One thing to mention, if you form Central Europe as France, you actually lose French as a primary culture... UNLESS You are a Republic (any of the 3) when you form it, at which point you can get a second hidden option to grant French as an additional primary culture at the cost of angering your German residents by 10%. This is for any nation that forms central europe as a republic, as is the only way to keep French as a primary culture when forming it.
If you have subjects of ANY kind, that own the provinces needed for Natural borders of France, on Create the Rhine Confederation decision you'll get those states free of infamy. Just make them protectorates through powerblock and spend infamy in getting into USA or smth
i tired the start of the video with my own playthrough and Russia and Austria and great Britain all joined on Prussia side. also loving your videos keep up the great work
I love Victoria 3 but it is the biggest headache to conquer new lands and to slowly incorporate subjects. A long while ago (several DLC's ago), I realized that france was the strongest country and I just straight up ignored infamy and played the entire game around 200 infamy. I conquered a lot but I was constantly on the defense from Cut Down to Size diplo plays by every country that was at least a major power.
I love the idea of Europe just letting France go around bullying Spain and Prussia and Germany in the 1830s. I feel like Metternich would be thinking, "Huh this feels AWFUL FAMILIAR"
The countries you release that become disinterested... They get disinterested because you have no sea access or direct borders with them. Same thing with Westphalia in your Austria run.
@@TobyYellsAtThings Hopefully in the next update they will cuz one of the strongest land armies in 20th, but in Vicky 3 its just pathetic. I saw in my Krakow game how Prussia lost to Bavarians alone.
They actually start with a half decent army, but most nations after losing a civil war, the new power that takes over never builds up a new military to replace it, and often downsizes to account for bankruptcy taken on during the war. That's what happened in this vid. With that said, they do need to follow through on their front-line rework that allows Prussia to walk through Mecklenburg to S/H. As it stands now they have to naval invade to finish the S/H question and both Prussia and Austria combined start with less than half of Denmark's starting fleet.
@@blockchiken They do start with good army, but as I said that at least in my games Prussia AI just doesn't buid any new barracks. Also for S/H they could change how "violate sovergnity" works and to change AI acceptance and usage of it. Hopefully after few years VIc3 war system will be better.
Well the memes won't tell you that but France was actually pretty strong for majority of it's existance. Not so much in timeline of the game but for example in XVI Century, In XVII century in XVIII century and later on Napolenic epoch. It is not surprising that strong state won when you turn it towards it's military. And victoria III was rather dissapointing title.
Hey i wanted to do this myself but i had a few problems can someone plz help me? 1: I didn't have the divided monarchists 2: I couldnt create a sorvergein empire power block only a trade league
I think forming the confederation of the rhine while belgium is your protectorate will auto annex belgium PS, really annoys me that you didn't ever do the conquest of algeria
DO YOUR GENERALS NEED TROOP LIMIT TO BRING MORE UNITS TO A BATTLE TOO????? IF that's true I am going to SCREAM 1000 hours in this game and I still don't understand the jank that is the military system in this game smh
Does Toby just blindy follow a guide, without really knowing the game? It's like everything is ignored and everything is followed completely step-by-step, like it was a guide clearly made from another person. 80% of the game is completely ignored while these steps is followed carefully.
Good Question! So the way I go about making videos is built more for the casual player and being entertaining, rather than playing the game as well as I possibly can. I try to start all my videos with a cool guide that uses a cool mechanic people can use themselves to start runs. Like in this video it's the fact you can buff France's offense to +65% from the get go. The Japan video I made a while back is a strategy to take Manchuria from China, Egypt is how to get recognized quickly, so on and so on. The truth of the matter is if you just play meta for every video, then every video will be too similar and not many people will want to keep watching. Once the early game strategy is over I move onto a more genuine/entertaining attempt at completing the goal of the video, in this case, forming central Europe as France. I do cut out the vast majority of the smaller details because the general audience no longer find them interesting to talk about, I believe this video alone had over 4 hours removed from the raw footage. I do develop every single guide on this channel myself, I usually take about a day or 2 to develop them. They are purposefully designed to eliminate as much rng as possible so people with not as much skill can pull them off in game without having to spend countless hours in game obtaining the skills to do so. Hope this helps!
Taking on to say that just a little bit of economic play would have made the conquering a lot easier. Those early game offense buffs are nice. But, once everyone else got skirmish infantry, your French space Marines were not such space Marines anymore. You have the literacy, you could Chuck down 50 universities and maintain the tech advantage throughout the whole game.
@@cactusnecktie this is actually a really solid point. Universities are super worth it and to be completely honest I usually just forget to build them. I will give you this though, the strat would have been way better if I remembered to build universities.

