Context: The “Civilized” mechanic in Victoria 2 won’t be coming back in 3. It was an arbitrary system which gave “uncivs” (countries that haven’t westernized) maluses and an inability to access the normal research “tree”.
Instead, the countries in question will be modeled after their actual circumstances that put them at a disadvantage to Western powers (agrarian society, decentralization, no infrastructure, poor literacy, etc). You know, a materialistic approach that’s in line with the rest of the game.
Also, white chuds won’t shut up about some capeshit that came out years ago and it’s hilarious.
Nice. The China thing would be especially funny given that it was about 80% harder for Europe to advance to their technology prior to what the 1600s?
Yeah a player controlled China is easily able to spawn most of the institutions. It makes it very fun for alternate history that is still realistic
