God… that Conquer/ Liberate CB exploit blew my mind. The fact that I’ve been playing Victoria 2 for a while and I’m still learning new shit from this game is why I love it so much
@@xarxos5274 one of my favorite vanilla moments was during a Run i did on Greece/Byzantine empire. I kept Justifying wars on China, fully occupied them, Then after the peace made sure they fell to rebels. For some reason every time a new government took over, my truce with them vanished and I could go right back in to take more territory. When I figured that out, I felt like I broke the system, And would repeat it with france on my Großdeutschland run
Very well done and great editing! Glad to see more content done on this side of the game. Challenges like this make the single player side of the game more interesting.
This video is very well made and the WC is one of the most impressive thing people do in PDX games. Also I would love to see a video on warfare from you!
I’ve never even played Vic2 but this video makes me want to start learning! I’ve primarily played CK2, but the mechanics of this game look like something worth trying out!
If it looks interesting then go for it! I think Vic2 is in some ways similar to CK2 in that both are closer to historical simulations than just history-inspired video games, unlike for example EU4.
Always happy to see my exploit being used even now lul. I was a little sus of the greece run actually being legit though, I remember something not making sense to me. -Guren275
Hey Guren, good to see you! :D Of course it's impossible to say for certain if everything in the Greece run was legit, but just based on what they described it seems to me at least possible that it was. Maybe they did some save scumming or minor use of the console to make things smoother, but I don't see any reason to suspect more than tat.
Following your detailed explanation I think Italy is the one of the best option for a WC, the Garibaldi rebels let's you unify immediately and the _Italia irredenta_ gives you a bunch of cores and therefore revanchism, Italy can also get an alliance with France almost day one.
I would also like to clarify on ideologies: in fact, the worst option is a reactionary ideology. They cannot carry out reforms at all and even recall them. At least the communists promote socialism, which is better. But nevertheless, it’s still not the same, since as a result of the coup, political reforms are withdrawn, although it is these reforms that they withdraw without the coup. But this is better than the libarian and reactionary. By the way, if communists and libertarians remove the opportunity to carry out uprisings of their ideology, then reactionaries rise up under reactionaries. I would also like to add that democracy is not entirely necessary. From an absolute monarchy you can easily become a democracy, but there is no need to move forward sharply: reforms must be carried out slowly, according to a conservative strategy. All types of reforms are promoted by fascists, liberals, socialists and conservatives (reluctant ones are also taken into account), and in the end these ideologies are useful to us (and okay, half the communists too). So, at first, the only people we need are liberals and conservatives, which is available to absolute monarchies, and thus, there is no point in higher levels of monarchies yet. But when the socialists appear, 1860, it is better then, or close to this time, to roll over either into democracy, or, which, in my opinion, is better, into a constitutional monarchy of the Prussian model, and then, perhaps, into His Majesty’s government. This is better for me, since you can appoint a ruling party and choose the bonuses you need. Well, then the Democrats. But when fascists already appear, it is better to choose them, because even in a democracy, which generally reflects the demands of society and allows the adoption of necessary reforms in case of serious problems, aggressiveness is needed to accept reforms (and who knows if the libertarians will win such elections) , then the fascists can accept any reforms without aggressiveness, and even the necessary characteristics: state capitalism with protectionism? Great! Jigoism? Just what you need! Moralism does not have much influence, although it raises awareness of unaccepted religions, but they leave more often and on the one hand, there is less risk of uprisings, and on the other, there are more problems with aggressiveness, this is a double-edged sword. As for the residence, this policy allows others to start wars against you, which helps to unite the world faster, since their national corks are assimilated more slowly, but there are no less problems with uprisings, however, in my opinion, the advantages outweigh here for taking over the world. But I still wonder why democracy is better than Her Majesty’s Government?
Well, I would want to tell about the rank of ideologies. From the worst to the best: reactionism, libertarianosm, communism, conservatism (less possibility to do the reforms), liberalism (because there are leas politician reforms that social, also if you si ir after the one dictatorship), socialism and the best is fascism.
Hello there! Oh, it's been months after I saw you for the first time. However I'm still here watching you, after lots of events in my life like world tour and marriage. Started my own world conquest as a Russia btw. No pun about current situation. Just love to see my nation prospering at least in the game. Using chronology mod (russian analog for HPM) which gives you 40 more years to the gameplay (you start in 1816 and finish in 1956). At first losed some wars for educational, medical and inveromental reforms so that my population grows rapidly. And now your video will give me more tricks for my run. Thank you ;)
Hey! Yeah I recognize you, you've been around for a while, I'm glad you're still here! :) Good luck with the world conquest, that extra bit of time will probably come in handy, but if my video can provide some additional tricks then that's great! :D
@@xarxos5274 yeah. Just watched this video... Guess I should restart my conquest :)))) Because I did lots of mistakes like passing lots of reforms at the start and not caring about jingoism :D Or not. Because chronology mod has lots of updates making conquest easier like: a) It gives more optional reforms b) 40 more years c) As a Soviet Union you have event for joining every proletarian country to you one step each. Still not sure tho. Pretty ironic that Greece is more valiable for conquering the world than Russia
@@КириллТрифонов-е5ф Hm well if you have 40 more years then maybe jingoism won't be quite as necessary, hard to say, you could always give it a shot and see how close you get! Haha, yeah Russia isn't quite as viable as you might think since it's difficult to get a lot of Revanchism as them, but it's probably still possible!
