Fun fact even after the abdication button is clicked you can reshuffle your government before choosing the "we are helpless before the coming storm" option and it will still apply the clout debuff to the people you just placed into government.
The problem is kinda that radicals just get mad in general, not mad about particular things, so they allow you to force revolutions that are progressive/conservative very easily.
@@generalistgaming I always hated the instant radicalism you got from reforming government, if removing that is a good way to cut down on cheese I am all for it
I noticed something important in 1.6 regarding resigning with Intelligensia - Despite them preferring presidential republic, they reform into parliamentary republic from presidential when picking "we are helpless before the coming storm" (except where they have an ideology like communism or positivism). Not sure why this is given they prefer presidential republic but it was super useful for minor unrecognised countries with serfdom once corn laws shenanigans had been done. A double resignation could be done from monarchy into parliamentary on the same revolution as it doubles up the bloodless revolution penalty on IGs (could still have been done if it stuck on presidential anyways), and you can push all IGs you don't want into government for this. It basically gives liberal reform a free reign as long as you bring voting in fast so conservative and rural parties can't appear, plus changing government around later on is very nice due to parliamentary's mechanics. Making sure Petite Bourgeouisie are not marginalised can give you 100% clout shared between industrialists and intelligensia early on for an undeveloped country as every other IG except trade unions will be suppressed hard.
i’m not sure if it’s still possible in the new update because i haven’t tried it yet, but on the previous update there’s a way to get USSR within four years of game start, it just requires some RNG: have the intelligentsia start the revolution movement at game start, get rid of the landowner generals at start to make it easier on clout, and you have a chance to get a communist armed forces leader with the “Petition March” event, which makes the armed forces join the revolution, and if they’re the leading group, then when you resign from office you’ll get council republic. i got it by 1840 which is like before even the Communist Manifesto irl lol. the only challenge is that since you still don’t have any society techs yet there’s not much in the ways of journal entries or anything to get more communist people to appear… so once the armed forces guy is gone then you likely will have trouble; if it’s still possible in the new patch maybe if you give as much power as possible to the AF, stay autocracy and hope you get Red Army so that the AF is communist no matter what. other than that, it is possible during those first years with the communist guy to pass a lot of good laws to set up russia for a better start. you just have to pray for good RNG. hopefully this strategy is still doable in the new patch
Surprisingly I somehow figured it out by myself. But great video nontheless, I think this is extremely strong mechanic. Probably going to be somehow nerfed. You also can significantly weaken landowners on backwater countries like China/Japan and pass a bunch of eco laws during this 5 years -90% clout period.
I don't think that the most popular general strat is working anymore. I had a genral with +50 popularity, the only general (not just of that IG but he was the only general in my whole military) and when i exiled the IG leader some rando took over.
one tip you missed here is a way to get early Parliamentary republic on day one (or from Pres to Parliment) is to double rerign on the same day. Intelgencia want Pres republic, but if you double resign on same day they will demand a prliment instead. making it one of the only ways to ever get parliment as a someone who's already a republic
@@hagalathekido yes. I eventually got this to work, but I never did find out why I had this issue. I’ve seen that button greyed out where you can hover over it and see why you can’t do it. Mine was just gone.
can you make an updated version on how to free the serfs as russia? for me the trick doesnt work anymore (after around 30 attempts). I always get a south german protectionist guy called egor something
@@hansnotig2138 corn laws and savescum is your best bet if you're ok with it. If you manage to get off serfdom and your market liberal landowner dies (he will) you get scripted protectionist who can help you get off traditionalism. To proc corn laws you have to turn off all secondary pms on farms and export grain to everybody if trade route volume is above 10, then wait for trade routes to fill up. Then you pause, turn on secondary pms and export to everybody else. I never managed to get the price of grain higher than +25%, which is enough, but the room for error is very low, you just have to try it until it works.
Can you make a video explaining Suppress and Bolster? I feel like I don’t understand them very well. They attract more pops, sure, but how does that actually affect the IG Clout? The industrialists still won’t attract non-capitalist pops, and the rural folk have a million pops no matter what i do, but can get marginalized anyway (because i ignore what the poor farmers believe, of course)
thanks for your videos! I have a general question: I start playing right , pass laws, modernise society, increase literacy and all good staff.. however, in the first 50years I normally cannot really overcome my rivals when it comes to prestige ranking. No matter how fast I grow or how modern is my society I keep about the same ranking.. I mostly play Russia, US, Spain, Ottomans. what do you think can be the reasons?
Happy Saturday Mr Generalist. I want to ask if you have been having any problems with rail? I’m tested out 1.7 with spheres with my first play through as Australia. I need my railways for carting gold but the only way to have my railways work is to subsidise. But because i’m subsidising the manor houses and finance districts see it as a very profitable venture and fill the private queue with railways. I was paying 20k in subsidies just for 1860’s nsw and victoria… they had me at lvl 8 railways with dirt cheap transport and more than double needed infrastructure. Still they had more building in the queue. I hope paradox does something about it like allowing subsidies to be offered only to national owned buildings. Would love it if you could lend your more powerful voice to the cause.
I haven't noticed it being too big a deal in my games, but I think that it might be foreign countries giving you grief - as I understand next week's hotfix will make countries a little less jumpy about foreign investment
The ultimate irony that to speedrun establishing a glorious people's republic means first shelling out $15 to a capitalist corporation. We live in a society😂😂😂
@@Moulwurf As a European, we are not socialist. What you describe is Social Democratic. And the ones in Europe don't seem to have a socialist country as the end goal, but rather are still capitalist but with a lot more rules, just a few nationalized things and some social safety nets. And most countries are just liberal market economies with a few social safety nets. I wish it became socialist though. Big corporations are buying essential parts of our society, trying to make a quick buck :/
@@Moulwurf Why do you talk about things you have no idea about? In what way do the people own the means of production? Learn what words mean before you use them.
I keep getting the revolution not for the agitators law but to just preserve the law I'm changing to kick of the revolution. What am I doing incorrectly?

I have noticed that in many cases you can't reroll your landowner IG leader because they share your ruler's ideology (at least for russia and Qing) 😢
