Therefore a Front always has one country on either side, but it is possible for Generals from several countries to be assigned to the same Front. All combat takes place on these Fronts, where a victorious outcome consists of moving the Front into your enemy’s territory while preventing incursions into your own.įronts are created automatically as soon as two countries begin to oppose each other in a Diplomatic Play, and consist of all provinces along the border of control between those two countries.
In Victoria 3, rather than manually moving armies around the map, you assign troops (via Generals, as we will see later) to the border provinces where two combatants clash.
VICTORIA 3 WAR DEV DIARY UPDATE
Once we are closer to release we’ll make sure to update you on any revisions, and release more finalized in-game screenshots!įirst I want to present the concept of Fronts. Furthermore, being a drastic divergence from how warfare works in all other Paradox games, these systems have required a lot of time in the oven to feel as fully baked as the others. War is a very important supporting system to all those three which tie them together, but we needed to make sure those three aspects were mature enough before we put the final touches on the military system. The reason for this is simply because, as we have stressed previously in these dev diaries, Victoria 3 is a game about economics, politics, and diplomacy first and foremost. In some cases images will be artistic mockups and visual targets, and in other cases very rough in-game screenshots that will be revised before release. While development diary screenshots should never be taken as fully representative of the final product, this is especially true in this case. But let’s take a moment first to recall the pillars of warfare in Victoria 3 from last week’s diary, which should be considered prerequisite reading to this one.īefore we get started I want to point out that a few of the mechanics I will be mentioning below are currently still under implementation in the current build. the point of this resource is to balance the base power which comes with large territories and populations, with the expense of governing them, making large countries, such as China susceptible to problems, if their governing system is not optimized for the era they live in.Hello and welcome! Today we will dig into the core mechanics of land warfare, including Fronts, Generals, Battalions, Mobilization, and more. All Incorporated territories of your country, as well as additional institutions, such as education or commerce, use a base amount of this resource. It is produced by the Government Administration Building, where the bureaucrat population class is mostly employed. It represents a nation's ability to govern itself. This capacity's purpose is to create a trade-off of power distribution between more and less authoritarian societies, and putting the power into the hands of the ruler or the hands of the people.īureaucracy is the next capacity on the list. Generally, the more authoritarian and repressive the country is, its Head of State has more Authority at its disposal, making them capable of passing laws easier and faster, and influencing the supply and demand by banning or promoting certain Goods. It is generated by the Laws a player enacts and represents the Head of State's power and capability to enact further decrees and laws. Additionally, these are not accumulative resources, but instead, they have positive or negative effects if their generation rate is positive or negative, respectively, and these effects are based upon the group the capacity belongs to. Capacities have a generation rate and can be used based on the amount generated in a certain timeframe. What Victoria 3 does have, are capacities, and they are divided into three groups.įirst of all, capacities cannot be fully equated to currencies. What that means is, there are no currencies being traded or used based on some ideas or arbitrary decisions. In the latest instance of developers' diaries, Paradox Interactive bring us the capacities mechanic, their usage, and worldbuilding consequences.Īs stated in the first dev diary, Victoria 3 has "no mana", as they would put it.
