Wiz posted:Not my fault you guys aren't asking the important questions in my hours of daydream-designing about a future Vicky 3, one thing i've always though would be neat is some way of competing for prestige by means of exploration/archaeological pillaging; so, say, you could sponsor expeditions to climb the highest mountains, reach the poles, explore 'darkest' Africa and the interior of the Amazon, exploit and steal the cultural memory of other nations to stock your museums. This would be more likely to be DLC fodder than base game stuff, but im curious if anything like that is intended for the release candidate

Randarkman posted:I'm not really a fan of the end date being as late as 1936 to be honest. The world before and after WW1 is just too different and the Victoria games were never good at actually simulating WW1 or its aftermath. Disagree. 1936 gives time for a great war or two + the ultimately disastrous outcome of whatever ludicrously punitive treaty you inflict.

Party politics is pretty enormously important in the history of this period, as the actual interface between social 'interest groups' and government policy. I'm not really worried that they'll do a better and more dynamic job of it than Vic2 does.

Dayton Sports Bar posted:I'm personally hoping they do something crazy with tech at some point. It's a little weird seeing all these radically redesigned systems and then a pretty generic looking tech tree, even if it's basically what we had in Vicky 2. They took tech teams out of hoi and replaced it with something worse. In terms of vicky the current one does look pretty systems-placeholdery to me but i guess we'll just see

Thanks for the Brazil tips i asked a few days ago. Wrapping up my playthrough now, it's been a fun ride. actually managed to lose the opening war against gran para cause I was stoned and forgot to assign a general to the front, but it doesn't really set you back. Slowly expanded for a while based on coffee and tobacco exports and lots and lots of ports, almost debt-spiraled into oblivion in the 1870s but Britain bailed me out, after which we were ride or die so far as I was concerned. I'd waited too long to switch from wood to modern construction methods; once I had room again for deficit spending it was off to the races and SoL began to rocket up, at least until unchecked immigration from filthy euros fleeing the war torn old countries began to reverse it. By the dawn of the 20th century we were booming all over the place, passing reforms left and right, and naturally humiliating and dominion-ing our unfortunate, destitute neighbors across South America. The rest of the world was interesting; Abraham Lincoln will be remembered as the President who presided over the peaceful end of slavery, and for America's calamitous defeat against the glorious Canada-Mexico axis and the loss of the west. France dominates the planet, with treaty ports across the oceans. It's currently 1914, Austria and Prussia are engaged in brutal trench warfare, with both nations having overthrown their incompetent pre-war regimes in the first few months before resuming hostilities under military dictators. Russia is allied with Austria and getting absolutely smashed. Brazil has at last surpassed the declining USA in global prestige, and begins to look outward...

how has people's experience with that anbeeld's AI mod been, anyway? I tried it briefly on a belgium playthrough and it seemed like europe was consumed by turmoil and revolt at an even faster rate than usual, but maybe it was just bad rng. it would be well worth it if nations were developing late game industries at least

HOI4s newspapers and focus trees really did a whole lot of storytelling love it, wish it was toned down a bit for the sake of my graphics card and cause you get some incredible urban sprawl that should feel rarer outside a few places by the end date
