Secret Document. Clue two.

[FelixCress]

It obviously is a revolutions/rebel/political dlc or the pictures wouldn't be centered around Manchester.

Why not industrial?

The Industrial revolution happened further south.

The Industrial revolution happened further south [than Manchester]

Sorry, meant to write the Industrial Revolution started in Shopshire, which is further south than Manchester.

It depends how you view the statement. If it can be traced to an event, probably true. However, if viewed as a period of time and a series of events, then false. Manchester had almost 1/4 of all the industrial workes in the UK by 1835, and also other conditions which made it more favourable than alot of its established competitors.

Thanks paradox for updating my favourite game!
Im happy with whatever expansion you decide to do, but im really hoping for an AI naval upgrade since that would make warfare like 1000% better

 

[MKDELTA]

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.

This.

YAY, new stuff for my favorite paradox games.

Sorry ck2, I love you, but victoria 2 has 5000 hours on my steam.

The world's first industrial city called; it wants you to go read history Or at least to google the term 'world's first industrial city' and read the first page of hits.

 

[Darkath]

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)

They might tie industrialization with social unrest.

See those thousands of jobless crafters flowing out of your closed factories ? Well now they are the hundreds of Red Guard brigades you see flourishing on the map like poppies !

 

[Gwax23]

Cant freakin wait.

 

[MajorHeartfire]

This just made my weekend.

I feel ashamed for having not checked up on this in three days. Completely missed the first clue too.

The "on the fence" picture is intriguing because it could clearly mean a lot of different things. Hoping it has to do with politics. It is one of the things I've always thought the Vicky series specialized in (compared to HoI, EU, and CK). If it has to do with coalition building, then I'm fine with that too. I've always wanted a better way to build a coalition against Runaway Russia, or the Unfriendly United Kingdom.

Finally!
Needz moar Vicky II content!

Well there is the argument that Liverpool is actually the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, but that's a discussion for a different place. In order to model that theory, Paradox would have to work on the slavery mechanic, and I'd be happier if they instead polished up diplomacy, rebels, industry and the military aspects of the game.

More to the point, I hope they do developer diaries for this!

 

[GAGA Extrem]

Added espionage, better party system and/or improved rebel system would be neat.

How awesome would it be to work at Paradox. You would get paid AND know all about their upcoming products well before we do.

Actually it started in Derbyshire : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derwent_Valley_Mills I've visited several of those mills. There's not much else to do around here.

I really want to see the economy get some improvement in this expansion. Victoria 2 is entirely focussed arond the economy and yet gameplay-wise it is extremely lacking.

 

[leggbros]

I've been disappointed with Paradox lately but I'm positively thrilled with this news! I will be following this closely. Thank you!

The Abraham Darby's called, they want to know why you don't consider their role in the industrial revolution important.

Please be a rolled back time line expansion. Pretty, pretty please. The only big thing I dislike about V2 is that it is so short.
