- Victoria 3 opium is one of those goods that can only be produced in a handful of provinces. Well, Victoria 3 afghanistan is one of those nations that can mass produce this product. Today, we don't need a victoria 3 guide to become the #1 opium producer worldwide. As this has huge health consequences, we get Qing addictied to Opium, as well as Russia and Great Britain.

Jesse we need to control the world drug trade
But Mistuh White, the Chinese are dying
At least opium is less harmfull than modernday hard drugs its basically smoking but more harmfull and addicting
@@llamaboioflusatia Jesse, does it look like I care? No. The only thing I care about is opium.
@@GwainSagaFanChannel it’s just as addicting, but you can make more money if you refine into heroin and painkillers
@@burtreynolds8030 not all painkillers are opioids.. you could have just said opioids instead.
the complete silence and reloads made me feel very threatened and as if my life was in active danger
What did He do there? I didn't understand.
@@omayaki5264 same
@@omayaki5264 he lost khavi as a vassal and was reloading to see if there was a way to keep them together i think
Laith showing him tag switching to force his peace is the embodiment on how horrible this intervention mechanic is
I love the game but I agree, nations intervene so much. It makes sense if their interests are at heart, but nobody would have cared about Belgium conquering Dahomey or whatever, France wouldn’t have dropped everything to save Dahomey for an obligation.
Yeah its so stupid sometimes. I am playing as Aceh to form Indonesia, and when trying to conquer my neighbour, Portugal decides to defend a OPM for an obligation which they can gain nothing useful from it
Or Spain trying to make me a dominion but in their two landings they lost then they didnt bother, so I had to tag switch to end the war in white peace otherwise it wouldn't have ended
Imagine being a russian fighting the british in west africa over an afghani claim in india
That sounds vaguely familiar, like the time Germany fought Russia and France because a Serbian shot an Austrian
and you are doing just to make opium addiction more affordable for your family!
@@Alex-hd9ef which happened because of monarchy
IDEA: Play as Persia and monopolize the entire gun market, so every time someone goes to war, you make a profit.
Man this season of breaking bad is wild
Hmm yes did you know the new season of better call saul
Heavenly kingdom either taking 90% of your population or 5% at complete random (Ah yes, 400 infamy for taking back your lands) is truly top tier paradox sand-boxing.
Wait, you get infamy for retaking the heavenly kingdom?
@@liamcassidy5992 yeah but you're Qing just ignore it and kill everyone
I did a similar run as Vietnam a couple days ago. You start with 1 province capable of producing opium and there's several more around you. I was a bit stupid and went to war with China for more opium production territory which made them embargo me so I lost my primary market. If you just keep going south you can keep Qing friendly and keep 'em high :D
Treaty port stops them from embargoing you and maked them unable to tariff your exports
@@Ivandrov Yes, but just sending it over the border with another war was in hindsight probably a lot easier.
@@Cohac Sure, afterwards. But, next time you go to war with your trade partner, and you want to continue trade for the forseeable future, then you take a treaty port. Everything else can be eventually reversed diplomatically, whereas a treaty port needs to be warred over.
"We also need a port" said in 1865 literally broke my heart. How could you manage to stay landlocked for SO LONG?
yeah, considering how small and weak Makran is I thought that'd be one of the first things he'd do
For those that don't know, Dust (Dost) mohammad at 2:41 was the general who later became the Regeant King, and then the King of the resurgent Afghani Kingdom. He single-handedly united the former core Afghan-Durrani empire territories and secured Afghanistan proper. The elders who elected him as regeant gave up on ousting him because of his modernization and reformist policies that rapidly militarized and modernized Afghanistan. He then went onto kick the Brits' teeth in, helped free Afghanistan from British occupation, and unite Afghanistan by finally conquering Herat where he declared war on Persia. Basically, the current Afghanistan came to be known as Afghanistan during his reign (minus the Sharia laws). Not quite as awesome as Ahmad Shah Durrani, but a badass nonetheless! Caspian Report has a great 3-part series on the Graveyard of Empires, highly recommend watching it!
you should continue this and try to get the world addicted to opium
Someone call the constabulary!
Finland challenge:
1. Become the number 1 producer of paper
2. Move on to become the number 1 producer of telephones as the monopolized indestructible Nokia empire
Optional 3. Become the "Happiest country in the world" by having the highest living standard in the world and as few radicals as possible
I played Afghanistan as soon as Vicki3 was released. Selling opium round the world and drugging Qing is pretty damn hilarious ngl
When I did this I became a Russian protectorate so I could access there market. It was going well until I decided to go independent and my economy crashed.
