You'll see...
There should be a system where if you empower hyper-nationalists in your country and rile them up enough they just give you free claims on every state that borders you, and that this can be repeated indefinitely until your country inevitably collapses from the fascist mess you've created.

So PCGamer apparently jumped an embargo this morning with a hands-on preview that they quickly pulled down. Overall it was very positive, with the writer being addicted throughout the 10 day window. Predictably, they noted some clunk and jank in the simulation but it sounds like it's an acceptable amount. And it revealed the release date. I'm reluctant to spread that around since lord knows the devs have been bit enough by leaks already. It is indeed this year, though.

If you’re not with us Fray, you’re against us.


But seriously though, that does sound nice that it had good first impressions by PCG. Ideally, I buy this game after its first big post launch “clean up” patch, but I’m so weak willed that if I see so much as one goon saying “oh wow this is great” on launch day I’ll likely buy it then and there.

Earlier this year I totally expected V3 to be pout by late 2023-early 2024 so Christmas came extremely early for me. Gonna be really shocked if late Oct is actually the release date :eyepop:

I wonder what the first popular workshop mod is gonna be.

No Division Limit has basically been enabled ever since I bought HOI4 at launch, ditto with Auto Survey in Stellaris.

Australian culture refers to eating a sausage on bread, drinking a Fosters VB XXXX Gold, taking off your thongs and chucking old mate into the pool :colbert:

(It's a bit weird to have a non-Indigenous "Australian" culture in 1836 but I guess it's necessary for assimilation to work?)

pony porn was here
A distinct Australian identity didn't emerge until the latter half of the game's timeframe so I guess cultures have to have a pre-defined homeland even if they aren't on the map yet?

e. fwiw "Aboriginal" as an identity didn't exist in 1836 either

typing up a 5 page complaint about calling the people of the Tarim basin "Uighurs" and ethnically distinct from "Uzbeks" in the 19th century as we speak

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
Huh I remember reading that the old Uighur Kingdoms were actually of a different ethnic group, but I didn’t know Uyghurs of today are related so directly to Uzbeks. Is there a book you’d recommend that goes into it?

For something they only added due to fan response, electoral/party nonsense seems really cool in V3. In a Siberia AAR in their discord recently there was a lot of drama about parties. IGs joining and leaving parties, parties dissolving entirely, unexpected parties winning due to infighting etc. Also stuff like IGs creating coalition parties just to pass certain laws and then dissolving afterwards. Also resulting in big consequences if you pass a law that's very controversial, in one case the Liberal party dissolved because they passed a whole lot of freedom related laws and lost a cohesive reason to stay together, and then dislike for those laws drove the Armed Forces, Industrial, and Landowners IGs to create an opposition party and win the next election (not putting them into power but drastically weakening the ruling IGs legitimacy since they weren't put in power). It's all very..parliamentary.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Eberron would be interesting since the politics are very Vicky in a lot of ways but the economy is entirely based on magical bullshit rather than industrial production

Lock a Paradox dev in a room with a copy of Master of the Senate until they come up with a mechanic where every US Senator is actually represented by a character in-game and there are mechanics to represent stuff like the seniority system, the filibuster, all that crap. Just make it completely dysfunctional and annoying to the player.
