When Paradox asked us to make a video about the new Victoria, we initially thought about making a video around the many complex mechanics that make up the game and its live economy, but then realised I could dress up as Michael Caine from Zulu, so please do go and check out Victoria 3 here, to support the channel. It makes us look good, not that we need the help when dressed like this. play.victoria3game.com/Squire

you can tell this is accurate to the game because the commander is barely looking at the troops and letting them do their own thing
What else can you do?
Yeah I love viccy3 to death(got 30 hours in it already) but the combat is horrible, especially how sometimes the front lines just explode and you don't have enough generals to split out and then the AI just creates 10 more generals and traps all your troops on a few front lines and then just Blitzkriegs straight through your homeland and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it, cause front lines are sometimes small and many of them next to each other, very annoying.

It feels like a rather natural development. They did allow you to drug your own populations in Stellaris. So why not export it to others as well?
I haven't played Victoria 3 yet (I've played 2 though), but why not?
If you're playing with the past as imperial Britain or any country with a colonial empire or slavery, you should feel that you're actively playing as "the villains", and hurting your very soul in doing so. Just like if you played as the Nazis in Hearts of Iron.
It's important that history isn't romanticised because it was dark and extremely messed up - just like the present. How are you meant to understand or help build a better world if you don't understand that?

One of the big ironies in regard to this particular war is that the Zulu were pretty experienced imperialists themselves. They butchered their way through the surrounding country, occupying and stealing land and cattle of their neighbours as they went. The survivors fled to British and Afrikaans territory and were more than willing to sign up and help the British during their invasion of "Zulu" territory during the war. Kind of delicious irony I do say so myself 🙂
arwing, you forgot to mention how the Zulu’s made slaves of the tribes they conquered.

@@vapaus831this is weird historical revisionism opium was understood to be a destructive and destabilizing addictive narcotic which is why the Qing emperor banned its import in 1796.
@@vapaus831 yes, both statements can be true. There are people who use and sell drugs like cocaine now, that doesn’t mean that we don’t know these narcotics are addictive and dangerous. My point is the Qing government knew that opium was dangerous in part due to the large growing population of addicts which was incredibly destabilizing which is why they banned it. Just everything you said is factually untrue. Opium became quite widespread in China which was the problem and why it became banned. The British most definitely knew it was addictive which is why they were pushing it heavily and fought two wars to force the Chinese market open. The Chinese didn’t want to open trade with the British at all, but the selling of opium creates a captive market due to its addictive quality which made it a reliable and profitable way to force Chinese demand for British goods. And opium was definitely a known drug before the 19th century its been used since the time of the Romans.

There are people out there who'd say it's simpler to grasp the basics of running an actual country than learning the bare necessities of how to play Victoria.
Mainly because Victoria makes less sense.
So, what you're saying is that Paradox got an economy system right then?
Those people are right.
Because the rock and splitting some heads is easier than the Game.
Depends on the government, and the size. But yes, in real life you have a board of cabinet members to advise you while you make the hard decision and take the blame.
While in game you rule like the czar, run the government like the czar, have no advisors while you make all the hard deivisions and blame it on the game for your failures.
