Victoria 3

[garbon]

I'm confused on the map images they had for publication with the announcement. Map looks infinitely better in that art pdf.

[Syt]

Question is which one is more likely to end up in game. 

(Though Imperator has the prettiest map of their games IMHO)

[Syt]

Heh, found my old V1 flags in my old backup files. Such cringe.

[Valmy]

Marxist Texas made their star gold? Surely the Texas Proletariat would have made it red. Chairman Jim Hogg will direct the central committee to initiate world revolution against the Yankee Bourgeoisie.

[Syt]

I didn't think too hard about such things back then. There's a reason why the redesigned all flags for V2. And I understand V3 will have dynamic generation of ahistorical flags.

CK3-style 3D models for pops? OMG the skin colour & dressing style of culture debate is going to rage into eternity.

Imagine if actual fascists didn't post their stupidity on Steam forums

Is that the Steam message boards or Paradox forums?

[Barrister]

I'm open to the argument that Paradox is being too-PC and as a result ahistoric.

But when their opening suggestion is that Europeans should have faster research times because of their higher IQ levels...

[Tamas]

Looks like Steam and hopefully a troll, although Steam forums are a cesspool.

I've been reading up on this game. I really like Vicky games but Vicky 2 was tricky with the diplomacy stuff on the screens where you applied influence to try and control provinces. I didn't like that, had a hard time working it sometimes. 

[Syt]

Yeah, that was my biggest gripe with V2's concepts and UI - the tedious diplomacy management as a great power, a constant whack-a-mole in competing with other powers for influence and endless "improve relations"/"discredit other power". Having it on a separate screen didn't help, either. I look forward to seeing how they'll improve on it.
