I know -_-'. I was just saying that the mod isn't VIP, it's VIP:R which means the AAR isn't for vanilla Victoria, but for Victoria: Revolutions

well, i would start with EU2/3 but i dont have the money to get all those games, then get to vicky.

Then don't get all games. Get EU3: Complete first. Or wait for yet another EU3 expansion to come out then buy the four of them.

Did you read the AAR?

Did it sound confusing enough?

EU3 is bar far simpler than HoI and Vicky. I suggest you start out with this one. It takes some time to understand the mechanics, but it's not nearly as complicated as Vicky.

Then, once you get a good grip of the game, you can try another Paradox game. EU:Rome is easy, but is also quite bad. I suggest you try HoI2 or 3 and then Vicky (which seems to be the most complex one).

I'm in the process of trying HoI2, and once you get a grasp of how the game works, it's not that hard.

and, unlike HOI3, it does not need a 2011 computer to work at decent speed.....

Thus why anyone hasn't recommended buying HoI 3. That game is for all purposes a beta build in any case.

Speaking of HoI, what faction is a good one to start with? I've been trying USSR, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the huge territory, and the lack of production. Are Germany, France and UK easier?
