The new Agitator system brings history to life with over 60 new real world characters fighting for their beliefs in your nation. From the fiery American abolitionist John Brown to the German Socialist Rosa Luxembourg and the determined Italian nation-builder Giuseppe Mazzini, famous historical figures may appear in your country to build their own power base and promote changes to help or hinder your current plans

:lets-fucking-go: :JB-shining-aggro:

Co-opt Agitators into your state by appointing them leaders of an interest group or letting them command troops. Or, if you prefer, exile the troublemakers who are wrecking your stable country. You can even invite other people’s exiles to promote their agendas in your more welcoming society, potentially giving you a leg up in pushing advanced reforms

uggggh i hate that paradox games have become alt-historical fantasy wish fullfillment simulators but they are!!

Vic 3 is infinitely better in this regard than HoI4, which is effectively a "here's how Germany could have won" simulator for pea-brained fascists.

Idk about that. Staging the Italian Revolution, yeeting Mussolini 7-8 years early and liberating all of continental Europe along with my Soviet comrades was pretty wish-fulfillment-y.

Granted, it's all abstract for non-military aspects of the world so V3 wins out in that regard. Some mods add more flavor (via walls of text a la TNO) so there is something unique about Hoi4.

Winning the Spanish Civil War as the Republicans always feels pretty good too

Eh, they're still capitalists. The true gangsta move is going with the anarchists and being able to core the entire world.

How many DLCs tend to get released per Victoria game?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Victoria 2 has 10, but Stellaris has 21. So expect a lot.

Paradox games work off a weird quasi-MMO model where they release a base game and then continue to actively support it for a decade by pumping out expansions and content packs. The upside is that a game you bought in 2015 still feels fresh and exciting, the downside is that you if you start playing in 2023 instead of 2015 you have to drop like $200 to have a proper game.

Europa Universalis 4 has 68 DLCs

and it is barely a game if you don't own like at least most major dlcs, which is why they have now a subscription model built in to the game
