Very excited for this. I really, really hope they go back to using actual music from the era like in V1. That added so much atmosphere that was lacking in the second.

Also a way to subsidize/incentivize factories you want built when you're not going full command economy would be nice.

they were just public domain recordings. i actually found one of the same albums they used at the library once.

i think a lot of the vicky/eu2 era music was just public domain stuff. which means there is no excuse for any game to not have falalan by the uppsala joculatores in them

If they improve the battle AI a bit it'd be amazing in Vicky if you couldn't directly control your troops, only give general orders. I wanna feel like Lincoln cycling through AotP generals or sack Field Marshal after Field Marshal as the years of static front drag on.

If they can do things that if you fire mcclellan his faction says gently caress it and tries to overthrow your current government that would be great

The two big differences between US puppet regimes and European Colonial holdings would be:

1. Despite everything the US puppet regimes would have significantly more autonomy (so long as it doesn't interfere with US interests).
2. There is a plausible deniability in the US relationship to its puppet regimes that doesnt exist in the European Colonial context. In game this would probably mean that it would generate less Infamy/Aggressive expansion to establish them. You could even have them engage in proxy wars on your behalf but that might be asking a bit much right off the bat.

i hope there is a way that you can use the gps money to fight them agains each other, like mexico promising massive access to the americans in order to be able to cancel the debt and kickout the continentals

(then not following through/collapsing and having veracruz seized again)

It sounds like being a subject is a much, much better deal than in V2. Which is great, there's a lot of starts/countries that are made a lot more playable/fun this way.

if this really does well you should be able to naturally have things like 48 where hungary just starts invading all the other austrian client states, pissing them off and allowing austria to use them to clamp the whole thing down

I think a way to achieve a versailles style ending to a great war would be to, once a threshold is reached, have is be event driven based on the end of the war. Kind of like the first phase of the play, but at the end with the victors adding and negotiating demands. Some ricky mod did that and it was fun.

Something like this would be cool to see, however I feel like it might be a lot to ask of the art team. Unless they designed a handful of assets to represent certain groups, which would simply appear on the map as you gained territory in that region, I don't see how they could reasonably implement that feature. The racial and ethnic caricatures would also inevitably land the entire team in hot water and that wouldn't be worth it imo.

Just use the leader pics from V1! Then everyone is happy.
