Victoria 3 confirmed. It's like how I think the pop system in Imperator is a dry run for a hypothetical Vic 3 pop system.

Yes, this is unironic opinion.

Why else would Vicky II be half off on Steam right now? They're trying to get the last 40 people who will ever want to buy it to do so before III drops.

We were promised a communist Germany tree when the soviets got a rework. I'd also like a poland re-rework but it's more likely it'll be communist Germany, Baltics, Finland, USSR

Stellaris is really fun if you are into colonising and sci fi stuff.


If you do get it and are thinking of some dlc here is the wiki link, there are pages near the bottom for each dlc and you can have a looksie and see what interests you.

I would agree but the launcher is designed to brick itself. Old launcher wasn't perfect but even the primitive pre ck2 launchers were better than the paradox launcher which is a glorified brick.
