Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
Since we have a HoI2 thread going, I was wondering if people have Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun, short, Vicky.
I have it, and I look for people to play it with. If you are interrested, please respond to this thread, with a date and time preferred and we'll work it out.
I can play almost all the time, since Im waiting for the Uni to start, so im on holiday.
What countries to play? Well, I don't care personally, but I think we should play countries close to each other and form alliances. However, if you want to kick my butt, that can be arranged too.
Note, the latest patch is 1.03
Hope to hear from someone!
:bow:

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
Yes im up for it
Im in the uk GMT
Friday or Saturday would be best for me 6pm to midnight.
I suggest we could get a good game going using
Belgium, holland, Austria, ottoman and Prussia
or Mexico, Texas, USA, CSA etc...
I would suggest we keep away from UK as its a little to large for the time limit.

here is an official link: http://www.paradoxplaza.com/victoria.asp
shadeswolf, cool!
I would want to play a rather small country, belgium, sweden etc, since it's been a while I played last time.
If you see this post - contact me on msn: skafsgaard@gmail.com and let's play tonight already.

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
Is the game just like Risk but way better? if you know what i mean.
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
the only similarities it has with Risk, is that it features a world map. In Vicky you can play ANY country you'd like, you can control: trade, industry, politics, religion, military, navy, diplomacy, research etc.
Basically, you shape a country the way you like it, while interacting with a world. A great game!

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun

-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun

Personally I bought it from an online shop in Denmark, ordered it online and they shipped the package to me.
But I've seen it in the normal shops - and you can order it from http://paradox.e-butik.se/ as well.
chaged the link to a place where you can actually buy it

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
Ok thanks for the info i may join you sometime soon if i buy it.

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
shade, im just trying to work out exactly how to open those ports, will post here when I find something.
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
I dont think we will get this working tonight mate
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
nope, we wont :(
but im on the right track finding out the ports and stuff, it's difficult tho.
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
I think I managed to open the ports needed, if you are still here would you mind just checking it out to see if it works?
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
I'll join if I can, but I'm only available for play during weekends, and I'd prefer a small country aswell, never played online before :book:
-
Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
I have it, but I still have to figure out how to play it :embarassed: . It seems very interesting but quite complicated to play.

Cool, another player. Me and shades met in the lobby - but we cudnt join a game. You'll need to configure your router to forward the ports victoria needs. If you've got questions, ask them here and I'll try to answer.

I suggest that you throw the manual out the window and got to the forums: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...hp?forumid=160 and read some of the guides there.
Also play a country like sweden and mess around and learn what each button does etc. questions can be asked here as well. ~:)

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
How do I configure my router thingy? Do we play with a beta-patch? Any house rules? And if I might I'd prefer to be 1. Sweden 2. Sardinia-Piedemont those are the two I can think of...
Oh, and I'm GMT +1 but I guess you figured that out already.

First of all what kind/brand of router have you got?
When you know that, check this thread: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...d.php?t=115528
Now you need to open these ports: 2302-2400 you can configure that in your router configuring application.

No, we play with 1.03
No. But if you have any suggestions please add them.

Thanks for the link. I won't be able to throw the manual out of the window as i seem to have lost it. :embarassed:

Re: Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun
The manual/ guide you down load from the Paradox forum is far better than the one that comes with the game.
As a suggestion play Belgium as a start, its get you right into battle mode, and once you make piece with holland, you have plenty of coal and iron to produce steel. You can also build glass factories and then a beer factory.
All these items can then be sold on the open market to make loads of money.
