Project Alice: Final Year of a Test Game

This footage demonstrates what things look like in the final year of an Austria game with HPM. Playing complete games is how I am working on finding bugs and other issues at the moment. The game remains running at a decent speed, even at the end, but the ballooning number of pops does slow things down noticeably (speed 5 is no longer unplayably fast). Expect to see an alpha version released before the end of September.

wtf this progress is insane mister schombert

Great news to hear. I hope to have a look at the Alpha soon!

I have not been keeping up with this that much, is the goal to JUST make a recreation of vicky 2 but improve the engine, or are you also going to add improvements to the gameplay? Such as army templates or anything similar.

Vicky 2 is a great game itself in all times, but does have some caveats that cannot be solved only with mods due to its code is hidden. My one biggest dream is having an open source version. Then I can make changes in it, producing a game better than even Vicky 3! Wish I that will happen someday! 👌

Are you guys further ahead of OpenVic? I didn't even know there were other projects working on an open source Victoria 2 game.

Mann, the moment this releases I'm playing as ROMANIA🇷🇴, finnaly an alternative to VIC 3, only needed to play two full games to be tired of it.

This looks like Victoria 2 if it were packed onto a globe.

The single worst aspect of Vic2 is in my opinion the military micro. Recruiting individual units from individual provinces and manually arranging them into proper divisions, and if a provice has manpower issues, that province unit can turn yellow for limited reinforcements or red for the overrecruited area. Why can't you recruit individuals from provinces to a central "boot camp" and arrange them into divisions there? Something like the manpower pool HOI4 has. Not to mention, the president/king shouldn't be responsible for the arrangement of individual corps in every division. You should be able to make a template just like HOI4 and have that be that.

As far as waging war goes, it would be better if there were front lines and battleplans like in HOI4 as well. You essentially issue the overall battleplan to your generals and they carry out individual movements of divisions, unless you want to manually order their divisions moved in other ways, you shouldn't have to.

Will this cost money or require Victoria 2 play and will it have multiplayer?

Спасибо большое за труды, с нетерпением ждем релиза! Greetings from PSU!

[seanchernov]

Were Belarus? Wouldn't it make sense for them to be independent too in that situation? Look cool though

[Nunyaharrow]

You say that it's an Austria game with HPM. Does this mean the alpha will be moddable, or will HPM be rolled into the alpha release?

[N-]

I played for 10 years, but thanks to this it will be several more years

[LordofKings_]

it is good to mention on what kind of hardware you are running this.

[nuhu]

It's so cool ! Where can I download it ?

[LordofKings_]

Any indication when the Alpha is dropping? and what the progress is?
