Voice of the People adds more Radicals, Reactionaries, and Reformers. In a century of dramatic political upheaval, many world leaders had to deal with influential and charismatic figures - dynamic political personalities who forcefully advocated for social and economic progress or tried to resist the tides of history in favor of tradition. Voice of the People, a new Immersion Pack for Victoria 3, challenges you to handle some of history's greatest political agitators, coming May 22.

In Voice of the People, the new Agitator system is highlighted with the addition of dozens of historical figures who break convention and build political power behind the force of their personality. Meet intellectuals like Mikhail Bakunin, conservative militarists like Georges Boulanger, and voices for freedom like Frederick Douglas in this addition to Paradox Interactive's critically acclaimed historical society simulation.



Features of Victoria 3: Voice of the People include:

  • Over 60 New Historical Characters: Explore new alternate histories with real historical characters, including John Brown, Emmeline Pankhurst, and Enver Pasha.
  • Special Agitator Actions: Aid the agitators by promoting them to lead Interest Groups, or send them into exile to blunt their impact. You can also, in some cases, invite other nations' exiles into your society to take advantage of their ideas.
  • Unique French Content: New events, journal missions, and decisions inspired by French history. Press your advantage in Northern Africa, back one of many royal claimants, or establish a strong French Empire in Europe and worldwide.
  • New French Buildings: Historic structures from France added to the map.
  • New Art: A paper map unique to Voice of the People, wrapped in a new art nouveau appearance. New animations for revolutions highlight the interest groups in revolt, and new clothing and uniforms are added for many societies.


If you pre-order Voice of the People, you will get an additional three historical French characters - the great Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, the author and political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville, and Jules Brunet, the French military advisor to Shogunate Japan.

The release of Voice of the People will accompany a major free update to Victoria 3, available to all Victoria players. This update will include the new Agitator System, which allows individual characters to appear to push for political reforms that may not be available or desired by your current government. There will also be new political ideologies for France, changes to the world map, and reworks of the legislative and revolutionary processes, along with many other changes. For more in-depth gameplay information please read the latest Dev Diary.



Relive the dramatic political events of the 19th century in this first immersion pack for Victoria 3. Drawing from the historical struggles between reformists, reactionaries and revolutionaries, Voice of the People puts you in the middle of political crises as charismatic characters from history vigorously push their agendas.

  • Over 60 New Historical Characters
  • Special Agitator Interactions
  • The Dramatic History of France
  • New Art

Pre-order now: https://bit.ly/3GY2OsR and, as a bonus, receive three additional historical French characters: the wily and determined politician Georges Clemenceau, the liberal philosopher and writer Alexis de Tocqueville, and the military adventurer Jules Brunet.

Victoria 3: Voice of the People will be available on 22 May 2023 for the suggested retail price of $14.99/€14.99/£12.99

Do you know if the game I mostly single core usage

Yes, you can turn off every core but one and the performance will not change at all. A Celeron on water is the best CPU for this game.

I dont want to turn off any cores, more cores the better. I know that paradox likes to use the same game engine over and over that will fully peg 1 single core. During later games the game becomes unplayable. It happens with Hearts of Iron 4 after 1949.

X3D? I thought cache was fantastic for endgame in Paradox stuff.

No, Celerons. Because they haven't updated the engine at all since 2002, Vicky 3 is virtually identical to EU2.

No more cores are actually bad for PDX games because more cores confuses the engine, which is why a 5.2 GHz Pentium D runs HoI4 better than a AMD x5800X3D.

Yeah no it's literally unchanged code from 2002 with a few bits and bobs on top.

Is the sarcasm coming across?

I'd say it wasn't but now maybe it is.

Good job Frick, you are learning to communicate. God knows what this means for the world.

DISCLAIMER: That's a joke.
