I mean that actually depends. If Africa gets completely conquered by Colonial Power it's not inherently colonization to invade and make those a part of his state. At least as long as he doesn't enslave the people and destroy other cultures it could very easily be seen as liberation and anti colonialism.
@@ArcAngle1117 In this playthrough Sokoto colonized and obliterated various African peoples. When he fought against France he didn't liberate their territories, he just changed their master.
@@driftermorrelo the sokoto were pretty big-time slave-owners and did plenty of their own expansion, so you could in a sense say they have been colonizers irl. although Ludi went further and just did the imperial Japanese "Asia for Asians" playbook.
Hey, can you record some vid with this mode "Anbeeld's Revision of AI", it makes bots much stronger , in lategame bots usualy have 1-3B gdp not 300-400M like in normal game.
That mod is mandatory imo. I consider the game vanilla with that mod because default AI is broken. The mod brings Vicky 3 to the level we expected day 1.
18:52 the Brits win (or survive at least) in "Zulu", "Zulu Dawn" however is about the Battle of Isandlwana where the British were defeated. Also that Germany is beautiful.
Thank you! Also, I have found that if a revolution is winable, its good to fight it down and remove all the clout in the landowners (or whomever is rebelling) as early as is possible to obtain victory. Then post revolution victory, you have one or two critical laws you can get passed before their clout recovers. (in the current patch, that is)
I challenge you to replicate this with an etheopian principality! Reach #1 GDP and free Africa from colonialism. Insanely difficult due to no access to iron, coal, lead or sulfur until you colonize (very low prestige so declaring interests is difficult). Have been trying for so long, my best run was with Tigray because they start out with at least serfdom abolished, but I just can't manage to do it
Actually this is worse than European Colonialism knowing that sokoto has used slave trade by the time European powers had it outlawed. Also sokoto is muslim which means that the traditional african religions would be erased either way and forced to be one of the abrahamic ones
hey ludi lil tip i discovered today, i have been doing many many runs of unifying africa and i discovered that a VERY easy way to take control of huge huge empires is to rip out their industrial heartland, so basically if you play as egypt take their capital that will weaken them to such a high degree they will fall apart and then you can puppet and annex them very easely, i did that for the ottoman, egypt hell it almost worked on austria too, its a much better way then fighting the 4 wars necessary to take all their states they own
When you were trying to pass slavery banned the landowners left and you tried to get your legitimacy back. You got like 24 legitimacy, so you still couldn't pass laws. But you can increase it by lowering taxation rate.
Yo Ludi, you could do much more in this run. Tax the Schnaps out of the People at the start, set some consumption taxes and you can easy increase your Building Points up to 20 at the Start, then try to get the tech for Tools, so you can use tools in the lumber mills. Especially when your such a Dog-Schnibbel Nation, you need to start as Big as possible
Incearca sa faci corn laws dupa ce faci romanticism tech, iti va permite sa ai un nou lider pentru landowners si te va ajuta sa faci laissez faire + per capita tax super usor dupa asta ai 20 relations cu ei si poti lejer sa pui census suffrage sau banned slavery repeatable 10/10 si super eficient good vid ^ ^
Note that open market from war goals gives a prestige penalty. It might not matter for this country, but for some it might. In the video you can see your rank jump down from 28 to 32
Acholi is an interesting pick if you want to play in Africa. It's one of the isolated countries in Uganda. It is unique because it has Luo and Lancastrine Bantu as it's primary cultures. Malaria doesn't affect cultures in their homelands, and Luo and Lacastrine Bantu have homelands all the way from Zimbabwe to Kenya to the border with Sudan. Rush colonialism and it's pretty easy to block the GPs off from Kenya, allowing you to colonize most of East Africa at your leisure, without needing quinine. Modernize your army a bit and it's not hard to take Portugal's colonies, Zanzibar, Zulu, and the Boers. Then you've gotta decide if you want to conquer or become a trade-based country, since Subsaharan Africa is totally lacking in some key resources like sulfur.
Holy chyyyyet! Brits: defeat you. Demand: open markets. (Evil laughs) Yes, since you dont leave us another option, we'll end our glorious backwards isolationism...
Communist Germany forms -> Plays Anthem of the Sovjet Union (because its a well known communist song) instead of the Anthem of Communist German (Auferstanden aus Ruinen which is also a well known song)
Wow this one is really special, the first time I've actually played a nation and challenge BEFORE you uploaded your video of it. Loved seeing your road which was incredibly different from mine ❤️
You can get out of isolationism fast by starting a war with that a great power joins. They almost always add open markets as a goal and you can annex a nation and get a quick open markets. Then switching back to protectionism makes the Landowners happy.
When you noticed the communist Germany, I was really disappointed that you didn't play the anthem of the German Democratic Republic aka. East Germany "Auferstanden aus Ruinen". (It's pretty drab like all German anthems.) Also was their capital really Dresden? How did that happen? But I'm happy about it.
Would the IDEA of democracy really have been alien and "uninvented" to the Sokoto? Would it have been alien to...well, anybody? The idea of voting on things at a smaller scale is a basic human instinct and it's especially popular with merchant states and city states. Surely there were SOME democracies of some kind in pre colonial Africa
fun fact: fascism was originally defined as "the merging of corporation and state" before corporate propaganda managed to remove mention of corporations from fascism
