New dev diary on communist China
Mostly interesting for the new types of gameplay they can add through the new event system: infiltration and manipulating political support. I guess the trick in the long run will be to prevent these subsystems from stepping on each other all over the place.
I’m a bit worried about that also. I actually spent a few hours playing as the PRC month or two ago. Well I think it is cool, they are adding these feature, their resource and industrial base, and technology are all so small that I found playing the country like watching paint dry. I think it would be real challenging to replicate the PRC, rise from controlling a few poor provinces to controlling the biggest country in the world in the space of 12 years in Vanilla.
I will definitely give the PRC another shot after the expansion comes out.
I’m not sure the PRC is ever going to be that interesting in a game whose strength is moving divisions around in land theaters in a conventional manner.
