        Sold something like 500k copies, not bad for a gsg title but many potential buyers wait for flavors and better mechanichs. I'm not goin to buy an unfinished game that will have the plug pulled after 2 years

          That's some weapons grade copium. CK3 is the game that can become a classic with some tweaking and lots of additional content. Liqui 3 is just badly designed through and through. It would need several years of Stellaris-style major reworks just to become playable, let alone good. At this point it would probably make more financial sense for Paradox to abandon it altogether.

              Alright let's try to see how the napkin maths goes. I don't have the US store so I'll work off my currency conversion of $51, and we'll assume none of these sales are going to poorer regions or key shenanigans which always cut lower.
              >51 * 500,000 = $25,500,000
              Now then if we take off Steam's fee, 30%
              >$25.5m - 30% = $17.85m
              Then if we shave off Sweden's VAT, 25% it would seem
              >17.85 - 25% = $13.3875m
              And if we want to do corporation tax, 20.6%, let's just do 20%
              >13.3875 - 20% = $10.71m

              In 2015, Paradox Studio's listed employee count was 80, we don't know if it's changed but let's look at their average salary, 45,100SEK per month, so
              >45,100 * 12 = 541200, ~$52,058.49, * 80 = $4,164,679.2 or $4,200,000 per annum
              So unless on poverty salaries or with half the workforce reported over half a decade ago, $4m per year pay required.
              Unless someone enlightened can tell me I'm doing something horribly wrong, that's 2 and a bit years of pay. If we just take it from the Steam's fee bit, $17.85m, that's maybe 4.5 years' pay. And even with that we have to remember this is a for profit company, so the publisher, shareholders and whoever else will want to see those profits, and then remember that company costs aren't simply employs and shareholders either, you have cleaning agencies, IT agencies, land rent, insurance, return fees, legal fees, the unforeseen and whatnot...
              ... tell me this is still a good number.

              Isn't it amazing how much a small company costs? Not joking about that.

                Employers also pay social security/payroll taxes directly for each employee so you can add another 30% to that.

                Actually, it technically doesn't.
                Quality is more than throwing money at it.
                In fact a lot of modern commodities get better and better... whilst the businesses outsource to cheaper and cheaper labour markets. Something that Victoria games have never modelled outside of factory maintenance going up with more laws and eventually going bust, rather than capitalists emigrating or specifically purchasing foreign companies to circumvent this, though maybe that's outside the game's timeframe since the world was still very, very big and not owned by the capitalists yet.

                I'm guessing that old, once enthusiastic, workers are burning out with time, while low wages are speeding the process. Also since Paradox is being cheap they won't hire new competent stuff.

                Whenever I spend $20 on a dlc, after a few minutes I think to myself 'God damn it, they did it again'. 1 or 2 good features, while the overall game-play somehow becomes worse, for $20.

                High-quality footwear is as expensive as ever, no matter if we're talking about dress shoes or outdoor boots. The only thing that's become cheaper are mass-produced sneakers and "hiking gear" put together with spit and wood glue, that falls apart after a season of wearing.

                >Cameras
                Virtually all high-end electronics is produced in highly developed countries like Taiwan, Japan or Worst Korea. At most they outsource final assembly to China or SEA shitholes. Moreover the claim of "getting better" is questionable at best. So far this decade we've seen insertion of planned obscolescence into nearly every product on the market, aggresive anti-repair designs, walled garden policies, pervasive datamining, privacy breaches etc etc. So whatever money you save at the checkout will be taken from you tenfold in indirect way.

                Forgive me anon but go back three decades, or two, even one, and it'll be a different story. What you can comfortably buy with a western income is insane even though you haven't gotten a better job to be able to afford the top of the line shit made by sunkissed slaves with complimentary Himalayan pink salt.
                Generally the only thing to have gone down in quality is food. I wouldn't know if that's because adulterating it is how you deal with more western income mouths to feed or if something else happened. Though we have more cooking oil, soi and avocados than ever before, well, Europeans have more avocados, Americans have had them for a while.

                I understand what you're saying - it's shit for consumers, these things are slowly getting more expensive, people are conned into buy now, pay later loan schemes for iPhone upgrades.

