calling all Victoria veterans- the "help a noob" thread

Laborers to Clerks to Capitalists. Once they build up enough reserves they'll start building railroads/Factories.

I got Revolutions today. I dont see much of a difference. At least not yet. But in my new game with Brazil, Im only making around 13-14 in cash per day, which is nothing considering i was making 60 per day in my other game. Plus, how do I get more manpower?

[Hooahguy]

There was a revolt.... spread like wildfire... my forces defeated everywhere... I lost....*collapses from exhaustion.*

On a more serious note, I knew it couldnt be that easy to play a game of Vicky. A good revolt every now and then keeps the mind sharp. Though when the rebels have a 20,000 man army, it gets a bit tricky. And it was out of the blue as well.

It's due to militancy.

Thanks, all that is killing me know is how slow units move from province to province.
Even my grandfather moves faster than they do.

I really wanted to do that "3 day (almost) bloodless battle" option but it took too long for my forces to arrive from western Brazil (where they were facing down possible Peruvian invasions) to the East coast.

Argh, double post.

Convert POPs to soldiers.

How do I convert POP?

Im also trying to figure out why I "order" some goods to be bought, for I need more canned food and small arms to increase mobilization, but Im not getting any more of those materials even though I have the money for it and its been many months since I ordered the goods.
And the trade section of the wiki is no help.

There may simply not be any that canned goods you can buy. Buying from the market goes in order of prestige- first place gets first dibs. So, what's likely is that you're simply not high enough on prestige. If you succeed in buying from the market, it'll be pretty much instantly added to your stock.

In terms of converting pops, this should clarify it- just follow the cursor.

Also I think your defensive spending affects how fast your manpower grows, but I don't remember.

Thanks for the info. In V:R, is the economy changed much? I seem to be making much less money than I was in vanilla Vicky. Before I was making, as Brazil, 50-70 per month, now its 13-14 per month. I havent changed any of the sliders for tax or spending, so there is no reason that Im not making as much as before.

It has a number of small changes. The most blatant one is that now Industrialization will mostly be done by your capitalists, and depending on the ideology of the your government, you may or may not interfere in the economy

- Planned Economy & State Capitalism allows you to build anything. On Planned Economy, your capitalists build nothing. On State Capitalism, I think they can only build RR.
- On Interventionism, you can build RR and expand existing factories, but you can't build new factories
- With Laissez-Faire, you can't build anything (Except Forts, colonial buildings and Naval Stations) and the entire economy (Building/Closing of factories) is ran by the capitalists

Also in Vic: Rev, now you aren't allowed to promote who you well wish, but rather those of your primary & accepted cultures alone. The only way to promote other culture's POP's is to have a party with Full Citizenship in power.

Anyways, vanilla Vic: Rev sucks. VIP is a lot more fun.
