- Victoria 3 opium is one of those goods that can only be produced in a handful of provinces. Well, Victoria 3 afghanistan is one of those nations that can mass produce this product. Today, we don't need a victoria 3 guide to become the #1 opium producer worldwide. As this has huge health consequences, we get Qing addictied to Opium, as well as Russia and Great Britain.

the complete silence and reloads made me feel very threatened and as if my life was in active danger
What did He do there? I didn't understand.
@@omayaki5264 same
@@omayaki5264 he lost khavi as a vassal and was reloading to see if there was a way to keep them together i think
Jesse we need to control the world drug trade
But Mistuh White, the Chinese are dying
At least opium is less harmfull than modernday hard drugs its basically smoking but more harmfull and addicting
@@llamaboioflusatia Jesse, does it look like I care? No. The only thing I care about is opium.
@@GwainSagaFanChannel it’s just as addicting, but you can make more money if you refine into heroin and painkillers
@@burtreynolds8030 not all painkillers are opioids.. you could have just said opioids instead.
Laith showing him tag switching to force his peace is the embodiment on how horrible this intervention mechanic is
I love the game but I agree, nations intervene so much. It makes sense if their interests are at heart, but nobody would have cared about Belgium conquering Dahomey or whatever, France wouldn’t have dropped everything to save Dahomey for an obligation.
Yeah its so stupid sometimes. I am playing as Aceh to form Indonesia, and when trying to conquer my neighbour, Portugal decides to defend a OPM for an obligation which they can gain nothing useful from it
Or Spain trying to make me a dominion but in their two landings they lost then they didnt bother, so I had to tag switch to end the war in white peace otherwise it wouldn't have ended
Imagine being a russian fighting the british in west africa over an afghani claim in india
That sounds vaguely familiar, like the time Germany fought Russia and France because a Serbian shot an Austrian
and you are doing just to make opium addiction more affordable for your family!
@@Alex-hd9ef which happened because of monarchy
IDEA: Play as Persia and monopolize the entire gun market, so every time someone goes to war, you make a profit.
I did a similar run as Vietnam a couple days ago. You start with 1 province capable of producing opium and there's several more around you. I was a bit stupid and went to war with China for more opium production territory which made them embargo me so I lost my primary market. If you just keep going south you can keep Qing friendly and keep 'em high :D
Treaty port stops them from embargoing you and maked them unable to tariff your exports
@@Ivandrov Yes, but just sending it over the border with another war was in hindsight probably a lot easier.
@@Cohac Sure, afterwards. But, next time you go to war with your trade partner, and you want to continue trade for the forseeable future, then you take a treaty port. Everything else can be eventually reversed diplomatically, whereas a treaty port needs to be warred over.
Heavenly kingdom either taking 90% of your population or 5% at complete random (Ah yes, 400 infamy for taking back your lands) is truly top tier paradox sand-boxing.
Wait, you get infamy for retaking the heavenly kingdom?
@@liamcassidy5992 yeah but you're Qing just ignore it and kill everyone
Man this season of breaking bad is wild
Hmm yes did you know the new season of better call saul
you should continue this and try to get the world addicted to opium
Play as Kazakh and become the largest exporter of Potassium
And have an alliance named Kazakh-Potassium-Klub
@@batughanuzun alternatively if you find that to be a mouthful, then just use the abbreviated version K-K-K
And make it greatest country in the world because all other counties are run by little girls
Can Kazakhstan have banana plantations?
I played Afghanistan as soon as Vicki3 was released. Selling opium round the world and drugging Qing is pretty damn hilarious ngl
When I did this I became a Russian protectorate so I could access there market. It was going well until I decided to go independent and my economy crashed.
@@alinaqi9862 I'm like 200m GDP in 1870 or smtng
For those that don't know, Dust (Dost) mohammad at 2:41 was the general who later became the Regeant King, and then the King of the resurgent Afghani Kingdom. He single-handedly united the former core Afghan-Durrani empire territories and secured Afghanistan proper. The elders who elected him as regeant gave up on ousting him because of his modernization and reformist policies that rapidly militarized and modernized Afghanistan. He then went onto kick the Brits' teeth in, helped free Afghanistan from British occupation, and unite Afghanistan by finally conquering Herat where he declared war on Persia. Basically, the current Afghanistan came to be known as Afghanistan during his reign (minus the Sharia laws). Not quite as awesome as Ahmad Shah Durrani, but a badass nonetheless! Caspian Report has a great 3-part series on the Graveyard of Empires, highly recommend watching it!
Someone call the constabulary!
you can pause construction centers in the budget menu instead of destroying them, it keeps them idle so you don't have to rebuild them later. Hope this helps
how do you pause individual ones, I could only find how to pause them all at once?
