Vicky 2 is 1836 to 1936. Vicky 3 will probably be similar.

Podcasts are basically books, so just listen to the Revolution Podcast episodes from the sixth chapter about the July Revolution onwards.

I like having specific party names so I like parties but I do think interest groups are more interesting, so as long as interest groups aren't depreciated for parties I am fine. Plus you might be able to get things like an interest group jumping ship from backing one party to backing another party, which would be interesting emergent storytelling.

I demand all games set before 2015 or so have a 'persecute the gays' button that gives you penalties if you don't press it every so often because everyone thinks you're gay. It's historical and it is more important than money or technological advancement to some people.

No, actually, making someone buy a game where you're forced onto a linear path and then getting mad at them for playing that linear path is bad.

I cannot wait for a bug in which West Virginia and/or Virginia ends up with too much or too little population and it seems like people either cloned themselves or disappeared. Or maybe WV will secede from Virginia will literally no people in it.

It's realistic that capitalist pops or local communes might control more infrastructure or buildings than the local government, but in practical terms it means that the player's primary form of interacting with something that is 'absolutely core' and 'a major part of the game's core loop' is staring at the screen and hoping the AI doesn't screw you over. It's realistic but not all that fun.

AnEdgelord posted:But see thats not realistic either, states weren't just helpless as capitalists kept building failed clipper factories regardless of how capitalist they were. Things like subsidies to encourage the production of certain goods as well as government contracts for private companies to build infrastructure are real things that are used to this day and could easily appear in this game, and its not like capitalist states never nationalized anything ever. I should be able to build factories and infrastructure as the state but so long as I'm not a command economy the private sector should be ticking away in the background doing its thing, but if a factory or piece of infrastructure is in the way or inconvenient I should be able to purchase it and demolish it via eminent domain (another good tool to potentially add) or nationalize it and demolish it. Yeah, that just sounds like the current system with extra steps.

The first time I read that, I completely skimmed over the fact it was about mods, and I just assumed Cthulhu stuff was in the base game. "Yeah, that sounds about right." I thought.

Arrath posted:Waiting for the modern day mod to have inventions like smartphones and social media that increase the politically inactive cohort cause they're content enough with tentacle porn readily available. Yes, because when I think of the impact of Smartpones and Social Media on the political world, I definitely think of it making people less political. ...Unless that was  and I just missed it.

I imagine the leaders of interest groups will be a preview of 'this is who the president/prime minister will be in a democracy if this interest group wins' or 'this is who the head of state will be if this interest group leads a successful revolt', primarily, and since leaders are modeled, it makes some sense to model potential leaders. But yes I do enjoy the little people.

Wow, I never thought they'd actually do it. Color me skeptical, and I did enjoy moving units around in other Paradox games (though not Vicky 2), but if they could pull it off, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I'm still not convinced about the fronts system but the generals sound like everything I had hoped for. Sure, you could get rid of that useless idiot, but then you've pissed off his friends and family in the Annoying Idiots interest group, and they have power to make things more difficult for you. Sure, you could promote that skilled, charismatic general, but he's from the Slaveholding Jerks interest group and if you promote him you'll make freeing the slaves, whether through peaceful reforms or violent revolution, more difficult. Is good.

Fray posted:I'd like to see your industries play a supplementary role in producing Innovation for relevant techs, since being engaged in a certain economic area would naturally motivate further improvements. For example, a strong mining industry would give a bit extra Innovation when researching mining techs. You could even tie in production methods, so that highly advanced buildings with lots of engineer workers are more innovative. That would make it feel more like your technological advance is a product of how you build your society. You gain bonuses for certain types of tech if certain interest groups are happy so there is at least some of that in there.
