This game has a wonderful foundation and even if Paradox never fix it (which they will, albeit by breaking it in new and exciting ways as they go on) mods will give people the experiences they want.

Star posted:New patch dropped https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/patch-notes-for-1-0-6.1557300/ Good so far. Slightly irritated that a lot of the overflows aren't fixed, but at least some mods help with that (which makes the lack of a fix kind of silly?) The game definitely has more geopolitics when the AI is sharper. Running the Improved Automation mod helps a lot, and I've had France and Great Britain hit well over 6000 prestige, and be able to compete decently well on the world stage. Unfortunately for them, I was playing as China and kind of just rolled over the entire world because my technology had caught up to their and I outnumbered them by a factor of 10 and had virtually infinite manpower to throw into any war. But when the AI is on your level, they do interfere in your bullshit on the world stage. And similarly, you can interfere in their bullshit. Once we can tell the AI what would sway us into helping them out (give me a wargoal on GB to give me a treaty port or open their market or humiliate them, or whatever), then we can do the same sort of poo poo they do and snipe at each other around the world.

I‘ve not tried this but I assume most of the recommended mods to fix issues disable achievements, which are important for me.

I'm also in the "wow this actually sucks" camp now. I wish all countries didn't feel the same. This game feels like one of those system toys like Democracy where it's like "wow what a cool system" but once the novelty wears off, you realise you wasted your money. I wanted to like it - I even liked the abstracted wars - but I'm not getting that experience of feeling like I'm playing a country at all. Really rather soured on it, and not because of the bugs.

I wanted to like it - I even liked the abstracted wars - but I'm not getting that experience of feeling like I'm playing a country at all. I really think that this is just down to the game being so incredibly hosed by bugs and poor AI. On a related note; new huge bug that just got "discovered" today (although I think people felt that something was def wrong here) - tons of the game setup scripting doesn't do anything at all, possibly because it tries to run at a point when the game isn't fully ready to go yet. There's a bunch of flags which are supposed to change the starting literacy and SOL of pops and none of them do anything so the only thing which impact on these is the starting occupation for each pop. This is apparently fixable by taking the contents of the entire history/population folder, pasting it into a single event and then manually firing it after the game has started Edit: There's speculation that this might actually be working to some degree but it still seems like there must be some reason why isolated African tribes have the same starting literacy as most of Italy and this seems like a plausible cause RabidWeasel fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Nov 14, 2022 |

I played Victoria Revolutions and this is the content that takes me back to tophats building silly factroys. I'm glad Paradox is keeping the experience alive in the spirit of its origins  (For real, given how many moving parts this has interacting with one another and the challenge its systems offer, it's still a good release given the company and in particular this series)

game is good, definitely not gonna be everyone's cup of tea even leaving out the release issues. aside from bug fixes imo the game just needs more flavor. US has a lot of journal entries, they should try to get some in for other important countries. the feeling when your gdp expands enough that you no longer run a deficit with construction >>>>> sex

it's when ur deficit goes down to like -500 the byou build a new factory and the new taxes make it positive I'm fully in deficit spending gang but I gotta reduce my outstanding credit a bit. My plan is that steel frame buildings are much easier to scale than iron so I'm gonna wait for that before I drop construction sectors in every state

I'm gonna be in the camp that people should wait a couple of months before getting this. It's fine but they need to fix the bugs and change up some systems.

They should probably get over it. Victoria barely exists in the other games lol, she shows up in one event and then the British monarch is never mentioned again.

Cpt_Obvious posted:How bad are the glitches? Playable but save regularly? It's mostly stuff you can't save/load around, like political parties getting so powerful they will themselves out of existence. The game is very playable up to endgame but has a large number of small annoyances that add up, chief among them being the endgame slowdown.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:The latest patch was meant to address the endgame slowdown though. How successful has it been? Pretty successful so far. It still exists (but am running on a save from a previous verison with rapid assimilation so its hard to say for a fully fresh save) but is very notably better. It's more comparable now to your average late game pdox slowdown instead of "melt your cpu a month in realtime" that it was before.

I've been reading all the patch notes but don't see anything about fixing the AI to like... actually build stuff and grow their economy? We still getting empty gold mines and oil wells into the late game? Still getting global rubber shortages while vast tropical reserves go untapped even by vassals within your own market?

We still getting empty gold mines and oil wells into the late game? Still getting global rubber shortages while vast tropical reserves go untapped even by vassals within your own market? Decision-control for an economy can be one hell of a computational job tbqf Going by what has been posted before, it seems that the AI isn't accounting for possible future demand for reasons, which can be a serious clusterfuck depending on the details of how it is programmed currently - it's important to not only get them to build the things but also be good enough in terms of performance. One reason to not have stockpiles (even if that doesn't make much real world sense) is that the game would have another variable that can be incredibly demanding in future demand calculation (on that note: V3 proves a sentiment that I had back in uni: econometrics classes would have been so much better if we did economic planning exercises instead of MMT and macroeconomic textbookery lmao)
