A mod for Victoria 3 featuring a completely custom AI that manages the economy, infrastructure development, and budget of the countries it controls.
It became the most popular Victoria 3 mod during its active development, reaching over 125,000 unique users on official platforms alone, not counting manual installations.
The built-in game AI is fully disabled, the mod's AI operates independently and is written entirely from scratch.
The AI bases its decisions on real-time analysis of in-game market data, using fully dynamic logic instead of rigid scripted build orders.
The mod is written in Paradox's proprietary scripting language, which isn't designed for complex logic, making this project a major technical challenge and one of the few mods of its kind across all Paradox games.
Community engagement
I focused heavily on engaging with the game's community to promote the mod, answer questions, and gather feedback.
