I Let Twitch Chat Teach Me Victoria 2, Here's How Badly It Went

  • I made a very big mistake and attempted to let twitch chat try and teach me how to play Victoria 2. I had a dream of massive conquest as Sicily, however that didn't go quite to plan.
    Victoria II is a grand strategy game played during the colonial era of the 19th century, where the player takes control of a country, guiding it through industrialisation, political reforms, military conquest, and colonization.

    So the reason the Papal States attacked you is because (I think, been a while since I played an Italy game) all the secondary power Italian states have a Italian (Re)unification casus belli on each other (through decisions I believe) either that or they justified on you and didn't get caught which is hilarious to me. Your infamy did not affect the choice, they attacked because the majority of your forces were away. Also, rebels can spawn as different unit types depending on the pop type that is rebelling. Those rebels were purely infantry and because of that they were able to to beat your own infantry stack. For early game you should have 10 units per army, 1 reconnaissance unit (a hussar preferably), 4 infantry (Guards are fine too but cycle them out in late game) and 5 artillery. Its a good early unit composition and ironically the AI can't beat it unless they death stack it. Late game, just double that composition. Of the Italian states, Sardinia-Piedmont is the best to play starting off there because they start with a alliance with France. Also, early game it is best to get at least 2% clergy for literacy. Boosting soldiers to 5% in your cores is also a good idea since it means you will have a fairly decent army size of people loyal to you (as non-core pops tend to join liberation movements which might result in rebels appearing in your non-core army groups). In army tech, researching in the Light Armament tree will allow you to lower combat width for yourself which is quite handy when it comes to fighting your foes.

    for beginner I would recommend russia, it got some problems, sure.
    But you can try to fix them ;)
    Short guide to russia:
    Switch government so you can build factories your own.
    Spam some cheap factories out.
    Destroy your navy
    Defund the army
    Put every focus on clergymen.
    with that you gain money, slowly literacy.
    Then you can do whatever you want
    AND build Railroads even if you have capitalists ;)
