Liberia annexing Texas and succeeding where the Golden Circle failed is exactly the kind of Paradox shitposting I come here for. Also, Caesar Tubman is the most badass name ever to emerge in Victoria 3
This is probably one of the only safe African starts, so long as the US doesn't like you enough to annex you. You did it as a meme, but honestly could probably make this start really strong
This is a world I really wanna see more of. Like, what do the two World Wars look like with a syndicalist America and Liberia as arguably the strongest democracy in the world?
@@Djentle-Rain considering how aggressive they banned slavery(and asked for war reps), they might get involved quickly. The syndicalist america will get involved to try and remanifest destiny on liberia as well.
29:55 Hong Xiuquan, the founder of the Taiping Rebellion that succeded in this playtrought viewed Manchus as demons, so thats why they all fled the Africa
If you like building something strong from scratch I can only think of one out of pocket idea Play as a released Wales, unleash the dragon and build a coal empire
The beaty of Victoria 3, a game where endgame is always to leave the most pops possible with best outcome possible as it gives you the biggest economy and fastest research.
So, in other words, the secret to success as a nation is to try to improve the lives of as many of your people as possible? Frankly, that's pretty based.
Liberia was one of the first African countries to ban slavery much of Europe already having banned it in there home countries. Also one of Liberias presidents who peacefully convinced tribes to get rid of slavery and then convinced the tribes to join the country of Liberia all well still being a considered a U.S. colony.
These videos take a long time to make and get out there, but honestly they are the best Paradox videos out there, from Ck3 to Vic 3, to hoI4 to Stellaris, I'd watch whatever video you made in this format. It's just such a good format my man. You are one of the very few instant clicks on YT for me. Keep up the good work.
I'm gonna be honest: from an IRL standpoint, I enjoy the concept of what Liberia was meant to achieve. Tho, it was very inefficient at the outset and not properly supported initially. It still has a very American-inspired culture, which I think is also unfortunate because they could be so much more unique than that. From what I've been reading, they also don't have very good relationships with the other African countries-continuous political conflict-which is incredibly unfortunate for them, and I hope they get a lot more support.
Idk about "what Liberia was meant to achieve" though. It was a 19th century racist idea to send black Americans "back" to Africa. Of course the relations with the indigenous Africans weren't good. Why would they be? Foreigners were invading their land!
I mean, I don't really like the idea that it was *meant* to achieve much - it was well-meaning but ignorant and happened because of a common belief at the time that a multiracial society was impossible without the black population violently taking out their valid grievances on the white one. They were probably better than most abolitionists that believed the right things but took no action to alleviate the suffering of slaves, but they didn't really spare much of a thought for the fact that the land they were colonizing already had a population of 'Africans' that had literally nothing in common with these people and that the freed slaves would have access to vastly superior technology and resources that they used to brutally oppress them for basically the country's entire existence. In 1990 they still had unfree labour taking place on incredibly exploitative and dangerous plantations. It's like they learned *all* the wrong lessons from America
This was great! Play as Krakow and breakout from Austria and then... dealer's choice? Modern Poland? Pol+Lit? Go SE and see how far it's possible to get into ME?
Politely requesting a Zulu game where South Africa and Great Britain are made to feel the Bull's Loins as you prove that, when it comes to Zulu, it's Shaka Can not Shaka Can't.
this come late but id love to see anarchist finland run in vic3:3 Another interesting would be taking uk or germany back into feudalism with rest of the world.
If not done already, take the poorest nation or The Philippines to be a recognized major power with the restriction that you must select one interest group or political party to always be in power.
Amazing video and surprised you managed to become a great power. Would love more Vic3 content and more specifically I would love to see you play as South Africa and conquer all of the British Isles
If you are looking for more variety for gameplay options, I would really recommend trying mods like bookmarks+ on CK3 to get the whole map and way more potential for interesting content.
Hello mister Alzabo and happy Thursday. Would be great to see you do an vicky3 island challenge. Could start as Madgascar or Cuba or w/e and then conquer all the islands in the world
Love the vid! You shld try playing an Indian Prince and breaking free from the EIC and form India. Everytime I tried I got stormed by the EIC hordes, maybe you have better luck esp with the AI more willing to support independence this patch
I don't know much about Victoria 3 but would be nice to see you take it to 2024. But knowing Paradox that may take some time for you. Still just curious to see what you would do and how the world would look.
I honestly wish Paradox would make "ledger" (or however the source of global information is called in Victoria, I'm Eu4 enthusiast) into pure gameplay mechanic, rather than kind of meta-play. I know it's a balancing act for all-knowing AI, but it always breaks my immersion that some small country on the next continent has access to extremely precise information about nation with no spies inside, nor other means of actually securing valuable intel.

bro you just fulfilled the golden circle concept as Liberia.
“ Santa Ana begged for a white peace but we aren’t white” lmao
Made me sub after that.
Its way more entertaining to play as one of the worst nations in the world and larp than start off as a great power
All hail the rise of the Liberian Empire!
While I agree Victoria 3 is one of the few PDX games where playing a major power is still fun
Started off as the Qasimids and becoming Arabia is so satisfying
Agreed i love playing as sokoto ottomans persia mughals rawanda
But also qing
I normally play and pdx game like the point is to become the greatest power, after that the game is done.

