King Solomon is a real beast as a general. In the Ethiopian reconquest battles your irregulars have a power of +40, so you basically eat up any other country with hardly any losses, as long as you start attacking. That said, my run was in an earlier patch.
I really love when you're playing underdog campaigns, I mean I'm myself a big fan of playing major nations because I've got a brain too smol to play anyone not already in the top leagues but I really love seeing you making a world superpower out of princely states lol
When king has 50 attack power, you decided to keep defending with 10 defense. Actually, with your king as general, you could kick British out of Africa at all... just regular army with 50 attack. It's just a glass gun.
@@alexytikhonov2744 even without that bonus, there's literally no point in defending with irregular infantry since they literally have the lowest defence possible. Seeing as he has Hussars in his army he should be attacking, since that brings his total offence above 10, and someone without the line infantry tech can't get any units that beat that
Sardinia flipped to the pope because of the Italian journal entry that annexes you in to the unification candidate if you have too many radicals in your Italian states, it's kind of stupid i hovered at 95% because i conquered Lombardy and Veneto from Austria... Leave it to paradox to have some stupid events that don't make a lot of sense
0:20 it really does matter, bcs when you start as border nation with Egypt, they are often hostile to you and interfere in your conquests. So, the best choice for unifying is either Shewa(for christian ethiopia) or Harer(for muslim one). They do not border egypt, have big armies and large recruitable population. And, as they're biggest nations, uniting as one of them brings less infamy.
1:53 first, and most important resource in SoL and economics is grain, and the second is clothes. So, you should build millet farms first, and cotton plantations after(bcs cotton is used as the basic clothes, and textile mills needs it, too).
Ludi you should have a small carvery army because generals get aggressive advice wich will allow you to take states with no troops much quicker stopping them from getting reinforced this great for any wars against European colonies
Would it not make sense to replace your resource/manufacturing bonuses with the education/qualifications decree early so you can fill your admin buildings with bureaucrats? Have you done any testing with that instead to see the trade off? Feel like that would help with your bureaucracy problem, but idk if you’ve tested already or not. Great vid as always!
I get the feeling with the chances on the legislation progress. It's better than the original system, but still feels bad when you get unlucky with the rolls, I regularly get those debate outcomes that just change the success chance by +/-10%. Idk how I can ever explain that Vicky 3 gave me gambling addiction lol
If you think about it, him saying "we're an African nation, liberating Africa for the rest of Africans" is like Germany during ww2 saying "we're a European nation, liberating Europe for the rest of Europeans"
I m totally confuses by this game…i understood good strategy was to male as much coal as possible what I tried to do. Exept 1) productivity tend to drop the butter the mine use 2) the population of my french refio keep decreasonf so the mine struggles to recruit. CAN anyone give me some Tips…I miss the V1 of the game that I played and could make something out of it…
Zulu would be great. Historically they have been treated very badly and evilly by the British, while being courageous. Would be nice to see something different. Although, to be honest, the typical "Gaza move" and "Argentina invasion" feels like cheesing right now. Would be nice to not see this in every single campaign.
I had a market liberal from day 1 basically but that's not how it works in this patch bro, the movement the market liberal aligns with has to influence the government and in my RNG it didn't, so it wasnt possible to give leadership
New to Victoria 3 and want a more in depth video on how to learn the game? Watch this th-cam.com/video/-AUT7tb1Yxw/w-d-xo.html
you look like BARUTHANE PİLAVCISI
Littelary every Victioria episode no matter which country:
- We gonna invade gaza and transvaal to make gold!
real
@@LudietHistoria it gets really repetitive if ya do em every video tho.
@@adriangrzys yea i really dislike that ludi does that cheese every time. Seems to take alot of the dificulty out of it.
@@k3kboi665 it seems more like an optional thing than a required thing for the playthrough. ludi probably js uses it to scale faster
Time for the Baltic Governorates playthrough Ludi
oh god that sounds horrible xD
Form Germany as them
@@LudietHistoriaand DONT form germany as them
@@LudietHistoria try to roleplay modern government. It will be the funniest game 😀
I wouldnt be suprised if you played as some indonesian nation and still went to south africa
too real
@@albinskold8792 how many do you think Indonesia are there 😂
@@bagusarif1199 id say almost 20. Neitherland colony could do better
Sardinians conquering the rest of Italy and then immediately giving the keys to their country to the Pope. Kinda based.

