OK I'm still on my EU3 game (Prussia carving out an empire in west Africa), but I'll ask this now because my intention is to continue this game with Victoria using a savegame converter.
-What is the best patch/mod for Victoria? I've heard of a thing called Vicky improved or something which seems to be the most popular. What are the up/downsides of the different choices?
-Has anybody tried converting an EU3 game to Victoria? Is there any weirdness that results from it?
Eg, I've heard some people on the Paradox forums talk about a game going from 1068 (Deus Vult) and taking it into 1953 (Doomsday).
Now the thing is I don't see how that could work, I've played Doomsday and I know that there are many country specific events, eg the invasion of France which occurs at a time along a route that matches reality very well - you have to fight the game just to get an extra few months before France falls. So what happens if in EU3+HOI France doesn't exist or has been isolated to one province, or Germany never formed or the Kingdom of Bohemia has taken over everything from Salzburg to eastern Turkey (as in my game)?
-Is this 'epic game' thing worth doing or should I just skip and start a normal Victoria game which is more my thing anyway?