Great video, around 31:20 talking on colonial points, it’s usually much easier to spam out commerce raiders, as they can be built in level 1 ports, you can build way more, more quickly, with less investment, and are only extremely slightly less efficient in supply. This should be a decision based on where you’re at when you need to start building ships
I had dismissed V2 as a fun game until you and a couple other great content creators piqued my interest in it yet again after a couple of years. I can play somewhat and have fun thanks to the tips I picked up mostly from your videos, I would still very much appreciate a proper tutorial on this game from a master such as yourself. Plus I like your style. Great job with the video, kept me watching all the through!
Thank you! And glad I could help you appreciate the game more! :) I might do some more tutorial-style content, such as a warfare guide, but I'm not sure how much beyond that I'd make, since I honestly don't consider myself to be a master on stuff like the economy or pop management.
This type of video is the highest quality you can get. Best stuff on victoria 2. Congratulations in order. Now i do not now of your plans but i'm sure many of us like this style of videos explained in the best way possible. Maybe guides of nations or something else. Just a suggestion. Then again great job one of the legends of Victoria 2
Thank you so much, I'm honored! :D Well, I've mostly been focused on speedruns and such so far, but I might consider branching out a bit. Not sure about individual country guides, but maybe more videos explaining mechanics and such could be something!
Bit of a late comment: if I’m not incorrect, rolling back reforms also (temporarily) lowers militancy, so you could theoretically, as a fascist dictatorship (or if the upper house allows for it in other circumstances) constantly flip-flop reforms and thus lower militancy
You know, I've never thought about that, but you may very well be correct. After all, passing a reform that very few people actually want still reduces militancy temporarily, so it makes sense it would work with rolling back reforms too. If so, being a Fascist Dictatorship would actually make it the most easy to manage militancy as you say!
UA-cam was basically telling me to watch this since some time ago, I finally got time to see it. My Mexican empire is now going to expand over the whole earth
Thank you, I'm very glad to hear it! I was worried it might be a bit too long and drawn out, so it's nice to know people still enjoyed it all the way through! :)
Thanks! Ironically I've barely ever completed a full game before this, maybe just one or two times, so sometimes you just gotta have a big goal to justify it :P
Vicky 2 is probably the paradox game I know the least about out of all the ones I played, including HoI 1, 2, 3 and 4, EU 4 and CK 2 and 3. But I love it anyways. It's so complex and there's something to that, especially the economy. I wish I understood more about it, so I'll watch any and all tutorials you'll make in the future. My by far most successful playthrough so far was as the Chinese empire. I ended up with all of China, japan, Indochina, Indonesia, Burma and India as well as some other land here and there. I led a bunch of great wars against the UK and won them all, together with my allies, the USA and Germany. Here's an idea that I haven't tested. Start as Chinese empire, get rebels, lose your vassal states, release and play as the central Chinese releasable nation with Beifaren as main culture, conquer all the now independent states and the empire itself and play a unified China with Beifaren not as tolerated but as main culture. I think that sounds pretty strong.
Vicky is probably the game with the most complex underlying mechanics as well as one of the least intuitive UI's, so it's understandable that it would be the one you understand the least! Congratz on your China playthrough! And sure, that alternative China campaign idea you have could be interesting! Is the releasable Chinese nation you're thinking of Shanxi?
@@xarxos5274 yeah it's definitely the hardest to learn. Thanks. And yeah I was thinking about Shanxi. I assume your primary culture pop gives you better bonuses than your accepted culture pops, so China with all Beifaren as primary culture should be way more powerful than the Chinese empire, which has Manchu as primary, which is tiny and insignificant, and Beifaren only as accepted.
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 Hm I'm actually not sure what the difference is between primary and accepted pops in terms of bonuses or penalties. There's probably some difference, but I'm not sure if it's a very big difference. Regardless, it could be an interesting challenge in itself!
Russia can to make revanchism too: 1) Poland will want to separate from Russia 2) Russia can to provocate the separatists gain independence in Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and so on. And by the way, Russia can to conquest Japan, China and others asian countries before the modernisation. And Russia have the most big quality of provinces in the game, but all is its cores. But I don't know if Russia can to conquest te territories very fast.
Russia can get some revanchism if they manage to provoke separatists everywhere possible, but it's actually not that much even if they lose to all their separatists. I've tried it out and if I recall correctly I still think they had less than 10% revanchism. Russia is just so big that it's hard for them to get a lot of it unfortunately. But it's a big advantage that if you're playing Russia you don't have to conquer Russia, so that fact alone might make them more viable.
