Paradox: talks about creating a game where you are ruling a nation from the top. Also Paradox: creates a game where you are choosing which type of axes and showels some random miners in Pennsylvania are using.

I popped the game open as soon as it became avaliable and mucked about for a good 2 hours and realized I understood nothing lmao so thank you for this

They've actually made a game with more micro management than vic2. Tis quite an achievement.

Thank you very much. Came from HOI4 thinking it would be similar. Now that I’ve played for 4 hours I understood I did not know what I was doing.

You know it’s a paradox game when the guides are 30mins long if not longer.. To 1-2hours long lol, great job man :D

First game I've played where I was confused while even playing the tutorial.

I have thousands of hours in other Paradox games and this is my first Vic game. I'm going to need like 6 more of these videos please, thank you. Lol

I can see how people might be disappointed by how wars work in this game. I guess you could say it's a very 'radical' change compared to other Paradox games where you're directly in control over units on the battlefield. The combat reminds me a little bit of how Hearts of Iron works, as you just assign commanders to a frontline. The only difference being you can't micromanage individual units. You just have to trust your generals to do a good job. Which is kind of realistic if you think about it.

You presented this video really well. It's the perfect compliment to the game's main tutorials and "why/how do I do this" system.

this is the best guide ive seen today, thanks for keeping it simple while staying on topic with the basics!

Victoria 3, even after my about 100 hours of gameplay, I still have no idea how the economy works, every game I just become a protectorate of a major power to be a parasite on their economy. So thank you so much for this!

I picked USA bc I feel like since I know somewhat of the history and government structure it’ll be easier to follow and manage without it being too confusing but I’m still confused AF!!! Like I literally don’t know what to do lol all I’ve done so far was click improve relations w Texas, then just looked at the screen unpaused like …. 😀

This is what I've been waiting for!

Just learning how to reorder the building que alone was worth watching the video for.

holy crow, I was just getting the hang of Crusader Kings 3 and now this. I had climbed a hill and was pretty satisfied with myself but now there is a mountain in front of me!

just a SHORT 30 min tutorial to be able to start playing this game :)) I love it!

Vic 3 economy and micro management Hoi4 combat Civ2 length of game The best game ever.

Great video! I'll also share a little trick I've learned from CK3: at 22:05 you can right-click the little broom symbol that appears on the right to clear all notifications ;)

Was hoping the military side would be more fleshed out. Bummed how most games have to be either economy or military and not both having depth.

even the tutorial got me so fucking confused LMAO jesust but regardless this game looks like tons of fun so im hoping to get better soon

Thanks for this video. Nice pace and with everything to jump right into it

Vic 3 was actually easier for me to get into than Vic 2. I'm playing my tutorial campaign as Japan right now. It's so much fun!

Straightforward and touches on everything I seem to need to get started. I appreciate it!

Great guide! Never played a Vic game and Vic 3 is my first.

They need to fix the tutorial for this game lol, it lead me straight to civil war, thanks for the video!

I got the game and played while a buddy watched we made belgium a terrible place to live and the economy collapsed at least 5 times but it was a blast.

Elective course: Paradox.

Real men rawdogged the game

OMG! I love you thaks for your tutorial!

There's a lot to the game but this is an excellent teaching video, nicely done. 👍

i got an ad about not playing victoria 3 and insted playing victoria 2

Beginner guide for unrecognized nations please.

I came from CK3, and this game is very, very different.

You are a great content creator. You need way more Subs.

i cant wait to save the world and never give womens suffrage

Hey cool Video. I was part of the Bokoen raid, happy belated birthday.

This video seriously helped.. thanks man!

Fantastic video mate

Thank you i was thinking of trying this but now i am realizing this is mostly an economy managing game not as much as conquest as EU4. So yeah looks like an easy skip, managing that stuff would drive me up the wall.

5:10 I've been changing the production method by clicking the state like a caveman when we got this panel

Just got it stumbling thru the Chilean tutorial lol , thought i was too stupid for this game , prolly still am but im trying .. go the kiwis keep doing what your doing jumbo i like your taste in games

This popped up in my recommenedation and I'm checking this game out now! I have 3,000 hours in Civ 5, i would love to something new, are you guys liking the game?

