For some reason this video had several audio glitches, particularly with my voice cutting out for a word or syllable. I cut out the worse parts, but unfortunately couldn't fix every instance of this happening. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoyed the first episode! It was a bit shorter than my usual episode 1, but we also made it much further in the calendar than we usually do.
Happy to see this. I've had Victoria 3 for awhile but never really got into it. So I'm hoping I'll learn enough to give it another shot I love your vids......especially for rookies they're very instructive.
Looks like meats back on the menu boys! Hope your foray into the Ottoman empire's holdings goes well, would love to see you force a culture switch on them if its possible on this game. I think that would be a suitably "Russian" thing to do. :D
I haven't done a dedicated tutorial video, but my earlier series would work as beginner guide Let's Plays, particularly the US and Japan ones. However, the game has changed so much over the last year that those series are out-of-date, so not as helpful as they once were.
The game has been vastly improved since launch in almost all areas. The economy, military, and diplomacy are all much better, though the politics are still too simple IMO. It's still not everything I want it to be, and it's particularly lacking the flavor content that makes each country feel unique, however it's significantly more enjoyable to play and it keeps getting better, so I feel optimistic that the devs are on the right track.
I think the thing that turns me off the most about many PDX titles is the tacky scripted event scenarios. It just doesn't feel organic and seems mobile game cheezy.
Yeah I'm not a big fan of the way that Paradox does events either. My issues are that they mostly feel irrelevant, the flavor text doesn't matter (only the actual effects do), you see the same events over and over again and they're not usually entertaining the first time you see them, there's not enough event chains and substantial choices, and the events are mostly random and have very little to do with the actual situation in your country. All of these issues make them feel completely detached from the rest of the game experience.

I like this format, a guide for new player as well as some history lesson
Glad you liked it :)

Hope you enjoy the series!
Got to love let's plays where everything that can go wrong will go wrong
Seems to usually be the case lol, but I suppose the extra challenge adds to the fun :D
I appreciate your channel because it's one of the few that actually focuses on the economy and sol. Lets get this guy to 100k subs!
Glad you enjoy my content :)
Keep the Tsar in power
That's the plan :)
Become a liberal republic 😂
Hey its been a while since I've watched one of your vids, hope you are doing well I'll definitely give this series a watch :)
I've been good, just extremely busy with my kids going back to school. Hope you've well too, and that you enjoy the series :)

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's possible to force them to change their primary culture.
Based Russia game play question mark
Inthink you exported wine instead of importing it?
Great content
Thanks :)
Do you have a tutorial video for Victoria 3 as I own it for a long time at this point but still not worked out how to play it.

Why does the playlist go backwards...?
For some reason the playlist on TH-cam aren't working as they should right now. I did fix the playlist though, thanks :)
I bought the game on release but have been waiting for it to improve. Is it almost ready do you think?

Will do a push up for every like❤
