While no one truly understands some parts of the guts of Victoria II, not even the people that developed it, I think the game opens up possibilities for entertaining romps.Īdmittedly, I have not yet seen Estonia raise a million man army and fight off the entire planet singlehandedly. Kersch, as always, did a splendid job with How the Hell do We Play Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness? Our own in-house Paradox dev Wiz is currently working his way through the Victoria II section of his epic multi-year thread Islam Is The Light, the tale of the Kingdom of Azerbaijan Anatolian Republic and its struggles with tolerance and ethnic strife.įor some crazy reason, I love this game and have clocked more hours in it than any other Paradox game. The thread wasn't archived, but those with archives can still read over it here. I let's played the Steppe Wolfe mod of Europa Universalis III almost exactly a year ago, and this past April I used that same thread to look at the leaked demo of ubik's masterpiece Magna Mundi World Stage. Two expansions, 2012's A House Divided and 2013's Heart of Darkness, have come a long way in making Victoria II into a far superior game, though one that still has a number of baffling idiosyncrasies and counterintuitive mechanics.Īren't you that guy that did the Steppe Wolfe LP? And the World Stage one? Victoria II was released in 2010 as the successor of Paradox's 2003 Victoria title, and on release was noted both for a gorgeous map and graphic interface and confusing, counterintuitive, and flat-out bizarre interpretation of the events of the 19th century. Welcome to Let's Play Victoria II: Heart of Darkness.
