You won’t be able to do it alone, you’ll need the help of fellow like-minded individuals to work on passing the laws you put in place. ![]() You inherit your country’s politics and a lot of the time there will be some things in there that you’ll want to change immediately. While economics plays a huge part in the gameplay loop of Victoria 3, politics is what drives your population’s wants and needs. I get similar feelings to playing around with a Microsoft Power BI dataset while browsing menus and gathering information to make decisions.Īll of the fun of politics without some horned dude playing the fiddle at your side Victoria 3 uses superb design to draw your eyes and attention to the parts of the menus that are most pertinent with all relevant information presented in a concise and easy-to-read manner. Anyone who has tried to crack Victoria 2 will know that GUI was a mess of square boxes and bland menus. In reality, the expansion will more than likely make you money, so long as you are managing your market prices and keeping an eye on the available workforce.įurther hammering in the ongoing spreadsheet joke is the fact that Victoria 3 has the best base GUI in any Paradox game I’ve seen at launch since well…forever. The nested tooltip for these expansions will make it look like they will do nothing but lose you money. In order to do that you have to increase the number of boats you have available and then increase the size of your ports. Say you want to work on expanding your available trade routes. It’s also this presentation that can sometimes be a little misleading. So if you’re like me and struggling to get deep into Victoria 2, this is a fantastic place to start. I spent a decent portion of my initial preview time with the game exploring these tooltips and it did more for me than 20 hours of Victoria 2 Youtube videos could ever do. This peak behind the curtains works to both show you the nuts and bolts of how the game works, but also gives you an insight as to what you can do to improve your standing in the world. Simply hover over the word and a brief rundown of everything that goes into the concept is laid out onscreen. ![]() It’s a very clever way to guide you into which countries fit the Victoria 3 model of gameplay, even though you are free to choose any of the available nations.Įven beyond the basic concepts you need to simply start the game, every simulated calculation, keyword, and concept is able to be expanded upon using what is called Nested tooltips. Be it through hegemony, economic dominance, or even as a beacon of liberty in the era of fledgling democracy. In addition to tutorials, Victoria 3 comes with interactive guides for the different ways to achieve success in the mid-19th century. These journal entries can either point you in the right direction for how to accomplish your task or lay it out plainly step by step what you need to do. It’s this economic and political ouroboros that defines the Victoria 3 experience in a nutshell. If your citizens can’t afford the items they need or their political goals aren’t being realized, they’ll get upset and begin to revolt. If you can’t produce a good that your pops demand, you must trade for it using trade routes. The goods you produce and their supply and demand dictate their price in your market. Pops are considered to be happy when their income is high enough that they can afford their basic needs such as clothing and food, with higher-class citizens requiring more lavish goods. It is your job to improve the lives of your citizenry and keep them happy. Each of the citizens of your game world is simulated on characteristics such as education, religious and political beliefs, ethnicity, and profession. ![]() You control the politics and industry of your nation, but you are kept in check by the populace of those you rule. If Victoria 3 were to have a key defining base element, it is the population mechanic.
