@@elpresidente6553 nah, its french. in portuguese you still kinda say what's written. you can't convince me that ""ouiseaux"" is pronounced "wazô" (not to mention the soixante-dix (70) and the quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (97))
Fun trivia that Potato learned in this video: France's longest land border is with Brazil. Ain't so easy to fight a war against a great power when they can freely walk their troops onto your continent.
Yeah like, he is very methodical and is certainly commendable. However, on the opposite end, he has been way too cautious with the economy and development in general. Probably not wrong but it certainly made him lag behind quite a lot compared to the Europeans.
Potato you should get the Colossus of the South DLC! It *massively* expands the gameplay experience of Brazil with tons of unique journal entries regarding Brazilian politics/history and the reign/legacy of the "Magnanimous" Pedro himself
Hey Potato, you can gamble with political party leaders by exiling the ones with Traditionalist traits or other bad traits every 5 years. It's mostly random who takes over but you can influence the chance. Generals, Agitators and your Ruler can be potential party leaders. Their odds of becoming the leader is influenced by their popularity. If you get lucky and get someone with Moderate or Reformist or Market Liberal you can reform insanely fast. Its one of the best strategies when playing Russia since your Heir starts as a Market Liberal. Targeting the Landowners and the Church have the biggest impact if you can get someone with a good ideology trait as the leader.
to add a bit of context on why you start on war against Grão-Pará as brazil. Grão Pará(which is the region i was born) was the last province to declare independence from portugal after the 1822 independence on rio de janeiro. after 1831, the first emperor pedro I abdicated the throne and pedro de bragança II (Pedro II from civ6) became emperor as an infant, since he had no means to govern the empire, a temporary replacement was build (the Regencias) made of 3 authorities that choosed governors on each region to take care of such a massive territory. Grão-Pará's people did not recognized those governors as legit rulers of the region and started the "cabanagem" revolt, the longest revolt brazil had in history, started at 1935. In the capital of today's Pará (the current name of the state), Belém, we have a big monument that represents the "cabanagem" revolt and is a symbol of resistance for us.
Ah yes! The game you can spend 10 hours in and not know where the whole day went. Keep the content comming, I always learn things I never thought about in this game. I started playing around improving relations and then traing states for obligations. Pretty broken, they just hand you the state over.
Brazil is a great country in Vicky3, especially when you're learning the game. You're a pretty big fish in a fairly small pond, so as long as you don't do anything monumentally stupid (like declaring war on one of the Great Powers), you can concentrate on industrializing and liberalizing without any significant security threats. Just figuring out how things work, and what buttons to press. Brazil even has oil and rubber (when discovered). The only thing missing is sulfur, which can easily be gained from either Peru or Argentina.
Man, one thing I love about Victoria 3 is just looking at the map. It's such a silly sounding thing but something is very satisfying about watching the people go to and fro along dirt tracks on wagons to movement by rail to cars and airships appearing. The territories changing as you develop and you start to see the street lights shining in the night, the university you just built showing up, etc. Like I never noticed how much that could add to the enjoyment of a strategy game until I picked up Victoria 3 and saw it really done well.
Cia is the abreviation of Company in Portuguese. Klabin is a real company listed in the Stock Share of Brazil. Is one of the greatter paper production in the world.
Yesss, more long-form content! Especially exciting since your first video on Victoria 3 is why I started playing, and it is *exactly* my favorite kind of game, even moreso than the other Paradox map games
Truly, this was the best video about this game I've ever watched. I'm Brazilian and I don't particularly understand anything about the game, but I've always been interested, your video is very explanatory and helped me understand concepts that didn't enter my head, thank you.
This is great. I'm terrible at these deeper paradox games and these vids do a lot of work on helping me get my head around playing them. 3 hours! what a treat
I haven't played V3 in quite a while, and a bunch of the mechanics you're showing are new to me. I think I need to start a game back up. Also, I love the parallel between this and Civ 6 because you get Dom Pedro II in both games.
This was a bit older patch so i think you were learning. Still two tips: always try to max your research and get a semi balance construction = upgrade it and if You hang on in debt a friendly great power might pay it for an obligation
Vicky 3, just like the other Paradox games, is something I'll start playing at noon and look up and it's 8 PM. This was a great watch because the game (especially after the introduction of MAPI) is so complex there's always new stuff to learn.
