APD Westernisation (Vicky 2)

[Kattze]

I'm currently playing as Egypt and the westernisation bar had just turned 100%. Is there a difference between the APD westernisation mechanics and the vanilla one? Also, would it be better to modernise immediately or should I let France (or other GPs) sphere me first before westernising?

 

[Whisky]

Westernize that shit!

You're gonna want to do it as soon as you can (If it's 100%, DO IT NOW!) so you can catch up on research and because Reactionaries are probably itching to ruin your reforms.

One should hold off westernization as long as possible. Nothing good comes from an 'informed' people.

How the fuck is Vicky 2 these days anyways? I played it when it first came out and was a little disappointed, and ended up shelving after a couple campaigns. Pops were out of control, ships were wonky, colonization seemed overpowered(took the entirety of Africa as Portugal), etc. Does it have meat on its bones since the expansion?

Mostly yes but still needs mods to fix economy. And by fix I mean make realistic since its kinda working in vanilla. Just has ridiculous stuff.

Of all their titles, Vicky is in dire need of a third installment.

Just use PDM/APD. Apart from fixing the economy, also adds better event chains and new states ( though usually from new nations mod).

brb, forming Arab union and attacking Sweden to obtain my first Eurabian province.

It took a while, but APD got the game in pretty good shape. Even managed to make lassiez-faire useful in the right circumstances.
