So I guess we can open a new thread for this.

More importantly: Victoria 4 when?

I like Martin's announcement. Basically it comes down to "We don't want to dumb anything down, and we promise we try not to fuck this up and try to live up to your expectations!" :D

I have confidence in Martin, even if I am not especially jazzed about Victoria 3. I look forward to it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Shape A Grand Tomorrow In Victoria 3
Published: May 21, 2021 7:00:00 PM GMT+0300

The railroad and the telegraph. Steamships and the birth of flight. Mass conscription, emancipation and the campaign for women's rights. The Victorian Age saw a world transformed by new technology, new philosophies and new ways of doing politics. This tumultuous century springs to new life in Victoria 3, a grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studio.

After years of community requests and curiosity about the future of one of the company's iconic games, Victoria 3 is instantly one of the most highly anticipated grand strategy games in Paradox's history. Victoria 3 is a society simulator set in a time of great change. Track the needs and desires of national populations, each group with its own political and material preferences. Conservative factions may resist political reform as growing numbers of tradespeople and intellectuals push for a greater say in how the nation is run. Trade a wide range of goods on a global scale to make sure that needs are met at home, because if people are hungry and disenfranchised, revolution beckons.

Victoria 3 will feature:

Deep Societal Simulation: Cultural, economic and ideological divisions compete for power and resources in one of Paradox's most detailed historical worlds.
Tend Your National Garden: Nurture your population, educating it and preparing it for the future, guaranteeing their prosperity and improving their happiness.
Wonders of the Industrial Age: Scientific and social progress give you the chance to improve the lives of your citizens.
Sophisticated Economic System: Import goods to keep costs low, export goods to enrich your citizens, and then tax that wealth to advance your plans.
Challenging Diplomacy: Maintain harmonious relations with your neighbors or provoke a crisis to grab valuable resources or force open new markets.
Political Dealmaking: Manage competing interests in your government, opening up new reforms but risking revolution if key voices are not heard.
Detailed and Living World: Cities grow and factories darken the landscape on a beautifully drawn map of the 19th century globe. Play any of dozens of nations from 1836 and try to claim your place in the sun.

Victoria 3 will be available on Steam, Microsoft Game Pass and the Paradox Store.

I hope they won't try to artificially make every playable nation equally viable or some such. As a minor nation the gameplay should be navigating among the great powers (and hopefully the game gives tools for that), not outproducing the UK economy or conquering the world as Bhutan. Maybe, if you create the right conditions, you could rise to become a major player a la Japan.

Martin says on the panel that the focus is on society management, and that their goal was that war shouldn't be the driving factor and not creating another map builder. That players should be able to play through 100 years without fighting a single war and still have a good time. Mikael says military will still be important, e.g. to help with diplomacy and a threat of war will be there, but anything you can get through war should be attainable through diplomacy.

Seems like a tall order considering the general Paradox fanbase, and I'm curious if they can pull it off.

Well, Victoria 2 has its own group of fans who probably want things like that.
