The goal is not to change vanilla Vicky unnecessarily, but to smooth the rough edges that players experience and create a working world economy and a rich historical context for both historically-minded and sandbox players. It's become something of an unofficial expansion pack, and one that is continually growing as more and more gets added into it.
It not only adjusts the economy and migration mechanics but also introduces a host of new decisions, events and mechanics suggested by a wide variety of players in this sub-forum – thus providing the mod's unofficial second name: 'People's Democratic Mod'. ĭon't let the name fool you - while the 'Pop Demand Mod' started out as a discussion of how to improve and balance Victoria II's economy, it grew into a full mod focused on making the economy work smoothly but with comprehensive coverage of other areas. To download the latest versions of PDM, please visit the POP Demand Mod forum. PDM completely reworks the VIC2 economy, and adds hundreds of new events, decisions and game mechanics, all with the goal of making a more historically plausible and fun experience. Pop Demand Mod ( PDM) is a mod project for Victoria 2, a real-time grand strategy game published by Paradox Interactive and set in the Victorian era.
