Wiz posted:Not my fault you guys aren't asking the important questions What are the benefits of going communist? People enjoying a high standard of living is nice and good but what do I, a batshit insane and depraved dictator, get out of the deal? Can you agitate revolutionaries in capitalist countries if you are running a successful communist society? e: maybe something like catholic reform desire in EU4. Well run communist countries increase global socialist reform desire and make people more likely to become socialist. Starving Stalinist hellholes decrease it.

Some other interesting bits and pieces from the forum:Wiz posted:
Wiz posted:Norway starts as a subject (in a Personal Union under Sweden). Wiz posted:Finland is a a subject nation of Russia in 1836 in Victoria 3. Wiz posted:We try to make a historical judgment on how much autonomy different parts of empires had when deciding whether they should be an annexed incorporated, annexed unincorporated, or subject (of varying degrees of autonomy). For example we considered whether Poland should be a puppet instead of annexed territory, but their autonomy was basically entirely gone by 1836 so it didn't really make sense to us.

Wiz posted:Not my fault you guys aren't asking the important questions Politically inactive population is shown on one screenshot. What's that? Some interest group traits are greyed out. Why is that? What are some examples of IG traits? What are marginalised groups? The outliner mentions commanders, generals and admirals. How are armies and navies organised? How does the player interact with armies and navies?

Can you agitate revolutionaries in capitalist countries if you are running a successful communist society? There's several different models of communism/socialism simulated, worker-owned co-ops is good if you want high standard of living for the workers, state-owned factories is good if you want a more loyal elite to give some examples.

Pakled posted:I've got a question about characters: are they historical beyond the ones in-game at the start, or randomly generated? Will we see people who were born well after 1836 like Lenin and David Lloyd George? We're probably going to want to at least have some post-1836 historical personalities but I can't go into details on this yet.

So I was watching the Vickynomics panel, and I got thinking about the Opium Wars and the enforcement of access of markets in illicit goods. Any idea if drugs are going to be just a subsection of pharmaceuticals? I didn't play a lot of Vicky 2, how were the Opium Wars handled?

Vicky 3 probably ends around 1936. 9 years before the first nuclear weapon use. Depending on how the things go it's not outlandish to imagine people having nukes a decade earlier. Just pointing this out. Anyway do you people have any good documentaries or really atmospheric movies about the era?

Talking about nukes, its a shame the TNO mod is kinda stuck in HOI4 now, and can't return to its Victoria roots since this game would have been crazy good for it with the modern mod support and leaders being modeled with traits.

I'm mostly joking of course, but it's outlandish if you take 1936 as the point of divergence. But we start in 1836. What if we have earlier and bigger world wars? What if scientists are a little luckier and decision-makers are a little more desperate? It's not like I'm moving the schedule even a generation too early, it's just a decade.

It seems like you could reasonably start the game in 1825, which is about when the independence wars in Spanish America wound down. Did something special happen in 1836 for the sake of the game?
