Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

Same. Wars are my least favorite part of GSGs and 4x games, so I'm excited to see you that doesn't focus on war at all.

Yeah I just took my time reading through most of it, it looks like it is true, and if it isn't then whoever wrote it should get a job at PDS because it really sounds like a fantastic game (assuming everything is balanced and working as intended).

Decoupling political and economic systems is going to own.

No more mandatory command economies with Communism. You can instead have all your factories be worker owned cooperatives instead and let them deal with it.

It's not no (wars are still a thing) but it looks like they are dempthsising war as a focus and more as "your mil power is good for bullying others, and you can actually use it at a pinch"

Wiz did say that you can achieve a lot of things normally achieved by war with diplomacy. War's still on the table for those that want it.

No armed conflict, as an option for how you play a campaign. Though the chat in the twitch stream really did hear it as "War is not a feature of the game".

Cultures thrive on their myths and legends...and snuggles!
If they don't manage to pull off "just managing your country will be fun, no wars required" with this one then I'm going to swear off Paradox games forever, I've got sick of the Paradox GSG formula of constant warfare being optimal every time.

Having Wiz at the helm does make it seem at least plausible but after Imperator (which conceptually seemed like an easy win) I'm not taking anything for granted.

Everything about this game sounds exactly like what I wanted Victoria 3 to be. Wiz you mad man you might have actually done it.

I still fear Paradox being Paradox but this is a heck of a good first impression.

Wiz is making Victoria III. It will have easter eggs and nods to hohenLP and azeriLP. There will be no anarcho-libs, and nothing will hurt and everything will be beautiful

There are no "uncolonized" provinces, but you can colonize on top of a Decentralized Country without declaring war.

Diplomatic Plays: Basically an evolution of the crisis system from Vicky 2. This is now the default way you try to get things from other countries who do not want to give them to you! I described it as almost like "Diplomatic Combat."

Three different Tech Trees: Production, Military, and Society. More like a traditional, branching 4X tech tree, not like the tech columns in Vicky 2. No split between techs and inventions. Seems like no more RNG for inventions other than that Tech Spread has some RNG involved.


yayyy

Enjoy

Loyalist POPs (and Radicals) can die off, which causes intergenerational conflict.

Not only did they make a new Victoria, but they didn't dumb it down or gameify it's simulation elements. In fact, it sounds like they have added depth to every system you would want.

God bless you Wiz.

That info dump reddit post has me excited. Vicky has always been the most conceptually interesting Paradox game to me, and POPs' standard of living has always been something I really hoped they'd focus on, and I'm ecstatic to see that it appears to be getting so much attention.
