Victoria An Empire Under The Sun VIP Edition

Uploaded by SaorEire; we serve neither king, nor kaiser, but Ireland! This is the definitive and complete torrent of Victoria An Empire Under The Sun. It comes with the expansion pack, Victoria Revolutions which ironed out all the bugs of the base game, and Victoria Improvement Project (http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/Victoria_Improvement_Project) which is a user community created mod from the members of the Paradox Interactive forum. It shores up the game's historical accuracy, making for a much more realistic experience. Its installation is not necessary, if you wish to just have the game and the expansion, but it is very much recommended. Everything has been tested thoroughly, and works fine. Problems may crop up, as is inevitable with an on going mod, but nothing game damaging. The steps listed must be taken in order, and any deviation from it will cause fuck ups. Please note, unlike Deviance's base copy release, this edition has no files missing, hence the 777MB size. It will however inform you of a missing intro .avi file, regarding this publisher. It is of no importance. Instructions; *Mount the Victoria disk using Daemon Tools as per usual *Install the game *Use the victoria_104 patch to get Victoria up to the latest release *Mount the Revolutions expansion disk *Install the expansion *Use the vr_patch... to patch up to the latest release *Drag the files within the Hotfix 6 .rar file into the Victoria directory (the following steps aren't required if you don't wish to install VIP) *Install VIPR01Classic, followed by VIPR0.2, and VIPR02Hotfix2. *Install the VIPRO1InterfaceMod, for a vastly improved interface. *Drag the db and gfx folders within Prinz_Wilhelm_and_Semper_Victor_s_Leaderpack_v._1.05 to the main directory for extra leaders. *Drag the contents of the Colourscales archive to the map directory, making sure to name the tiles... file as follows; tiles.bmp.bak *Finally, add the contents of the New_Victora_Frames to the gfx then interface folder, replacing the existing files. Credits go to TNTVillage for the base game, Deviance for the expansion, OHGamer for VIP, Prinz Wilhelm and Semper Victor for the leaders, Tyrel68 for the interface, aswell as anyone I've missed out. Please be aware, I didn't create anything here, bar the compiling of the torrent.

May I warn people, that on the Victoria Revolutions image, there is a trojan horse in the Deviance folder. Aslong as the files within aren't opened, no viruses will be obtained.
Hopefully this message will stem any cries of "You're trying to infect me!"; I assure you, I'm not.
A virus free version of the patch has been included.

bityun (2008-11-16)

VIPR02Hotfix2.exe and dev-vire.bin in Victoria Revolutions are trojans/worm. Are those the only infected file you are talking about? Or are there any others?
Where is the virus free version of the patch?
Would there be an infection if I mount the Victoria: Revolutions images?
Why are there trojans in the first place?
Thanks.

SaorEire (2008-11-16)

The only virus in this torrent is localised to the Deviance folder patch, on the Ricky image; to say the image itself is a trojan is untrue. Furthermore, there is no virus inside the VIP02Hotfix at all.
If you're asking me where the virus free version of the patch is, you've not looked in the main folder everything comes in. Whelps like you aren't really worth babysitting, I wouldn't have replied, if only to rebuke your false claims.
Regardless, the question of why there is a virus should be asked of Deviance, not me. If you had actually read the readme, or even this fucking page, you would have been aware that it wasn't I who created the image.

bityun (2008-11-16)

Whoa, calm down man, I didn't accuse you of anything.
I wouldn't say the VIP02Hotfix has a trojan if I didn't run a virus scan on it. avast Virus scan says that VIP02Hotfix is a Win32:Trojan-gen.
Of course I know you didn't make the files, I just wonder if you know why there is a trojan.
I would ask Deviance directly if I can actually find their website/forum. Google search didn't come up with anything.
I appreciate that you had compiled this torrent, but you don't have to be so rude.

SaorEire (2008-11-16)

Well AVG confirms there is nothing malicious in the archive. Besides, it was obtained from the Paradox Interactive forum, where numerous other people have gotten it with no problems.
Since the only actual virus is from Deviance, I cannot possibly tell you what the reason for that is. Word is, it's common for his cracks especially to have viruses.
To be fair, you fraudulently claimed the actual image, rather than a file within in, was a trojan. Surely you can see how poorly articulated claims would piss someone off.

