Ahah ngl MAO really did manage his economy like a new Vic 3 player. Went too hard into industry early and forgot to focus on low level production first.
bro please keep making these type of videos. Vic 3 actually has a lot of complex nuances to it and people like you allow the community to communicate and learn all the mechanics of the game. Unlike other paradox games which have tonnes of RUclipsrs, I think you are probably one of the only RUclipsrs that actually deeply explain and talk about the advanced mechanics of vic 3.
No wonder I always just get to a certain point in the game where my economy falls off a cliff and I lag behind like crazy, never put this much thought into it. Thank you big time for this guide.
I binged quite a few of your videos over the past few days. Your content and sense of humor are excellent. Thank you for sharing your insightful analyses of the Victoria 3 metagame; they are greatly appreciated!
Awesome stuff. Will definitely have to watch this and take a lot of notes on the weekend. Getting used to 1.5 after not playing since like... 1.1? 1.2? a LOT has changed.
Rather than saying 'fake money fake goods', I think another way to look at subsistence farmers is that they consume 90% of their own output, so it's much harder to profit from their labour. These explanation videos are helping a lot. Coming from Hearts of Iron 4, I didn't expect the simulation to be this deep when I first started playing so it was really frustrating. Now I've gone from 7 or 8 failures in 4 hours to actually having an economy survive for 4 hours. Soon I'll progress to loading and continuing a saved game 🤣
Dude these are fantastic guides, thank you! Was enjoying the game but definitely felt like i was not understanding a lot of the deeper complecxity. These have helped tremendously.
I love to see how some people put thought and time into things like this, and I am fascinated by how informed and thoughtful you are about this game. Great video, thank you for educating me.
Thank you for creating insightful content about Vicky 3. I've been playing Vicky 3 since its release last year. I always watch your video to improve my gameplay and your video helps me a lot to understand the game. Also, my fave country is Japan because of your Japan walkthrough about Meiji resto and 200 cons in 20 years haha. Keep up the great work man!
On release this game was so stupid easy. I still remember my first time playing. I picked Transvaal, became protectorate of the British, and than proceeded to become the number 1 world economy with an insane amount of territory in like 50 years. All off of tools lol. Now they just need to fix some minor things like the “populating the Americas” journal entry.
Going for Agrarianism first as the EIC is probably the best move to do. It boosts the income with all those farms AND make your landowners more happy which in turn leads to them not doing a Revolution when u try to slot in Ban Slavery as the next law.
Idk if the game changed since you posted the video but Hokkaido is actually great for attracting pops because it fires around 2 events of gold being found. I had it at like 44 desire with attract migrants. And with most of Japan's states being quite overcrowded, it's actually really easy to get a few mil there in the first 15 years or so if you get lucky on opening borders.
Just got this game via Humble Bundle & I'm loving it! I'm usually a FPS gamer never strategy & your videos have really helped me get immersed deeper into the game's mechanics.
Finally i will know how to play until next big update. Thanks for video. I'd also appreciate some military advice, because i don't know how to win wars without massive superiority and don't understand how general's bonuses work.
Thanks for this. I've been trying to play Japan as my first post 1.5 game, and its unique challenges along with the changes have led to me stalling out a lot more quickly than I had in my previous games. Hopefully the next restart will be the one that takes off.
With a 1+ hour video i thought you are strechting this topic to much out. But then i realized you are already comprimizing alot, this is great content thank you!
Given how inefficient mines are before you get the tier 2 PM, is it better for countries with backwards tech to stay on the tier 1 construction PM until they unlock atmospheric engine?
I think it's probably better to ramp up initially on the T1, then when you hit breakeven to begin to swap (meaning you want to spread out quite a bit) and facilitate the swapping by importing iron pretty aggressively.
So, I have a few important questions, nations like the Ottomans, Qing or any releasable ones, you start off with wooden construction, When do you switch to the iron frame building? Do you first build your iron mines and logging camps ? Do you then build the construction sector where they are based? How many construction sectors do you build in one go for Industrial and Non-industrial countries? Do you concentrate on one state and then move on to the other states or just build one by one? Is construction sector always needs to be built primarily? Because you also have to pass laws to get off traditionalism for not industrialist countries, do you stack authority or just tax the higher strata? When do you build the other sectors up like the military or fabric to produce silk, coffee and such? Thanks in advance for reading my comment!
Pretty fast, utilizing trade to get the iron until you get condensing engine. You switch back and forth, there isn't really a "first" other than don't run shortages. It depends. Concentrate depending on how off RRs are and also pop. Idk what you mean by primarily. Usually early on its better to float authority to pass laws faster, but it depends a lot on the country.
@@generalistgaming Thanks for your reply. Primarily means, just as an example let's say every year you consistently build 5 construction sectors to keep your economy going and industry spinning. Or do you build the construction sectors when you're not running a deficit? I can't seem to understand how to create shortages yet.. I've tried moving to the iron frame right from the get go with the ottomans and had -2k iron and was trying to build iron mines to close the shortage.. That's wrong right ?
how can you solve standard of living decline due to excessive taxation? most of the time i end up having 100 times more radicals than loyalist and it says the reason is standard of living decline.
