Personaly i prefer Victoria 2 because its less oriented arund war and military. But i like them both a lot.
Victoria 2, but only if I let myself use the Console to remove my infamy (Event 18540). Otherwise HoI.

Thanks And another reason I like DH over Vicky2 is because the combat seems a lot more, erm realistic.
Ya you have to give that to DH. But 1) That's not the main focus of Vicky2, 2) That IS the main focus of DH.
Victoria 2. I prefer the longer time span of the game and the general time period. It also has a very nice map and focuses on industrialisation. although I am not a blob monster in these types of games, I do get annoyed that annexing a one province unciv in the middle of Asia suddenly rewards you with 20 infamy. It would have been much better if they had had lowered infamy for unciv/unciv wars and added a new cases belli for civs to attack uncivs.
Victoria 2 for the better government and economy system it has. However between Vicky 2 and Europa 3: Divine Wind, I would pick EU3
I like Victoria II in every way except the god damn British. They intervien a lot, have at least 100k guys ready to fight all the time, and limit your colonial abilities to Africa and a few Pacific Islands if your playing a standard european nation.
