Huh, I actually never knew that! It's hard to say exactly how it sorts but from what testing I've done now it does look like the better generals tend to end up higher in the list actually... that's amazing in that case, thank you!

At least they did end up fighting the Ottomans in the end. Meanwhile, imagine joining the Korean army hoping to protect your nation from nearby threats such as Japan, only to get annexed by Greece of all nations and then told to fight your former allies in China before walking to Europe to restore an empire you have no relation to :D

Greece is a bit rough in the beginning, especially economically, but if you get Medicine and conquer a big unciv like Korea or Panjab (the latter of which you can get UK to conquer for you) you can quickly improve your situation!

What's the ideal army comp in Vic 2 in your opinion ? I usually just stack artillery and infantry. Guards when avaible. But you seem to also use cavalry
@xarxos5274
3 жыл бұрын
When it comes to combat, the most important thing by far is to have a lot of artillery and then have enough frontline units (usually infantry) to cover all of your artillery. Having cavalry on the flanks can be useful if you outnumber your enemy, since cavalry have flanking range (called Maneuver in Vic2) so they can attack units that aren't directly in front of them which let's you get more leverage from your numerical superiority. However this mostly comes into play in the early game and becomes less important later. But the main advantage of cavalry comes from recon, which both helps reduce enemy dig-in bonuses and also speeds up occupations. For that reason, having at least some cavalry in each army stack is really good, since it helps both in battles and occupations. Engineers can be good too since they speed up occupations on provinces that have forts through their Siege stat. So the ideal army composition in my opinion is: As much artillery as the combat width allows, enough infantry to cover your artillery, and enough cavalry to get 100% recon efficiency, and maybe some engineers to get 100% siege efficiency (becomes more important later in the game).

4 infantry, 1 engineer, 4 artillery, and 1 hussar is 1 stack, it is quite flexible and is a full back row of artillery along with 2 recon from the hussar

Way better than my attempt at it. OE allied with NGF and I had never had a chance. 2 things to consider are 1) if you start increaseing tension around 1839 you'll almost certainly be the first crisis of the game and then can war 2) you can just wait for the ottos to fight Egypt and then clean up and take your stuff (unless you want battle prestige)
@xarxos5274
3 жыл бұрын
NGF can be tough to deal with, that's probably a harder ally to deal with than France all in all! The crisis route is something you can do for sure, but it's a bit too unreliable in my opinion which GPs you get backing from and whether it devolves into a war or not, so I rather not rely on that myself. Fighting Egypt also isn't much of an issue, and I think it's worth fighting their armies too just for the prestige as you say :)

For whatever reason, as long as you don't move your troops into China's territory or the territories of their substates (for example Manchuria), China just won't send any troops into Korea until you've annexed them. I'm not sure why, but that's how it is!

Becaues you need positive warscore to add war goals, and I never managed to get that due to the Ottoman blockades (you need positive individual warscore if you're not the war leader, and Russia was the war leader on our side so even though we we're winning overall, I still had negative warscore individually).
