uggggh i hate that paradox games have become alt-historical fantasy wish fullfillment simulators but they are!!
Vic 3 is infinitely better in this regard than HoI4, which is effectively a "here's how Germany could have won" simulator for pea-brained fascists.
Idk about that. Staging the Italian Revolution, yeeting Mussolini 7-8 years early and liberating all of continental Europe along with my Soviet comrades was pretty wish-fulfillment-y.
Granted, it's all abstract for non-military aspects of the world so V3 wins out in that regard. Some mods add more flavor (via walls of text a la TNO) so there is something unique about Hoi4.
Broke: Making Germany win
Woke: Making Germany lose faster and harder than in real life
Winning the Spanish Civil War as the Republicans always feels pretty good too
Eh, they're still capitalists. The true gangsta move is going with the anarchists and being able to core the entire world.
