A House Divided, premier add-on pour Victoria 2

Paradox a annoncé il y a quelques jours une première extension pour Victoria 2. Nommée A House Divided, cet add-on mettra l’accent sur la guerre de Sécession, qui sera désormais jouable depuis son tout début, soit 1861, dans le cadre d’un scénario. A House Divided étendra aussi les dimensions politiques et économiques de Victoria 2 (cf. notre test), au travers de nouveaux mécanismes présentés comme suit :

• Manufacture reasons to go to war with other countries, all in the name of the great game of power
• Civilize your country with various new reform paths to ultimately become equal with the western nations
• Invest in building infrastructure and factories in other countries to strengthen their ties to you
• Deeper political system with new national focus options and new types of reforms
• A new system of popular movements that can be appeased or suppressed, but if ignored, will become the revolutionaries of tomorrow

Pour l’occasion voici quelques images illustrant A House Divided et vous trouverez aussi sur le forum officiel un embryon de dev diary pour cette extension. Sortie prévue dans le courant du premier trimestre 2012.
