#VICTORIA 3 WARFARE HOW TO#

Anyway, I'm not gonna rehash all my gripes about it here, but you get the idea. War goal targets don't get the focus they need, meanwhile the AI goes on a trip to Tahiti. In crusader kings 3, crusades are almost always a disaster because the AI just doesn't know whether it's more important to group up to fight a stronger nearby enemy, or split off into a dozen different directions to avoid monthly attrition.

The old model of building up an army and then having the AI decide how to deal with supply limits just doesn't work. So, maybe it *is* time for something different. Artificial intelligence is not Paradox's strong-suit, but I think it peaked with CK-2 (which wasn't great) and has declined ever since.

I suspect they don't really play their games, at least not enough to see for themselves the quirks and needed areas of improvement before throwing these issues onto customers to just, deal with, while fanboys make endless excuses and rationalizations as to why it doesn't work (and why it makes perfect sense that it doesn't work).īUT, I'm warming up to it, because I'm disappointed with the AI in Crusader Kings 3 and don't see any signs of a serious attempt to improve it. ^^That's what annoys me most about recent paradox titles. I'm starting to warm up to the system the developers are suggesting.ĭISCLAIMER: I'll need to actually see a ***real-live demonstration of a dev actually playing Victoria 3 using the proposed system and witness the developer not getting immensely frustrated with it. I'm wondering if anyone else has that concern or I'm alone in this worry. This system would also work because the idea of a front line came in the later part of the time period that which Victoria takes place. In my perfect world, we would start the game with control of our individual armies like EU 4 or Imperator because we would lack enough troops for a front line and then as time progressed, we could institute a HOI 4 style system with front lines, as shown in WW1. With those two recent developments in mind and many online theorizing of the implementation of 'strategic zones' rather than a system to actually control your army, I am concerned. This is understandable as Victoria 2's main objective wasn't war, but overall nation building like what Victoria 3 is going for. With that in mind, we also have been told that war isn't going to be the main focus of the game and that they don't want the game to be a map painter. I'm going off the art style here because we haven't seen what the smallest division on the map is going to be, whether it's a state, province, etc. Though we haven't got a lot of information, I'm concerned warfare is going to be implemented in a way that doesn't allow you to micro-manage.
