How will they not?

How will they not?

They're already basing reforms on Mana

Isn't Victoria 2 literally a black box at this point? Nobody can figure out the economic calculations so how would they make a sequel function in quite the same way?

It's the resource productions that make zero sense in the code

Also they removed Civilized vs Uncivilized

Double edit: it’s real

Victoria is a very anti SJW series, the new one's gonna be butchered. You've already killed my interest.

"Everything is political", on one hand it's a grand strategy game based around the Victorian era, on the other hand, this is the canard of annoying soy golems as an excuse to put in whatever they read on twitter.

 

[NynchLiggers]

Yes, I will pirate Vic 3
Yes, I will pirate the DLC too.
Yes, I will post negative comments on the steam page
Yes, I will create memes mocking the developers and post it on social media
Yes, I will play mods that have graphic depictions of war crimes.

Dammit. Here I was hoping I'd be able to spread "democracy" to the world in the name of free trade piles of money. 1853 won't commence again!

This is the official "Its gonna suck paradox hasn't made a good game since CK2" post

Its gonna suck donkey balls

Ok, so the Civ vs Unciv removal isn't confirmed, and looks to be a rumor, but it's well within reason for pdx to do it
Edit: it’s real

Removing it as a mechanic would be dumb. The vast disparities in technological advancement between groups of people was extremely important in this time period. I'll give Paradox the benefit of the doubt here, an article claimed they were going to remove deus vult from CK3, and it was there on release.

I’ve never dreaded a game’s release more

Y I K E S

Cyberpunk 2077, I knew without a doubt that it would be broken and was dreading the game's release

[HumanHive]

Paradox continues to stick its nose into eras that it claims to be ashamed and disgusted by.

Think I’ll stick with Anno 1800.

lmao

they're implementing a racial discrimination system

Communism is now modeled as a wealth distribution system rather than a market control system

hmmmmmm bros I don't know

If I had to guess it's going to be like how authoritarian governments are in Hearts of Iron, in VickyII they'll present Communism as the ideal form of government/market management.
