DakotaHale Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 How would you organize the interest groups into the modern US political parties? Trade unions, rural folk, land owners, intelligentsia, industrialists, devout, petite bourgeoisie, armed forces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaHale Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 GOP: Rural folk, landowners, industrialists, devout Dem: Trade unions, intelligentsia N/A: Petite bourgeoisie, armed forces (but the former could go Dem and the latter GOP) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be more leftist interest groups, but I guess that doesn’t make a lot of sense in the context of the era. Hopefully they’re easily moddable for more contemporary settings. Definitely prefer the way AMPU handles interest groups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely prefer the way AMPU handles interest groups. Politics is a little gamey too. In my current Transvaal game I almost got into a revolution but they backed down and all of the IGs involved get sent straight down to zero. They come back of course but it allows you pass whatever laws you want for a certain amount of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 If I'm being honest, I'm actually kind of bored of the game now. Very little actually happens, at least as the US. I cranked up the aggressiveness of the AI, and so far the only thing that happened is the Sioux declared war on me, but of course I was able to easily stomp on them. Even a hands-off game is rarely interesting to check in on, as the map barely changes over the course of 100 years (outside of Africa). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that in my observer game, although the US split into the US and the Free States of America. It is early released. I disliked Hearts of Iron until severs DLC came out to make it playable. Im still enjoying it/learning the game. Math and economics are my weakest areas so the learning curve is probably longer for me than more business-oriented people. I see a ton of potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenzonico Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 As of right now the game is objectively shallow from what I've seen. It's just too lacking with flavour. But the foundation for a truly great game is there, and I hope paradox is able to realize that potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrman104 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I personally found it much more fun playing nations like Sindh or Hawaii. You can micro without it being too tedious, theres a low floor so its satisfying to grow and working out the best way to dismantle the aristocracy is a fun challenge. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Yeah after my America run I think I’m doing one more major nation and calling it quits until a DLC/patch work comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringles Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Perhaps the funniest thing I've seen in the game thus far. Lead by an Ethno-Nationalist female general. 💀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I think I’m done with V3 until the first DLC. Here’s a challenge for someone good at this game. Play as Saxony and make the Sorbs (population group) prosper. I failed at this. My dad’s family tree is 75% Sorb, including my Germanized surname. Sorbs are Slavs closely related to Poles and Czechs, but they haven’t had their own nation since Charlemagne. The other 25% of my dad’s side is German. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blood Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I've been playing off-and-on since release, with three nations so far. Overall, the game definitely needs some tweaks and flavor, but I really enjoy the core mechanics of the econ and political systems, and the war system isn't nearly as terrible as some people doomed about. 7.5/10, will be bumped up with updates and DLC. And even if the base game remains flawed, there's always mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing really well until the French invaded me and won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I've really enjoyed the game so far. It has a pretty steep learning curve, but it's nothing compared to that of Victoria 2 imo. It's definitely a little barebones when it comes to flavor at the moment. I feel like there should be far more unique party names, politicians, and interest group names for starters. That's something I expect that modders will fill out in huge, huge flavor packs that would probably be not as great if done by Paradox anyway. The core game mechanics are pretty good. They fixed the calculation for building revenue somewhat in the last patch which makes it easier to predict what will be profitable and what won't be when choosing your next project. I'd like to see politics be expanded on a lot more, though. It's objectively superior to be socially liberal from the very getgo, and you can ban slavery and enact multiculturalism with no ill effects as early as 1842ish if you get lucky. I'd like to see interest groups have their pop attraction and size modifiers revamped significantly, and for unique coalitions of interest groups forming a party to have a different name. It'd be cool to see interest groups that are stuck together in a party have a chance to sway each other in some ways, too. If the Military and the Evangelicals have led together for decades, you'd expect there to be significant overlap in their beliefs even if they started off somewhat shaky. Overall, I'm going 8/10. Probably up to 9-9.5/10 by the end of it's development cycle and mods. I do believe it has a lot of potential to be one of the greatest games Paradox has made, if not the greatest. But, that would require a significant revamp of politics, better revolution mechanics, and features I cannot even imagine until they've been implemented 😛 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
