What would I want as an improvement in Vic 2 off the top of my head Better resourceindustry management for the world market . Instead of global market purchasing being # 1 gets access first , then # 2 , then # 3 , ect it needs to be broken up by region , somewhat like how trade nodes work in EUIV . Reforming subsidies for businesses . Preferably a stoplimit on the number of days that a company can be subsidized before its allowed to go under . Reforming how industry is builtchosen , hopefully allowing more player input outside of socialistfascistcommunist nations or allow actual bonuses for lassiezfaire economies . I hate playing as a smaller nation and never getting access to steamer ships or higherlevel items because my capitalists won ' t build a certain factory . Improving the cultureassimilation system . Its currently about 500 if statements with assigned point values . Nothing wrong with that , but its hard understanding how to influence it andor seeing how far cultures come to being assimilated . Fixing army systems for smaller countries . When you ' re required to have 3 , 000 soldier pops to raise one unit , it becomes very difficult to play . Dropping it to EUIV ' s level of 1 , 000 soldiers would be better . I kind of think removing the % chance for discovery on research would be useful in lieu of it increasing from 1100 % when the bonus is unlocked then factoring in the various bonuses that are mentioned on highlighting them in the game . That way , the Scramble for Africa would be way more contentious if 34 countries unlocked Indigenous Garrisoning at the same time vs . the total randomness of 1 country getting a 1 yr advantage as opposed to everyone else . Fiximprove the taxation system . It seems like going with the Blast the poor with taxes shouldn ' t be the winning strategy , but it seems like it works all the time . I would look at adding more types of taxes into the system Corporate taxes for example , as well as a bigger focus on tariffs , arguably allowing the player to set them to different countries , which could lead to some interesting economic sanctioning scenarios which would be very useful for Great Wars . Improve the Crisis system . I love how it forces you to more or less join an allornothing war . I ' d hope for it becoming bigger and better . For example , adding Secondary Powers to the mix could be useful .
