warfare

[@kermitwow7]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING it has so much potential and all they need is for their dev team to have a hoi4 dev team glow up

[@No.00000]

As victoria 2 diehard i am very intrigued to hear your take

[@KaikeCGR]

16:14 The Paraguay war too, was all about a river warfare

[@Sylvia568]

Every time Ezekiel hearts one of my comments, i get a "badge", clearly this is something i must strive for, anyway victoria 3? More like spreadsheet 3K.

[@gandalf1139]

The last improvement (the one about money value through policies) is my favourite, though the warfare is more needed

[@dapperbunch5029]

Here’s how Victoria 3 can still win.

[@amerifatcheeseburger]

Its funny bc its still cope. Very accurate

[@330hhhh9]

these additions shouldn't be added. cause if they were, id have an autism overload and play it so obsessively I would never leave my house again

[@houseofbathos]

Make Victoria great again

[@kostakole9876]

They need to enable full control over military units (micro). You know, the exact war system from Vicky 2. Most of the people I've seen complaining about the war system cite exactly this as their main issue.

[@texanmadman6899]

Honestly even though Vicy2 will always hold a special place in my heart, all of these ideas sound great! I would love to see all of these in the Vicy3.

[@WorkersRepublicofparava]

Victoria 3 is a game that i have not played

[@rangergxi]

Got 6 clown emotes from writing a Steam review praising this game. Tough times.

[@CallMeEzekiel]

Here have a seventh 🤡

[@randelshurker8133]

The first suggestion wouldn't be implemented, because I suspect they really, really, don't want to have the game have to ask what is a real world discussion going on right now. That, and cuz Paradox has proven to be utterly incapable of not bungling a complicated mechanic like this. (I am looking at the Galactic Community and Espionage system in Stellaris while saying that.)

[@lolailo2199]

These are all great suggestions to be honest. Personally, i would also love a revamp of population growth and decline since it doesn't make sense right now

[@KaikeCGR]

The Chef himseft! The meal is cooked!

[@thatguythatmakestuff3994]

I did enjoy the video 😈 Im gonna strat playing vic 3

[@Silverchapp]

Oh shit he's talking about Victoria 3

[@SuperAussm]

Great ideas, too bad paradox clearly doesn't care and the game is in decline and Eu5 will take over and Vic 3 will be forgotten.

[@genew3452]

Hopefully the changes coming with 1.8 involving interest groups involvement in nationalist movements will model the ideas regarding cultural interest groups you are talking about in the first part of your video.

[@CallMeEzekiel]

It's only a partial implementation., Most of the problems described in the video will remain such as northerners supporting uniquely southern interests in the United States

[@walli6388]

I am surprised you didn't include any economy stuff.

[@PunishedBeerCanBennyIV]

Hope the devs see this vid, Vic 3 is pretty good but very lacking still. I have a personal belief that the best map game ever would have the map scale playthrough longevity and diplo of EU4, economy and politics of Vic 2, and warfare gameplay of Hoi4, and state splitting mechanic of Vic 3, with EU4 like start dates (that don't get abandoned each DLC) in 1832, 1854, 1898, somewhere post Treaty of Versailles, 1946, and 1960. Obviously just a pipe dream that would melt CPU's, but still, I would spend unhealthy amounts of time playing that

[@lxdnd]

Yep.

[@leominder4514]

Since when are you on Paradox‘s payroll, Ezekiel😂

[@WelcomeToDERPLAND]

Simple, make it an actual sequel to the actual best paradox game: Victoria 2

[@houseofbathos]

My problem with Vic3 is that it is a Keynesian wet dream simulator. It makes it so the public sector is more efficient than the private sector. IMO, there should be a dilemma for the player the whole game. If they want to expand the government aka the military so they can defeat their enemies and get more territory, they will need to extract resources from the private sector via taxation or inflation. This will give them them the advantage militarily as it gives them funding for troops, supplies, guns, artillery, etc. as well as funding military research, propaganda, and other government projects. The downside is that this hurts the population. The population growth will slow the more this is abused. Pops will be radicalized, support fringe interests groups, and revolt. Also less will be being built and less innovation by the private sector (which is wear the innovation and infrastructure come from). I really think this would be a great gameplay loop. A delicate balance the challenges the players and pushes them into difficult decisions. The current vic3 is a boring, hard to follow, aimless, map painting spreadsheet. I do love the look of the game tho

[@Johnyboi-fv7hl]

Victoria 3 is an ok game, it’s just not what the playerbase expected. It’s a spreadsheet simulator+ instead of a warfare simulator+ I wish it were a warfare sim+ tho cause this era is so interesting 😭 I haven’t even seen the video yet so I can’t comment on the actual content, just posting some complaints I had about the game. ALSO they said that the warfare would be “simpler”, as a casual I thought “ok cool, simpler combat = less meta bs” and it just turned into a confusing spaghetti code and a “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING” simulator 😭😭😭

[@alexmannen1991]

fix armies fix navies fix ui fix trade breaking game performance, stop making dlc for pajeets for dei scores, basically redo everything

[@jackmeoff6745]

Vicky 3 is still worse than vicky II (And domt forget its vicky 3 not III)

[@GoofyMode-n3m]

Cut the Paradox it's cleaner

[@CallMeEzekiel]

That's a good idea

[@eliambarmoshe2568]

they should compensate you for all this work. Furthermore, they should offer you a job!😅

[@supersotamies]

you should try out better politics mod for it makes interest groups and politics so much better.

[@schizokal9563]

Nah it's already over for victoria 3

[@Bulbs_Productions]

wdym its already better than vic 2

[@k_aesar]

​@@Bulbs_Productions Never has been

[@TexGaming]

CLASSIC CONTROLLABLE UNITS ON MAP. THE GAME IS A 0/10 UNTIL THAT HAPPENS.

[@adriantabares1494]

I'll be happy If they give us the ability to make our own fronts like hoi4

[@TexGaming]

@adriantabares1494 That would be nice but no. To me, if they don't make it clickable units I'm not playing it. It should be at the start of the game you have clickable on map units and then later on in the game as you advance in technology you get the HOI4 fronts style stuff (but you still get to see and click on the units!!)

[@Airsky-z5k]

Wait why is your vic 2 in russian

[@GermanempireYT]

WOW
