EU4 Flavour: We are a minor nation in northern Indonesia that is the #1 seafaring society with a profitable trade web between our coastal brothers and a full mission tree based around ocean dominance. Vicky III Flavour: We are the leading producer of *maize* and *cotton* in the world

Preserve the ducats! Down with the pound tyranny!

i love the fact that the flag changes with more states

@Ludi I think if you fully mobilize your conscripts, your army scares the filling out of Mexico’s taco, and they back down; forfeiting the initial state you are demanding. If you only mobilize your professional army the diplomatic push goes to war then you can take several states in the first war. You can mobilize the conscripts after the war starts, though you only need like 2 dozen extra troops to stomp Mexico

Ludi out here saying Americans are poor. Sir, you are Romanian.

Bruh... but we do have public Healthcare... we have public but what most people don't realize is that a majority is private Healthcare from jobs, so if you're not working you have public if you're working you have private foe the most part. Now the quality depends from job to job, but we ain't a backwards country. Now, the coverage tends to be absolutely shit, but we have Healthcare

As an american ludi had me crying with some of these jokes lmao

The reason Mexico kept backing down is that the ai decides if it worth losing one state vs how scared they are of losing all your war goals. So the more you ask for from a weaker country, the more likely they will just give the first war goal to you.

America does have public health insurance, it's called Medicaid and Medicare. It's just not universal, they are only for the elderly, the poor (Especially those with kids), and the disabled. We spend 1.4 trillion a year on them both combined, which makes our military spending look like a joke in comparison. It's also taxed differently, and you can actually opt out of paying for it but you can't receive any form of social security (Welfare) after it though and if you have received any social security after the age of 18, you have to pay it all back first before you can opt out. Also I think the child labor stuff should be changed because society has changed, when I was 14 I wanted to work to have some money for video games and that sort of thing, but here in the USA you can't allow a 14-16 year old to work more than 18 hours a week, during school weeks which is a little more than 3/4 of the year, even if they wanted to. So what ends up happening is that they just don't hire anyone under the age of 16 at all, and even some places, generally, won't even hire anyone under the age of 18 like Walmart. The reason why child labor was, justifiably, look down on is because the working conditions were terrible and they would work them just as much as an adult, and back then it wasn't 40 hour working weeks it was more like 60, while the jobs were back breaking labor like coal mining and sweat shop style factories. And a lot of the times the child isn't working because they want some video games either, they were forced to work by their parents to put some food on the table. And they would be TOO young as well, like 8 year old's work in coal mines which is very disheartening. Also it would get in the way of the child to go to school.

Glad to see the NSA is sponsoring ludi

Was just about to mention how it's pounds not ducats and then you corrected yourself and I had a good laugh. Love your content!

I absolutely love how Ludi has a folder with his 3 favourite gifs and using them in every video is a must-have 🤣

I love your content man, literally addicted to watching it. Wish you good luck and faster sieges.

I did a few American playthroughs, what seemed to work out for me is; rush industrial tech (almost as always) and build unis at the start to reach the cap of innovativness. The American decisions, I haven't notcied yet, so I usually just go for puppeting then annexing Mexico, same with Canada later on. Also, if you do your things right, the main problem you face should be the lack of workforce. Pop down Greener Grass Campaigns at the start and focus on migration boosting, keeping empty jobslots, so overbuilding your provinces is also a good thing for this case. In the game I'm in right now, New York has around 13 million pops in 1870.

Ludi in eu4: Hehe lets "change" culture hehe genocide hehe Ludi in Victoria: Poor cherokees are u ok? :'(

To answer your question on 2 of your previous Vicky vids: Doesnt Celebes called Sulawesi? Yes, the official name of the island is Sulawesi, Celebes name came from Portugal settlers that came into Indonesia shortly after the Dutch. Just like Borneo is the name that Dutch settlers gave whereas the official name/localized name is Kalimantan. As Indonesian myself, I can confirm that this is a valid fact 😁

Spending 5 minutes talking about the plight of the native americans followed by "Ooh! Andrew Jackson" was 10/10

It is of course important to learn the history of what happened to the natives (which we Americans did, at least when I was growing up), but it's even more important to know that mistreatment of natives continues today. And not just in the US; it continues in Canada and Australia too. We don't hear about those cases nearly as much because the US has become the world's scapegoat. People don't hear about their own countries' messed up problems because their politicians and media just point at the US and "look at how out-of-control their problems are, glad you don't live there right?". For whoever is reading this, it's true US has problems; but focus on your own country's problems lest more problems sneak in while your eyes are distracted by ours.

more vicky 3 content! Nice! I hope your yt blows up even more, you deserve it.

