jesus, thank you so much. already the info at second 50 on how to see what you produce and what the trade routes do helped so much! (and im already like 50 hrs into the game). subscribed.
It has been a couple months since I played Vic 3 but the biggest problem in terms of trade is, in my opinion, the fact that the AI is usually too incompetent to manage their economies. I would love to force other countries into suppliers of basic goods like wood or iron by sheer economic pressure (trade route for wood/iron, trade agreement to make it more profitable and huge demand in my market). But in my experience even though they have the potential for a hundred iron mines, they build very few. I really hope that there will be some kind of foreign investment DLC that could potentially circumvent this problem.
Wonderful video both in content and presentation. I was ''one of those'' when the game released in such a poor state but now, I can have fun in it. All it needs is a better AI and some other upgrades , but I'm confident I'll soon consider it to be better than Victoria 2. Thanks for such an insightful guide !
Be aware of input substitution growth. It’s far better to grow your economy off internal consumption so you don’t lose if the ai ever figures out how to ships and paradox makes them fun
Where tariffs can be useful is when you might not be in a position to do mass global trade but want to boost your domestic industry. Set tariffs for raw goods to input focus, and you'll lower the price more than you could by just having tariffs off where people could buy your cheap stuff
Tariffs are good though to protect certain resources like coal and oil, which would feed your industry increasing production and competitiveness. especially irl when you need to protect strategic goods.
Trade. The not useless mechanic in the game as the game isn’t good enough to play late enough for exports to matter and developing self sufficient economies is always better for stability, the environment and more
Should start like, export one commodity e.g opium, choose which country, now if you have coastline and no harbour, how to build harbour and how to create new trade route. Very complex game even after 2 months I'm just fluking.
You know what makes me not wanting to buy/play this game? Numbers are really important but they’re so small and they made it in a way that looks like they’re not relevant. Plus I find really hard to understand/notice if those numbers change overtime or not
Great video but...as a non native speaker of English I would highly suggest you buy better sound recording equipment or find a way to improve sound quality. I dont know if it's your accent or sound quality but I constantly had trouble understanding what you tried to say in many parts of the video. For example the way you pronounce ''tarrifs'' came out as ''terrace'' and for the first five minutes of the video I was at a loss. Thanks
i disagree on tradeagreement. u should make bad trades that u lose on with minors u can then force a trade agreement just due to the volume of trade get the trade pact and then cancel all the bad trades. this is great for ensuring cheap supply of things with priority claim on it for example wood and rubber from brazil or grain from sokoto. its more powerful on small nations and just a bad deal based on tariffs on majors. because the agreement is going to be onesides. u ship in tons of cheap goods for no cost. they get a few tools and engines
I get that way of looking at it, but late game you need majors as trade partners in order to have places to export your expensive goods. UK or US late game can buy way more Engines and Luxury clothes than a minor allowing your truly valuable high value industries to do well, remain profitable, and increase your investment pool. Trade routes with countries to make them ship you their cheap goods is a valid tactic early game but keep in mind you can get them from Russia easily enough.
A very in-depth look at how to use the tools in the game! Thanks for helping explain how Trade Centers work 🏙 I had seen them on the map, but other than the fact they were dependent on your trade routes, I had little idea of how they worked
Thank you for this video! As a person who does not have a degree in economics, I can finally play this game properly.
If this video isnt enough I believe Ben Bernanke has a masterclass
You need a Ph.D. in economics. haha
I enjoy how in depth the economic aspect of Vic 3 is, but its hard to understand at times,videos like these are honestly a huge help.
You did an awesome job on this, dude!

Thanks for this funny and very useful video! 🙏
A good tutorial I like it, thanks!

I have been having a lot of success using protectionism law but with many goods on a focus not even collecting many tariffs.
Can be worth it early game for sure.

Should you tariff a good if you are a n1 producer of that good in the world
Love you hammurabae from Dr noir
To have a good profit with the market you must have a looot of ships.... Like 10k (ships) more or less to have 1k ( 700 boats) of gold for trade
Good fucking video mate

Great video even though you totally forgot imperialism being why countries are poor today. They got forced into the bottom of the pyramid
