Some 1.4 Teaser Screenshots..

[Zorgoth]

Historical map of Africa :

What year is that map from? Is it post-Boer war?

There's VIP for this.

I have no interest in VIP. Don't get me wrong, but I don't want all the baggage just for unification occuring more often.

Johan said 1894. So before.

Good to see screenshots must mean 1.4 will be finished soon!

15 days, tentative.

I was actually refering to the nice map that was posted for comparison, sorry if that was not clear.

 

[Charest]

Good job! I really like to see a part of what i'm waiting for!

Keep it up and maybe in two weeks my girlfriend will lose me for a couple of days!

 

[Gwalcmai]

What year is that map from? Is it post-Boer war?

Probably from around the start of WWI.

Then just use the events you want to. You are not obligated to use the whole of VIP if you'd prefer to just use specific parts.

Exactly. VIP is not an all-or-nothing mod. Perfectly legitimate to select the parts you like for your own use and not use the rest. Just save VIP to a desktop folder and pick-n-choose.

Great work on the colonialism bit! But, doesn't it look a bit odd that tanks cost less than cars, have the factory input files been re-worked too?

For the love of all that is holy...they are at least worth something now

I admit to not having played Victoria much lately (will definitely change that when the patch comes though) but I seem to remember tanks usually going for 5-600£ in the games I played. And for the record, I wouldn't mind if the factory input files were changed. I was just asking about something that surprised me, so no need for the .

my only fear ist that the colonization will be finate now. i hope it varys game by game, in terms of who gets where (i do like that i don't see any noncolonizing powers in that picture)

Well, I hate to run the risk of appearing to look a gift horse in the mouth here, but I fear exactly the same. I'm not going to make any judgements until I see the change log at least, and even them I wouldnt jump to conclusions until I've played it some, but I hope that the new patch is not VIP-lite.

 

[Moltke]

Same here, I never played VIP (though I respect the mod-movement) and so wouldn't appreciate having it dumped into the stock game.

But then I shouldn't complain whatever the changes, because even in 1.3 Victoria is still my favorite game of all time.

Agreed 100%.

I dont care if the AI knows how to claim colonies and make colonial buildings better than before, that is a step up.

But I will be disappointed if we get forced historical colonization.

My thoughts exactly.
