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?
"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?"

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
I'de probably suggest playing as a SA country it may take a bit to build things but you can really learn the basics of the game and if you go to the chatroom Disco or Kenshin or I will help you out with things you don't understand.
Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
One of the tabs allows you to move sliders about. These sliders dictate who much of your resouces you place into each pop.
ie Consumer Goods, Production, Supplies,Reinforcements, Upgrades.
If your Production Need is higher than the actual then it will take longer to build units. Usually at the beginning of the game you can move these sliders around without causing to many problems.
This info starts on page 29 of the Hoi manual.
Might be worth having a good read

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
Yes. Unless I drop all of the others to basically zero, production wouldn't get "out of the red" and go 100%. Reinforcements and upgrades were already at zero.
So I took Csar's advice and started a campaign with Colombia. I can build things now! :D Granted only two things at a time and they have crappy manpower, but its much better than as the Turks. I am a tad impatient and I want to invade Peru...
That manual is crazy! I've never seen one so thick, verbose, and with as few graphics as HoI2's. Course, this game appears to be targeted at gamers other than the 8-16 year old, ADD-afflicted demographic...

Re: Victoria or Hearts of Iron 2
Yep well thats good the smaller countries help you out with learning the whole system of the game so that you can then play with some of the larger countries later on. I played as Argentina and conquered all of SA and it was a pretty fun game. But watch out who you declare war on or should I say don't let your belligerance get too high because if it does and your playing a CA or SA country the United States will declare war and believe me you can't win that war.Well if have any questions I'de be happy to answer them for you.
