Starting Steps, How to, Starting a Game, Beginning - Hry
This dude knows what his talking about. Look at him! He even became bald because of this game, and he teach us! He saves our hair and time! Honorable man!
I tear my hair out so you don't have to
This is one of the best beginner guides I have seen for any game. Thank you for realizing that beginner isn't the same as idiot and actually explaining the reason behind all your advice.
Glad I got this feedback because I was worried about overexplaining stuff at the beginning. It's tough because I've forgotten what it's like to have under 100 hrs so I'm not always sure if I'm overexplaining
@@generalistgamingcomes off as objective facts. Also you show all the places where you can see the info on the UI 💪
Gonna be a CZcams sign on your wall soon 🤩
@@generalistgaming An important fact to remember I think when making guides is that a lot of people starting on Vicky3 comes from other Paradox games. If someone from any other game saw this guide, they'd likely be overwhelmed. However, as someone with over 3k hours in EU4 (+ probably ~800 in CK2/3, some in HOI3/4), the complexity isn't something new. We are mostly after a in-depth guide on how to thrive in a game with equally complex mechanics, but in a completely different direction. I just wish you had this level of market- and diplomatic complexity in EU4. That would honestly have been a near perfect game to me! I just love how deep the economic focus is in this game.
Agreed. This video strikes that perfect balance between explaining how things work without going full "you're a complete idiot, heres how to move the mouse pointer" which a lot of 'beginner' guides do for a lot of games.
Guides are BACKKKK 😭😭
LOOKS LIKE GUIDING'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS
I SMELL GUIDEFLESH!@@JB-xl2jc
Man deserves more subscribers, carrying VIC 3 on his back
This guide is so much better than all the “do what I do as I get millions from this factory, who needs contexts or the basic underlying logic guiding why I’m doing this and not that” guides out there I’ve seen before. Thanks for doing these!
You are the greatest guide to Vic 3 by far. As the game gets better and more popular, you will be noticed as much as you deserve to be. Keep up the great work and thanks for making the game more accessible and fun
Glad you think so!
This legit was so direct, concise, well put together. Really helped me finally start to understand this game
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome guide, helped me alot and really useful for new vic3 players!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@generalistgaming Seconded, really helpful guide with some good points I hadn't considered. Would you consider making a guide on the best way post 1.5 (and the local vs market good divergence there) to make a targeted push to increase average SoL and the SoL of the lower strata? I find it easy to pump them to the low double digits but pushing it any higher has been tougher IMO.
SoL might be a topic that comes up more in the context of politics and migration videos@@JB-xl2jc
24:55 I love the fact that there's an enjoyable game mechanic that involves stimulating the economy. Like we can actually do it and see the results, while also having fun invading neighbours in the 19th century. Truly amazin times
remember when running out of peasant, adding more automation is practically the same as "creating pops", which will once again be available hires for new buildings.
1 vote for getting this guy as a minister of finance in The Netherlands IRL. He seems quite witty.
Belgium too please.....
Amazing work as always! You are my favorite streamer to watch and I wanted to ask if it is possible to make a guide on how smaller/unluckier (geographically) nations like Greece could become great powers. I would like to see some cheesy tactics and the economic, technologic and warfare tactics that we would need to apply to form lets say Byzantium and Rome (in case of Greece). I know you already played Greece but so many things have changed that it is not comparable anymore. Thank you for your hard work! You are much appreciated!
Loving the title cards for the chapters, looking really good!
Glad you like them!
Great Video. Helps me understand more about the basic functions of Vicky 3. I've heard tips like "raise the sol" and "just keep spending" a lot but this video explains why that actually helps!
I just played a game of Vicky 3, thought about a lot of econ stuff I could've done better, and now this guide just solidifies, corrects, and shows me more things I missed. Great video. Thanks for making it.
Glad I could help!
