Assuming your video on the Great Game has been delayed, I am really looking forward too it when it comes out.

I for one am glad you covered this, I’ve bemoaned the diplomacy in this game for literal months now so anything that might make for more reactive and understandable AI is good news to me. Also, my best Vicky games are when I can end them on some organically created Great War through RPing for a while in terms of who my country would align with to fight against who (last one saw my socdem USA unite with communist Germany to dismantle my old enemy the British empire) so I love the idea of actually being able to work towards befriending a nation for that purpose besides “improve relations and bankroll lmao”, let’s hope for a good release in a few weeks.

I hope this also means there will be more consequences for diplomatic actions. I had a recent game where, as Greece, I swapped back and forth between the British and Austrian markets over the first few decades. Each nation kept offering me diplomatic goodies such as bankrolling, debt relief, joining my wars, etc. I rationalized this as them being reliant on my steel and manufactured goods production... But it would've been nice if one of them had eventually gotten fed up and stopped rewarding me.

You know I'm excited for the idea of government ideologies being involved in global politics. Like now when the first Communist/Vanguard/Anarchist states show up instead of them becoming relative power houses because Trade Unions are just a superior interest group all around, they might fall under that suspicion and hatred from the "old guard" who might want to see it nipped in the bud. Kind of an interesting dynamic. And seeing those Communists/Vanguard/Anarchist states actually trying to export their ideology instead of just... not.

True bro In their what’s it … ai objectives? It says world revolution and it’s literally just joining wars for a regime change

As an HOI main since the first iteration this brings me hope for the future of that series when they start working on it. I like seeing this seismic shift in thinking for the devs regarding the AI behavior.

I keep thinking of the idea of a major interest group you're courting (such as the intelligensia or the industrialists) being anti-your-favourite-ally and you being required to make a medium term choice between faster industrialisation but being on the rocks diplomatically, or reactionary monarchism for a little while longer just so britain doesn't invade you again.

The new patch is looking very promising. I hope Paradox has given themselves enough time to implement and test the new features, because honestly after so many failed patches I've lost hope that there is such a thing as a successful patch for Victoria. Of course, there is a glimmer of hope that this time everything will work out and I will be able to spend another 1000 hours in this game.

i mean they had most of it done but extended the time so that they could polish it more (i hope it works decent on release)

This might be exactly what was missing from the game. Hopefully this will deal with 'Canada can go Communist while still being a subject of Britain'. Britain should get a very agitated Industrialist lobby that will want to deal with that ASAP.

They’re adding new ways to influence subject’s laws and regimes too, so this concept is looking to be very fleshed out. I just hope the AI is able to effectively use the tools at its disposal.

What the hell is going on in the background?

The mod "divergences"for Vic 3

Diplomacy!! Finally!! Yeah I’m excited for the new patch and dlc, really should add a layer of depth beyond the economy.

Looking forward to a playthrough with the new dlc so i can play along and get back i to the game

aren't you covering the rest of the diaries?

While reading the dev diary I’d just gloss over the AI stuff. But know that you gave context I think that could save the game

What mod is this ( the map is diferent)

I wonder how the Diplomatic Catalysts will handle journal entries. Like, will it tell Austria "The attitude of Prussia toward us is now Belligerent. This happened because they intend to unify Germany under one banner."

THE BEST VIC3 MOD, PLEASE PLAY IT SOMETIME

I don't hold my hopes high and just waiting for whatever will come out

So what, the lobbies you get are loosely based on rng? Why not get every lobby that is possible when something g happens, and each lobby rises to prominence based on the alignment of factors?

Hm. I don´t feel that the attitude of the player base about Vic 3 has changed for the better. The game is now two years old and atm I don´t see SoI changing that. I hope PDX won´t abandon the game like Imperator.

Small correction, The game is now 1.5 years old, it released in October 2022. My reading on communities attitude of the game is cautiously optimistic regarding the update, and personally I believe this update will be THE major make or break point for changing the communities attitude on the game and ability to attract new players, and that change will heavily influence paradox's opinion on how much they'll invest into a season 2 of updates and dlcs going forward. It very much seems like the update could get a lot of people to say the game is good now give it a try if the update launches well (it has a lot of what the community has been asking for except being able to manually move troops around) and I believe paradox is also thinking this too with the massive two months delay focusing on polish, QA and bug fixing. I am hoping it goes well to get more updates, the game has great potential, but the game has also struggled with basically every major release so far :/

Amongst Victoria 3 communities the overall attitude has definitely become more positive. There are very few Vic 3 doomsayers nowadays, outside of the communities of other Paradox games like EU4/HOI4. Also, I just checked, and the game has seen a steady increase in player count since its low point last year.

My man. You will achieve great things in your cuttong-edge life.

The big concern with catalists, as you thoroughly explained, is that now, more then ever, Vicky3 will go heavy alt history. Italy will never form, USA will never ever get its historical borders, Germany if and when will form, will take any shape or form and so on. I don't know if I'm a fan of that.

@Scott3717

They will still attempt to do those things, it's rather that if those plans fail they will now direct to work towards something else rather than spinning their wheels

Personally, the new features will make Victoria 3 go from 'very boring' to only 'slightly boring'. Nearly 2 years after release, the game is still quite empty....

As you feel. I find it pleasant already, enough for 50-100 hours. For me, upcoming features will be a very game-changing, literally new layer of game loop, drastic change of economic and new content for two great powers.
