Victoria 3 is an old-school grand-style strategy game in which players control over 100 countries in the historical period from 1836 to 1936. If that specific time period is something that interests you as well as the ability to manage the whole country through diplomacy and politics rather than war – this is the game for you!
But if things get too tough, there are some cheats to help you on your way to being the best 19th-century politician. Check out the cheats for Victoria 3 below.