                Taxes are arbitrary and simply a method of raising funds. It's always a punishment for success, so much so that evasion is the new success. You will find people sometimes create small companies they're the only employee of, for personal ventures, simply because corporate tax is lower than the alternative.

                Consumers include manufacturers, so technically producers too. Especially considering they consider tax in the final price. I know Americans don't tend to display the after tax price but Europeans do, so the autistic 0.99 requirement on the price tag has to be calculated.
                In fact VAT is supposed to be """better""" for producers as it taxes them """less""" than Sales Tax, but ultimately that depends on how much they're being taxed, not how they're only being taxed on the value added at each stage. Like how a poll tax is fine if everyone only pays a cent or penny a year but not if it's triple digits in a strong currency.

                I have no idea what your incoherent rambling was supposed to convey, but the cost of VAT is borne fully by the end consumer of the good, exactly the same as with sales tax.

          People can cope and seethe about it taking 2 years to not be shit but the player count will go up. The only exception was Imperator, and this game isn't Imperator.

      Despite what they've said, it's just a bit more moddable than Victoria 2. You may have UI mods, AI mods and alternate histories, along with some extra content, but that's it. War goals are unmoddable, SFX is unmoddable, there's only one bookmark, there's no documentation etc. Some mods add custom buildings, but they're not as popular because they don't work with the AI mod. There's no scripted GUI either, meaning that you have to work with the in-game systems, but these systems have piss poor moddability. They've also tailored the game to work exactly like a 19th century simulator with weird quirks like no land actually being empty, so you're out of luck on TCs.

    Was France nerfed somehow, or is the British embargo on them just so efficient that even Russia and Austria have a lot bigger GDP than french?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      I sincerely apologize for linking to Reddit, but here's an explanation by the Russian voodoo AI mage.

      > You know the story. Release patch (which was already 1.0.3) was quite problematic, with three hotfixes required to make it bearable. Then we got patch 1.1 with 4 dev diaries to hype it up that fixed and broke the game in roughly equal proportions. First hotfix was underwhelming, but then the second one was actually quite good... except it broke AI even further than before.

      > Patch notes contain a "we improved how AI invests in ports" in three parts, and as the result AI-controlled Britain and France have around 150M GDP in 1900s, often even lower. Not even talking about smaller coastal nations. These "improvements" led to AI prioritizing nothing but ports, only to then delete all of them after going bankrupt, surprising Canada and Australia players with no market access. Meanwhile Austria is stronger than ever, as having a relatively small number of port slots made it free from this disease.

      > Now, as the author of a well-known AI mod (that is free of all this nonsense), I can honestly say I don't like ports. They require the most complex logic out of all the buildings due to the amount of functions they have. And that's exactly why you don't mess with said logic at this scale if you are not sure it'll work properly and are not planning to release patches anytime soon!

      > Usually I'm not the one to start this shit cause it all is not as simple as you would think, but I don't know what else to say... has anyone tested this, like it all? I mean, it happens nearly every game from the get go, how did this make it into release 1.1.2 build?

    Game has near zero flavor events or chains. Pretty much all events stems from technologies which is boring. Also migration system needs tweaking. Trying to play Greece the Peloponesseus will depopulate when you want to turn it into a resource factory for wood/iron and people will still leave to go be peasant farmers in the capital because capital market modifier.

      Migration is fricked overall. New world nations like USA get jack shit of migration, unless they adopt multiculturalism, which opens the flood gates to african tribesman to immigrate en masse, although even after that most of them still go to France/UK. I honestly think old world countries should be locked out of open immigration until at least the 1900s. Same for multiculturalism and feminism.

        African countries having access to markets, especially landlocked ones is moronic. A landlocked country should not be sending immigrants at all overseas.

          Pops from "decentralized" and "unrecognized" polities should probably be disallowed from emigrating entirely, though an exception could be placed on some like China. Or they would need a certain SOL and an access to a port.

            China shouldn't send any and should have no immigrants sent unless your country wins a war to open market. But open market ideally would work as a country-by-country basis. Market not open to you? No immigrants sent your way. China should automatically start with closed markets to everyone, except for those who get a treaty port. Perhaps it might be best tied up with the politics decisions, I dunno.

