I think this game is solid but it is missing a few key things that would make the game for me alot better, 1. Is the Politcal system PDX games helped me learn alot about economics and politics and though after actually learning about how different government systems work, I just think Victoria 3 does not have accurate rempresentations for political systems, however I think It has a lot of potential in this department, for example In Victoria 3 for laissez faire and capitalistic systems of government they use the fact that you the player decide what buildings are built in different states and have a "capital investment pool" to rempresent the fact that you the player "aka the government" are not spending the money. Also these buildings are businesses and are represented as such by the fact that they have cash reserves and these have a limit but in real life the robber barons had like infinite money and they humanize the element that these are businesses and they can become chains. and they only judge of if they are dong well if people are employeed which is not the only metric of indicating if a buisness doing well, in other words PDX should be giving artificial caps to businesses only based on its "building level" I think that they political systems do not follow government types based on real life for example the US or other non parliamentary democracies are not represented well in game because they still follow the idea of "building a government" which is not apart of those systems. Particularly the United States often and though this may differ based on the progression of any save is that their are two main parties and all others do not have significant power. Also for politics they ability to pass laws is WAY TO OP. like they are not based on what political party holds the most power or not if the prime minister might be ousted. I feel like in all of the Victoria 3 and alot of PDX their is no Political pressure other than revolts and in Victoria 3 radicals. I think changing by adding a more sophisticated political system would help the game immensely in its depth and immersion. Another things is taxes and government wages and administration, it is wayyy to simple in this game its just the click of a button and the only effect government has is how much it taxes people which though is important this is not the only jobs in govenerment besides legislators/rulers have so paying low government wages is only consequence being basically not making an interest groups happiness decrease is not a good understanding of what government does it not accurate at all Also everyone says the war system needs to be fixed please It is super broken. I think their is a lot good things about Victoria 3, I feel like diplomacy and international relations are a lot better than in Victoria 2 I think it was way to easy to take advantage of just meme-ing certain strategies and gaining leverage over certain resources in Africa was the main way to win. Where as in this game I think their is a much more diverse way of being good and effectively doing things right in Victoria 3. Also I think Victoria 3 allows much more understanding of the importance of the market to the player in this particular game especially the import and export of goods, usually in Victoria 2 you would usually let the AI do the trade stuff for you because of the way trade worked in that game, where as in this game it is made to be understood by the player and not only between the AI themselves, basing it on price and understanding why those prices are important. I also like feature of Standard of living which was not a feature in Vicky II it helps me understand what my economic policies are doing to my pops where as in Victoria II the only focus just green line go up or down. and if another party or different people are swung in control. I also like that your punished alot more for war in this game because of how the market works for small arms and the way production of these things was changed. I also think surprise to many the pop system is way better in this game because migration makes way more sense though I think still can be much improved and before you just knew what your pops were now you know what they need to increase standard of living. AMAZING CHANGE, I thought It was super helpful and I also think the tech system has alot of benefits and I think clearly Paradox went out of their way to understand they way Tech changes the economy. that I will tip my cap Overall I think this game is a 7/10 and if they tweak and fix the politics and war system and how the politics and government works in this game works based alot of presumptions and over simplifications the war system is not fun, and the economy is decent but just not what I want it to be I think this game is tetering on greatness but I give it slack because what I want is not accesible to any player at all so for accesibilities sake it is like this
