Even though it's going to take a while until all the described changes and fixes are in, the game should be a substantially better product in a few months' time, according to Anward. Overall, the changes described in Paradox's new dev diary suggest that the developer is fairly in tune with its community's wishes. Paradox's Game Director Martin Anward said that the list of changes described in this new developer diary is "not even close to being an exhaustive list of everything want to do." Expansion packs are certainly coming, too, explained Anward, but those aren't currently the priority for the developer. Now that Paradox Interactive canceled multiple unannounced games, its existing and ongoing properties are all the more important, and Victoria 3's unique focus on the economy and societal progress, rather than military clashes, makes it a particularly noteworthy highlight of the studio's roster. Examples include tweaks to the way AI handles various developing situations, as well as improving interactions in various contextually sensitive situations.

Though generally positively reviewed, Victoria 3 still seems to have a long way to go before it's a fully matured grand strategy experience.
