Can someone teach me how to play Victoria II?
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

If its nothing specific I'd recommend look at a Let's play or two, and then just dive in for a try.

I've tried that. For some reason, I'm extremely good at bringing uncivilized nations into a civilized status, but once I'm there, I'm completely awful at the game. I can't industrialize at all (Can't manage POPs, really.), and I lose every military conflict I fight. And if I win, it's only because I outnumbered and outteched the enemy something like 3:1. So I suppose my weaknesses would be in combat and in industrializing.

In the History file. You go into the .txt file of the provinces and insert the year of the bookmark and the tag of the country.

It's a small-ass island in the Arctic. It's in Victoria 2 as a releasable nation.

Well, I downloaded the Sengoku Mod for Crusader Kings and I wanted to have a scenario where all the clans are independent fighting to form the Shogunate, rather than just be vassals who usurp it and make themselves Shogun. So I want each clan to be independent, with the holdings they have when vassalized in the 1551 start.

In CK2 there are no tags like that.

If you're looking, however, for a specific title, it would be the first letter of the tier of the title, and then the name of the title. (i.e k_england or d_normandy)

Oh. That is a whole different thing.

I don't have CK2's directory up at the moment, but I believe there is either a vassal or nation folder. (In the mods file)

I don't see anything like those, if I have to I'll do it the longer, more boring, and far less educational way of declaring everybody's independence ingame. God, will that be a pain in the ass, especially since I did it almost perfectly today, except then switched to a character that no longer had any holdings, thus ending the game before I could save... I don't really think things through :D

Hooray, more weirdness coming out of CK2! First up, a horde nation makes an unusual transition to a new religion. Later on in the game, the Golden Horde converted to the very same religion. The religion in that region of territory is an utter mess and always has been. Next up, we have a major achievement for the AI. The Scottish Isles has traded cultural leaders more than a few times now, as indicated by a previous screenshot showing the Kingdom of Ireland as the primary title of the major land-holder. Curiously, the Emperor doesn't have a single Kingdom title anymore. They've all been destroyed. Ducal titles are still aplenty but it's an utter mess. And lastly, I want to show off the power of camel cavalry. CCs are vulnerable in the melee stage, but if you have enough of them, the battle will never last that long.
Romantic slut. Self-deprecating egotist. Benevolent communist.
