I really dislike this false narrative that's been spreading around by fanboys to try and cope with the fact that recent releases have been garbage. Victoria 2 was a straight improvement over Victoria 1, did it get better ? Yes but Victoria 3 is nowhere near as good. Same with vanilla CK2 being better in every way to CK1 and yet, 3 years after it came out CK3 still doesn't have as much content as CK2 and what's there is so bare bones it's infuriating.

I feel weird about Vicky 3. I haven't bought it because it still doesn't look better than modded Vicky 2 but I want it to succeed long enough that maybe by next year it will be good enough. The ominous thing is that I had the same feeling about Imperator.

[@itzgladgatorgonegladitzmad9701]

It has a larger player base than Imperator and has been improving since release. The players have even said that Victoria 3 is improving and is becoming more enjoyable. The last big areas to fix are trade, the military system, and adding the spheres of influence mechanic that has already been shown off and is being developed. Given a year or 2 I don’t doubt Victoria 3 could become a very good game.

[@barca227bc3]

I still play imperator. I love the time period.

[@SMGJohn]

@@itzgladgatorgonegladitzmad9701 Victoria 2 has twice the amount of players than Imperator does, its not much of a figure to go by, Vicky 3 is one of the worst releases in recent memory, it cost quite a penny to develop and has been in development for many years, Imperator was a mere drop in the ocean by comparison. PDX literally lost millions from their botched Vic3 release and huge parts of that was the change in Corporate pushed by the shareholders, almost all the guys who made Vicy2 left PDX and went doing something better in their life, because working at PDX was becoming impossible, the upper echelons just want to listen to their own opinion and they are world masters of everything, well we see people who think they know it all fail over and over again, its pathetic. Vicy3 is gonna perish, its just a matter of time, no amount of DLC's can save that game. The only reason HoI4 survives is the huge amount of mods it piggy backs on, and EUIV is a very specific genre that a lot of people love dearly not to mention the monstrosity of DLC's they poured into it.

[@valeriolibratti9643]

It's bette than Imperator. Imperator is just a dumber version of eu IV with nothing going on, this is an actual game, but they had a lot of arrogance in thinking that that simple and repetitive economic system made the game fun at the point of ignoring the army and navy

[@CallMeBasil]

Why not play modded Vicky 3, then?

[@Aug__]

That army system they had before was by far the stupidest idea Paradox has ever had

[@Aug__]

Honestly, looking at it now it's still bad

[@goldenhate6649]

It plays much better now. Army quality also matters so much more now. Not saying its great, but it feels more like hoi4. I kinda don’t like that feel because grand battle plans like that didn’t develop until trench warfare, but oh well.

[@unknown-pr2ju]

I do admit the new system is better for actual war but honestly I liked the simplicity of it all well not the fronts but before each barrack had to be one specific thing in your unit

[@evilemuempire9550]

It’s weird that they took out most of the system most of their players buy PDX games for. EU4, CK2, HOI4 all have the economy essentially as a support for the army. The economy in those games is mostly something to focus on in downtime and then let it take a backseat when you’re fighting/blobbing.

[@abdulpadela4738]

So true king

[@miguelpadeiro762]

Eh, to me it does I think the problem here is that there was such a big time gap between each installment It's like if we got ck3 after ck1, they're so different. Launch date CK2 is almost incomparable with today's CK2 (Which in turn is very similar to ck3). In the same way, EU4 today is nowhere near what launch date EU4 was, but launch date EU4 brought much from EU3. The essence of vicky, a game of markets and goods in the coming age of imperialism and industrialization, is there. The problem is that some mechanics simply flopped, like how they decided to tackle military But vicky 2, we had two DLC and a huge hiatus filled with "Victoria 3 when" memes.

[@RockNRollHorrorshow]

@@miguelpadeiro762 The problem is too that they injected leftist political thought deep into the game from the start..

[@paradoxcr522]

​@@miguelpadeiro762 It really isnt. In Victoria 2 you play as the upper crust of the government. The more liberal a country got the less control you would have over it. You played to placate your population as you dealt with them becoming more intelligent. Oh yeah the population was actually important. TLDR, you are working at the top of the piramid and you are working down In vic 3 you play the entire country and economy. You create companies. You choose what laws the people want to pass. You build the education centers and basic production buildings. Pops just have the sole role of filling jobs. They don't matter. Agitators matter which is another thing you choose. TLDR you are the pryamid.

[@shaddaboop7998]

Not sure where you're getting this from. The devs made a lot of really poor gameplay decisions and released a half-finished game. A lot of the ideas were either underdeveloped or were simply terrible and I'm still scratching my head to this day as to how a well regarded professional game studio could be so totally deaf to its own player base. They're gradually getting it on track having abandoned a lot of the truly awful ideas they spent a lot of energy defending before and immediately after release. Put simply Victoria 3 was for many people a subjectively bad game but it was deeply flawed on a lot levels objectively too. The negative reaction had little to do with the reputation it has to live up to. PDX really let people down here.

[@HonestShell]

I think the vanilla experience of vicky3 is still long way to becoming great but Victoria tweaks mod from One Proud Bavarian makes the game better so maybe check the game with the mod later

I agree with your take. I put up with all the issues that came with it at release but now instead of putting up with things I'm enjoying the game a lot more. Still work to be done but so promising that progress is being made

[@Indignation211]

I am happy to see you give the game another chance after the updates. As a USA main I can confirm that once you complete the western expansion you dont really HAVE to conquer any more since at that point you have way more resources than you have people to work them. I typically go the diplomatic route and bring South America into my Customs Union for access to Rubber as well as to attract the European Heritage people living there to immigrate. Mexico tends to be fickle on whether they want to make up and be friends after the whole manifest destiny thing or even if they do they may just suddenly decide they want their states back, become Belligerent and leave the Customs Union. Also what is it about my play style that I pretty much never trigger the American Civil War yet just about everyone else does?