God sent! Bravo, simply a masterpiece in explaining everything as simply and thoroughly. This is the chefs kiss of economic videos for all of Victoria 3. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sir, I double salute you! Fantastic guide. Really comprehensive and on point. The way you show where to look and understand the numbers is a huge help. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Really well made guide overall. Really helpful, easy to follow and easy to understand. Well done Sir. :)
This was a great introduction to Vicky 3.
Played alot of CK and EU4 but just picked up V3.
This is basically the demo I was trying to make the video for
Thanks for making this for the new influx of players. Really enjoyed!
My pleasure!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on local prices and strategies related to that in future videos!
Was watching your Brazil stream to understand how you were doing all that, perfect timing!
This video was exactly what I needed, I already have a pretty decent understanding of how economy works but after watching this I realise I still have a lot to learn in terms of really optimising my economy and investing into that construction loop. Thanks a lot!
awesome, thanks man, please do more guides, tips videos!
More to come!
Man, I literally dreamed of this before 1.5 dropped. Thank you again, Mr! 🎉❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you I very much look forward to deploying this knowledge when I get home from work
Wonderful!
by far the best video on vic3 economics out there.
I just came back with 1.5 from launch. Some things has stayed the same, but a lot has changed. Thanks for the recap!
Welcome back!
Great guide, I feel like I finally understand it!
Great video man, I’d love to see more videos like this one. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
"Shout out to 1 Loyalist"
"Shout out to drugs"
i'm dying
and you say it so quick too
Always enjoyable to watch your videos!
Glad you like them!
Awesome content as usual.
Top tier.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for this guide. Finally a guide on this game I can actually understand because you've explained how it works and the reasoning behind it. All the best :)
Glad I could help!
oh my god I learned SO MUCH from this video - instant sub, thanks for the excellent video!
Thanks for the sub!
Really good thumbnail and timing 👍I hope to see your channel grow
I appreciate it!
You deserve way more than 10,000 subs man. Great stuff.
I appreciate that!
Great vid as always! Will there be a military guide later? You're vids inspired me to buy the game and that's the part of the game that has confused me the most so far.
Probably, I need to test after they fix the subjects pushing problem
Amazing video, I've been trying to find guides to playing this game and I was bored out of my mind with every video but yours.
Glad to hear it!
Best vic 3 creator, awesome guide!
Thank you for making a good guide, all the search was giving me were bad let's plays.
Bro... I just found out about you on reddit looking for guides for beginners and this comes up. Lucky me.
Glad I could help!
You channel is amazing, thank you for the guides
Glad you like them!
Excellent video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Very informative, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This was excellent, thank you for making it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this guide, i just got in Victoria and this helps a lot. Not gonna lie I hope for more tutorials for this new update
cheers
Just dropped the second one!
Brilliant explanation!! 👏 🎉 Thank you very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
perfect guide as always🎉
Glad you think so!
Nice guide man, thanks. Starting my 5th run with Brazil
Have fun!
Great video my guy
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you very much!!! Really useful guide :)
Glad it helped!
Fantastic video, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I think we all would appreciate more of this kind of content 😜
Haha, I was hoping you would make a video about this since the 1.5 changes. You heard my prayers. 🙏
Of course!
Thanks man
good stuff
👍
THX Buddy! Keep it up. 1.5 many changes
I have over 500 hours in the game. And this guide really helps lay out every step so cleanly
Awesome guide! I wish I just watched your guide instead of spending countless hours figuring out how to manage an economy in my first playthroughs 😂.
I swear every time you went “here’s a mistake a beginner might make” you featured something I did in one of my first playthroughs lmaooo
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a bit disappointed (unless I missed it) there wasn’t a comment about a loud vehicle going by in this vid.
Seriously though dude, your vids are top notch. Keep up the great work.
It was raining so not a lot of cars going over the speed limit and the window was closed xD
finally a new econ guide!
Thank you for making indepth guides like this. I love this game, but suck at it 😂
Great, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
If how long it took to learn other paradox games is any indication, your videos have saved me hundreds of hours of trial and error to get the results that I want without leaning on cheats. Definitely agree with other comments saying you deserve more subs
Glad to save you some time!