Go after the unemployed pops first with new profitable buildings. And be careful building agriculture because each slot built deletes a subsistence farm releasing pops into the unemployment pool where they are no longer supported by subsistence. Sometimes you’ll want to do the opposite to gain pops quickly for your new buildings because sometimes hiring pops is too slow because they become satisfied in their subsistence.
Ah thanks for the updated strategy I was trying the entire "throughput" strategy of pre 1.5 and it was so hard to push progress. Also when the AI is building things everywhere it felt bad but technically its good. One thing I noticed (not done your video yet) but the consumer purchasing goods benefit from MAPI given high throughput at one place and they will buy them anyway with the increased price in other states. This results in a slightly lower SOL in those other states with more spending but could be mitigated by having their own industry. Like furniature in one place but clothes in another.
Dude these videos are so good, Paradox should pay your for doing them. Keeps more people from bouncing off the learning curve and leaving the game. What do you do with your crap states tho? Just accept their crappyness and focus on the good ones till midgame? Maybe build barracks there?
It can be good to add a few things like textiles, food industries etc to more rural states with agriculture imo so that your main industrial states don't run out of peasants too soon allowing your crappy states to at least generate some skilled workers and to increase the SOL above minimum so that you don't get lots of radicals. That being said, it is OK to just have some crap states as if you have greener grass especially they'll migrate to your main productive states.
Great video! Your content and the free weekend made me pickup the game :) A lot of time you focus on boosting the capitalists and industries, but are there alternate strategies to play countries that are fun/somewhat competitive?
Jumped back into VIcky 3 after not playing since release. Seems like a lot has been improved! Did a Belgium playthrough and fumbled so bad. Early game is definitly the worst for me. I have no idea what a good strategy is so this video is a godsend.
Great video! But a question at the end of basic strategy part you mention we should keep going until the point that we add buildings but balance is still even. How that is possible? By building new construction sectors we are creating new demand and prices go up. Resource buildings becomes profitable to build again and money will get extracted to the state. Which point am I missing?
I am learning this game, and your explanations are helping me a lot! Do you have those spreadsheets available to the public? I would love to take a look into it!
I mean you can understand the idea w/o the spreadsheet - I def don't consult the spreadsheet while playing, just use it to understand the underlying stuff
@@generalistgaming For sure. One of the biggest hurdles for me was MAPI but a lot of it was due to watching old tutorials. The basic economics are cause and effect but now on a localized level. Still, this game finds ways to utterly humble me without me having a full grasp as to why. I quite enjoy it none the less.
PSA about Hokkaido: while the place is deserted in 1936, due to migration mechanics it's gonna be flooded with POPs soon enough. I had it over 1mil naturally without any gimmics and while having a lot of other immigration targets by 1900.
Peasants are cryptobros!! Amazing! Great analogy man. Though in this case, it's non-market goods and non-market income and completely real in terms of experience. So it's kind of the opposite end of the economy from the cryptobros. Just as fake as far as the market goes though.
Yeah I mean I agree that it's real in the reality that the game is representing, but it's most def fake in terms of the in game "real" experience in terms of mechanics.
How do I get a multiculturalism agitator? My bud who watches you says that is the best move so conquered peoples can move to my industrial hubs without discrimination. Played 4 games now As Sweden and Ottomans, not one agitator.
Keep an eye out for Anarchist, Humanitarian, or Enlightened Royalist agitators. They might not initially push for Multiculturalism, but they can possibly stick around as agitators and push for it if you do their first thing. Only those 3 ideologies approve of Multiculturalism. It's pretty luck-based and afaik there's no way in which the game notifies you when one appears in the pool. You just have to check often and hope to get lucky. I think Anarchists are the easiest to get.
Wow the in betph explanationa about economy! AMAZING, have you trouth about runing for real country and workng in managing countries budgets?? I thing you really CAN DO IT! In order to make a difrence
Bro can you please do a guide on Greece (how to form Byzantium, and how to jumpstart basically a non existent economy) I feel like most other RUclipsrs know the same amount as me when it comes to vic 3 but it really seems like you know quite a lot about this game. I would love to see your how u deal with this start as most the nations I play start of really weak bcos I think it’s really satisfying to watch your nation start from nothing and grow to become the strongest nation. I don’t have much fun playing someoen like USA as they are already so overpowered. Thanks! I look forward to watching your video on it! (If you decide to make one)
Thank you for the super thanks! Greece is definitely on the radar/commonly requested so I'll keep it in mind, but for the most part nation selection goes through the polling process in the channel. It's pretty out of date but I did do a Mare Nostrum Greece/Byzantium run, half video, half stream, back in 1.2: ruclips.net/p/PLL3Li_R8P-oogiYvYGfp_I5PIcVjtk0mZ
I still don't understand what's the point of having more capitalists by getting publicly traded. The investment pool of a building mostly falls down rather than rise. Is publicly traded just a thing to change political situation in the country, oh there is really some economic point?
