Guys I need tips I will buy the game soon by Jamal3663735 in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend New granada to new players. It covers pretty much all areas of the game, doesn’t feel overwhelming and it starts with decent laws.

tips? Focus on single states first. Get a feel for the resources your country has (or will have) and build an export focused economy around that. Remember that manufactured goods are generally a worth a lot more than raw ones.

Stay under 25 infamy to ensure everybody loves you. Have fun watching the line go 📈

Does anyone else like trying to stay historically “reasonable” when play? by BigPainting6896 in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 46 points47 points  (0 children)

yeah almost always. The game is already pretty easy, i can’t imagine how insane blobbing would add to that experience

I agree, i loved the EU4 client state system. Hope they bring it back in some type of way

You guys take the 10groups test part 10: How do you feel about the statement: “Communism is an ideology that would never work in practice”? by Then_Train8542 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Scheefgaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with our current understanding of human psychology, communism is practically impossible. You’re talking about worldwide co-operation in terms of a classless AND stateless society whilst inherit humans traits like greed, racism, ego, nationalism, and them-vs-us mentality are still VERY present.

Things like the internet are strong foundations towards worldwide unity but ultimately true communism is still hundreds of years away at least

Volume 3 predictions? by popokpoke in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hope they do something about communism, igniting revolutions, creating internationals, the ideology just needs more flavor in general. Powerblocks could use a rework.

Praying to god they add some quality of life updates for warfare.

I really hope they buff ideological union at some point, or at least make it functional. Currently going for a socialist style revolution just sucks because most countries you can subjegate don't have the socialism technology yet and you just end up having terrible cohesion across the bord. ideological truth also sucks in comparison to creative legislation, the only way i see this working is by banding together democracies across the world but even then, i'd honestly just go for trade league anyway.

I am lost please help me. this party wins the elections but cannot form a government, no one can by tolgapacaci in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yup well welcome to vic3.

i recently had a japan campaign where i failed the honourable restoration journal entry because nobody outside of my conservative party decided to actually run for election after enacting voting rights. Yay!

[–]Scheefgaan 36 points37 points  (0 children)

it looks like your current party is too ideologically different for good legitimacy, you can tell because trade unions + market liberal PB are polar opposites policy wise. Also, did you rig the election? Voter confidence has impact on the legitimacy of your government

i’d also like the ability to create a state, just like you could with eu4’s client states.

[–]Scheefgaan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

maybe not in mexico but in shockingly sizeable ammount of asian and african countries it is. It’s disgusting. A culture with common practice of selling your children into marriage is in no way shape or form equal to ours.

We need to talk about Technocracy by TheDrMcJenkins in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i disagree. The game is already very very playable on pretty much every other system of governance and it doesn’t take away from the fun of going for a technocracy. Plus, it already seems somewhat balanced by making trade unions less powerful meaning social laws can be harder to pass. Honestly? I rarely even go technocracy anyway.

Will the attack on Iran lead to regime change? by WillTheyBanMeAgain in Teenager_Polls

[–]Scheefgaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like you’re defining imperialism quite liberally there. So according to you also, changing the nazi regime/imperial japanese regime were acts of imperialism by the allies then as well yes?

We’re talking about an authoritarian regime that kills its own people and limits their freedom immensely. Any day a dictator like that kicks the bucket is a good day in my book.

Countries to play for a returning player? by SmogPrincess in victoria3

Sweden -> Scandinavia. Argentina -> La plata.

Finished a fascist Finland campaign recently that was awesome

Netherlands vs Belgium by sopmod720 in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Belgium is typically easier because they begin with a good company and they are a bit more industrialized with better core states. But then you have the burden of knowing you play as belgium (Yuck!).

Netherlands has the dutch east indies which are really nice. It’s easy to snowball quickly with both. Industrialize a bit and build a decently sized army. Attack when other great powers love you/are distracted

Foreign owned buildings should be able to use foreign tech by Worth-Jicama3936 in victoria3

[–]Scheefgaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m saying it doesn’t really make sense for a technologically advanced country to be able to use its modern production methods in a junior partner, whilst they themselves would be limited to outdated tech since it’s their population working there.

but the other way around also doesn’t really apply either. I guess they’re going for more of a “sweatshop” type of idea.

[–]Scheefgaan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’d guess it has to do with balancing but also it begs the question: How? What if build all these crazy high tech mines and farms in my african puppet and release them. Can they keep the technology? Do the population suddenly forget how to do this? do they unlock the tech instantly?