@@xarxos5274 well yep, but Russia ave 269 provinesand it is the biggest in the game, but it isn´t absolutely great, because the UK have 261 and it have to do it only in Ireland and Scotland. But Germany maximum can take only 206
@@xarxos5274 by the way, what do you think about the question: what country is the best for the worldconquest (that can permit to conquer the world more fast)? I think, the UK. And you?
@@ГеоргийИлларионов-я5х The UK is probably a good candidate. They've got a lot going for them, since they're already very powerful at the start and own a lot of territory all over the world. Germany is a candidate too, but they're probably not quite as fast since the start is a bit slower. Other than that maybe USA is an option, but their start is even weaker than the others so perhaps not.
@@xarxos5274 I saw that he USA have 169 provinces (more o less), Germany 208, and the UK 261, but without Ireland and Scotland 237. That's why I think, the UK is the best.
On the colonization section - it’s probably known to most, but bears restating: only SOME ships boost colonial power. Monitors, Cruisers, and frigates do NOT help.
What are you talking about? The only ship types that don't boost colonial power at all are transports, every other ship gives at least some power. The table I show for colonial power from ships at 31:00 in the video is correct.
That's an option as well! But yeah starting pop would be extremely low, although you'd be eligible to get lots of immigration so you might be able to grow relatively quickly.
I've never even played past the 1870s since I play multiplayer only and vicky gets unstable, but pulling out that liberation conquest exploit will be fun
First of all: That's like sooo impressive, I wish I was this good at the game. Secondly: You mentioned one world Conquest was done as GB. How does one habe enough jingoism without any revanchism? Or ist there a way to get revanchism as any country?
Thank you! With enough experience and dedication you can probably pull something like this off as well, but it might take a while :) As for how to get revanchism as the UK: I actually explain that at 8:34 in the video. You just let Irish separatists gain independence, since that preserves your cores on their territory. You can then also release Scotland to eliminate some more cores and increase revanchism further. In general, most countries can gain revanchism by losing core territories to separatist rebels, or by intentionally losing a war and letting other countries conquer stuff from you. But for some it's a lot easier than for others. The only countries that can't get revanchism are those that only have one state, since then they can't lose any territory without being fully annexed.
@@xarxos5274 Oh right, Thank you! I have one more question though, if you have time to answer: During your WC campaign your were disappointed when Italy formed, because you mentioned a trick to conquer all of it at once if it didnt. how would that work?
@@iggitteggitt3187 Oh yeah, well you can do a trick with Italy which is very similar to the Liberation-Conquest exploit: First you reduce Sardinia-Piedmont down to one state, then you declare a Conquest war on them while Garibaldi rebels are occupying another Italian country. Once those rebels enforce their demands, Sardinia-Piedmont will form Italy and most likely integrate all other Italian countries, and then you can enforce your Conquest war goal and annex the whole of Italy. But if Italy forms too soon then you can't do it, which is what happened for me. In theory you could also do something similar for other countries that can form through rebels, such as India, Germany (if you're not playing as them) or Arabia, but it's much trickier because only great powers can form those nations through rebels but it's hard to get a Conquest war goal on a great power. Italy is a lot easier because Sardinia-Piedmont doesn't have to be a great power to form Italy.
I've put well over a thousand hours in victoria 2, it's my favorite paradox game. I think it's incredible that anyone has managed to do a world conquest in a game with so many factors that slow down potential conquest. What a shame it gets overshadowed like mediocre games like HOI4.
@@xarxos5274 The speedrun concept is one I hadn't seen before in Victoria II. very interesting Slayzer-esque strategies! Your editing is really good. What did you use to make the video? I had started working on Zero to Hero 8 back in October but put it on hold for real life reasons. I should probably direct people to your videos instead
@@Gakumerasara Yeah it's not the type of game you usually associate with speedrunning, but it works :) Thank you! I use Adobe Premiere Elements for the video editing, and Paint.net for the images. Oh cool! I've seen parts of those videos, they're really some of the most thorough tutorial videos for this game I've ever seen, big respect for all the work you must put into them!
Hello the vid pretty good and as someone who doesnt know about the game as much as you I like to see more videos about vic 2 guides (how to chrush ai,build a strong economy pass reforms etc. and can you do these guides in hfm or hpm since nobody plays vanilla)
Hello, and thank you, I'm glad you like the video! I don't expect I'll make too many straight guide videos since it's not really my thing, but I might touch upon different stuff in speedrun explanation videos and such. And I'm afraid I'll primarily focus on vanilla, because vanilla is the version I play and I've barely played HPM or HFM myself. Besides, plenty of people still play vanilla, saying that "nobody" does is a bit exaggerated :)
don't really got anything anything to say other than that this is a very well put-together video! I've always been interested in the mechanics of games (and also when said mechanics break) and this video seemed to get that niche just right for me. just curious, how long did this take to make?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I really enjoy this style of videos as well, so that's why I wanted to make my own :) As for how long it took: I'm not sure exactly, but probably something like 150-200 hours of active working time, mostly spread out over a 2-month period.
