Laith you need to start taking advantage of the corn laws journal entry which triggers an event that changes the of the leader Landowners to a market liberal with +20 support for free trade and laissez faire. It's by far the easiest way to modernize your laws, also you can easily ban slavery or abolish serfdom in-between. Also, hardwood production isn't an either or choice, it just reduces the amount of logs you create.
Hey! Thanks for playing my mod! The mod is called Kikko's Formable and Releasable Nations. It adds a ton of formables and releasable nations, most of them with multiple flags. Should be great for content. Anyway hope you had fun!
I love the ck3 research since you can focus on one thing but everything improves slowly. It makes sense since the king probably could influence scholars but they wouldnt only do one thing.
the grand problem of technology is that in real life both forms are happening: you have governments activelly investing on it and people randomly inventing stuff... maybe if they were like two tech trees, military stuff obviously in the hands of government, and social + maybe some military stuff in the hands of "society" (basically a random thing ticking up), but it's really complicated, specially if you take in consideration how things worked out in history, like some tribes/kingdoms in Asia and Africa and America would use gunpowder weapons although having no idea how to make a gun themselves (because they just bought it from a foreign power), how the fuck would you make that work in a game where you research technology? it's pretty complicated...
16:17 i thought that by focusing on hardwood, it would make both hardwood and softwood as some focus is on hardwood. From my playthroughs it shows production in both.
on the topic of research, I like how CK3 did it with it being based on the culture and that the culutural head can set a personal interest which makes it faster. but far more, there is an exchange of ideas between cultures which allows for more tech to naturally develop. I thought that was a pretty neat system
I like how Stellaris does tech. I always imagined it as the Scientists presenting project proposals and the player/government is deciding what gets funding.
Problem with Stellaris is that Tech Rush is incredibly broken and there is absolutely 0 counterplay with the random nature of the Tech Tree which makes it go full circle with it ending up being bad instead.
Victoria 2 may be better where the individual technologies could be unlocked by trees but many bonuses come as random chance afterwards. Inventions in my opinion is a system which better compounds the current tech tree idea
re: tech in games, I actually really like EU4's approach to it, that your monarch power which is also used for a ton of other things is now you "buy" each new tech level. So you aren't focusing down each new tech individually, and instead making cost-benefit decisions for when to save up and spend your abstract power on new tech. Of all the problems I have with EU4 monarch power as a concept, this implementation of tech is great IMO
Hey Laith, I think Stellaris does a decent job for technology, where it's not a completely direct tech tree, but randomized techs if certain tiers, and certain tech unlock the chance of other tech to show up more likely. You get a small pool to choose from for each tech category. In fact, make a Stellaris video, it will be awesome.
@@capnfungi7875 Researching in Victoria 2 is still a tree, which is still the issue mentioned by Laith. The inventions, however, is interesting, but then there's the issue where one could possibly not get essential techs for 2 decades or more after all the other powers have already unlocked them. I've had hussars be locked for ~40 years in around 5 campaigns
@@jnliewmichael4235 I feel like there's a happy medium that can be reached. Because realistically innovation played a very large part in the power disparity of the era and it's not well-implemented currently.
Vic need at least 3 research slots for each category (if they want to change research time so it up to them) similar to civilization game and more activities or event that can boost their technology for weaker nation like african or asian nations that lackluster of technology even they have that kind of event but it pretty hard or unprofitable to do it such as created ton of art for nothing. For right now they way to advanced tech is improve overall education especially the law and university (In fact they should make school or temple in most states at start of the game ~ in some countries they study in temple ~ at first and when you can reach target illiteracy rate so they can upgrade to university).

