Paradox Interactive has unveiled details about the goals program for its upcoming grand strategy game Victoria 2. With the new goal system you can add goals that are clearly linked to a particular peace deal at just about any time. If you want territory in the game, you tell your opponents, and your allies, specifically what you are after. When peace talks commence, the player will know exactly what the AI opponent wants, rather than leaving the negotiations to chance.

Victoria 2 is a grand strategy game set during the 19th century. Players will guide their nation from an era of absolute monarchies through expansion in the hopes of attaining great power at the dawn of the 20th century.

Victoria 2 is scheduled for release August 13.
