Victoria 3 - Sortie de « l'Aube des Merveilles » et du Patch 1.4
Votre présent serviteur s'excuse par avance de son absence dans le suivi de Victoria 3... Encombré par les vicissitudes du travail, des vacances et d'aventures sur la Côte des Épées (oups ), le suivi de Victoria 3 depuis la sortie de l'extension « la Voix du Peuple » a été je l'admets, inexistant. Néanmoins pour la sortie de la toute nouvelle mini-extension ainsi que de son patch gratuit 1.4 (sans compter la beta ouverte de la 1.5 le 31 août), je vous laisse avec le présent article recensant les principales nouveautés, fonctionnalités et changements de tout cet ensemble !

Cette nouvelle extension pour Victoria 3 comprend les éléments suivants :
  • Un cycle jour-nuit personnalisable - il ajoute une nouvelle ambiance nocturne à la carte, à un rythme que les joueurs pourront définir. Les lumières des bâtiments et des trains qui passent illumineront le panorama de nuit, tandis que les phares guideront vos navires jusqu'à bon port. Les lumières urbaines ont trois nuances et intensités différentes en fonction de votre recherche, de sorte que la lumière du charbon ou du gaz sera différente de celle de l'électricité. Vous pourrez également choisir la vitesse ou même le temps continu auquel vous souhaitez que le jeu se déroule. De plus, vous pouvez également régler le cycle pour qu'il corresponde à l'horloge de votre ordinateur afin de vous immerger encore plus !
  • Une nouvelle carte papier, inspirée des thèmes lunaires et solaires.
  • Une plus grande variété de tenues vestimentaires - pour illustrer les nombreuses cultures et sociétés de Victoria 3.
  • Quatre nouveaux monuments sur la carte thématiquement liés au ciel nocturne.
  • De nouvelles décorations de table destinées à votre bureau lorsque vous effectuez un zoom arrière
Ci-dessous, je vous laisse avec les deux vidéos de présentations par Paradox ainsi que plus bas, les notes du patch (les premières parties sont traduites et le reste reste en anglais car bien trop précis ou technique)
