[@David-on1mr]

I don’t think you are appreciating the depth of the economy in Victoria 3. Local prices affect the SoL. Each state is its own economy and to optimise you want to take care of your pops locally. If you aren’t producing the goods they need locally they have to pay an increased amount. Each state needs to be self sustaining as much as possible if you get the balance right SoL is much higher and bottom up growth.

7:49 one thing that could already be done in 1.6 was to split the units of an army by the state they were from. Making a separate army with Kansai units and then disbanding the rest of the units is much easier and faster than clicking one by one.

​@@LudietHistoria you are my spirit animal.

[@foxdavion6865]

Keep in mind guys, just like with Muscovy in EU4; Japan is *fine* at the start, but there is a nasty crisis waiting for you in the mid game if you don't take action to prevent it triggering in the mid game by your actions in the early game. If you don't industrialise, reform and put the Emperor on the throne (OR just Anyone in charge, so long as it isn't the Shogun and his lackies) and open up trade early, you'll get an event half way through the game timeline where the Americans show up and forcibly change your trade policy to an open one, if you haven't reformed by then, it triggers a crisis tick down to a civil war, alongside massive debuffs and low stability. If your trade is open by the mid game, the event won't fire at all. (This event is new, it was added this patch). Japan itself also has few industrial resources, the quality of the metals are poor and no oil, with limited coal. This will become an issue in the late game of Vic3, this will force you to either take the historic path of Japan or you will need to be very clever with your trade deals to make sure you can secure these resources.

[@IgnasV]

I stayed isolationist up until the 80s. 200 mines of coal should be enough. There's also like 300 iron mines too. Oil is super limited tho.

[@huynhvonhatan]

Since 1.5 or 1.6 any western powers will knock on your door to open free trade around 1870s. In the current 1.7 however I got England to come by as early as 1940s. Possibly as the result of expanding iron mines and construction sector and liberalizing too early. As a note though, it seems you can reliably get market liberal instigator for landowner very early due to the Java eruption in the 40s. If you keep your rice price high enough, people will piss off and demand change and a new political instigator will appear and you can appoint him to lead the land owner. Though I can’t keep him alive long enough to get all the change I want, he’ll mysterious die after a year or two. You can also avoid being demand to open up by getting friendly with France and England at game start. They will get extremely friendly with you for some reasons, even Scandinavia.

7:45 when you are in this situation when you need to disband all units except that units in your captital rather than check everysingle unit like you did you can create new army and then set that you want to tranfer units from first army to a secnd and you can there select from which state you only want to transfer the units and there you chose you capital unit and now you have new army that has units only from your capital, hope it helps and if it doesnt work when you will have stream and i have time i can help you understand it there better

Dont go agrarianism,better to go interventionalism then Laissez-Faire.Agrarianism has −25% Capitalists investment pool contribution efficiency which is ruining your most efficient pops(cuz farmers contribute 5% while industrialist are 20%).Agrarianism cant build any manufacturing in the private queue etc. The same thing with homesteading. Its way harder to pull down the rural folk party clout with homesteading than pulling down the landowners clout with tenant farmers. PS: Qing can go agrarianism cuz of they have too many ppl so u get more investment pool contribution that way.

[@LudietHistoria]

Well gee thanks bro. I know what you're saying but as Japan you can't go interventionalism first. You HAVE TO go homesteading and agrarianism as those are the only 2 options. You ofc should later change to interventionalism and commercialized, but it's impossible to go straight for those at the starts.

