You can mostly ignore elections, or use the debates to shift the country more in line with your opinions. And if you want a blend of the two, go interventionist and support the factories you consider critical. Balance the competing interests in your society and earn your place in the sun in Victoria 3, one of the most anticipated games in Paradox’s history. If you really want to dive into the guts play as state capitalism or planned economy, but you’ll be just fine if you trust in the free market and low taxes on the rich. Paradox Development Studio invites you to build your ideal society in the tumult of the exciting and transformative 19th century.

As far as stability I have not had a crash since the 1.2beta, and the game itself is highly entertaining.ĭo want to tell you that you’re not really supposed to be able to grasp the minutae of how your economy functions, so don’t spend too much time trying. I’d suggest waiting until 1.4 hits release version before taking your first stab at the game. People are pretty pleased with the 1.4 beta, and talk of an expansion has everyone excited. Has anyone played a lot with the latest patch? Does it fix the issues? Unfortunately I can’t find the game for anything lower than $30 but if the game is basically stable, I would spend that much.
