AI DOES use ''Liberate Country as Subject'' but not everytime. I have also seen great powers trying to keep up with the 50 infamy limit. It might be just random but i'm proud of AI not dissapoint me in this department. Thanks for the updated set and video!
Thanks for taking the time to do this again for the latest version. I haven't seen anyone else doing an expansive commentary on Vicky mods like this. Once again you've identified some new mods for me to try. 😁 Peasants with crazy SOL have been causing problems for me in recent runs: life is just so great on subsistence farms people just wont take a job and subsidizing buildings just moves the labor shortage between buildings. I found the pop demand "fix" just made this problem worse so I had to deactivate that. How pops that produce virtually nothing can enjoy a 10, 11 or even 12 SOL is a complete mystery to me.
please keep making these. although it may be more work, I would be curious to eventually hear your view on the larger popular mods: -Hail Columbia (you should have a field day with this one) -Victorian Flavour Mod (-Morgenröte) and of course: -the Better Politics Mod
@@An_Economist_Plays Good to know. Would you consider doing a video on it when it develops past a certain point? Not a playthrough, but a showcase, introduction, and what it changes vs the base game.
Dear professor, In terms of railways and powerplants, you can click the corresponding transport and power button below on market tab and have a clear view for deficits and build buttons countrywide. Once a couple of years would be sufficient to keep things in order. I much prefer to keep immersion and its really managable. Also thanks for video, its great to start a day with your eccentric energy (:
If the deficit overlay could be visible as I built, there would be far less back and forth for my game. As it is, I just build evenly and let the game sort the rest.
It's strange that they would leave out global stats and global markets considering that they focus on economics and diplomacy through economics. Seems like a huge late game hole.
Indeed. And I do hope late game holes get addressed in 1.9 or 1.10, when those come out. 1.8 looks like it'll go after other areas that need some attention, but it's great to see the game get fleshed out.
Hey, great modpack, very impressive amount of mods with no issues - wondering what you feel about VTM. I like that it makes radicals appear just from how capitalism is which is pretty realistic but i assume it might cause issues with a few of the mods here. Does it?
My impression, and I could be wrong, was that VTM was a collection that made for a total overhaul, so I would imagine a number of conflicts with other mods in my set. Not all, but a good number of them. It would take some time to hunt down which ones in particular, but one could do it by inspecting code and finding where there are different changes for the same item.
Any thoughts on VTM? It incorporates some of the mods on this list by default(cold water ports for example) I’ve had it be an essential part of my mod list for a long time, but I’m curious if I should try a game without it.
I would say it's reasonable, it has a good feel to it, but the lack of a true global market makes it an incomplete simulation. I expect that that would eventually be addressed.
Not for me, no. It does a great total rework for players that want a more "historical" path to things, but I found it to be too railroaded for repeat enjoyment. I like the sandbox play.
I really appreciate having an economist to talk about the game. It would be like if we could bring in a feudal lord to play and analyze ck3.
Support me on Patreon so I can purchase a dukedom! :-D
Wow 65 different mods all enabled and not creating clashes with each other, that is interesting.
It's a juggling act, but by looking at the files in the mods, I'm able to work out a good load order for them.
@@An_Economist_Playssmart enough to be an economist, smart enough to have 65 working mods actually functioning😂

Subsistence farmers need to be desperate for just about anything other than subsistence farming.
@@An_Economist_Plays You can also just build empty farms and plantations to force them out.😁
@frankyan577 this will do the job without the boondoggle builds.
please keep making these.

Hail Columbia is one I use and consider to be key for my games.

@@gurufabbes1 worth considering, for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for another great list. Happy Labor Day!
Always glad to help the community! Happy Labor Day to you, as well!

Love the video and I haven’t seen the new update but still trying to learn the game
1.7 is great stuff, really like the progress the game is making.
I wish that terrain exterminator was in the base game so you can turn it on and off.
Yes, indeed!
What can we expect to see for your next playthrough? Are you willing to play a mid sized country with more backward laws similar to Mexico again?
Still thinking about it, but I am leaning towards an authoritarian role-play.
Will you do a vid about upcoming civ 7? :) Your thoughts about it? Will you try ARA: History Untold?
Definitely wanting to do Civ 7. Don't know about History Untold...
love from germany for not playing the brown empire. we had enaugh brown in our history
Indeed!

I think it uses some mods that would conflict with ones I see as essential, so I'm not doing much with VTM.
For a economist, Victoria 3 has a good economics simulation?
I would say it's reasonable, it has a good feel to it, but the lack of a true global market makes it an incomplete simulation. I expect that that would eventually be addressed.
Is there a Workshop Collection created for this list?
Sorry, no, but the playlist is kept in my Discord server.
Hey mister, looks like your discord link has expired. Could we get another one? Thanks in advance!
Give it another go, it was working for others.
no gilded age anymore?
Not for me, no. It does a great total rework for players that want a more "historical" path to things, but I found it to be too railroaded for repeat enjoyment. I like the sandbox play.
