I remember that part of Transvaal history where Yu-Gi-Oh, leader of the trade unions, banished prince kaiba's armies to the shadow realm, it was a really interesting history class
My remedy for the shadow realm bug is to Create Army somewhere valid, ensure no other armies exist in shadowrealm space (south africa/boerland seems to do it to me a lot), disband the shadowrealmed army; it will instantly move the troops to another army elsewhere. Teleportation actually, but the army's organization starts at 0.
What also seems to work sometimes is assigning to HQ and after they reach it, then assigning to front, though it doesn't always work
@@thebestdamager7400just wanted to say the same, sometimes it works to just assign them to an HQ on the coast amd from there they can travel
For me it doesn't work it just recreates an army in the same hq
at 10:40 It's working as intended, the annexing you was NOT a PRIMARY goal. Backing down only give primary goals.
So for example, as japan if you declare a transfer subject war against the USA and they put "Open market" as their demand, you have to start the war and capitulate because the AI doesn't make "Open market" a primary goal.
I guess I don't remember reading it as primary, but I thought if you only have one wargoal that it's always primary.
@@generalistgaming I thought so too! I got very confused when i backed down and didnt get my market open. I also think it makes no sense at all that the AI doesn't make a primary demand, especially if they demand only one thing.
You get 20% loan repayment interest rate at base, and then you get another 25% for being an insignificant power. I'm guessing the UI shows them separately because they're from different modifiers.
Watching this makes me want to do a run just like it. Thanks for bringing this interesting thing up!
Edit: And holy shit the Intelligentsia's +50% migration attraction is powerful.
Sorry if I'm being pedantic but just to be clear for people who don't understand how it works, there's two sets of modifiers: one additive, and one multiplicative. The sum of additive modifiers is, as you say, your base rate, and it is simply multiplied by the sum of multiplicative modifiers to give you your actual interest rate. From what I can tell you have to look at the "Assets" tab of your "Budget" screen to see the actual rate.
In this case, 20% is the sum of additive and 25% is the sum of multiplicative modifiers. The actual rate would be 20% * 25% = 25%
I think they should rename the second modifier to "Loan interest rate rate" to make it just that much clearer.
as much as I love RP runs, I'm really excited to see the Transvaal start pushed to the max. I mean, if you're already sitting on the meta state, may as well
Agreed! Playing meta on an already strong nation isn’t fun given the lack of AI challenge. But starting tiny and trying to push it will be a lot of fun to see.
This is waaaaay harder to push on previous versions. Having played the first 3 episodes, Idk if it's possible to form the UK this run
Honestly it's great to see runs of countries like Transvaal! Feels like starts like these are a bit on the under-showcased side of Victoria 3. Sure it may not be as fast or forgiving as places with higher numbers of accepted pops and higher debt ceilings, but on the flipside you really feel that change in your country's power when it finally comes.
Really appreciate the video.
There is a lot of general stratergy about what is meta but this shows how conditionally you have to play as per the situation like how you ended up prioritizing Universities rather than construction.
Real helpful.
I now realize why I was struggling to employ up in EIC after the patch which was a lot easier before.
Yeah, there are only a few countries that have the 90%+ discriminated pops, and the play patterns are a lot different for them.
I am actually looking forward to this one. Generally in vick you have to rely on allies as a small nation but this has potential to become a superpower on the back of all the gold.
I actually think that the run would've been a lot stronger if not for the construction bug as well
Shadow army is port/road pathfinding bug, happens because you went to sea through Gaza, zoom in on the map and you will see that all ports are in Portugal part of Gaza.
You wont have issue with it now that Zulu is Dominion. It also happens in West Africa because of fractured colonies with no roads on map.
I have had it while owning Zululand and facing a rebellion in Lorenco. There was a clear path but they wouldn't take it. I had to wait for the front line to reach Transvaal before engaging.
i remember asking you for this video a while back thank you for delivering
Oof I felt your pain on that bug. I've been hit by the shadow realm too often in my own games. I hope they can figure out how to fix it quick. Usually, I only experience it in South Africa and Ethiopia. I wonder what's up with those regions that makes things to weird with army pathing.
Yesss, South Africa is cursed. Day 1 landing Gaza is one of my common plays, and this has caused me to discover that pattern.
