Really? including the navy and airforce?
I think there are some small improvements to be made (i.e. blockades playing more of a role), but certainly not making it so complex like HoI3 (which is what IIRC FelixCress had advocated in a previous thread). I think it would be better if V2's military system remained about as simple as it is at present.
maybe the clue is for the DLC itself, Paradox is still undecided about what to do and have only 75% of progress in that direction!
if by simple, you mean balls-in-a-vice tedious gopher-whack while sitting on a cactus and listening to Adele...
half the time I deliberately play pacifist to avoid the current system
edit:
As a side note though, perhaps some of 'March of the Eagles' Combat mechanics will be ported over to Vicky??

The only change off the top of my head I would make to the current system would be adding back the "can only retreat to friendly-owned provinces" that existed in V1.
and attacking from neutral countries with military access..
I'd like some degree of automation, eradication of the 'meat grinder' (it's basically an exploit), and perhaps events related to the war. More emphasis on the strategic as opposed to tactical doomstack movement.
More decisive battles...
It won't be a "DLC" it will be an "extension" like AHD, because Victoria 2 still follows the good old extension pack business model of yore.
Speaking of battle events, it would be nice if they made the rebel creation event effect actually work.
The two clues do seem to point towards a substantial expansion, and one which improves some aspects of industrialisation and the social unrest. Very much looking forward to this, and hoping for another cryptic clue tomorrow. (Although, a full announcement tomorrow would of course be even more welcome)
No, it's not. It is inferior even to Vic1. They simply used the system from EU3. Major overhaul of this one is I think the only expansion I would be seriously interested in.
Edit: and no, I never advocated HoI-style system for Vic, as it is too complex.
From free dictionary:
"on the fence"
Undecided as to which of two sides to support; uncommitted or neutral
Politics? Rebels?
"on the fence"
Undecided as to which of two sides to support; uncommitted or neutral
Politics? Rebels?
I would think that "on the fence" is very common during wars, for example, "Spain was "on the fence" during WW2".
Maybe it is just my brain trying to convince myself that this is about a WWI expansion, but the clue "on the fence" does associate to coalitions (or maybe in the political system). Anyways, like someone else said previously, the best part of this clue is that it shows that they are working on a proper expansion, not just a graphic pack. I'm a happy Victorian! :laugh:
A lot to say. Smarter AI forming fronts. Armies not retreating through enemy lines. Terain modifiers and perhaps some units with terrain bonuses. Two kind of attack, as in Vic1: shock attack to destroy morale or normal attack. Better naval combat. Perhaps a little bit of real air units. Forts which work as fortifications, not as medieval castles.
So, if you compare to current awful system it IS major overhaul. I would say: Vic1+
It obviously is a revolutions/rebel/political dlc or the pictures wouldn't be centered around Manchester.