Luid in EU5 : "I have to spend 100 pounds to buy this building"

I just realized each state has bonus multiplikators for resources. Florida for example has 10% Sulfur mine throughput, although it is not possible to build sulfur mines in Florida. Great job pdx.

Thank you Ludi for putting out so many entertaining videos. You always brighten my day when I see you post!

"Needs to be talked more about in school" Ludi I know you're not an American but they taught us extensively about the trail of tears and other atrocities against the native Americans, and this stuff is talked about constantly in our country. If your country isn't talking about it, it's likely because it's none of their business.

the ai is backing down because it is terrified of you. So it just gives the primary goal to avoid war.

Going from absurdism to NBC The More You Know repeatedly is giving me whiplash.

Also love how you yanked America out of their debt spiral here good stuff this is actually a *better* timeline than IRL lol.

I'd like to see a Sweden 🇸🇪 into Scandinavia

Manifest destiny was the real life border gore casus belli

Vicky 3 is out for like 5 minutes, and every video about it is something along the lines of "no one choses this path as X" I love it

I hate how when nations capitulate before the war starts, one gets only the initial claim. Over time I learned to control how much I have at the front so as to not scare the enemy from backing down.

Ray Charles: comes from Georgia Ludi: mocks Georgia's art record Ray Charles: am I a joke to you ;-;

"What was the reason for the US to take these state?" I imagine like everyone else in the 19th Century the answer is, "Because we could?"

The game picked some real random characters for that caning event. In real life if was Preston Brooks who beat Charles Sumner with his cane. Henry Clay was a prominent American politician, the most powerful person in Congress for a time and four time failed Presidential contender. Cornelius Vanderbilt was never a slave owner. He was a New Yorker and for a time the richest man in America being a huge shipping magnate and railroad tycoon. He actually tried to donate boats to the Union war effort during the Civil War. He played a big part in helping John D. Rockefeller his start in the oil industry.

I cannot live without you!!

Loved the video and got a chuckle during your talk about child labor. The irony was that you had Florida in the background and pretty much directly to the left of your face is where Disneyland is located. A company that is totally honest, wholesome, and great in all of it's dealings. Keep up the great videos.

Ludi having to make multiple attempts to get states from Mexico is a really big problem with the games mechanics. And this isn’t the first time I’ve seen things happen like this. Laith played with Koifish and they couldn’t invade Nejd because of the impassible terrain, which was never listed anywhere. As the US, there really shouldn’t be any reason why the government can build anything, it just doens’t have that power.

I really want to try to go for regress build with the States - Get the max amount of authority possible and play around with the bonuses you can get with it. (+20% production on chosen states, +100% migration attraction etc.)

I love all of your videos Ludi

It would be really fun to play as the USA, and trigger the meiji restoration by forcing Japan to open its market and stuff, because otherwise it never will.

As an American I can say our literacy rate is lower than 45% I am the only one in my family that can read, only 7 people can actually read, and live exactly like a 1st century Slave.

I can't wait until they fix warfare over the next two to five years in $200 of DLC

Recently found your channel, loving your vic3 vids!

Get em lubi

6:28 Paradox has an event with that joke

"I wish it were discussed more in schools." It is. It's talked about a lot. It's talked about every Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day. It's discussed with Slavery, and Black History Month. It's discussed with constant discussion about Undocumented Immigrants. Americans are NEVER let to forget any of these for even a moment in our schools, media, and politics.

POV you saw that black spot on the bottom left of your screen and got scared it was actually there.

That intro was BRUTAL.

You have the first demand fulfilled if your opponent in the diplomatic game chicken out. You may try to postpone mobilization to make the enemy less afraid of you. At least that is written in dev diaries.

"Why did they wanted to conquer these lands from Mexico" Because Manifest Destiny was the Anschluss of the USA, but don't bring that up if you don't want to get people throw stones at you

Ludí thinks it should be discussed more in American schools - this must be based on his many hours spent in…American schools.

24:38 Holy shit Ludi just spat absolute facts

When one party backs down in diplomatic play, only the major war goal is enforced. Also from my experience, AI backs down 99% of the time when they are fearful, so I never bother to add any war goal if no one supports them

I always appreciate an おはいお joke. It's a sweet うた for my ears.

The strange things about kids who worked , it's that some people emmigrated to the states to make their kids work in the mine again !

24:25 America gave women the right to vote in 1920.

According to the thumbnail I'd call the united steaks of america

80% of children surveyed after the advent of compulsory education reported that they would rather work in a factory.

Americans should really be thankful and celebrate, that the natives just happened to decide to give them their land postmortem.

In an update, the game should make it so that you can get the Mexican cession after fighting the war, then later negotiate the Gadsden purchase like you negotiate the Oregon territory and Alaska purchase

Paradox could easily fix the enemy nations just backing down by making it necessary for the attacker to approve of the back down. Like if you wanted all of the manifest destiny lands why would you just settle for one state

Definitely the best viccy 3 youtuber, gonna have to check out your eu vids

I'm sorry Ludi, but your puns are on the same level as Musk's 'let that sink in' nonsense.

Lmao “Indians are a wonderful people who deserve more.” Not one second later Andrew Jackson bribes ludi

I am thankful I didnt work on a mine, and just a farm when I was a child. 😂

Healthcare: ok kinda fine Womens suffrage: 🤢

The U.S.A is a complete juggernaut. At the end game I had at least 8 pages in the construction tab building at the same time. Over 2b GDP

You're thinking of militarized police. Dedicated Police is a state sponsored entity while local police is something like a sheriffs office. Basically out of the three options you picked, you picked the one that is least American.

i love your humour so much hahaha

Trade Unions Intelligentisa Petite Bourguoisie and Rural Coalition? Dude founded the Modern Labor partty before the Labor party was even a thing.

Colon is Columbus in Spanish lol

Chamberlain prime minister of Mexico? Nice appeasement policy.

Have not tried victoria 2 nor 3 so I am totally outdated (old man alert). Back in the day in Victoria (first version), when I played USA I never developed the south prior to the civil war - just curious why you went that way :D

We can headcanon that those are Zouave units, not Ottomans. Zouaves were US military forces who dressed like that. But they didn't exist till the Civil War.

this is the miracle of the American planned economy)

Good video keep op the good work❤😂

9:10 The US-Americans needed some nice deserts, where there could deport their natives to.

"Henry Clay, an outspoken abolitionist, has been beaten with a cane by Cornelius Vanderbelt, a slave owner." There are so many things wrong with this sentence it hurts.

Ludi, hold back man! We Americans are already dead after the first 3.5 minutes into the video!

I laughed that you got Texas, then you got Chile.

Hey @ludiethistoria, you already mentioned that Shift would add 5 with a click, ctrl adds 10 if you didn't know.

In my game Canada took one province in Montana and thus I couldn’t buy Washington, so I had to go to war for it. The Mexicans (who still had the southwest) sided with the Canadians so I added a bunch of war goals and had to fight a 2 front war along with my convoys getting raided by the British. I got everything EXCEPT Washington

Healthcare isnt a right, rights arent something you can sign a check for. They are guaranteed.

Tons of video game artists graduate from Georgia and get jobs in California every year. Georgia is the 3rd largest entertainment industry in the US.

The U.S. was the first nation I played as, and it was a good starting nation. I colonized Canada, West Africa, Oceania, and Indonesia. Industrial wise I kinda made a traditional American industry with major coal mines in regular and West Virginia; steel factories and motor industries in northern states like Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana; and alot of agriculture in the Southern and Midwestern states.

Tip : If you pass muticulture you will annex indian territories automaticly

FunFact, Germany outlawed child labor because too many children where missing the mandatory school years (implemented by Bismarck).

Hype hype! I love your contents!!!

Ludi pls continue this campaign

Great video Ludi! I just got Vicky3 myself, so watching you makes me understand the game better. If you ever get around to doing Norway I'd appreciate your insight, because the country was a !"#%-stain during this period, and impossible to get anywhere... (Or I just really suck at the game.. which is most likely the case). Have a great weekend. Cheers from the North.

Everyone: playing vicky 3 Me: Playing imperator rome so that i could have a mega campaign that doesnt gets to vicky until vicky converters are released

I banned slavery in 1840, but it should have been earlier, It was close to 40% if I remember correctly, and it went down the first debate.

But I'm an American, and I already have health insurance...

How Much Likes It Takes For Part 2 The SECRET USA PUPPET JAPAN ??

Ah, yes. The steel production of Minnesotans.

Yes, I start to try this game. Normally, I remain an "old player" in 1400s

I mean Vanderbilt University is in Tennessee, and it's a fairly liberal-arts university that is the Harvard of the South.

By the way, turkish women had voting rights earlier than american women so...there's that.

Is the music same like in EU3?

Didn’t this guy grow up in Romania and in Japan? Why is this Baffoon talking about us history?
