Apocalypse Then: Victoria II - Heart Of Darkness

Victoria II's Heart of Darkness expansion focuses on the colonisation of Africa but also bolsters the possibilities for smaller nations to meddle in global affairs. The enhanced colony mechanics include escalating crises, improved naval combat and expanded diplomatic negotiations, all of which will also impact on other nation-building activities. The expansion will be available on April 16th and pre-orders are now open, with a variety of digital shops, prices and incentives already listed. In other news, the stuffed shirts in Paradox' Department of Serious Historical Matters refused to join in with the lies and deceit merriment of April Buffoons' Day but did announce Europa Universalis: The Musical, which you can see below.
