It seems like you could reasonably start the game in 1825, which is about when the independence wars in Spanish America wound down. Did something special happen in 1836 for the sake of the game?

One of the Vicky 1 mods (I think) had a mechanic where if you consistently made decisions favoring the slaveholders, New England would secede without a war. Maybe they could develop something like that into a more interesting alternate conflict.

Raenir Salazar posted:I'm with Edgelord, there should be some degree of "capitalists/local communes/local government" doing stuff on its own. It seems to me that the new system as described for V3 removes the jagged edges that made that system screw you over more. If there's no slots than it doesnt matter if capitalists build the wrong thing, if you want to use the common fund to build some things specifically you can; but they can also do stuff on their own? That seems reasonable to me. By all means the game should have business cycles, speculative bubbles, and a finance sector outside of player control. But in Vicky 2, what we got was capitalists builds a worthless factroy, again and again. If I'm not mistaken, that takes up a factory slot for the state which could be really frustrating. e: I replied to an old post, this is covered already

https://twitter.com/Martin_Anward/status/1415310115842842629 It looks like more advanced production methods lead to more demand for various commodities, which seems like it'll encourage economic integration. Hope supply isn't all or nothing like in Vicky II though, where factories go offline entirely due to world market shenanigans.

TwoQuestions posted:I can't remember if I asked this already, sorry if I did, but will Victoria 3 have a National Focus/Mission Tree system, or has that been revealed yet? Some incredible things were done with HOI4's National Focus system, and I can't wait to bring those old History Channel shows about Rockefeller and Jay Gould into the game. It hasn't been revealed yet but I don't see how they could leave out some kind of national focus or mission system. The HOI4 implementation is too short term and on rails to work for Victoria without some adaptation, but it's great for giving flavor and direction to countries -- at least those that have interesting focus trees.

I do like the way Paradox games have sometimes tried to express unreliable information: "We know they have 2 carriers, and we guess they have 4 battleships..." But it's hard to see how this could work for all kinds of intel reports.

Fray posted:Ed: Also, multi-sided revolutions are not in right now, but maybe later. The problem is that Revolutions use the Diplomatic Plays system, and Diplo Plays fundamentally involve two sides. HOI4: La Resistance has the Spanish Civil War depicted as a 4-way melee where each side is at war with the other 3. It's a cool idea but it doesn't really work well in practice, not least because it's very difficult to balance and it keeps getting broken with patches.

When it comes to historical conflicts like the War of the Triple Alliance (Paraguay vs. everyone) or what-ifs like the Fashoda Incident (French vs. British showdown in Sudan) I am sure we're not getting a lot of specific custom content, so I really hope the generic war system is nice and fleshed out.

StashAugustine posted:My big complaint with the V2 civil war is that the Union effortlessly crushes it because you don't get saddled with incompetent leadership in the east for the first two or three years I seem to recall that if you didn't recruit any Dixie divisions the war would be over in a month. Even if you play it sort of historically the South will never last 4 years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roN3I3Je8VY 1836: Andrew Jackson kicks the Democrats out of power and brings in the Whigs 1837: USA bans slavery. No civil war I think the economy side of things is fine and can be polished up, but the political mechanics are completely unfinished. I hadn't made the mistake of pre-ordering a Paradox game since Stellaris, which is giving me a pretty lousy record on buying good games.

Green Wing posted: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. It isn't as bad as Stellaris was at launch, but I don't see it becoming a legitimately compelling game without quite a lot more time and energy put into development. All I do is click economy buttons and it's the same for every country.

I played a full campaign with France with 1.2, my first long game of V3. 1.2 is a substantial improvement, but still not a very good game. The political system is the best part of the game. As seen in this thread, it creates weird unexpected circumstances though it can usually be pushed in the right direction. In my game I passed Secret Police and then there was a furious rebel movement to restore Universal Suffrage. But when I tried to restore it a bunch of other factions tried to start a revolution to restore Secret Police. Both of these revolutions would have taken 75% of my states for obscure reasons, so I had to just let one of them launch a revolution and switch sides. I switched to the French Liberal Revolt, consisting of the communists and fascists, and quickly overran the rump state. I was hoping this would let me switch to a communist government and economy but this was in 1935 so a little too late for that. A lot of this makes no sense but it was pretty entertaining so I really can't complain. The economy seems to work as advertised, if a little blandly. As far as I can tell you win by making industrial goods cheap, though this can be hard in the late game because of limitations on iron, coal, and especially wood. I really like the automatic investment for a big country and I would never have made it through the campaign without going Laissez Faire and letting the capitalists build whatever they want. But it seems like setting my buildings to Publicly Traded had no downsides. Shouldn't there be firms competing with each other, business cycles, and the like? I know Vicky 2 had a totally inscrutable economy but this is a big swing in the other direction. But the really bad parts are warfare and diplomacy. You know the complaints I have here, but in particular the return to EU3-style badboy (infamy) is completely stupid. Around 1900 I switched to total war, invaded all my neighbors, and got my infamy to 1000. The only response was UK declaring to cut me down to size and I beat them with simultaneous naval invasions. Warfare and diplomacy are both so unsatisfying that I can't see playing this more until they get a full resdesign.

Eiba posted:While there are definitely issues with warfare and diplomacy, I don't know that this is one. If you start as the #2 power in the world and build up for 64 years well, what do you expect besides a cakewalk when you decide to invade the world? Not really sure what you wanted the game to do at that point. Play on military easy mode and the military game is going to be easy. I mean a player going ham in late game isn't the main thing the game should be designed around but I expect if I am eating Europe country by country* it would make sense for other countries to try to stop me together instead of fighting individually while the others stand around, like a bad martial arts movie. If the developers simply copied coalitions from EU4 it would be considerably better than infamy as currently implemented. *I was able to integrate European Heritage states in 5 years and multiculturalism seems to turn off any kind of nationalism

Can Qing win the Opium Wars in 1.2? UK doesn't take long to demand a treaty port and I wasn't able to get any good allies before that. China has a lot of barracks but no arms industry and the only hope of winning the war seems to be equipping the army with line infantry and cannon.
