Victoria 3 National Awakening Announced
Family Friendly Gaming News
STOCKHOLM - 05 AUGUST in the year of our Lord 2025
- Though the Napoleonic Age has faded, the nationalist fervors
excited by the export of Revolution have stirred the populations of
East and Central Europe. Though no longer a Holy Roman Emperor, the
Habsburg Crown in Vienna rules over one of the most multinational
states in Europe. A German elite dominates dozens of large minority
populations, each clamoring for more control of their own destiny.
Meanwhile, a weakened Ottoman Empire opens opportunities to use
nationalist enthusiasm for meddling in the Balkans. On 23 September,
you can explore the history of the Habsburg Empire and its neighbors
in National Awakening, a new immersion pack for Victoria 3, Paradox
Interactive’s grand strategy society simulator of the dramatic
century between the accession of Queen Victoria and the beginnings
of World War II.
The liberal revolutions of 1848 were the culmination of decades of
internal struggle, and the suppression of these revolts would
complicate Austrian politics until the empire’s 20th century
collapse. In National Awakening, you can steer your way through the
crises that remade the political map of Europe.
Victoria 3: National Awakening has new historical content related
to:
Austria: Guided by the bureaucratic and diplomatic genius of
Metternich, Austria starts in a strong position - but social and
technological revolutions threaten to undermine the absolute

crucial weight in the balance of power in Eastern Europe.

of the Karadjordjevic and Obrenovic dynasties.

reputation of Prussia of the Balkans.
Montenegro: Lead this tiny theocratic state to secular monarchy and
potential expansion.
Yugoslavia and Illyria: Form a new southern Slavic state, based on
the historical Serbian led model or an alternate Croatian-Slovene
nation.

deals an almost fatal blow to Ottoman power in Europe as formerly
