This is like the owner of the only cakery in a town that sells a specific desserts wondering why people are mad, yet keep buying their treats after they decided to make the icing out of their own feces.

Paradox has become so desperate, they are now using sockpuppets:

Do you people really want victoria 3 ? It will end up as the same garbage as imperator.
Even after lessons learnt from Imperator, taking of gradually Imperator & Johan of mana (like every mana junkie, he put some symbolic fight to it) and even if Doomdark is Victoria 3's composer,hm?
Go on, rate me all with fabulously optimistic, Pompey patch is genuine incline and you all have too many grudges in your heart for Paradox to make room in it for small hope. And despite all flaws, Paradox is among my TOP 5 publishers, Swedish cucks & cucketts listen to feedback, cause unlike EA they can't afford not to. + their CEO is based Swedish boomer dad, probably secretly votes for Sweden Democrats but pssst
The guy is no longer CEO. He has been replaced by a progressive woman.

They listen because Imperator was a disaster and even then the shit they actually take away from the criticism is wrong. Doesn't help that their forums are filled with nothing but cocksuckers and lickspittle cucks.

Well there are certain things about Victoria 2 that are infuriating and can't be fixed by modding (namely the way that armies and mobilization works are just bad; and lesser things about RGO and world market balance), so on the offchance that it miiiiiiiight address those things yea.
EDIT: Also I want to beat back Kwa with the Sioux.
Yeah, just checked it. He's been CEO since 2003, 15 years is looong reign for average Roman Emperor let alone CEO. Corporate Coup took place last year. Fredrik is now co-consul of Paradox DLC Merchant Republic aka Executive Chairman (title he made up and crowned himself with). Guess his influence remains very strong inside company

Ah their forums are pretty dead,all that is left is a bunch of retarded yes men. Where do you think johan saw that people want mana?
There may be something that need fixing,but they will fuck the whole game and dumb it down. I too would like to conquer the world with Bulgaria.

Victoria 2's limited expansion mechanics are kind of annoying, on that note. I sort of understand the desire - balance of power and all that - but I dislike that even if you have the military force to defeat a coalition of the rest of Europe, cb restrictions will prevent you from any major expansion until you get in a Great War. But you can still do massive expansion for no infamy ie annexing all of the Austrian Empire as Prussia, so the way the game works ends up being pretty silly. I'd rather be able to map paint, if I can beat a coalition of the great powers.

Well annexing the Austrian Empire as Prussia requires a lot of metaknowledge in regards to how you can do that in the first place (also it requires a lot of work to get Austria out of the Great Powers until before late game).
Anyway, the real problem with war in Vicky 2 is really that it's almost entirely a numbers game, if you have higher population and better tech, you will win without any thought given. But the bigger problem is that the way raising armies is linked to provinces is a huge pain in the ass that adds nothing but annoyance. Personally I'd prefer a revised system based around mobilization, where tech has been decoupled from war effectiveness (at the very least, equipment should be something you can just BUY instead of a thing that can change magically overnight), in general I'd wish the tech system to be changed entirely.

Quite impressive such an old game,lot more niche, beats a brand new release. If i were them i would really reconsider my recent design choices.
How is the industrial revolution considered more niche than the Roman era?
It is. The average prole has no idea what the IR was. But everyone has heard about Cleopatra and Anthony.
Maybe that's the problem with modern society.

This was probably the worst GSG I've ever played. Not only is every single feature recycled from EU: Rome, EU4, or CK2, but it also somehow manages to be much worse than in those games. Started as a city state in Crete, managed to beat Phrygia because the AI is just that terrible.
