I just sprayed water on my monitor because of the sudden laughter - this has happened to me too. My kid just turned 2 which is weird because each year of covid has felt like 10 but at the same time I cant believe he's already 2. It feels like we just learned about Vicky3 but now its going to be released this year? Whaaa?

Open on a red curtain. Text: "Paradox Interactive Proudly Presents It's Next Masterpiece". The curtain opens, revealing a troupe of actors performing Our American Cousin. It's Ford's Theater, 1865.

Lincoln sits in his balcony with Mrs. Lincoln. An advisor tries to get his input on Confederate holdouts in the State of Guyana, but Lincoln is too engrossed in the play for work. Then, his eye catches something - a reflection in a conveniently located grandfather clock. An intruder in the balcony. John Wilkes Booth pulls out his gun and fires. We follow the bullet in slow time as it slowly approaches Lincoln. But something's wrong here. The bullet stops in mid air. Abe smiles. Suddenly time reverses itself and the bullet travels backwards into Booth's gun. He can't believe it. "H-how is this possible?" he cries.

"Quickload," Abe quips, before dispatching John Wilkes Booth with kung fu. With a final roundhouse kick he knocks Booth out of the balcony onto the ground below, upon which the entire theater erupts in applause. President Lincoln turns back to the advisor he ignored before and asks him to come forward. He lays a paper map out and it's the map from the game. Then text on screen clarifies that this is actually a map game and there is no kung fu.

Ok, but now I want this instead of Vicky3.

I enjoyed reading the Brazil AAR that happened recently (compiled on reddit). I think it was interesting how much you get to nudge the political system through event choices. It makes the system for enacting laws described in the dev diaries -- table a law, RNG happens, law eventually passes -- a bit less dry and abstract.

whoa didn't expect to see Grão-Pará there, the Cabanagem together with the Farroupilha (the rebellion in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state) makes a Brazil start far more interesting

Ah yeah that’s the stuff there. A more dynamic map visually has been what I wanted from historical PDS games for a long time. It makes playing so much more rewarding, especially across multiple campaigns seeing places change in different ways.

Is it just me or do player objectives sound like a... win condition in a Paradox game? It sure will be nice to have the game tell me that there's absolutely no way I can lose now rather than just deciding "yeah this playthrough stopped being fun"

Being able to give the game a win condition and have it be somehow considered has been near the top of my PDS dream additions for awhile. Bonus points if it helps guide me along the way when I’m learning or spins up dynamic mission things that fit with my desired win con.

idk that that’s what this is and even if so it’ll probably be pretty limited out of the gate, but it being there would be awesome.

What would be really cool is to be able to set player objectives (or have them extensible so modders can make some) to things, like target a specific whacky achievement as your player objective, and then have the system capable of feeing you journal entries to help you towards that.
