In this video I show you the most effect strategy to uniting Indonesia in Victoria 3. This strategy Involves playing as the Dutch East Indies, Getting Your independence from the Netherlands and Playing as Java instead.
If you don't have any subjects, Java will take all DEIC owned states and no new states will be spawned on former DEIC states. So either conquer some or all of the subjects first, and just release any (or all) you don't want to conquer right away and then conquer them later. This gives you a lot more states right at the start. You have to release them before you start the independence play, since you can't release during any diplo play. Edit: This also works with EIC. It will give all formerly-EIC states to Bengal. Edit: another subject interaction is Peru. If at the start of the game you transfer north Peru from Bolivia, you can at the same time 'liberate' the other two Peru minors and then they join North Peru and become just Peru, your subject. Low infamy play since you only get it for taking north Peru, which is very small, and liberation doesn't cost infamy.
I love just playing as the East Indies and just staying Dutch. On my last run I was able to make ~6 states Dutch majority almost the rest of them a Native plurality (which means if I had more time I could have turn 90% of the East Indies Dutch).
@@TobiasParadox after this video, it gonna be too. I am just repeating egypt and somr times other medium nations since I bought the game. I don't like the small ones so I just trying the whole game to pass laws or the very big ones that I am just running over everyone and just brushing the map by my color 😄
Why won't you just do the first naval invasion on Lanfang? China won't be able to naval invade you since you have no borders and they send 50 troops with 8 ships, so it is an easy grab
@@TobiasParadox thanks! Just tried it - it is impossible to naval invade Lanfang since I had 5 ships and China sent 16 to the same sea node, but they spent 70k manpower on my shores and eventually just went to negative war support. For some reason I didn't even have to capture Lanfang, I was just chilling on my beach.
I don't yet. I've been putting it off because it seems daunting, however I did say I would make one at a thousand subs so I will make one. I'll post a link to it in my next Video.
