So whats the end game lol?

[Divine]

Just started playing this game so Im still noob.

But end game for me seems to be just nonstop construction of more factories to feed every increasing demand. Its basically micromanagement now. I just construct 100 factories of a type per state - not sure what happens if i go over 100.

Is this how end game vic 3 is supposed to be like? -.-

It's open ended, do you want to conquer people? Do you want happy enlightened people? Do you want to corner the market with one product you dominate in? Alternate history, like what if US went communist, ect?

Obviously the end game isn't World War 1 because that would make too much sense and ThIs IsNt A WArGaMe

My end games are usually everyone going to war against myself and my Allies/vassals, usually a world war but not always in Europe.

Seems historical.

The journal system is still horribly inept at providing historical play, so until that's refined events of any kind will be slim to none.

Can't get the US to civil war or the world to ww1 even as a player, and multiple big events like the meiji restoration or restoration of germany, etc. are extremely difficult if not impossible for the AI.

I usually rush the civil war earlier in my games as the US. And nearly every game I have some kind of WWI bit of chaos going. The last big one I had, I started as Krakow against Prussia, and nobody could really get to me, it was pretty easy to capitulate everybody into defeat.

To get mid-game and late-game historical events to trigger at the approximate real historical time is challenging just because of how dynamic the game can flow in the first few years.

Sure they might be pseudo historical, but I'm talking along the lines of HoI historical. There simply is no event system truncating action to create a historical AI playscheme, or to ensure that the player can run their own nation at least somewhat historically. You didn't get the US civil war, you got a random radicalization that took random states, and you very likely didn't do so anywhere near '61-'65.

In HoI you can start exact historical plays to the day; granted Vic plays in wider time frames, ok. You can't even get relevant countries for something like ww1, all there is is hundreds of generic great powers wars that might parallel ww1 because there is no historical event system in this game save for the journal, which is horribly inept. There simply is no foundation for historical play, at best you get fun flavor events that have no content or feature.

That’s not a law, is that a China specific event?

yea you can ban opium through a decision. Needs to be active for 5 years to complete.

Does anyone know how i can edit the innovation cap game files? Wanna try and build a whole bunch of universities as china to research everything ASAP lmao XD

[TasteDasRainbow]

You still benefit from building more universities, but only through diffused research, i.e. the stuff you discover from neighbors discoveries and what not.

This isn't a linear wargame. WW1 may never happen, or it might happen in a completely different context. This is a pretty weak argument.
