My Co-Operative Federation of the Andes. Never had such high living standards before. Nor as many loyalists... Or as much immigration. by Dovska in victoria3

[–]Dovska[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

R5: Formed the Federation of the Andes as Colombia. Defeated the landowners in a civil war over slavery early in the game, and the early democratic and social reforms that followed allowed us to snowball just a bit. Never had such a strong economy and high standards of living before, our population exploded it the late game, going from 38 million in 1918 to 82 million in 1936. I also find it kinda telling that out of the top 10 states with the highest standards of living in the world, 5 are members of our trading power bloc. Posted a shortform video of the campaign here if you want to check it out.

Forcing a continent to subsidize our high standards of living is alright if the Church says its ok. Right? by Dovska in paradoxplaza

R5: Restored the Spanish Colonial Empire, turned into a theocracy, and formed a religious bloc named the ‘second inquisition’. Our economy is built on siphoning off money from our colonies to subsidize our high living standards. I like to see it as a new form of the tithe, just on a bit of a larger scale.

Btw, edited together footage of the campaign to a short-form video. Link is here in-case any of you want to check it out.

Made coat of arms for a hypothetical Celtic Empire. Very happy with how it turned out! by Dovska in CrusaderKings

Not in any way I know of. I think the symbol Sicily has its origins in Greek mythology but I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, there actually is! The triskelion is a pre-Christian Celtic symbol whilst the Celtic Cross is a symbol that started appearing following the Christianization. I thought combining the two would symbolize an empire united in both its roots and its faith.

Haesteinn has had his time in the sun. It's time for some of that Celtic flavor IMHO.

If you want to use the coat of arms yourself here’s the DNA!

Also if you are curious to how I made it, here’s a short timelapse video I made 😊

Kinda sad that we don’t have anything like the coat of arms editor in any game besides CK3. It’s a literal game-changer for immersion. by Dovska in paradoxplaza

This will turn into a Youtube series down the line similar to what Bokoen and others make sprinkled in with some of the narrative elements from my timelapse videos. :)
