UK will dominate the early-mid game and the US will dominate the late game no matter how hard you try to make your pr*ssian plundering of africa happen. The only way out is to modernize china.
Makes you think :thonk:
It's probably a bit insensitive to drop that word into a casual sentence like that
India and Russia can also throw things off the rails if they modernize early.
in EU4, if you are good enough (or use some cheesy strats) you can start as native american, "westernize", and then conquer the old world.
ohh probably, but Victoria 2 is an older game and converting from EU4 was always a bit sketchy. Probably not a conscious decision from the developers, there might be a mod or something that fixes this, Ii've never really played Victoria 2 that much.
There are worse things in these games, like the resource of some coastal african nations being slaves, then again, this is simulating real history and in real history there was slavery, you can always pass a law that abolishes slavery (if you have the right techs and don't mind less money)
Abolishing slavery almost always gives you more money. Sure, you might get grain or fish, but slaves is among the worst trade goods.
But if you get the trade bonus from slaves your colonial nations are more profitable
I am increasingly beginning to consider whether upcoming games will be released before the coming Water Wars.
paradox games are shit the worst business model made to make the most evil people in the industry richer
Vicky 3 will be more about statebuilding rather than managing army deployments. So it will be complicated in a slightly different way, but probably also a bit more complicated in general.
boy do i wish i was smart/dedicated enough to figure out these games enough to enjoy them
