Minor quibble

[Arilou]

I was a bit disappointed that there was no "history" and "strategy" for the relevant countries, like in EU2. It is, of course, nothing gamebreaking, but it would have been nice

I would have bet my last pair of sox that this was in! It was always great to read up on the history of El Salvador or Tannu Tuva in the time before WWII.

Nothing major, right, but it was a good moodsetter before you started a game - and sometimes it helped you establish some goals for a game. And the strategy was also fun reading, although I rarely followed them Too bad it isn't in, but like you said - its far from an important part of the game.

I'd have liked them to be there. It did help you some to get the bearings on the surroundings, like who you'd been to war with, and what historically was the goal of the nation.

We had to cut them down, as the cost for translating just those 200*4 texts would cost the same as another full month of development.

I'll write my own instead

Sweden counguered entire europe by 1700 and started colonizing africa, in the same time america grew powerful and by 1836 a huge war resulted....

Yeah, I also loved those texts in EU and HOI.
And they would have been very helpful in Vicky for those of us who are not so good at history.

I can imagine people who don´t now anything about history will be perplexed as to why some countries start of with constant revolts for isntance. *lol*


Anyway..I´m sure there are plenty of people who think it will be great fun to write descriptive texts for many of the nations.
