What would Steam(TM) have to do with save game conversion?
On a side note, I think with most of the events gone, and no more tech teams, it be a better system to convert Vicky2-HOI3 than Vicky1-HOI2 as the broken system of creating tech teams, and losing all your events made the game feel hollow.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this was confirmed.

Yes this is confirmed.

In other words:
Will Vicky II be the link between EU3 and HOI3 like Vicky I is for AU2 and HOI2??
I found this one of the best things of Cursader, EU2, Victoria and HOI2 was that you just shape your world at the start of the 100 year war and not at the start of WWII...
I know save file conversion isn't ez, but linking it to EU3 (HTTT) would be a pleasure for every paradox loving gamer![]()
Great to hear
A save game convert from EUIII would also be awesome, but then I have to buy EU first![]()

And will the converter be moddable?
Or maybe it's easier to just make an independent converter if changes in that area is desired...

UNLESS Victoria II or the new HoI3 expansion comes with a plug-in to add player controlled surrender conditions
while you will be able to import into HoI3, you wont be able to play it.

The guys playing The Great Game 3 will most probably make a HTTT -> Vicky 2 converter![]()

Conversion might be hollow though, what if in HoI3 the nations don't build anything except infantry, and just sit around aimless and unmotivated due to the political relationships and things like Revanchism etc not being converted properly? That's what happened with Ricky -> HoI2. It was a big disapointment for me turning Uruguay into a small but potent super-state ready to blossom into a Bolivian Empire in HoI2, only for everything to go pear shaped and the other nations stand around awkwardly like a bunch of jocks at a baby-shower.
Maybe the HoI3 War Goals system could be used to make conversion make sense... where the three faction leaders are selected on the basis of who of the most powerful has the closest system to Fascist, Democrat or Communist, that might help

HoI2 standard AI was stupider than a pair of boots. HoI3 has somewhat better standard AI, so it might be bit different. Random Scenario project might be good place to investigate this.
What would happen if you converted a save that included a nation like, Prussia for example, to HoI3? As far as I know, Prussia doesn't even exist in HoI3. Would it just become Germany or something?
Considering HoI III's gargantuan number of provinces, I expect the conversion, territorially, won't be as rough as Ricky->DD/ARMA.

This is a feature I'd really like to see. HoI3 is fun as is, but if it could be a continuation of my Victoria game, it would provide a very enjoyable late game when often this is where the game falls short.
