A mod for Victoria II with Heart of Darkness Expansion that continues the legacy of Divergences : An Alter Vicky mod created by Kinniken. According to the quantum theory, every decision made in the universe creates an alternative universe where all the following events take a different way. The first decision that diverged the timeline is called the Point of Divergence. In the Divergences mod there are PODs that are not bound to each other: The duke of Burgundy decides to continue his support for Plantagenets in the Hundred Years' War The personal union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden survives and evolves to a unitary state Isabella of Spain married a Portuguese prince, instead of Ferdinand II. The Chenghua Emperor does not stop Ming China's explorations, but decides to pursue them with greater zeal than before But that were not all the changes. The timeline began to diverge more and more and after 400 years the very world as we know it looks absolutely different.

Looks pretty promising. In my opinion I think since you are starting in the modern day, focus on small incremental things that add flavor but not a headache as well. So maybe focus on the separatist movements that have notable signs. Brittany Somaliland Novorossiya Catalonia Transylvania -------------- I know its more or likely not a priority but I feel that adding the movements and giving more options in what to do as in the way for foreign policy and such would give more of a dynamic while you focus on bigger things like tech rework/update, events and ect.

  • Why Grand Strategy Games Will (Already) Make Teachers Obsolete. Alain Xalabarde A-Line Games Barcelona [email protected]
    Why Grand Strategy games will (already) make teachers obsolete. Alain Xalabarde A-line Games Barcelona [email protected] Abstract Content This talk analyzes how a relatively new trend of games is ‘Grand Strategy’ games make use of very deep and pushing the boundaries of what can be taught through interwoven systems, with a high attention to detail and play. Unlike most other commercial games, where the freedom to micromanage. Players are a lot more open to focus is being able to quickly pick it up and play, these unintuitive UIs, steep learning curves and bare-bones Figure 1: “Crusader Kings II” titles pack a huge amount of highly-researched graphics. This gives developers the freedom to knowledge and offers teachers new ways of approaching concentrate on historical accuracy, content and their subjects. immersion. Author’s Keywords Grand strategy; 4x; simulators; management; business sims; edu games. Introduction Although we are all aware that technology will take over our current teaching methods, some are not fully conscious of how it’s already having an impact. Games are a great teaching tool, however, they sometimes fall short when it comes to content. That’s where Grand Strategy games and similar genres are going the extra mile, and offering their users in-depth knowledge on matters that would otherwise take months of formal Figure 3: “Victoria II” Figure 2: “Europa Universalis IV” training.

Unlike the broad open-ended stories that are availa- ble to you in Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron is a ruthlessly focused game. You are not shackled to history, but the game is about World War II and World War II will happen. Of course, the World War II you encounter in a game will bear only a passing resemblance to the one we know from history. Maybe Germany goes after the Soviet Union first, and maybe Italy decides to go its own way in 1938. But Hearts of Iron is still a game about war – preparing for war, researching war re- lated technologies, developing attack plans and then keeping that war machi- ne going until the issue is settled. To this end, Hearts of Iron has a much greater emphasis on military matters than political or economic matters.

  • Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome
    Welcome to Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome hird Rome is the first “immersion pack” for Europa Universalis IV. Immersion packs are a new type of expansion for EU4, intended to bring T greater detail and historical customization to a particular region. For Third Rome, we have chosen to focus on Russia, one of the most popular starting regions for many of our players. Russia is big. It stretches from Lithuania in the West to the Pacific in the East, from the Baltic in the North to the Black Sea in the South. The story of how a princely backwater became one of the most important nations in the world is a colorful one, full of terror and triumph. Third Rome starts with a more detailed map of the Russian region and then adds new government types, new special Russian abilities, and revised idea groups that include a unique colonization mechanic that is better suited to Russia’s historic cross- ing of Siberia than the current Idea System. The title of the immersion pack comes from a letter written by a Russian monk to the Muscovite Grand Duke Vasili III. For this monk, Muscovy was the final bulwark of Christendom after the fall of Rome and Constantinople, so, naturally, the Orthodox Church plays a big part in this expansion. We have also introduced new government types for the princely states of Russia and the local merchant republics, as well as raising the Tsarist government to its own level, on par with other empires, but a thing with special powers of its own.

  • View the Manual
    Welcome to Rule Britannia uch is made of the unlikeliness of the triumphs of Great Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Once a continental power that overawed France, M England fell on hard times by the 15th century. Even the Tudor golden age of English power, when Henry defied popes and Elizabeth defied Spain, were marked by internal division and religious unrest, and the traditions of English freedom were stomped underneath a network of secret informers. But the greatness of Britain is not entirely surprising. Strong nobles usually pro- vided a counter to true absolutism, and the salutary example of Charles I served as a reminder of the ultimate price of running roughshod over the privileges of the English elite. Despite the occasional bloody suppression of northern national spirit, the union between Scotland and England proved a powerful combination. English merchants had easy access to the trade ports of the Netherlands and a location that allowed sailors to take advantage of prevailing currents to the Americas. Most importantly, Great Britain was spared the scorched earth of the continental Religious Wars, and its own periods of disruption were generally shorter and less intense than the Deluge of Poland or the Russian Time of Troubles. It helps to be an island, with a culture of seafaring and ocean battle. Rule Britannia is an Immersion Pack for Europa Universalis IV. It is designed to deepen the experience of playing England or Great Britain, so most of the changes in this pack will heighten gameplay in that region. However, many of the changes are more universal, and will be appreciated by a wide range of nations and play styles.

  • Games for Social Studies Education William R
    8 Games for Social Studies Education William R. Watson AS A FORM OF POPULAR ENTERTAINMENT, digital video games have reached an all-time high in popularity, becoming a regular part of many students’ lives. Games have become so pervasive that some are referring to the current generation as the “gamer generation” (Beck & Wade, 2004). Digital video games are also gaining an increased advocacy for their adaptation for educational purposes. This chapter addresses the appro- priateness of video games for social studies and citizenship education and identifies available games, tying them to national standards for social studies and citizenship education ◼ Playing Games in School 173 Section II ◼ Games in Subject Areas n increasing number of practitioners and researchers are advocating digital computer and video games (also referred to simply as video games) as a promising form of instruction A that can engage students and strengthen skills important in the current information age (Aldrich, 2004; Foreman, Gee, Herz, Hinrichs, Prensky, & Sawyer, 2004; Prensky, 2001; Quinn, 2005). In fact, the Federation of American Scientists (2006) has called for increased federal funding for educational game research, identifying games as well suited to educating students for today’s knowledge economy. Apart from being well suited for today’s learners, video games have also become an extremely popular form of mainstream entertainment. Video game software sales reached a record $10.3 billion in the United States in 2002 and maintained their strong showing with $10 billion in sales in 2003 (NPD Group, 2004), exceeding the $9.1 billion in 2002 box office sales for the U.S./Canada movie industry (Theatrical Market Statistics: 2009, 2009).
