Victoria 3's Most BROKEN Exploit 

Oh god this is incredible

Ohh yes, The world ethnostate that doesn't discriminate.

Goddamnit this one still isn't fixed? And the rest of us are still stuck waiting for an actual Turtle Island guide lmao

Damn I never even thought to start as France.

India: Am I not turtlely enough for the turtle club?

I think you should be able to Confederate with large swathes of Africa by getting the Afro-American heritage into the mix. Releasing an Afro state on NA should do the trick (which, in turn, would mean free state to Africa)

@@generalistgaming You don't need to subjugate countries to feed them states. You can also feed them states if you make them Belligerent, and what's more, you can feed Belligerent countries ANY states inside their diplomatic interest regions. That was the most effective way of eating GPs in the previous patch, and it should still work now. Just make Qing Belligerent and then feed them British Columbia.

The so-called "Turtling strategy", if I dare say so myself

You have the best Vic 3 videos on RU-vid. No debate. Excellent content. Thank you. Can you do this as USA?

Sorry to be the pronunciation guy but Métis is pronounced 'maey-TEE' in English or 'may-tis' in French

Edit: A couple other things I've figured out: If you grab alaksa and chukotka form russia and release nunuvut instead of metis then you don't have to wait for hudson bay company to colonize. You can also then click the button to turn Athabaska into a real country (after you eat france) and then annex them before giving alaska back to russia (since you said it needs to be fully colonized, though maybe that was just a border problem). Philippines is possible through the Philippines since they have Spanish primary culture. The only heritage groups you can’t do are Indian and central asian. If you could do one of those you could possibly do both because of tags like India and Pakistan (which you’d have to make exist some how). East Asian is easiest to get by releasing Ezo in Ainu. Ezo has east and north asian heritage. North asian via Siberia which also has inuit. African via Louisiana which has Cajun (European). Middle eastern via Israel (Sephardim has two heritages) or Transcaucasia since it has some euro cultures too. South East Asian via Philippines which has spanish. On double checking it looks like indigenous oceanic is not possible either but that doesn’t help you much anyway. You don’t get all the primary cultures you only get one. This means you might have to release a country and eat it multiple times to get the culture you want (like Azerbaijani from Transcaucasia).

I wish they hadnt taken away the ability to get recognition through war. I like that they added a way to be recognized without it - for me thats actually more useful - but sometimes war is the better option and it would've been nice to still have that option. That is the more 'realistic' way anyways when you consider the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5. Also, this whole strategy is absolutely absurd. I love it and I hope they dont change it.

I'm just surprised it took you this long to make a video on it, it's a fun run for sure once you pull it off. France method is even better though, much nice. I hope that Paradox never patches this tbh.

i just realised if you do this in MP you could get africa through the us too. or through haiti maybe

If you wanna go into China use the Philippines, they have philipino which allows for south East Asian

bro.

This tech is wack. Props to the wizards in your discord.

I remember using this as Paraguay back in 1.6. At least there's a different way to do it now, as the Paraguay strategy is almost impossible without mods (State Transfer tool).

does the exploit no longer work? did this EXACTLY but greenland doesnt pop the turtle island interaction for some reason

You mispronounced metis. Its like May-tee

so to understand how this would work for qing, they would take canada, release greenland and greenland would have a chinese and native american heritage for their accepted culture so you could annex them as metis?

yo what kind of diplomatic habsburg shenanigans is that?

Great video, only question is do you just conquer the Hudson Bay states as France or how did you acquire those?

Wow this is so stupid. At least it's not something the AI will randomely do.

Bro you guys are pretty damn creative with a complicated piece of software. Kudos to you mad lads. I'm too much of a filthy casual to take the time to comprehend all this, so I'll hide behind virtue and pride myself in not using exploits.

Nice renovatio imperii. It would be fun to see an as-intended Turtle Rock playthrough, just to see what this journal entry was meant to do.

who let him cook?

Turtle island when squid plateau walks in

Just a quick thing, the culture is pronounced May-tea (like the drink Tea)

victoria 3 mughal empire

Confederation of Earth.

alright was is this demonic ass stuff the discord is cooking up how did they find this out?

Trying to repeat this and even tho I own a state with metis culture i still cant release metis.

This exploit is extreme. Well done dark Generalist wizards .

Please continue

We do want to see this glorious world conquest

It's turtles all the way down...

Is it fixed in 1.7.5? Did exactly the same thing, but can't form Turtle Island, the button is inactive UPD: It works! On my first try I was slow enough with conquering Canada and didn't have any boarders with decentralized nation (Iron Confederacy)

11:24 In my run with this strategy, I took Yukon Territory from the Hudson Bay Company, and that state has a border with Russian Alaska. Also, you'll have to fully colonize Alaska in order to do the land bridge strategy.

It's pedantic, but "metis" is pronounced "May-tee" it's a hybrid french/indigenous culture.

3:06 mmm I mean, Isn't it possible to conquer that state and also revoke the claim on the same play? so in that way you would be able to colonize there.

Could you try to get India by getting having Afghanistan or Baluchistan form pakistan and then offering them confederation to get an indian culture?

soo..you basically have multiculturalism without having multiculturalism

Generalist, Metis is pronounced Mey Tee, FYI :)

Phillipines has Spanish as a culture. Couldn't you annex them using that?

Fyi Métis is pronounced "May-Tee" rather than "mettis"

I am not entirely sure i follow how this was done but cool nonetheless

This is definitely spiff quality exploiting

Based culturemaxing moment 😤

Now how to do this in MP

World conquest😊

There's something funny about France immediately gunning for Hudson Bay and not Quebec or the maritimes. Imagine what the Quebecois would think about that... before France becomes a mega world controlling turtle island.

this exploit is so stupid

Do you actually get ALL the primary cultures when you annex a country, or just one of them? (I’ve heard you had to release and re-annex to get them all.)

You actually can confederate with Qing by releasing kamatchka (russian and siberian culture) since Siberian is north asian and manchu is also north asian

Hear me out: same thing but form super Germany first then do everything with Greenland and on.

WC or else

This feels like it had to be an oversight where it was only supposed to inherit native populations as primaries.

How do you feel about being a vic3 specialist, Generalist?

Canada is primary culture maxxing IRL

"Metis" is pronounced May-tee.

:0

boar what I didn't understand that

Absolutely amazing

Now that’s a rainbow coalition

Louis Riel stays winning.

Is the yoyo sway with conscripts still doable under 1.7?

Now do it as Krakow.

FINALLY TURTLE ISLAND

BOWSER BOWSER

Great stuff. Thanks again.

TUTEL

YAY!

I cringed the moment he pronounced Metis - for reference, the correct pronounciation is "may-tee"

"Métis" is pronounced 'may-tee'

I'm fully expecting them to remove European heritage from Denmark for historical accuracy anyways

Primarycolturemaxxing, hell nah brainrot exploit

Pronounced "MEH-TEE" not "METTIS" damn Yanks

what a dumb mechanic xd. very historically accurate. what the heck are turtle islands even???

Now go atheist and form arabia

And you have to pay 20 $ or something like that only for use this.
