Gold fields are essentially subsistence farms that are generated upon the discovery of gold in a province, and can do nothing but produce gold. When they are depleted, you can then build gold mines, which can give you more options for how gold is generated. For example, you can't move gold fields to other methods of production to use coal to mine more gold, but you can do that in gold mines.
That's how they work in game, but I think he was asking in general? So Gold Mines are places where people work to excavate a gold vein that was formed by mineral deposition in the Earth's crust, while Gold Fields are places where gold from veins was exposed or deposited by deformation or erosion and can be obtained directly.
@@ser6IjvolkI think “gold fields” represent an abstracted idea of a “gold rush”- prospectors haphazardly rushing to newly found gold and gathering it through whatever means possible, while gold mines represent a centralized and organized effort to properly mine areas for gold.
Heya! I'm the creator of the Historical Flavor Expansion and it's been a joy to see you enjoy a playthrough with the content I've spent countless hours crafting together.
Hey Laith! The "Gold Mines Depleted" event is actually really good. Sure, you don't get the subsistence farm of it being automatically built, but that event allows you to build your own gold mines, where you can get it to use stuff like Atmospheric engine and whatnot. You get an even higher gold output when they dry up and you build your own gold mines. Would recommend using it. Great video! Edit: also please keep playing with HFE, great mod which adds a lot to the game.
Gold FIELDS are meant to represent prospectors just prospecting on their own; surface level, not very efficient, but needs very little in the way of input. Whenever gold FIELDS dry up, you can make gold mines; proper commercial mining project, goes deep into the earth.
40:49 when you stopped colonizing zimbaze you lost the state because the game thinks that you didn't have it before colonizing so when you stopped colonizing it you literally ceded it to the natives, its a weird mechanic but for any reason exists.
Honestly seeing a run where you aren't just a top 10 GDP right out of the gate was awesome - been trying to get some runs going like this an it's nice to see it!
hey laith you should probably check out the seperate markets mod, if your ever playing as a puppet or dominion nation, so and so, it might be a good idea to get the mod for u to have ur own market
Laith, you need to use Lotus AI and Anbeeld's AI, they make the AI actually decent, making it much harder to easily get to #1 as any nation. Also, when your gold fields get depleted, that creates slots for gold mines which are essentially better gold fields.
"Our government is low on legitimacy and no one wants to vote for any of the available candidates." "How bad is the situation?" "Well, we had an election and even the members of our current government didn't want to vote for themselves." "And then what happened?" "They stayed in power because no one turned up to vote for any of the opposition parties either."
In Switzerland women got allowed to vote in federal elections from 1971. It wasn't until a swiss supreme court decision in 1990 before women was allowed to vote in the last canton Appenzell Innerrhoden which still didn't allow women to vote in local elections.
You know a state like that could probably exist in real life, especially with the borders shown in game. It would probably end up being a buffer state between the French and English colonies similar to how Siam was, and since it's a (theoretically) culturally European state that is (theoretically) catholic, it would probably have a much better time getting recognized and acting diplomatically with other European powers. Of course if they actually tried invading the Netherlands then yeah they'd be dead within the week
The boer republics states set up after the dutch lost the cape colony to the British after the two Boer wars they became a part of the union of South Africa as colony of the British.
The Boer Republics set up long after the Dutch lost the Cape. The Groot Trek started in 1836, and the republics of Nataal, Oranje Vrystaat and the Suid-Afrikaansche Republiek would only appear in the latter half of the 1840s. Nataal would be annexed in the late 40s, while the Vrystaat and Suid-Afrikaansche Republiek would be annexed twice, the first annexation being nullified by the First Boer War, and the second being permanent, with both being incorporated into the future Union of South Africa.
@14:22 you hit the infrastructure cap and move the construction sector. That’s actually the one and only time(almost) it doesn’t matter. Construction sectors don’t consume infrastructure and actually it can be nice to stick them in high pop low infra states.
7:30 this is what frustrates me about this game, you gained about 50k radicals as the iron and tools shuffled employees meaning you gained 50k radicals for EMPLOYING people and building an economy. Unless you're playing a command economy why the hell are people furious at the government for being fired by their privately run company?
They're upset they lost their job, and it's very common to blame a big unknown entity, like your government. Not saying its logical, just that it does make sense.
@@jaccovanderduin1359 agree absolutely if the economy is shrinking people will blame government for losing their jobs. But in this situation it’s employment shuffling as the economy grows
@@Otori6386 I would get pissed if I got fired within a week from multiple jobs. Maybe add a grace period, where a pop doesn't get radicalised if it can find a job within a certain time.