So you can stall ONE revolution this way but the longer you do so the harder it will be to dismantle it through more traditional means, plus you run the risk of causing a different revolution to fire
A tip for getting access to markets with limited declared interests: the rhein region has prussia, france and the Netherlands at a minimum which are all fantastic trade partners
the technology in videogames could be less hyperfocused, but it would remove a lot of player control, like "society is focusing in this completely unrelayed thing to your gameplay rn" although it could be a cool mechanic, you can supress a technology and bolster another, but you'd gain authoritarianism or something like that. Or the game could also implement a system of correlation, if you are focusing a lot of resources and money into military, then the technologies discovered would make sense to a degree, but if you wanted to do a little bit of everything research would be random again, wich is bad. You could have most of the tree unseeable until you have all the conditions to research it, and the dominating interest groups could alter the things, like romanticism in the middle of the desert is really random, but is needed, so you could have romanticism unlocked if the burgeosie had more power, or if you were the subject to a nation that historically had romanticism
10:20 I think the ck3 culture tech system works really well in terms of that because everything is progressing slowly, but based on what the leader of the culture is interested in that gets a boost
10:15 Yeah generally it's just 'select this tech, research this tech, select next tech' etc, though I think the second most common has to be generating some resource(s) which are 'spent' to unlock a tech. There are a few more notable types though. In Aurora 4x, you pick a technology, assign a researcher, then assign that researcher so many labs up to a cap (which the skill of that researcher determines), and can keep doing this as long as you have researchers and labs. Terra Invicta has a dual system where there are two types of research: global and faction projects. Global techs are almost exclusively prerequisites for faction projects, which are the techs that actually give you things. You can assign differing levels of priority to each tech, which determines how much of your research points go each tech. All factions contribute research towards global techs and receive the tech when completed, but faction projects are unlocked through your own efforts and remain exclusive to your own faction. Lastly, the faction that contributes the most to a whatever global tech gets to pick the next one to be researched In Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts research is distributed evenly across all categories by default, but some categories require more research than others to unlock a tech and you can prioritize certain categories. The rest of the alternative tech-trees/research loops I'm familiar with are similar to Stellaris, where there is some element of randomness. Either in the same vein as Stellaris, where you are presented with a given number of random tech options, or you focus on some category and unlock a random tech within it.
10:00 you should look at how tech research works in Terra Invicta. Essentially each faction contributes research to large projects which more or less represent public and private sector research, and this comes up with the concepts that then your organization can use to make technology that applies those concepts. It does a good job of representing 21st-century research because of the interconnected nature of everything, and I feel like the tech spread does a decent job modeling the 19th/20th century way that research spread. Effectively you pick a tech to research, which basically models people having innovative ideas in regards to that tech in your country and excess research represents the potential that is under utilized and goes to look for other places to apply their concepts.
Instead of making a slider for the logging camp, they just need to add another factory that makes hardwood. There should be at least one factory to produce each specific processed good in the game. It's kind of like the arms factory, each type of military weapon should really have its own factory, instead of the current system where you can make basically all the military items in one factory. You should be able to swap the production on these factories to similar factories, so you would still be able to upgrade from the older arms factories to the newer military gear, but it shouldn't be all mixed up in one production building the way it is now. Leads to making resources that you really don't need and you can't even use the buttons to change the production on the entire group of factories in the buildings menu or it messes up your ratios.
On the thoughts of a research system, I think that having a constantly ticking bunch of techs, and just an ability to focus a few to proceed them forward faster than the others would be a nice way to do it.
That already happens in Vic3. You get automatic progress towards the less advanced techs of nearby countries even while you're researching a specific tech. And if you don't research anything, the rate of spread is actually increased. You have to be at the cutting edge of local technology before you get progress only towards the tech you're actively researching.
I think Stellaris does research quite well, in that you can construct buildings to actually improve your research, you have characters geared towards it, and every time you finish researching something, the next options are randomized. It’s obviously not realistic in terms of text, but in principle it’s much closer to research as it’s conducted now (at least when state funded) than most other Paradox games
I made a mod a few weeks ago similar to this (Luna's Formable Nations) and honestly I'm still wondering if some of them are possible to form, would love to see you try and form the tiger's nest, banana republic or if you are really daring, Śakra's Massif, Hah'nunah or the OMC Loving the Vic3 content alot, I've actually learned how to play the game from you and its been fun getting into a paradox game properly
