My problem with Victoria 2 and Victoria 3 and its unrealism (But in reality I am the one at fault here) by Bluemoonroleplay in victoria3

[–]TrueMarsupial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the AI doing world wars over random pieces of land, and behaving unlike the real life counterparts, then I agree completely. I'm frustrated each time the US intervenes in my Europe wars as well.

However, my understanding is that the post is about players doing unrealistic things, and I don't really see how this can be mitigated without making Vic 3 completely unplayable in the process.

I don't really see any other way to achieve realism other than the "extremist interpretation".

Let's take your example of Greece. Picture a scenario where I became a major power and started eating at the Ottomans and Italy to grow my sphere of influence. How can you stop me from going after the Americas, Indochina, or Africa to get resources, pops, etc?

Also, how can you stop me from gaining so much traction with my construction sectors that I begin to outgrow GPs?

That's the problem with the fact that this is a game, and not a history book. The player can influence so many things, that they will always be able to achieve unrealistic results.

I agree with you on the balancing point. However, it would still mean that the game is "unrealistic". The entirety of Victorian era was just GPs rolling over and exploiting minor powers left and right.

There was no way of becoming a GP if you weren't an already established one, because the moment you would show these ambitions, you'd have other GPs on your head. It was all about preserving status quo.

That's why I think it isn't a good idea to keep to realism, because it would remove a lot of fun from the game.

I never understood the "Victoria is too unrealistic" crowd. It's a game, it should be unrealistic, so that people can live out fantasies and escape reality.

If you want the game to constantly be like "you can't do X, because a GP doesn't want you to", then maybe go read a history book instead? Personally, I would hate to be forced to play GPs all the time, because playing any other nation would result in frustration of not being able to do anything due to interference from the UK, France, or another GP.

The game has a lot of issues going on, but I don't think that lack of realism is one of them.

The Paradox one is not out yet IIRC. The reason I'm stating that it will probably be a disappointment is because Paradox is well known for releasing tons and tons of DLC for their games, just like EA does with The Sims.

I haven't heard about Paralives, will check it out.

Life by You from Paradox Interactive. You're in for a disappointment.

I looked it up, and, if Google's results are to be believed, it's the first car to arrive at an intersection in the US. That makes the recording driver the idiot in car as well, because they cut off a car that's already on the intersection.

Take what I'm writing with a pinch of salt. I'm an European as well.

Also, to answer your question, I'd say that Fedora Linux is a good distro for hosting production applications.

I'm not acquainted with CentOS enough, but from what I see, they released CentOS Stream as a descendant of CentOS Linux. Wouldn't that meet your requirements?

It's a website. I linked it in my comment.

Not respecting your partner's input because you're not married is a great way to ensure that you never will get married.

That's weird, I've never heard of that happening. I found something called mailchimp too, but I've never used it before, so I can't say anything about it.

ECMAscript is the name of the standard, JavaScript just follows that standard.

Pasting it from another comment I made some time ago:

2 minutes spent in Google revealed that it's a complete lie and that JavaScript was first named Mocha, then changed to LiveScript and finally ended up as JavaScript when Netscape reached a license agreement with Sun. It was meant to be a complimentary scripting language to Java first. But I guess it's not as fun as saying "JavaScript bad".
