    Yeah it's definitely an improvement. I think @alcoholicorn is right, where it's tied to reaching something in the tech tree first. I could also see the new quest system, or whatever it's called, being part of it

        That's pretty cool, I like that system. Hopefully it helps the game feel less railroad-y than Vic2 did

          It does, though it's a little too freeform right now, like my Mexico game just had America peacefully transition to a worker council democracy, without freeing the slaves and has colonized a quarter of Africa.

          Either that kind of behavior shouldn't be allowed, or a lot of flavor text to make it seem less insane should be added.

            Yeah that does seem like an oversight lol. I feel like I remember Vic2 having some of that hard-coded, where if you switch to a communist government type, it automatically locks slavery to "outlawed", for example, or at the very least sets it to that if it wasn't already. I might be wrong about that though. Something like that would be nice as a minimum, in either case

            I was a little disappointed as to how uneventful my switch to workers councils was. The Whigs and Tories didn't even oppose it. Also as the zeitgeist I could just arbitrarily bolster trade unions

            Maybe it's just me. :shrug-outta-hecks: I always felt like I couldn't do much other than map painting, and when I tried to do anything interesting it took hours for anything to happen at all. It is also my least played Paradox game, at 103 hours, so might have just never learned how to play it to it's potential

          You joke, but I have seen a (blessed) Spanish translation of the Communist Manifesto with the authors listed as Carlos Marx and Federico Engels
