  • Yay! We have power blocs! The question is, how do we grow them? I suggest the LCS Method, as explained in this video. It definitely works, although you may need to toss in an obligation from time to time. If you're going head-to-head with the Big Kids in building your power bloc, you'll need all the help you can get in making it happen - so learn the LCS method here and start YOUR power bloc TODAY! :-)
    My mod list is in my Discord server on the #victoria3 channel. If it was easier to do a Steam collection, I would have done one. :-)

    Just discovered your channel and love your content. Historian by training here (MA Ohio State 1996, worked on PhD for several years before leaving academia) and love your approach to the game. Also been fan of Victoria since Victoria 1 back in the early 2Ks (my Paradox nickname is OHGamer). I am also one of the developers of the Anno 1836 map rework mod and hope to be able to adapt it to 1.7.

      Hello there! My hope is for the official map to settle down so that map reworks may be applied in peace.

    Great overview! And a facsinating channel at that.
    An interesting situation you have noticed at 14:51: meat becoming more expensive on the Brazilian market as a predicted effect of exporting said meat to them. You were surprised, but isn't that a situation sometimes described in real economics? If so, could you please explain what would one call it and how it may be theorized? Also it is interesting if the game has the capacity to actually simulate some other outlier situations like that one. Thank you!

      That would be induced demand, where demand goes up because a good is more readily available than before. It could be because their standard of living increased and that triggered a demand for more meat. Not sure which is at play in the game, but one could easily be going hand-in-hand with the other.

    Hey man, thanks a lot for all the useful information. I've got a question, are you planning to do a detailed tutorial for Vic3, covering how to industrialise, increase GDP, build up the industry without bankrupting the country and such?
    Since the game has changed a lot..
    I like the way you explain things plainly and give examples, that's also how I teach.. it'd be nice to see you making a good in depth beginner friendly tutorial for the new patch :)

      It does look like 1.7 makes so many changes, *I* would benefit from doing a tutorial!

      @@An_Economist_Plays To be fair I'd love to see a tutorial from you. In depth going over important things in the game, steps of industrialization, what to build first trade and such.
      I think you're a great man and must have been a great teacher !!
      I've seen some tutorials on CZcams but watching the short stuff from your old tutorial series ( I found it today ) clarified a few things for me. So, if you do one, that'd be great ! :)

      Art History is my friend! I've got quite a bit of familiarity with 19th century and early 20th century art. The ones for this and the previous video were Gibson Girls, very popular in late 19th-century USA.

      Well, it was just a test. No war between the two on my next run-through.
