Damn. I was interested, just not committed. Victorian is a weird era imo, I don't like world campaigns, just Europe-sized campaigns. And no, "Europe is in this, too!" doesn't cut it, late period games are just about fighting for colonies and making backstabs in Europe, I find that really boring. If it was medieval, when Europe looked like shattered glass, then hell yes.
Guns and cannons and resources need to be basic and scarce for things to be interesting, imo.
