New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!
A tip for getting laws passed that requires rng and a lot of luck:
Generals, Naval Officers, Agitators and Rulers can become the leader of their political parties. If you can find one from the Landowners that doesn't have a terrible personal ideology, you could try and exile the current leader and pray. The more popular a character, the more chance they have of becoming the leader of their party. Generals can get popularity from battles and events while the rest only can get popularity from only events.
This is basically the meta strategy for Russia since your heir starts off as a Landowner that is a Market Liberal. While he is the leader, you can get all the industrialization laws and the Landowners will love you for it.
You might be able to do some peaceful vassalization by forming a 'Sovereign Empire' power bloc, once you're able to. You'll have the ability to turn other members of your power bloc into vassals. Convince them to bow before the Emperor through less violent means!
Reminds me of a scene from Madam Secretary with the Chinese Ambassador lol. "When we come for you, it won't be with (the army). We'll repossess you!"
Yeah, and also get transportation principle asap for massive infrastrucure boost from population
I assume that the «start a war to lose in order to force a truce so the enemy won’t start another war with us” is insanely nonhistorical, no?
It is kinda exploit of game mechanics, so yes
I mean gb got reparations for the war but yea it would be unhistorucal for the truce to not lead to China unbanning opium
The ahistorical thing is that truces force you to not declare war, or force you to follow the peace terms for a set period, it was incredibly common to break truces and peace terms (or work around them, using creative understanding of the wording)
GB historically would probably just find a way to nullify a truce with Qing and declare another war
Most China runs I do now I rush Romanticism cause it allows you to switch over to Agrarianism immediately, which is absolutely the biggest boost to China's economy early game. No other tech or government change does as much as that single switch due to how much China's economy is just farms of one type or another.
Edit: Also, one of the funny things about China is that their Scholar-Officials is one of their best parties at the start. Their Noblesse Oblige gives +20% base increase to Aristocrats' IP contribution... and guess who owns everything at the start of the game? A 40% total is a massive boost to the economy!
There is something I want to see that there seems to be no videos on.
A heavenly kingdom video.
From the outside looking in, the learning curve on this game looks quite high and daunting.
Im honestly having trouble finding a single fun mechankc lol
It is. Its definitely fun though
The tutorial is pretty good actually and paradox has some guides on their channel. I used the tutorial in 1.0 so don't know how it still holds up
Quill, there are modes that increase the amount of supplies an army uses, that's probably what you're thinking of
Unless some things have changed, until you get some of the more advanced fertalizers you want to let those subsistence farms provide most of the food and focus more on the things to get you industrializing.
Food has been slashed by 40% in 1.7. It’s brutal.
Another good thing about overproducing some of the foods is the low costs help with standards of living. If they just stay even and still employs people its a win.
Oh, 1.7 is out, lets play with all the revolutionary features like foreign investments, power blocs, the great game and ...
Nah, let's take QING! Chad move.
I've never seen anyone play as China, BOLD move my friend.
Generalist Gaming has done it recently.
something thats not Rimworld! Hype!
go to the rubber resource page (from the tooltip on the tech) and then you could maybe see 'potential rubber' map-mode
It looks like an alternative way to gain recognition is to get a great power to like you enough (+50), then you can gain recognition
From an economic point of view, military production can be very profitable if the armed forces are happy, cause they give a price boost on military goods that is basically 'money out of thin air'
Your vocal pattern reminds me of Brandon Sanderson and it makes listening so much easier because I love listening to that man talk
Quil already looking towards a century of humiliation.
The goat is here
Wow, your game is so fast. My game takes over 10 seconds per week.
China actually has one of the best military ig bonuses so a military run with china is actually pretty good
Rice farms look more profitable because they produce a lot more than other grain farms. However they also need way more labor and can't use later labor-reducing mechanization methods like tractors.
Not a big issue for China overall
Qing gets a nice buff to where they are like one of the only nations worth running on max taxes because they get a really nice buff to there legitimacy, at least imo, I never run them on anything lower then 3-4 but max is still nice
I bet you've already recorded more Quill18, but: you might want to leave Macao where it is! There used to be an event required to finish Fragile Unity that required foreigners to hold territory that was in China and (I think) predominantly Han or Manchu.
I think the amount of people working on rice is due to the fact that rice is very labor intensive when compared to other grains.
The glorious leader quill18's regime knows best o7
Python is doing my job and Quill plays my games. Can life be any better?
I just started a China campaign
Is that the in-game music?
Yes
Looking forward to the new series
I hate the clunky military of Vic 3 that I decided to abandon the game. Spheres of Influence was the first expension I would have needed to buy and I passed on it.
Maybe, if they will get their shit together I'm coming back on a later date.
The important features are all in the free update so if you have the base game you could try it out without spending additional money
It is a lot better now. I've not had any issues with armies not being able to get the the right fronts with the current patch, and I've played quite a few hours/different countries
How do you have the compact building menu?
this series is a ding Qing thing. lol
Qing in 1.7? Oh, no... 😅
Gold mines...
What are corn laws?
The corn laws were a set of tariffs on cereal crops aimed at protecting farmers by setting a minimum price for grain. Essentially what happened was that the UK needed to import grain to feed its urban industrial population but a tariff was placed on imported grain which kept it at an artificially high price. The tax was inversely related to the price of wheat on the UK market. So if wheat was fetching 20’ per ton the tariff would be 30’s per ton, but if the price rose to 30’ per ton the tariff dropped to 20’ per ton. This effectively fixed the price of grain at the shortage prices of the Napoleonic wars even in years with good harvests but prevented vastly excessive price rises after poor harvests.
The system was very popular with Tory landowners but very unpopular among urban workers, middle classes, and factory owners. It led to the pressure for reform which led to the 1832 reform act and Chartism. The system collapsed in 1848 under the pressure of the Irish potato famine and the poor European harvests of that year causing the Tories to split into the Peelites and a hardline faction. The peelites merged with the Whigs creating the modern Liberal party, now known as the Liberal Democrat’s following their merger with the SDP in the early 1990’s. That led to the UK adopting a liaise fare economic policy and free trade through to the 1910’s.
NB corn here has its meaning in British English of any cereal grain, principally wheat but also including barley, maze, and oats not its US English meaning of just maze.
@@davidwright7193 So how is this represented in the game? Are there certain game laws or taxes?
@@benjamincorey6259 sets the tariff on grain to import tariffs and creates additional demand for liaise fare , free trade, and increased representation. In the UK you will also get both Peelite and Chartist political parties with the Whigs and Peelite parties merging to create a liberal party that the trade unions will eventually break from to create the Labour Party in late game.
This game is sooo broken
But sooo fun
