Ngl, letting Spiff have long-term access to this game is great both for promoting the game and providing auxiliary quality assurance for the devs. Perfectly balanced!
I legit preordered after watching Spiff’s videos. 2 days ago I didn’t even know it was coming out, now I’m literally counting the minutes until Steam let’s me install it
This was such a great stream, we were left on cliffhanger of Spiff saying "Have a good-" something that was cutted off. Anyways I would like to see Spiff play Ottomans or Egypt(Both of them are what I'm interested in playing).
One day Spiff's gonna wake up and decide that he's gonna really take over the world and nobody would be able to stop him because he'd exploit the laws of physics.
Love the fact the justification for aggression against the Spanish Philippines was “you lose Wales, you take it back somewhere else”. Best quote of the stream 😂
@@RecklessFables nah an exploit isn't a big deal, considering it's essentially optional and you have to be looking for them to actually run into them. unless you are trying to break the game, the game won't break, and that's all that matters.
I love how Paradox is really big into ‘what if’ questions. Like, “what if England had signed a treaty with aliens and, thus, had had teleportation in the mid 1800s? And then they were lead by a god like, all seeing man with an immaculate accent and a Corgi?” Now we know.
Paradox always has so many weird interactions of numbers in the simulations, Navies are almost always irrelevant, and in the first day of the First Opium War here the British lost more men than they did in the entire nearly 3 years of the actual First Opium War.
I think its just what happens when you need to make a one size fits all system and so ends up happening all their historical games. You create a system that has sensible numbers at one point but it ends up getting weird at another point. And PDX games also have the issue that wars are pretty much always all in affairs, theres no real reason why combat will be limited when troops can quickly be moved around.
Spiff mostly forgot the tea part though, the last time he showed us the screen with thast on he was actually producing more of the devils bean juice then tea. I think being invaded by France and losing Wales distracted him a bit.
I love that you can keep my full attention for almost 4 hours more than if I watched an hour long movie. Yes, I watched this VOD in one sitting... Also, I've always loved the thought of RTS games. I've just never had the patience, so it's really nice to watch you play. Especially since you play the way I would want to. Thank you for existing! I'm glad I just found out about you last month, so I have years of spiffy videos to enjoy!
.... I fell asleep to UA-cam open for the first time and woke up to this. Ngl this is pretty good and idk why my dreams were about kicking alien ass but I blame this video
That doggo barking in the background is throwing me off XD We've had a huge problem with neighbours letting their dogs out all hours of the night to bark nonstop.
When you retook the US, you should have sent someone to dive to the bottom of Boston harbour, scooped up some silt from the bottom and made the president drink it. “There’s still a bit of tea in there I’m sure!”
if at any point i let my video auto play after watching, it ALWAYS chooses this video. i don’t know what magical exploit your using to do this but it’s working terrifyingly well. i’ve fallen asleep to this video at least 3 times in the past 5 days and i finally had to put my foot down, open my phone and change it because i can’t listen to you begin your conquest for a fourth. you have earned my like and sub tho
Gotta admit, I cheered a bit when Wales poked out. Nothing better than some schadenfreude and some pushback while watching you otherwise stomp all over the AI.
Missed the original stream but watched it all now along with your other Victoria 3 video on Jan Mayen. I'm now wondering how you'd do with a landlocked country given (I presume) that would mean you can't go creating colonies etc.
Since my computer passed, I have been living I think quite vicariously through Spiff's marvelous exploits and unique style of gameplay. Love these videos.
Can't believe I actually watched a stream. The last one I watched was Technoblade's last stream. This whole stream was just so entertaining, I don't really know how you could even cut much of this game, when playing like you.
Took me two days to watch this, after watching you and potato play; this was a must have, I am going to try Japan like Potato did for his tutorial videos, also it seems that GB is as OP as I thought it would be in this game, and those sneaky gits gave me a good laugh when they took Wales from you
Idk if or how you broke UA-cam now but this video has kept coming up constantly as soon as I finish watching any other video. For real always this video playing after I leave UA-cam on autoplay after every single video!
Hmm I see that Spiffing unlocked the tech for a Jet Propelled Guided Naafi in 1836. Allowing him to travel from London to China in under sixteen seconds! What a fiendish weapon.
Thanks spiff bought the game loving it Played united tribes and formed Australia-New Zealand by 1880 Having new Zealand rule Australia was very funney after wating till new South wailes revolted and I sided with the revolution
Great stream, Spiff. I'm excited to pick up the game (I think it will be my Christmas gift to myself in a couple months), and play as my homeland of Ontario, Canada, or as it was at this time, Upper Canada. It will be my job to make the largest of Her Majesty's realms into a grand Dominion, unifying all of North America (or both Americas) under the British crown.
So I fall asleep to youtube every night and I have the automated videos thing on and every day it puts this video on, I love spiff and he is one of the only youtubers I watch.. but the amount of times I have woken up to this one specific video is kinda driving me insane.
I wanna play as Murica and spread Freedom to the world in convenient and relatively small packages that can be delivered at supersonic speeds to the Opressed (i.e. everyone else)
Why 29:40 no Japanese trade convoys in 1838? This is historically correct. During the isolationist Edo period Japan was almost completely introverted, it pursued a policy of almost absolute isolation for more than two centuries. Trade with foreign countries was before 1853 only conducted through Dutch (and Chinese) merchants as an intermediary. For that the Dutch had on a very small island (Dejima) near Nagasaki a trading post from where all of Japan's trade with foreign countries took place. The reason for the strict Japanese isolation policy was the fear in Japan that the country would fall into the hands of the colonial powers. Historically Japan's policy of isolation came to an end in 1853 when an American fleet (commanded by Matthew Perry) appeared on the Japanese coast forcing Japan to open its borders to foreign trade. See the Wikipedia article: Convention of Kanagawa.
