What if some designer decided to go all-in on the ship designer as the main focus of the game, and made a game all about designing spaceships? The combat, economy, etc, stuff is all abstracted, and your score depends entirely on the ship designs your shipyard comes up with! Design ships, send them off, get rewarded for better designs that perform better and get access to stronger weapons and bigger hulls!!

There's Starship Corporation which sounds like almost exactly that, but reviews are mixed and I've not played it myself.

But yes, a well-done Rule the Stars could be neat.

To make things right those ship designer game need a bad unbalanced empire management mini-game attached to them.

The strategic layer of Rule the Waves is actually quite decent, from what I recall. And it fits kinda well with Vicky 3's emphasis on strategic over operational warfare.

I remember when the leak occurred, there was some discussion about paradox streaming this pretty soon. Can’t recall the context of that / where I saw it. Has there been anymore word about that?

Or maybe I imagined it!

You may be thinking of Wiz’s AAR, which was via discord posts rather than streaming. That did happen though.

I'm a cajun and seeing this led me to go look and see if the french canadians actually dabble in gumbo, and of course, Gumbo Poutine was one of the first things to come up.

IIRC "Acquire substate region" is specifically for territory controlled by an autonomous substate of the country you're declaring against. For example, if you want to take territory from Guanxi, you'd use "Acquire substate region" against China, their overlord. "Demand concession" is used against sovereign countries for territories they control directly. In other words, those two CBs don't overlap in regards to the lands they let you take.

Hell yeah this sounds awesome. in vicky 2 one of my favorite games is playing as multicultural communist usa and taking over the western hemisphere. I always loved seeing how immigration and assimilation (two bizarre unknowable mechanics imo) would shape the demographics in my country, with some places being totally assimilated, some places being 30% primary culture, and some places not assimilating at all. Man I'm so excited for this game! Hope it's good!

Ah yes, Nova Scotia. One of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. One of the three Maritime provinces and one of the four Atlantic provinces.

We have dismissed that claim.

Getting Nova Scotia's borders right isn't exact rocket appliances! Even through pure denial and error you guys will get it right eventually and your map will pass with flying carpets.
