Good, good. The world conquest can commence. Now I eagerly await the Johan mime project's results.

Quote Johan, 7:40 am: "Today I will demo Victoria 2 as a mime."

Dear King,

The concept of war goals are great. Will there be any incentives for the player* and the AI to fulfil their allies War Goals as well as their own?

* Besides role-play

 

[Ankios]

Those war goals sounds totally great. Paradox might have just created the best negociation system during wars any game ever proposed ! This should be really enjoyable and much more realistic !

Pretty much the same incentive you have for not letting your allies get crushed.

I would guess that not helping them would damage relations with them, maybe increase your Badboy points and maybe decrease your prestige.

 

[Galaahd]

Uhm, it doesn't say much. Seems very promising, though.

I think I remember reading something about loosing a war or failing to achieve a war goal affecting public order so the player as well as the AI actually has something to loose when fighting wars.

I can't 100% confirm this is true though.

Thank you. A certain substitute for the dev diary.

 

[Ex Mudder]

Yes

Ooh... nice. I like the projects screenie. Looks like building RRs and factories will not be as quick and easy as it was in Revolutions. And look at how many artisans there are voting in the UK!

 

[unmerged(164401)]

these screens were available on the official site of Vicky. are they going to show us the press demo?

 

[gamer42_au]

I am pretty sure that devs have said that achieving war goals lowers militancy and not achieving them increases unrest.
So you want to have a realistic idea of what to aim for at the start, with a balance between the amount of cost, war exhaustion etc required to get the necessary war success for a particular goal and the benefits of achieving the goals - knowing that over-reach will have more than usual effects (but asking for more than original goals will add to negative perceptions).

 

[Thormodr]

Sounds great. War goals will make warfare much more interesting and challenging I think. It's a big step in the right direction as far as realism goes as well.

Well done Paradox.