                In the case of China they had a full on collapse of the government before they started sending immigrants out to south america. Many arrived to the US but the US also benefited from the treaty port wars in China. US didn't have to fight for one, China just ceded it rather than fight for it

              It's true though. The game just completely fails to simulate cultural/ethnic tensions and language barriers (among ither things) so the abstractions in place don't really satisfy any comparison with reality. It's also why immigration is broken in the game, because there aren't enough details to properly simulate the movement of pops across nations and states

                I remember doing a summer job at a museum and reading Victorian accounts of English workers and Irish workers having mass brawls and race riots in Victorian Middlesbrough

                The English were an amalgam of English and Scots who had previously fought one another

                The descendants of those English, Scots and Irish, all considering themselves English, were collectively fricked over and demoralised by deindustrialization and only scattered groups of skinheads extend the traditional greetings to new communities of South Asians and Eastern Europeans. I assume the descendants of the English, Irish, Scottish, Polish and Lithuanians who call themselves English will carry on the traditional beatings and hostility to incomers in their own way. The Asians are a bit more like the Ashkenazi - an obvious and endogenous minority who speak a slightly accented version of the language and who stick to their own. Their may be ovens and persecution in their future if shit goes south

                I mean, one of the biggest influences for immigration to the new world is the abundance of land but that's pretty difficult to model outside of fat bonuses. But who knows, maybe Victoria 4 wil have land prices and model ownership so new world governments can sell off land at cheap prices to entice people to move.

                how did victoria 2 reflect it better
                all it did was add a migration pull modifier
                if you turn it into a state, they will migrate to other parts of your country lmao

                also keep in mind, "assimilation" in victoria 2 might have hid from you the fact that Black folk are migrating to the UK

                The only way to have joggers immigrate to your country in Vic 2 was to conquer a part of Africa and then change it from a colony to a state (which was very difficult as you had to get a load of your accepted culture pops to move there)
                In Vic 3 all you need is one law to get blacked

            I knew that it's going to be bad but wanted to see how bad it is, it's actually really horrible and much worse than ck3

            >the new war system can be moronic but i feel like if perfected it can be really realistic but we are probably not getting that without a DLC
            let's see:
            no logistics at all, no issue with sending troops to other side of the world
            if troops get encircled they just teleport back home without extra losses
            if general dies while being on front troops just teleport back to HQ and it will take them weeks to come back to the front
            front size doesn't make sense, Russia-Qing is one 5000+km front
            only one battle per front at once, despite having tons of generals and troops
            everything is sloooow, enemy having a general with 1 battalion will slow down "advancing the front" stage by 50%
            battles are extremely slow, one could think that when one side has 10k troops and another has 500 left, they would surrender but no, they will fight until the last man and their losses per day decrease with the number of men, battles usually lasts for week and even you have 10k troops they can't take a single province until the last "defender" is eliminated
            defeating a native uprising with 2000 troops takes more than a year during which you can't start wars
            naval warfare is joke, battles also last for weeks and the battle window is counting men instead of ships (they didn't even bother to change that)
            intercepting or defeating naval invasion should give heavy losses to attacker but no, forces just teleport back unscratched

            you can write the same about economy, population, internal politics etc.
            it's over, you can't salvage it without a complete rewrite and it's not going to happen

            the pop mechanics are actually worse than vic2, how the frick does it make sense that each level of factories need exactly 600 capitalists? Why can't capitalists just exist like in vic2 and gain wealth by expanding factories while retaining their share of wealth/ownership? Why is it so easy for peasants to move to work in factories? Why does building more barracks cause more enlistment, rather than enlistments putting pressure on existing barracks? POPs being so intrinsically tied to buildings makes POPs worthless on their own. They have no agency since every pound they earn, every job they get, every single promotion they recieve, is all because the player clickedd a button to build a building. They do nothing without player intervetion. How the frick is that any good?

              I remember sometimes looking at the pop list in victoria 2 just to see how my country is developing. Small amount of primary pops immigrating to colonies, overall number of craftsman rising, literacy rates going up and people going militant or not due to fulfillment of their needs. It felt like your country was slowly but surely improving. Now with how promotion mechanics work in vic 3, the only thing I ever cared for was the number of peasants and unemployed in any of my states.

