he did it! the absolute mad lad did it!
@bitt3rSteel I hope you win!
I love your content
Capitalism ho!
It's sad to see Paradox loose their touch with realism since they included Belgium in their game
Ikr? Denmark was a funny joke but belgium is going too far
Their games were never realistic.
@@Doberdobax ... the door is right there, buddy...
@@Doberdobax :D
*LOSE* YA STUPID TWAT
Hearing Alzabo do a stereotypical Texan accent is the funniest thing I've heard in the past month
Considering I’ve never played Victoria 3, all of the nations should be on this list.
We are back in action! This month I was sick with (REDACTED) but more content is coming soon! What videos would you like to see up next?
A restoration of the PLC by krakow would be pretty cool
Play as texas and spread anarcho-capitalism across America
Happy to have you back!
I'd love to see a Tall Texas video!
A Mexico run
A small nation you may have never thought about playing
BRAZIL
Haha technically a minor power in 1836!
funny how you conquered all bolivia as brazil except for the only piece of land that brazil actually took from them in real life
Border gore Bolivia is 🔥
Fellow Texan here- love the accent. You should DEFINITELY do a Texas campaign, all in accent. Go for based Houstonian Texas- multiculturalism, no slavery (early Juneteenth baby), full suffrage, allied with the American Indian tribes, etc.
Communist Texas would be hilarious. The Red Star State will rise!
You can release more Indian nations from the US and create a Texan/Indian alliance
They dont accept us tho lmao
Unlock cars in 1820
Can support, partner
AlzaboHD you gotta use mounds of pounds with Vicky instead of buckets of ducats. Also as a fellow Texan I believe it’s our solemn duty to conquer the world as Texas.
I'm playing as Joseon (Korea) at the moment, and my campaign has been incredibly fun. Starting as a somewhat technologically behind state with feudal laws and being a subject of the Qing, I found it a lot of fun to industrialize, gain independence, and bully the Dutch East Indies and Indochina. #12 by 1888
I’m currently playing as them as well. The independence war from the Qing was a ‘close run thing’. This is the most fun start in Vicky 3 so far.
They are definitely in my soon-to-play list. Good to know they are a fun nation to play as.
That excited "Risigormento" made my skin crawl, great video as always
Gratsi amigo!
A Texas play through would be cool.
I'm so used to your standard monotone voice that the FORGAT ABOUT ET sent me.
We can see Alzabo's wisdom in the fact that he avoided Acre in his Brazilian conquests, nothing good would ever come with dealing with the dino-riders
Oh man, I missed your videos so much! Good that you're back
Alzabo doing a texan accent is what I live for
He needs to do an anti-Texas campaign. Command Econ, worker’s rights, women’s suffrage, graduated taxation etc.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I have to say, you have incredible wordplay and research. Very impressive!
My first proper run (had a few "false starts" as I was learning the game) was as Brazil, and I agree it's a great choice. Easy access to a wide variety of resources, a blank slate to build you own custom industrial base, immediate regional dominance... honestly the only downside is the political situation, but even with my rookie fumbling I still managed to get slavery banned 40 years early!
I would like to see a Texas campaign.
But make it a monarchy. Just as a fun twist.
I for one would ABSOLUTELY be down to watch a video where you play as a tall Texas that only expands to the modern state's borders. Everything's bigger in Texas, and in this case that includes standard of living.
Great video, starting a Lanfang run myself!
It's always a great day when Alzabo uploads 😄
Great video and word play as always!
Wow love to see a Texas Campaign!! Im starting the afghan campaign today actually, really enjoy your style of video and storytelling!! Thanks for this video, given a lot of great play ideas!!
nice poetry xD liked and subbed bro
That was a great video - with an sponsor!
I was playing as krakow one time and I got Karl Marx to lead my nation. I then established the Socialist Republic of krakow.
In 1858.
noice. I did Gran Colombia and became #3 overall by the end. New Granada starts in a decent position and Brazil becomes a natural rival. Basically you fight over who's the super power of South America. I got both canals, Suez and Panama, which kinda made us the premier canal builders of the world I guess. Definitely suggest it.