@@alinaqi9862 I'm like 200m GDP in 1870 or smtng
Play as Kazakh and become the largest exporter of Potassium
And have an alliance named Kazakh-Potassium-Klub
@@batughanuzun alternatively if you find that to be a mouthful, then just use the abbreviated version K-K-K
And make it greatest country in the world because all other counties are run by little girls
Can Kazakhstan have banana plantations?
Alt title: Laith breaks bad
you can pause construction centers in the budget menu instead of destroying them, it keeps them idle so you don't have to rebuild them later. Hope this helps
how do you pause individual ones, I could only find how to pause them all at once?
@@dbpeel You can't
I'd love to see a Persia or Egypt campaign
An Egypt campaign into Arabia is really fun
Game changing information was when playing France that Eastern/Western mali states had opium. Became number 1 producer with two meh provinces since i maxed them. Also won every way since i rushed field hospitals and was the only one who could use em due to supply, and liberating east india company away from GB.
Please continue this campaign, I wanna see the entire world consuming lots of opium
The graveyard of empire’s Treasuries
Playing a minor country in Victoria 3 is the equivalent of debt-spiraling in eu4.
Depends on certain things^^
Heisenberg in afghanistan
I hate your profile picture
@@TheSocialStreamers average light mode user L
I love the sounds from Victoria 3, so satisfying
you definitely have the most entertaining themes for your vicky 3 vids
i really liked the mexico run so it would be cool to see that but if not a gran colombia or cuba run would be cool
"Don't get high on your own supply." -Afghanistan, 1865
I'd love to see a campaign as the Zulu and make them a major power or something!
Form a south american nation in eu4 like brazil or colombia and CONQUER
Play as Lanfang, reach 20 SoL by 1840 and have every Chinese person immigrate to you. Overpopulation mod is recommended
So much fun
I've never had this many loyalist in my country before, probably because I haven't enacted any laws. Relatable.
"Flag on the play" Laith has been watching American football hasn't he.
France dominated in my (USA) game too....untill they broke apart into 3 different countries without them even losing any war. This game has some great alternative history haha.
debug_mode - he's at it again :D
I want to see you play Brazil. Some provinces have +20% bonus to mining and amazon rainforest provides +25% to hard wood output. Also Brazil is close to New Granada (1 country in between) from wich you can take the Panama Canal before USA. You then have options to take Central America or South America (or both).
10:50
Montage of Laith being Pissed as F***
Praying for a sequel
Thats why in my current Germany campaign I went and slapped Egypt for their opium production :P
Laith is joining the war on drugs...
on the side of drugs!
Very entertaining and glad to hear I am not the only one who has the French take over the world every game.
It's really late game stuff due to how oil is used, but Getting *most* of the world's oil production to be in your market and not really selling outside of that market.
This is how i found your channel 👍 😊
I gotta say I cringed the whole time he went to war with literally everybody but Makran to get those ports ;-;
yes and the serfdom on 0% instead of canceling it and trying again in 12 months... oof
More Victoria 3 please
Laith sat down one day and thought: “I suck in GTA, but I love gang warfare. Let’s bring it to Vicky so I can do it.” Mate xD
growing opium in central asia while a famine hits seems like a classic british move
this looks like an interesting game although i cant work out how armies and battles work... does it just fight randomly? does the player not even control the armies?
No you dont really control them. just assign them to a front, upgrade them, appoint generals and stuff like that. But in this game it sort of makes sense because even in a war you are most likely busy growing your economy or just preventing it from collapsing XD
pro tipp for laws: get your armed forces in instead of rural folk, enact army, police and internal stuff so the landowners are less powerful and then abolish serfdom... also: higher legitimacy and EXCESS AUTHORITY reduce enactment time for laws................ dont spend it all on roads. additionally: a customs union is bad because russia gets opium... for free
Hi, i like painting maps with blood crayon
“When you walk through the garden…”
I would love that game to work this well on my pc
Fighting the war on drugs, on the side of drugs 😃
Day 2 of asking Laith to do a world conquest as Equatorial Guinea
Laith to abolish sefdom you have to reduce landowners politcal strength, you can do this by enacting laws that reduce it such as changing from peasant conscription, hereditary bureaucrats or whatever else, I usaully pass about 5 or 6 laws weakening the sunni and landowners groups while strengthening industrialists and intelligentsia before im able to abolish serfdom
Should've done it as Galicia Volhynia
Working as intended.
I have to do this now
I really wanna see you try a real campaign to make something out of Lahej
This game is so much harder to make CRAZY video worthy content with. I still enjoyed the video but I empathize with you as a content creator trying to make new videos with a game that just isn’t cooperating.
