The Great Wave
Published:
🌊 The Great Wave, Paradox released the second major DLC for Victoria 3 on April 28 alongside patch 1.13 (Matcha). The navy stopped being window dressing: ship designer, flagships, ship exports and proper "gunboat diplomacy" turned fleets into real geopolitical tools.
The DLC's other half delivers a dense narrative for Bakumatsu and early Meiji Japan: an Iwakura mission, rising zaibatsu, ink‑style UI, evolving city models and a soundtrack that shifts from folk to industrial. Naval combat hits harder, AI wobbles, but the result is WILD.
