Before I say anything else, let me preface this by saying:

When in doubt, ask the wiki.  Victoria gives DF a run for its money in complexity.

I'm going to focus on the commerce and industry research areas mostly.

Anyway, if you're going for an economic boom, that's good.  But don't neglect culture.  It might not seem important, but there are lots of useful hidden events triggered by culture and culture techs are required by almost everything else.  When I started playing, I never researched culture and wondered why I couldn't research the cool techs I wanted.

Also, (And I tell you this from ugly personal experience) when you are prompted to make choices (e.g. Jominian vs. Clausewitzian attitude and that sort of thing), don't just pick willy-nilly.  Many don't hurt either way, but some of these will seriously screw you up if you pick one that clashes with your long term goals.  There's a big one I remember - I think it was Meritocracy vs. Aristocracy.

But enough on that, you seem to have the game under control with the liberal faction, so let's go!

Before i start the next update, i'm just gonna check whether you think i should band the conservatives or just hold an election.

Nirur Torrir: Its not really derailing as such. And try Brazil. They have a huge army...of 3 divisions. But its still more than enough to steamroll everyone in south america, Though just annex everyone, as you get loads of terrority with revolts everywhere.

I was thinking of trying this on HoI2, but it would mainly involve being splattered by German Tanks

Sorry about lack of updates, doing it tomorrow I promise.

1.04 sucks. Going back to version 1.00. I'm not enjoying this very much. I could try another paradox game, like crusader kings or hearts of iron 2?

In my experience, there is no such thing as a playable v1.00 of a paradox game.  If you're going for another title, I'd say go with CK since fewer people have played it than EU or HoI.

its just that in 1.04 the liberals don't have protectionism

Ouch. Good luck, this was looking pretty good.
