How is your Victoria Game going?

Okay I'm having some trouble with the game. I've made an order for 3 artillery units and the artillery pieces are gathered but I can't seem to gather the wine or liquor to finish the order, despite that I have several wine and liquor factories in the country. Am I missing something?
 
I just had this problem. It's the way the world market works. Either you don't produce enough or you're in a sphere. That means you need to buy it on the world market, which makes things tricky. Higher ranking countries get first dibs on the world market, so they probably have placed orders which are getting filled first.

So, either increase your score or your production. (which won't effect much if you are in a sphere)

Also, I have PDM now but I can't seem to get into it. Am I missing something?
 
1.3, the latest official patch had the liquor shortage issue. I think the 1.4 betas are better with that.
 
Oh yes. The 1.4 patch gives the government priority over the private market, helping to alleviate that problem.
 
Well I'm running 1.4 beta so I guess it's still buggy
 
It's still possible that there just isn't enough liquor there.

Also, I like the new political aspects of PDM, but some of the economic changes seem unnecessary. I can't wait for AHD. :D

This was one of the main reasons I switched to PDM. In my abandoned Australia game, I could not build any half-descent units even though I had at least 4 profiting wine and liquor factories and wasn't in anyone's sphere.

And Gamez, PDM gets a lot better if you play past around 1855 or so, some of the new event chains are great.

Indeed. I am getting excited about AHD as well. :D
 
How useful are Capitalists in starting industrialisiation? I understand that Capitalists, obviously, get their profits from the factories that they build... but they won't build any factories because they have no money to start with! I read that Capitalists can loan money from the national bank, which unfortunately they don't seem to be doing. I don't like manually changing my government type but it looks like I may have too - all my Capi's have done is build a barely successful glass factory in one state with 1000 workers. Maybe I'm not helping them enough or something, but I have lowered their taxes to 0, so all of their money should go on their work.
 
Try using a NF to encourage capitalists in a high population province?
 
It may depend on what ruling party you have. The more they lean towards planned economy, the less likely capitalists will build factories. I tried PDM last night and as soon as I enacted the Meiji Restoration, I put a national focus on some of the more heavily populated regions for capitalists and when I built my own factories, other factories were being built because I had state capitalism. Although that may be the PDM mod.
 
I find capitalists pretty useless tbh...the only point they have is building railroads for me. I run State Capitalism 99% of the time because I know which factories to build and when to expand, which seems to completely elude the capitalists. In vanilla it's especially useful because as long as you run a big enough factory that's not canned food/small arms/artillery you can get some huge surpluses.

PDM I find more compelling for the look, the event chains, and the revamped economy. I got the Ottomans to release the rest of the Balkans after beating them and France in the Crimean War, it's fantastic. On the other hand, in the latest version at least prices are highly fluctuating, and the capitalists even more vexing than normal when they siphon off my employment into crappy level 1 factories. I also destroy factories pretty often in PDM, when the computer builds some crappy factory or they start running negatives. I'm not sure if it's increasing input prices or decreasing output price due to overproduction, but I've gone from a level 13 lumber factory raking in more than 1,000 surplus to the same in negatives in a few months.
 
German Empire in PDM.

This is Europe after the war with the United Kingdom

Not really much to say. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Took some territory from the Austrians and war with France and Spain a while ago which resulted in the liberation of Occitania and Catalonia, Spain got controlled by the carlists after the war.

Bosnia got divided between Croatia and Serbia, Romania took northern Bulgaria, Turkey is dying.
Next and final stop: The Russian Empire

Also, the USA is about to be taken by rebels. (Not sure if they will be Socialists or Fascists)
 
How does one influence political parties? I think you need to speak in support of what increases support of an issue a party cares about, listed in the ruling parties menu but my conservatives seem to be growing and I haven't completed all the political reforms.
 
@Parapaiontes: Could we get a picture of the great powers, or at least a list of the national rankings?
