One of my first games was as a Lake Victoria Native loved nations that couldn't even reach joining against my wars and had to become a French protectorate with 0 market access
I'm convinced that this music just plays in College's head whenever he plays in Bo's games. In all honesty though, it's pretty cool to start seeing the POVs of Bo's gang, instead of just interpreting things from the Danish perspective.
Great playing. I have tried Ethiopia a couple of times already. I know how tough it is. And seeing how far you can get is an encouragement to keep trying
I just completed an Ethiopia run but instead of going north into Egypt I actually managed to push entirely South through Kenya tanzanica all the way through Portuguese Mozambique to border the Zulu. I also colonized the interior and met America and France right in the middle. Weirdly the only colony that kept popping up on the east was the Russians and although they outnumbered You by so much it takes them forever to get to their colony so by the time they are almost arriving you have wiped out the entire land mass and everything is occupied. Honestly a very fun run very complicated and I might add I did it without joining any customs unions or becoming a protectorate
Honwarlt I do see potential in the combat system. There are moments in my own games where I'm genuinely invested and feel like I'm contributing. And then I see my armies get stuck fighting the sikhs for 5 years because despite having far better troops and generals, local allies, incredible supply lines, and the sikh literally had no operational factories or trade partners because I simply could not advance through the mountains despite winning more than half the fights.
The Sikhs start with a pretty strong and relatively modernised professional army and 5 weapons factories to support it. They are able to beat the EIC at game start. In fact, the best strategy for the sikh empire at the moment is to declare war immediately on kalat or sindh hoping that the east india company joins, as you are able to beat them in a two front war, take war subsidies and delhi right of the bat. Were you further in the campaign or relatively early? The earlier you attacked the stronger they would be.
BTW Why Ethiopia doesn't have any gold mines in its geographical region? It's known that during the reign of Tewodros II Ethiopia exported a lot of gold. Gold has been mined there since the 11th century.
I recommend you try an equalist run on Sweden. It's pretty fun, and you can either go full Scandinavia by pupetting Finland and Denmark or just by reconquering Finland from the Russians. You should also spread your scandinavian higher quality of life to Africa and Central Asia in exchange for materials. It's pretty fun!
Yeah, in the current state of the game Africa definitely just exists to be conquered. It becomes pretty obvious when you compare the vital resource (coal, iron etc) potentials of large swathes of Africa vs, like, literally just half of Germany. You can have a pretty damn fun game playing as Sokoto, though- since you start with African Heritage you can integrate other African states in 5-10 years, which lets you snipe all the most valuable integrated provinces before the big powers get to them. Madagascar might also be pretty playable, but I haven't tried it yet.
Tbh, playing in Africa is easier than Victoria 2 but realistically, you need such a high baseline income to build construction sectors that by the time you get that income, it's late game
dude i have been trying to play etiopia for a solid 5 days now i constantly manage to make it with half the states i need and then i get surounded by the french egyptians and british and then they just show up in every single fucking diplomatic play and of course i can't go "hey join me" no they join the fucking SPEC i'm fighting who has 1 division and 0 natural recourses
Extra points for being so boring to play them without some sort of modernization system to get the indistrual/victorian society tecnology tree first. (Therefore, playing countries like Japan, or get Spain out of his dark age are, to this day, completely useless when it comes to fun.).
Your commentary is solid, as is your editing, but I think - and don't jump down my throat here - I think you could do with cutting down on your sarcasm from time to time. Rooting for your success, keep it up man
I rather form Ethiopia as Gonder, early diplomacy it's a bit rng because you're to weak to fight in 2 fronts, but if you can solo or semi-solo (let's say you fight Tigray and they get suported by idk let's say Geledi wich doesn't share a border), thanks to the event of "the outlaw Prince" (wich gets Theodoros Solomonid in the throne, and you use him as a commander /he has great offensive perks/), plus getting the military +10 loyalty bonus (by enacting or at least trying to get enacted professional army) you can not onlt speedrun the conquest of Ethiopia but also, cuck the French from colonizing Kenya (if you are lucky with law enactment), and if you are fast enough you can even (specially if you invested in military techs) catch the Egyptians with the pants down amidts the conflict with the Turks.
The war system is good, though. I don’t see why you’re being so sarcastic. The fact that you lost because your general blundered is GOOD, it’s an anti-blobbing measure and realistic.
At least this guy is brave enough to upload Victoria 3 unlike Bokoen1 (The Danish guy)
oh hey look it's funni mixed review man :)
I understand bokoen1, afterall you need a strong will to force yourself through pain.
thanks for clarifying, i thought it was the Congolese guy
Dame I'm sure isorrowproductions will not do a A to Z again

