I mean, with the number of provinces they have, unless they have a frontline system like HOI4 then they are either going to have a nightmarish micro intensive combat system, or a completely different military setup from previous games. Like theaters that you pour resources, men, and officers into rather than directly controlled units.

no points for guessing which one ends up happening

This is sort of a minor thing admittedly but "unrecognized power" seems like a very inapt term for, say, the Qing Empire or Tokugawa-era Japan, which rather famously negotiated treaties with the European states. "Unrecognized power" seems like it should be reserved for organized governments that lacked international recognition (Confederate States, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, etc.) or various native societies that got bulldozed by the imperalists.

the game is currently hamstrung by a number of glaringly obvious day one issues that were somehow not uncovered over however many months of ostensible alpha and beta testing but are nonetheless capable of completely ruining games 30 or 40 years in. the economic model is cool but it is currently chained to the service of a deeply flawed military and geopolitical model that will take a long, long time to fix, if it's even possible to do so. there's also virtually no flavor outside a handful of countries.

in short, DAT'S PDOX BAY-BEE

as an aside, it's extremely wild/funny that we're coming up on three weeks post-release and they haven't fixed the turbo uber France thing

I like how one of the proposed oil fixes is buffing whaling stations. Sure, why not. Whale oil powered engines. Victoria 3 takes place in the Dishonored universe. gently caress it.

Yes, the cotton gin massively increased the power of the slaveocracy in the short and medium term

Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, aren't certain aspects of WWI, particularly countries such as the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, Rumania, America, etc. joining after the start date, kind of impossible under the current diplomatic rules?

Also, as a chaser before I start a new game, meet my bugged general. He's been "busy" for the last 40 years or so. He can't be mobilized, he can't be given orders, he can't be fired. And, apparently, it also made him immortal.

It's been almost a year and they still haven't fixed this? lmao
