As a Belgian, you can rest assured that I'm unbiased when I say this is how it should be.
Absolutely
Agreedd
Correct
IDK got #1 GDP per Capita with a two province Chile by the 1870s. Economic engine is cake, if you know how to incrementally build your economy.
real
Finally a RUclipsr other than Bittersteel doing a game as Belgium in a strategy game, thank you
I want to do so many more
@@historyofeverythingpodcast what about an episode as Sweden in Vicky 3 soon?😁

You are finally making vids about Belgium, I as a Belgian thank you! I thought our country was too boring
As a Dutch man i do not
Belgium still better tho
@@uiashduhsauduasdsuh belgium do be better
Because every single country is boring. There’s nothing that differentiates one from another.
It can be really spicy
Nice seeing you expand and not limiting yourself with HOI4 keep it up
Thank you I want to be able to play more
Bring Fries to the world! Would love to see full Belgium Vicky 3 campaign
yeah I agree with you I would watch that
As a history teacher who plays Paradox games, I'm so glad I found your channel this week! You're awesome. Thanks for advancing history education in a fun way
25:26 *the Dutch wont let that sink in*
I used Belgium to learn the game, they’re in such a good spot for their economy to explode at the start and a great nation to learn the game as
I am letting you know that I NEED a part two on this. It’s amazing
As someone who is trying to learn more about the game as Belgium, please do a part 2
I would love to see a multipart series around Belgium that'd be pretty cool
As a Belgian i'm pleased to see you do a video playing as us, i'd also love it if you were to cover some of our history.
As a Belgian, I implore you to continue this series.
Yo Great video ay really like you Videos stakuyi you hew my support from serbia dawg👍👍
As soon as a french speaking people industrializes, you can actually hear "L'Internationale" in the background. Slowly but firmly getting louder. Love it.
As a belgium, this video is cool
Stak: I'm going to put all my eggs in this basket.
Game: *shakes basket*
Stak: Don't you dare mess with my only source of income!
xD
Definitely wanna see more of this run
0:56 “easy to manage” tell that to our government lol
Which one tho? Cus we have a few too many
Madagascar is also good, one of the hardest starts. No tech and no money. Positive no one is invading you through the gameplay. Start building a port, Increase diplomacy with Dutch or even better Brits and focus on trade. Focus on Intelligentsia or however they are called. After, the sky is the limit with trade and tech. After 8-10 times starting over in few years I got around 4mil ppl and around 6mil gold in reserves!
Thank you for making this. The learning curve is so high, but I am loving it!
I wish I had thought of joining a different market as Belgium. I just waited until I was more powerful that Spain and made them join my market. No idea what I was doing but hey we are #1 in the world so hey that's a win :)
Absolutely need to see a part 2!
In Vic 3 i love how small countries can get really tall
The downside of joining the British market appears to be its dependence on using A LOT of convoys requiring equally large amounts of hardwood to construct. So if the market starts to lack wood, the whole thing collapses due to reduced market access.
I don't know what's worse, that same 1 musical tune on constant repeat OR THE FACT THAT IT'S STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW
As a belgian myself i would love to see a part 2
This does work pretty damn well but the British republic excommunicated me, I became the top power because of being set free but still go into default in the year 1911. It’s a reverse brexit
The irony of Brussels being in the British customs union is palpable…
I'd absolutely love to see where this goes
omg a video about belgium. yes finally i feel happy
Great video! lol, had to laugh at the volcano in Flanders.
The world must burn to fuel the stoves for Belgian waffles
We need a Belgium spanning the world!
In my fist vicy 3 game I've been playing Belgium it's 1890 and I have the world's highest GDP of 500 million as long as you can snap up the raw resource production you can be the powerhouse of the world
The alt-history Belgium the Kaiser wouldn't mess with.
23:00 that was the literal reaction of all european union nations when poland joined EU and all the plumbers and builders migrated to EU countries
I love the little quips he has towards certain counties.
italian soldiers POV:
When Belgium wants to conquer Luxembourg, so you, an Italian, now have to fight Russians and Chinese in the Netherlands
"the moment you are producing wealth you could do anything" yeah that tracks irl
When someone says “I can make Belgium filthy rich” and doesn’t choose the way they did it lol
Prussia sure consolidated slowly... I fully formed Germany on my first play through in late 1850s
Belgium was superior because the Dutch Invested heavily in industrialization in those regions only to lose it when Belgium revolted. So it’s not really an insult to the Dutch to say Belgium was better off. It’s more of an unfortunate circumstance.
