Paradox Interactive has just launched Victoria 3: Charters of Commerce, a new Mechanics Pack. Victoria 3 (Vic 3), Paradox Interactive’s societal simulation of the tumultuous century from 1836 to 1936. This latest addition dives deep into the game’s trade system, offering players new ways to manage their nation’s economy and influence global markets.

For Victoria 3’s base game, our critic said, “Victoria 3 is a game that requires patience and homework, but once you get the hang of things can be tons of fun. The game offers so much variety both in terms of ways to play and succeed along with unique challenges in the array of nations to choose from to play with. Victoria 3 definitely has some things it can improve on and can be a lot to ingest for new players. However, we already know there are more updates and content coming in the pipeline so there will be continued support and Victoria 3 can only get better from here.”
