Victoria 3

玩过Paradox游戏（HOI4，EU4，Vic3）里面最有难度，最耗时间，上手难度最高但也是最好玩的一个。 先说优点：Vic3可以让你实打实明白所有的外交博弈的背后只有一个最根本的原因：钱。Vic3的时间处在19-20世纪里，一个资本主义横行天下的年代。游玩这个游戏能够让你至少浅显地理解宏微观经济以及现代国家的基本运作，进而或许可以理解OTL中当时国家的一些决策与操作。Vic3的许多图表（比如说人口，GDP，生活水平，识字率，激进/忠诚，etc）很直观，也都对你的游戏非常地有帮助。 那么再来说一下缺点：上手时间和难度比EU4和HOI4高了不止一个等级。在Vic3，一个国家不仅仅要考虑经济，还要考虑控制经济的法律，国家的利益集团和他们的支持度和影响力，而这些都和经济挂钩。在经济里，最为重要的便是考虑究竟怎样的产业资源布局，生产方式，税收，福利，自动化等才能够不至于让自己的国家亏钱，还能在列强忽然的外交博弈当中不落下风。这也是我认为十分困难的一个原因——要考虑的东西实在太多了。 当然，结合上面这些点来说，Vic3也是最能带来成就感的游戏之一：将一个一穷二白的传统主义国家在五十年时间内快速实现工业化，人均生活水平从7直接翻倍到16，GDP像火箭一样飞升。看着人口从80%自给农到40%的劳工，识字率从20%到90%，国际地位从弱小政权一跃到第二列强，这种成就感比HOI4和EU4那种偏向于地盘征服的游戏更大一些。

我简直不敢相信，本地化工作未完成就发布内容，那请问你们都在做什么工作呢？难道paradox是一个业余爱好者集中营？

game needs more goods/resources and mechanics in order to improve replayability. It doesn't matter what nation you play, they all feel more or less the same, you'll end up doing the same. I love PDX and their games, but they should go back to making niche games instead of broading their market by makig their games simpler.

Glorified spreadsheet simulator. It does not matter which nation you pick, you will be doing the exact same thing whether you play as Schaumburg-Lippe or Russia. Broken naval mechanics and dumb land warfare mechanics. A true testament that Paradox Interactive AB doesn't play their own game.

The game is boring.... and its sad, lots of potential, but, in the end, its not fun...

Este juego solo me dio más razones para odiar a Francia e Inglaterra

Victoria 3 is one of the deepest, most rewarding simulations I've ever played — and one of the steepest learning curves too. This is a game where the systems are genuinely interconnected in ways that take a long time to fully grasp. I'm still discovering mechanics and finding new ways that different systems influence each other, even after a good number of runs. The economy, trade, industrialization, diplomacy, and military/naval systems all feed into each other in ways that reward patience and deep engagement — this isn't a game you casually dip into and understand in an afternoon. I came to Victoria 3 after Crusader Kings III, which I absolutely loved but also found overwhelming for a long time before the systems clicked. Victoria 3 was actually a great stepping stone from that — still deeply complex, but approached differently enough that it helped me build on what I'd learned. I'll be honest: I don't think I would have been able to learn the systems here without watching other people play online. The learning curve is real, but the payoff for pushing through it is enormous. What I find most unique is the structure itself — there are no rigid objectives, no rounds or turns forcing you down a set path. You're just building, developing, and reacting to the world as it evolves, and that openness is refreshing compared to more objective-driven strategy games. I've had my most fun runs playing smaller or unconventional nations. Switzerland was a fantastic playthrough, Chile and Hawaii both made for really distinctive runs, and Japan, Belgium, and the Netherlands each had their own compelling strategic identity. Forming Italy has been a personal highlight — I've done it both as Sardinia-Piedmont and as Two Sicilies, and the different paths to the same outcome say a lot about how much depth is packed into this game. I'd love to see playable focus expand even further — a dedicated California path, or an Iceland game, both feel like they'd make for really interesting, unconventional runs given how the game rewards small, unique nations. The polish here is excellent, and Paradox clearly put enormous care into making all these systems talk to each other. Both Victoria 3 and Crusader Kings III are fantastic — different flavors of complexity, but both incredible achievements in grand strategy. Highly recommended if you're willing to put in the time to really learn it — this is a game that rewards immersion and patience above almost anything else.

imagine having a team that would idk esure some level of quallity of the updates you make, and even a wilder idea, maybe doing some playtests before releasing an update. but that would take time away from the 15 expansions they are working on.
