"we won't be touching the economic simulator at all today" I've been binging most of your Victoria 3 videos, and I can't really ever recall a time Laith actually did touch the economy over invading people
Russia is the peak Victoria experience. Starting with backwards laws but a large population and huge amounts of resources modernising as them is a fun run for both beginners and experienced players. Wow i wrote that like a movie review.
Fun fact, in Diplomacy tab when you go to subjects, you can select to see them by Type, which makes it alot easier to reduce their autonomy from protectorate to dominion etc.
Expansionist Russia? Would be funnier if you were a full blown theocracy and just forced orthodoxy on everyone. Would be a fun campaign idea. ☺️ Also Laith, even if you word things more carefully, I will still try to take them out of context. I have a reputation to uphold you know? I guess you wanted to say youre "In need of wood". Still, here are a few quotes: "Send everyone and their mother to the frontlines" "I'm fighting the confederates, does that mean were the good guys?"
Pro tip I learned today: NEVER attempt to hitcch hike. People will either laugh at you or look at you like your crazy and homeless. At least Laith can lift ny apirts by playing a Fire Emblem Game? Day 255
I will support your claim with the condition that you ask for fire emblem three houses since it's the only fire emblem that I touched (I wanted to romantice Edelgard so bad)
Its all about where you hitchhike. Your best bet is usually highway gas stations. At a random stretch of country road? Yeah you'll likely be there for hours.
pacification of the steppes is quite doable if you immediately start doing it and if you decrease autonomy through the diplomatic demand, which doesnt require low liberty desire
Yes, but he means declaring war on someone to return land directly (in that example, taking land back from Egypt and giving it back to the Ottomans). You can declare for the state and transfer afterwards, but you can't declare to return state to a vassal.
@@AokijiTheIceWarrior Does it really matter? I guess the devs can add it as a lower infamy option but that can be exploited with the take state from vassal mechanic
You can grant states, yes. But, you cannot declare war on their behalf, nor can you do soemthing like a “return core” war for your subjects. In this case since laith made the ottomans a puppet he should be able to return core on Egypt and vassal feed the ottomans. But he can’t. He can pay fulll infamy cost to conquer provinces, and usually (but not always) then transfer the state to the ottomans diplomatically. But it’s not the same as waging war on their behalf or getting an infamy cost reduction.
Add more generals to a army group, it will cause them to attack alot more. Each general will attack every turn, meaning instead of attacking once, you will attack twice or three times/4 times allowing you to take land faster, if you do not do this, then why have 10 army groups of 20-30 units, concentrate them. If you need to split them due to a new front you can easily do it... Either have full generals with multiple army groups, or a few large stacks with a full general stack. The running around thing is the reason I stopped playing, especially on the Chinese border. Your guys run from the east to the west when they get a little inside china, then run around the nation like an idiot whilst china recovers their land to then take that land back - repeat... You cannot help your subjects in war, nor will they help you unless you give them something, you need to make them a puppet first. When they are their own colour they won't help, when they are your colour they will. Weaken your puppets as fast as you can by demoting them down to the lowest possible, that way you get most of their money and they tend to not want to rebel, else when you are at war they will have enough desire to go for independence.

@@MrDonosoi I Invite you to test it. Taking the mandate do not actually give you a free law. It disallows No School from being enacted, which means if you have an education law you can't revert back to no schools. I just tested it, so yeah find me another solution he got that one.
The only thing expanding more than russia in this playthrough is laith's hair.
He looks like a Monarch.
Strange Albert type hair
He is going with that style

Economy is a pain to deal with when you're speed 5 and you can just open console to cheat, way easier.
Maybe his og tunis video?
@@Jesus-jb6hoconsole commands exist on Vic3?
@@HeartfireAce21 Yes there is a console

Wow i wrote that like a movie review.
Both Russian and Japan are great for that reason
Japan is surprisingly fun to play, even as a nation that starts without any commerce
Someone should make a mod to replace the icon for the lathe with a png of Laith's hair. Just his hair.

24:22 You can grant states to your subjects in the subject diplomacy tab

maybe orthodox third rome?
That’s actually a really interesting idea for a playthrough! Basically becoming the Papal States but orthodox, might give that a try.
as sokoto become the caliphate
The Alex Eagleston theme song as the intro gave me shellshock
the frustration in this video is immense
That pretty much sums up Vic 3
You can conquer a state and then grant it to your subject.

The Swedes did another Great Northern War
On Ukrainian Independence Day is crazy
Video: “No one can stop expansionist Russia”
Ukraine: “pls no”
Perfect timing.

Right on time lol
Though i doubt he did on purpose
20:31 number 1 optimisation for you laith, your excess authority slap down the social mobility/education decree.
this is truly the earliest ive been to any video, and I'm happy to say it yours.

9:40 russia from 1732 to 1867
"Let me contol my units" what Vic 3 players keep saying but nobody listens
Can you not grant states to your subjects? I thought that was added in 1.7 23:55
Or just trade state, offer 1 and ask for non.

What he meant to say was that he’s lacking in the wood department 👌🏼
bro really thought he could sneak that YIIK music in there
this the highest infamy I have ever seen
And he stops at 1870 that could have been a crazy run

Are you using a modded game? I just started up a Russia game, and Im starting with -5000 grain, -23k income (Jan 1 1836)

Okay there's something seriously broken with the game if you can't help your vassals....

No Constantinople?
No one??? (The bolsheviks would like to know your location)
Even bolsheviks didnt, russia actually gain some new territories in Europe under bolshiviks dictatorship. But they didnt manage to return Finland. :/
@@nothintoshowNah, Russia lost way more land and gained just Königsberg

That u not take Tanu Tuwa from Qing bugs me so much
Tanu what?
@Randybobandy12345 the state which is always there in Hoi4 between Soviet Union and Mongolia.
Here the exclave of China on Russian border

russia is so weak now
Move your capital to Moscow lol

Glory to Ukraine! ❤

Laith seems unusually frustrated and focused in this playthrough, not a hint of joy in his eyes. He became a true Russian.
