Grand Strategy Victoria 3

No surprise actually, it's Sweden after all.

 

[HeroMarine]

Yeah, it's been a long time that Paradox has been infiltrated by the gay mafia and other degenerates. They must get really mad when we mod the game to fix the shit they put in.

[HeroMarine]

Oh boy, modding this will be hard.

 

[Joggerino]

I'll be hard while modding.

I won't.

I'll hardly be modding.

The longer you look at this picture, the worse it gets.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Nigfy will fix this.

An AMA by a guy who played (a presumably more recent build than the leaked version of) the game.

And when asked about what was the weirdest shit that he saw during his 70+ hours of gameplay...

Spoiler

lmao again

Seems like they made this ideology OP in the game.

I watched the gameplay reveal stream and was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look too bad, and I did feel optimistic about the chances of being able to fix it up with mods. The three guys presenting it (even Wiz) were encouragingly normal. They also noted bugs and defects in AI behavior they saw during the stream to be addressed later, which was more engagement with their work than I ever expected from Paradox now (I haven't bought a Paradox product since HOI4 or CK2 Holy Fury, whichever came last). Reading the AMA Libertador posted sounds worse, but that was apparently with an earlier version of the game. One of the most discouraging things Mr. AMA said is that there is virtually no diplomatic penalty to having an anarchist or communist government, but modding in a negative opinion modifier should be easy if it isn't addressed by release.

I'll buy it (from GMG).

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

All I want to know is whether or not I'll have to mod all the black generals out of Italy, Britain or wherever again.

 

[ArtilleryHoney]

I'm never buying this guaranteed to be unfinished piece of shit piece of shit because it'll be steam exclusive.

 

[HeroMarine]

Modding this will be glorious.

Btw, a question for our resident weaboos (+/- historically literate individuals like Delterius & FreeKaner): what does each of the flags below represent?

If I understood it correctly, the flag on the top right is the Shogunate flag (Tokugawa flag with the red sun superimposed upon it) and the one on the bottom right is the imperial flag (imperial seal on a red background); but what about the other two? Liberal and council republic respectively? And does anyone have a clue about what the characters on the bottom left flag mean?

They are all made up flags. I assume top left is regular Japanese republic, top right is probably some sort of liberal/republic government, the bottom left is probably something Showa or Fascist, bottom right is traditional monarchy.

 

[FreeKaner]

The bottom left in particular reminded me of this:

and this:

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Nah, that one is definitely the Shogunate flag.

Here's the Tokugawa Shogunate's historical naval ensign:

Also, guess I could tag WhiteShark since he might be able to translate the bottom left one's text.

 

[FreeKaner]

Problem is what would a "Tokugawa government" would be in game terms? Unless Tokugawa shogunate just starts with it I don't think it would be separate.

Another problem is most states actually didn't have state flags in 1836. So they have to just make things up. Concept of a "state flag" or "national flag" basically develops in the 19th century itself.

The starting Japanese government, naturally.

that lower left flag is a bit of a mystery. image search led me to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_26_Incident

It's been confirmed that [Insert Emperor] Restoration functions more or less akin to a tag switch through events (e.g. Samurai IG being replaced with normal military IG, color switching from green to red). You also have a decision to embrace Shinto, but dunno if it's limited to a post-restoration scenario or whether you can embrace it as the Shogunate.

Yeah, so probably the fascist flag. Wonder what the writings on it mean tho.
