@pravus you need a initial amount of grain to start farming, this is called the cost of sowing in the game. Everyone please like so Pravus sees this. Praise Pravus!

[@AtlasNL]

Aye! Praise Pravus!

[@vargurlord]

yeah i was looking same thing need to buy grain to be able to sow and keep enough stock in sping to sow each year.

[@AQJ_DK]

You can auto produce two different types of weapons - the number you select is "Priority" and you can't have two of the same priority, so just select two different numbers.

[@gressorialNanites]

This. Why would he assume it's quantity? Up to four is not very many...

[@robertnett9793]

Who else thinks, that the devs saw Pravus' Channel and thought: "Guys - we must make a game, that absolutely is down this mans alley"... with being evil, world dominating and.... IMPERIALISM!!!

Only three buttons in this game is actually evil choices. One of those isn't the loans because people have to consent to the loan and you are not even asking for collateral outside of what they are trying to buy.

[@kurtmayer2041]

- you should probably buy those farms/houses and sell them immediately for a quick profit of up to 2k i think - i'm *pretty sure* you can specify a hierarchy of weapons to produce, i definitely saw someone specify two different weapon types to autocraft

[@oliverlemley9343]

Brittany uses Bank of Pravus, It was super effective

[@Threxer]

I believe you need some grain or whatever it is that you get from farms to be able to sow, there was a cost to sow which was not in gold, but grain.

[@METALFREAK03]

@Hayden Parker plus grain to produce grain when you have 0 grain seems to be a falacy. Gold to by seeds to get grain is better and makes sense.

[@nickelcobalt9922]

I had hoped you would continue with this game seemed really up your alley.

[@Alsar1997]

Those numbers under auto production are priority numbers, you can auto produce more things at once

man, thats the best outcome ever, pravus doing a series on this game and being paid for it, im so happy rn

[@michaelklein6420]

Thanks so much for playing this pravus I love this game!

[@gmofftarki]

I put a lot of hours into this game over the weekend (since your initial video -currently at about 17 hours). It's pretty fun at the beginning, but the late game lacks any real threats, and you spend a lot of time just lending money to your rivals and hoping that something happens to them to knock them out of the game. At least on medium difficulty, you can almost accidentally save up enough money to satisfy two win conditions (build reserve, control IMF) in one game, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's required for the "military" win condition, particularly since the cooldown on starting wars is something like 20 turns and you just don't have enough time, even if you open licenses in 20+ countries. And, at that point, you spend a long and annoying amount of time every turn going down the list of countries you're in and trying to figure out which ones are off cooldown. Also, the UI needs to offer more information (or at the least more links to information that already exists... I should be able to go to the list of banks, click on one, and see in which countries they have most of their holdings). Also, for some reason, in my most recent game, it's no longer offering me 'fear actions' to use against competitors, only influence and materials, so it's a lot of attention required (searching through the list of countries, offering bank to bank loans) for little emergent gameplay.

[@ericgora2402]

Bugs, it's definitely a interesting game but not a finished thing yet farms are broken and the missing fear is definitely a thing, IMF win I hate doing.

[@thebladeofchaos]

apologies but clarify for me. the cooldown on starting wars: is it at all or is it one way? I might have an interesting way they might be going for....

[@ericgora2402]

@@thebladeofchaos open a license with country x get up to country negotiations of respect ( should take the first 2 options) Start a war Sell license to country x Repeat. (So long as you have cash on hand this way you can maximize you investments with each war ) When country x has 1 province left invest in improving that country before you sell to get more money in the long run

[@gmofftarki]

Each country that you buy into has a separate cooldown for starting a war. Also, enemy countries and your own country can start wars, either on their own or compelled by other banks, independent of your own cooldown.

[@METALFREAK03]

I think they should make it so that its free to start your first bank. Especially in your own nation.

[@HojozVideos]

Extended sponsorship? Now that's something I have never heard of for a KZbin video

[@ciz121]

I got thois game after seeing you playing it and thought, yeah, thats my jam. After playing around a little, one of the points you made is actually sorted. Auto make weapons. It's not described well, however, 1 means craft that first, 2 craft that second etc. So setting muskets and/or the other fire arm means. First, craft bows with any wood, next craft muskets using available coal/iron, next if there is any iron left over make halberds. So the numbers are a priority queue. 8 hours in game to get to that :)

Hey Pravus, great video! I really like this game! Just wanted to let you know that I commented on one of your videos two years (or something) ago, saying that I thought it was a bummer that in the Netherlands we dont really learn American history. You said that the great thing about history is you can study it yourself. I am now halfway through becoming a history teacher :)

[@AtlasNL]

Max G But we do learn about the Americans. At least at my school.

