        why though? They could literally sell hundreds of unit packs that way. Isn't that what paradox wants anyway

          Modeling units takes some effort though, it's much easier to scramble a mission tree for a nation or two and sell that.

        I know this will make me sound like a massive homosexual, but I'm in favour of their new warfare style. It would be interesting to see how AI generals interpret orders and remove all the tedious micromanagement that comes from fighting on multiple fronts. Just give ya boiz campaign goals and access to certain units (that can be modified on the fly with a certain lag time), and watch them do their thing based on their own internal competence/personality. This way you get moronic leaders charging face first into the Somme with only their limp dicks to back them up, cowardly generals who have the doomstack to end all doomstacks yet are always hesitant to attack, and that one ultra rare guy who will basically disregard all your orders and capture entire continents with minimal losses.

        HOWEVER

        This requires Paradox to be able to program competent AI, which history has shown they cannot.

          That game you have in your head sounds like it could be good, shame they seemingly didn't even try to make it anything anywhere near as interesting as it though.
          But I agree that the idea of replacing the old system of moving around armies manually with a higher level system was a good idea because of all the various cool things it would let them do, but again they didn't do any of them. Like you're talking about "access to certain" units because obviously without the tedium of having to manually move units around into different armies the new system would make it really easy to make playing around with army compositions made up of a variety of units with different stats fun, instead the army building is "build a recruitment building and then set the production methods to the highest one you've researched".

                Chads understand that history is mostly driven by economics and mass movements.
                But sometimes it takes a giga chad begin and lead a mass movement

                my penis is extremely large
                I dont lead mass movements
                I frick them
                up the ass
                they love it

                Speaking of mass movements, reports are coming in from all over the world that huge mass movements of liquid feces are spilling out of people's trousers. It's gotten so bad that some cities are now completely underwater as the people drown in seas of shit. I have heard some people claiming that this is how Atlantis fell, and I'm inclined to agree. To think this was all caused from everyone's excitement for Victoria 3!

          It will require a way less evolved AI than their previous titles to be competent, simply because the new system doesn't have as many moving parts as their old systems that relied on micro and even regarding economics there are a lot more switches the AI can easily toggle on or off instead of sliders that an artificial intelligence, for obvious reasons, would find hard to deal with.

                Believe me, I have been scoffing bananas, prunes, all sorts of soft poo inducing foods. I even dropped half a tab of Correctol. Nothing seems to work. It seems I am solidly gummed up. I need help. Perhaps I just need to learn how to enjoy Victoria 3.

                Undoubtedly. Look, its going to be an awesome game. You are going to be able to play it on your phone while commuting. Only three buttons to mash when fighting a war! Lots of building meta micro! What is there not to enjoy? Soon your poo will be soft and loose and dropping out your ass uncontrollably, just like everyone else excited for this game!

    It's hilarious to watch this shitshow, it's like they managed to piss off everyone who liked Vicky 2. They pissed of metagays by removing army micro and simgays by making you micro your laisezz-faire economy.
    Victoria 3 is really just a scaled-up city builder, where create your perfect micromanaged garden and then go "vgh look at my fascist/communist utopia".

    Why is no one talking about hard poos? I am so unexcited by Vic3, my poos keep getting stuck halfway out my ass. It is a serious concern.