You could have just waited. Your war support doesn’t go below 0 if they can‘t reach your capital.
@@zacharykennedy3848 I just got really board waiting and wanted to see if it would change isolationism law
@@romulusnuma116 *bored and you know. You can make a save and reload to test things out
"despite my general's best efforts" is classic victoria 3 gameplay
Mans forgot the best part of victoria 3 war, your generals just leaving the front if they can't mess anything up.

College your Vicky videos are by far the best on UA-cam don’t stop uploading
As Ethiopia its always good to rush the African Great Lakes region since it has coal in it. IRL Ethiopia has coal too!.... but it's not in Victoria 3!
One of the first nations I played was Egypt, it wasn't bad, but once you're established, yeah, I felt bad for Africa.

This man not taking the OP leader to unite Ethiopia.
These victoria videos are great, keep em comin
8:18 Line go up, indeed.
What a wise man, a wise man that can see past the treachery of the snake of Denmark
Banger video as always and also i wanted to know since you seemed like you played a ton of vic3 what do you think this game needs to fix first?
The war system
This is one of the best short Ethiopia 🇪🇹 runs that ive ever seen so far keep it up!❤
Glad you called out the snake of Denmark for who he really is
4:30 POV: Ethiopians at war with Tigray right now (and committing genocide)
(Seriously look it up, the Tigray war is happening right now as I speak)
It's already ended a few weeks ago
I made a huge Uganda in my last game. I ended up ranked 24 or something like that.
Im fully convinced now that college just hates himself at this point
If you ever feel like you're having too much fun, play with Swimmy on your side.
The pain in his voice
Awesome content, keep it up. This channel is going to grow quick.
I can't wait for you to play a nation from Micronesia
can't wait to pay for 3 dozen DLCs to fix africa in 2027
What you mean fix africa? Its op as fuck
BTW Why Ethiopia doesn't have any gold mines in its geographical region? It's known that during the reign of Tewodros II Ethiopia exported a lot of gold. Gold has been mined there since the 11th century.
are you on a trampoline?
Tried playing Great Lakes unifier and it actually went pretty well until Russia went aggro on colonizing East Africa for some reason.
Side note: The leader of Shewa is a great offensive general so just click him down on the front and you'll win
Ethiopia in the beginning be like
N O C O A L N O S U L P H U R N O T R A D E
It does indeed suck

I do great with a hardcore monarch at all times.

Im sorry for pointing it out...
4 minutes into the video I didn’t realize this was fucking college.
Tbh, playing in Africa is easier than Victoria 2 but realistically, you need such a high baseline income to build construction sectors that by the time you get that income, it's late game
Man, what a tragedy, without the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, Ethiopia gets no pizza!
It's ok we got injera
Pizza

Love the background music

The "cards" are so bad you gotta wonder if it isn't intentional just for the meme value

If I could make a suggestion it would be too not use But to start 2 sentences in a row. It sounds very awkward. Love the content!!
Bro didn't use Solomon
Great video!!!
where is tanks for the memories 2
Instruction unclear. Video is an edit of war and does not show anything about the development of anything. No pain represented
who
Where do you get your ideas from
You should play as the Austrians next. Also, you should start a podcast with voice it's silky af
Suid-Afrika is op
Your commentary is solid, as is your editing, but I think - and don't jump down my throat here - I think you could do with cutting down on your sarcasm from time to time. Rooting for your success, keep it up man
You're already playing a garbage game, so playing the worst part of that is true masochism.
Pls play UAD ultimate admiral dreadnoughts I you can efford it
To be honest, Ethiopia was easy mode.
please make the background music a bit more quiet its nearly as loud as your voice if not louder
Better than a bokoen video (please show him this comment and make him weep Danish tears)
BF1 When?
Hey I dont know if you do this but write a script to read from.
Subscribed :)
Please make more videos
I'll have another one out on Sunday

You get that event as any of the Ethiopian minors it seems as I got it playing as shewa (the historical one to unite Ethiopia)
:) nice Video
Hey (with rizz)
@compykeed
I don't know why but you sound like college from bokoen1 😂😂😂 that's just weird since you also have the same name lol