Liberia, Land of Liberty what a Place to be President Tubman
🗣️ louder 🗣️
Will lead the way to a brand new day setting the nations free
Ah, a fellow Japsterdamner

But the richest ore that can be found are the people's hearts of gold
"After we finished researching how to be racist"
I didn't have *that* on my bingo card.
based Korone fan
I like playing Liberia too, but I usually try and take Africa to make the United States of Africa.
Liberians freeing African Americans from slavery sounds, to be honest, really cool.
and the complete opposite of what happends in reality but its still cool
not freed, more like under new management
Government: God damnit we sent you there for a reason
@@crazysarge9765they’re freed, he ended slavery early
And yet, even though Liberia was made for them, they're still here for some reason.
"Can't demand independence due to our low Liberty desire after being regime changed 20 times"
Great DLC Paradox as always
Damn, now I want to see you reform the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth by playing Krakow
Easy now, satan
I’m pretty sure laith did that
@@War_is_cool its his 3rd most viewed video in fact
Surviving on war reparations is crazy 💀💀
That sounds funny
@@ChangeNameEdits 😆
Ah, the good old Stalin gambit😅
@@TheArklyte fr 😅
"Landing in Oregon, and reverse trailing".. damn, that's poetic!
THE PUNS IN THIS EPISODE ARE DEVASTATING A++++
What content would YOU like to see NEXT? CK3 castration challenge coming SOON!
castration challenge? you mean ball(less)garia
How about United Scandinavia that must take revenge on Russia?
Love your content can’t wait to see the ck3 play through! 🎉
I know it's a reach but I feel like playing the dread league in the equestria at war mod for hoi4 would be fun
Poland reformation as Kraków
This is probably one of the only safe African starts, so long as the US doesn't like you enough to annex you. You did it as a meme, but honestly could probably make this start really strong
“Making Wakanda” first step leave Africa 😂
This is a world I really wanna see more of. Like, what do the two World Wars look like with a syndicalist America and Liberia as arguably the strongest democracy in the world?
Presumably, they look like Liberia continuing to kick everyone's asses for war reparations.
Probably the same just joining the war late to claim glory 🤷🏻♂️
@@Djentle-Rain considering how aggressive they banned slavery(and asked for war reps), they might get involved quickly. The syndicalist america will get involved to try and remanifest destiny on liberia as well.
"There are 2 things I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch." Thanks for bringing me waaaaaay back....
AlzaboHD not using the Washington state trick against the US! (impossible challenge):
29:55
Hong Xiuquan, the founder of the Taiping Rebellion that succeded in this playtrought viewed Manchus as demons, so thats why they all fled the Africa
If you like building something strong from scratch I can only think of one out of pocket idea
Play as a released Wales, unleash the dragon and build a coal empire
As a New Zealander, starting somewhere in the Pacific would be awesome. If that's even possible in Victoria 3.
hawaii is a free nation. Polynesia is subject to france but you can play them.
Tahiti would be so fuckin cool if that’s possible
With all this America focus, how about a play through as Louisiana and claiming your rightful territory, as well as the French crown?
Trying to recreate the Heavenly Kingdom as a player power actually sounds pretty wild
Making the world more free through the power of jingoism.
Real smooth video, hope to see more.
"a piece of ship" goes hard af, ngl
Invading Texas as Liberia is very poetic because Texas was the last state to abolish slavery and Liberia is a colony comprised of freed slaves

I love the puns you put into this video. as a history nerd they make me happy.
“Comanche please” 🤣 he can’t keep getting away with this
I know you dont typically play modder games, but a CK3 After the End video would be really cool. Its been on the Steam workshop now for a while.
The tribe called quest reference fucking killed me
This is the Blessed Timeline. It’s too pure. 😂
11:58 I think you misspoke with 100 years...
"Wir schaffen das"
That was a good one
The GDP is not 350… it’s three fiddy😂
Liberia has one of the best rags to riches story possible

Loved the niche austin powers joke at 19:57. It really caught me off guard
Now i wanna see this same Vicky save in HOI4 lmao
Liberia conquers Texas: "Welcome back lone star state"
(Its still just a stars and stripes with a single star except with more stripes)
Your puns are sick as always. Love 'em.

That sounds an order of magnitude harder. If not more.

I like how Switzerland is almost always the *one* thing that never changes in any playthrough.

Another interesting would be taking uk or germany back into feudalism with rest of the world.

Man, this is setting of alternative history that I would love to read about
interesting that the fall of Qing to the Christian Taipings led to Manchu Confucians moving to Liberia
Lol easily one of the most entertaining vic 3 vids ive seen.

This is the funniest victoria 3 channel I have found, easily earned a sub!
here's a challenge; win as Paraguay.
Paraguay is one of the strongest minor nations in the game. And it was used for world conquest runs thanks to turtle island and their unique ideology
Paraguay is super easy tbh. Haiti is harder. Algeria is harder. Hawaii is harder
Alzabo your artillery barage of puns always relaxes me and i dont know why
Amazing video and surprised you managed to become a great power. Would love more Vic3 content and more specifically I would love to see you play as South Africa and conquer all of the British Isles
Unrelated, but I rarely encounter a youtuber that play vic 3 with such an ASMR voice.
freedom isn't free is kinda bars ngl

this video i think will make me actually play vicky 3
I'd love to see more vic3 content, keep up the good work ❤
Of course, the true victory was Tonga Time.
Fucking incredibly written script
Florida! Make the Florida man rule the land from sea to shining sea.
