A fantasy GSG seems like the most logical thing to do and it's what I'm hoping for the most.

A fantasy GSG is coming, but not yet. We know it's coming, because are hiring artists for it. We know it's not coming yet, because they only started hiring for it pretty recently.

I loved Vicky 1 and 2, but I hope they extend the timeline to encompass more of the Industrial Revolution. At least from 1815-1920 (1792-1920) would be better.

I think there are very good reasons to start in the 1830's. Notably, to get a South America that somewhat resembles history. I do think that starting a bit earlier in the 1830's can be made to work, even if that makes Belgium a problem. I would really like being able to start during the polish revolt, but I can see why that would be a bit too early.

It's going to be Victoria: iOS, tap rapidly to build factories faster than France so you can arm enough soldier pops to win the war for unification.

Also, even if it is, I feel like you could push the date back quite a bit and still end up in largely the same place? The ball was already rolling nearly three decades before the Vicky 2 start, it'd be perfectly fine to set up Spain's South American possessions as unhappy satellites, and make attempts at independence snowball.

I already talked about why I would love if its Vicky 3 earlier in the thread but another reason I really hope that it is is because I can finally play the USA in a pdx game without either having to gently caress around with start dates/found it 300 years early (EU4) or when its already a world bestriding behemoth (HOI4).

Well, if they're actually making Victoria 3, it's a good move. I'll almost certainly buy it as long as it's not an utter shitshow.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
I bet the game is going to be something that's paint the map that people try to hype up as something more nuanced and country-simmy.

my one hope for vicky three is fixed pop wages that aren't a percentage of profits. also world trade that doesnt depend on ranking. and real embargoes. actually i have a lot of hopes but the wage one is the biggest one

I would like to see radical rethinking of quite a lot of Vicky, but the pops are #1. They're super complicated and fiddly but not really interesting.

My Vicky3 wishlist is that they take inspiration from and evolve EUIV's trading mechanics. That's honestly the most interesting set of mechanics out of all the Paradox games to me and it's driven way more playthroughs for me than other games. Plus it'd be in the perfect place to prototype a trade system for EUV.

WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!

It's going to be "Disappointing Videogame Conference Simulator," and it's just a pinwheel of all the lovely excuses developers give for why they don't make something that is widely demanded.

"The fans didn't show enough support"
"Don't you all have cell phones?"
"The market has pivoted to [oversaturated genre]"
"You think you want it, but you don't"
etc.