Considered some sort of Australia run? I presume they're playable, and have something like the massive pile of natural resources they do naturally
saw ISP play a game as them (like the one vid he made on vic3, and it's mostly showcasing why he thinks it's bad) and they seem to have a ton of gold so there's that. didnt really notice much else
Russia does historically love their Copium
if this is like victoria 2 at all you need to make afganistan no longer landlocked in order to get rid of a terrible modifier.
Am I the only one that thinks the song that plays on the back of all this guy's videos heavily invokes Sex and the City?
Jesse i have became Afghanistan jesse
Hey been watching your vids and saw the mexico one from a couple days ago, you were complaining about running out of pops. Turns out you can basically never run outta pops if you switch to multiculturalism + No migration controls + Separation of church and state. This combo means everyone is accepted in your nation and so they all view it as a potential migration point, which means that as long as you have good standard of living in those areas you will have constant supply of immigrants ready to work in your factories, this plus constant expansion and reinvestment into construction results in easy 1Bil eco everytime
Only if you have high standard of living, otherwise this works against you and all your pops will leave
What did the seperation of church and state do?
@@remington2216 if i remember right it makes you a more attractive immigration target because you don’t discriminate against other religions and also it makes other religious groups less radical
Indian Independence Vicky 3 video?? 👀
greetings brooo🍀🚬
THE "HEAVENLY KINGDOM" THING SEEMS COOL. YOU CAN TRULY BECOME THE BROTHER OF JESUS
Menus, menus, menus
Try releasing Croatia from Austria and form Yugoslavia. I got lucky and joined Britain's market without becoming a protectorate so got it done before the turn of the century.
I still have to see someone playing Italy in this game, you could be the first
Mate, you don't need to break Victoria 3. 'Tis already broken.
How do you declare an interest when you don't own the land?
Play one of the Boer nations and prevent the disaster of the Second Boer War by taking over south Africa.
You really need ports to get good prices for exports.
Gotta love that version of the Afghan flag. Just pure black. Marvelous.
Play as the cape colony
I mean you have to try and take over ther mediterranian as tunis .... if that is even possible
It just so happens that a few hours before I came to this video, I looked up the biggest consumers of heroin, and found out that Afghanistan apparently produces 85% of the necessary substances for it. The universe works in strange ways...
Can someone explain to me why Afghanistan has a black flag?
Yarr they are pirates!
Laith, please try to play a nation in Southeast Asia!
I would like to see you become a massive colonial nation in Vic3
Is chocolate a trade good? If so try to become Cadburys.
I was trying the exact same thing today before seeing this video, only problem being : I was not able to export Opium to ANY country XD
OK, so about runs ideas and all, I may have one : being the number one producer of oil in late game but only producing it by killing whales
I stopped playing until they fix the vassal randomly releasing problems
>makes video about drugs
>18:25 "We're too high" 🤔
The Opium Caliphate
vassals/puppets/... go independants when you lose your interest in a region. One way to avoid that is to get a state everywhere you want subjects.
I forgot that opium was in the "intoxicant" class of goods. Hence its demand peaks at relatively low standard of living and is present even for pops way down in the "starving" range, e.g. peasants. Add to this the inherently limited supply in the world, the "obsession" effect from its consumption, and limited competition from other goods -- liquor the AI doesn't produce because groceries themselves are an under-performing, nonessential industry, and tobacco that has to be imported from the New World with limited convoys -- and I think it's actually a good product to specialize in, memes aside.
Not only that but the army uses a lot of it for a very critical function which is field hospitals. Fighting someone with field hospitals when you don't have them is basically suicide unless you outnumber/outpower them significantly.
The heavenly kingdom 1850s!? How!? I'm purposely trying to get them to spawn so I can play them and it just isn't working...
World Conquest
When Peru South America take over!
If the AI wasn't incompetent this would be impossible without taking the northern territories of the indian subcontinent since those opium farms can have up to 1200 farms. A paltry 60 is not gonna do anything. Ming also has two I think with a limit of 1k. Also you could have gone the extra mile and removed any other farms. Opium shares it's space with other plantation type resources such as wheat. Who needs grain?
could you play dutch east indies?
Wait, does Laith play at max game speed on every strategy game?
yes
@@TheSocialStreamers based
Lanfang Republic pls
Play Austria with the explicit intention to drag everyone into multiple world wars
You don’t need Austria for that. Just try to get the French Treatyport and watch the world burn because Britain added a treatyport in Provence
English in afgani land for drugs, in monark time. I do like real history runs...
Be America
Own all oil
12:45 my God those CHEATS