I have gotten a bug before where a region i decided to colonize revolted and it made me go to war with them. That part was normal but the problem was the remaining land the province had was 100% unpassable terrain so I physically couldn't occupy them because they were protected by the desert. The funny part though is that portion of the region had 0 resources and 0 arable land so the 5k nomads left there were starving to death at a rapid pace. Serves them right for revolting against me. They can have their freedom as they starve to death in the desert.
Someone commented about it being split state w/ the port/road stuff in the wrong spots.
Good videos, thanks! Let's do it again later for Lanfang!
One way I've found to get soldiers out of Somalia/Ethiopia HQ is to go through Kenya/Zanj HQ (restation them in that HQ). I don't know how well it works if you don't own any of the coast there. You may also want to try to get them out through whatever HQ is in Yemen or Oman (restation them in that HQ).
The basic principle here is seeing if there's anyway you CAN go, trying baby steps first, and then see if you can go from there.
I've had similar problems in West Africa when doing colony swapping shenanigans. Only found my way out of there when I sold relevant colonies.
This was all done/tested as SAR->ITA though
29:52: "It feels like you get some jet fuel and *SNORT*.
My man, there are better drugs out there than jet fuel.
Idk, have you tried jet fuel?
Also one of the most fun starts in the game for me personally, please continue this playthrough!
Being in the British market as the boers is ironic
After watching this helped me loads not because of that start but since I love playing as Portugal invading them 2 places really did solve my money problem early and easy too 😂😂 thanks for the tip
Great episode. Looking forward to this series.
I primarily play as Ethiopia or Released New Africa from the US, but I have recently started to annex Transvaal, Zulu, Gaza and Oranje to get access to the gold an resources there.
Great video!
Your starting steps videos are really informative and constructive (although as a newcomer to vic3, admittedly confuse me sometimes), but i feel iv'e improved heavily despite that due in part to your excellent insight.
However, I,m still struggling majorly with a few ingame concepts, especially (as a Norway stan) playing as a puppet/underling/personal union of other states (and how to escape such a predicament). Therefore I would really appreciate it if you could make a video on underling gameplay in general or maybe even a dedicated Norway video?
Pretty please and thank you for all your already great content!

Generalist Gaming, Could you do a Standart of Living tutorial? what is it? How to increase it and what are its benefits?
This will probably be in the next 5-6 tutorials, or it will be a point in a migration video
Lore justification for swapping PMs to picks & shovels to juice low qualification employees before switching back:
Independent prospectors are paying to mine small quantities of gold. A few of them get very rich very fast with lucky finds and want to use their new wealth to start organizing the less fortunate miners to be more efficient.
It'll be interesting to see how this goes.
Really enjoyed the video thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can find the loan interest rate under the budget -> assets tab.
youre like the arumba of victoria, bald spreadsheet map man :)
I remember when I was 12 reading up about the history of Africa. A mercenary group settled around that area? I need to do my research again, but there was a nation who had a bad ass military.
Love the insights on how to on a region with such level of radicalization, the exploit also helps
Quick question: why do you consider parliamentary Republic that much better than presedential Republic, I thought the 100 authority was worth it
It's hard to pass the Trade Union's laws later if you go it is the shortest explanation. The authority isn't worth the drop in legitimacy
To get your troops out of exile, disband the army into another army that is not exiled. This also can teleport troops sometimes.
9:44 woah woah too soon
I know the "Promote Nation Values" decree sucks, but I feel like it would help here?
Ah yeah, a full dedicated video. Nice!
Hope you enjoyed it!
i did this, but i had a rev brew right after conquering orange. i switched sides. the rev wanted homesteading, it was rural and int rev. i was bolstering int since begin. i was then able to immediately win as since it was transval rev. i had the army now. so easy win. ban slavery, census suff, freedom of conscience(didnt have empirism yet or i could of done seperation with 78%) i had high wages all around for extra fast pass time.
if i did it again i would fix the mistake of preleveling atmosphere. cause in rev it resets ur progress on side switch. i should of been doing lathe whole time until the rev. it would of kept the progress since it keeps the progress of nat spreading things for some reason i believe. so it set me back a few thousnad points in tech. besides that. if its repeatable, its definetly the easy way to deal with discrimination ahead of even having the mining capabilities.
currently 1948 and already have most liberal policies. recommend rev early if repeatable.
Did you mean to still be at war with Oman at the end. They still have the coast of Tanzania under their control which may prevent you from ending war with them.
Not at war - just a visual bug where they looked occupied
A multiplayer livestream could be fun
I just finished a campaign as these guys too
If your troops get banished to the shadow realm you can just delete the army and they teleport to the nearest army.