I am sure the great power surrounding you would realistically have welcomed this development with open arms and would have let you be unimpeded
Great stuff
Glad you're feeling better! Miss Rona and Aunt Flu are making a lot of visits this holiday season, so take care of yourself!
The scale of rhymes in this video was a true treat.
Playing Quebec at the beginning in the british market + greener grass + hardcore industrialisation (doing nothing else then building industries because you no need basic ressources cuz you access them trough the british market) you can skyrocket the ranking of this country to great power -tabarnaaaaaak- ;)
Got this in my recommended and was going to subscribe for the puns. Then I saw I was already subbed (probably from your EUIV videos)
I don't even like Vic3, just wanted to be soothed by this man's voice.
i played the Brazil rebels to the south, were cool too, but its hard to beat brazil twice, or get strong enough to declare intrests in argentina
3:51 Paradox made an achievement for the worst and hardest blow my nation has ever suffered. OK, we didn't vote for Pedro, but we acclaimed and revered him "By the grace of God and unanimous acclamation of the peoples, Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil".
May he never be forgotten , The Greatest Leader in the History of my country , The Magnanimous Dom Pedro II
Howdy! Texan campaign, rise of the cowboys!
i just learnt thanks to the first one that this game has EU4-like decisions and the journal isnt just random useless goals
I want a full series of u playing as Texas foiled with texan accented puns 🙏
You definitely do a Texas campaign! Show some of that state pride and try to make it a better place!
Just did the Meiji restoration achievement by accident, had about 8 months left. Really fun campaign.
I’m so glad to be introduced to this channel through this video. SUB!
I crack every time you say "dzien dobry", it's actually comparatively pretty good
Amigo we NEED a Tejas playthrough! I can just hear the call to arms of Alz waxing Tejano poetic justice
GOD I LOVE ALZABO!
Glad to hear a little Texas Twang when you talk about setting up a Texas campaign.
An etouffe-front war! Oh man, you are incomparable. I'm a fan forever.
AlzaboHD, come for the maps, stay for the wordplays
I didnt knew Lanfang was in Vicky 3 now i need to try them out. Fun little history your first video on how to form Lanfang was how i found your channel and that was the most fun i have with a campaing in EU4 now i need to recreate that and conquer all of China and southeast Asia and form the most democratic republic in the world
You should have included Ethiopia:) it's a fun challenge... Also grand Colombia is fun
Doing An Egypt campaign and formed Arabia. Was fun subjugating all those minor nations. only thing keeping me in credit was the diplo income from the horn of afriaca and arabian lands. Its now turned into a race for africa gameas i have colonisation maxed and am chasing france and britain for provinces.
I think a Texas run could be awesome. Turn it into a nation better than the one today! Also, more Texan Alzabo when?
As Louisianan I challenge you, a Texan, to play as the state your natural rivals: Louisiana.
can you give a little more details on getting the heavenly kingdom? the british have hong kong after i capitulated and its now 1840 but no heavenly kingdom events have gone off.
do i need to capitulate into being forced to have free trade too? are you playing before the patch that keeps the game from ending up with variety of singular pops so a singular protestant is now really hard?
Would love to see a Texas campaign!
When you said opium with Afghanistan, I thought you were meaning OPM. 😄 took me a minute.
I love that little Balkan slander at the end of the video lmao
(play montenegro plz, greetings from this tiny balkan nation)
I would love to see a Texas campaign!
I live in Linden, TX and was born and raised in the Fort Worth area. Definitely do a Texas campaign.
I'd love to see you have a crack at playing the Indian Territory and getting the American Territory achievement. I've tried a few times myself with no luck.
Minor note about Lanfang: It's also a very good candidate for the Serf's Up Achievement (start as a nation with Serfdom and implement Worker's Protections.) Lanfang has Serfdom to begin with, but the gold fields and liberal laws mean that the Landowners are quite weak and relatively easy to marginalize further. Plus the very wealthy standard of living that the gold gives means that Trade Unions can get very high clout without too much issue.