It might be doable, but it's a bit tricky to get revanchism as Spain. You'd probably have to intentionally lose a few wars to get others to conquer your cores from you, which might get you some.
@@xarxos5274 In my previous run I tried to grab Sicily only for France to intervene, I'm sure I can use that to my advantage if played correctly. Specifically aiming to take Sicily while simultaneously lose say Catalonia to France.
I'm not good enough for a world conquest but now I finally now how to keep revanchism high. I would always struggle because I took national imperialism and wanted to go socialist democracy. Thx for the info
Nice! I can imagine a lot of people might never attempt an actual world conquest, but there's probably quite a few things in this video that could be useful nonetheless.
Unfortunately I don't, I have issues with that myself. You can try lowering graphics settings but that doesn't help too much. In the end the only thing you can do to speed things up is to get a faster processor for your computer, I think.
in 2014 i did one as the uk & prusia / super germany --- i did save scum (infamy ,battle roles & election events )tough ------ and in 2016 i did one as (grand) columbia
Oh really? That's cool! And you did it with both expansions too? Did you document it at all? If you have some kind of proof I'd say you deserve some recognition!
@@xarxos5274 it was version 3.03 (3.04 patch came out in 2015(beta)/2016) with both dlc ---- sadly i don´t have evidence , my hard drive dyed ~2020 --- i just remember that during my game the crimean ocupation happend irl during the german run --- the uk & columbia one might have been a bit later(2015-16)
This exploit (release nation as a single state --> wage war on it with Conquest CB --> release more states of that nation --> conquer whole released nation) is not exactly realistic, so do you think it will still be in Victoria III?
It's definitely not realistic, that's why it's an exploit :) Do you mean if I think it will be in Victoria 3? If so, no idea, they seem to overhaul the warfare system so much in general, that it will be hard to predict how stuff like this would work!
I think I had a bit of problems with that in the early parts of the run, but by and large you can avoid a lot of war exhaustion if you play things carefully and always try to hold the initiative in any war you fight, so you don't get occupied too much. It also gets easier the further into the run you get, because I believe war exhaustion from occupations depends on the proportion of your provinces that are occupied, so the more total territory you have the less war exhaustion you'll get from the same number of occupied provinces. But if it starts to become too much of a problem you can just stay at peace for a time every now and then, you can usually cram in some periods of peace between wars without losing time since you have to wait for war justifications/diplo points anyway.
Great Video. I'm trying to have a whole world conquest mod as the Philippines and Its hard. I very much love my country thats why I want to do it. Any tips?
Yeah Philippines are a tricky one! If you declare war on someone else and try to intentionally lose, then maybe they'll take one of your states so you get revanchism?
I have a question unrelated to word conquest. It is posible to assimilate like 5/ 10 porcent of a non aceptes culture if you play as an European state ? I could never achieve it without cheats or mods Edit: thanks for the info about revanchismo I have like 800 hours and never understand that specific concept jeje
I'm not an expert on assimilation mechanics, but overall assimilation is greatly reduced for cultures that have cores on the province they live in. So for example it's very difficult to assimilate Polish pops as Prussia since Poland has cores on those provinces, but if Polish pops emigrate to the New World then they tend to assimilate quickly because they have no cores there. That's one of the reasons why assimilation in Europe happens more slowly than in the New World.
I did forget about them, yeah. I never had any issues with Reactionary rebels during my run and I don't think it's very likely overall. But if they appeared they would be as bad as Bourgeois Dictatorships essentially, except for having better policies.
25000 is the maximum amount for uncivs. It works differently for them since they use research points in a fundamentally different way from civilized countries. For civilized countries the max you can store is always 1 year's worth of points.
Great video, thank you! I got one question though: Is there any way, how to fight the "Pro Military" ideology? It usually happens to me, that up to 40 % of the people have "Pro Military" as their dominant issue. Which means, that the jingoism increases in a much slower way. Is there any solution? Thank you very much
Thank you! Unfortunately it's hard to avoid getting a lot of Pro Military if you also want Jingoism, since they both increase from much of the same factors. The big key difference is Revanchism, which increases Jingoism but not Pro Military. So like always, my best suggestion would be to just try to get as much Revanchism as possible.
@@xarxos5274 yeah, those peace deals are great for map painting, plus HRE, tho I think Paradox will be changing the HRE so better do that before they change it lmao
As I stated in the beginning of the video, some of the things I talk about might be applicable to mods, but overall doing a world conquest in major mods such as HPM or HFM would probably be very different. So no, not really, I'm afraid!
So what's Paradox going to do to stomp this one out now? Because as far as I know, Paradox always seems to have a bit of contempt for players who have the goal of world conquest...
Hm I'm not sure if I agree with that, Paradox has made world conquests very possible in most of their games, sometimes even encouraging it with achievements. Either way, I highly doubt they'll release anymore updates for Vic2 at this point.
