I wouldn't worry.  If you have interventionist economy you may want to try to reopen them after you have some railroad in the state.  You can also encourage people to become craftsmen in that area, I've noticed that a lot of factories go under because of lack of workers.


I would also consider the PoPdemand mod as it makes the economy work better.


Currently I'm frustrated as I want to enter a war on the side of Hungary against Austria but I can't.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Anyone ever play a game where GB winds up getting beat down? That might be a challenge. If my goal were, say, to bring Britain down far enough to be a secondary power. What would that take? Sacking London seventeen times as France maybe?

I just figured out how to influence countries!  Shame it took me till 1850 to figure it out. <_<   I had a decent liberal democracy going then *Boom!*, Napoleon the III.  I have pretty much destroyed Austria though.  Next I hope to take away Silesia from Prussia.

In my first 10-ish Victoria 2 games I made it to around 1850 before discovering some key concept (colonization, national influences, influencing other countries) that I had missed and restarting.

:D

Yeah they don't make it exactly easy to uncover the key concepts. In part, I blame that on (as is the case with most p'dox games) the tortured evolution of game concepts such that something that is important now was never fully documented.

That happens in my game all buy itself.  Ireland rebelled and Jacobites took over Britain.  I've beaten up on the big powers so much that Austria, the Ottoman empire, and Russia are no longer great powers but Sicily, Piedmont, Bavaria and Hanover are

Russia melted down in revolution so hard that Poland just steam rolled them with a little help from the Swedes.  :lmfao:

It took twenty years, but Russia is a great power again, but the Poles are in my sphere and haven't dared move against them.

Ran in to a strange bug.  After defeating the North German Federation in war in which I got the war goal "dismantle empire", I lost lost the Rheinland state and the game made it a Puppet state under my control.  That was one of my most industrialized areas. :(

Apparently it's an over site with the scripting.  If Germany loses the war and owns this city a new nation is created and made a puppet of France.  Unfortunately it doesn't check to see if all the provinces in the new nation are owned by Germany.  Took me down from the world largest industrial power to the second largest, created a large enclave of french owned provinces in Germany and abandoned a large population of Ethnic Frenchmen in a German culture state.

Wow, I've never seen Sweden get Finland back.
A independent Finland happens fairly often but not such a neat take back.

Sweden got it back in the 1840s IIRC.  They won northern Finland by themselves IIRC, they may have allied with me for the southern half.  I can't remember when our long standing alliance began.

Britain didn't bother the US at all in my German game, why are they attacking me? I have 200 relations with them and my infamy is down to zero.  I just want to take the rest of my cores from Mexico. :mad:

How are navies handled in the latest Victoria 2? I read some stuff about navies being so huge and unrealistic or something.
