  • No it's not click bait, Paraguay is currently the strongest Country in Victoria 3 Single Player. Is it an exploit, maybe... but it's fun and unique and that's all I care about.
    I wouldn't have known about this without happening across it on reddit so here is a link to the two reddit posts that showed me how to do this.

    If you improve relations with GPs enough, sometimes you can offer them New York and then incorporate them. Another way to cheese the system is to liberate new nations(like Louisiana which has European and African Antilles. Liberate Kamchatka after annexing Russia and then give them Alaska so you have North Asian culture which includes Manchuria so you can use it to integrate Qing.) and then instantly incorporate them to add more new primary cultures with different heritages

    • @TobiasParadox
      @TobiasParadox  Před měsícem +5

      If you want an honest answer it's because it just isn't feasible right now. The intended nation to do this with is the Indian Territory, however you simply cannot get independence with them without either a ton of time or an astronomical amount of luck. Then even if you did get independence from the US, you still can't research Nationalism in time to use turtle island as you have to neighbor a decentralized nation to Proclaim turtle island. By the time you have nationalism all the decentralized nations will be or will almost be completely colonized. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to get the Indian Territory to work. Frankly, I believe it's impossible to legitimately form turtle island as the Indian territory. As it stand I think the devs know about this but have their hands full with the SoL DLC so it can't be addressed yet.
      TLDR: It just isn't possible right now, I wish it was, but it isn't.

      @@TobiasParadox True enough sadly, I do hope Paradox gives us more of a chance sometime soon. Granted IDK what that chance would be, maybe making one of the decentralized nations at the start centralized but that has a lot of other issues so probably not. This is a problem where what the solution is something is understandably difficult, cause it needs to be something that only really has a chance of happening if the player lets it or intends it, either through willful inactions, a goofy release country wargoal or doing it themselves directly. And that is something that is an ungodly difficult tight rope to balance a lot of the time i imagine

      @@TobiasParadox Subjects always accept traded states that border them by land or across a short enough body of water, such as the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska, as do any countries that have a belligerent attitude towards you (so long as they have a high enough opinion of you that trading states is an option). Countries will also desire any states they have a claim on, regardless of distance. Less consistently, they'll desire bordering cultural homelands, which is how you can give Bajo Paraguay over to Argentina so easily, but that's less helpful in general.
      Therefore, if a country is too big/difficult to subjugate or take in a unification play (which annexes all supporters, such as for the Federation of the Andes or Germany), you can conquer a single state from someone, force them into a belligerent attitude, and try to trade away a couple different states you want them to have. They'll lose the belligerent attitude quickly, though, once they start receiving land. This is consequently more viable for countries close to North America, like Japan, than for someone like Egypt.
      Apart from that, you can accept a lot of cultures off of released subjects (so long as you don't grant them independence BEFORE giving them land), and homelands of your culture are much cheaper to take in a war; with the kind of military you can build up, straight-up conquest shouldn't be too much of a hassle. If you have/still use a reddit account, I can DM you if that's preferable.

    @katelundberg2029 Před měsícem

    A non-exploit(ish) but incredibly luck reliant variant of this could be using Miskito, which has a native culture in the titular Miskito people and Afro-Carribean which is an African Heritage. You would need to break free of the British protection but if you do that and get Texas before losing the protection if you get really lucky with the American civil war they can sometimes gain Afro American as a primary culture which is also African Heritage. Then you might be able to rng into getting Yankee as a primary culture(might be forced into Afro American though, not sure how it picks which culture you get) and if you get Yankee you can then proceed to eat everyone but if not you can at least be content with being America as a union of native and african peoples rising against their opressors. You can also force some gains like this by releasing New Africa I'm realizing which would actually be a based as hell campaign idea just uniting the opressed former slaves of North America. But compared to Paraguay who just needs initial luck I think Miskito is just much harder especially since you need to protect native tribes until like the 1850s since you start so far behind on society tech and you need to gain independence.