We definitely need a part 2 my guy! I accidently burned down Belgium in my first ever game because I didn't know what I was doing
game looks interesting i want to see more
You also must realize, debt isn't a void factor like EU4, instead, the interest of the debt you gain is paid back to your own pops, as it is your pops that you borrow from.
fun fact about Belgian superiority
so we start of in the medieval times
where the duchy of Flanders is one of the biggest trading states in the world with its insane production of cloth
then we get to the 80 years war where the Spanish siege down Antwerp and the city is under siege by the Spanish in about 12 years 40% of the city leaves for more northern cities like Rotterdam(this is how Rotterdam got rich)
then nothing interesting happens for several hundred years
and boom Belgium is independent the dutch king tried to exclude all votes of people who where catholic in an election for one thing or another so we said fuck that
war is fought many lands are gained like dutch limburg and the modern day country of Luxembourg but Belgium has to give those back in return for the Netherlands giving up their claim to the nation
then we get some rich English guys who are like 'hey this is a nice place with coal and iron' and boom just like that the industrial revolution came to the newly independent Belgium after which it became one of the biggest economies in the world up until 1914 at which point Belgium produced 75% of all cars had a big colonial empire and had invested in other countries like the English did to it way back one of these countries being Russia where Belgium invested 550 million gold franks (the total investment was 800 million franks but this was also with France, great Britain, Germany and Switzerland involved) so Belgium brought the industrial era to these previous wild lands and modern day disputed territories until the soviets came along kicked all the Belgians out (this made it so that Belgium only recognized the soviet union as a state in 1923) while the main land of Belgium was getting rapped, bombed and shelled by the Germans
that was about it for Belgian dominance on the continent and in the world
until ww2 when Belgium got the chance to contribute to the Manhattan by sending over thousands of tons of uranium from the Congo
but after that that Belgium has been in internal conflict and turning more and more into a rump state as the industry that once made it big is leaving the country to go to cheaper places
a sad fate
Love seeing how min maxing an economy just causes your balance to have a heart attack (In the right direction)!
I bet a lot of investors around before 1851 followed suit heart wise.
ANOTHER STAKUYI VIC3 VIDEO, TODAY IS GREAT!
Love your work man hope you make more vids
Thank you much appreciatef
was messing around with Belgium following loosely what you did with textile, started ww1 with Netherlands in 1846, uk ,France ,and me vs Prussia, Luxemburg, Netherlands, and Austria, we trounced them over a heavy war defending Flanders, send peace deal and confirmed me taking over Netherlands and Luxemburg, forget to add wargoals to peace deal and white peace, 40k dead and a hour wasted for nothing.
not for nothing. wasnt it fun experience?
Belgium was already more industrialised than the Dutch. I am sure there is a reason but the Austrians somehow fostered a conducive environment. Edit: There are a lot of Catholics in the Netherlands, the country had a bifurcated educational, entertainment and social life until the '60s. So technically, this is just reorganisation.
would love to see you do britain as well as a part 2 where Belgium conqures europe
this is likely going to become my new favorite paradox game, it’s so cool
The gold is it the details, and in the quotes...
Continue please, I wanna see a Belgium world conquest lol.
1:22 they didn't break free due to the Napoleonic sheit happening, they broke away due to dissatisfaction with the Dutch royalty. Though it has been mended it's impact is still here today. Also Napoleon was involved in it due to the Dutch invading Belgium after their declaration of independence, hence it may have confused you. So it was Napoleon that managed to make it permanent till WW2 and afterwards, but he wasn't the cause of it.
This game does hint that the Belgium playthrough is more interesting than the Dutch one in this era. Even the United Netherlands formable nation flag is based on the flag of the Austrian Netherlands with the colours of the Vatican. Victoria 3 is probably the least favourite installment of Paradox Games according to Dutch gamers lol. But I agree, Belgium was interesting during the industrial era.
