Vicky II was so beautiful it hurt. But there wasn't a lot of game happening -- the addition of crises in one of the expansions helped somewhat with this. And what about those newspapers, why did SimCity 2000 do a better job with that?

The newspapers could have been amazing if someone tried to mod them somehow. Would have been neat to include little snips from old newspapers from the time in it... like something from the London times talking about how queen victoria was going to have tea with the Kaiser that morning or whatever.

Me, two minutes into my first game of V2 after they added newspapers: "wow, this is so cool, I'm going to read all of these!" Me, twenty minutes later: lol nope

I bought Imperialism 1 & 2 from GOG recently and quite enjoyed them, but there's a lot of 90s game design in them, meaning plenty of busy work that really could be automated. A new version would be fantastic.

Yeah, like, when you play optimally using trade, it takes a lot of work between turns, but otherwise the game has not a lot of micro just due to the way production works. Everything's on one screen, clean, and the rest is just connecting it to your capital.

Yeah Victoria II's economy doing things like crashing the world economy because of butterflies from some random French dude who bought too much bread or whatever makes it the most realistic economic simulation I have ever seen. Economics is a made up science that nobody really understands, and the entire world financial system is a whirling cloud of perfect chaos. The one thing that could use a rework is where money comes from and how it gets destroyed/poofed into the ether, but otherwise it's pretty drat awesome.

How much do they totally throw out and start from scratch with? How many people will have their ability to feel human torn from them? Ditto Rome.

Wasn’t the Vicky 2 economy designed by an anarcho-capitalist or somesuch? Because if so oh my god did his work betray his own ideology
