How To Conquer The World In Victoria 2 (World Conquest Explained) 

I love how the king of Prussia just woke up one day and went: “you know what? I’m gonna conquer the world” And he did

God… that Conquer/ Liberate CB exploit blew my mind. The fact that I’ve been playing Victoria 2 for a while and I’m still learning new shit from this game is why I love it so much

I have played this game for more than a decade, and still find there is so much I do not yet know. Wonderful video!

39:43 Russia found a way to finish in 5th even though there are only 2 total nations in the world.

Very well done and great editing! Glad to see more content done on this side of the game. Challenges like this make the single player side of the game more interesting.

i thought i'd leave the video after 10 minutes+ watch time, but god damn im really shocked how interesting this tutorial video is in particular

I saw my Argentine grandpa doing this once

This video is very well made and the WC is one of the most impressive thing people do in PDX games. Also I would love to see a video on warfare from you!

I’ve never even played Vic2 but this video makes me want to start learning! I’ve primarily played CK2, but the mechanics of this game look like something worth trying out!

Following your detailed explanation I think Italy is the one of the best option for a WC, the Garibaldi rebels let's you unify immediately and the _Italia irredenta_ gives you a bunch of cores and therefore revanchism, Italy can also get an alliance with France almost day one.

Always happy to see my exploit being used even now lul. I was a little sus of the greece run actually being legit though, I remember something not making sense to me. -Guren275

That's a top-quality right here! Very nice job!

Your channel is exactly the kind of Vic2 content that I was looking for, you've gained a new sub. Keep up the good work!

The time and effort you put into the animated effects is really appreciated!

This type of video is the highest quality you can get. Best stuff on victoria 2. Congratulations in order. Now i do not now of your plans but i'm sure many of us like this style of videos explained in the best way possible. Maybe guides of nations or something else. Just a suggestion. Then again great job one of the legends of Victoria 2

I had dismissed V2 as a fun game until you and a couple other great content creators piqued my interest in it yet again after a couple of years. I can play somewhat and have fun thanks to the tips I picked up mostly from your videos, I would still very much appreciate a proper tutorial on this game from a master such as yourself. Plus I like your style. Great job with the video, kept me watching all the through!

I would definitely like to hear more about everyone everything. Amazing work.

Hello there! Oh, it's been months after I saw you for the first time. However I'm still here watching you, after lots of events in my life like world tour and marriage. Started my own world conquest as a Russia btw. No pun about current situation. Just love to see my nation prospering at least in the game. Using chronology mod (russian analog for HPM) which gives you 40 more years to the gameplay (you start in 1816 and finish in 1956). At first losed some wars for educational, medical and inveromental reforms so that my population grows rapidly. And now your video will give me more tricks for my run. Thank you ;)

6:34 wait a minute, this seems familiar

how the crap I see a 1h video I don't really need without getting bored? great video

The opening background portion of the video reminds me of a summoning salt video lol

Very nice! Good job!

Beautiful This is so amazing what you have done!

So satisfying to hear "Violet and Death" at the end of the video!

Great video man

Great video, around 31:20 talking on colonial points, it’s usually much easier to spam out commerce raiders, as they can be built in level 1 ports, you can build way more, more quickly, with less investment, and are only extremely slightly less efficient in supply. This should be a decision based on where you’re at when you need to start building ships

Can’t wait for this vid to have 100k views in a year. Glad to come across this gem so early!

Very well put together video :D

Wow this is amazing

Jesus the dedication is amazing. I can hardly play a full game

I didn't even know a vic 2 world conquest was possible but now maybe i'll try it some day

Great video!

Yeah, I'd love to watch a video about warfare. Great video

Man this probably took you a crazy amount of time to make, thanks for the tips!!

Excellent quality

This is a very well made video

Very cool!

Amazing video

legendary

On the colonization section - it’s probably known to most, but bears restating: only SOME ships boost colonial power. Monitors, Cruisers, and frigates do NOT help.

