I sure would like Vicky3, although i won't hold my breath as there's no guarantee that it would really be great.
But if there ever is to be a Vicky3, please let it be developed mostly by the HoI4 team, not the Stellaris one.
And most importantly, take your time!

Signed. In all honesty, Victoria III would probably have to exist before I would buy HoI4. I'm not interested in World War II games, so HoI does not appeal to me in and of itself. But if Victoria III existed, and I could play a mega campaign spanning from CK2 to EU4 to V3 to HoI4, I could see myself actually buying HoI4 just so I could do that. (Of course, if they both made V3 and revived the concept of a Cold War game so that mega campaign could run from the Middle Ages all the way to the present or near future, then my buying HoI4 would become a total certainty. But I'm not holding my breath for that.)

Honestly, I think Paradox's next big title will be Victoria 3. After HoI4 comes out, Victoria 2 will be the oldest of the newest of each series of games (if that makes sense).
I will enthusiastically pre-order it, even if the pre-order incentive package doesn't include a peaked pith helmet!

But if it did... oh myyyyyyyyy!

Yeah, everyone makes it sound like Vicky 2 was a masterpiece, but it also sounds far more complicated than, say, EU4. Hopefully, given what's happened with all the other series, Vicky 3 should be both an improved masterpiece and more noob-friendly. :)

It is, with the pop system and complicated economy (broken), but it is a great game and my favorite Paradox game. A remake, i am sure would make it a true masterpiece and i am going crazy waiting for it. Come on PARADOX!!!

Actually, the game moved along quite well. Trade and resources were things that took care of themselves most of the time, once one had one's economy in order, but there were always the late-game shortages of iron, coal, and steel, especially if China industrialized.

Especially with the New Nations Mod, the game moved from consolidation of borders/industrialization to scramble for Africa and Asia to heightened nationalistic tensions that lead to the Great War. It was different each time, yet the patterns molded into the game made each game seem "right", even if the lineup of the great powers in 1910 was anything but historically accurate.

I won't go into what would be needed to make a Vicky3 a better game than Vicky2, but there surely are some features in games like EU, CK, and HOI that would be welcome additions to the Victoria series.

I agree with you, totally.

Maybe they should make a Mesopotamia 1 game so we can all have the biggest mega campaign ever :p
