Yeah, but not yet. I'm going to be very busy over the next few months and am short of funds at the moment. Do love that they abstracted war, so you're just assigning generals and strategies and scrambling to keep your boys in the field supplied and provisioned, rather than having to manually move stacks around the map. Feels more thematic for the Victoria series. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby! Remember: heat from fire, fire from heat! She/her ... Copied to Clipboard!

I haven't been keeping up with it, but I've put more hours into eu4 than almost any other game. I played Victoria 2 a little bit and enjoyed it although it was a bit dated. I'll probably get it next year when it's on sale with expansions and major bugs wrinkled out. --- http://i.imgur.com/tqMGw.png http://i.imgur.com/IHbuM.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes, already pre-ordered. Victoria 2 was my first Paradox game, so I'm hyped. It also looks fun from all those videos of it coming out in the past few days. I like the changes to the war system too. Victoria 2's system was often too much for me to keep track of. --- Many Bothans died to bring you this post. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not so bad a thing in EU or Stellaris, but it was always rough in Vicky. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby! Remember: heat from fire, fire from heat! She/her ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just came to post this same question lol. Yeah, the dev diaries have made it clear they've put a LOT of work into improving the satisfying depth of the game while streamlining the player's interactions with the economic portions of the game. They've made some pretty bold choices as well, such as removal of a national treasury in favor of a running budget and removing building limits in favor of soft caps based on population, that I think will really remove some of the more gamified portions of most strategy games. --- 'Cause you know that I have no fear, ain't gonna walk into the river and disappear.

No. Games like that are obsessive time sinks for me, and I don't need to add those into my life anymore. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If it's a bunch of poorly-equipped conscripts, then yeah, you *should* get wrecked. But it should also encourage smaller powers to cozy up to one or more regional or even great powers for protection. --- I'm Queen of Tomorrow baby! Remember: heat from fire, fire from heat!

I wasn't even aware it came out today until Saturday. I knew it was in development but I didn't imagine it would come out anytime soon. But yes, I will get it for sure. I sunk so many hours playing Vicky 2. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam. Will not change sig until the Tsar is put back in the Russian throne (July 08, 2010) ... Copied to Clipboard!
