With this + the new investment rules, exploitation of other countries is gonna be through the roof. And I love it
At least you now can use your economy to paint the map, not just sit until that infamy counter (totally not negative mana) is counting down.
Stay tuned for the next video on foreign investment today!
Im from a colonized country, yet i also cant wait to exploit and colonnize other nations. I guess humans are just evil haha
she power on my bloc till i zollverein
😩🥵

The Goon Bloc shall rise
Never goon found his enemy
HYPEEE
Thank you normal not youtuber commenter
@@Victoria3Official Yup. I'm just a normal man who loves trains and hates cars.
@@generalistgaming Train Good.
Basically stellaris federation, but I like it
This is the prequel to that DLC set 400 years earlier.
the guy in the Start looks like the grand vazir Midhat pasha
When does Generalist get to narrate one of these
i would like to see that.
I second this.
Wow. Balancing and bugfixing this must have been a huge amount of work. Thanks Paradox! I even deviated from my "never preorder!" policy.
(Offtopic: The same can't be said about Bloodlines 2, after making in a Cyberpunk Swansong)
Finally a massive buff to politics. When this game released it really was lacking in everything save for a decent economic system, which made it feel like an economic sim... Love to see expansion in the exploitation, influence and investment aspects which were so prevalent in the Victorian era! They still need to fix the military/navy side of things and need to add a whole bunch of flavour, but they are going in the right direction!
it's a modifier based on a condition, with custom UI. I don't know of a vic3 player who ever said "I need such a feature" but I know of a lot who said they needed other features. The modifiers would have mattered if the game was at all difficult.
Dominating the world will be more stylish and satisfactory than ever 😊
i will try Pan-Africanism power block
That's what I'm gonna do too, but I'm going to call it the Black Panther Party
@@jwg1 sadly we canot form black panter party on USA and take over
@@moiseskilp but you can free new africa tho
TOBIAS
Hello there
Will the AI be able good enough to understand it and use it correctly?
Of course not, they can't even understand buildings
They might improve ai@@masteriw
Course not, vic3 it's a sandbox, if ai it's too strong it becomes tedious
@@ITT59Gamer they'd done so by now if they could
ay glad to see Toby !! 💯 seems like a nice dlc
Looks great in theory but I'm worried the ai will even be able to use these features in a random fashion never mind in a logically targeted way.
Massive win for multiplayer users though(even if I don't play it myself).
I hope they don't make expansion even harder
Yay! Go Pdox and waste our time with filler info that we all already heard/ know of. You never cease to suck for every game you release as of late. Keep up the good work!
Then stop buying their games and tell others to do the same. SImple as.
I am so ready for 1.7!
finally we getting vic 3
This looks good! Looking forward to playing this
Between adding character models and customizing statues that mean nothing, I wonder where this recent fixation on superfluous aesthetic junk has come from at Paradox. It works in Crusader Kings but pretty much all their other games are country-focused rather than dynasty-focused.
It's superficial junk that even if it's not a lot of resources in a vacuum, servicing still eats into game resources that could be devoted to the actually important systems.
Well i bet its because they want to keep the peoples that does those working so they keep their experience for when a new game will come, those dont work on the system you want but since they dont have the competences to do it, it dont take ressources away from it
Art people at paradox need things to do.
my thoughts exactly, this DLC feels like it belongs in CK3. It's like Tours and Tournaments or Royal Courts, they're fluffed up by a lot of new buttons to click that don't really address any of the game's fundamental weaknesses. Atleast in CK3 they're really zeroing in on RP aspect but with Vic3 there's still so much work needed to fix the core gameplay mechanics
Making a game pretty should never be frowned upon IMO. These systems do not take away from others.
@@android175 Do you know what opportunity cost is or do you just lick corporate boot as a hobby?
I am not too happy about these changes. I think its just a feature where you press some button to get some modifier
WAIT NO WAY ITS TOBIAS YOOOOO
Wassup.
Paradox Wouldnt it be a good idea to customise country flags, logos and names of the political parties etc.? We need more customisation.
renaming cities would also be sweet
i mean you can edit all of that by modifying the games files or downloading a mod so I don't think paradox should waste their energy doing that
@@SebastianRoczz Names should be a thing, super easy to implement and many want it without having to use time outside of the game
@@SebastianRoczzyou should be able to do that in game
@-Mopo Thay sounds like an interesting idea, especially since, I'm assuming, cities have been renamed in this setting (especially after the Russian Civil War).
So excited to play this!
I hope these bonuses are grounded in reality.
Very excited about the release !
Wish it wasn't mostly just modifiers as a bonus of forming/joining a Power Bloc but rather a way to make AI behavior more consistent (ie guarantees from AI of joining your aggressive wars or embargos on other nations in exchange for foreign investment and some PB membership buffs). Foreign investment sounds good though, and hopefully it leads to AI diplomacy that isnt so fickle, where it won't just abandon you at a moment's notice. If it's just buffs on buffs the game is already easy enough from a internal politics/economy side, it just gets easier with that. Diplo on a consistency level needs to be a priority, where AIs pick and choose what diplo plays to join from a historical/regional and reasonable sense, not just throwing it's economy down the drain because of you taking an OPM on the other side of the earth.