@@dbpeel You can't
Finland challenge:
1. Become the number 1 producer of paper
2. Move on to become the number 1 producer of telephones as the monopolized indestructible Nokia empire
Optional 3. Become the "Happiest country in the world" by having the highest living standard in the world and as few radicals as possible
Alt title: Laith breaks bad
I'd love to see a Persia or Egypt campaign
An Egypt campaign into Arabia is really fun
Game changing information was when playing France that Eastern/Western mali states had opium. Became number 1 producer with two meh provinces since i maxed them. Also won every way since i rushed field hospitals and was the only one who could use em due to supply, and liberating east india company away from GB.
Please continue this campaign, I wanna see the entire world consuming lots of opium
Playing a minor country in Victoria 3 is the equivalent of debt-spiraling in eu4.
Depends on certain things^^
The graveyard of empire’s Treasuries
Heisenberg in afghanistan
I hate your profile picture
@@TheSocialStreamers average light mode user L
"We also need a port" said in 1865 literally broke my heart. How could you manage to stay landlocked for SO LONG?
yeah, considering how small and weak Makran is I thought that'd be one of the first things he'd do
"Don't get high on your own supply." -Afghanistan, 1865
I love the sounds from Victoria 3, so satisfying
Play as Lanfang, reach 20 SoL by 1840 and have every Chinese person immigrate to you. Overpopulation mod is recommended
So much fun
France dominated in my (USA) game too....untill they broke apart into 3 different countries without them even losing any war. This game has some great alternative history haha.
I've never had this many loyalist in my country before, probably because I haven't enacted any laws. Relatable.
I'd love to see a campaign as the Zulu and make them a major power or something!
Form a south american nation in eu4 like brazil or colombia and CONQUER
I gotta say I cringed the whole time he went to war with literally everybody but Makran to get those ports ;-;
yes and the serfdom on 0% instead of canceling it and trying again in 12 months... oof
you definitely have the most entertaining themes for your vicky 3 vids
i really liked the mexico run so it would be cool to see that but if not a gran colombia or cuba run would be cool
Laith is joining the war on drugs...
on the side of drugs!
I want to see you play Brazil. Some provinces have +20% bonus to mining and amazon rainforest provides +25% to hard wood output. Also Brazil is close to New Granada (1 country in between) from wich you can take the Panama Canal before USA. You then have options to take Central America or South America (or both).
It's really late game stuff due to how oil is used, but Getting *most* of the world's oil production to be in your market and not really selling outside of that market.
Hi, i like painting maps with blood crayon
pro tipp for laws: get your armed forces in instead of rural folk, enact army, police and internal stuff so the landowners are less powerful and then abolish serfdom... also: higher legitimacy and EXCESS AUTHORITY reduce enactment time for laws................ dont spend it all on roads. additionally: a customs union is bad because russia gets opium... for free
Laith sat down one day and thought: “I suck in GTA, but I love gang warfare. Let’s bring it to Vicky so I can do it.” Mate xD
"Flag on the play" Laith has been watching American football hasn't he.
Very entertaining and glad to hear I am not the only one who has the French take over the world every game.
I mean you have to try and take over ther mediterranian as tunis .... if that is even possible
Russia does historically love their Copium
Laith to abolish sefdom you have to reduce landowners politcal strength, you can do this by enacting laws that reduce it such as changing from peasant conscription, hereditary bureaucrats or whatever else, I usaully pass about 5 or 6 laws weakening the sunni and landowners groups while strengthening industrialists and intelligentsia before im able to abolish serfdom
growing opium in central asia while a famine hits seems like a classic british move
Should've done it as Galicia Volhynia
10:50
Montage of Laith being Pissed as F***
Can someone explain to me why Afghanistan has a black flag?
Yarr they are pirates!
I would suggest a video where you play as Russia and release every nation you own almost like the fall of the Soviet Union and end up playing as Ukraine. I just recently started playing this and it’s a lot of fun.
Day 2 of asking Laith to do a world conquest as Equatorial Guinea
Jesse i have became Afghanistan jesse
Considered some sort of Australia run? I presume they're playable, and have something like the massive pile of natural resources they do naturally
saw ISP play a game as them (like the one vid he made on vic3, and it's mostly showcasing why he thinks it's bad) and they seem to have a ton of gold so there's that. didnt really notice much else
Play one of the Boer nations and prevent the disaster of the Second Boer War by taking over south Africa.
Am I the only one that thinks the song that plays on the back of all this guy's videos heavily invokes Sex and the City?
Gotta love that version of the Afghan flag. Just pure black. Marvelous.
THE "HEAVENLY KINGDOM" THING SEEMS COOL. YOU CAN TRULY BECOME THE BROTHER OF JESUS
Try releasing Croatia from Austria and form Yugoslavia. I got lucky and joined Britain's market without becoming a protectorate so got it done before the turn of the century.
