Victoria 3's first gameplay DLC lets you invite Marx and Lenin to your place for tea and revolution

Victoria 3 has announced its first piece of gameplay-focused DLC, and it sounds radical. The Voice of the People immersion pack(opens in new tab) releases on May 22 alongside Vicky 3's 1.3 update, and adds a whole roster of historical troublemakers and rabble-rousers to the game in the form of agitators, «a new kind of character that rally your pops to support Political Movements that align with their Ideology».

A full Victoria 3 game runs from 1836 to 1936, so you can probably guess the kind of historical figures the Voice of the People pack is playing with. People like Sun Yat-sen, Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Rosa Luxemberg will crop up, mobilising the unwashed masses against the benevolent rule of your empire's political elite. Or, if you genuinely want to change things up, you can invite them in yourself, putting yourself on the road to revolution.

Marx, for example, will try to kick off a movement for a council republic, while your more demure, bourgeois Victor Hugo types will settle for a presidential system, and other figures of other political strains will have their own causes. I assume Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's win condition will be the construction of a society that guillotines him as a conservative.

You don't have to tolerate them, though. Like the real-life governments of 19th century Europe did to, uh, pretty much all of the people in this expansion, you can always exile them if they get too irritating. Let Switzerland figure out what to do with Lenin; I'm sure he'll never, ever, ever come back.

The whole pack has a French theme, which makes sense given France's admirable historical commitment to occasionally setting its entire ruling class on fire, and will introduce a few new events to spice up French