They should make a mod where it helps manage things (at least on the economics side) for you depending on what mode you select. I know it's a pillar of the game but it has more micromanagement than Vicky 2 and it would be a turn off for many players

the military system. is awful . Not having the possibility like in previous Victoria moving your troops and ships takes off a lot of the fascinating war actions

What does the negative blue number mean? what does the orange bar % mean? Does the negative blue mean the market doesn't need it? There is a shortage? Does orange mean it's to high price to make nobody wants it? Why is there a price and tall coins? Is that mean i gotta pay that to buy my own? do I get that if I ship it?

Man I have a feeling it’s gonna be like ck3 to me. I see a video on it that gets me so excited buy it. Play it and realise I have no experience so get confused so I just stick to watching vids until eventually I create a cannibalistic Baltic empire and rlly enjoy playing

Based Video 👍

this makes chess look simple

Increase in price should go up to 200% and decrease by 90% to be a bit more realistic!

This game is giving me a headache, idk what I’m doing 😂

I can't believe mods were already out mere hours after release

Dear Sir, would be willing to explain to me why even when using an unlimited gold reserves cheat i still screw up my living standard and my people starve? Do i build to many buildings or choose the wrong goverment types?

For every question that is answered, there are 10 new unanswered question’s😅. Start with the basics, why are some numbers green and some red - go from there haha

Too many options do the same thing. makes things harder to get to grips with and makes things clunky & messy.

Watching this coming from about 60 hours on eu4 and 1000+ from hoi4, clocked in about 5 into Victoria and honestly got the hang of it really fast. Just want to know if there’s anything more to learn.

How do you record? I tried to record with OBS, but it's "stuck" on the main menu when I record and play "in" the game.

I play as Japan. It's about the M O N E Y S and always accumulating more stuff, that's why I have 4 "very basic" questions about the game rules: 1) My Gold Mines are producing 35 gold, but nobody buys it. Where does the gold go? Does it produce wealth anywhere, as if I was able to trade it? 2) Uncollected tax money (due to insufficient Taxation Capacity) stays in people's wallets right? Does that mean that countering the Taxation Capacity deficit in Japan only fills up the government coffers at the expense of the wealth of the people? 3) When you have full gold reserves, but still make a "profit" where does the excess money go that can't be stored as gold? 4) What about so called Wasted Taxes due to low Bureaucracy? Does this money just stay in people's wallets, thereby increasing their wealth? Knowing how the game calculates & handles such simple, but impactful stuff is crucial for determining the best strategies. Thanks for your answers, have a nice day!

Respect!

My friend sent me your stream last night i watched a bit of it and liked it, since you tried victoria 3 will you ever try hoi4?

Is the game ready to play in its current state? Or should we wait for a couple of updates/DLCs?

The trade routes that are in high import or export demand seem to be worded backward. I click on things in high demand (export) only to find they are not, it's confusing

I took over all of nigeria cameroon and congo as the uk and maxed out the sugar platations and relied on that i turned queen victoria into a sugar mommy💀

So glad im not the only one lost as sh*t

I wuold like too see a guide to Denmark

This game isnt for me... Literally the most important thing for me is war, intrigue, dominance, absolutely and vicious violence, RPG elements.. Basically things you expect from a grand strategy game where nations compete with each other.. I guess this game will please players that like economy, politics and social dynamics simulators.

I'm worried that being...okaish at the military system in Vicky 3 will make me less terrible with the similar military system in HoI4, which I'm awful at. I play enough Paradox already!

>gets game >skips tutorial because I assume I know what I’m doing >win war against Texas >crash economy a year later due to not knowing how to manage resources and trade

is it possible for wars to last several years? Or does war support fall to quickly?

I came from clash of clans. Very overwhelmed

If they make politics section more simple and fix warfare system this will be best strategy game...

Off work, game downloaded, tutorial up, it's time to micromanage.

for some reason i have a costal state with millions of pops reduced to 70k in a decade after i built rail, why ? i have plenty of jobs and no workers

this game is for nobz. Click trade tab --> check demand --> build high demand goods --> repeat.