      >researched tech
      >selected optimal production methods
      >grew my economy
      But after all these things... I really didn't know what else there was to do, diplomacy and war seem completely pointless, colonisation seems shit unless you're one of the nations with a really strong start.
      I also had the best Standard of Living in the world, over 50% higher than the next best country but nearly every one of my pops was rebelling because of minor recessions.
      I wanted to like the game but it's slow, runs like shit and there is frick-all to do, it really did feel like an idle clicker/mobile game

      Yeah, never played Vic 2 but I always heard how it was Paradox best game or something like that, when Vic 3 got announced I was looking forward to see a modernized Vic 2 and what it was all about but after pirating it and playing for 2 hours as Belgium I was very disappointed, was this the amazing gameplay I heard about? Looks like those mobile games where you click stuff so you can click some more, it was so goddamn boring

      I'm still debating myself if I should try it again or just free that space on my hard drive and download Vic 2 instead to see the original with my own eyes

    I think it was meant to be a mobile game and they changed it to the next Victoria game. Whatever the case, it's clearly rushed, as the base game was released with next to nothing and doesn't look finished.

    Doing a bit of research here.
    If you dont mind just answer the following question by choosing one of the answers.

    When playing Victoria 3 do you:
    (a) Have a sudden and unexpected bowel movement which forces a dash for the toilet?
    (b) Drop a long stinky turd down your pants which thankfully gets snagged around your knees before it hits the carpet?
    (c) Let rip with EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA which splatters LIQUID SHIT all around the room?
    (d) Dunno, my arse got torn to shreds and I'm now in hospital getting a rectum transplant. I dont remember anything.

      Cookie Clicker

      I never played vicky2, most of my time in paradox games is on ck2, I really didn't understand what I was supposed to do on vicky3
      >expanded buildings
      >researched tech
      >selected optimal production methods
      >grew my economy
      But after all these things... I really didn't know what else there was to do, diplomacy and war seem completely pointless, colonisation seems shit unless you're one of the nations with a really strong start.
      I also had the best Standard of Living in the world, over 50% higher than the next best country but nearly every one of my pops was rebelling because of minor recessions.
      I wanted to like the game but it's slow, runs like shit and there is frick-all to do, it really did feel like an idle clicker/mobile game

      the fact this thread is always nothing but moronic bait should tell you enough, the game is built of a broken concept and boils down to clicking around to upgrade factories, everything that made victoria 2 the flawed but loved game that it was is absent in the "sequel", unless they overhaul it completely it has no hope.

        the only way to fix it would be to make another game, the whole mindset of the game is flawed

        its like hoi4: economy is boring, politics are boring, diplomacy is boring, and instead of passable warfare game you have the pic of two generals standing to each other making goofy faces

        So wait and come back until paradox releases their mandatory dlcs before trying this game. It is a shame.

        I still can't believe how slow they are with fixing the game or doing anything with it. It is almost the exact same scenario as total war(hammer), which has its fanbase dwindling into nothingness.

        Pic related, pretty much all of the critics during the development are vindicated.

      He’s mocking the treads themselves, rather. Pooposting only really became a thing a few months after the war dd and a little before launch, likely as a regular shitpost at first. The problem is, by that point in time pretty much all discussion of vic3 was exhausted so the pooposts were basically the only actually interesting thing about those threads. The reason he’s still here is because discussions keep on looping back to the same stuff. There’s nothing new. It’s all the same shit. So why not add a little more shit to these threads?

        Hard agree. I believe the poos poster ( or posters, might be more than one ) is just applying the old saying about a barrel of cream and a barrel of shit. If you add a drop of cream to a barrel of shit you have a barrel of shit. If you add a drop of shit to a barrel of cream you have a barrel of shit.

    Well, that's it, I tried way more than I should have to make this shit game at least runnable an entire playthrough, but no matter what, the performances always go to shit.

