Saving The Ottoman Empire Within 17 Years in Victoria 3: 1.7 Sphere of Influence!

This playthrough was honestly pretty fun. I don't know if I'm going to run it back in the near future, but I definitely feel like I've learned a few things I can do better in the future. I hope you enjoy the video, and like and subscribe if you did!

I also always forget about interests. That is, until I try to join a GP’s war for something I’ve been striving for the entire game, only to realize I can’t bc the interest will take too long to activate 😭

[@DerailHOI]

I feel you. This happens to me more often than i'd like to admit. 500 hours in and im still a noob

I recommend that you exile the landowner leader, a lot of times you can get a jingoist landowner general and get professional army early. As well, you start with a moderate landowner so you can invite him back afterwards and sometimes he is a abolitionist with helps with serfdom and slavery and sometimes he can be a democrat/republican and he can help with getting appointed beuracrats.

[@DerailHOI]

Yeah I agree that I definitely should've done that. Every time I had that option in mind the approval was ~-8 or -9 so I didn't want to further agitate them. Completely agree though :D

@@DerailHOI Try to roll for Intelligentsia generals and promote them to the highest possible rank to maximize their clout, if you have Voice of the People DLC you should then use the corn laws journal to get a market liberal landowner leader, boom. End serfdom, destroy the landowners clout and have an intelligentsia-run autocracy. Do NOT pass landed voting by the way, it literally only strengthens the landowners

Derail I bet you're really handsome because you're so good at maps games!

[@DerailHOI]

Explains why I'm here watching a map game tutorial.

[@kaiduwinter5795]

What I usually do at the start of the game as Ottomans is to exile the moderate leader of the Local Governors and hope for him to become an abolitionist and invite him back to get rid of mainly serfdom and then slavery. Slavery is a second priority since in one of the latest patches they took away the landowner political power from slavery, so even if he dies before you manage to rid of slavery their strength will still drop significantly.

[@FairyRat]

I think the landowners got pissed off at appointed bureaucrats because you started suppressing them, thus tipping them over the edge of discontent.

Try Persia, is very Interesting nation

Good vibes

[@DerailHOI]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Night-xn1ks]

Good video, would be nice to have some background music though

[@DerailHOI]

will definitely start adding some!

If an AI Ottomans fails to achieve the reforms and then is made a protectorate of another power do they retain the penalties ?

18:10 bonus income transfer from subjects is one of the worst modifers in the game since your subjects no longer get the money upgrading vassalization is worth it eventually but for your first pinciple its not worth going past lvl 1 till you are.completly maxed on the other 3

I've tried to get the healthy man of europe three times now. God is 1.7 brutal. France, Britian, and Austria always end up snowballing and attack me out of nowhere and take half of my subject by year 1900, or they'd have crazy amount of prestiege like 7K or 10K while I'm stuck at 4K. It's ridiculous.

[@124k24oqad]

yeah i am turkish and i just cant have a success it sucks everyone just declares wars

[@misaelbarbonaglia]

Make a video of Germany or Argentina! ❤️

[@DerailHOI]

Germany might be up soon! I'm thinkin Spain or Portugal next :D

@@DerailHOIMay I ask about forming Italy? Since most of Italy is under the Austrian block it seems difficult to form it has one of the small Italian nation.
