I'd need to go dust off some copyright and/or trade mark case law but I think so long as Wiz didn't start selling lingerie he'd probably be fine. Since they are in completely different fields of business (software vs. clothing) you could probably successfully argue that there would be little overlap in consumers, little confusion of one for the other and that he's not using their fame or branding to sell a product without due compensation and credit. Now, whether he'd want to spend the time and money arguing that in court is another matter.

Purple is obviously Malaya, dark green is Kilwa, light green is some Nubian country? Lavender looks like Shu, white is a daimyo (Uesugi?), pink I want to say is Livonian Order but I'm probably wrong, and I have no idea what puke green or red are. How close am I?

Players at game end were Wu, Shu, Uesugi, Malaya, Bharat, Mewar, PLC, Kilwa. I think we started with twenty five?

I've been playing a lot of Vicky 2 lately (not sure why - just got the itch I guess), and man, while it's nice to play as Prussia and set up a huge front line across your entire border, actually controlling it all is a real pain. It's worse if you use mobilized troops just because of how much of a pain it is to get them all organized. What I'd love to see in Victoria 3, assuming they kept the same general style of units, is some kind of combination of EU4's army templates and HOI4's battle planner. Basically you could set up a template like 5 infantry/2 artillery/1 engineer/1 hussar/1 dragoon or something, then draw a front line and set that template on it. Then you'd just assign units to the front and they would automatically try to distribute themselves along the front line in the ratios defined in the template (if there aren't enough units to fill it perfectly, you could probably have a toggle on the front to tell it to either try to cover the entire front as best as possible, or match the template as best as possible). It would make mobilization so much less of a pain if you could have them arrange themselves evenly along the front, rather than just walking to the closest rally point to their home province. I'd also hope that the province shapes are a little less stupid in Victoria 3. There are some extremely annoying spots to try to cover just because of the nonsensical borders between zones.

I'd be happy with being able to build reserve units as essentially empty units, just piles of supplies and logistics with a minimal upkeep cost. When you mobilize these units gain strength.

Well you don't need to manually assign leaders ("to the right task", maybe, but 90% of the time your units aren't really that specialized so any generic general the game wants to dump on them is usually fine and if you have a really trash general you can just fire them to stop the game auto-assigning them), but yeah building/organizing units in Victoria 2 is a pain. When playing as a nation as big as Russia or China I never get anywhere close to my actual unit cap because gently caress trying to queue up and arrange 1000+ individual brigades of infantry or guards or artillery or whatever.

When you mobilize these units gain strength. Yeah this would be cool too. The ideal use of mobilization is to keep a standing army of support units like artillery, then fill out the armies with conscripts to give them a proper front line, but actually doing that is practice is such a pain that I often just don't bother and build a bunch of full-size standing armies.

The key is to build nothing but arty/recon and use the mobilized troops as your only/main source of infantry. They take the highest casualties anyways, don't want your main pops getting mowed down on the front lines.

For an AAR I've been doing, I modded in a civil war to my giant Vic2 blob (followed shortly by a great war with three alliance blocks each fighting both other blocks). I hadn't realized that when a country rebels (like with the ACW), units recruited from their territory would switch sides after a day. So my neatly-organized stacks became completely disorganized, while I was needing to do massive recruitment just to hold things together. I finally put together an excel spreadsheet to calculate what I needed to build and where it needed to go. If the dictates of writing a story around it hadn't made me play for only short stretches at a time (just a month or two), keeping the spreadsheet up to date would have done the same.

The best thing about Vicky2 is that which soldiers rebelled would have actually been based on their hometown or which issues they cared about. For such a terrible game, it really is the best.

I was surprised how much I liked Vicky 2 when I got properly into it but there's so many little things that drove me barmy and UI/automation features that were missing that seem baffling coming from "modern" paradox games. Also it tends to crash whenever something goes wrong with it rather than give you an error and keep going like EUIV/HOI, which made playing the mod a nightmare (I had to abandon it  )

But here your mobilized pops usually don't end up taking too many losses due to the fact you'll always have a crazy arty advantage that'll make most fights a complete blowout. Decision/click to build +1 fort/naval base/railroad nationwide when?

I still love Vicky 2 even though it's a janky mess compared to more modern Paradox games. The POP system makes it feel like your decisions are molding your country and affecting the lives of millions moreso than any other Paradox game.

Yeah, my main hope for a sequel is that they keep POPS measured in "real" numbers rather than abstracting it away. It's one of the main things I like about Victoria compared to other strategy games.