    Pic related: 0 cultural fragmentation, very minor religious fragmentation most areas are 100% catholic, some are 100% buddhist, but for some unknown reason some rare places are still fragmented), but the game still freeze at every week turn, and adding buildings to the queue takes a few seconds every click.

    I'm guessing, without certainty, that the simple fact that the pop works in different farm/factories fragment them, and hence ruin the performances.

    Idk why I tried to make it work, even if the performances were better the game is still shit, but for real I don't understand how anyone, out of QA, devs, youtube shills, "video game journalists" or redditors, played more than a handful of hours and think "this is fine".

      This would seem to be the main reason, along with the calculations for internal migration.
      Have you tried deleting most buildings so you'll just have one mega building for each factory and plantation? This should at least in theory improve the performance after all the internal migration settles down. Did you do this with your mod that gives and removes homelands? Would you mind sharing it?

        Nope nope nope. Every click takes 5-6 seconds to register, even ctrl+click only delete them 10 by 10, so just for coal mines, that's 990 clicks, >80 minutes.

        Really I wasn't posting to brag about the WC, my game files are so altered I should have just looked up console commands, just to prove that cultural fragmentation isn't what fricks up the game. Or at least not the only thing.

    I think the poo poster is actually a false flag. His implied criticism, presumably that Vitoria 3 is such a shitty game it will make you poo uncontrollably, is just too simplistic. By making such a ridiculous accusation it attracts attention from players who enjoy the game and who make counter posts, pointing out how good Victoria 3 actually is. Since their posts make a lot more sense the poo poster is discredited, along with all the other people shitting on the game.

      Dude, look through this thread.
      There's not a single argumentative answer to his poooposts. The game is that bad I guess (I only played leaked beta though, don't know)

    Like all Paradox games, I feel like the game needs some more flavour for different countries and cultures. This game has many flaws and isn't that good of a successor to Vic2 but it hits a very personal sweet spot of mine I only get from playing things like Waterworks! on Newgrounds and treating the civ games like a type of city builder.

    I wonder if the poo-poster will join us in the next Victoria 3 thread? I hope so. I have sorta grown attached to the lil' fellah.

      As long as the game remains this shit I'm sure the poo-poster will return to literally shitpost this game to death. Victoria 3 is such a massive disappointment nobody is discussing game strategies or how to "beat" the game. This thread took almost two weeks to fill up, its getting slower and slower.

    Is Victoria3 is actually worst tortanic of 4x games of all times? I have never seen a game which is laggy and fundamentally broken as much as victoria3. Its a total disaster which cannot be salvaged.

      At least it released feeling like it had something worth salvaging. Imperator took until the moment it was cancelled to reach the point of feeling like there was something worth building on. I'd be willing to bet a small amount of money that Victoria 3 has enough of a desperate fanbase that it'll make it through the redesign process Imperator couldn't. I'd bet a substantially larger amount of money that the process won't involve Wiz.

        Every kernel of a decent idea in V3 has been implemented so terribly that they'd have to be rebuilt from zero to be "salvaged" into something decent.

    Paradox is fricking moronic
    >tries to simulate France, the Bonapartists and the brief republic period before the establishment of the second empire.
    >to do so, makes Charles Louis Napoleon (known as Napoleon III) head of the armed forces
    and this is where Paradox fricks everything up
    >they also make him a royalist (so he has the desire to reimplement the monarchy, should it be removed)
    BUT, because he's a Royalist, and that personal traits have no influence whatsoever, and that Coups aren't a thing, the ONLY thing it does is guarantee that at every turn, he'll suck the King's wiener.
    He won't ever accept the monarchy being removed, even if the main goal is to destitute the b*rbon king and put him in charge.

    France, as far as I've seen, needs an actual reviolution that shuffles the government about to even have a chance at stepping off monarchy.

    Paradox made the most unstable western europe country into the epitome of stability.
    Can't wait for a DLC to fix that mess

      They are trying their best anon, small indy company please understand.
      And you are racist, the french republic/empire/republic was a beacon of stability and its people were not as important for the course of history as the various bantu tribes in africa!

    How do you play as economically weak nations? I can't build anything without going into debt.

      Go into debt to get rich, like getting a loan to start a business

      Alternatively, kill any military you have
