How Many levels of Sprites will there be?

Please stick to the topic at hand, thanks.

the only civilised nation in Europe is France.

I see you never been to Europe.

Btw, wait for the game is launched at get exited about it instead or if you really wanna know, go read an AAR maybe.

Will we be able to create completely new sprites for tanks and airplanes? And will we be able to create new ones for ships so we can create aircraft carriers and the like for a modern day mod.

There have been sprite mods in pretty much every Paradox game, so I can't imagine why not.

They will probably do it like in HOI3 and release country specific sprites for €1.

How sad. Early on, it was said that multiple levels were in the works, growing with the country, or something like that.

Still, if that's the biggest feature that didn't make it through design, Vicky 2 will be amazing.

This. Probably. But I think they will do it for all the countries as there isn't as many sprites needed as HOI.

Hold on, by "two levels" you mean that 3d model will change at certain date (or after certain invention)?

I believe that is how it is intended to work, yes (via tech IIRC)

Probably when you reach certain army tech. It wouldn't make sense for Japan to have samurai sprites when they're using machine guns.

Can we add additional levels through modding?

That's a good news. I think at the beginning Kind said that it was going to be just one model per country.
Thanks for answer.

Except for the Clausewitz engine games. HoI3 has extra sprites but you need to pay for them. I just would like to create them myself.

2 per most major countries isn't enough?

 

[Inner Circle]

Maybe there will come more sprites, but as DLC i assume...

Well, there were drastic changes in most countries between 1836 and 1900s, which I assume is when the second ones show up.

That said, that's what DLC is for, and it's not really game breaking by any means.

 

[DeathAndDecay]

On a sprite related note, will we be likely to see sprite and music DLC (ala HOI3) for Vicky II?

I have not bought any of the sprite packs for HOI3 simply because I exclusively play that game with counters, but I would eagerly gobble up any sprite packs for Vicky II.

 

[Pickle_mole]

Is it possible to increase the level of sprites? or is that a "hard coded" thing?

It's really not. Maybe if the game ended in 1900...

I would Be Perfectly happy with 4 levels

Level one 1836-1850 or so

Level two 1850-1880 or so

Level three 1880-1905 or so

level four 1905-1936 or so
