If you like stat then go for vicky.
But make sure you have the time and are ready to have to give a lot of resources to the game.
vicky is a very complicated game, and has a very large learning curve.

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
Heh... I ordered HoI2 from Amazon, since Vicky is apparently hard to find. I am looking for that one as well. Also, I am too poor at the moment to buy both games.
Paying for college sucks.
"Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
Yea, better to get Doomesday and not just HOI2, as Doomesday is a stand alone expansion
Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
Heh, I ordered both. Didn't realize Doomsday was stand-alone. Oops.
I've installed HoI2, and played some, but it's so different from the TW series--well, kind of. I am in the process of reading the quite-lengthy manual, and it sounds great. But in the campaign I've begun, I can't do anything. Not enough IC, you see. So how do you upgrade your economy if you don't have enough IC to build anything to give you more IC? Or am I being unfair, since the time goes by so much more slowly than in TW (hours as opposed to years)?
And what is a good starting faction to play as? I don't really want to start as a huge nation, say Japan or US, since I want to proceed a little more slowly and just get the feel of things...
Thanks for the advice gents!

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
So what nation did you start with ?

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
I tried Turkey. I figured that they'd not be too small, and are in a good trade position...
Whoops, that must be the TW talking...
At any rate, I can't build hardly anything. Not even one factory, let alone two. It'll take me about two or so years to build one, in one province. Not so bad in TW terms, but in a game thats over in eleven years, way to long. It even takes me about half a year to train one unit of light infantry (instead of the ninety days it's supposed to).
So am I just plain missing something?
