The only reason his videos take any time at all is because of how much effort he puts into lovely crafting 80,000 puns in 20 minutes

I knew opium was op when I became the first world economy as Germany , produced everything, but still had opium shortages

[@daxasd3270]

this. It's a shame china and middle east produces so little. I guess, best you can do is invade and conquer parts of southern china to gain access.

[@gam08e85]

@@daxasd3270 What I usually try to do is get a treaty port in there or conquer southern china but problem is at some point they get line infantry and stack troops to the point where invading them is a pain

This may seem a weird comment, but I've noticed a trend among other map-staring channels I enjoy and I want to go ahead and say, I enjoy your channel just the way it is and specifically *without* a facecam. There's a lot happening on screen in a game like Vicky 3, and your current style of narration and focus based editing is, in my opinion, already an ideal format for this style of game!

[@Fnidner]

not weird at all!

you're prolly one of my favorite strategy gaming youtubers, you always got good alliteration and puns

[@antoniobautista6718]

Same feelings man, Alzabo always brings out very funny and pun-ny alliterations, something you don't see much from other KZbinrs 🤣❤

[@Dmytro_AFU]

Looks like the only one W strategy in this game

[@empressredbird]

Alzabo's videos are the most effective marketing I've yet experienced. I might actually buy the game at some point

[@robertalaverdov8147]

Alzabo decided to play EU4 while playing Vic3 and forms the Mughal empire. As always a chad lord.

[@F31ix11]

I am glad KZbin decided to recommand your great channel to me! Each upload is pure enjoyment and I can hardly wait for new videos, no matter how long they take! Thank you for the great entertainment :)

The "fear and loathing" line sent me into a fit of laughter

[@saladyn1000]

I got the same bug(?) while fighting against natives on Celebes as Dai Nam. Instant battles with my defeats, zero advance into their (or mine) territory and massive losses on my side. I got angry and just changed the country.

[@medika9651]

This is the 7th Afghan opium playthrough that i've seen

[@AlzaboHD]

Haha yeah this was an early idea but I was far too slow to get it out at launch

If you ever want to start in the same general area, go for the Sikh Man of Europe

[@arielfuchs316]

Alzabo ryhmes so much that he has trained my subconcioius to constantly search for a a rhyme to every line.

I’ll always recommend just playing as the heavenly kingdom and being the true Protestant Pope by taking Rome itself

[@luisitobardajibenitez8013]

Isn't the reputation of "graveyard of empires" wildly overstated? Iirc England invaded twice, failing the first time and winning the second time but still being a true empire for quite some time. And the Soviets would've fallen apart maybe a little slower if they hadn't invaded but they were beyond broke at the time either way.

[@RomanBelisarius]

Well going far far back, Alexander kicked the bucket just a few years after having conquered it (and his empire just imploded into smaller kingdoms/empires).

[@luisitobardajibenitez8013]

“Opium is OVERPOWERED” is also the sentence that sparked the Opium wars.

I feel like there should be multiple recognition factions yk? Like one shouldn't have to be recognised by the recognised to be recognised. Like enough unrecognised major powers should be able to mutually recognise each other

Do you actually play Raid or do you do it for the bag? Cause if it's for the bag I totally respect that. Your videos are such high quality fine art. You deserve to be paid for it I just can't afford to. You can tell me here though. Raid won't see it. Just want to know if those were your honest opinions to see if I should try it

[@horsermchead2504]

Since I’m sure everyone here plays them, would you guys suggest getting vic3 or ck3? I’m a huge fan of paradox games but don’t yet have these two with eu4 being my favorite of the lot

[@JohnPGarrett]

CK3 is a more worthy purchase right now. It has significantly more content, users, and mods. Maybe after the first major update/dlc Victoria 3 might be worth purchasing, but right now, the price is a little too high for such a content less game.
