To substantiate this claim I will consider the four major aspects of the game: buildings, trade, politics, and diplomacy. Many actions are obvious and don't involve any actual decisions, but are just busy work. My hypothesis is that there is some major design flaw at the heart of Victoria 3: There are very few meaningful decisions. However, after I figured out how to build an economy efficiently, I started to disengage and I wondered why. But since I have a couple of thousand hours in EU3 and EU4, I was looking forward to something else.) And I had fun playing Victoria 3 in the beginning. ![]() (I am not adverse to games that focus on war. And I really like the idea of a game that shifts the focus away from war and instead focusses on internal politics and diplomacy. Would be splendid to have me a homely playful and eye-pleasing font in the editor and terminal.I want to love Victoria 3. It's a pity they're mostly present on loud posters. The brain begins to panic at first when it sees stroke contrast but no serifs-but such fonts do tickle me somehow, especially with modern humanist approach. Lucida Grande (iirc) has hints of variable strokes. Optima is a classical example, also reminiscent of antiqua. Humanistic Rosario has almost imperceptible, subliminal stroke contrast: (The font suffers a bit from sub-ideal kerning.) It's a straightforward antiqua with serifs chopped off: ![]() Linux Biolinum is one sans-serif example that can be used as body font. While monospace is not equal to sans-serif, it for some reason rejects variable stroke widths even more strongly. But no, such fonts exist, only they are mostly used for display, i.e. Variable stroke width is really uncommon in sans-serif fonts, so that some people associate sans-serif with fixed-width strokes. Current monospace typefaces seem to converge towards a single point in the configuration space, and by now occupy a pretty narrow range of variation-rather evident in the ‘Programming Fonts Test Drive.’ My eye pines for some elegance among the ubiquitous brutish utilitarian letterforms. I'd really like to see a monospace font with variable stroke width (i.e. If the font is readable at that size then it has good geometry and can be used on most low resolution displays (it is a range I came up with after experimenting with a 768p 15.6" laptop display) as previously mentioned sometimes it is handy to be able to lower the size in order to get a better view of the context. ![]() Although I no longer use mini map like features of text editors (in part due to the novelty wearing off and in part due to my move away from VS Code as my primary IDE/Editor to Neovim), such fonts make the mini map almost readable on large high resolution displays (which again, provides better context for the code I am editing). when looking at logs, database dumps or large forigen text files in general, it is often convenient for me to set the font to a smaller size in order to get better context from surrounding text and for this purpose, I need the font to be able to facilitate my workflow regardless of size and resolution of my current display. Good question, Although the numbers are almost arbitrary there are a couple of reasons:
