@Miraak its still fun dont give up yet broaden ur horizen brother

@Miraak lmao

Fun game init

Tbh the main reason I'm trying so hard to learn how to play this game it's because I feel once I know how to navigate the physical mechanics of it I'll be in for a really fun crash course on economics in history. But holy Christ of Nazareth I do not know how to build anything

@@testecalle3378 well it's probably still easier than reading Marx's Capital so you can at least take some solace in that

Leave it to the potato to do exactly that

I'd watch.

we need it though

Can you really over explain one of the most complex games on the market?

All Paradox Interactive games are nice. Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron and Victoria. Check the others out as well.

'Nice' is perhaps the wrong word, given the sort of things you can do in most of them. 'Blimmin' good fun' might be more descriptive.

Vicky 2, Ck2 and EuIV is way better than this game I'm afraid. They also had way more years of development and dlcs though.

@Miraak Ye, stay away for a while, a lot of things are not working as intended. "Content creators" make a living on the hype though and would push a pile of shit as diamonds if they can make a buck.

I played about 10h since yesterday and i love it so so much! Have fun :D

Definitely so! Interconnected things always form a net od forces that affect eachothers so going to explain those trings is really usefull!

Yeah...the production chain finally clicked with me when I was playing an Isolationist country.

You also have a sandbox mode where u have no objectives and do whatever u want

To be fair to him, because of how imtertwined everything is in this game it’s a difficult not to be all over the place.

@@not_nixon1655 yea, whenever a topic is complicated it can be hard to not get sucked down all the different tangents that are justified to go down. Its one thing i try and avoid when explaining math and science concepts because they all are built on eachother in such a crazy web. (And at the end it explains the world) I guess another way to put it is every topic is a node in a spider web, and you can get to any 1 node from any other node by navigating along the strings of the web. Its no wonder he's struggling to not get pulled in every direction and why its such a meme that detailed players like Arumba don't unpause in the first episode of any paradox game let's play. (Its just that complicated)

Completely agree with the first part, but the combat model in this game is slightly too simplified in my opinion. I think HOI4 does a much better job demonstrating everything concerning army logistics.

Just got started on Vic 3 yesterday, and the economics are kind of overwhelming for me compared to other Paradox games… It does make me happy, though, that a good amount of knowledge will actually help me to better understand real life economics, though.

Well, if that's how the game works...

You kinda want a revolt. It speeds things up by a wide margin, tbh

People expected the bare minimum military option. Not a dice text simulator

True, It's also wierd that they thought Victoria 3 would be a great war simulation game. Considering it's the next game after Victoria 2 which also were mostly about economy, colonisation, production and diffrent pops.

@@MeldinX2 Vic 2 military would be welcomed over, whatever this is called.

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour I prefer the millitary system of Vic 2 also. This said the economy systems is in my opinion better in Vic 3 and that is a more important aspect for a game like this.

Main problem ive seen is a problem with the idea that there really is not much of an interaction with the populations. Take manufactories, vic 2 if you were a democracy you incentivise capitalists to purchase and build a factory in an area, because your a democracy not a totalitarian or communist state. Also there does not seem to be very much in the way of influencing pops specifically other then bulding buildings which is odd. Governemnt incentives are an effective way of doing the same thing but the game does not have this. The war system is well the war system, its really odd, there are no tactics or anything, no using river crossings to your advantage or tactically thinking just big number win. The cap on money is weird, why would a country actively hinder themselves by not keeping money they could keep. It just seems weird. honestly ive only seen people really get upset by the economic system. Most of the reviewers ive seen are annoyed by the military system but were accepting of it if the economy system was off the walls insane. They were let down. I frankly am not that upset, it was a niche title and i wasnt expecting it to be amazing. Sort of a lightning in a bottle. Not amazed, not in dispair, just disappointed.

And that's the beauty of youtube and streaming, it lets us experience and get value from games we otherwise would not be able to, either from inability to purchase, lack of time, or whatever other factor. (As a kid i loved watching EU4 and other computer games when i only had an ipod and traditional game consoles, now i can finally buy these games for myself)

Paradox 2 when?

When wages increase enough to pay for dlc 2.0

@@zigzera7757 We need to work until year 2137 to earn enough money

True, but by laying of workers you increase profits by paying less total wages. On the other hand layed off workers will go radical so it is a thing to consider.

Imperator Rome 2 when?

Eu5 when

Sadly that's been my experience with all Paradox games. I feel like I never know why things are happening. Just not my cup of tea, I guess. I really want to like them but I usually end up feeling like the simulation just doesn't need me.

You need to keep eyes on Kazakhs because Russia will colonize them first, if they revolt against Russia, then Sakhalin and Hokkaido are next targets. The best start for Japan is when we get a jingoistic leader in shogun faction so we can have 60 percent approve rate for colonial law at the start of the game. Yes I do a lot of save scum to get Hokkaido lol.

The game released yesterday