It's funny that in CK3, everybody likes the evil stuff - incest, child murder, stuff like that But in Vicky 3, everybody wants to end slavery instead of institutionalizing it.

It's like when I played as Ecuador I got a woman as a prime minister and she supported legal guardianship so she wanted to give herself less rights. I was like wtf are you thinking.
i think if you find valuable resources like gold, coal, oil etc then it should make ur neighbour or big colonial nations suddenly become more aggressive towards you.. more likely to invade.. which is what happened very often consistently during the last few hundred years... but the cb should be called 'operation freedom' or something like that
I'm trying to acquire the legitimate Vic 3 so I don't miss out on updates. I'm waiting for a sale to buy it when it doesn't cost 40+ pounds. Also please do a Sikh campaign where you defeat the British (I don't remember if you've done it).
The intro of the same song looping is really distracting, and there are some really rough hard music cuts. You usually have a couple going and they don't repeat so quickly. That was much nicer to listen to.
Played as the Ottomans recently and became a protectorate of France, France then had a revolution like 50 years later and Paris was isolated. I was losing 500k a week and went bankrupt like 4 times in like 10 years since Revolutionary France and France reached a stalemate. During the bankruptcy I had to do what Laith does at 16:43, until the point where I had an illegitimate government, so I couldn't enact laws. I can't remember how i stopped the revolutions from firing, but I managed to fix my economy over like 10 years after the civil war ended. (I could not join the civil war before it started, and since France was in a diplo play I couldn't declare independence). Finally after becoming independent I got the Healthy man of Europe achievement at like 1910 or 1920.
You became great power because of your prestige. If your prestige is above 900 (!) then you become great power. Also i think you start as a recognized nation.

Laith, you lose all states when you abandon the colony! Even if you conquered a part of the state earlier. This happened when you left the state of Zambezi (Mashona tribe) at 40:53 (-£0.8M GDP and 0.48M fewer people). 😅

You can see local consumption and production of each good by going into the building screen of any building and clicking on the commodity , eg, coal mine then click on the coal commodity. This gives you your output and consumption values for your country or state (still not sure which, maybe local economy however thats calculated). It's a pain and should just be it's own tab in the markets menu. :also rule 1 with playing the Transvaal and the Free state is replace the gold mines. Rule 2: join the british market, join as a protectorate, or just the customer union, but fucking do it, industrialise then leave and nab your 4 missing resources (sulphur, oil, rubber and lead). Means you can ignore your military until your economy can support a decent army. Best none cape start is the Free state. Join the british market and industrialise on that sweet gold. Then laugh at the zulu as your bumper 6 economy and number 7 military rips them a new a hole. Then get the French or Austrians to fight the Brits to take back the cape.
Yeeeeay, more opportunities to randomly figth Russia, France and Austria for some kurdish opm's in the middle of nowhere as Ottos. That's exactly what we need.
Good point!!! Starting early and prioritizing your investment is the best way of getting ahead to financial freedom. I’m 41 and my goal is to hit a million before eoy so I can retire 2022. Currently averaging over 30% monthly on my stock portfolio so I know I will get there. Time in the market beats anything else
Nice one! I'm turning 47 next month and always had a drive to retire early. The problem I face with the stock market now is how to analyze and pick the best stock for my portfolio. Do you think you can share some tips to invest in a healthy way as you are doing?
"If you want a decent pension these days..." you seem to imply that pensioners have been well off in the past! You don't need to stay single and childless to have a pension. What you do need to do is live within your means and that might mean prioritising alternative investments and your pension savings over new cars, holidays, eating out, expensive mobile phone contracts etc etc.
that voting thing kinda reminds me of blackadder the third where the constituency has only one voter but the politician gets like 11,000 votes or something
