Star Trek Fleet Command welcomes YOU to Deep Space Nine! ;) wehy.pe/y/5/JumboPixel

Great to have you back in business, JP, and good tips as always. Something I would add is to not confuse your treasury with your economy, and to not be afraid of debt. Lots of players (and lots of KZfaqrs) fall into the trap of overtaxing their people in order to build a gold reserve, and get worried the moment the red bar starts growing. Taxes are money coming OUT of your economy, money your people aren't spending buying stuff, hurting the growth of your GDP. A bigger GDP directly increases your income through minting and it also raises your credit limit, both of which will far outstrip interest payments unless you go nuts with spending. I like to keep my debt about 1/3rd of my credit limit, investing everything I can into building more and more and more. Meanwhile, taxes stay as low as I can manage, so my pops can spend, spend, spend. Same goes for tariffs, which hurt your Pops by artificially raising prices. In summary, money is better in the hands of your people than in your treasury. Always.

the mod "visible pop needs" helps alot with seeing pop needs, and the prices alot quicker... it also lets you see just your general pops across their strata, so what all poor pops are having trouble paying for.

Don't forget also that the more colonies you have, the more time it takes to colonize them, and since we "only" have 100 years per playthrough and integrating a colony can take up to 20 years, it might be more profitable to only colonize the really important ones (i.e those with resources you lack or with a large population) and leave the not-so-vital ones to other powers :)

Nice tips! Def time to get back into this game… You should take on a crazy challenge for a series or something. Say…turning California into it’s own country (something that sounds vaguely sane today but is a bit difficult in Victoria)

A tip for wages early on If u need to drop govt or military wages most often esp early game as a "uncivilized" nation drop the govt. Wages first then military Military is almost always important as army projection helps to prevent invasions as smaller nations while govt. Wages only reduce prestige which doesn't matter unless your a large nation or in midgame and the two groups that are lowered are often weak in uncivilized nations But if your safe from invasion dropping military wages can be worth it, anything to avoid defaulting or going bankrupt as that has more negative effects than any amount of very low wages

They really gotta add more “flavor” to the game, there’s only so much fun to be had in ruining the AI’s economy.

How to manage economy during a war? Protect your trade routes of strategic war resources. Import military stuffs ora produce them by yourself. You should focus only on military equipment? Actiavting conscript let You without worforce how long after the war. IT would be Nice a mod showing how much time needs an industry to fullfiled employment...

Hello Jumbo

Any tip how to reset your economy after an expensive lost war? Is bankrupcy a fast solution? Or start to import some resources for a while... ?! Or start to export some luxury goods? How should be a good flow of returning workers ar their jobs?! What jobs should have priority. Usually i got into a downside economy spiral whatever i do. You stay with the military units fully upgraded or upgrade before You decide to go to war?

Wish my game didnt slow down by 1850/1860 had so much playing vic 3, just gonna play ck3 until they hopefully fix their game.

Why does the war score have a floor of 0 when the power in question is not directly being invaded? The war system is so broken right now, and in a really bad way.

please i am begging you get the cursed pogging victoria off my screen

STREAM WHEN?

I can't have fun in victoria 3 i dont understand how to progress my nation and i feel lost no matter how many tutorials i watch feelsbadman

Yeah, sorry this is still waaaaay to complicated to me. I’ll go back to civ 5 and vic 2