[@MekarWB]

I wish they would use real-world market terms for some of these concepts. "Market Access Price Impact," or the difference in price of the same commodity in different places, usually led by transportation costs from where it was produced, but sometimes altered by other market phenomenon, is called "basis" in real world commodity markets. Why not just use the one word term besides that Paradox probably doesn't know that lol

[@jirijancik5979]

I wonder how many people who watch Ludi's videos doesn't know what MAPI is or how "steel mill works". I want to watch his videos, but after few of them this "tutorial-like approach" gets a bit tiring. Please don't take in a bad way, I DO want to watch, but all the tips are always so basic level and same every time, that I have to skip a lot of the content.

at 37 mins when Ottomans and Swedes guarantee your independence and you point out how it doesn't make sense - I find still in 1.7 the AI is pretty random about relations, when they choose to improve / reduce relations, the types of plays they get involved in even just save scumming and seeing what happens sometimes, etc. It just bugs me how inconsistent AI are when doubled to with how annoying wars still are, control is just too abstracted and I feel like would feel more interesting if we had more actual input and involvement

[@Pazzystar]

so AI will be scared shitless by 500 irregular infantry? or is power projection miscalculated?

[@Daedwartin2]

The reason agrarianism went down in success chance is that you werent taking into account is that said success chance is looking at ALL sources that increase or decrease that chance that the game says. And well, the law success chance modifier that you get from events and the debate rolling for an increase in success chance is simply just a flat increase to said chance. Having gained around 30% more law success chance of passing Appointed from debate rolls and events, it of course means that you technically had a 30% higher chance of passing ALL laws, Including Agrarianism.

Thanks for the sub kind sir! If you want warmonger Japan, go colonial exploitation fast, pick on Gaza in south africa and the yemen minors first, then once u got exploitation passed go into the congo area and niger area and eat all the africans there. That will give you the pops needed so that when you reform you are strong enough to take on the great powers

[@Demomancer]

Well, based on this video there is little reason to go back to Vicky 3. The legistlative process is still a massive RNG shit fiesta. It completely kills the enjoyement of playing nations like Japan, which are more focused on internal development rather than expansive imperialism. The journey of turning this backwards feudal society into one of worlds leading industrial power should be fascinating, but instead it boils down to "Please RN-Jesus, bless my 4th attempt at passing this vital law" about 20 times.

Love me some Japan run. Esp. for explaining stuff, being isolated at the start is a good thing but Japan also has the ability to do stuff and eventually become very successful. IIRC Romanticism is also needed for Greener Gras Campaign which can be very useful to populate regions like Hokkaidou or your main production centers. Once people are allowed to move of course. Switching from Traditionalism doesn't give you +25% taxation. It removes the -25% modifier. So you go from 75% to 100% which is a 33 1/3% increase or just 1/3. Can someone explain to me why the Emperor is smoking pipe? I mean if you ignore the tiny country called Russia, you are basically neighbours with the Swedes.

[@hoyinching9313]

[@adamwinebarger2917]

Alright, I've been looking for a place to say this for a bit now but I figure this would be as good as any: So in the real-life Boshin War, despite being outnumbered by the Shogunate's forces, the Imperial forces came out on top due in large part to Emperor Meiji's modernization efforts prior to the war. This meant that at least some of the units under the Emperor's control had recieved modern training and arms from the French and British while those under the Shogunate were largely irregular forces whose training and arming varied quite a bit between different domains. So while it's obnoxious, the first thing I do out the gate is split off the Kansai armies from the rest of the Japanese army, then try to prioritize getting an iron mine and some arms industries (while still doing a lot of the closed-loop stuff you have to do as Japan) while researching line infantry in order to Modernize the Kansai units. If you're building other stuff in addition (you'll need tools for iron anyways), then you'll find that by the time you're ready to kick things off that not all states are going to want to go to war with you - it especially helps if you find legislation that pisses off the landowners and not the Samurai (Like National Police Force). I just fought it for a third time (other things happened that made me want to roll back) and only 3 states declared against me. Of course, Russia also sided with the Shogunate this time, but I had my alliance with Joseon/Korea so I still managed to win that in 1851; and frankly I think I could have done it without Korea still. In any case, I figured someone way better than me at this game might want to give that a try since it's less cheesy, closer to historically accurate, and also protects you in the event that some random power decides to get involved on the side of the Shogunate. Figured it might be worth taking a crack at.
