    I played Japan this week a bunch, restarted three times theorizing how to get the economy off the ground fast in this patch. What I figured out is that you should focus on the construction loop first, iron, coal, tooling and steel and increase the amount of construction. Try to not go into the red, destroy construction sectors if necessary. Don’t bother doing the Meiji restoration early. You can do the civil war cheese if you want but emperor Ninko is bad and you can do most of what you need as shogunate anyway. Then Japan has this specific issue with its standard of living where the entire supply chain is messed up for groceries, acquire sugar, glass grain etc so the people can have alcohol and food, this should greatly increase standard of living. Abuse the economy of scale modifier. You should definitely be set by 1890 or so for your economy to boom massively, you’ll easily stomp Russia and you will not have the frustrations seen in this video.

    Honestly I’m glad they added the quick country switching to the game because sometimes having france attack belgium in the fifteenth war for wallonia and flanders just gets tiring. I swear one more war against the french and they might actually fall apart (I was kinda lying, it was 4 wars in 10 years or sth like that, I think even less). Playing germany in vic 3 (the patch I’m playing which is this one at least) is quite literally just the equivalent of babysitting a very spoiled little child.

    Yeah, I've found it best to try just playing tall as a nation that is either:
    a. part of a large market (like the British Empire or Qing Market)
    b. has a huge population to support a domestic market (Japan is great for this)
    Attempt to avoid war at all costs, because the system is confusing and broken. Engage in minimal colonialism unless you are going to integrate the state (like Hokkaido for Japan), or if it has essential resources (like oil) because it tends to tank your
    standard of living, GDP and Literacy, and requires a ton of investment and suppression. Better to just use free trade to import in most scenarios. Finally, realise that if you are a part of a foreign market, particularly if you are a subject, any war will tank your
    economy, even if you are not personally at war (learnt that the hard way as the Ionian islands when Britain went to war and all of a sudden, my trade route was blockaded, for some reason my market access dropped, and we went into a death spiral of debt).
    Basically, the war system needs a total overhaul (this is easily the worst issue for me, so I just avoid war), and there are a lot of
    other issues with the game. That said, I still enjoy the game, but its about a 6/10 right now.

Though majority of the Pacific was colonized by me lol... Though that is one of the core plays as Japan. You must colonize majority of Pacific before the Europeon's come. Get the southern New zealand before britain and there you have a good amount of raw resource deposits.
    After that I just commenced on the MEGA WAR for the Indonesian states where I vassalized about 90% of Indonesia (excluding DEIC). And after that I got a colony starting in Africa to get those street resources.
    Also starting your fleet after getting the colonies is the best strategy. If you did not beat an EU nation already, you can attack spain when they are in an war with another EU country by attacking Philiphines. With your fleet between the Indo-sea routes blocking the Spanish you can sorta (spawn kill) spanish ships enough times to exhaust them and getting recognized as a power.
    Though by the time I got 800K GDP Austria-Hungary has 2m GDP. So who am I to judge.

    Vic 3 has good and bad parts.
    Combat and warfare is probably its worst part tho.

    Well you do approach this game from the "wrong" point of view. It's supposed to be about economy, not painting the map with wars.
    In 1927 at the end of the video you had the economy of an 1880 Japan.

      Some may say that shift clicking factories and mines for 6 hours does not make for a very interesting video.

      Yes that I can understand. But it is something you actively seek like with the african country video. Great video, but I do see a lot of comments here criticizing the game which to me seems undeserved.@@guyfromcollege

    Remove the "Japan in" from the title and it would still make sense.

    Man you just can't play :) guys, stop bullshiting. The Japan is strong you just need to know how to play. I get to the 1b without even "open market" trick.
