Victoria II

Give in to the allure of the dark continent. Vast wealth is within the grasp of the daring in Victoria II's second expansion, aptly named Heart of Darkness.

 

 

(...) Scramble for Africa the late 19th century rush for newly discovered wealth and land in a continent whose interior had been mostly free from European domination. Rapid industrialization and new technologies have made it possible for your growing power to push into lands once considered uninhabitable for "civilized" men. The riches of Africa beckon you, as you explore new territories and exploit the wealth and people within. But a growing empire will eventually bump into another power with the same ambitions, and a savvy smaller state will know how to exploit the conquerors' greed and pride.

 

 

(...) compete with other colonial powers and experience international crises which require Great Power mediation if the world is to avoid war.

 

 

 

What say the drums of this upcoming offering:

 

 

 

• Experience a brand new colonization system: Use your navy to expand your empire, compete against other colonial powers and struggle to maintain your overseas control. Colonial conflicts can spiral out of control and become international crises where they will have to be decided by diplomatic negotiations or risk costly wars.

 

 

• Battle your enemies in the new naval combat system: Together with the new colonization system, your navies are more important than ever. We have revamped the entire naval combat system and made it much more detailed and exciting with a new system of gun ranges and maneuvering into positions for battles. New powerful battleships join the other classes of ships to bridge the gap to Dreadnoughts.

 

 

• Prepare for International Crises: Around the world international crises continually call on the Great Powers to mediate and compromise, with war always being the last resort. As one of the lesser powers, use your influence to stir up the local flash points so you can use fleet footed diplomacy to get the Great Powers to right the wrongs that have been committed against your nation!

 

 

• Follow the global events with the new newspaper system: You will receive reports on local and global events as well as the world's changing situation to keep up to date and get a greater sense of immersion. Over 60 newspapers, both historic and otherwise, periodically present you with the latest news reports of war, major events, royal gossip and other matters of interest.

 

 

 

Ready yourself, Bwana, to set out this March.
