Twitter Teasers Thread

I must say it is quite interesting that a puppet state can get split between loyalists and independence movement - one of many things in vic 3 afaik without precedent in previous paradox titles

While this is interesting, and loyalists' representation during colony independence wars was surely lacking in PDS games, I wonder what mechanism decides which side gets which states. I'm not at all sure that it's the realistic idea to be dividing the people by territory, instead of giving the former overlord massive intelligence bonuses scaled with its support (and if its support is more than 80%, independence uprising should just not start).

so how should they be depicted?

I guess he means the entire subject flips to rebellious?

I think this seems a bit better as the overlord surely has some kind of garrison force stationed there that the rebels would have to overcome.

Norway-Sweden.

To be honest, I don't know.
I proposed a system where every state will go to the rebels, but with logistic, intel and even combat bonuses for the overlord if its support among colony population is strong.
But I don't really like my own proposal, it's clumsy. Also I don't think colonial pops can be interested or uninterested in the politics of the overlord, nor can they support or dislike their dependent status (which is a big shame as it stems from pops not really caring about foreign policy, which is really distorting to the simulation).

Do you have an idea in mind?

not really. it seems fine the way it is.

Quick reply to the replies to my previous post :

Bruxelles, is a Walloon city. I never hear any Flemish on the street in that city.

For the time period VIctoria 3 represents, it is a bilingual city, and even further back it was a predominantly Flemish city.

Haxorus is correct.

Historically it's Flemish, by the start time of Vicky it's some mixture of Flemish and French, and today it's a mixture of like a hundred cultures (with a plurality French-speaking people from different cultures). I'd never call it Walloon, though.

Wiz said last week that there wouldn't be a teaser from him this week either. Probably because of the Easter holiday.

Thanks. Out of curiosity, where did he say this? His latest tweets said no tweets the two weeks gone, but nothing about this week. Well, I guess we'll have a tweet from the official twitter in 6 min.

Kansas is bleeding! If a compromise is not reached soon, this has the chance of spiraling out of control - or maybe even war.

wichita is waco!

A little weird that cities are so far off from the river, but I guess they'll fix it in post. Also I liked the name of the thread mark.

RIP Wichita. Looks like Dodge city dodged that bomb

Actually, my bad. I was looking at the tweet from the 5th and thought it was posted a week later. I think it's still mainly because of the Easter holiday combined with the AAR being last week. Probably just didn't have time to get a teaser ready for this week.

The @PDXVictoria content design team has been hard at work with map revisions to the state and region borders. Though the overall work is far from done, here's a sneak peek at how things are currently looking in South America.
