If you play as an Ethiopian nation you can get the outlaw Prince who gives +30 offense, which makes your irregular infantry the equivalent of late game tanks. It’s like the African napoleon - would make for a cool campaign. I just played a full campaign and ended as a recognized gp around 200 mil gdp with almost every non mil tech researched and 22 SoL
it's crazy how they added new historical figures for Sokoto this patch but didn't even bother updating the tech and laws to be more historically accurate honestly no excuse for Africa being as inaccurate as it is rn like they've been getting criticized for it since launch
@@blindidi0t91 they're not saying there aren't gold mines in west africa irl, they're saying there aren't any in Vic 3 which is inaccurate to real life
It's interesting that you managed to select expansion targets that effectively led you to conquer nearly the entire Niger river watershed. Which would actually have been a some what logical real world expansion direction to take. To bad the British still have the Niger delta area, but what can one do about that, right? Thinking about it, if in game rivers gave transportation advantages like they did in real life, then this expansion could be further motivated amongst players as well. Well maybe one day they'll add such a feature and perhaps also various river works to further improve the benefits one can get from rivers. That would be pretty neat and give some extra directions in how players could play the game.
Dude I got one too in the first 10 years as EIC, went straight for homesteading, nobody was angry, it passed within months, SoL went up from 5.4 to 9.1. It's hilarious how satisfying this fucking game is lmao
its easier in small countries because you can just spam trade routes until corn law triggers. I did a Qing run and it took me until 1868 before I was able to increase grain prices enough to trigger corn laws. Funnily enough though, a market liberal is basically useless for Qing because Agrarianism will turn your 300k+ game start aristocratic investment pool into a 500k+ investment pool, gets even more hilarious if you just keep the land owners powerful for that 20% artistocratic contribution bonus and perpetually appease them with lobbies.
Sometimes I like to keep puppets because in the later game it allows for more companies. I keep Romania as a dominion when playing Super Germany to hopefully allow them to give me more oil throughput lol
Sokoto seems like a fun challenge for a roleplay campaign. Treading a shaky balance between enacting the necessary modernization to fight off the colonial powers, while also staying true to the country's religious identity as a theocratic Caliphate. Especially challenging in Sokoto's position.
Oh dear. I waited for your vid so much! You are the best, funniest and amazingly nicest paradox games streamer! Pls make MORE content, i’ll watch all of them!🎉
Ok, but can you do an Oman run without the country splitting? No one has accepted the Oman challenge. It looks like I'll have to wait until Carpathian Knight gets to it in the A-Z. Or is Ludi up to the challenge?!?
When I'm Playing Sokoto I always go for Benin day 1, it's way too good state to pass on. I once even transfer capital there, as you can build there massive industry and get boost to industrialists. Denamark will defend it, but they don't even stand a chance. I think going for coastal states are best early on bc great power dont care that much yet, and can be made friendly later.
If you want the Corn laws guy to last longer then you should make him a General while he's still an Agitator. IG leaders that are generals don't proc the retire event that normally takes out the non-historic leaders.
Hey guys, an update on my exams (i'm that guy who wants to go to med school) Well the results came in. I'm ranked 618th between 28k people. I didn't like the results much bcs they don't guarantee that i go to med school but i'm soo close bcs there are 617 places in med school lol. I'm now hoping/praying that most people choose another university to go to. I'll keep you guys updated and thanks for all the prayers and support. (On August 2nd they'll tell me if I'm accepted or not)
Hey Ludi, would be great to see how you can deal with Great Game with Persia/Afganistan - I had a great but tough campaign with Persia myself with Russia as a boss in the end
In the video, when you got the market liberal event, you said who needs corn laws. I believe that event is the result of the corn laws journal entry. One happens, then the other about 3-4 months later. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Eyo Ludi por favor play the Cold War Era would love to see your take on it generally speaking as well as the strategy you see to the socio-economics of it
In Russian language Danes are literally called Dutch, and there is no word for Dutch at all lol. We only have Hollanders, but it is not the same as Dutch.
Bro I tried many times to unite Africa but it's kind of impossible for me. I have been playing Victoria 3 since the release day and never managed to do it. By the time you get powerful enough to win a war against two great power it's almost game over. It would be really great if Africa had some flavour like revolt mechanics like Italy does.

The parallels are real
I desperately hope that I am not going to start seeing comments like this everywhere.

sokoto starts with right of assembly because they don’t start the game with the tech that enables censorship 😂
You shh! Oh hang on we dont know what this means
dang well that just ruined the only good thing i noticed in sokoto
a win is a win
“Thank you sokoto you freed us!” “Oh i wouldnt say freed more like under new management”
real
Ludi out here with that "Fine. I'll do it myself." energy.
Best quote: "do I conquer or do i tributary oyo? [...] I do have filing cabinets!"
It's wild how historically inaccurate the laws and tech is for Sokoto and other African states at that time. Isolationism in West Africa is crazy
I know its insane how bad they did research wise. there aren't even gold mines in west africa

Loved this video, ludi drop the second one already 😁, i need something to chill by, got ccna exam tomorrow and want something to relax my mind with
Idk if the Market Liberal is a guarantee but damn that was lucky. Not even 10 years in and you got decent laws already.
It’s not a guarantee but it is incredibly easy to trigger the corn laws event to get a market liberal landowner.

It's pretty easy, depending whether your laws are actually shtty or not. If you have tenant farming, it will be harder.
It’s a part of the corn laws JE. it is guaranteed as long as your grain price is +25% and you have either isolationism or export focus.

"Kicking out all the other colonizers." Freudian slip of the tongue?
Damn, next one I wanna to be Rwanda campaign, it's so harsh but sooo interesting
It's advisable to focus on the coastal states first, they may get even better diplomacy with the GPs if given time.
2:27 It looks like Sokoto don't even embrace/unlock EU4 institution. They need basic institution/technology.
I once started as Zululand... and conquered the world :)

"The British are literally the worst."
Very historically accurate, the AI in this game. 😁😎
Victoria three content is where it’s at right now
Ludi: The French are in revolt. It's not to worry, the French have the French on their side!
THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO
I would love to see a playthrough where you can't colonize
Going for Tripolitania right now wouldn't work anyway; you don't border them. The connection is impassable desert.
you are very welcome for the suggestion to play sokoto ludi! loved the stream
Glad you enjoyed!
Ludi creates Sahel confederation
Finally you got the Corn Laws event
Keep doin vic 3 fr
Need a Siam let’s play!
Why do I feel like I’ve seen this before
When I started to learn how to play this game in 2021, my first country is Sokoto.
When I'm Playing Sokoto I always go for Benin day 1, it's way too good state to pass on. I once even transfer capital there, as you can build there massive industry and get boost to industrialists. Denamark will defend it, but they don't even stand a chance. I think going for coastal states are best early on bc great power dont care that much yet, and can be made friendly later.

Do you still get the benefits for passing laws if he's a general?
@@SuperGeomike make him a general and then make him the IG leader as per usual
That is a thick Sokoto.
Oddly enough, in my current USA run, the British also took East Andalusia from Spain
33:15 the British took revenge on Spain because they lost

If Sokoto is that bad, try Burundi next.
game starts all "traditional"/"barbarous" countries out with right of assembly, i guess representing the weakness/decentralization of the state
