Hey, I'm playing as the Ottoman Empire in EU2 for a transfer and I got two questions....
http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/EU2Vic
I'm at a point where I have high land, trade 6 and infra. 7 but very low naval. I know that I need to have naval up to 40 for me to get civilized status but, imo, it seems like a waste of time as I don't really use boats much as the Ottomans. I'd rather focus on minting a ton, building manufactories in my core territories and maxing out land and Infrastructure. Is being uncivilized really that big of a deal? What's the difference between civilized and uncivilized countries?
I have enough manuf's to start with two machine parts factories and with a high infra. I should start with 20 machine parts and I should have land tech 6 and 2 machine part factories and a ton of ducats + prestige and military units..... how easy will that make it for me to become civilized and research the tech necessary to do so?
Should this make becoming civilized easy enough that I should do this rather then wasting a fortune on useless naval tech to try to go for civilized status at the expense of all the other things?
Also, I'm tempted to shoot up my badboy rating and grab up a ton of German and Russian provinces since I know that in the sequel they'll each break off into various provinces. But I've read that if my badboy is too high that countries won't trade with me.
Is this really true? How high should I limit my badboy to being while I try and conquer more territories?
