/pol/nigger off topic thread but it lets me talk about Victoria 3's ACW.
Because they wanted to show off their "dynamic mechanics", instead of hardcoding it with events and triggers, they coded it so any revolt of the Landowner class in the US after slavery is banned is automatically named the Confederacy.

This causes a lot of problems, first of all, not all landowners in the US were Southern planters. Plenty of them in the Free states of the North, and this can cause bizarre scenarios where Pennsylvania or New York join the Confederacy simply because they have landowners, because the game doesn't differentiate between planters and regular gentry. Second of all it frames the secession as only instigated by the Southern landowners, when in fact plenty of the poor whites supported it because they saw slavery as the natural God given order of things, despite not affording any slaves themselves.

tldr Victoria 3 is dogshit