I did not know this, that's actually super helpful to know.
I think I now realize how fanatically Napoleon became of his hatred of Russia. After 1:14:00 it totally makes sense now.
Feels illegal to be here this early
I won't tell anybody...

25:39 "Let's count that.
30!
I can count that on one Hand"
Dude what's up with your hand?
They're pretty cool.
Binary counting

If you time it right you can chain humiliation cb's against the great powers so they can never group up against you.
When you jump in, make sure to let us know what lava tastes like.
Will do, gotta take one for science.
I enjoyed this. This was the first time I have watched one of these from the beginning to the end and hearing you slowly go insane was fun.
this takes the strategy "the best defense is a good offense" to another level. george washington would be proud
Well all American's are descendants of the Big G himself. I do my ancestors proud!
"Belgium"
"Another Belgium"
I love the idea of Europe just letting France go around bullying Spain and Prussia and Germany in the 1830s. I feel like Metternich would be thinking, "Huh this feels AWFUL FAMILIAR"
“I’m the king of this planet!” Said Napoleon calmly
"Basically, our country is effing angry all the time !" So just everyday France you mean.
Hour and a half long Toby video?
Its a good day.
I command that every day be a good for you
Love Toby’s joker arc
I DEMAND PERSIA
1:17:06 This is the moment Toby became Napoleon
"napoleon's legacy"
*cries in /gsg/*

External trade power block principle is great for getting influence
Way to get Toby away from the terrible lava! Hurray!! ….already subbed
Oh dear
It bubbles
@@TobyYellsAtThingsif it means anything while you’re bubbling away…. I’m currently doing everything I can to help 😂
I shall now use this video to conquer Europe
Poor Prussia. In new update the AI of Prussia is just stupid, so you don't need do make balkans of them, cuz AI still doesn't build any barracks:(
Prussia needs a buff imo

1: I didn't have the divided monarchists
2: I couldnt create a sorvergein empire power block only a trade league
as a spaniard i can confirm i cried
good
@@TobyYellsAtThings When u playing vic 3 with me baby
lets get him out of the lava map
I challenge you to form central Europe, as the east indies
You have some girthy hands if you can count to 30
Vive l'empereur!
1:12:35 isn't this just the 1-5 napoleonic wars?
Never got here before 13 hours ago before, odd.
90min video and I loved it❤
How do you get this button form Central Europe, I did all jornals and i don't have any ?
It should be in the cultures tab under nation formations.
@@TobyYellsAtThings I know, for Germany I have it but as u for France I don't have (
Toby, how do i become recognized? Never have i ever been able to turn a unrecognized country to recognized and i have always suffered from the debuffs
I go through a way to get recognized pretty early in my most recent Egypt video.
Looks like it's lava time ⏲️
But what if I'm allergic?
@TobyYellsAtThings fair point. I've been subbed for a while so you already have my vote.
I think forming the confederation of the rhine while belgium is your protectorate will auto annex belgium
PS, really annoys me that you didn't ever do the conquest of algeria
But conquering people is bad, I couldn't possibly do that to Algeria.
I thought I was late…only 10 minutes after upload 😎
get your lava trunks on jkjk
there are no stores down here to buy any...
DO YOUR GENERALS NEED TROOP LIMIT TO BRING MORE UNITS TO A BATTLE TOO????? IF that's true I am going to SCREAM
1000 hours in this game and I still don't understand the jank that is the military system in this game smh
The higher rank a general is the more troops they can bring into battles.
@@TobyYellsAtThings my life is a lie, this changes everything
Your videos are good
Thank you.
how do you get the striped occupation overlay, is it a mod? if so whats it called please
It's a default feature. It's in the settings for the game.
@@TobyYellsAtThings thanks, guess i didnt look hard enough
To be fair, it's hard to find something if you don't know where to look for it at
oh man prussia didnt become a minor
i really like this video, thanks toby
no problem
excited for the vid! polly the first comment from Romania
I can confirm this was true
Two words: More Videos.
I'm trying, school has caused a few issues to arise but they should be worked out soon.
25:38 You have 60 fingers????
My lawyer has advised me that I should answer "No"
why didnt you construct anything the entire run?
Mainly because it's boring to go over. It's not unique to the run, and most players can run the economy on their own well enough.
Wow I've never been this early to anything
Sigma😮