Finally a gameplay not involving conquering Transvaal
Tbf I did open w/ taking Oranje though xD
By the way Boer is pronounced Boor (like a ghost)
Nonsense.
Shouldn't the government mint by buying gold? Or would this break the game somehow? 29:34
GGGOOOOOOLLLLLD! Thanks for the video.
I think the first war with oranje ended because they had not set a war goal as their primary perhaps?
I would like to see Lan Fang strategy
Amazing! Ive been looking for an arumba-esque channel on vic3: i played a free weekend but couldnt navigate the UI well enough to struggle through till 1860-ish. Do you have a video(s) that goes indepth into "how to intuit the ui"?
I.e. I had to export some fish and lumber, but had to go to a different tab to see the market price for that, then a different tab on a different panel to build more factroies. I'm coming from an euIV/vic2 mindset where "trade is under trade, production is production, and construction is construction". Why do i build factories in a different tab i delete them? I had been expecting more of a spread sheet simulator, but i was just confused at the presentation.
Ive similar issues with the military ui and the diplomacy.
I actually recorded a video like this but felt that it might be a little too basic in some spots and so I never pubbed it
Should you have made Oranje a protectorate and Regime change after you passed colonization? Then you’d technically have twice the colonizing power
Colonization speed is based on population, I'll get their colonization power after integrating them
I can't wait to L-F bug fixed, because if you play USA, it causes a huge budget deficit
Good stuff👍
Thanks 👍
Hey, appreciate the content, do you ever consider just turning the Private construction queue off in the game options? I've always hated it and prefer to just swap to auto expand when I get past the super micro'y early game construction
So about the discovery of gold. i am in 1845 and i am still without the gold. Is it random when you get it?
What would you say is the best single state, like to say stack up as a super state for your capital, would it be dehli or Jianxgi due to the huge arable land size?
Probably N. Bengal if you're ignoring coast access as a consideration. Similar to Delhi but gets Opium/Rice. Maybe Delhi though. Def a state w/ river bonus.
War goals seem to just not happen at random in this patch. Explains how you randomly lived.
Its super weird that this game doesn't have any inflation
Hard to imagine how they could model it w/ their system tbh
The UK guarentees the independence of Oranje at the start of the game...
U should always wait a bit...
You didnt lose at 10:30 because they didnt make the annexation a main goal
If Victoria 3 becomes a good game one day I´ll try a "Draka" run with one of the Boer States.
Wdym it's pretty decent y'all really need to stop with the brainless bandwagon vic2 fanboys cry so much, that game is unplayable nowadays
@@HenriqueRJchiki I have 250+ hours in Vic3 but it sucks. Every country feels the same and you have to manage buildings for 100 years. It´s a building management game while all the other aspects of the game are neglected. At least the pops in Vic2 have their own agency beyond "turmoil" for 100 years.
Why don't you use the direct control setting so you don't need to work around the private queue?
I played vic 3 for around 100 hours and still have no idea if im doing anything right
im still only winning battles with numbers
my economy still only grows up to 40 mil max at 1890
im always behind tech
i don't know what to build and where
and i can't play nations bigger than persia (only played columbia, persia, ethiopia and two siciliys)
are your tutorial videos from months ago still viable or have they updated the game too much?
Most are still somewhat useful but some have some outdated ideas. Chasing throughput for example isn’t very good anymore
Looking forward to watching this. By the way, you've been pronouncing Oranje wrong. The "je" part is not a "yah" sound it's a hard consonant. It's the Dutch word for orange, and it's pronounced similarly.
Unfortunately I've had people correcting me both ways on this one :/
@@generalistgaming Weird, since it's easy enough to Google the correct pronunciation, and I double checked to make sure. I know our Google overlord isn't 100% correct all the time, but you think they'd be right on this one. XD
It is really " o RAH n'yhe " or "oh raw nyuh" - checked on the anthem 'Nederlands is Oranje'. The final sound is a schwa following a palatal nasal 'ɲə'.
English speakers must be careful to pronounce the 'e' sound lower so that it might seem almost like 'yuh', but never go full yuh. "ɲə" sounds like someone grunting in mild aggravation: "nyuh"
This one country name is particularly vexing, but it's sounds like these that make Dutch what it is! I wanted to finally put this one to bed.