That's a good question. I think a world conquest is theretically possible for most countries, but the most important thing is that you need a reliable way to get revanchism. Countries that only have cores on a single state and have no way of getting more cores besides the generic coring event, are going to have a very difficult time getting revanchism and might therefore not be able to WC within the time frame of the game. Any country that can get revanchism should be possible, although if they start out very weak then it might be difficult in practice.
@@bcgames4430 Almost impossible. If you're fine with save scumming you could maybe cheese elections by running elections constantly and reloading every time you don't get the Jingoism event, which could compensate for the lack of revanchism. But it would be extremely tedious and without save scumming it's doubtful you could ever get enough jingoism that way. There is maybe one other way actually, which is if you play a country that can do the infinite infamy reduction exploit (for example Krakow), because then you might be able to keep your infamy below the limit for the entire game, which would enable you to make use of great wars and world wars in the late game, which in turn might allow you conquer things fast enough to make it. But I haven't attempted that in practice so I'm not sure how viable it would actually be, and either way it would only be possible for a small handful of nations.
What makes you say that? I've literally done a world conquest myself, and the game didn't crash when there were fewer than 8 nations. Why would you think that?
@@xarxos5274 because that does happen to me on vanilla if i took over so many countries unless there are 8 nations with atleast 2 states left, once i went under this the game would instant crash, that also happened in the mod im making & when i talked to people on many discord to fix this & they said the same thing, the game would crash if there isn't enough nations to be gps, & they told me i had to use a mod that had placeholders to avoid this problem, also i saw on a few clips in this video that there was a graphic mod being used
@@Thunder103093 Hm well maybe it happens to some people, the game does become less stable in general near the end. But it's definitely not a guarantee, as both I and at least two other people have managed to do world conquests. And what are you talking about, "graphics mod"? I wasn't using any mods at all. What clips in the video are you referring to?
@@xarxos5274 at 1:20 & other parts i haven't found their time stamp yet, the water is different & i only seen that water on graphic mods, there was another clip somewhere on the video where the land looked like from a mod a buddy made & he used a graphic mod for that too
@@Thunder103093 That's not a graphics mod, that's just lowered graphics settings in the base game. I think it's called "advanced water" IIRC. I lowered my graphics settings toward the late game in a (mostly futile) attempt to reduce lag.

Following your detailed explanation I think Italy is the one of the best option for a WC, the Garibaldi rebels let's you unify immediately and the _Italia irredenta_ gives you a bunch of cores and therefore revanchism, Italy can also get an alliance with France almost day one.

But I still wonder why democracy is better than Her Majesty’s Government?
Well, I would want to tell about the rank of ideologies. From the worst to the best: reactionism, libertarianosm, communism, conservatism (less possibility to do the reforms), liberalism (because there are leas politician reforms that social, also if you si ir after the one dictatorship), socialism and the best is fascism.
Your channel is exactly the kind of Vic2 content that I was looking for, you've gained a new sub. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I'm glad to be able to provide the content you're looking for :)
Hello there! Oh, it's been months after I saw you for the first time. However I'm still here watching you, after lots of events in my life like world tour and marriage.
Started my own world conquest as a Russia btw. No pun about current situation. Just love to see my nation prospering at least in the game. Using chronology mod (russian analog for HPM) which gives you 40 more years to the gameplay (you start in 1816 and finish in 1956). At first losed some wars for educational, medical and inveromental reforms so that my population grows rapidly. And now your video will give me more tricks for my run. Thank you ;)
Hey! Yeah I recognize you, you've been around for a while, I'm glad you're still here! :) Good luck with the world conquest, that extra bit of time will probably come in handy, but if my video can provide some additional tricks then that's great! :D
@@xarxos5274 yeah. Just watched this video... Guess I should restart my conquest :)))) Because I did lots of mistakes like passing lots of reforms at the start and not caring about jingoism :D
Or not. Because chronology mod has lots of updates making conquest easier like:
a) It gives more optional reforms
b) 40 more years
c) As a Soviet Union you have event for joining every proletarian country to you one step each.
Still not sure tho. Pretty ironic that Greece is more valiable for conquering the world than Russia
@@КириллТрифонов-е5ф Hm well if you have 40 more years then maybe jingoism won't be quite as necessary, hard to say, you could always give it a shot and see how close you get!
Haha, yeah Russia isn't quite as viable as you might think since it's difficult to get a lot of Revanchism as them, but it's probably still possible!
The time and effort you put into the animated effects is really appreciated!
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that! It's quite a lot of effort but I enjoy making them, so it's nice that they're appreciated! :D
Great video, around 31:20 talking on colonial points, it’s usually much easier to spam out commerce raiders, as they can be built in level 1 ports, you can build way more, more quickly, with less investment, and are only extremely slightly less efficient in supply. This should be a decision based on where you’re at when you need to start building ships
That's a fair point, it probably varies by your situation what kind of ships are the best to spam for colonial points.
I had dismissed V2 as a fun game until you and a couple other great content creators piqued my interest in it yet again after a couple of years. I can play somewhat and have fun thanks to the tips I picked up mostly from your videos, I would still very much appreciate a proper tutorial on this game from a master such as yourself. Plus I like your style. Great job with the video, kept me watching all the through!
