DLC Victoria 3 : Sphere of Influence | Steam

Buy the Sphere of Influence DLC for Victoria 3 on Steam

Put your diplomatic skills to the test in Sphere of Influence, a new expansion for Victoria 3. Lure other nations into your orbit using your diplomatic skills, economic clout or direct bribery. Build an enduring international faction of like-minded governments, pursuing common goals for the good of all and the glory of your power.

Paradox Interactive's Victorian grand strategy simulation offers new ways to impose your will on the world. A coalition of reactionary powers can form blocs to counter the threat of liberal forces in other nations. Use your economic power to co-opt or coerce other regimes, and spread the banner of your ideology wherever your fleets can reach. Resist domestic pressure or use it to change your traditional foreign policy, while economic and ideological agitators push you to create new coalitions of power.

Sphere of Influence adds numerous actions and systems to illustrate the changing nature of diplomatic relations during this dramatic age, including new content specific to the Great Game: those decades of competition between the British and Russian empires for dominance in northern India and Central Asia.

Features of Victoria 3: Sphere of Influence include:

• Fierce competition: use your prestige to become a great power and create your own power block! Dominate other nations with a diplomatic agreement to pursue common economic and ideological goals, whether that's supporting free trade around the world or spreading specific values to other nations.
• Power bloc customisation: choose the identity and principles of your nebula, whether it's a group focused on ideological concerns like the Comintern, or an economically oriented bloc promoting the integration of national markets, like the Zollverein. You can even personalise the colours and emblems of your bloc!
• "The Great Game": new events, diary entries and decisions inspired by the Russo-British rivalry in Central Asia, and a new objective, you can embody any of the powers central to this conflict, including Persia and Afghanistan. A redesigned map highlights the many disputed interests on the border between these empires.
• Foreign investment: invest in the economic development of countries outside your direct zone of influence and benefit from their financial success.
• Nationalisation: stage a diplomatic coup to seize foreign assets in your own country and prevent your wealth going overseas.
• Interactions with subjects: adjust the payments of your vassals and protectorates, intervene in their internal politics and much more!
• Interest group lobbies: domestic interest groups will pursue foreign policy objectives, working towards cordial relations with some countries and hostile relations with others. They may even influence the development of friendly lobbies in other nations.
• Power bloc monuments: build majestic monuments to increase your bloc's influence and dominance over world events.
• New historical atmosphere: new historical characters and companies, mostly centred on content from the Great Game, but also more events, diary entries, lobbying content, new clothing and event graphics.
