DLC Idea for CK3: A simple idea: when you make a culture you can set a COA style motif, e.g i make/form a culture centred around death (after a brutal plague) and all my landed nobles have a skull and death related quotes. Maybe this can be achieved by a A.I engine addition to COA designer.
Ok, so Ive just started playing City Skylines 1, but have also played HoI4 before. In both games, Ive had to use mods to even be able to understand how to play the games. Does anyone have a reason for this? Not trying to hate on the games or anything.
Like the title says, looking to get framed map versions of the start dates of EU4, Vicky 3, and HOI4 for my dorm room that I can hang up on the wall. Anyone have any suggestions?

This post is about Victoria 2, not 3.
Every couple years I return to this game and I always hope I'll realize that it is good this time. After all, EU4 and CK2 are both masterpieces. But I always come away with the same two impressions:
The game is incredibly shallow, simplistic, and short compared to CK2 and EU4.
To the extent it has any depth, which lies in the internal development aspect, it largely plays itself with only rudimentary and repetitive input from the player in the form of promoting the same 2 or 3 pop types via national focus.
I am 100% willing to allow for the possibility--even the likelihood--that my view of the game is influenced by my lack of understanding of the mechanics ("sounds like a skill issue, bro"). But that is kind of part of my critique. The game seems very shallow/simplistic but also shrouded in mysterious mechanics that seem beyond the influence or even comprehension of the player--all at the same time.
This will probably come off harsh to avid fans of the game, and I guess I'm expecting downvotes and hostility. But I truly want to like the game. I want it to be the industrial revolution version of CK2/EU4. I always return to it hoping it will be, as I mentioned.
It's currently 1959 and neither the Allies, the Axis nor the Comintern exist. Peace in our time, for real this time?
I want to buy the complete Vic 3 but it is very expensive. Do good promotions about the game usually take a long time or do they appear quite frequently?

What would be the core mechanics? And what would you add if you were developer?
Hello everybody, I am interested in upgrading my PC and I have a Ryzen 3 3100 and a RX580 (the budget is low). The objective being silky smooth gameplay in ck3 and vic3, what should I upgrade first, the CPU or the GPU? Thanks!
I'm playing the Warhammer conversion mod for CK2, though I suspect this topic would be mostly relevant to vanilla as well, so all tips are more than welcome.
I'm playing as Montfort, in Bretonnia, and I really wanna get rid of the maruding orcs holed up in Masiff Orcal. They're surrounded by me and my allies and we outnumber them quite well. The trouble is, their capitol has a supply limit of 1k, but a garrison of 6k. Meaning, as far as I can tell, it's impossible to siege. Unless we MASSIVELY outnumbered them and could just throw, like, 50k troops at the blamed place in one swoop. But that's not going to happen. We've only got around 12k at the best of times. I have tried forcing a siege and it went very poorly.
So now I'm trying to just assassinate their leaders as fast as I can. Which... is kinda working? Maybe. Though I suspect all its really doing is making them unlikely to invade, rather than actually getting rid of 'em. There's just too many orc replacements. I've also been sabotaging the place with my spymaster, but I can't tell if that's achieving anything notable.
I'm still figuring out how to play, and having a blast doing so. I think I've mostly gotten the hang of things, but I can't tell if my ambition here is ludicrously stupid, or just really, really tricky. What do you folks think?
