Victoria 3 is missing a war page.

Suggestion

Do you ever feel like you don't know when massive world wars are happening?

It may be just me but I'll be 2 years into a world war the likes of which we have never seen before and then finally realize there's a war happening. We need a war page like Victoria 2 so I can scroll down and see all the wars and even more importantly what they are for or about.

I see so many wars in this game where im like "why are you guys even fighting? And sure I can look at the peace treatys and see but why isn't it like how it was in vic 2 with names for wars that matched, idk I just felt so much more in tune with the world in vic 2.

In vic 3 I get so used to playing in max speed and just... eating some yogurt while the game chugs along so I'm not constantly checking the diplomacy tab. It's annoying too since it's almost all civil wars, I'd like to cycle through the wars on a page instead.

Yeah, I think this game would benefit a lot from a ledger tbh, but maybe that's the paradox boomer in me speaking.

There is a ledger, it's the globe icon.

Most pages are a bit of a hot mess of raw data though, they could do with some filtering like what they did with the 1.2 trade UI.

I'd much prefer a true ledger like EUIV though, the globe icon doesn't provide me with the same feel.

We need a war page and it can be seperate from the economy side. Paradox has always been great at naming wars for what they are, but not with vic 3. I feel like if that improves it'll be great to look at a war page and see how many wars are currently ongoing, and the status of the those conflicts.

I think the game would actually benefit from a war system, not a one-battle-at-time-RNG-simulator

If you think it's purely RNG then you clearly aren't playing on the Open Beta. There's a ton of useful information in the tooltips now explaining why you are struggling to deploy troops in a battle. If you can't be bothered to learn the game, that seems like a skill issue.

On the other hand, as a global power you get so many diplomatic plays popping up because you have interests everywhere. I can't be bothered with the hundredth native uprising or revolution in some OPM - not until AI would make an offer with something the player is interested in.

For real. Don’t notify me about a play unless the cumulative GDP of the involved parties is £500 million

Yes they've got to figure this out.

I don't even notice when the AI starts a diplomatic play against me until the notification that war has broken out pops up. This game is really bad at what it puts in front of the player and what it hides.

Just one other thing this half-baked game is missing, yeah.
