playing britain is like playing vic3 in sandbox mode
I finally got the courage to play a big European country the other week, chose the UK. I'd say after the first ¼ of the game you're just sitting there watching the numbers go up.
@@jeffersonclippership2588 if you have the flavour pack France is a pretty fun start that stays fun a while longer either the journal entries
I mean the game is named after their monarch after all
@@jeffersonclippership2588 unfortunate symptom of the lack of lategame focus from Paradox over the last decade. They need to be spending more time on endgame mechanics for larger nations instead of the 130th special flavor pack for a OPM that most people won't play
Spain is a great sandbox if you want your game to be fun for longer, they're just weaker and a bit more backwards. They have Cuba and Philippines as subjects giving them places to land fleets and free regional interests. They're also really strong militarily, they just need to build like 50 flotillas and then they can re-establish their colonial empires in the Americas as a fun little thing they can do. Sadly they don't really have any flavour in the game, at game start date, they had a long civil war (the Carlist wars) fighting between liberals and conservative factions and there was a brief attempt at republicanism in the late 1800s. They're a medium frequently played country and European so I feel like the chances of them getting a flavour pack some day is high
"Thunderdome patch" is succinct
I played a cursed game where victoria died super early and Edward became king as an infant, thus creating the Edwardian era and about 160 years later paradox created the game Edward. At least I imagine the last part happened 😁
Hey victoria dies early in 3 of my game too. Is this a bug i wonder
@@steppedonmyglasses only happened once to me but only played 2 games on 1.7 so it could be.
Victoria 3 is a game for us Chinese kids to learn Century of Humiliation vividly.
Humiliations will continue until morale improves
@@generalistgaming The pinnacle/capstone tech should be the discovery of synthetic opiods😂
To use the subjugate interaction the target needs to be of rank unrecognized major power or lower. So even if you manage to pull France into the bloc. You can't subjugate them. Something like the ottomans if they fail the reforms are a nice target though!
I for one am shocked to learn this
Finally! Dont wait to relase another GB play stream. This is great! It's been too long, and the old GB plays dont make as much sense 1.7.3. Thanks for this!
regarding selecting principles for your power bloc, dont forget hidden modifier that Tier 2 and 3 of your primary principle also gives +10 and +20 cohesion
Oof, I didn’t realize
Really cool to see a pushed run as Brittan, since its just go-go-go all the time
It feels way less sticky than Russia
Ah, the Thunderdome patch. It definitely makes the France to Turtle Island strategy a lot more difficult. I attempted it once, and the US expelled my diplomats just before I could get the relations to annex them, and they tried to attack me. I only survived with British assistance, and was able to annex them that way. Seems like the only way to make it work is to join GPs in their war efforts, so they have a positive attitude towards you.
France to Turtle Island? What?! I know what I'm Googling today
I love your videos! Please make more. I watch them almost every night when I go to sleep. I NEEED these lol :]
I'll try!
Really like the additional info you tell about the better companies in the game and where they are located at
Opium wars felt alot harder for me as qing in this patch i somehow got britian to declare for a beijing port and swayed russia in for altai and had to landing cheese to win seems a bit more resonable now due to changes like no war reps fron unincorporated
You get a truce with them and ban opium after
the french construction bunus actually aplies to all french construction rather then as a state modifier it works like copanies if you have wood company in others states you get the construction efficiency
I'm loving this video playing GB! Please continue the GB run!
Exempting from service is really strong it took me a long time to find out it reduces liberty desire
Seing how much of the world you can subjagate without going over 100 infamy could be intresting
getting colonial admin mandate to level 3, then rushing nationalism lets you get a ton of infamy reduction, then raise colonial affairs to three and that's -35% infamy by like 1850?
edit: sorry - it’s colonization and civilizing mission.
Why nationalism isn't it colonization and civilizing mission
@@connorgaming2313 oops my bad…
You dont loose buildings if provinces swap owner or in a revolution, only during nationalization. You also gain more leverage if you have excess diplo.
