Marx should be like Mohammed in CK2 and not actually depicted. It should just be a piece of Arabic calligraphy, preferably the Shahada.

Don't worry this is an essential part of the process, you just gotta wait 25-50 years to advance to the next step.

Marx only briefly had the Marxbeard and was more closely shaven for most of his life. His hygiene wasn’t good enough to call him clean shaven, but that was the style he was theoretically going towards most of his life.

I will admit that part of the reason I am so excited for Vicky 3 is the possibility of more megacampaigns. I've flirted with the idea of doing one myself (though that's unlikely), but at the very least, Vicky 3 means Roof of the World eventually in like a year after release probably.

the alt hist mods for vicky's series are great because they offer a lot more balancing and finetuning than i think the historical scenario does? if that makes sense lol

I feel Fraktur would be more appropriate. I'm sure you could make that look sufficiently graphical to not just look like another word too.

You mean the alt history is fiddled with to create more balanced/interesting scenarios/challenges across the world?

yeah, exactly! one of my hottest takes is bc paradox is pretty, uh, not great at depicting history, and also not great at balance, that they should look at focusing on alt hist scenarios/completely fictional ones, but otherwise use similar game themes - an early modern one, industrial one, medieval dynastic one, etc. etc., to be able to more easily create that balance and not worry about balance making historical outcomes unlikely or the like.

i know most people dont agree with me, so modders being able to do that is okay for now.

I think paradox would make a lot of money selling a DLC for V3 that lets you randomly generate alt-history starts as well as an easy to use scenario editor.

no, randomly generated scenarios that Paradox makes have not been good in the past. the new world generator for EU4, for example.

Their EU4 random nations setup isn't terrible, I'm not sure I would call it good and it used to be worse. Of course it still can't handle uncolonized provinces which are usually owned by a nation but has the no culture and no religion and you can't fix it without save file editing (or possibly with fiddly console commands) even after you take them over.

The new world generator also used to be worse, it's still bad but it's not horribly bad.

EU4 random nations (not RNW but the fill map with random countries) is also something I threw together in a single Friday back in 2015.

Honestly I feel like a randomizer for a game like Vicky 3 wouldn't be very good anyway just because there are so many different factors that need to be taken into account wrt distribution of resources to make the game interesting, especially if you're going full random and generating non-earth landmasses. Bespoke alt-history setups or custom original settings would probably be generally more interesting which is a level of effort that makes more sense to leave to the mod community.

no argument from me, I don't think there'd be as much financial success in a not-historically-centered victoria 3 so it just makes sense as something for modders
