- Sorry about the wait lads but here is a new Victoria 2 video where we play as Portugal. Shout out to my commenters who suggested this one, you know who you are, and also thanks to this guy whose strategy I (loosely) followed in this video:
• How to Take Over ALL o... - Hry
you know when someone is a map gamer when they say constantinople
It was only after WW1 that ataturk renamed it to Istanbul, so its historically accurate to call it so
That's what it was called until like, 1930, therefore encompassing the vast majority of this Victoria's playtime.
Or a Greek etno-natianalist
@@sunjarty8521Or any Greek since the city is still called Constantinople in greek
@@LordSandwich27 Exactly, it so funny how greek government and most of the greeks still call it Constantinople, all the while it's modern name is of greek origin anyway. Show really how for them it's not really about city being greek historically, but it being centre of the greek Empire like some sort of sick nostalgia.
Really loved the insight on King Leopold! Adding real history to the videos on top of the Vic 2 is a neat combo.
Hey you make probably the best Vic2 vids around, keep it up! Anyway, I think a Sweden video would be interesting. Maybe trying to bring them back to their pre-Great Northern War heights and clowning on Russia as much as possible could be interesting.
Love that you continued with the random historical facts from reading, and the editing is really just top notch.
I hope your channel keeps growing
15:40 That Greece & Turk meme honestly cracked me up lol
"Treaty of Tordesillas must be enforced"
Honestly I really like the format of gameplay mixed with relevant history facts and photos. Makes things a lot more interesting and unique, really cool editing homie. Keep it up
Hey, you played my country! Awesome
This is the content i love to see, 10-20 min videos on a whole victoria campaign, no 20 video long playlist of one playthrough. Keep it up man!
Possible playthrough ideas?;
Japan, Westernize and than go to the new world for some "colonies"
Italy, Get a colony or state on every available continent
Russia, Create the Warsaw pact a hundred years too early?
I appreciate the ideas brother, they have been written in my notes app lol
Love the Sade reference 😂
Looking back on this video im reminded that the population mechanic could still have used some extra coding. It makes no sense that colonies cannot lose pops to emigration. While i realize the age of Slavery was mostly over especially with the UK putting an end to the trade i feel there could have been at least some movements ie the note about the King of Congo being worried about the loss of pops to slavery.
On a side note while modding the game i came across a mechanic where pops are semi random at the start of the game to an extent. Some smaller pockets of pops move around to neighbouring provinces at the start of the game, would have liked that to continue later into a campaign.
I think there should be definite like "colonial policies" that a nation can put into place for given states similar to eu4 (assimilation/expulsion/financial extraction/prestige) I don't think any game developer would do that for this time period though because of certain sensitive historical events. They can get away with it in EU4 because it isn't so controversial I guess. In crimeamod pops move between colonial states but not into full states or full emigration out of the country which I think is really cool. With this there is a whole other conversation to be had about new people groups created by colonialism that I am interested what PDX does in Vic 3, especially with the hybrid culture stuff they started in CK3.
The KING is back!!!
Great video
Lore of This Portugal Strategy is BROKEN in Victoria 2 momentum 100
The king posted
Love the video but that thumbnail gave me a bad first impression. I expected a clickbait or edgy video but your style and informative presentation are fantastic! I’m subscribed but I hope you get to make more unique thumbnails
Hecking cool dude
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
play mughals next lol
Coast to coast L.A to Chicago 6:43
The Portuguese were Smooth Operators for sure
Hmm yes the resurgence of portuguese empire 🇵🇹 🗿👌😎👍
It would be cool if you played some DoD maybe Bohemia or one of the three eastern American guys
2:09 Damn, the Portuguese are evil af.
A map gamer who isn't blatantly racist... Thank you God
Play as Israel and form Germany
Will you ever play crimeamod again?
I'm not opposed to it but it takes a little longer to get through a campaign... I need to break up my recording into shorter segments lol
@@enochinri That would be nice! I think doing 2 epdisodes on the same country would be reasonable in such a case.
what about a Romania game? wanna see you become a colonial empire starting mega small, that would be cool
so we both watch thecoolrev's vid
PORTUGAL CARALHOOO
Yeah, the fact Wiz thought we all loved full communism all clicks, but he then hates communism, is deeply hilarious
Play sokoto
[.America gets Revange On The European.]
