Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it! And super cool to see people commenting from the respective countries. I think we have done Serbs justice with this playthrough!
Haha, yeah, it's quite a lot at first - I barely played in the first year of release. Patches 1.5/1.6 really got the game back on track and I can't wait for 1.7 and June DLC. The game is going in the right direction and improving a lot with every patch!
I'm loving this series! I dabbled in Victoria 2 back in the day, but the Victoria series is the only Paradox game that I never really learned. It's very daunting. I picked up Victoria 3 on the Steam Autumn sale and I've fumbled my way through a couple of games but still not certain how everything is interacting. Your teaching style is great. Methodical, but not too slow. Thank you so much for putting this out, it's exactly what I needed!
Thanks a lot! Means the world to me that my videos are helping you get into the game and enjoy it! It’s in a very good place right now post 1.5 and I think it will only get better from here. Keep an eye out - there will be more Victoria 3 content coming next week, as long as I can figure out the editing :)
Glad you chose Serbia. I've always found learning Paradox games best by using small nations with a handful of states. You can really get to understand how all the numbers are adding up. Really impressed by your style, too. There seems to be a trend on YT of presenters talking way too fast, however your pace is perfect, we can actually absorb what's going on. Intrigued by that famous Serbian play about Charity Hospitals.. an unusual subject for a popular play!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it and hopefully learning from it. I actually think minor powers / one-state / few-state nations are actually the most interesting and challenging to play as you have to navigate your way in the world of major powers, which makes achieving even small geopolitical goals very rewarding!
Really enjoying the series. I never saw before the pops moving from one group to another like this before. I had just really assumed they all came from the unemployed when you built a new industry or increased it's level. That was really neat to see. I assume that the unemployed still get employed, but instead of working in the new industry, they took the jobs vacated in the existing industry that were left by those moving to the new industry. Net effect is the same, but where the employees are coming from matters.
Yes, exactly. I think what happens is that to hire the very first employees, the building puts up wages, so the pops already doing that job somewhere else immediately take advantage of that opportunity. Then the wage level drops and other employed pop stay at their current workplace, while unemployed pops start to fill in the jobs.
I wonder when you have clergymen that change jobs to shopkeepers, will they keep higher support of the Orthodox Church interests compared to had they been hired from different group, like military? Or does is the previous job completely irrelevant and the game just takes into account the current job?
Great question! No, they don’t keep their previous political views. Pops is the fundamental unit of Victoria 3 and each Pop type has their own way of life and therefore their own political views, so their political support gets recalculated based on “invisible” set parameters for different IG for each pop. I will go over this in more detail in future videos again. Hope you are enjoying the series!
@@immersioneer Interesting, it's kind of a shame they don't partially keep their old loyalty for a while as it seems a bit more realistic, but that is probably asking too much, the game is very detailed as it is. Thanks for the answer.
I think you're missing one more state in the Austria... Delvidek and Banat are considered Serbian I think. Also, there should be some Serbs throughout Croatia, so you could up your appetite 😊
Bosnia did not belong to the Kingdom of Serbia, although Serbian nationalists wanted to do so in 1914. One of them murdered the Austrian heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie Chotek on June 28, 1914 in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo. The consequences were catastrophic when Austria punished Serbia harshly, a diplomatic chain reaction arose, causing the First World War to break out. After the First World War, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was founded in 1918. Maybe it would be fun to get a little more ambitious by creating the whole Yugoslavian nation? During the first eleven years of its existence (from 1918 - 1929, so still entirely within the time period of the game Victoria 3) Yugoslavia was called the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
Thanks! I know a bit about the history and the Kingdom. Our aim will be to unite the lands that our culture considers its Homelands in the game and where Serbian population presents a significant minority (or even a majority). "Jugoslav" culture is present in the game, so we can form that imaginary multi-ethnic kingdom. Pretty cool to do this in Victoria 3, given I just did a Yugoslavia playthrough in Hearts of Iron 4 last month on this channel :)
Subbed, this is the kind of content I have been looking for. In depth, focusing on the "why" and not "how to min max"
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and glad you are enjoying it and learning from it!
Very nice to watch someone explain so good,this nice but complicated game for us,begginers...and plus i am from Serbia.....:) all the best brother :)

this series has been really helpful so far. first time I've actually understood what is going on in this game

I really appreciate that you've made these videos. You're a great teacher. Thank you Immersioneer!
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the kind words and support! More to come!

Really appreciate this play through. Your explanation is just what I’ve been looking for.
Thanks a lot! I was looking for something like this myself and couldn't find anything, so I know what you mean. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it!

This is a great series. Thank you for your efforts in putting this together 👍🏻

Thanks for your great explanation, step-by-step. I missed that in other tutorials. )
Thanks! And you are welcome! We need more players in Victoria 3!

Yeah, I found them later. Indeed, there are quite a few nationalities there, but we are all Jugoslav and will be multicultural in the end :)