RU-vid was basically telling me to watch this since some time ago, I finally got time to see it. My Mexican empire is now going to expand over the whole earth

its so weird that a day after i tried to find a Victoria 2 world conquest for the first time, this video is then relased lol

Great video it also gives good advices if you don´t want to do a WC.

Vicky 2 is probably the paradox game I know the least about out of all the ones I played, including HoI 1, 2, 3 and 4, EU 4 and CK 2 and 3. But I love it anyways. It's so complex and there's something to that, especially the economy. I wish I understood more about it, so I'll watch any and all tutorials you'll make in the future. My by far most successful playthrough so far was as the Chinese empire. I ended up with all of China, japan, Indochina, Indonesia, Burma and India as well as some other land here and there. I led a bunch of great wars against the UK and won them all, together with my allies, the USA and Germany. Here's an idea that I haven't tested. Start as Chinese empire, get rebels, lose your vassal states, release and play as the central Chinese releasable nation with Beifaren as main culture, conquer all the now independent states and the empire itself and play a unified China with Beifaren not as tolerated but as main culture. I think that sounds pretty strong.

Canada, released from the US in Bangor will also very high revanchism. Maybe viable but starting pop is very low.

I would also like to clarify on ideologies: in fact, the worst option is a reactionary ideology. They cannot carry out reforms at all and even recall them. At least the communists promote socialism, which is better. But nevertheless, it’s still not the same, since as a result of the coup, political reforms are withdrawn, although it is these reforms that they withdraw without the coup. But this is better than the libarian and reactionary. By the way, if communists and libertarians remove the opportunity to carry out uprisings of their ideology, then reactionaries rise up under reactionaries. I would also like to add that democracy is not entirely necessary. From an absolute monarchy you can easily become a democracy, but there is no need to move forward sharply: reforms must be carried out slowly, according to a conservative strategy. All types of reforms are promoted by fascists, liberals, socialists and conservatives (reluctant ones are also taken into account), and in the end these ideologies are useful to us (and okay, half the communists too). So, at first, the only people we need are liberals and conservatives, which is available to absolute monarchies, and thus, there is no point in higher levels of monarchies yet. But when the socialists appear, 1860, it is better then, or close to this time, to roll over either into democracy, or, which, in my opinion, is better, into a constitutional monarchy of the Prussian model, and then, perhaps, into His Majesty’s government. This is better for me, since you can appoint a ruling party and choose the bonuses you need. Well, then the Democrats. But when fascists already appear, it is better to choose them, because even in a democracy, which generally reflects the demands of society and allows the adoption of necessary reforms in case of serious problems, aggressiveness is needed to accept reforms (and who knows if the libertarians will win such elections) , then the fascists can accept any reforms without aggressiveness, and even the necessary characteristics: state capitalism with protectionism? Great! Jigoism? Just what you need! Moralism does not have much influence, although it raises awareness of unaccepted religions, but they leave more often and on the one hand, there is less risk of uprisings, and on the other, there are more problems with aggressiveness, this is a double-edged sword. As for the residence, this policy allows others to start wars against you, which helps to unite the world faster, since their national corks are assimilated more slowly, but there are no less problems with uprisings, however, in my opinion, the advantages outweigh here for taking over the world. But I still wonder why democracy is better than Her Majesty’s Government?

Congrats on finishing your magnum opus

Who knew there was the possibility for a vic2 - stellaris playthrough

great video!

don't really got anything anything to say other than that this is a very well put-together video! I've always been interested in the mechanics of games (and also when said mechanics break) and this video seemed to get that niche just right for me. just curious, how long did this take to make?

I've never even played past the 1870s since I play multiplayer only and vicky gets unstable, but pulling out that liberation conquest exploit will be fun

I've put well over a thousand hours in victoria 2, it's my favorite paradox game. I think it's incredible that anyone has managed to do a world conquest in a game with so many factors that slow down potential conquest. What a shame it gets overshadowed like mediocre games like HOI4.

Hello the vid pretty good and as someone who doesnt know about the game as much as you I like to see more videos about vic 2 guides (how to chrush ai,build a strong economy pass reforms etc. and can you do these guides in hfm or hpm since nobody plays vanilla)

What the hell 😮😮😮 Never thought that is possible in vic, only in eu4 😢

I would love a warfare video!

