Hi everyone!

After buying Vic 2 on Steam and getting Revolutions on the side I was thinking it might be fun to give Rev another try while they patch 2 up. I'm planning on playing as Prussia with the goal of unifying Germany. But it's fun! Anyway, I'm fairly experienced in Vic 1 though it has been a year or two since I last played. That's why I'm wondering what difficulty settings I should use? A good balance between constant war and no war at all would be nice.
 
Argh, I cannot even find the difficulty settings. They are not where Paradox usually keeps them....

Help?

Pick scenario you want to play, go to options and you can change difficulty there.

I started off Weakling AI, and Normal, and i think it is the best for the first game imho.
 
Normal/Normal should be okay with Prussia and a veteran Vicky player. Revolutions takes a bit of time to get into, but it's not exactly harder than. Just make sure you know the differences (low rich taxes to get your capitalists to do something, colonization requirements etc). Normally, I'd rather reduce the difficulty than the aggression. A couple of wars are a nice change of pace, after all.