Weeby (2009-01-08)

So, does this one actually work? I only found 1 other torrent of this game the one by Deviance, is this the same torrent + expansion? I ask because the Deviance one has missing files(s) and fails to run properly.

Weeby (2009-01-12)

This game works fine :)
Even though the game itself (not this particular torrent) is allegedly loaded with bugs that cause crashes I have yet to encounter any problems. Thanks SaorEire

Weeby (2009-01-15)

Oh and by the way I'm an idiot for not seeing this

SaorEire (2009-01-19)

Take note people; this is why humans should engage their brain before speaking, else you look like a fucking moron, like Weeby here. Useless cunt.

Weeby (2009-01-19)

Fuck you, you little fuckin prick. I was thanking you for the fuckin upload you dumb shit, take your own advice.

Sachaztan (2009-01-22)

Seriously, calm down and stop overreacting :S

SaorEire (2009-01-25)

I don't want thanks from cretins that struggle with a fundamental like reading.
It's not a great wonder why people can't be arsed with uploading torrents and the like; the sea of feckless morons that don't know their arse from their elbow, slavering over each other to act like a tosser.

HoChiDude (2009-03-18)

That's the Irish for you!

redmanPH (2009-04-11)

Seriously man, CHILL THE FUCK DOWN. We're sorry if you had a bad childhood and a raped mother, but you don't need to bring out all the hate on us... uhm... "tossers."
oh and btw thanx0rz for the l33t upl0ad :D

stupidmonkee (2009-04-20)

Good lord, SaorEire. Here's a tip - nothing's more pathetic than somebody who can't muster basic courtesy and manners on the internet.
Seriously, the internet tough guy act? It's beyond lame. It's a cliche.

Cats777 (2009-08-28)

This is why I hate Irishmen, except leprechauns.

Mikicailic (2009-11-30)

Yeah!

sevendarkdays (2009-12-14)

Good game, steep learning curve but once you get past that it's excellent.

Lenoil (2010-04-25)

Is there an mac version torrent of this great game available? If not, please make one if you have! Kthxbai

Ares96 (2010-06-14)

I'm kind of a newbie to this, so what do you mean by "mounting the Victoria disk"?

Morpheus009 (2010-07-15)

\"making sure to name the tiles... file as follows; tiles.bmp.bak\"nnWat.n

jacknitro (2010-08-04)

Wow, I always thought this was a rip with VIPR preinstalled on it, so you couldn't uninstall it for updates. I was wrong, this torrent has two images for Vicky and Ricky and then the installation files for VIPR. Excellent release.
And if you actually try to install a crack for this then you're an idiot. Paradox games have never had copy protection and any crack for one is an obvious virus.

kedeviss (2010-09-06)

Ares96 if you haven't already worked it out by now, i'd be kinda horrified that you didn't think of using google, however mounting refers to using a programme like daemon tools to trick your pc into thinking the .cue file is actually a cd
this has been possibly one of the most complicated torrents i've ever done, but as long as people carefully follow the instructions, they shouldn't have any problems, but careful execution of them is important as it's certainly more complex than the majority of torrents
still, cheers for the upload SaorEire

martire1 (2011-08-18)

I know its been 3 years since anyone talked about a trojan in the victoria revolutions image/ deviance folder ... but can you just skip that file while downloading the torrent or do you have to download everything then deleete the damn folder?
THANKS. :I

RogherNahasa (2012-01-24)

Thanks.

@SaorEire
"AVG confirms"
God, this uploader is a real POS. This torrent is suspect as hell.

ClicheNme (2012-07-29)

This torrent is legit. SaorEire already explained it before.
All you have to do is follow directions; Don't open the patch within the Victoria Revolutions disc -- that's the trojan horse.
Stay out of the disc and you'll be fine. Don't open it in magic disc, or any other editing software. Simply just mount it, install it, unmount it.
Again, you will NOT get a virus from mounting the disc -- only if you run the patch that's within it.

dip3 (2012-09-10)
