Greater powers will come into conflict over colonial territories and 'spheres of influence' - lesser nations which the great powers exert great control over. You may struggle with new liberal ideologies near the beginning of the game, whereas near the end you may be struggling with the possibility of your government collapsing under the pressure of armed communist or fascist revolutions. This is a game that begins with muzzle loaded rifles, cavalry, and clippers, and ends with airplanes, battleships, and machineguns. The timespan may seem short compared to EU3 or CK2, but there's a significant amount of distinct change throughout the game, both in terms of technology and warfare as well as the ideological thoughts of your populace and politicians. This means that many of the top players on the world stage are familiar and somewhat static, but there is still room for surprises. This is a game centered on the struggles of great powers trying to outdo one another on the global stage while the secondary and lesser powers are, at best trying to claw their way to great power status, if not simply attempting to prevent great power influence from hobbling them. Victoria 2 starts us in 1836 and runs until 1936. With 400 or 500 years of game time, you'll sometimes see some unassuming duchy from the middle of Europe that has consolidated power, colonized, or done something else exceptional compared to it's historical fate. That being said, some of my explanations will be an attempt to liken mechanics from Victoria 2 with similar ones in EU3 or CK2, but I believe that these updates will be helpful even to those who haven't played other Paradox titles.Д®uropa Universalis 3 and Crusader Kings 2 can often surprise you with who comes out on top. If you're a fan of both Europa Universalis 3 and Crusader Kings 2, you will likely be able to get into this game relatively quickly after being introduced to the UI and some of the basic mechanics. Welcome to the Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness instructional Let's Play! My goal with this LP is to help people who are interested in playing Victoria 2, but who've been put off by the complexity actually get their foot in the door and start enjoying the title.
