Gameshark preview

[King]

Note: This lists release date as Q1, which I'm sure is a mistake.

That is probably a typo.

What on earth is "min-maxing" in the RTGS genre?

Ever played the original Victoria and maxed out health care reform before any of the others?

 

[King]

Is the game playable now for them to preview?

No, I basically sat down with the reviewers and showed them some of the interfaces, talked a bit about what we were doing and then answered questions.

 

[King]

Victoria wasn't queen of England, she was queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Also it says that the technology system is "relatively untouched". Is this true?

Yes

 

[King]

Ah. I see. No. So it's jargon for lack of balance in strategic choice. I agree with that criticism for V1 - intense data depth but little process breadth - but hope it doesn't apply to Victoria 2.

Well the goal is to give you reasons to use the choices we give you. You are under no obligation to use them, but you should think about it.

 

[King]

We are not aiming for 50/50 choices as such. More the notion that a particular choice should never always be the right choice.
