GFM Mod is a free mod for the grand strategy game Victoria II. The mod is fan-made and aims at bringing a range of improvements to the game, which is no longer being worked on or updated by the game’s original developers, who have since moved on to a sequel in the form of Victoria 3.

This mod offers several updates to Victoria II, from speed improvements to quality of life improvements. The overall purpose of the mod is to improve the playability of an old game, which has generally been considered quite poor, particularly when it comes to performance.

Breathing new life into Victoria II

Victoria II is a grand strategy game set between 1836 and 1936. It allows the player to take control of a state during this period and control almost all aspects of it, including political, diplomatic, economic, and military. Thanks to its detail, the game grew considerably popular but less so for its performance. GFM Mod aims to fix this issue.

Improvements

The main aim of the mod is to improve the performance of the game, which it seems to achieve quite admirably. It also features things like all-new artwork for terrain pictures, changes to certain states to improve playability, fixes for some issues in the game, and more.

A good mod for fans of Victoria II

While this mod achieves its goal of improving the fundamental Victoria II experience, it doesn’t significantly change the gameplay, meaning anyone who was not a fan of the game originally will unlikely change their mind with this mod.