When you Will play China in vic2

Impressive, very nice. Let´s see Paul Allen´s Jan Mayen World Conquest run.

i find this really useful, but i still have a question: how did you deal with war exhaustion decreasing cb generation speed?

8:57 I thought that only LIberate Country removed cores. Edit: Yeah, I checked the files. Free people doesn't remove cores.

im gonna do it as qing

First of all: That's like sooo impressive, I wish I was this good at the game. Secondly: You mentioned one world Conquest was done as GB. How does one habe enough jingoism without any revanchism? Or ist there a way to get revanchism as any country?

Great Video. I'm trying to have a whole world conquest mod as the Philippines and Its hard. I very much love my country thats why I want to do it. Any tips?

I've been doing a Spain campaign recently and now I'm wondering if I can pull off a world conquest as Spain.

I'm not good enough for a world conquest but now I finally now how to keep revanchism high. I would always struggle because I took national imperialism and wanted to go socialist democracy. Thx for the info

at late game my troops are so many that it cause lags, do you know how to improve this ?

Victoria II is A Perfectly Balanced Game With No Exploits... Everything Broken!

Waiting

21:37 i see BASED

The ceo of jingoism

Russia can to make revanchism too: 1) Poland will want to separate from Russia 2) Russia can to provocate the separatists gain independence in Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and so on. And by the way, Russia can to conquest Japan, China and others asian countries before the modernisation. And Russia have the most big quality of provinces in the game, but all is its cores. But I don't know if Russia can to conquest te territories very fast.

1. Be Germany 2. Ignore infamy limit finished

I want to be the first person to do a world conquest as italy one day

This exploit (release nation as a single state --> wage war on it with Conquest CB --> release more states of that nation --> conquer whole released nation) is not exactly realistic, so do you think it will still be in Victoria III?

Does this guide work in HPM/HFM?

btw did you forget about presidential dictatorship .... or are they in you opinion better then burgeose /proleterian dictatorships

I have a question unrelated to word conquest. It is posible to assimilate like 5/ 10 porcent of a non aceptes culture if you play as an European state ? I could never achieve it without cheats or mods Edit: thanks for the info about revanchismo I have like 800 hours and never understand that specific concept jeje

Great video, thank you! I got one question though: Is there any way, how to fight the "Pro Military" ideology? It usually happens to me, that up to 40 % of the people have "Pro Military" as their dominant issue. Which means, that the jingoism increases in a much slower way. Is there any solution? Thank you very much

STEP 1: Pick Prussia STEP 2: Win

in 2014 i did one as the uk & prusia / super germany --- i did save scum (infamy ,battle roles & election events )tough ------ and in 2016 i did one as (grand) columbia

3:43 why world conquest is difficult? Turkey universalis

þis makes me wanna do a world conquest in eu4 lol

Ludi be like: by 1850!?!?

Brasil anexando a Américas todas #desafio

Ahh but can you do a world conquest in hoi4 though?

"58 minutes" *dear God here we go...*

So what's Paradox going to do to stomp this one out now? Because as far as I know, Paradox always seems to have a bit of contempt for players who have the goal of world conquest...

pipipi

Was ist das deustcher vaterland?

Victoria 2, both most advanced and most outdated game DLCdox ever created

Could this theoretically work for any country?

what

Hi

50:36 Iraq when tried to invade Kuwait

Lol @41:30. Dictatorship but laissez faire

Sorry, but forming Supergermany in 1840 and doing a WC afterwards is just too hardcore for me. I can't cope with that.

26:41 I thought the maximum number of research points is 25000, do you mean they time locked the gathering of research points?

you can't do this unless you have a mod, if you do it on vanilla, the game will crash unless there are 8 nations with 2 states to be great powers.

Meanwhile in Vic III: 🎲🎲 😐👍

i want to like the vid, but facecam...

This video is very well made and the WC is one of the most impressive thing people do in PDX games. Also I would love to see a video on warfare from you!
