The gamewas originally released back in 2010 and has now been elevated to meme-status as we all wait patiently for Victoria 3(which could be announced in May!)Until that happens though, we’ll have to make do with its slightly archaic design, perhaps freshened up with some Victoria 2 mods.
Unique amongst the Paradox strategy games, Victoria 2 takes place over a relatively short time span but still counts its time in single days. Depending on your goal, you’ll often need to accomplish a lot in a short timespan, and if things don’t go perfectly, well… we won’t judge you if you need to look up some Victoria 2 cheats and console commands to help smooth things along.
Special mention to Steam user ‘NoseFaceButt’, mainly for the name, but also because they put in a lot of work compiling the commands and events for their own guide, many of which we reference below.
