Victoria 3: I Became a Persian DRUG LORD 

Stakuyi, the Lord of Drugs. "One in ten people are addicted to Opium... the only question you have to ask yourself is, how do you addict the other 9."--Stakuyi, 2023.

WE NEED THE MAID OUTFIT!!!

"For 10,000 likes I will do a France video" Disgusting "Wearing a french maid outfit" Acceptable

Can't believe he did all that without ever taking back the treaty port from Oman

everyone press the like button! seeing stakuyi in a french (hopefully napoleonic) uniform is something WE NEED

Stak: Say my name Foreign Markets: Stakenberg Stak: You’re god damn right

Yeah, pdx were overhaulling the army/navy systems in 1.5. The army system at least kinda worked in all of the beta patches, but the navy was generally broken until full release - hence why GB didn't invade

Keeping up the Persian traditions, I like it.

Episode 49 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War, either as Equestria with “Twilight Theory” turned on in custom game rules, or as the Lord Protector - Ferdinand Dawnclaw - in the Griffonian Empire.

One tip is in the tech tree, those little plus buttons in the top left corners of each one, you can queue them up now instead of having to do each one. So you can map out how you want to do things years in advance or even your whole game if you’re patient enough.

Hi Stakuyi, For Iran/Persia and wine. Wine was actually a prominent part of Persian society until the revolution in the 70’s, with some of the oldest continuous vineyards being found there until then. The prohibition of wine in Islamic circles comes from the arabs and the Ottomans. In Iran many still home brewing wine from covert grape sellers to this day. Essentially think of prohibition in america, but it’s the puritans making the laws. One of the names of their wines (a famous deep red) was Shiraz (coming from Shiraz). A good number of Iranians/Persians when they come to Australia seem to have adopted our of own Shiraz wines out of a nostalgia it.

You have made the Persians proud

YES!!! So happy to see another Vicky video from you. You present this game in a particularly engaging way imo.

WE NEED 10K LIKES. WE NEED THE MAID OUTFIT.

You could have declined the first peace offer qwith brittain and just offered as peace deal with wargoal to remove slavery

He shouldn't fear a civil war.

Love your vids stak!

Okay Lads, we have a mission.

Corn laws it's the BEST way to get out of a tradicionalist and slaver landowner party

*jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair* Ahem, you look very lovely.

The title has made my day. Drug lords are awesome. Don’t quote me.

Mm. Yes, playing VICTORIA 3 as a Drug lord. The Queen herself approves.

"Medication is more and more difficult to pay for." *Laugh in free Healthcare*

Local drug lord spends decades helping the people, then starts to sell drugs on mass

35:04 Restored audio of german soldiers at the battle of Kursk

Well made my man. Amazing commentary and your delivery is just awesome. Some of us are born with natural talent in athletics, you have that public speaking going on. I can see why your sub count is .5Million

I want Gabby to pick out the French maid outfit.

Great video!

Who knew *Druglord Persia* is unironically the meta

Sokka: Drink cactus juice! It'll quench ya! It's the quenchiest!!

“We are slaughtering the Afghanis!” Oof what a sentence lol

These titles are getting more insane every day

I vastly enjoyed watching him play through the entire game not getting that bit of land back from Oman, which starts with a port built inside it giving him a free port basically, lmao

Over halfway there by the end of the first day. Oh lawd, it's comin'

Mines can be anywhere. I'd imagine mountain mines would be harder to work then mines in plains or hilly areas. Getting materials up and down mountains is just a pain.

Would love to see more

I got to play Victoria III over the weekend cause it was temporarily free on steam. Gotta say I'm usually pretty good at games like this, but the war system is so confusing. I played a game as Prussia and ended up in 3 death wars with Austria. Despite having both France and Britain on my side and outnumbering the Austrians 3-1, we couldn't push. A million casualties on both sides Everytime all before 1865. Very frustrating.

Dude! Nase edin Pesyan was actually one of my maternal ancestors. That's sick!

At this point I think Stak must enjoy it

The fact that this man refused every trade and friendship offer from Russia, declares that he's well aware of Iran's history.

Does the maid outfit come with cat ears?

i started playing on the free weekend, but not for me. still like watching you play stakuyi, need MORE vic 3 content.

Finally a Vicky 3 video let’s goo

I was pessimistic about Victoria games and it's not the usual games I engage in but after watching this, it seems like a fun game

This video inspired me to continue my vic3 prussia run

Steven has become the Stak-ler family

Those poppy fields aren’t gonna grow themselves

For those that wondered, the US became radical over choosing propertied women instead of legal guardianship. That's one alternate history I didn't expect.

When 1/5 of the people that watched immediately liked the video for specifically the maid outfit

0:40 Yeah, It would be pretty cursed indeed.

I know your a history guy but I think you would love stellaris, it's similar to hio4 (because it's also made by paradox) and I think you would have fun with it

It is nice to see you playing Victoria, Even though it is a pain to film, it is one of my favorite series you do. Perhaps you could try Total Warhammer or something as well?

There was a dlc focusing on Brazilian Empire, Nova Granada/Colombia and Peru-Bolivia union, and these 3 kinda have to duke it ou eventually for control of Amazonas. Highly enjoyed it with the new 1.5 version

We got it

All the Paradox streamers been uploading a lot of Persian content and I’m here for it

we need to get the French maid outfit.

17:51 actually fun fact, amir Kabir an important modernizer of iran brought professors from Austria and Germany to iran to teach people at schools

Amazing Sabaton shirt, Stak

I'm a big fan of vicky 3 and I completely agree about mountains, it pisses me off so much how mountains are just a purely negative thing, it makes playing as small mountainous countries suck and you don't even get bonuses to mines like you would expect

The Persian Heir as middle aged man got me off guard

Bro could said no to the peace deal than proposed one where Great britain got slavery banned war goal so he got free slavery banned without any effort

Bring Us the MAID OF ORLEANS! Stayuki was borne to be Jeanne D’Arc

You made every Kermani watching this proud

Wakes one day and says today I will roleplay as a Persian Druglord!!!

I’ve legitimately never given a shit about Like goals until this maid outfit thing

battle for baluchistan has suddenly become very topical

So wait, I can play a full game EU 4, Victoria 3, and HOI4 in that order, and I will have traversed through modern history?

LOL!!! Did you reference Little Man? 😅 What a blast from the past!

"I will do a France video..." 😐 "...while wearing a French maid outfit" 😳

that little guy looks like a dutch politician called Geert Wilders.

We made it

We need more Victoria 3

At last, The legacy of Persia.

I give up. I see you guys playing and actually floating on positive. Meanwhile I am always on the brink of bankruptcy. How tf do you guys do it? How? HOOOOOW???

For the Opium! For Stakuyi in weird and embarrassing costumes!!

Stakuyi needs to make vids on more paradox games (+a mega campaign)

WE HIT 10K BABY

Were at 7.4 stakuyi, get that maid outfit ready my man

10k! Great job team! 😂

Stakuyi won the on drugs as persia! on the side of the drugs

Mountains should give defense bonuses

I hope we can see the outfit soon

@12:30 I mean, Jack Daniel's is made in a dry County.

Stakuyi.... Get in the maid's outfit. Shh. Just do it man. It's ok.

That was 1k likes in an hour... My man prepare for the maid

To 10,000!!!

They need to incorporate investing like in Victoria 2

Malabo even orange mold bro

Day 1 of asking Stakuyi to release episode 2 of the Japanese Crusades.

1:15 ironic cuz The U.S.A is one of the only countrys where you have to pay for medication

Stakuyi the plug

The second he said French maid outfit I stopped and liked it😂
