  • Victoria 3 is the best it's ever been with Sphere of Influence, and you can play the DLC right now, right here: play.victoria3...
    Thank you so much to Paradox for sponsoring this video!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I have been waiting for Sphere of Influence for a long time, but it's FINALLY here, and brings so much juicyness to Victoria 3! In this video, I guide you through all of the major innovations and new mechanics in Victoria 3 Sphere of Influence, and tell you exactly why I've loved my time with it so far.
    With entirely new Power Blocs, foreign investment systems, lobbies, leverage, and a complete revamp of the construction and internal investment systems, Sphere of Influence has made Victoria 3 the best it's ever been, and absolutely worth a play if you wanna jump back in, or if you've been waiting for a good time to finally do so.
    This means that with the revamped warfare system, new historically inspired journal entries, the Great Game events between Great Britain and Russia, and now the complete revamp of the economy and investment system, Victoria 3 is almost unrecognizable from its launch version, and is quickly becoming one of the best Paradox games out there.
    Let me know what you think of Victoria 3 Sphere of Influence, and please remember to leave a like on the video and subscribe to the channel!

    I hope you could help me. As a fellow Norwegian, I would really enjoy learning Norway in Vicky 3. However, even still there are barely any guides on the internett, and so my runs always end after 10-20 years.
    Youve played Norway in the background of many videoes, is it possible to get an aproximation of your strategy?

    • @AndysParadox
      @AndysParadox  Місяць тому +4

      My fellow Norwegian! My strategy was to focus military technology, build up the army as much as possible, try to become relatively self-sufficient (difficult, but focus first on building farms etc to feed your people for a higher standard of living, plus they dont take that long to build). Then once war with Sweden breaks out, defend as much as you can in the mountains, do not go on the offensive until you've depleted the Swedes' morale/supply/reinforcement. Defending those mountains is the key!

      @David-io9lp Місяць тому +1

      Am I missing something about the game? I have never played Victoria 3, although I hope to soon be able to do so. In my view, my strategy would simply be to have great relations with all other powers, focus on a buoyant economy by going into industries where there is a lot of global demand as opposed to a strategy of self sufficiency, and lastly focus on military strength by being one of the foremost nations in military technology. Does this strategy not work?

    The only thing insane about this is it took them this long to even begin to address the completely broken economy on release. Previously all the game had was a command economy (i.e. socialism/communism). From your review it looks that at least some of that has been addressed. All they needed to do was copy the system in Vic 2 and it would have been excellent with the eye candy updates. Curious to see how this overpriced patch (not a dlc, should be a free fix for an unfinished game on release) actually works in detail.

    The UI in this game at the moment is absolutely awful. Pop ups everywhere and you feel like you aren't in control of anything. Compared to EU4 and HOI4, which have almost perfect UI's, this game has a long way to go and I have no doubt it will improve.