I think a cool way to "research technology" would be for industries to give research points for their related fields based on how profitable they are. For example a very profitable arms and munitions industry would put points into a random army tech (but shipyards put points into naval tech) and if these industries are super profitable then they produce more research points (industries with lots of money tend to be able to invest in improving their profits). This would incentivize the player to make sure they are exporting their weapons in peacetime and/or fighting wars constantly and/or subsidizing them directly. (these are all real processes that exist between governments and the MIC). This can work similarly for other industries; farms and plantations giving agri techs, resource industry giving their related techs, etc. For the player to have some control there should be some system that lets you declare a general research focus and/or give grants to industry and universities to research a particular tech and/or simply directly invest in or expand the industry of choice and make it more profitable. There might be some gameplay issues and balance problems that I am not aware of but I feel like at the very least that would be something cool to test out in some way and iterate on.
Laith Groups don't just gain power through your Country's Laws, Industrialization etc. But also how influential individuals from that group are for example your leader, Generals and Admirals your leader gives them influence but also promoting Generals and Admirals part of that group does as well your Monarch and one of your Generals and the Admiral were Landowners.
I think a good way to do tech would be the ability to have some passive research. It would be slower than directly researching something directly but it would make much more sense than all of serbia focusing on how to make a gun.
For a new type of research system in games: Maybe it could be done in the same way as Victoria 3 uses to approach wars. There's no direct control, it just goes rather naturally. Maybe the same should be done for research, in that a direction can be decided but it just flows naturally from there?
I think what makes hoi4's research work is the multiple research slots, the fact that like a real country you can focus on multiple things (like how you can do production and arms research and plans and all that shit all at the same time) makes it so you're not just tunnel visioning yourself to hell then the issue with hoi4 is that it's the only game with realistic research and then the rest of the game feel so static so this great dynamic feature just fits into this linear and kinda straight game, while vicky for example is great because it can be *so insanely different any game* the way the model politics in hoi is add an advisor that magically makes you do something, while in vic3 you have to cultivate your politics with dynamic choices you make! basically give vicky something like hoi's research
Sid meier's alpha centauri has a game rule where you tell your research labs to research into 4 categories. Conquest. Infrastructure. Colonization. Knowledge. It will randomly research a tech in the categories you chose for it to research
I actually think victoria 3 does the tech quite well. It punishes you quite heavily for going further then the current tech tier you're on (the focusing and doubling down parts) and also has the whole tech spread situation (if you actually invest in uni's that is) which keeps you up to date with what's around.
I usually just fight an early game civil war against the landowners and rush liberal reforms. They're such a pain in the fucking ass otherwise. An early game war is usually completely fine and won't derail you much.
I feel like ck3 did it correctly on the cultural innovations with the way all of them advance slowly by themselves and you can focus one to obtain it faster.
there's this 4x game called birth of the empire that does tech pretty well by allocating a percentage of research capacity to each tech. The game overall is clunky and boring, but it had nice mechanics.
Hi Laith, I may be wrong here because I haven't played the game much and I don't know if it was the case here but your conscription centres don't consume any goods until you mobilise them so there's no reason to not have them always at the highest level
I don't think you realise that focusing on hardwood production doesn't stop softwood production in your logging camps, and if you need both, you really should just build more logging camps and focus ALL of them on hardwood.
To your point about research, it should be more like cultural innovations in CK3, where all of it gets progressed but one “fascination” can progress faster with government help.
A good research system would be if you got passive research to each tech that you could research in the game you could foucus a section and this would give like a bonus to the passive research you got from that section. Your state should influence the research to if you are at war you would get a warfare tech boost, if you get your standard of living high enough you should get society tech boost, if you are industrializing then you should have production tech boost. Universities should specialize and the more you make the worse they should get so speed them out
apologyze my bro, just noticed that i wasnt suscribed after hours and hours watching your videos. Devastated. I have not much time to play for my job so for me its pretty much entertaining watching ur videos. Keep going bro, make the dream happen 😂🙂 wish u the best from Andalucía!
To be fair, inventing technology always seems really obvious in hindsight, but in reality (except for war scenarios like the world wars where the ones fighting were trying to get an edge with better technology) there just wasn't and never will be a chart showing you what can be discovered next and as a result of that what should be prioritized. Progress and discovery are just things that occur, especially with abstract concepts like "romanticism". I think it's a neccessary sacrifice games need to make to make technological progress as a mechanic possible. I wouldn't take it as literal as saying the state orders all scholars in the country to focus on discovering that one particular thing, but more like the player as the godly figur they are with all their knowledge pushing the country in a certain direction, which imo works for vicky 3.

