Mods for beginner players?

[MamaJem]

Are there good mods for beginners, and is HPM and/or HFM good for new players? Or should I wait until I know how to actually play?

[The Void Boy]

not that I know of. Most overhaul mods will make the game more complex. HPM is probably the easiest one since it is pretty much just a better vanilla game.

So I should wait until I actually know how to play?

[The Void Boy]

more or less

If you want it easier you have to use console commands/cheats

or change the difficulty in game which influences your research, soldiers consumptions, leadership in battles and war exhaustion.

alternatively read this AAR

and then use and search the Wiki and read its guides first to get an idea.

Pop Demand and HFM are good.

No. HPM doesn't change fundamental gameplay and can be seen almost as more of an "unofficial patch" than a mod. I would recommend starting with HPM, it is basically how Victoria 2 should be.

I don't think some of is are reading the question I am asking, because someone mentioned Kaiserreich. What I know about Kaiserreich is that it is a complete overhaul, not good for a beginner.

[what am i doing]

Don't start with somethivg like Kaiserreich or Napolean's Legacy, start with something like the Historical Project Mod.

I recommend HPM or HFM

Your a bit late.

The /gsg/ mod is very good in that it only changes the nations (adds a lot of historical ones to Africa) and adds events which make the game more fun to play. But it doesnt seem to alter the gameplay otherwise so its a fairly vanilla game. the African countries make claiming Africa easier because you dont have to wait to gain the techs necessary to colonise them.

Little late.