And when the world needed him, he returned.
i never played them because Vic3 is actually pretty new game it would be strange if someone played every single nation
I'm pretty certain you do have some kinks with Lanfan.
I’d love to see a Texas campaign
As a Dutchman, seeing the spice comment was pretty funny
Love from Québec, tabernacle.
Hawaii and the Indian Territory (probably the hardest start in the game) are also pretty fun. In South America, Peru-Bolivia is a better nation than Brazil because you have oil and Brazil doesn't at the start.
And a lot of gold!
But infrastructure is utter shit. You have to use the decree which gives infrastructure and construction speed.
@@shellshockedgerman3947 but its fun. When you conquer Argentina and Chile its very good nation. You have everything. Also its hilarious that you can help natives and remove both Argentina and Chile from map and them colonize this terrain yourself
Please do more ck3 content
i'd like to see a texas campaign, been trying to play it and just can't get anywhere
There needs to be a pun counter lol
I'm waiting for Texas, Lanfang, and Heavenly kingdom campaign
How did you unlock Québec? Is it through releasing them as Great-Britain ?
This is like reading Dr. Seuss.
I guessed Afghanistan from the thumbnail but I didn't expect all the rest!
my favorite country to play as in Victoria 3 is Al Gor'Ithim.
omg, the god himself returned
AlzoboHD, my comment will see. As I depart, he gives me a heart. (Got so excited to see another Vic 3 vid from you, been waiting.)
New South Wales is a ton of fun to build tall. It gets the same diplomatic options of confederating the other territories, ability to colonize nearby islands that Britain has taken, engage in diplomatic plays as a dominion, and just PRINTS money through the bajillion gold mines it gets over its existence. Not to mention that there is so much land to go around, immigration-maxxing is a huge benefit.
Texas would def be a cool campaign, but I'd like to see a New England campaign too. No-one's done them yet.
How could you leave out Algeria :(, Barbary's back achievement is one of the hardest in the game
Hedjaz is really fun too
It’s not on this list but a California play through would be awesome.
yes to alzabo texas yeehaw
So there is the bonkers thing I saw in my game of the new African state, which was within the CSA, which was left as a rump state within the US.
Please recreate PLC :3
Lanfang... Democracy with Chinese characteristics... this cracked me up!
Hmm yes lore of Vic 3 Flavor packs momentum 100
Howdy, and I might just play a Texas game.
a texas video would be awesome
I think Korea is OP the first game I played I became a great power as them, puppeted Japan and conquered most of indonesia. I was highest standard of living on the Great Power list, highest GDP per capita in the world, highest literacy on the Great Power list. But 90% of the game I just built buildings even if they didn't give me any money and it took me ages to remove serfdom because I didn't realise I had to remove the Yangban officials from my government (It's a bit silly that I can't just pass laws as an absolute monarch, I had two civil wars anyway why not just allow me to go through the civil wars without the legislating time?). Also most of my country were peasants until the 1900s when I realized I had to build loads of rice farms to turn them into workers but this tanked my economy for some reason.
You should play more democracy 4
I agree!
@@AlzaboHD I didn't expect you'd reply wow! but anyways keep up the good work 👍
I once been to Belgium, but it turned out I had hit my head and bee in a coma for a week, it was all a dream.
9:41
Paradox missed the opportunity to create an achievement "Revenge of The Sikh" if the Sikh Empire kicked GB and EIC out of the Indian continent.
Hi alzabo
I don't know about this game, but are the romanian states hard to play just like in EU4 ?
Afghanistan has been my favorite playthrough thus far, and actually, a country I highly recommend for beginners. They have everything you need to succeed in the beginning, and their neighbors have nearly everything you need to succeed in the mid and late game, not to mention the decent cores you can acquire from the surprisingly generous Pashtun homelands not to mention the Central Asian heritage
all that and no mention of opium, dislike.
Did you just pull a "Saudade-ing" on uns brazillians Alzabo? Kkkkkk
yes
How about Catalonia? Defo do the run with Texas, partner. Glad you are feeling better, by the way