[@Hikayuhuy]

How do you deal with the population in the west? The “populating the west” thing bring like 50 Dutch or Swedes every 5 years for me and no one is moving westward. 1.5.5 beta was too insane as I moved nearly 100 millions Hans Chinese to America, but now it’s way too slow.

[@Indignation211]

@@Hikayuhuy yeah apparently migration is bugged right now and it is slated to be buffed in a coming patch. I do remember California becoming my most populated state during beta but now my population grows at a snails pace under the same strategy, ill be lucky to hit 80 million population by 1936 at this rate whereas before I could hit 280 million (and thats without more conquest or importing tons of Chinese)

[@tsdobbi]

Im on my first playthrough after a year. A problem with the US is the frontier colonization law. It took me FOREVER to get rid of that law and be able to colonize elsewhere. The thing is I don't think it fully works as intended. So its supposed to be you can only colonize on unciv territory that borders your territory. So I conquered territories from other countries in africa and south america and still couldn't colonize the unciv land that bordered them.

[@El_Lanf]

I've played it a lot ever since launch, and the latest patch does a lot of things great, especially warfare but I actually think the bread and butter of the game - the economy - is a little rough at the minute compared to the previous patches of 1.3 and 1.4. They need another balance sweep to get some of the late game buildings and production methods working properly. Tney've also got to streamline the UI especially as ISP says for military it takes far too many clicks and menus to get things done and lack of keyboard shortcuts to speed it up. Want to add field hospitals to your armies? Prior to the latest patch you just needed to change a production method on your barracks, it took about 4 clicks total. Now you've got to select every individual army, go to a tab for supplies, scroll to the bottom, expand another segment then click the field hospitals. They've got serious QOL to do for all this. All they need is a ctrl + click to apply to all armies.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

I got really into Victoria 3 for a while like last month after getting the DLC. I just spent the whole time trying to figure out the different ways I could screw over Imperial Russia AS Russia, like, intentionally governing really poorly so a bunch of revolts keep happening over and over, or have a secret vanguard Intelligentsia deep state guiding the Trade Unionists. It only happened once, but somehow I got both the Intelligentsia and Trade Unionists in government together with maximum legitimacy, but the Trade Unionists were the Communist Party, while the Intelligentsia just remained partyless the whole time, and they sat quietly back as the Trade Unionists, which were the biggest party by a vast majority, turned Russia into a free workers' paradise.

[@Nightmare78hAlo]

The 1 year of updating made it so much better, been enjoying my Brazil run so far a lot. I don't mind how much time you have to spend dealing with economics since that's kinda the main pillar of Vicky, would be like complaining about having to deal with personal intrigue in CK. What's nice to boot is, that all of the major reworks and additions are free, the two content DLCs it got the last 12 months they have are primarily flavor and journal/mission packs for either France (Voice of People) or Brazil plus rest of South America (Colossus of the south). So it doesn't feel like you need to drop 20 more bucks to get the actual improvements to the core and i hope that first proper expansion will do it similar where most or half of the crucial core improvements will be part of the free patch and not be gate locked behind the rather overpriced tag it has atm (30 euros). A side rant, that was really a shitty move making the main expansion DLCs in CK3 and Vicky 3 be that pricy and Ck3 has shown that the 10 euro price hike didn't really end up equaling to better content honestly, since HOI4 which still does 20 euro expansions is doing a better job at it but maybe Vicky 3's big expansion will be a please surprise as this 1.5 was.

[@taco8951]

Im really glad they made one for Brazil because I've always like playing Brazil when playing Vic 2 and Vic 3. Having all this flavor and events makes them so much more interesting, even if the crisis at the beginning sucks somewhat.

Basically they didn't feel like they could get away with milking this part of their fanbase or they'd have another imperator. Dead on arrival and killed by the first paid dlc.

Paradox: has a working, pretty flushed out system for war in the form of HOI4 and other games. Also, Paradox: Let's completely throw every aspect of that system and every other war system in all of our other games, then start completely from scratch for this game. And then tries polishing the turd instead of just implementing a better system. That being said, I haven't really stopped playing Vic 3 since it came out. I don't play it all the time, but I think it's a fun game. 300+ hours says that. It's just weird to me that they completely dumped out a system that works in favor of something much worse in every way. It could just be a simpler version of what's in Hoi without custom division template sizes. The frontline system and unit training are the main points I'm thinking of. A similar Naval system where there are actual ships to interact with would be better, too.

I loved vic3 even on release, now I love it even more

[@blobona4810]

[@youtubeaccount1233]

i want more victoria content, please

[@Kudryavka_Noumi]

If Victoria 3 is ever actually good you'll need to use an AI-generated sexy version of Queen Victoria

[@jimnicholas7334]

I've been watching a lot of Viki 2 YT content lately and coming back to Viki 3 I was struck by how plasticky and fake the map and all the visuals were. Yet the sound design for pushing buttons and stuff is way crisper and more impactful.

[@obob6309]

I personally hate every single one of those sound effects.

[@impostorsyndrome1350]

Yo iSorrow, I heard you like pain?? (xd). I suggest you try out the 1945 start date mod (That Alex the rambler and Bitter Steel did like a week ago), it's actually insanely hard (Endsieg v2), and it would be nice seeing your side on it. It took Bitter Steel like 14 tries with removed negative modifiers to actually win it

Imperator Rome: is it good yet?
