Century of revolutions and large wars. People unhappy all over the world and no revolutions, no aggressive attempts to unite Germany from NGF, no AI defending their interests in the world. No unique gameplay for different nations.

Good base for economy system but no stockpiles you can take advantage of for when you expect goods shortages, eg. war with everyone. Price changes are instant, not proggressive supply/demand.

Diplomacy system worse than in EU4. War system might be good on paper but the execution is terrible. Nothing like newspapers in VIC2, no info about events in the world. But there isnt anything interesting happening anyway, so yeah, no big deal.

To not be so negative - The game looks great, I love the look. This game is fun at its core but is missing a lot of things. I am disappointed, I hate that Paradox games are always this shallow at release and I got pranked again. After HoI4, Stellaris etc... This was one game I was looking forward to the most and believed they can finally make it right at the release and build on it. But as for games before, I expect it to get a lot better. For more money, of course. I love Paradox games, I hate that it cannot be good version of itself at the start. I think there should be a lot of free patches to address all these problems, before they start milking money from DLCS. But I dont believe this will happen. We will have to pay to get the game we deserve.
