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!
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.
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 🤣
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.
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.

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.

On release this game was so stupid easy. I still remember my first time playing.

Now they just need to fix some minor things like the “populating the Americas” journal entry.

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.
I recently got Vic 3 and even though I usually like getting into depth with numbers in other games, In Vic 3 I tend to just add one of everything to each state (once it would potentially make money) and then just let them auto construct.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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?
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.
after watching your video i must say first it really helped a lot as i didn't understand some of the hidden mechanics that were really affecting my game and #2 this game is really based off of a keynesian almost socialist economic mindset of how they see things work based on what the value system is like.
Brother I have a minor in economics and I still can’t figure this shit out nearly 100 hours in. Hardest learning curve of any PDX game I’ve ever played
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!
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?
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?
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
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.
Don't know if you talked about this but if you start as a very resource limited nation like Denmark, then what would you suggest doing to get local prices down, i played a game in which my idea was to mass colonize and exploit my colonies to feed the home islands but it simply seems to not work because of how the current implementation works
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?
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.
Am I understanding this correctly? Early game it's better to build buildings that employ more people. Late game it's better to automate those production methods to free up shrinking labor pools for other jobs?
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.
This helps incredibly bit I'm confused as hell, none of my buildings except for financial districts have the option to change the owners to capitalist? Why is this and how can I fix it?
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.
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?
It's Hannibal Barca! The caption says "Yes We Cannae" (Hannibal Barca is famous for fighting against Rome in the second Punic War. In the Battle of Cannae he killed an enormous percentage of the adult male population of Rome).
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'm still having the problem since the game came out that no matter what, i cant lower the price of the inputs for construction & it stays too expensive

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.
comment for the algorithm; very informative walkthrough

Am I understanding this correctly? Early game it's better to build buildings that employ more people. Late game it's better to automate those production methods to free up shrinking labor pools for other jobs?
That's roughly correct, yes.
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.
Glad it helped!
This helps incredibly bit I'm confused as hell, none of my buildings except for financial districts have the option to change the owners to capitalist? Why is this and how can I fix it?
That was the old system now ownership is no longer tied to the buildings
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.
So is there a mid-game follow up to this where we care more about worker efficiency?
Yeah, it's titled mid game industrialization through automation or something like that.
Can you share these spreadsheets? These are great man
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?
please tell what is the portrait in the background?
It's Hannibal Barca! The caption says "Yes We Cannae" (Hannibal Barca is famous for fighting against Rome in the second Punic War. In the Battle of Cannae he killed an enormous percentage of the adult male population of Rome).
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'm still having the problem since the game came out that no matter what, i cant lower the price of the inputs for construction & it stays too expensive
thats literally impossible
@@Anonymuskid it is possible & its happening to me every time i play this game for nearly 2 years
10:56 aaah Hokkaido, gold mines all the way xD

Glad it was helpful!
Can you do a México run with the hegemony mission?