If this turns into a series on GB I hope you take the opportunity to play enlightened monarchy just to change it up from the republic meta. Only just started the video though, so who knows maybe this will be a moot comment by the end haha
Abdication is insanely strong for dealing w radicals is a big hindrance to monarchy viability
@@generalistgaming yeah I wasn't going to be surprised if it wasn't on the cards. Abdication is just such a powerful solution to pop radicalisation
Oh yeah also Lancashire (my home lol) is pronounced lan-cuh-shuh rather than lan cuh shire, this applies to most places that end in shire :)
Who cares, y'all use fake accents anyway
@@changedpace9169 ruclips.net/video/Y-3IV11_ZgA/видео.html
British hobbits live in the shuh
You’re wrong
More like Lan-cash-ear
@@xFriendlyNapalm That's how southerners tend to pronounce it yeah
I love the drake meme reference in this game 😂
Any Japan playthrough in the near future? I feel like after the recent AI changes it becomes really tough to get going with civil wars or anything else.
Probably Jewish Japan
Hey Generalist, how would I go about conquering Transvaal early as a minor power?
Historically the British were not so concerned with trying to gain political domination over independent countries in the first half of the Victorian era, but rather using its financial power to gain influence via economic means alone (backed up by British military power if needed in case those financial interests were threatened). It's only when other European powers moved to create exclusive control of their economic interest areas and shut the British out that the British moved to more direct rule in places like sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Would be interesting to see if just playing Britain using the power block to gain financial control without actually making nations protectorates is a viable strategy.
Wait are you able to yoyo while in a war with offer support then volluntary joining opposite side i hadnt realised that makes yoyos so much more op
Brilliant video
You mention feeding Transvaal to cape colony in this video and I see that north Peru annexed south Peru. How do you feed subjects?
Could you try the sacred investment principle or whatever its called? Clergy investment has a ton of rp potential.
I love your videos, really interesting. Nonetheless i think that the subjuguate technic is kind o bug exploit no ? Subjugating Mexico for a war against navaro is so easy.
It should be possible, but should cost infamy, just like threatening w subjugation would
Have you pulled a GP into your block yet? The malice and their own leverage seem too much to be able to
Yeah SOI is a good update, but what would be great is if they got around to nerfing Austria.
Do you have a video content solving about employment shortage on some building? ..
Kinda hard to solve that
Im playing persia, already in British market for a while.. theres only few states are fully employed on every buildings like Tabriz, but many states like Isfahan - irakajami - Khorasan are not having their buildings fully employed, the case a saw was the goods price is more expensive on the states than the goods on British market, so i start trying to build even more buildings in hope to get more supply and bep the prices same as British market..
But its not even employed and the goods price not moving bcs they arent producing, the cash reserves on some buildings are full but they couldnt even hire
The British Empire was always the strongest nation. But I prefer France, because you can't grow wine in England.
Honestly I don’t think it’s ever been better than France/Qing till now
So I’m gathering the strategy is basically just crank and blast at the start
Pretty much yeah
Does it worth to annex the subject? Most of the time, i dont have multiculturism, if i annex the subject, the amount of radical will spike and causing further reform become more difficult. And i will have to spend a lot bureaucracy point and 20 years to incorp them.
It kinda is? Play pattern is a lot less towards annexing now tho
bruh i looked up to see how to start a uk playthrough and after playing for 2hrs you release this 😭
Oof
Is the subject money transfer modifier a free money modifier or do the subjects take that hit?
The subjects take the hit
Hasnt britian always been the best start its just unfun as hell to play
In terms of GDP qing has been the best but in terms of ease to play GB and France have been tied and stay tied
@@connorgaming2313 gb can get hella money from eic and its other subjects and its not really limited to europe cause of hannover
Imo Qing and France have always been stronger, and USA has probably been stronger since reverse sways were introduced.
@@generalistgaming yeah usa and britain are contenders, although i wouldnt consider qing better than usa, france or britain cause of the laws at start and how easily they could get beat up by russia and britain if you dont play carefully although if you do know its pretty easy to exploit but getting a rev could be detrimental to progress.
@@connorgaming2313 i would say gb is better than france because they can just abuse the money they get from their subjects to do whatever they want and atleast they aren’t completely isolated from europe cause of hannover
BEST Start for Russia and Ottoman please!
who was the previous best?
Probably France, but reasonable arguments for USA (only post 1.6) and Qing as well
RIP to wales runs, I guess
Ingurland
I'm back
Oh man, you missed the Ethiopia start
@@generalistgaming I've got something to binge for the next few days then lol
:-)
