I wonder if nations will have stuff to differentiate them from each other like national ideas in Europa.

Nobody did.

I tried yesterday after the announcement and could not get a factory going until I switched to socialist and built it myself. Also kept playing around with the budget sliders every five seconds to try and get an economy under control.

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

This brings up the possibility if you manage to make a super africna nation of going to pillage European artifcats to put in your museum.

I know Paradox has the Vampire the Masquerade license. There was a Victorian sourcebook for Vampire and they're coming out with Victorian: Mage soon!

Any Steampunk expansion should be a straight up Technocracy playthrough. Sons of Ether style!

They couldn't be assed to do that for Crusader Kings themselves and let it be a mod.

I'm sad because I have like literally five years of Videogame QA game tester experience at one of the big Montreal game testing outsourcing places and I've never been tapped to test any of the games.

We might have worked at the same place lol. I was working at Babel for (non-consecutive) five years.

Looks like Civil War style secession wars are going to be well supported by game mechanics. Looking forward to games where the Confederacy wins, but becomes a British (or some other Great Power's) subject.

Hoping for some Taiping fun.

Today I've tried to get into Imperator Rome again and that UI is so clumsy and irrigating after Stellaris and EU4, not to mention CK3. Like you open army screen and try to disband it the button is there but it's disabled. Tooltip says use military screen to disband levies, and there the button is disabled too and the tooltip says you can't disable a levy during the war. You are constantly asked to do something for a character (scorned family modifier, senate agenda or events do that), usually give them office, and it means you have to remember the name of the character and to find him on the specific office selection character screen. CK3 and even CK2 had put those characters on top of the list.

In many ways EU4 is even worse but I'm used to it. Glad to hear Victoria 3 UI is smooth, looking forward to it.

I like Imperator and feel like it would be amazing if it got one or two more big patches. :smith:

Although to really fit that world it would need to eb a weird Imperator/EU4/Victoria3 hybrid.

I get people are excited to play but my personal values are that EA is a marketing strategy for smaller developers that might not have the funds to finish it. It doesn't have a good purpose for established products as the main draw of it is that you get two "releases" which is great from a press perspective for the company.

A larger developer doing that is just making the meme "Paradox releases unfinished stuff" into reality.

E: Good purpose for larger studios here I mean in a consumer friendly purpose. Of course there's plenty reason why a company would want your money without delivering something.

Yeah there's a lot of good reasons why it ain't happening, but a man can dream...

av/post combo

eh, pdx did support it for 2 years despite it being genuinely awful and bad on release. i remember johan really emphasized not understanding whty it wasnt good at first, talking about how it was the EU: Rome codebase and everything, which just.. i dunno. betrayed a lot about the design and support perspective they had.

giving it 2 years and never really recovering player numbers is pretty fair overall.

But by the end it was getting really good!

I'm a cajun and seeing this led me to go look and see if the french canadians actually dabble in gumbo, and of course, Gumbo Poutine was one of the first things to come up.

I've never seen that in Montreal, but I instantly belive it exists.

I'm sure there's some overlap between Qu�bec and Cajun cuisine, but I'm not sure what.

Didn't the scandal about Nazis in government lead to most of the Nazis getting purged in West Germany, while the same thing not happening in East Germany lead to them staying on? I.E. the reason why far-right parties do better in former East Germany than in West Germany today.

No. They stayed and got protected. Some even led NATO for a while.
