About Victoria 3: Starter Edition

About this game

Victoria 3: Starter Edition

Prepare to dominate a century of dramatic technological innovation and social upheaval with the Victoria 3: Starter Edition, the ideal combination of titles to get you on your way to building an empire to define the modern age.

The Victoria 3: Starter Edition gives newcomers to the game a robust starting point to begin their exploration of a detailed simulation of the world’s societies in the Victorian Age and beyond. Build a strong industrial base to satisfy the needs of your people, a robust political culture to advance your population's well-being, and an advanced military to fend off hungry rivals.

The Victoria 3: Starter Edition includes:

Victoria 3 Base Game: Choose any one of over a hundred nations, large and small, and build a rich and strong society. Research new technologies and unlock new social, industrial and military ideas as you lead your country through the age of steam and coal. Nurture alliances and build a trading empire as you colonize distant lands, bringing their natural resources to your factories.

Sphere of Influence: This expansion pack for Victoria 3 deepens the diplomatic side of the game through the addition of power blocs - groups of nations that come together under the aegis of a great power to advance specific economic or political goals. Domestic lobby groups will advocate for new alliances, and foreign investment treaties offer new ways to make money and leverage influence over other nations.

American Buildings Pack: This art pack includes on map models for major American landmarks, including the American Capitol, the seat of political power in  the rapidly expanding United States.

Colossus of the South: This region pack focuses on the history of South America, with a special emphasis on the history of Brazil, where a reformist emperor challenged powerful slaveholding landowners in an effort to modernize this giant of the continent. It also includes new content for Bolivia, Gran Colombia, Paraguay and more.
