So yes, better approach on the Navy than on the Army, but please don't try to sell me on Victorian-era armies were terrain- rather than enemy-focused.
Mahan was one of the reasons why the Brits developed the Dreadnought. And just so that the Navy types don't feel left out, in the late 1800s, a guy named Mahan published a book that applied Jomini to seapower - basically, the idea was you concentrate your big ships and then you blow the other guys' big ships out of the water and then you do whatever you want. The French Army was the center of gravity Germany pursued in August-September 1914 with the Schleiffen Plan (which obviously failed). Usually, one of those centers of gravity was the opponent's army. Victoria 3 is an upcoming grand strategy video game in the Victoria, developed by. Even, if you were to switch to Clausewitz (who became the vogue in the later 1800s), he discussed centers of gravity, those items that gave a nation-state its political will to fight. The Prussians were particularly good at this, destroying the Austrian army in 1866 and then the French army in 1870. Lee (early in the American Civil War) and Grant (later in the same conflict) both sought out the opponent's army in an attempt to destroy it and win decisively. Most Victorian-era European armies followed the teachings of a guy named Jomini who preached the importance of decisive victory over the opponent's army.
However, seeking and destroying opposing armies and fleets were extremely Victorian.
#Victoria 3 dev diary 24 update
But for a few weeks now, work has resumed, and it is planned that before the major 1.4 update planned to come out near to August/September time, there will be a large update: the 1.3.4 update. Development has indeed been slow for a while, not only due to being busy, but also due to a decrease in the 'want' to work on the mod. The devs made an interesting comment: there is no seek and destroy other army/navy option for either because that is not very strategic (I'm paraphrasing). Its been quite a while since the last dev diary. Building it in Venice will weaken the pro-Venetian faction within the Greek inteligentsia, whereas building it in Athens increases your chances of the Greeks staying loyal.The Naval approach sounds better than the Army right now. One of these events regards the building of a new University. By taking pro-Greek stances in these events, you can win the hearts and minds of the Hellene people, leading to them proposing integration into the Venetian republic rather than Independence.
#Victoria 3 dev diary 24 Patch
This patch aims at making the content based on player choice, while expanding the existing set of events and decisions (see the changelong in the file page for more details).Īs an example, there are a series of new events that precedes the Council of Athens, the congress in which Greek nationalists of various walks of life meet to draft a series of demands for autonomy (or independence) for Venice, who is in control of the Aegean Islands, the Morea and Attica. The old Venetian and Greek content used to be heavily dependent on RNG - most notably for the Greek demands during the Council of Athens and the choice of government during the Council of Delphi.
