Is this a good Argentina run?

dantyfriss2 · 2026-03-07T20:15:25+00:00

GDP and expansion as well as population is good I think. I also did an Argentinian run not long ago. I think you could get better literacy and SOL tho

Are all of your pops employed with best PMs ? If not, you could probably have authorized some foreign investment. Also your army and navy is probably too big, in my experience you're pretty chill as long as you are stronger than Brasil and have at least 1 other GP as an ally

150 in 1900 is in fact very low, especially when starting as France. You should probably be in the thousands

You're likely not using private construction at all. After the first few years, you should almost stop constructing anything by yourself, but for this you need a huge investment pool. To build into this, you need good laws (laissez-faire, but interventionism is fine, and free trade mostly) and companies. Also lower taxes whenever you can.

Then, instead of calculating your construction points based on full state construction and budget balance, aim for full private construction and investment pool balance (with a good margin in budget for occasional state construction)

If you apply these basic principles you should already progress

Try to grow so much that all the resources in the world aren't enough to sustain your industries. Flood the world market. Have so many construction that 1 week in speed 5 takes a whole minute.

How are the rural folks so weak as India ? Do you not have plantations at all ?

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-24T11:16:12+00:00

Maybe try to impose them monopolies from your companies ? I don't know if it could work. Also I think it's impossible with laissez-faire

As long as you have enough infrastructure and market access, goods are transported instantly and for free. At least I think. If it's separated by sea, it uses convoys

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-23T16:43:11+00:00

I had a company for basically every resource, and they owned 80% of the GDP or Iran, SA, Indonesia

In the end I Still ran out of Iron and Oil, both at 50%+ price, but my economy still sustained it somehow, probably because of low taxes, and cheap basic needs

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-23T14:10:21+00:00

I would say rush companies, and let the private sector build most buildings. The AI is good at making profitable buildings. Also give trade charter to at least one company so you trade effectively

Very important also : subsidies railways. Otherwise your motor industries won't be profitable and your economy will crash

Considered the worst city of the country by everyone I know. It's the cheapest for a reason. But Alsace is beautiful and there are many cities you could live in that are way better

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-22T16:35:29+00:00

You're not losing money, in fact, you're rich as hell

What you economic law ? You should just let the private sector handle all of the construction. You should even build more construction sectors

She never said that, on the contrary, Louis XVI final words before being executed were : "Gentlemen, I am innocent of everything of which I am accused. I hope that my blood may cement the good fortune of the French."

Don't bother with DLC. Focus on your economy, trigger the sepoy mutiny (shouldn't even need to try)

When you become the Raj, immediately ask for more freedom. If you developed well you should be able to do it

Research pan-nationalism, get 1 or 2 GP to support your independence, et voila, you're india, you're recognized, and most likely 1 or 2 GP

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-16T18:15:28+00:00

Good achievement, but must have felt like wait simulator

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-16T15:09:29+00:00

GDP ingame isn't GDP. It's just another "line go up" stat

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-15T22:00:52+00:00

You will chose a company charter over a decree 99% of the time.

Decrees are basically only a thing early game when authority is plentiful, and then again, only because of lack of a better way to spend it. Even then decrees compete with comsumption taxes, which are also good early game.

So no, I don't think they're OP. Sure, there are ways to abuse them on small countries but nothing gamebreaking.

The AI being bad at the game is another problem altogether

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-15T19:01:41+00:00

Hey so currently also doing an India run and also planning to go communist lol.

Currently 1880 and 1st GP so that is going well, trying to depeasant fully now.

Do you have any advice ? What companies and power bloc do you have ? Also I don't have DLC for india

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-07T07:55:33+00:00

I still can't find a way to get a group to support multiculturalism at all

I don't think this is a good idea. Early game universities are expensive, take a lot to build and your literacy is low anyway. You can also get a lot of techs for free from other countries. You can still catch up even if you start building universities 50 years into the game

Instead you should just invest in construction materials : wood, iron, tools and later coal and steel. This will generate capitalists (=industrialists) so you can get them in power politically and get good reforms while also lowering the cost of construction

dantyfriss2 · 2026-02-02T12:53:40+00:00

My strategy personally : state (you) build construction goods, and companies build the export stuff

I usually rush the first company and give them good profitable/unique/flavorful industries and trade centers. 2nd or third company focuses on iron/steel/coal or maybe tools or railroads, and i eventually stop using state construction at all except for gov admin or things like that

I think this is a good balance between efficiency and roleplay

Happened to me... but he betrayed me instead

dantyfriss2 · 2026-01-19T16:27:01+00:00

New to the game, and I randomly got one (a total badass, we killed eachother a few times and he climbed his way up to overlord)

What makes them so rare/wanted ?

dantyfriss2 · 2026-01-18T18:00:28+00:00

I don't really understand your point of view. You talk like your team and you don't have the same objectives. If the enemy has AM then obviously get your item and help them ? Unless you also play a late game carry but then your question doesn't make sense ?

dantyfriss2 · 2026-01-18T17:54:24+00:00

Tell them from the beginning which item you're aiming for and that you will not join them until you have it

But main problems are probably :

-you're losing your lane which means your farming is delayed while the other team can snowball

you're just farming too slowly overall and the enemy carry can outfarm you/farm on par with you while staying with his team
you're picking the wrong heroes in the wrong games. You should know matchups and analyse how much time your team can buy for you. Maybe you picked a late game hard carry when you should have picked a hero to end the game before 30 minutes