You can pretty much predict every playthrough he does build up and invade the same country's in every playthrough
He didnt in his usa video to be fair, and a few others. End of the day though, you'd be wrong not to invade south africa

I thought, if you start in Ethiopia, you should make the King a general because he's broken?
*form super Germany and then HRE starting as Baltic governorates*
thank you very much on this vid, i kinda burned out seeing bid nations plays and starve for like small countries comes to live
8:18 Gonder calls for aid! ...and Gojjam will answer
I have never seen Prussia forming the NGF, let alone Germany in a long time. That is wild AF. Nice to se Ethiopia getting some love, though.

4:15 or, you attack ones who egypt doesn't protect, then wait until otomans declare on egypt, and annex all the others
8:30 that's a totally stupid, bcs your troops under command of outlaw prince have ~50 attack and ~10 defence
Merry Christmas luddiboo 🎉🎉
Love your Underdog runs
Ludi you should have a small carvery army because generals get aggressive advice wich will allow you to take states with no troops much quicker stopping them from getting reinforced this great for any wars against European colonies
Great video, not a perfect run but that's what makes it fun
Merry christmas to you all!! :)
I didnt remember, but you have no coal in Etiopia... like, one of the basics goods...
Love you Ludi!!!! :)
Accidental joke about white boys of africa is so funny in so many layers it's actually insane bro
do a playthrough as switzerland!
All we need is smartass Chad lord like Ludi's playthrough.
30:06 Strictly speaking, the Papal States ate _Italy..._ somehow
Springtime of nations. Thanks for the video.
"How do you camouflage in the freaking desert?!" ... Uhm - by wearing brown desert camouflage? 😂

@@brother282 it would be nice if i had access to that decree but i have to unlock the tech for it xD
@ ahh yep, that’ll do it. I doubt it’s worth the tech time on top of given up the other bonuses then
@brother282 not worth getting that tech first over other ones and by the time you get it your issue is resolved by homesteading and other ways
It's wrought, not rough goddamit Ludi! Every time!
rough
@@LudietHistoria close enough brudah
@@Sorloth12345 i tried bro
You could do a Czechoslovakia road to a great power
Papal states got sardinia piedmont for free because of the broken interraction in risogimento, i really dont like how it works
Ludi Ludi, would you do serbia->yugoslavia+help romania form in the same run?

Siam play through by chance? IRL they did a lot of cool modernization during this time, and I don't think you've done a game in SEA yet.
Ludi is our King...but in Amharic. Our main King.
With Teodor u want only atack like defending with 10 defence and ataking with 50 atack
You can easily modernize Ethiopia by researching democracy first then triggering corn laws
If you think about it, him saying "we're an African nation, liberating Africa for the rest of Africans" is like Germany during ww2 saying "we're a European nation, liberating Europe for the rest of Europeans"
Still waiting for a non colonization run
Blessed timeline
Have you paid your taxes answer WISELY
Baltic governorates play-through
Isn't there a Unify Ethiopia CB? Is it worse than conquer state?
@@RougeHound i think you get it after nationalism no?
@@RougeHound might be wrong can't remember tbh

No German part 3
coming soon brother
More victoria!
The Russian American company is calling for you to play it
Waiting for Guide for krakau. Day 1
I got you fam, got one coming soon
28:22 hmmmmmm
Can you try and beat the british as Zulu
May I ask why arent you picking Pillage Generals? 30% killrate is insane. I think killrate is king in the game.
Pls play kongo
interesting pick, why kongo? xD
@ I want you to struggle
And make België a hell scape
Ooo i lile this idea, conquer belgium as kongo @@zerriekkrmongool7132
What if... you don't do the Gaza meta?
I want to see you actually fight for your economy.
Oman run. Next.
Zulu would be great.

Oh ok thanks for letting me know. I thought you couls always bolster them and get them. My bad@@LudietHistoria
@@nikojutiniko4191 i did use bolster but it just didnt end up influencing the landowners :(
10:30 You wear pink.
No, seriously.
since when is that the hardest nation? have you seen central asia?
Feeding the algorithm.
it's not colonialism if you are already African
nice
Victoria needs to stop picking on the africans bro cmon
That's nowhere near the worst nation. Zulu is way worse. They can't even build ports or clothes factories at start.
How is Ethiopia the worst nation? Surely Buganda is worse
I'm just going to go out and say it, most of these places are better off being run by a European😂 Merry christmas!
28:25 We are the white bois of Africa
Video idea
Victoria 3 but "fun"??????
Then play port royal
