Magnates in V3

[DM818]

Something that I always felt was not well represented in Victoria II was the capitalists themselves they are all roughly equivalent and interchangeable. It would be interesting if capitalists were able to build up a larger base and become a character who makes an individual impact on the nation.

It doesn't look like we're going to get this at release, but I would bet $2000 and a bag of phallus shaped gummies that corporations and magnates will be the subject of a dlc. Probably called 'Captains of Industry' or something similar.

I say so. If Paradox should manage to present a functioning system in Vicky III, I will ask for corporations and banks as independent agents for Vicky IV. Then I'll play Rockefeller and build my business empire. At the moment I would be happy if what was announced is fulfilled.

Something like that demands quality of goods and at least a system of credit

Yeah, unfortunately Paradox seems to not want capitalists to be individual actors economically.

I'd say "that depends."

None of the previous games have included any sort of individual actors as well, and if they decided to go down a path like this to differentiate the top level capitalists to simulate your Rockefellers and Carnegies, then there would changes to the core system built around their inclusion.

It would be super cool, but I doubt we'll see anything like this in Victoria 3 - especially at launch. But I have no idea of what the engine is capable of doing, so who knows. It would be so cool to see people like John Rockefeller, who might be considered the wealthiest man ever to have lived, represented as an actor in American politics.

The game is not designed to simulate families. In the long term, one could at most introduce soulless corporations. But even that is more for Part IV.

Oh, I agree. I doubt we'll be seeing anything like this in Victoria 3, but it would be cool nonetheless. I do, however, think it should be possible for historical characters to spawn, and to shape the interests of interest groups, depending on how these interest groups actually work.