P.O.V. YOUR BRITISH [.Oh Well At Least Got A Cup Of Tea Looking At American Soldiers Invading There Town.]
what wod bcuz the map looks diff
Moon map mod
What happened to your mic man
I have been playing around with the audio settings on the editing software I use... What makes you say that?
@@enochinri Just sounds way worse i feel
Hmm you should try some other games than Vic2.
I have and look at the view counts hahaha
I think you should start playing mods rather than vanilla,because it gets quite repetetive when you play all nations with the same,colonial strategy
Now play as ethiopia
people still playin' vic 2?
Saying the Kongo kings didnt “like slavery” is totally false. The kings of Kongo formed their state apperatus around slavery and the slave trade. It was the main source for their wealth. They intentionally rejected modern technological advancements, since they, in their minds, didnt help them with their slave based economy.
I think it depended on the king but it would make sense a particularly devout actual subscriber to Christian humanitarianism and not just a pragmatist would kinda take issue with Triangle Trade.
We have primary, sources written by King Afonso I describing the exact reasons he didn't like slavery in his kingdom:
worldhistorycommons.org/excerpt-letter-nzinga-mbemba-portuguese-king-joao-iii
"And we cannot reckon how great the damage is, since the mentioned merchants are taking every day our natives, sons of the land and the sons of our noblemen and vassals and our relatives, because the thieves and men of bad conscience grab them wishing to have the things and wares of this Kingdom which they are ambitious of, they grab them and get them to be sold; and so great, Sir, is the corruption and licentiousness that our country is being completely depopulated, and Your Highness should not agree with this nor accept it as in your service. And to avoid it we need from those Kingdoms no more than some priests and a few people to reach in schools, and no other goods except wine and flour for the holy sacrament. That is why we beg of Your Highness to help and assist us in this matter, commanding your factors that they should nor send here either merchants or wares, because it is our will that in these Kingdoms there should not be any trade of slaves nor outlet for them."
@@enochinrivery interesting, although after some further research it seems things are more complicated, the Portuguese mostly went to Afonso’s vassals to keep with their demand of trade and Afonso tried many times to take control of the slave trade and not totally end it, as it is shown in some of his actions,as he kept many slaves under his command from his conquests to the South, it is also interesting to note that he ended up relenting to the Portuguese demands due to the economic strain it would put the
Kongolese economy under. Interestingly, he condemned thePortuguese mostly for the illegal slaves that were being bought and tried to control the situation by creating a comission to analize if the slaves were legal or not. He also appealed to the Vatican who at the time decided not to intervene in the matter.
@@enochinriA good I found about the entire situation was this one. From a Millersville university article: Yet these positions are probably not true. African leaders were not necessarily forced into the slave trade through their inabilities, or the inability of their country to prevent it,(1)and neither were they necessarily simply cruel dupes of foreign traders who sold their own people out for short term gains. African leaders clearly participated voluntarily in the slave trade, but this does not mean that they did so without recognizing the ethical problems that the trade presented.
@@historyafficionado478 Yeah in King Leopold's Ghost the author didn't go into a ton of detail about this, the main parts he did were ones I mentioned in the video, thanks for looking into it more. I sort of suspected one of the reasons he disliked it was because it let his vassals get access to firearms which obviously would make them harder to control... It's not all about philanthropy. Also if you are a newly Christian king over a majority pagan Kongo, I suspect slavery is a great means by which to get rid of political/religious rivals. The author mentioned something about appeals to the Vatican but said they were "intercepted" by the Portuguese, whatever that means.
What interests me most from Afonso's letters is when he says the country is being "depopulated" it seems to suggest to me that there was some recognition of the long term negative demographic effects of slavery.
I appreciate you drawing out the nuance, history is rarely black and white. King Leopold's Ghost feels more like a long form newspaper article than a history book, more footnotes would have gone a long way toward showing nuance. It makes the irony of what happened to his family members even more powerful.
Black people are the cutest and sweetest little guys and White people are very mean toward them for no reason at all 😢 this is so sad.
How is it that you play Crimeamod once and all these people come put from the woodwork.
@@MeadowGaze yeah you're confirmed big meanie now
