Watch this before playing Russia in Victoria 2 

im a lazy mofo so i just delete the navy at the start lmao, not optimal at all

Thanks man I plan on doing more asap

Same here. I was aching to see other country guides and further Vic2 content.

@@ToledoTom lets gooo

In Vanilla is China. No worries for literacy as those will be colonies and then turn all Russian empire pops into craftsmen and clerks as for the RGO you’ll just exploit china

sp obv

also against ai Prussia and Austria I've always considered Prussia easier to kill, usually when I've tried it they keep a large part of their army in stacks in Memel of Silesia; they are easily encircled and from there its just occupations and trying to split the armies of the minors

"From Russia With Love"

@@ToledoTom ty so much and although i don't play Vic 2 i watched the whole thing. keep up the good content!

its cus of subsidizing industry search up hyper industrialization guide, you'll get less rebels, a far bigger industry, and obv 0 industrial spending. the problem is craftsmen dont get a salary when a subsidized factory is unprofitable until you get min wage, which only provides little anyway, better to set up a laisez fair economy

Use encourage craftsman as a national focus and they will fill up fast Also never put the libtards in power they tend to just destroy the economy, if there are no subsidies being given craftsmen pops won’t want to work in them so just go conservative

1) Encourage craftsmen. 2) Do your capitalists have money with which to build, and are there few enough unfilled spaces in factories for them to want to build?

Literacy is super important for craftsmen promotion with less than 30% education resulting in pretty much 0 promotion to craftsmen and increasing levels of promotion based on education. So instead of doing the dumb thing of promoting craftsmen you should be promoting clergymen in states with large populations to raise literacy. The reason Germany is so easy to get loads of craftsmen with is because the German pops start the game with 80% literacy, which combined with the huge pop growth of Germany due to the high life rating of their provinces results in tons of craftsmen lategame The literacy rate of Russia being so terrible is the singular major thing holding Russia back in game

As Russia, it's good to build in states which have more literacy. Finland, the Baltic & Poland have much better literacy than Russians do.

It was supposed to be a link to the "victoria 2 all sfx" video with the timestamp for the "misc_rebel" sfx :(

It’s still better than Vic 3