Thank you! And glad I could help you appreciate the game more! :) I might do some more tutorial-style content, such as a warfare guide, but I'm not sure how much beyond that I'd make, since I honestly don't consider myself to be a master on stuff like the economy or pop management.
This type of video is the highest quality you can get. Best stuff on victoria 2. Congratulations in order.
Now i do not now of your plans but i'm sure many of us like this style of videos explained in the best way possible. Maybe guides of nations or something else. Just a suggestion. Then again great job one of the legends of Victoria 2
Thank you so much, I'm honored! :D
Well, I've mostly been focused on speedruns and such so far, but I might consider branching out a bit. Not sure about individual country guides, but maybe more videos explaining mechanics and such could be something!
Bit of a late comment: if I’m not incorrect, rolling back reforms also (temporarily) lowers militancy, so you could theoretically, as a fascist dictatorship (or if the upper house allows for it in other circumstances) constantly flip-flop reforms and thus lower militancy
You know, I've never thought about that, but you may very well be correct. After all, passing a reform that very few people actually want still reduces militancy temporarily, so it makes sense it would work with rolling back reforms too. If so, being a Fascist Dictatorship would actually make it the most easy to manage militancy as you say!
So satisfying to hear "Violet and Death" at the end of the video!
Thank you, that makes me happy! :D
That's a top-quality right here! Very nice job!

Thanks! Ironically I've barely ever completed a full game before this, maybe just one or two times, so sometimes you just gotta have a big goal to justify it :P
Vicky 2 is probably the paradox game I know the least about out of all the ones I played, including HoI 1, 2, 3 and 4, EU 4 and CK 2 and 3. But I love it anyways. It's so complex and there's something to that, especially the economy. I wish I understood more about it, so I'll watch any and all tutorials you'll make in the future. My by far most successful playthrough so far was as the Chinese empire. I ended up with all of China, japan, Indochina, Indonesia, Burma and India as well as some other land here and there. I led a bunch of great wars against the UK and won them all, together with my allies, the USA and Germany.
Here's an idea that I haven't tested. Start as Chinese empire, get rebels, lose your vassal states, release and play as the central Chinese releasable nation with Beifaren as main culture, conquer all the now independent states and the empire itself and play a unified China with Beifaren not as tolerated but as main culture. I think that sounds pretty strong.
Vicky is probably the game with the most complex underlying mechanics as well as one of the least intuitive UI's, so it's understandable that it would be the one you understand the least!
Congratz on your China playthrough! And sure, that alternative China campaign idea you have could be interesting! Is the releasable Chinese nation you're thinking of Shanxi?
@@xarxos5274 yeah it's definitely the hardest to learn.
Thanks. And yeah I was thinking about Shanxi. I assume your primary culture pop gives you better bonuses than your accepted culture pops, so China with all Beifaren as primary culture should be way more powerful than the Chinese empire, which has Manchu as primary, which is tiny and insignificant, and Beifaren only as accepted.
@@thatoneguynextdoor8794 Hm I'm actually not sure what the difference is between primary and accepted pops in terms of bonuses or penalties. There's probably some difference, but I'm not sure if it's a very big difference. Regardless, it could be an interesting challenge in itself!
Can’t wait for this vid to have 100k views in a year. Glad to come across this gem so early!
Well let's hope it can get there eventually! :D Thank you very much!

Thank you! I'll consider it then :)
Russia can to make revanchism too: 1) Poland will want to separate from Russia 2) Russia can to provocate the separatists gain independence in Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and so on. And by the way, Russia can to conquest Japan, China and others asian countries before the modernisation. And Russia have the most big quality of provinces in the game, but all is its cores. But I don't know if Russia can to conquest te territories very fast.
Russia can get some revanchism if they manage to provoke separatists everywhere possible, but it's actually not that much even if they lose to all their separatists. I've tried it out and if I recall correctly I still think they had less than 10% revanchism. Russia is just so big that it's hard for them to get a lot of it unfortunately. But it's a big advantage that if you're playing Russia you don't have to conquer Russia, so that fact alone might make them more viable.
@@xarxos5274 well yep, but Russia ave 269 provinesand it is the biggest in the game, but it isn´t absolutely great, because the UK have 261 and it have to do it only in Ireland and Scotland. But Germany maximum can take only 206
@@xarxos5274 by the way, what do you think about the question: what country is the best for the worldconquest (that can permit to conquer the world more fast)? I think, the UK. And you?
@@ГеоргийИлларионов-я5х The UK is probably a good candidate. They've got a lot going for them, since they're already very powerful at the start and own a lot of territory all over the world. Germany is a candidate too, but they're probably not quite as fast since the start is a bit slower. Other than that maybe USA is an option, but their start is even weaker than the others so perhaps not.
@@xarxos5274 I saw that he USA have 169 provinces (more o less), Germany 208, and the UK 261, but without Ireland and Scotland 237. That's why I think, the UK is the best.