Hey been watching your vids and saw the mexico one from a couple days ago, you were complaining about running out of pops. Turns out you can basically never run outta pops if you switch to multiculturalism + No migration controls + Separation of church and state. This combo means everyone is accepted in your nation and so they all view it as a potential migration point, which means that as long as you have good standard of living in those areas you will have constant supply of immigrants ready to work in your factories, this plus constant expansion and reinvestment into construction results in easy 1Bil eco everytime
Only if you have high standard of living, otherwise this works against you and all your pops will leave
What did the seperation of church and state do?
@@remington2216 if i remember right it makes you a more attractive immigration target because you don’t discriminate against other religions and also it makes other religious groups less radical
This game is so much harder to make CRAZY video worthy content with. I still enjoyed the video but I empathize with you as a content creator trying to make new videos with a game that just isn’t cooperating.
Wait, does Laith play at max game speed on every strategy game?
yes
@@TheSocialStreamers based
There is a small country called Croatia in Austria, I challenge you to play as Croatia, become independet, destroy Austria, drive ottomans back, have full control over old yugoslavia territories, try to also be in top 10 powers at the end of the challenge. Thanks for everything you do :D Have a good day. Day 4 of asking.
debug_mode - he's at it again :D
It just so happens that a few hours before I came to this video, I looked up the biggest consumers of heroin, and found out that Afghanistan apparently produces 85% of the necessary substances for it. The universe works in strange ways...
OK, so about runs ideas and all, I may have one : being the number one producer of oil in late game but only producing it by killing whales
English in afgani land for drugs, in monark time. I do like real history runs...
You really need ports to get good prices for exports.
I stopped playing until they fix the vassal randomly releasing problems
Mate, you don't need to break Victoria 3. 'Tis already broken.
vassals/puppets/... go independants when you lose your interest in a region. One way to avoid that is to get a state everywhere you want subjects.
Praying for a sequel
Fighting the war on drugs, on the side of drugs 😃
if this is like victoria 2 at all you need to make afganistan no longer landlocked in order to get rid of a terrible modifier.
I've been wanting to see Afghanistan take Pashtun lands from the sikh empire. Amazing
“When you walk through the garden…”
I really wanna see you try a real campaign to make something out of Lahej
I forgot that opium was in the "intoxicant" class of goods. Hence its demand peaks at relatively low standard of living and is present even for pops way down in the "starving" range, e.g. peasants. Add to this the inherently limited supply in the world, the "obsession" effect from its consumption, and limited competition from other goods -- liquor the AI doesn't produce because groceries themselves are an under-performing, nonessential industry, and tobacco that has to be imported from the New World with limited convoys -- and I think it's actually a good product to specialize in, memes aside.
Not only that but the army uses a lot of it for a very critical function which is field hospitals. Fighting someone with field hospitals when you don't have them is basically suicide unless you outnumber/outpower them significantly.
This is how i found your channel 👍 😊
Its so funny to me, because afghanistan is worldwide #1heroine producer in the world.
I would love that game to work this well on my pc
>makes video about drugs
>18:25 "We're too high" 🤔
More Victoria 3 please
Is chocolate a trade good? If so try to become Cadburys.
Indian Independence Vicky 3 video?? 👀
Play Austria with the explicit intention to drag everyone into multiple world wars
You don’t need Austria for that. Just try to get the French Treatyport and watch the world burn because Britain added a treatyport in Provence
The heavenly kingdom 1850s!? How!? I'm purposely trying to get them to spawn so I can play them and it just isn't working...
China: NO NO NOT THEM NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
UK: YES YES YES YESSSSSS
can somebody explain how his troops beat sikh empire? I tried attacking them and got absolutely wrecked.
If the AI wasn't incompetent this would be impossible without taking the northern territories of the indian subcontinent since those opium farms can have up to 1200 farms. A paltry 60 is not gonna do anything. Ming also has two I think with a limit of 1k. Also you could have gone the extra mile and removed any other farms. Opium shares it's space with other plantation type resources such as wheat. Who needs grain?
Play as the cape colony
World Conquest
I'd like to see a East India Company video where you get independence and form India
Jesse we need to unite the Iranian Peoples under a one strong nation and united banner.
To do this we need to export drugs jesse
Working as intended.
Laith, please try to play a nation in Southeast Asia!
How do you declare an interest when you don't own the land?
I have to do this now
How does he know so much about the game already
There are a number of possible answers, none mutually exclusive:
1. He played it quite a lot in the period.
2. He played it with support from the forum or a direct source of information.
3. He intuits it because it follows familiar Paradox design.
4. He is not playing very well at all; he is editing well. The degree to which opium is pervasive isn't too difficult to achieve given the current version.
Central Asia is a fairly safe playground and Afghanistan starts with some real advantages over its neighbors. Also, his knowledge of the game seems pretty standard for the amount of time we've had it.
Latih has an opium problem?
No, it not a problem...
I was trying the exact same thing today before seeing this video, only problem being : I was not able to export Opium to ANY country XD
Menus, menus, menus
I think forming Arabia as Egypt and trying to unite all Arabs could be fun habibi