I suck at this game but love hunting achievements (You can guess how they go hand and hand) but I’m excited to see how the new achievements will be! Nice work guys, looks fun to use.
I really hope the development team took feedback from the forum and scaled back the most game-y modifiers coming from those unions. Wouldn't like to see this beauty of a game slowly get deranged into a Stellaris/HOI4-style modifier stacking game.
The "deranged modifier stacking games" you mentioned are what people like. It's the deranged economic sim that still needs to prove itself
@@valeriolibratti9643 the discord says otherwise. Most people hate it. Keep those wacky "mechanics" in EU4 but not anywhere in Vic 3
Interesting. Let’s see Aquila interactive’s power blocks.
Gonna be honest, this should've been a base game feature (at least a scaled down version) plus the foreign investment mechanics. Only after this could we say the game is approaching the end of its Early Access-like launch.
A very expensive early access addition, no less.
Actually the Ottoman, Russian, GB, Austria, Prussia power Błocks are free to use. You cant just make a custom one
Can I (militarily) force a country to join my Power block?
I still think we should be able to join more than one power bloc. If one or two power blocs types are simply just better, why would I ever want to create or join a worse type? What if I want to create a Sovereign Empire as France, but also want to create the Entente as a military treaty? With the limit of only being in one power bloc, I would never be able to do that.
And a power bloc that has an identity that cannot change, only get more cemented? Weird decision.
Power błocks are the sphere of influence of the founder not a union of equals
I hope to see Midhat Pasha in Game as a Historical Character
When vic 3 released i think it was disapointment but after two years i like every patch, keep going. I think this game need more historical character for senario.
We have more historical characters being added in both Update 1.7 and Sphere of Influence! We mention it in the Art Dev Diary for Sphere of Influence!
Tobyyyyyyyyyyyy
Karesakkkkkkkkkk 😂
the performance looks worse my guy
so...when are you gonna fix navies?
Here for Tobias
I hope this doesnt break the game by giving too much advantage to countries inside a power bloc
Praying this will save the game, but 29,99$ for sth which should have been there from release will be main blocker for this to succeed...
I yearn for the 1.7 mines
when's the MP desync issue being fixed
Sounds very exciting!
thanks toby. for explaining this
This for the dlc or free?
I think most of this will be free
The features of the Power Bloc can be accessed for free, but the only Identity you can form as a free player normally is the Trade League. However, any of the historical setup Power Blocs e.g. British Empire, you can play as with their identites even if they are part of the DLC.
@@Victoria3Official thank you:)
They should have a cap on the number of statues. It looks odd with them in every state
Ah yes stellaris federations
why is this acutally good
Finally the Pope shall have a Catholic Italy, a Catholic Europe, … a Catholic World
By force of arms if necessary
I just hope there’s a game rule to disable the uniforms given to power bloc leaders
I love how the game is turning out, ignore all the ppl that have never played the game and throw hate anyways, i love this game so much, keep it up guys ❤
Omg you can create basically EU!
who put vic 2 in my vic 3
I mean
Vic 2 sphere of influence was just what in vic 3 is a custom union
Nice!
All I heard was Exploitation Colonization 101
Надеюсь после 500 часов в Викторию 3 мне не пригодятся эти знания в оставшейся жизни
and we will have to buy a DLC for this?... forget it paradox, you undelivered on VIC3.
German led EU, here I come! ❤
Me on my way to balkanize the world in order to get more mandates
this game blows
Yoooooooooooooo
1:36 That sounds arbitrary. Just bonuses for the sake of bonuses.
This got from basic ass aliances to full fledged EU
So a different type of Hugbox then?
Nobody wants to join my power block since 30 years, not even ONE SINGLE COUNTRY, wtf of a "feature" should that be?!
yeah they literally destroyed Victoria there is no hope for it anymore vic 2 is still better in my opinion
How about fix or change the battles first. Maybe fixing current dead game and then adding stuff would be better.
PAN AMERICA
Pan Asian anti colonial league he we come💪🏾
The icon is just gross.Doesn’t feel like Victorian era at all.Please find some references when you design 😅
Especially those purple crap,ewww so gross
early geng
4k views in 4 hours only? Damn game really fell off
the fact that you’ll have to pay for this is unbelievable, this was a base game feature for vic2
somehow these devs always prove me wrong and that the game can always get worse. it even seems to be their specialty.
So unnessesary.
no.
God this is gonna be shit
Grim
I hope this makes playing minors fun otherwise i dont see a future for this game anymore.
I mean it is literally a waiting simulator playing as a minor
I hope not to see another Austrian hegemony AI
hm, looks alright
Misspelled Ideological at 1:21. Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder...
I mean, that's a bit too harsh. Considering it is easy to fix.
Why would a country need arbitrary 'mandates' to define the kind of power bloc it's creating? What is it even simulating? Can a trade league irl have only one principle until other countries join? It's too gamey. The statues also sound silly af.
It is more like a cold war game rather than a 18 century.
Whoever came up with the idea of having UA-camrs do voice overs should be fired. Hire an actual voice actor
I mean its not too bad, it allows youtubers to collaborate with game devs which might extend how long they stream thst game also the players know the game best sometimes plus i dont think cost much or cost at all
There will be no toby slander
Its not THAT bad.
Dead game
So, Imperator?