What would you do in a sticky situation such as the Netherlands where you don't start out with iron and if you conquer Bruinei in Indonesia which has iron, all the pops inside that province leave your country due to Netherlands starting with open borders. Also good vid :D
It's a little boring, but I think meta for every European heritage country w/o good mapi states is to go for Transvaal and use the Violent Suppression edict to be able to build there early.
Love your videos, helps me a lot as recently i go hooked into vic3. However, is there a chance to get a tutorial (pardon me if there was one about this topic already) about infrastructure, railroads and electricity? It just pains me a lot that i must sponsor these out of my pockets, only because wages are too low and nobody want to work there (or i am doing something wrong, thus why i would like a video related to these mechanics).
How should I balance economic expansion against military expansion, especially for countries with good early game conquest opportunities, e.g. taking the Mexican states as the US?
I think building in 1 state is okay, but its not always the best. Yeah local prices matter, but you can also have 2 states for more output through decrees and bonuses. I think for Spain for example using the Navarra and Asturia bonuses is really good even tho they arent "rainbow states" like Valencia(forgot which one had all of them). Also going into construction early on seems reasonable, but building textile mills early on for example, gives you a higher standard of living increasing birth rates and every pop not born in 1836 is a lot of population in 1936. So you can certainly cap out your economy harder later on, if you go for consumption goods early on.
I actually learned quite a bit here. I am playing the United States and am wondering when is a good time to build up the military to deal with Mexico. I am going to start again using things I learned here but is there a good time line to start adding a few barracks and government and railroads in? Thanks.
The moste fun i have in this game is making 1 Product state funded and devaluing a product so much that the economy of other countrys get tanked so much that they have to buy from me and then put massive tax on the products XD
Great guide, but I always struggle with trying to avoid going bankrupt. How am I supposed to balance my construction and income? Do I just pause building when debt gets too high?
So the fix seems to have scuffed a couple of the transitions - I think people would prefer I just leave the scuffed transitions rather than take it down and try to fix it (again).

I would love to see your how u deal with this start as most the nations I play start of really weak bcos I think it’s really satisfying to watch your nation start from nothing and grow to become the strongest nation. I don’t have much fun playing someoen like USA as they are already so overpowered. Thanks! I look forward to watching your video on it! (If you decide to make one)
Thank you for the super thanks! Greece is definitely on the radar/commonly requested so I'll keep it in mind, but for the most part nation selection goes through the polling process in the channel. It's pretty out of date but I did do a Mare Nostrum Greece/Byzantium run, half video, half stream, back in 1.2:

I still don't understand what's the point of having more capitalists by getting publicly traded. The investment pool of a building mostly falls down rather than rise. Is publicly traded just a thing to change political situation in the country, oh there is really some economic point?
thanks really useful!
Glad it was helpful!
What would you do in a sticky situation such as the Netherlands where you don't start out with iron and if you conquer Bruinei in Indonesia which has iron, all the pops inside that province leave your country due to Netherlands starting with open borders. Also good vid :D
It's a little boring, but I think meta for every European heritage country w/o good mapi states is to go for Transvaal and use the Violent Suppression edict to be able to build there early.
Okay, I'll see what I can do with that info 🎉
Love your videos, helps me a lot as recently i go hooked into vic3. However, is there a chance to get a tutorial (pardon me if there was one about this topic already) about infrastructure, railroads and electricity? It just pains me a lot that i must sponsor these out of my pockets, only because wages are too low and nobody want to work there (or i am doing something wrong, thus why i would like a video related to these mechanics).
Can you do a México run with the hegemony mission?
How should I balance economic expansion against military expansion, especially for countries with good early game conquest opportunities, e.g. taking the Mexican states as the US?
I think building in 1 state is okay, but its not always the best. Yeah local prices matter, but you can also have 2 states for more output through decrees and bonuses. I think for Spain for example using the Navarra and Asturia bonuses is really good even tho they arent "rainbow states" like Valencia(forgot which one had all of them).
Also going into construction early on seems reasonable, but building textile mills early on for example, gives you a higher standard of living increasing birth rates and every pop not born in 1836 is a lot of population in 1936. So you can certainly cap out your economy harder later on, if you go for consumption goods early on.
I actually learned quite a bit here. I am playing the United States and am wondering when is a good time to build up the military to deal with Mexico. I am going to start again using things I learned here but is there a good time line to start adding a few barracks and government and railroads in? Thanks.
The moste fun i have in this game is making 1 Product state funded and devaluing a product so much that the economy of other countrys get tanked so much that they have to buy from me and then put massive tax on the products XD
Great guide, but I always struggle with trying to avoid going bankrupt. How am I supposed to balance my construction and income? Do I just pause building when debt gets too high?
As you approach default you should delete construction centers over pausing construction
Hey friend, I'm a Brazilian vic 3 player and I want to know how I industrialize my country
This mapi mechanic is killing me, what should I do if I am playing something like osmans, where there is no single good mapi province? Im just fucked?
Ottomans have no coal/iron province, but a lot where they're just one province over. Very sad.
10:56 aaah Hokkaido, gold mines all the way xD
Legit the best.
