>Victoria III when?
do you really want them to make that

>>385820079
After Stellaris and HoI4 I'm not sure I want that anymore

The question should be:
Non casual paradox game when?

the spirit must flow

>>385820079
Is victoria II hard to get into if I only played eu4 and civ 5?

>>385820794
Not really
Victoria 2 is intimidating at first; but it's really not that complicated
Also no prohibitive amounts of DLC, so that's cool.

>>385820163
>>385820364
Why not? There's nothing to lose from getting a new game anyway.

So
Autocrat Mana, Communist Mana and Liberal Mana

start has only 5 pop types (one for each class of society) with all others being added through dlc

Victoria 2 and Darkest Hour are the only games that satisfy my autism. EU4 and HOI4 are full of border gore.

>Can only play Vicky 2 on surface level.
Guess I'm not autistic enough.

Johan already said that it will be a Victoria 3 somewhen, but Wiz said that they only have the capacity to do it when Crusader kings 2 is finished AKA they probably can even start working on vicy 3 in one to three years.

I wouldn't expect it comming out pre 2020

>>385822380
Which is better, Darkest Hour or HoI 3?

I think according to the typical Paradox cycle a Vicky III is next.
CKII
EUIV
HoI IV
Vicky III

Is Hoi4 still "spam infantry + arty with superior firepower to win everything"?

>>385823430
they've nerfed it a bit and increased the AI's intelligence somewhat so you can no longer do stupid things like conquering Germany as Belgium by 1941

>>385823593
is the mass doctirne and grand battle plan worth?

I hope they it least give it a fraction of the treatment they've given Crusader Kings 2 with the expansions and content packs.

>>385823661
nope, even for defensive nations like France grand battle plan isn't worth it

Post your guilty pleasure campaigns

>>385823593
Sounds cool. Did they add any reason to use planes that aren't fighter + strat bomber?

>>385823685
That's how they make their money, of course they will.
CKII and EUIV have had so many fucking expansions, HoI IV recently got one, and I don't know much on Stellaris, I haven't bought it.

>>385823817
CAS is actually useful now, Naval bombers are back to being useless and heavy fighters have a sort of niche role if you're waging war between south american nations

I like Paradox games because they're easy to pirate

>>385823998
Tell me more please.

>>385823998
Is there a scenario where you would want Tactical bombers?

If Paradox could put these in Vicky3, that'd be great
>Civil war/rebellion mechanics more like the American Civil War- instead of sudden pop-up rebels, entire states can secede into independent entities like in CK2; like in real life,
two (or more) versions of the same country can exist with different government types, with each government having core claims on the entire country
>More mechanics and events related to political parties and related paramilitary groups; more comprehensive mechanics portraying threats of fascist or communist take-overs
>In-depth infrastructure mechanics and quality of life quantified by state
>Proxy war mechanics for Great Powers
>Genocide and atrocity mechanics and events

Egypt as a base. HPM, No cheats. I may have save scummed a little at the beginning because it's a bitch to get allies to help you revolt properly. The rest was blowing out little shit countries and colonizing all of the empty space in the Sahara.