Very well put together video :D
Thank you! :D
6:34 wait a minute, this seems familiar
I can't imagine why! :O
On the colonization section - it’s probably known to most, but bears restating: only SOME ships boost colonial power. Monitors, Cruisers, and frigates do NOT help.
What are you talking about? The only ship types that don't boost colonial power at all are transports, every other ship gives at least some power. The table I show for colonial power from ships at 31:00 in the video is correct.
Who knew there was the possibility for a vic2 - stellaris playthrough
Anything is possible!
Great video man
Canada, released from the US in Bangor will also very high revanchism. Maybe viable but starting pop is very low.
That's an option as well! But yeah starting pop would be extremely low, although you'd be eligible to get lots of immigration so you might be able to grow relatively quickly.
Excellent quality
Thank you! :)
I've never even played past the 1870s since I play multiplayer only and vicky gets unstable, but pulling out that liberation conquest exploit will be fun

This is a very well made video
Thank you! :)
You’re insane for this
Yes!
@@xarxos5274 I have close to 10k hours and you make me look like a noob
@@Peanutbutterfella I appreciate the compliment, though there are still parts of this game where I'm closer to a noob as well!
First of all: That's like sooo impressive, I wish I was this good at the game. Secondly: You mentioned one world Conquest was done as GB. How does one habe enough jingoism without any revanchism? Or ist there a way to get revanchism as any country?
Thank you! With enough experience and dedication you can probably pull something like this off as well, but it might take a while :) As for how to get revanchism as the UK: I actually explain that at 8:34 in the video. You just let Irish separatists gain independence, since that preserves your cores on their territory. You can then also release Scotland to eliminate some more cores and increase revanchism further. In general, most countries can gain revanchism by losing core territories to separatist rebels, or by intentionally losing a war and letting other countries conquer stuff from you. But for some it's a lot easier than for others. The only countries that can't get revanchism are those that only have one state, since then they can't lose any territory without being fully annexed.
@@xarxos5274 Oh right, Thank you! I have one more question though, if you have time to answer: During your WC campaign your were disappointed when Italy formed, because you mentioned a trick to conquer all of it at once if it didnt. how would that work?
@@iggitteggitt3187 Oh yeah, well you can do a trick with Italy which is very similar to the Liberation-Conquest exploit: First you reduce Sardinia-Piedmont down to one state, then you declare a Conquest war on them while Garibaldi rebels are occupying another Italian country. Once those rebels enforce their demands, Sardinia-Piedmont will form Italy and most likely integrate all other Italian countries, and then you can enforce your Conquest war goal and annex the whole of Italy. But if Italy forms too soon then you can't do it, which is what happened for me.
In theory you could also do something similar for other countries that can form through rebels, such as India, Germany (if you're not playing as them) or Arabia, but it's much trickier because only great powers can form those nations through rebels but it's hard to get a Conquest war goal on a great power. Italy is a lot easier because Sardinia-Piedmont doesn't have to be a great power to form Italy.
Congrats on finishing your magnum opus
Thanks, it truly is that! :D

Hello the vid pretty good and as someone who doesnt know about the game as much as you I like to see more videos about vic 2 guides (how to chrush ai,build a strong economy pass reforms etc. and can you do these guides in hfm or hpm since nobody plays vanilla)
Hello, and thank you, I'm glad you like the video! I don't expect I'll make too many straight guide videos since it's not really my thing, but I might touch upon different stuff in speedrun explanation videos and such. And I'm afraid I'll primarily focus on vanilla, because vanilla is the version I play and I've barely played HPM or HFM myself. Besides, plenty of people still play vanilla, saying that "nobody" does is a bit exaggerated :)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I really enjoy this style of videos as well, so that's why I wanted to make my own :)

I've been doing a Spain campaign recently and now I'm wondering if I can pull off a world conquest as Spain.
It might be doable, but it's a bit tricky to get revanchism as Spain. You'd probably have to intentionally lose a few wars to get others to conquer your cores from you, which might get you some.

@@baronbrummbar8691 Okay, that's a shame! Well congratz anyway! :)
This exploit (release nation as a single state --> wage war on it with Conquest CB --> release more states of that nation --> conquer whole released nation) is not exactly realistic, so do you think it will still be in Victoria III?
It's definitely not realistic, that's why it's an exploit :) Do you mean if I think it will be in Victoria 3? If so, no idea, they seem to overhaul the warfare system so much in general, that it will be hard to predict how stuff like this would work!
i find this really useful, but i still have a question: how did you deal with war exhaustion decreasing cb generation speed?
I think I had a bit of problems with that in the early parts of the run, but by and large you can avoid a lot of war exhaustion if you play things carefully and always try to hold the initiative in any war you fight, so you don't get occupied too much. It also gets easier the further into the run you get, because I believe war exhaustion from occupations depends on the proportion of your provinces that are occupied, so the more total territory you have the less war exhaustion you'll get from the same number of occupied provinces.