Even this beginner's guide is complicated as hell. I think I'll stick with EU4

i preordered the game and in the main menu the curosr bugges freezes on the left side of the screen. i adjusted different graphics options in the launcher and my software of nvidia or anything else is updated so wtf is up! i reinstalled it several times and let steam search for corrupted datas. it's just such a pain in the ass...

OH MY GOD HAHAHA LOVE THIS

thanks

Soo many fucking tabs, wish they condensed it a bit

Paradox vet here with 1000s of hours... Halp I'm so confused!

Guide completely skips how construction costs are calculated, alas. Doesn't it? And it is essential to understand why construction can be so expensive. Also, where do you see how much goods you produce vs your domestic demands?

what on earth is that peace conference at 0:24

Warfare is pretty bad…so bad…it is about production methods, if you are advanced but can’t keep up the production you lose, if the supply lines are too long, you lose, if you can produce everything but your economy is not so strong you will bleed out, and somehow the game does not tell you this at all, that you can’t go to war without going bankrupt…

Okk, more or less you need a Harvard Economics degree to play this game...

A beginners guide that actually was a beginners guide would be pretty handy. Too bad this isn't it. Though I did learn something useful, what institutions are, hovering on the tool tip tells you what they do, not what they are, or where to find them, so thanks for showing that. So starting the game in tutorial mode I select Chile, games starts I go through basic instructions and then unpause the game. Game highlights Journal says build a livestock farm, so far so good. Journal has a second entry, Fix capacity deficit, wtf. OK I click on it and up comes a message, Restore bureaucracy balance. OK, go with the how to fix a capacity deficit instructions, and by the time I reach the end I knew less than when I started. So it does tell me that Institution Investment level might be a thing to deal with this problem. A hotlink to the institutions section of the politics screen would also have been helpful. As we all know Paradox doesn't do helpful. So two hours later and thanks to your video,I go to institutions and see I have level 2 colonialism, so click on level one colonialism and get the message, changing to level 1 50 weeks. Really mor than a year? The game only covers a hundred. Chile has a bureaucracy defict of 25.6, On your video Spain has a bureaucracy deficit of 206. Im guessing you will have that fixed around 1928, or am I missing something? So as a beginners guide, how about a video on fixing Spain's bureaucracy deficit, which would actually help some of us beginners get started.

I played the cracked version and things changed a lot. I managed to run Sweden into the ground trying to learn the game

I don't understand politics, pop and war system at all in this game, and one more thing we need little bit simpler section what our population needs...

Plz do a playthrough

A broken game with no wide screen support .....

Why is the military lens Alt+4? Is this meant to be a joke paradox? Are you meaning to say the military in Victoria 3 is a joke?

ALSO THERE'S QUEEN ISABELLA II OF SPAIN!!!

So, that is an expensive victory for Brazil regarding human losses. At 30:04 Brazil has already 22,500 dead and 18,800 wounded troops against 7,280 dead and 8,009 wounded troops at the side of Gráo-Paro. Shame to the Brazilian commander, what a butcher his is for his own troops, the Brazil human losses shall never return home and can't be used any more after the demobilisation in the Brazil economy. By the way, now we can see that the battlefield model is much better as many said with simularities with HoI4 as there exist real units and the generals have real ranks with the compared to their rank realistic limited capacities to command troops effective. And the generals also use changing tactics on the battlefield against each other as in HoI4 battles.

oh brother an i thought hoi4 was complicate

Victoria 3 is the definition of masochism.

I hope this game will flop so we will get a great 2.0

You sound like UK PM

You have a 100 tops 😅

i took all your advices , started with afghanistan , took persia and nearly everyone around me as puppets or simply conquered em , grew really big and then fckn murica came and freed everyone i captured in last 10 years. like can this country stop stickin his nose everywhere at least in a video game? and yes i'm mad and yes i deleted that whole save file.

pros don't even exist yet

IDK it seems too boring.

1) One don't waste your money 2) Buy Vic2 3) Actually enjoy a good game Here is a simplified guide