Hey I was really excited when I got the notification for this video since I really liked the first but I'm wondering if when you're done you could play more HOI4: Old World Blues

[@casthor64]

and also the number of the production of weapons is the priority, u can produce automaticaly if u put numbers

[@winteryspy8953]

You can upgrade your settlements in the espionage page

[@jurbon]

Pravus, the numbers for the automatic production aren't how many you will make, they are your order of priorities, that's why you can't use the same one on two different weapons. Also the level two guard department allows you to "acquire" money and resources by spending fear.

[@andrewlentner]

I believe that you need to sow some grain before your farms start producing any. Also I would assume that you only collect the harvest once a year, like in summer.

[@faizkarim5717]

Finally a series on this!

[@bendeguznyilas3346]

A good tactik! There is a good method to grow.......When 2 countris (or more) are in a war,you are able to invest into the war.....so if you join in, in the last turn ,you can buy match cheeper !....then open in thet countri,sell your propety,sell your licens and interwin in the next war......don`t be loyal to a country.....it dont weart it !

[@famijher]

So, now we get a series of Completely Normal Bank Manager.

[@sord3377]

Farms probably aren't producing anything because you checked if they harvested anything in summer. Harvest season is early September to October so it would make sense that they wouldn't produce anything in summer.

[@casthor64]

just saying that you dont get grain every season, only in summer u get it, so maybe in the game is as in real life, the plant grows and its colected in summer, u dont plant corn and every day u get corn, it takes months almost a year to get the plant grown

This is the first video of yours I have stumbled across and I am hooked and can't wait till another video comes. I think that we could expect France and Portugal to fight in the near future. Does conquering all of the states the bank with a certain percentage of IMF controls give you the IMF shares if you make them go bankrupt?

[@BiakSkull]

Im not even subbed but damn i love this series

[@pizzafrenzyman]

Farms are not broken, just not optimized yet. Just as your landlords collect gold from houses automatically, your farmers should save seeds for sowing automatically. It is a bit too hands on in its current state.

[@Karagianis]

I don't think farms produce year round, they probably only do one harvest per year.

[@SuperPukebucket]

How excited was the sponsor when you said that your audience demanded a series?

[@NothingbutDust734]

This game needs shortcut keys xD even if only for the end turn. Also pravus, that's priority queuing; weapon making. Wondering why you're choosing the same queue(4) on both xD

[@ericgora2402]

To rule the world you can invest other countries and have them declare war and sell your lease to that country repeat on same turn to attack more than once, this can be done late game

[@d3m815]

subbed for the series

[@georgiosgkatzoflias2775]

Hey Pravus, it seems like for the farm to start producing you need to buy some grain first (I guess like buying seeds). When you go to the agriculture tab it has a thing for "cost to sow" and it costs grain, but since you don't have anything you can't actually sow and grow any crops. I don't know if you'll see this or want to test it out next part, but if you do I hope it helps

[@Dybdahl1000]

1:48, played 1 game, and I have seen 80 in staff stats.

[@timhansen6951]

the number you use to auto produce weapons is a priority 1 being the best right now you use 4

[@amjadken]

Why did you pick halberds instead of swords? If I understood your explanation correctly, both cost one labor but the swords need 3 iron to produce instead of the 4 for the halberd. So wouldn't it be better to produce swords?

[@Allantir]

mh this game seems fairly small ... start seems to be always the same; buy land and credits, then when you can go to war, rinse and repeat :/

[@Max_Griswald]

Why not get a Guard to start? It helps a lot...

[@Max_Griswald]

Oh my god, you are the first person in an LP to actually notice that buying additional quantities of the same type, IN THE SAME REGION, will stack... I am already liking this playthrough better than the rest... Although, I don't believe you will generate any fear without a Guard, as the Guard generates 20 fear per level of Guard skill (The Diplomat generates 10 diplomacy per Diplomat skill)

[@Max_Griswald]

So, I wasn't able to finish the video yesterday due to time constraints, but finishing it today...Can I just say you really missed a point to emphasize a pun when you expanded "the furs even further" by not emphasizing "even FURther" better ;) So far not too many mistakes I see, you are playing this a lot better than most of the KZbinrs. One thing you could do, and maybe you do later, is to just go ahead and set the bows/crossbows to be automatically made like you did the halberds. There is a 1-4 priority rating for autobuilding the weapons, with 1 being highest priority. You currently have halberds at 4, but nothing else automatic.
