OK so this is a thread to show Paradox that there's still interest in Victoria II and hopefully if we get their attention enough they show our game some love (again) by creating an expansion.

Basically your job should you choose to accept it is twofold:

1. Never let this post disappear off the first page.

2. Recruit your Paradox loving, Victoria II playing friends to come here and support the cause.

Feel free to discuss which features you want Paradox to include in the next expansion pack and I'll try to update the OP with the most popular ones.

Can we use bodily fluids to sign that? Preferably blood but I'm open to suggestions. In any case, definitely signed.

I'd like another expansion. Combat isn't quite enjoyable yet.. and diplomacy isn't on par with the concert of europe.

Plus I'd like to see how EUIV turns out before Vicky gets the CKII makeover.

It really is the one game where aspergic levels of complexity are better than a pretty UI and map.

I hope it never gets that new map. I love it, it just doesn't fit the period. Mountains weren't so daunting anymore, planes, steam boats lowered transportation times, the natural world wasn't a daunting place anymore.

I think it's more the amount of forum activity, especially the dev interaction, for vicky 2 in comparison to the other games that makes it feel like we might be "forgotten".

I'm with "AM300307". The HOI3 chain of command system is what military management is all about.
I must have spent hours setting it up in my first HOI3 game. I would like to see it in Vic2 or Vic3.

Signed, I'd love an expansion improving any of 3 things, military, diplomacy, or migration/colonization.

Exactly why I don't want to want it. I feel like I should be getting payed for doing it, its so tedious.

V2 is a great game. I'm coming back to it after CK2, and I'm really enjoying how much more there is to do all the time (fiddling with the economy, etc.). That being said, it could use some improvements, especially in terms of diplomacy. There needs to be a way to join wars (something they added in CK2). And wars should be settled in peace conferences involving all the parties, not just between the 2 war leaders (something I'm hoping they'll have in EU4).

I think it would be nice, especially with an option to automate units just like in HoI3, but with better AI. Or at least make it so battle groups can be formed and perform semi-automation with given tasks so that you don't need to command each division. That takes a lot longer imho.

Things that I would like to see include:
- Updated engine (to allow more functionality to the script to give more freedom to modders)
- Re-worked diplomacy and state system (something akin but not a clone of a mix of HoI3 and CKII. The idea of ministers and other governmental personnel definitely needs to be an addition)
- Improved military and combat, and more variety of units
- A lot of new techs and inventions
- Different music depending on culture. Seriously, european style music does not fit the ottomans or chinese.
- maybe more

I can wait until they finish their latest HOI3 expansion. But this should be their next small project. /signed

I'd like to see Great Wars expanded to include the "Dismantle Nation" wargoal, so you don't have to add 9001 wargoals to take all of the enemy's colonies and free as many states as possible(though that might be better for a patch)
