Afghanistan in Victoria 3 is a land of verdant possibilities and in this video we will transform our tribal clan into a caliphate of poppy production in V3. Can we Afghani-stand up to British production and forge a future for our farming fiefdom in India and beyond? Lets trade in Victoria 3 and “pop” into action in the latest AlzaboHD V3 mockumentary - featuring Victoria 3 and Afghanistan. Whether you're looking to boost your economy in V3 or master trade in Victoria 3 this alternative history has what you need.

This may seem a weird comment, but I've noticed a trend among other map-staring channels I enjoy and I want to go ahead and say, I enjoy your channel just the way it is and specifically *without* a facecam. There's a lot happening on screen in a game like Vicky 3, and your current style of narration and focus based editing is, in my opinion, already an ideal format for this style of game!

Isn't the reputation of "graveyard of empires" wildly overstated? Iirc England invaded twice, failing the first time and winning the second time but still being a true empire for quite some time. And the Soviets would've fallen apart maybe a little slower if they hadn't invaded but they were beyond broke at the time either way.

CK3 is a more worthy purchase right now. It has significantly more content, users, and mods. Maybe after the first major update/dlc Victoria 3 might be worth purchasing, but right now, the price is a little too high for such a content less game.