Came back to finish watching this - just realized that Potato gets more and more Irish as the video goes by. (I do realize it's just his non-youtube accent slipping out bc of how long he's recording for)
Hey @Potatomcwhiskey a bit of advice. You should try to get on iron frame buildings asap. It is way more efficient and puts more money in the investment pool. Build less sectors and put it on iron fram as soon as you have the option. You will grow much faster and enpower the industrialists quicker as well. Try to focus on states with iron and coal. Then vertically build in that state. Tools, mines and steel it will make construction cheaper and better.
I would love to see a warring state of whatever country you pick. This is the first Vicky 3 video I've watched while I've been dragging my feet on buying it. I think I'll wait until Spheres of Influence, but your video did get me hyped.
not sure if they changed it but i think u can just transfer north peru and liberate the rest and they all form one country under north peru as your subject
typically you don't want to put consumption taxes on things like alchohal or tabaco because even though its more profitable it affects your lower strata pops affecting your standard of living more than taxing the middle or upperclasses because they can handle the hit.
Hey, Potato! "Cia." is an abbreviation for "Compañía" (in Spanish) or "Companhia" (in Portuguese). Means the same as Associates in a english company. Kablin Irmaos & Associates is the same as Kablin Irmaos & Cia. Also, it is pronounced like de "ci" of "cinema"
I mentioned this on another video, but I figured I'd ask it here on your most recent video. For the month of May, could you do some playing of Civ 5? At least a long form video on the 5th.
lol @ 31:50 - "We don't want Slaves in our nation, these are people who lack freedom, they can't buy their own goods!", Definitely the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about why Slavery is bad
oh hell yeah love this game, did a """unification""" of central america recently (mexico, the carribean and columbia) shame that areas mechanics are a bit janky but love how so many areas of the world are actually viable and potentially powerful
I am also hooked on this. Useless, but still hooked. My countries keep going to revolution so am obnviously getting something fundamentally wrong but I will get there. Keep up the great content please!
I am burned out not only on civ6 but videos on it. I am over 2k on victoria 3 and watch any lathe, ludi, or carpathian knight video on vic 3 they make. It is my fave strategy game so far. Plus with all the mods, it never gets stale. basilae romaion and divergences keep it spicy. No map feels as good to paint as this one.
You really ought to transition into iron-framed earlier if you're able to, even if it's a slow transition state to state rather than countrywide at once. It's more expensive per sector, but less expensive per point of construction produced, and stimulates your economy quite nicely.
This was very fun to watch! I was wondering why you didnt produce any submarines? Arent they supperior in doing blockades? I havent played this game so I dont know for sure.
@@wanyaisneed3972 You can buy a subscription to all the DLCs for some Paradox games on a monthly basis. It takes a while before it ends up costing more overall than buying everything outright.
To get Multiculturalism and the other laws you wanted, you should be taking the Agitators who support those laws (like the one you went and found) and using the Promote To Government option to make in the leader. This then takes the entire clout of the group for the support % of the law. So Multiculturalism would have gone from 8% to 25% base chance. Side note: Multiculturalism is the hardest reform to pass because even your intelligentsia oppose it at baseline, and no one supports it without a unique ideology. People do be kinda racist like that in the 1800s.
This is awkwardly accurate compared to the rl and raises some important questions regarding ethical issues. Great video however. I was thinking also of getting this game, but I'm still busy with ck3 and bg3
Great vid, Spud! at 2:17:00 when you encounter an awkward forced peace with Argentina for a war you're clearly winning, have advantage in, etc is so annoying to me. So many mechanics in Vic 3 from day 1 to now seem half-baked or poorly implemented and the game just has an unfinished feeling to me. Optimization from 1.0 to 1.6 has been night and day, but that's actually not saying a lot still when 1.6 is still a struggle to not see your time compression / etc get waaaay slower by like 1900+ in the game. 1.5 and 1.6 were both big improvements but overall because of AI wonkery and lack of any kind of real economic imperialism / poor sim etc it feels better suited to a multiplayer game where several players can kind of negotiate their world, as the logic for AI is pretty inconsistent and sometimes pretty random (lol especially what great powers choose to get involved with or not). There are things im happy with like that they've added *better* conflict circa 1.5, but it's still broken / pathfinding wonkery right out the day 1 release, frontline logic can be inconsistent and whacky, etc. I think one of the titles better systems is how the game tracks colonization, namely that its an encroachment of territory occupied by what colonial powers would otherwise consider 'decentralized' and that it can generate tension and conflict. Tbh i feel like i get more out of narrative stories like Spuds play throughs etc than playing the game myself because I just find myself butting up against the games lacking areas or disappointed with how they implemented things.
