QuoteAfter reading all the information available on this new game, I think I speak for many in the community when I express my concerns at how strong France appears.
Clearly, in the period of the game Russia were a potent force able to project power across the globe. However, it is also clear that in this period Denmark lost many of the vestiges of her empire, and was reduced to being a pawn between competing great powers.
In his seminal book 'The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers', Paul Kennedy provides amble evidence that the economic growth of the United States had propelled it to among the first tier nations by the late 19th century.
By making the Ukraine such a region of plenty, Paradox shows its clear euro-centrism.
Please Paradox, nerf Sweden.
Also, the forum is called "It's a Secret". Victoria's Secret?
I want a CK2 like character driven game about ancient Greece/Rome. :(
It's in the Steel Division Forum :huh:

A really good ancient game would also be my preference.
I really hope Victoria 3 isn't their next game. Ancients that isn't terrible would be really nice.
The timeframe for Victoria annoys me. 1815-1920 makes more sense than 1836-1920, and any expansions should push back the beginning rather than extending the end.
I don't think the WWI period even belongs on the end of Victoria. They've proven time and again that they can't handle all the mobile, quick wars of the period with the same system that they try to handle WWI.
Either they need to lop off the end of the period (maybe end at 1905? 1913?) or have the combat system change completely by the WWI era, because their current method of trying to tack it on near the end-game is atrocious.

If you're going to lop off WWI, you might as well make an age of imperialism themed game running from 1754-1898
:yeah:
Maybe Victoria extended back to cover the enlightenment too? Or at least the napoleonics.
That period doesn't quite work with EU.
Huh. It was originally in a separate forum, but is now in the Steel Division one. So apparently it referred to that game. :huh:
I would eventually like both an ancient game (with a CK2-style engine) and a Victoria 3 (with an EU4/HOI4-style engine).
I notice Victoria 2 is going cheap right now.
Another clue for Vic 3?
If it is a rehash of Vic II with an update then meh. But if theyvcreate a different method/engine then I would be a lot more interested. Probably option a if it is Vic III though.
You guys necroed a thread from a year ago to post...no new information.
The original forum thread linked was locked a long time ago. I don't think Paradox is all that interested in Victoria III any time soon.
Hell, judging by their "upcoming games" listings, they only seem interested in releasing new DLC. :mad:
It's the Mars game...
Victoria :bleeding:

Victoria II was fun, but I really don't get the excitement. The game and its predecessor are hopelessly broken because of Paradox's refusal to abstract certain systems.
I love Victoria.
The only problem with it is the 19th century world is quite limited in terms of diversity, there's only a handful of nations worth playing and most games are pretty similar with the uber UK being quite dominant.

At least they've confirmed they're working on something new.
That is good news :)
Hopefully it ends up better than Stellaris. :P

EU2 was released on December 11, 2001. People get older in 17 years.
Interesting, I like the Victoria games and it would be fun to see a next version. I like the economic, building aspect of the game the most.
What could be cooler than the industrial revolution? :hmm:
The agricultural revolution?
It's time they announced a new game instead of 1000000 DLCs. Stellaris/HOI4 will soon be 2 years old.

According to Wikipedia, he's 43.

More hair than the last time I saw him, since he had a shaved head, but grey now.

They should have a broader empire and industrialization game that begins in 1756 and runs through 1919.

Yeah, I'm not happy with that whole time passage thingy.

My last vic2 game the UK got smashed by a France-Russia coalition, had a revolution, went republican, pieces of the empire fell off or were taken.
I think like 80% of my games in Victoria I (never really got into Victoria II) were playing Prussia.
I loved playing Russia in the pop mod and seeing how long I could keep my authoritarian kingship in power.