You should colonize those 2 Algerian provinces. It makes your country look bigger which is the most important thing. Also they don't have malaria and are surrounded by provinces that do meaning you can take it slow. The Euros will have to break through malaria provinces first.

Dedicated Police helps with both turmoil and with Land Owner power. Seems like a win.
With doing hardwood production, you ARE doing both, you just produce a little less of the normal wood to produce the hardwood as well.
I think for immersions sake on how research works is that the particular research is now getting state funding so it’s why it’s so focused on
In Rule The Waves you do not pick what you research, you just picks areas to prioritize, like guns, submarine warfare, and etc.

Hi Laith, I may be wrong here because I haven't played the game much and I don't know if it was the case here but your conscription centres don't consume any goods until you mobilise them so there's no reason to not have them always at the highest level
I don't think you realise that focusing on hardwood production doesn't stop softwood production in your logging camps, and if you need both, you really should just build more logging camps and focus ALL of them on hardwood.
I never really noticed until now but it’s a nice song in the background
What’s it called?
To your point about research, it should be more like cultural innovations in CK3, where all of it gets progressed but one “fascination” can progress faster with government help.
CK3 Fallen Eagle Nova Carthago when?
Laith 0.0001 seconds after finding out there is a mod to reform carthage.
Independent Tripolitania just chilling there with free pops with zero attention from Laith lol
Unfortunately for Lathe, him going batshit insane over Lathe jokes happens to be the highlight of my day
A good research system would be if you got passive research to each tech that you could research in the game you could foucus a section and this would give like a bonus to the passive research you got from that section. Your state should influence the research to if you are at war you would get a warfare tech boost, if you get your standard of living high enough you should get society tech boost, if you are industrializing then you should have production tech boost. Universities should specialize and the more you make the worse they should get so speed them out
Ok now it's time for Carthage but in the mlp mod for hoi4
About the research they should do it like Vic 2 u get the main tech then subs techs unlock over time
They should get rid of hardwood production mode and just have a factory that makes them.
apologyze my bro, just noticed that i wasnt suscribed after hours and hours watching your videos. Devastated. I have not much time to play for my job so for me its pretty much entertaining watching ur videos. Keep going bro, make the dream happen 😂🙂 wish u the best from Andalucía!
Good video keep op the good video😂❤
Day 18 of thanking laith for playing more eu4 anbennar and asking him to either continue his jaddari run or play the command.
To be fair, inventing technology always seems really obvious in hindsight, but in reality (except for war scenarios like the world wars where the ones fighting were trying to get an edge with better technology) there just wasn't and never will be a chart showing you what can be discovered next and as a result of that what should be prioritized. Progress and discovery are just things that occur, especially with abstract concepts like "romanticism". I think it's a neccessary sacrifice games need to make to make technological progress as a mechanic possible. I wouldn't take it as literal as saying the state orders all scholars in the country to focus on discovering that one particular thing, but more like the player as the godly figur they are with all their knowledge pushing the country in a certain direction, which imo works for vicky 3.
Merry Christmas 🎅
Get's all his tools bought up by the French, is stuck in a huge tool deficit, does not impose tariffs to profit 😄
Great video, but how can I feel connected and engaged unless you shout out Laith Nation at the beginning?
"We cant do both, that would be stupid"
Says the stupid man not knowing you can expand the building tab to change them individually.
woag, I can't believe Laith has to fight Victoria 3 France, Victoria 3 Great Britain, Victoria 3 Italy AND Victoria 3 Spain! I bet he also needs to fight Victoria 3 Let's Play Tunis Victoria 3 Carthage formable Kongo !
i use an AI mod and in my greece game, the ottomans went bankrupt and their ranking plummeted and i was able to puppet them and eventually annex them. it was glorious. it was the first time i've seen a nation go bankrupt

The fact that the algerian coast is still controlled by France is quite painful to watch ngl
you have to show the achiev if is still on

I've heard TH-camrs praise vic3 for its speed but for me, it runs slower than hoi4 would with every mod installed at once. it takes me 5 minutes to go from morning to afternoon on 5 speed.

Get a mod that lets you pick decentralised states and play as Tuat.
is there any possiblity to find oil and other rss. from anywhere around earth in Vicy 3?
Ok, I thought I was already subbed, so when he said don't sub I looked and felt very sheepish as I did what I was told not to do.
Kinda weird how someone has made a mod where you can form Carthage in Vic 3 but not ck3
nah, when I saw Colombia beating Laith in that beattle I cheered them on as if it were a soccer game. Vamos colombia gonorreas
You should colonize those 2 Algerian provinces. It makes your country look bigger which is the most important thing. Also they don't have malaria and are surrounded by provinces that do meaning you can take it slow. The Euros will have to break through malaria provinces first.
Research question: anacreon the reconstruction
how do you get the private sector to pay for construction though?
Didn't know laith was turkisch , nice shirt
imagine country specific research
Hoi4 is great and Stellaris can be fun so is Crusader Kings 3, Paradox makes amazing games.
Love to see more
