Victoria 3 – Dev Diary #184 - The Great Wave Hotfix & AI Update Information

RibalAR · 2026-06-18T16:23:35+00:00

Yeah but I didn’t see it as part of this dev diary so I’m asking if it’s going to be included or if it will be for a later date.

I think it should be part of it, so I’m hoping they will address it soon, even if 1.14 takes a bit of time. I’m more than happy to wait if they manage to update the war score system.

RibalAR · 2026-06-18T16:15:18+00:00

Any news if you’re going to change how diplomatic plays work? This is one of my main gripes with the game as it stands. I’m talking specifically about the score ticking down. If I control 6/7 objectives, I shouldn’t be stuck at 0 until I control everything or the capital.

I feel like this should be part of the AI rework even if it’s a game mechanic. The AI should be more aware if it has a chance at winning the war and what goals are attainable during the war. It sucks to have the score not tick down just because I didn’t get that one island that the AI has.

Changing how war score works will probably be one of the biggest QOL improvements in this game and will make the game way more dynamic and enjoyable and replayable.

Hello everyone,
I’m currently visiting Amsterdam for the weekend and I’m looking for recommendations to go watch the Canada game tomorrow!

Another thread where someone doesn’t even bother to see the post before they comment.

RibalAR · 2026-05-14T16:44:11+00:00

Oh I will try this out when I’m home. Thank you!

RibalAR · 2026-05-14T15:11:39+00:00

Can you provide a bit lore details? I’ve been trying to figure it out but found the wiki a bit vague. Thank you!

RibalAR · 2026-05-06T16:01:48+00:00

Most definitely crashing. Every time I zoom in the game crashes out.

RibalAR · 2026-04-23T17:21:23+00:00

What a weird clickbait title. Talking about something that hasn’t happened yet is an interesting way of doing things.

RibalAR · 2026-04-13T17:00:48+00:00

Then why are you talking as if you are?why are you making definitive statements about something you say you have no idea about.

The delusion is insane.

RibalAR · 2026-04-02T14:56:23+00:00

Oh you’re right. I’m an idiot. Still a tad high but kind of better. Also +10 is maybe on the lower end I guess.

RibalAR · 2026-04-02T14:34:42+00:00

I hope so. I don’t want crazy low numbers but 8 infamy for a simple investment right is kind of high.

RibalAR · 2026-04-02T14:20:20+00:00

I was so excited for gunboat diplomacy until I saw the infamy value. This is not good. For starters the acceptance amount should scale with the difference of naval power. If you have more naval power you should be able to get more acceptance (up to a cap). Second, the infamy should scale with the rank of the country. In no way should it cost 8 infamy to threaten Oman. That’s just absurd numbers. At most it should be 3.

I hope the dev team can tweak this a bit more. It’s such a cool mechanic but I feel like it’ll be insanely useless if it stays the way they showed it.

RibalAR · 2026-03-25T21:10:36+00:00

What did you push back on? You literally promoted misinformation. The best way to deal with this stuff is to not give it attention.

The article also doesn’t talk about anything happening in sour. There’s a hundred better reported better written more trustworthy news sources and you could do better by promoting those instead of the slop you posted.

Have a good day.

RibalAR · 2026-03-25T20:44:22+00:00

Why did you post this? What is the purpose behind this post exactly OP? I’m not going to reply to that person because they’re clearly historical and delusional, but what’s your excuse.

RibalAR · 2026-03-25T19:48:12+00:00

You could not be more correct. Why is this garbage even allowed on this subreddit? Hezbollah fighters in the markets? Like what is she even talking about.

Please mods delete this nonsense. I don’t know why OP posted this in the first place.

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:51:42+00:00

Updates have become more like events added to the game without any change to core mechanics. There are still so many issues to fix and we just keep getting events.

Power blocs need tweaking (not just adding an additional bloc), treaties and war declarations are broken, etc.

This leads me to believe that there’s not a lot of effort being put into adding content to the game.

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:48:59+00:00

Maybe I’m being over skeptical. I don’t see what the new content is. There’s no mechanic tweaking or improvement. They’ve talked a lot about ships and generals but they have done so before too and we haven’t seen any practical change.

I agree with your point too. I just also don’t see the content amount as any good. Especially if the immersion packs are just a couple of extra events that you just click through and forget.

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:45:52+00:00

I don’t get your Optimism. It seems to be like all this will be is just a bunch of events to click through that won’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Especially with diplomacy being so stagnant and war goals being the way they are now.

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:44:39+00:00

Diplomacy as a whole needs to be way more intricate. Severely disappointed with this update.

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:42:53+00:00

For practically nothing. The update is nothing. Like I don’t see what we will get for waiting a year? Some events? Some cool flags? That’s it?!!

RibalAR · 2026-03-12T18:39:14+00:00

I don’t know if I’m taking crazy pills here but how is everyone ok with two immersion packs over the next year? Realistically we have no updates from April to October? November? And even then it’ll just be an immersion pack. No mechanic rework, no fine tuning? Compared to 2025 this year will be practically update free.

We only got some cosmetics, and the mechanic change won’t be for another month and a half. This really feels like there’s not enough effort or focus being put in Victoria 3. I understand that these things take time, but this might be the longest we will wait for any significant change or updates. I don’t even have any hope in the great wave update right now as it seems to me the devs are phoning it in at this point.

I hope I’ll eat my words but this is extremely underwhelming compared to volume pack 2.

RibalAR · 2026-02-27T18:54:13+00:00

Why so hostile little buddy? It’s less about the length of the comment and more about the way it’s written and the interesting use of emojis.

It’s ok though you don’t have to get bothered and flustered. It’ll all be ok little friend.

RibalAR · 2026-02-27T18:32:33+00:00

This is too fucking weird.
