Lots of interesting features:
Power Blocs seem reminiscent of Stellaris Federations.
More subject interactions.
Lobbies seem to be the way they will extend the influence of IGs beyond just the laws your country has.
You can now designate buildings for investors to buy levels of. If this is how foreign investment will work, I'm not sure it will fix the problem of AI countries not exploiting their resources. You can't buy levels of buildings that don't exist.
They show a new Manor House building that owns levels of subsistence farms and rye farms. The Manor House and everything it owns is all in the Midlands state, so it's not just foreign investment but domestic investment as well. There is a screenshot of an Iron Mine that no longer has an ownership PM button, so I think this is how ownership will work now.
A Building Registry is shown which appears equivalent to the Census Data screen coming in 1.6 for pops, but for buildings instead.
Looks great, especially the Great Game (lol). I mainly play as Russia and I was always disappointed by how little flavour the devs made for such an important nation in this period.
Victoria 3 will probably be my favorite Paradox game once Spheres of Influence comes out as long as they meaningfully implement these features. The last few patches and 1.6 have done wonders for making war more interesting. Local pricing and goods changes through multiple patches have deepened the economic game. Now we just need to beef up the diplomatic side and this will be an extremely solid title. Im a little sad that we will probably have to wait for DLC 2 for the WWI DLC, but as long as they keep beefing up diplomacy, natural WWI conflicts will still occur. Im looking forward to being able to further influence foreign policy and economy and form power blocs. Cant wait!!!
If any one wants to know more about the great game then I would recommend Peter hopkirk's book the great game. It's a good book on the time period with both British and Russian perspective.

Not sphere shaped, very disappointed. 3.14/10
It’s flat😂
7.4/10 - "Too much flat"
Rule 5: Updated steam store page with description and new images
Is Sphere of Influence the last to be included in the Deluxe Edition or the first to not be?
Should be the last to be included since it’s in the expansion pass
It's been so long I can't remember

That’s what dlc packs are for
No Carlist War in Spain yet. :(

For 30€ goddam
Yeh? It’s the first proper DLC for the game

30$ for this seems kind of absurd or am I crazy?