Greate Video. Helped me a lot
Glad to hear it!
just so you know homeboy.. your the guy we come too for this victoria 3 video crap and we love you for it thank you sensei
Thank you!
Only 10k subs ??? You have the most helpful tutorials
This might sound silly but this video helped me realize that if I want more production of something (like if I want the #1 spot for that good) then I don’t want to just build that building but also the buildings that buy it so my pops also want it.
Example: if I want to be number one in steel production then I’ll also build motor industries and railways to consume those engines
that was helpful thanks.
You're welcome!
Quality gaming 💪
Loved the vid, very helpful as usual! Have there been any changes to qualifications in 1.5? That's one area of the game that I still don't quite understand
Overall depressed SoL and economy hurts qualifications a bit. They feel a lot more important, and now I think building a single uni around places if you can't access education is going to be more reasonable than before.
@@generalistgaming oh nice, that makes them make more sense. Especially in the context of MAPI and local prices. Before it always felt like universities had such a random effect on it. That's such a great change!
Awesome!! I would like a Sikh Empire run once more & empire under the pun, with the new mechanics..
Thank you very helpfiul
You're welcome!
The man definitely defended PhD work dedicated Vic3! It's like reading economics thoughts of XIX century, great game!
Thank you!
Nice thanks
This was an excellent guide, will you be going into more detail on SoL in a future video? It's different effects and how to think about raising it?
I'd not planned on a SoL video specifically, but my tax video talks quite a bit about SoL as it relates to taxes, and I am putting together notes for a migration video that will talk about SoL to some degree

I just saw an ad trying to load. And then my adblocker killed it with no mercy. Praise adblock!
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I probably wouldn't make tutorials if it weren't for those ads.
Thanks for this video!
I will definitely use your advice in my next game, and I have a small but incredibly important remark.
Your vision is applicable to countries with already implemented Interventionalism when capitalists are kings but there are tons of countries with Traditionalism and Agrarianism.
I mean w/ the traditionalist/agrarian countries you want to be doing much the same thing.
@@generalistgaming yes, but the investor's pool will pay only for agrarian enterprises.
The strategy is indeed the same but requires being more careful with the balance until you get rid of traditionalism/agrarianism
you're a fucking legend I am enjoying the game but keep wrecking my economy and this helped me out as a new player.
Fast tips for beginners:
1) Always keep you cash flow balance near zero, how? Spending in Construction sites.
2) Always make a buffer balance to change the ways of construction (you will need it WHEN you do it)
3) Import primary goods (food, plants, etc)
4) construct mineral raw materials as needed (try to keep it 0%)
5) always focus on industries
6) An ideal price for a good is 0%, even if it was 75% or better if it war -75%, how to do this? Or export, or create a demand.
7) Always starts with Tools Workshop, it is the TUTORIAL industrie of the game, if you gotta the ideia, you gotta de game.
8) Never TAX products your low strata uses (Grains, Meat, Cloths or even Coal or Wood) because you need them to improve them situation
9) Tax the rich people products and Services (the only thing poor people should be taxed)
10) The most important taxation method is the most new, so move as soon as possible.
great guide even when I'm 100hours in the game already, provided a lot new thinking
Glad to hear it!
Thanks, m8! Would be cool to get a full military guide too. Pretty please.
I think I have to wait for 1.5.10 and then get a feel for it before doing a mil one
@@generalistgaming Aw, I've installed the new patch, played for half an hour, and gave up so I decided to search for videos about it. Guess I'll have to brute force the learning when I get enough motivation to try again.
I'm probably going to start recording a mil tutorial tomorrow because it's pretty in demand@@PasOdMater
@@generalistgaming Great, tnx!
"If it's free it's for me - shout out to my one loyalist". I died
Hey dude! aweasom guide, tarifs next? so can people learn to take advantage on being a good exporter of a product? I have been enjoying a lot 1.5, the changes to the economy, specialization of building and the changes to the military are just chef kiss.
