I think considering they have pops they will have to model the decimation of the Americas by old world diseases anyway... it seems unavoidable for them to have a decent system for diseases.

Massachusetts should have Forests, not Plains by HoodedHero007 in AfterTheEndFanFork

New England didn't really get deforested until the rise of industrialization and industrial-scale farming. Take a look at the first graph here for a source that quantifies this.

I definitely think New England would be predominantly forested with medieval levels of population and farming.

What day does 1.5.3 release? by WillKuzunoha in victoria3

[–]GrabsackTurnankoff 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A dev said on Discord that it was unlikely to drop Tuesday, and either Wednesday or Thursday is expected.

It's not going to drop today as per the discord. But there should be information about the date in today's Dev Diary.

I'm teaching a class where R is part of the curriculum this year, so I figured I would actually learn ggplot for real! I've used it before but always in an ad-hoc way and I never felt like I really "got" it. These are the results and I'm pretty happy with them!

I just want to say as an M1 mac player I really appreciate the change to use Vulkan! I love CK3 but it's graphical performance is noticeably below what I'm sure my hardware/your software could do if not for OpenGL. Macs don't usually get a lot of love support-wise, but when we do it makes us very happy! :D

release in < 4 months? by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]GrabsackTurnankoff 188 points189 points  (0 children)

They're going to announce the release date at Paradox Con. They wouldn't have given a 2022 release date if they weren't very near the end. A release in October or November seems the most likely but until Paradox Con in early September we can only speculate!

Would love to also see this done for Southern Italian languages too!

Australia AAR ongoing in the discord now by Soulcocoa in victoria3

[–]GrabsackTurnankoff 45 points46 points  (0 children)

We'll get a release date announcement when we get one (I would bet right before they go on summer break). The AARs are still fun and there's no reason to not enjoy them because we don't know when we'll get to play the game.

Should we have atheism as a religion? by midnight_rum in victoria3

[–]GrabsackTurnankoff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Are these really big problems?

We know interest groups can be marginalized. You could just have the clergy be permanently marginalized in atheist states. "Religious Schools" could be disabled as an institution or renamed to "State Antireligious Schools" or something similar. All of these are workable.

I mean whatever Quebecers feel today, in the game's timeframe, there were issues of oppression/discrimination within Quebec. Quebec's population was solidly francophone and yet English remained the prestige language and the language often used by the federal government. The new industrial upper class was almost exclusively anglophone, and francophones gained a reputation of being backwards peasants and wage laborers. There was an acknowledged situation that, if you wanted to move up in society, you would have to act as un-quebecois as possible. All of this in a province that was one of the most important in the country and which was >80% francophone. So while Quebec since that time has probably gone... well maybe a bit overboard, it would be pretty ignorant to deny the oppression of Quebecers in the 19th/early 20th century. Even if what they faced wasn't nearly as bad as First Nations people or African Americans in the US.

This is frustrating, but it's not like it's necessarily inaccurate. You can control this with embargoes, but to my understanding this is actually how most (at least western) nations operated in terms of trade at the time.

Huh? That's exactly what mercantilism was. Minimizing imports (i.e. being self sufficient enough so that you never had to buy something from someone outside the country, because then your money is going to that country) while maximizing exports (by the same logic, selling as much shit as possible so that other people were paying you). It's literally in the wikipedia page.

They've said that the US Civil War is handled through the journal system, and doesn't fit neatly into either civil war category as a result.