But if it starts to become too much of a problem you can just stay at peace for a time every now and then, you can usually cram in some periods of peace between wars without losing time since you have to wait for war justifications/diplo points anyway.

Great Video. I'm trying to have a whole world conquest mod as the Philippines and Its hard. I very much love my country thats why I want to do it. Any tips?
Yeah Philippines are a tricky one! If you declare war on someone else and try to intentionally lose, then maybe they'll take one of your states so you get revanchism?
nice
I have a question unrelated to word conquest. It is posible to assimilate like 5/ 10 porcent of a non aceptes culture if you play as an European state ? I could never achieve it without cheats or mods
Edit: thanks for the info about revanchismo I have like 800 hours and never understand that specific concept jeje
I'm not an expert on assimilation mechanics, but overall assimilation is greatly reduced for cultures that have cores on the province they live in. So for example it's very difficult to assimilate Polish pops as Prussia since Poland has cores on those provinces, but if Polish pops emigrate to the New World then they tend to assimilate quickly because they have no cores there. That's one of the reasons why assimilation in Europe happens more slowly than in the New World.
@@xarxos5274 thanks !
STEP 1: Pick Prussia
STEP 2: Win
But if you then want to go on to literally conquer the whole world, there are a few more steps to go :)
btw did you forget about presidential dictatorship .... or are they in you opinion better then burgeose /proleterian dictatorships
I did forget about them, yeah. I never had any issues with Reactionary rebels during my run and I don't think it's very likely overall. But if they appeared they would be as bad as Bourgeois Dictatorships essentially, except for having better policies.

@@xarxos5274 Good to know, thanks.
Great video, thank you!
I got one question though: Is there any way, how to fight the "Pro Military" ideology? It usually happens to me, that up to 40 % of the people have "Pro Military" as their dominant issue. Which means, that the jingoism increases in a much slower way. Is there any solution? Thank you very much
Thank you! Unfortunately it's hard to avoid getting a lot of Pro Military if you also want Jingoism, since they both increase from much of the same factors. The big key difference is Revanchism, which increases Jingoism but not Pro Military. So like always, my best suggestion would be to just try to get as much Revanchism as possible.

Does this guide work in HPM/HFM?
As I stated in the beginning of the video, some of the things I talk about might be applicable to mods, but overall doing a world conquest in major mods such as HPM or HFM would probably be very different. So no, not really, I'm afraid!
"58 minutes" *dear God here we go...*

So what's Paradox going to do to stomp this one out now? Because as far as I know, Paradox always seems to have a bit of contempt for players who have the goal of world conquest...
Hm I'm not sure if I agree with that, Paradox has made world conquests very possible in most of their games, sometimes even encouraging it with achievements. Either way, I highly doubt they'll release anymore updates for Vic2 at this point.
Waiting
Nice! :D
what
Could this theoretically work for any country?
That's a good question. I think a world conquest is theretically possible for most countries, but the most important thing is that you need a reliable way to get revanchism. Countries that only have cores on a single state and have no way of getting more cores besides the generic coring event, are going to have a very difficult time getting revanchism and might therefore not be able to WC within the time frame of the game. Any country that can get revanchism should be possible, although if they start out very weak then it might be difficult in practice.
@@xarxos5274 Without revanchism how harder do you think a world conquest would be?
@@bcgames4430 Almost impossible. If you're fine with save scumming you could maybe cheese elections by running elections constantly and reloading every time you don't get the Jingoism event, which could compensate for the lack of revanchism. But it would be extremely tedious and without save scumming it's doubtful you could ever get enough jingoism that way.
There is maybe one other way actually, which is if you play a country that can do the infinite infamy reduction exploit (for example Krakow), because then you might be able to keep your infamy below the limit for the entire game, which would enable you to make use of great wars and world wars in the late game, which in turn might allow you conquer things fast enough to make it. But I haven't attempted that in practice so I'm not sure how viable it would actually be, and either way it would only be possible for a small handful of nations.
That’s interesting so jingoism or revanchism is really is that important if you want a world conquest to work.
@@bcgames4430 Yeah, it's the key to making it work pretty much. You simply can't conquer the larger countries fast enough otherwise.

Hi
Hello!
you can't do this unless you have a mod, if you do it on vanilla, the game will crash unless there are 8 nations with 2 states to be great powers.
What makes you say that? I've literally done a world conquest myself, and the game didn't crash when there were fewer than 8 nations. Why would you think that?
@@xarxos5274 because that does happen to me on vanilla if i took over so many countries unless there are 8 nations with atleast 2 states left, once i went under this the game would instant crash, that also happened in the mod im making & when i talked to people on many discord to fix this & they said the same thing, the game would crash if there isn't enough nations to be gps, & they told me i had to use a mod that had placeholders to avoid this problem, also i saw on a few clips in this video that there was a graphic mod being used
@@Thunder103093 Hm well maybe it happens to some people, the game does become less stable in general near the end. But it's definitely not a guarantee, as both I and at least two other people have managed to do world conquests.