Yeah that was me, demavend is totally right, I think I just explained badly the first time (hard to transcribe in american english sometimes), as others have said it's very much "oh raw nyuh" (Source: I live there)
while I'm here, Boer is said more like Boor (/ˈbuː ər/), Vrystaat is said more like "Freystaat", Sotho is Suutuu, and the V in Transvaal is said as an F. Trust me, you don't even want to know the pronunciation of Xhosa
idk if paradox fixed it, when i played them i got level 5 colonizing and still had 1200 days with like 10 mil pops it was weird
So I think the tooltip saying how many pops you have incorporated might be bugged. Right now in the run the tooltip says I have 2.6m inc, but I'm getting colonization based off 1.6m. However, when I check Transvaal/Vrystaat I only have 1.6m there. The additional 1m is coming from Gaza, which is not yet incorporated, and has 1m pops.
You were most likely colonizing something with malaria.
God I miss sliders, I wish I could actually tax everyone 0% just for the hell of it.
Tbf, you can go consumption tax and put in no taxes if you'd want to do that long term
@@generalistgaming True, true. I just wish Paradox didn't break up with sliders since Vic 2 and EU3 - they weren't game changing, but it's a nice feel to have that extra customizations

Does higher loan interest rate give more money to pops giving the loan or does it just remove money from the economy?
It gives more money to the lender, but you can death spiral pretty easy if it's high.
@@generalistgamingohh that’s the reason ur avoiding loans ok makes sense
Wouldn’t it be easier to just start as Zulu and conquer Oranje and Transvaal?
You'd have 20 yrs on incorporation on the gold states, you'd be unrecognized, and you wouldn't be able to form the UK eventually.
is malaria not that bad? you didnt seem to prioritize researching it
I mean that's a pretty late tech, but also just getting the ball rolling economically is pretty important
@@generalistgaming yeah I'm like forty years into the run and I regret not going early for that mutual funds tech with the +10% minting
Have you ever thought about branching out to other genres of games like RPGs? I absolutely adore your tutorials and Vic and RottK videos and would love to see your analytical gameplay style applied to more games in the future.
Thanks for all the content and keep up the good work.
what? No demand for sulfur in eco? Then go play a MP game, with Players having 30-40k Army Power on the field, and suddenly the sulfur is short.
I mean the context here is SP, a lot changes in optimal MP
is promote national values not worth doing? is it impossible to assimilate native africans into boer culture?
You only assimilate accepted pops, which defeats the purpose of the mechanic. Transvaal might be the only country where it's useful though, because I can assimilate an accepted pop, like English, and then they won't have the Malaria penalty. Also somewhat useful if you wanted to empower the PB, for whatever reason
There are mods that force assimilation.
isnt this just a modern oil state
No, it's a playthrough of a videogame. Hope this helps
oh brother we got a funny one@@juanpablosotorojas7319
anyone know wht is the jobseekers do?
They seek jobs
Are they unemployed or are they working and looking for better job opportunities?@@HenriqueRJchiki
15:25 why not pass colonialism before that as you wanted?
LF is more important
TIL its pronounced "oranyah"
This is apparently a topic of some contention
I wish this game handled colonialism and exploitation more historically accurately, while allowing for history warping in more interesting ways.
These super racist, genocidal regimes didn't have problems employing mines, they just shot people who refused to work and worked the ones who did work until they died, while taxing their families into the dirt. This is why the colonies generated such enormous profits. The Brits took tens of trillions of dollars of wealth out of India in the real world, but you play the EIC in this game and you can't get iron mines in Andhar up to even 25% employment without a bunch of universities and decrees, *while on picks and shovels PM?* C'mon.
Conversely, the ability for colonized people to adapt to and learn from their oppressors could serve as a more historically accurate technology accrual system that could work within the sort of God-king dynamic of these games. Some interesting mechanics could be technology 'theft', the coup mechanic reworked to allow 'native' uprisings that give huge benefits to a subsequent independence play, perhaps a guerilla war mechanic that makes holding the territory very costly for a GP.
Overall there are a lot of problems with the current modelling of Colonization and the reality of Colonial regimes on the people colonized. Would probably require a whole DLC to really address correctly, or the modder community will need to do some creative work to better reflect historical reality.
You sound like a brainwashed third worlder. Colonies weren´t that profitable in reality, otherwise the British Empire would have been 50x as rich as the German Empire for having so much more colonial land, yet the German Empire was superior in almost every aspect with almost no colonies. Germany was also superior to France with less colonies. But I agree that colonies had forced labor and that the game makes too much of a struggle out of it when it wasn´t.
I generally agree, yeah
first !
