I recall late game wars being really stupid and tedious but I remember naval warfare being fun if you were able to build out a fleet a bit; also the supply chain stuff kinda felt like a more strategic version of Knights and Merchants, which was cool.

I'm really looking forward to attempting an anarchism myself.

I think from what we've heard of Vic3 it's Paradox's most anarchist-friendly game yet. It's kind of funny that Paradox has had rebels flying that red and black anarchist flag in all their games, whether it historically makes sense or not, making anarchists 'those annoying people who are getting in the way'.

I'm glad they're finally considering how to let you lean into and explore anarchism in an era where it was something a lot of people were actually trying to do. In contrast to Victoria 2 and it's dumbass nonsense anarcho-liberals.

Fake edit: I forgot HoI4 came up with a whole system for the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War that seems pretty novel and fleshed out, but as someone who's more interested in the social and economic implications of anarchism, rather than the military implications, Vic3 is still going to be a novel Paradox experience.

As a kid I got one of those collection box sets of 20 SSI games and they've sorta congealed in my memory as a single game. I'm worried that if I try to go back to any of them I'm just going to be mad that it doesn't live up to my memory.

That said, I did go back to Panzer General and it still somehow holds up.

Sword of Aragon... I think it may have only been good in my dumb kid-brain.

one of the things Imperialism did super well that I'm hoping Vicky 3 can recapture is make it feel like your society is just fundamentally different as the game goes on. at first you're really scraping by, minimal urbanization or anyhthing, and then by midgame you have these sprawling cities hooked up to complicated agricultural systems, and by end game you're fighting industrial wars in what feels like a natural evolution.

Apropos of nothing, I hope they fix the "put electricity in boats and ship it overseas" thing for release. It was mentioned as still being a thing in the Canada AAR, but that was a while ago.

I feel like it should be fixed simply due to there needing to be an export ban option, which would obviously always be in effect for electricity.

There’s Starcom Nexus if you’re keen on getting more of that sort of thing. I just beat it, it’s short but a pretty good starflight/ star control clone.

Did they break the content embargo on v3 all of the sudden? I'm seeing a lot of V3 footage that doesn't look like it came from the leaked build.