IDK what they did or it was just me that learned the market, eco and the political system all in one gameplay setting but now im enjoying vic 3 more than ever, i guess if you play a paradox game and just autopilot the game is gonna be boring...
now i can confortably recommend vic 3 to anyone that likes deep strategy and i do mean deep, still salty about the egalaterian changes but thats okay ill grow out if it eventually.
The short answer to tariffs is that they're bad - you'd rather have increased trade volume than extract money through tariffs for the most part.
Did you have any advice MAPI regarding autonomous private construction ? Do you notice they build in "bad province" despit if you try to centralize in order to boost mapi ?
Thanks for these tutorials, both this one and your other videos. Quick question - what do you do when other countries import large majority of your input goods? For example if you are generating 500 iron, need 300 for yourself but 400 is getting exported away? And when you build even more, more just gets exported.
This is probably a good thing for you, as it makes the industries more profitable and the prices were likely depressed somewhat. If you build more construction and drive up the price of the inputs then they will stop anyway.
This is a great series! How much did PDX pay?
I paid them xD
I find it amazing that in your footage there is literally exactly 1 loyalist in the country 😂
Shout out to that 1 loyalist 🎉
You should do a late era economics guide right when rubber and electricity start to matter
谢谢!
You're welcome!
Great overview! In sum: there are no simple solutions; it all depends what your immediate goals are.
That bit about "Chainsaw production being worst in the game;" that sounds bad, like . . . they need to tweak the late-mid to late- game mechanics that are making that problematic?
It's so bad that I think they just imputed the value somewhere and it's wrong. It's not even close
16:03 technically not profitable buildings can too add money to the economy(while productivity > 0), because when a building pays workers wages it add money into economy.(ofc will a building fire someone is another question)) Love your content. Wait for new tutorials.
Ah, yes, I think the logic on this checks out. Value is probably getting nuked somewhere else though if your building is breakeven.
You definitely earned a sub with this video. 39 minutes of nothing but helpful information.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub!
Can you do a guide for SPQR achievement? I am trying the italy reunification and its hard
Man, the cinematics for remade guides! 😄
Also, what are the general effects of introduced local prices for joining someone else's market?
It seems sonewhat worse, since you get their shortages (UK has iron shortage for like the first 10 years a least, yeah) and do not benefit that much from their cheaper goods, like consumer ones, still having to build them for your core states.
great videos, learned a lot so far, thanks for that.
i still have a question or problem, maybe you know a way around or some advice:
currently i am playing with Prussia, formed the German Empire and i am already at 1900. Economy is at 400B(top 1) and i am attracting all the Migrants, so my states like Schlesien have over 2Mill unemployed working force while the economy is build strong in there. But for 30yrs or so, i have a problem which becomes more and more severe, my buildings simply dont hire anyone anymore, the explanation of the tooltip is that the wages are too low for the unemployed people to work there whilest my buildings are still profitable. So it seems i need to get the wages higher for the pops in the buildings but how can i do that?
i already have a law which gives higher minimum wages but so far it doesnt solve the problem. Also my education is about 80% so its unlikely that my pops are too uneducated to work there(btw where can i look it up if pops cant be hired because of missing education?).
so how can i get the wages higher, so that the unemployed pops become willing to work in my buildings again? Also i have heard, that i might "overbuild" in the states, since i simply put lots of profitable buildings on auto increase and maybe the problem comes from that.
would be very helpful if you can give me an answer about it. Or maybe there is even a video about this problem in particular. Thanks again for your work!
I just started the game and I learned that some people hate the autonomous investment pool. Do you turn it off too ? If yes, is the AI that bad or it is because you are a control freak ?
From what I understand it also makes the landowners 10X harder to beat because they keep building stuff that help them.
Of the construction inputs, fabric seems to be the exception. Is it generally better to set up import trade routes for fabric, and thereby avoid empowering the landholders and slavers? Or, is it better to allow a little extra clout for those guys to keep the construction cost reliably low?
I think you import, but also start building after pumpjacks or 800m GDP
