It's worth noting that the newest version of the fan-built EU3 to Victoria 2 converter appears to be fully working. Converts countries, province ownership, pops, politics, religions, factories, armies and relationships. Pretty impressive.

There's a few oddball glitches in conversion (European minors like Guyenne being converted to things like Gwalior and Guangxi Clique) but overall it appears to work quite well.

Now I need to finish up my Hindustani game so I can export it over and continue expanding the reach of the Grand Maharajah. It's 1791, and Hindustan stretches from Baghdad to Vietnam. My national income is about 13000, basically what the next two major powers (Austria and Castille) make put together. I've had to slow my rate of conquests just because my current ruler has a paltry Administrative rating of 3, so anything under 75% cores trigger Overextension, and I'm sitting right at 75%. Should finally get cores on my eastern Persian territories around 1800, which will free me up to grab a few more provinces somewhere else: maybe SW China or pushing further into the Middle East or the Horn of Africa.

Or I could just say "screw the overextension penalty" and expand as fast as my infamy will allow me (It drops 2.35 points a year, and I can use Imperialism to get each province for 2 infamy points, so I could gobble up China 5-6 provinces at time for a series of wars...)

Overextension isn't much more then a nuisance IMHO.

Indeed, it will only really hurt if you have a lot of other problems. Way too high infamy for instance.

[RedKing]

Infamy's not really a problem. I swallowed up a big chunk of Indochina by beating up on Japan (Minamoto had been engaged in a steady annexation of all the SE Asian minors for a century or more, and I finally said enough). Got 20 infamy out of it. Within 10 years, I was back to being a saint. War exhaustion is the bigger concern.

EDIT: I'm gonna have to use that converter mod that the EU32Vic2 team hacked up, because the country converter is being seriously derpy. Castille = Bikaner? Shaybanids = California?

I have since taken Tibet, Ming and the little ones inbetween. Wu and Japan are next.

The west seems to be terrified of me.

I have like, 20+ armies of 25k steamrolling everything... and I still have 513k Manpower.

Novgorod?

[Azkanan]

Novgorod?

Muscowy to Russia.

[RulerOfNothing]

That reminds me, I need to try Novgorod to Russia sometime.

[RedKing]

Novgorod to Russia is actually not that bad if you can avoid trouble with Sweden and the Golden Horde. Most of the Russian minors have bigger fish to fry (or avoid being fried by) early on. Trade League stuff can help boost your income to put you on par with the Great Powers.

I suppose this is with Heir to the Throne or Divine Wind?

Also, these one-province-countries are really annoying.

Well actually, I quite like them. Nice and easy victims - especially when they've just broken off from another country.

But when you have no Casus Belli, your infamy get skirocket. I hate this.

Problem?

I hate Infamy and War Exhaustion game mechanics, and remove them from my game. They're completely overwhelming when you become a large nation. Later in the game, when you have armies of 18k [land tech 21] attacking you, you need an army of 30k [land tech 17~]. Suddenly, war exhaustion 8. Suddenly. Rioters.

One rioter grabs one part of your country on the other side of the world? You're fucked APOLOGIES. "In not a very good zone to be in.". So, to avoid this from happening, you need armies of 15k~ scattered all over your country, which skyrockets war exhaustion if some ffffffaaabad guy decides to cast war your way.
