AHD - What do you think?

[Johan]

This the expansion we've added the most features to that we have ever made, so we want to hear what you think..

Post feedback here, and vote for what you think!


(Yes, I voted 5/5 myself, I've just been playing it and commenting on progress, while the dev team did all the work..)

 

[Millipede69]

I would have given 5/5 if there were naval rally points to go with army rally points...

Ill change my vote if this feature is in fact included and I have just been too dull to notice it somewhere!

 

[Tormodius]

Hey, secret ballots are definitly not implemented in this vote!

I can see Johan voted 5/5 and by this information i can blackmail him! hah

 

[Myrten]

4/5

These improvements were badly needed, although few things could be better this game is now much more enjoyable. But there is still room for next major expansion

 

[palmus]

I voted 4/5. I would've given 5/5 if:
- I could change the camera to legacy camera
- The borders were visible when being maximum zoomed out
- The Ottoman Empire said "OTTOMAN EMPIRE" all over the empire and not just the european part. Just like in EU3 and the alpha/beta/or whatever screenshots of V2.

Sorry i simply did not have the time to get enough into it to allow myself a vote.

What makes me wonder is that you say it has more features than any update before.

On my 1st view it is mainly an inprovement to the interface
My favorite improvement is : that you can see in the production screen which of your pop's use a specific
good.
To the gameplay improvement (what's personally the most important for me ) i can say not much at the moment.

Features i currently know of are :

- Foreign Investments & investment in Projects
- A new Reform (School system)
- Political changes (Communists , Uncivilized Nations etc)
- PoP's belong to Political Movements before they maybe become rebels
- Improvement of the interface (including staff like sending armys to rebel hunt etc)
- More Sprites
- A new Scenario

I still miss submarines and an VICII to HOI III converter -
And i want the VIC I feeling...so most important for me will be how important it is to
industrialize

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also i think that a poll at the START of an expansion (sell) does not make much sense - the value of it is not very high.
So - i will play it a bit THAN vote

Mostly good, just needs a few tweaks, like how powerful prestige has become compared to Military and Industrial Score.

Three negative points:

* Events now pause game when triggered, very annoying.
* New camera
* No "expand all" factory button (or is it there and I can't see it for some reason)

Other than that, I love AHD so far and certainly don't regret buying it. 4/5

I believe "expand all" is done by either CTRL+Click or Shift+click...

Voted 4/5 myself...

 

[RedRalphWiggum]

I'm hardly unbiased, but I think it's the best Paradox expansion to date.

 

[SuiciSpai]

mmm, ask this again next week, at the moment, in three hours of play, its ok.

 

[Esben_DRK]

I think the expansion is fantastic, so I'll vote 5/5 for the expansion pack.

HOWEVER, I am sad that I actually (Back when V2 was coming out) expected the game to be in the state it is currently.

 

[Alistus]

I like how the economy is handled now and game feels overall much more polished than plain Vicky2. What i found lacking was that i still see no game play reason not to choose some political reforms which makes me a bit detached from the political system of the game. Mass exodus of Indians to Australia and Canada seemed a bit ridiculous as well.

 

[gibbel]

I also voted 4/5.

The new feautres are great, especially the war justification system. Foreign investment is also a very good idea but unfortunately with the current ecomomic balance the factories you build in other countries don't stay open very long. I'm afraid I don't quite understand how movements work yet, but I think I'll some place where I can look it up. I haven't played any uncivic yet, so I can't judge the new westerization system but the idea of more gradual westernization seems good.

Why not 5/5? Well, the most important reason is the ecomomic balance. I realize that finding the right balance is the most difficult task when working on Victoria II but the current balance hampers the fun factor quite a lot. I'm not saying it isn't playable but not quite perfect yet. Other feature that I would have liked if they were included would be naval rally point (the army version is good) and separate auto-create buttons for generals and admirals.

All in all a very good expansion thatt adds a lot to the game.

- The Ottoman Empire said "OTTOMAN EMPIRE" all over the empire and not just the european part. Just like in EU3 and the alpha/beta/or whatever screenshots of V2.

If you change the continent Constantinople is in from Europe to Asia, then you get Ottoman Empire across the Asian holdings and Ottoman Europe across the Balkans.

Istanbul is province #860, and just go to Victoria II/maps/continent.txt to change it.

I was going to choose 6, but the dial did not go to 6. I used to have a amp that I could dial to 11, which is one more than 10, like 6 would be more than 5. Perhaps if you bought a new poll that you could dial to 6 since that's one better than 5.

 

[kemerover]

I like this expansion. I've voted 4/5 not 5/5, because there is also room for imagination and improvement. So I hope it's not the least addon.

 

[xGhost4000x]

4/5

Needs naval rally point OR a way to click+drag ONLY naval units.
Still needs Ottoman Empire to not only be in europe.
Needs internal coups to take over a government with limited fighting, instead of a massive nation wide rebellion.

 

[XXLPlakat]

5/5

But a legacy mode like the one in Sengoku would be nice.

 

[Kalelovil]

OR a way to click+drag ONLY naval units.

There already is.

Select a naval unit.
Then hold shift and drag a selection box around the naval units you want selected.
Only naval units will be selected.
