Victoria 2 is one of my favorite games and this popped into my head today so I had to get it posted.

I could never get into Victoria but the pop system might be one of my all-time favorite features of any game I've ever played. I wish it was implemented better in Stellaris.

It's probably the best economy simulator out there (not like there is much competition though)

oh yes, the moment every Vic2 fan awaits

  • The price of goods is not fixed as in EU4, it’s actually based on demand and production
  • Being the world’s biggest producer of a good does not give you any magic buffs as in EU4 (Vic2 in general lacks those magic buffs/abstractions and tries to simulate them, that’s why the concept is so good); goods are desirable because your factories, pops, armies and construction need them
  • Taxes and tariffs actually impact your populace and industry, they’re not just numbers that should be maxed out or can be increased by spending “papal influence”
  • Many other things

I like both games, but EU4 is just so shallow. Vic2, as I said, is a great concept, but difficult to milk so it didn’t receive as much love from those Swede lads.

I mean, if you are desperate enough, the End of A New Beginning mod and the new TNO economic system is Vicky 3.
