Missions and focus trees

[Arbus]

Following EUIV, HoI4 and Imperator, I think it's pretty safe to assume Vicky 3 will also have mission trees.

The question is, which model will it follow? I believe Imperator's mission tree system is the one that would work best in Vicky 3. For those who don't know, in Imperator you chose a mission type, say "conquer Italia", and within that mission tree you have to fulfill different objectives, getting some bonus along the way, until you finally conclude the mission tree and switch to a new one, like "develop Italia". This would also work in Vicky 3, and the mission types would be internal development (industrialize your home states), colonial development (industrialize the colonies), war/diplomatic goals within your own continent (unify germany), and war/diplomatic goals abroad (the scramble for Africa).

What's your opinion? Do you think we'll see a system like Imperator, HoI4, EU4 or something else?

I think I would actually prefer we don't have any kind of Mission/Focus tree this time.

Hi, I believe it was stated the game wasn't going to have a mission system.

Personally (and judging from the forums I'm in the minority) I like the EU4 mission trees. It gives your game some purpose. I just hate the overpowered PU fests like Austria, Spain and France get.

Search the forum for Dev responses. Mission/Focus trees are not part of the game as of the current state of development.

This, I don't want railroaded paths regardless of how many paths you give me. Victoria 2 did national and global evolution just fine with only sparing events and decisions and while it could be more in depth missions and focus trees wouldn't help that.

And the next expansion is: Miskito kingdom mission AND focus trees. Once you have completed a focus, you also finish a mission. Switch between your focus and mission tree screen, while watching your mission trees growing into mission forests. Develop your own mission tree policy focuses, depending on which missions you want to exclude from your tree. Watch your trees grow in size and hetch them by pouring focused water over them.

You can even plant your mission trees ingame, using handcrafted 3D models.

Don't like your tree anymore? Focus on it and imagine a mission animal! It will do your bidding, once you fulfill its special focus requirements.

And finally: Don't let your focus drift away! Keep being briefed on your current mission using Miss Ion's laser focus mobile app!
