Not sure Prussia is a good newbie country, especially with your territory spread out and the incessant influence rivalry with Austria.

Im doing a playthrough as the frca, don't think I've seen any new content so far but I'm also not sure what new stuffs been added

Since I last played it he has added stuff like a debt system, cb changes, party compositions and modified the way that governments work to make them more distinct in what they can and can’t do. It sounds good in theory, at least.

There was this game that this reminds me of back in the day. Where you were a gangster mob family and you would slowly take over the town only played the demo but it was really fun. It has RTS sort of elements.

It had realtime combat and I remember it having a bitching multiplayer but this was before the internet got big so no one really played.

Anyone know what I'm referring to?

Edit: Never mind its called Gangsters, another posted referenced it!

I bought that when it was released and loved it, despite never really making any headway because I was young and stupid. But I remember the thrill of setting up ambushes and Molotov cocktails bombings.

I want a Paradox cold war game. Am I remembering correctly some crazy rear end modder starting a dev studio and working on something like that before PDX pulled the plug?

Think it was called East vs West or something but I don't remember why they cancelled it in the end.

I'll strongly recommend Christopher Clark's Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia, 1600–1947 for anyone interested in the history of Prussia. It also strongly argues against the idea of a simplistic Prussian legacy, centering on obedience and hierarchy, that formed the kernel of Nazi Germany.

It doesn't look good when Victoria 2 has almost twice the average players online on Steam than Imperator.

Being nostalgic for the mess that is Vicky 2 is really funny.

Sometimes you just need some years and people will change their opinions on their own. I assume the same will happen if they release a 4

I was nostalgic for V2 after putting around 160 hours into V3 and loaded it up just some days ago. Even with up-to-date mods that fix bugs, add flavor and balance the economy and politics, it’s still a lot of waiting and doing the same thing regardless of country (clergy to 2%, no taxes on upper classes, the fixed ratio of soldiers/artillery/hussars, etc etc). The there’s the event spam, the sphere and colonization whack-a-mole and a lot of other annoying things.

Like V2 is something special, despite all its flaws, and I’ve sunk so so many hours into it over the years. But there’s definitely a lot of nostalgia going on that skews the comparison between V2 and V3.

Someone remind me what time of day Paradox usually drop their patches on Steam, I can't remember the last time I was looking forward to a Paradox patch more than tomorrow's V3 patch

They wrote on Reddit that they will start streaming 15.30 CET and that the patch drops later than that.