Dismantling the British empire and liberating Wales, Scotland, and Ireland sounds based, let's do it
That would be an incredible series
You look like you are having fun so keep doing what you like man
Odd that Belgium was having trouble in Africa. I'd heard that they were pretty... handy at that kind of thing. o7
keep going with this series so fun to watch
Note that Mechanizing your production is a double edged sword, you aren’t employing nearly as many people so you need to expand your rural buildings to ensure those people have livelihoods
I’m loving you doing this game on top of hoi4
I want to watch Belgium start the world
War. Which I assume is how your game is going to go.
We are being a spicy waffle
Need a full playthrough man, Belgium must take over!!
I would love to see a part 2 !
As someone who loves PDX-games and follow both you and your wife on TikTok, I find it irresponsible of me to not have been subscribed to this glory before now.
I want to see you struggle with Greece. It would be very fun
Yes PART 2 BELGIUM CONQUERS EUROPE PLS
good video, i suggest you make save games every 5 years ish due to you being in the british market. i had a game as australia where i built my entire economy around the british market like you did and then britain had a civil war which then caused my economy to plummet from like #10th to #20th worldwide. i then had no save game to revert back to and even after a few years of playing my economy still was struggling
Yes, unleash the fury of the Belgian empire!
We need to see belgium take over the world!!!
You can grow at double the speed if you constantly construct new buildings. You don't need to be maxing out your gold reserves, it's just wasted potential.
Would love another part, this video was great!
I must see more angry Belgium
Wow you played as Belgium, a country whose citizens are barely sure it should exist and which rarely even has a government
As a Dutch person I take no offense. Belgium industrialized quickly while us Dutch kept our heads in the clouds with our nostalgic trade empire.
as a Belgian, I support Stak's statement on Belgium compared to the Netherlands
That GB map hurts my sould as an Irishman
I need more of this. Belgium needs to conquer Europe
One of the best thing is to get in to the British market in the game
I disagree - I did a lot better in my run-through the Belgium, without joining the British market. You can control domestic prices much easier through trade routes/constructing industry.
Hello Stakuyi, could you after check out Victoria 3 or in Victoria 3 play as Spain, and make a big Empire, thank you Stakuyi love your videos
That’s one that I would like to
Just thinking through the inaccuracies in the game and deciding, fuck it. It's a game, doesnt matter that the economy doesn't make much sense irl.
Hmm yes lore of Vic 3 momentum 100
8:38 > embraces womens rights
> wonders why the population is decreasing
I would say this mechanic is completely reflective of the real world. Affluence will only work as a multiplier effect.
REPPIN MY NATION yo. this goes hard
Victoria 3 feels more like a reskinned Crusader Kings 3 rather than Victoria 2.
Felt the same way when I played v2. The ui was too similar to ck2
i havent played other paradox games so im a fresh person who first noticed the diplomacy system and prettty ui, which made me interested. I got in love with this game, and pretty UI is part of that. EU4 and alike are just too old school for me to digest those graphics, just like millenia. i think this UI chosen will attract a lot of new non-paradox players.@@pramitpratimdas8198
wow you finally fixed the green screen 😅
Yup about time
Yes please, part 2.
13:10 Netherlands part of the Russian market
I played as Belgium, became a British protectorate, got 500M GDP, biggest in the world. Decided to break free, wins the war easily, loses 100M in GDP and falls into a debt spiral.
10/10 fun game
So he turned Belgium into... WW2 Germany....
You should conquer the Netherlands as Belgium then take Greenland and Iceland
Are you up for doing a Japan save down the line? I learned quickly it's one of the toughest saves in this game by far.
Where are my hands Leopold . . . ?
Aahh yes finally, belgium. As a belgian I agree.
Stak what do you honestly think about the game I like how Vicky 2 was but i have heard the only difference between nations is starting point would you wholeheartedly recommend this game
Dont underestimate what that means. The mechanics are so intermingled with every aspect of gameplay that a different starting situation is enough to make a completely different game.
There isnt any flavor modifiers like they did in their past games though.
@@Wasthere73 Thats what i meant and its really easy to become a great power in this game aswell
i would wait to see how the game progresses as annoying as it is it is probably the smart way to spend your money.
Do a part 2 please :)
