Heh, heh. It's funny, because that's my experience, too. I've been watching videos on KZbin, so I thought I had a general idea of the game. And therefore, when I bought it yesterday, I decided to skip all of the tutorial stuff and just jump into a game (as Russia, for some reason, instead of one of the nations they suggest for beginners). And I had absolutely _no idea_ what to do. I didn't even unpause the game. So, yeah, I'm watching this tutorial now. And when I start up the game again, I'll pick one of the smaller nations suggested for new players and let the game lead me by the hand (I _hope_ that's what it will do) for a bit. :)

Thanks for an excellent introduction to the game! Even in tutorial mode, the game never really does a good job of informing the player exactly what type of game it is and how it should be played, which can be problematic if you're deep inside a CK or EU mindset. Paradox just seem to assume that everyone's already familiar with Victoria 2 and that newcomers enticed by nothing else other than the time period should just fend for themselves. I think it's a testament to the game's high learning curve that so few beginner guides exist outside the ones that Paradox sponsored (which are all based on alpha versions and press release notes), so a non-promotional newbie guide as detailed as this is hugely appreciated. Keep up the good work!

@@AndysTake Well, hello again! So I just completed my first game to completion, and figured you'd be interested to know how it went (well, actually, I figure you probably don't care all that much but I'd share anyway! LOL :p ) So like I said, since this was just a "training" game to learn the basics as I played, I wanted to start as a small, low-ranked country. I picked Oyo: A small one-state spot on the western coast of Africa, with very few buildings to its name, ranked 134 as the game starts. Now, the fact that it's such a low rank, unrecognized power means I didn't get to play much with the diplomatic options, unfortunately! But everything else; trade, production, laws, tech; Oyo was very helpful in letting me know how all of that works! My first few attempts were a disaster! First thing I learned about this game: Do not build Construction Center unless you're sure you have the money, wood and fabric to sustain them!!! LOL And Oyo doesn't have much space for Lumber Mills either, so I had to conquer my neighbor (Benin) for its wood! It also had Iron, which Oyo doesn't, so that was a nice grab! I do think I should have went more "full military" early game though: Mid-game even Benin felt like it wasn't enough, but by that time the French and the British were all over the place, and conquering other small states meant I'd have to deal with them as well, and I seriously didn't have the army for it! So, yeah, mid to late game, those states would have to do! Grew my production, got my tech, installed a form of democracy in place (which was pretty interesting, seeing all the group of people join different political parties! Kinda saddened that the Landowners never really lost their grip on the politics of Oyo: It was literally impossible for me to ban slavery without them trying to revolt about it! Tried a few times, never worked...) Still a lot of stuff I'm just not sure how it works. Like, there are some production methods for my building: It doesn't increase the amount of product I make or anything; all it does is remove workers. Which: Why people losing their job a good thing? Then there's the "publicly owned" production method. I once got a journal entry that wanted me to have at least 75% of my buildings publicly owned (as well as a few other objectives). So I did that, not really a problem. But that was because the quest demanded it! Otherwise, well, is there really an advantage to doing that? What are the pros and cons? As I was clicking the "publicly owned" options on all my buildings, I noticed that some of them were gonna give me more money in the end, but others would give me least. But I don't know why! :p But anyway, those are details. Stuff I'll learn more and more as I play more of the game, right? Like with Crusader Kings 3 and Stellaris; you get to learn how the details work as you play more of it. So, yeah, anyway, Oyo starts as Rank 134, in the 75th position for GDP and 93rd for Standard of Living. One hundred years later, I'm Rank 28, 33rd position for GDP and 64th for Standard of Living. Which might not be the best thing ever but, again, that was my very first game, just to learn how it works, so I'm glad it turned out that way! One caveat however is that, by the last, like, 10 years of the game, I heavily focused on building up my military. Not because I planned to invade anyone, but because I noticed it would have an effect on my Prestige and, by extension, my Rank. Now I knew it would have an effect, but wow! Before I started focusing on my military I was going back and forth around Rank 68 to 70; after those last few years of just playing around with my barracks' production, I jumped to 28! That was weird! :p So, yeah, that's my story! Like I said, probably would have done better if I invaded more early game. And learning to have more than one Construction Center without losing all my money is a must as well! But for a first attempt, pretty proud of myself! :)

Great guide. One particular thing ive struggled with is measuring what my country is producing and consuming in one screen. The market screen is useful but when you have a lot of imports/exports to your market, it's really not a good measure of the actual production and consumption of your own buildings. You have to go building by building or mouse over resource by resource.

Ah yes, Ottoman Empire mobilising its conscripts from the Baltic region and putting them on the front against Greece. Jokes aside thank you very much for this video. Not being able to manually assign troops to your generals is probably the most frustrating mechanic I have encountered in any grand strategy game.

I know it’s actually extremely frustrating not to manually assign them, I’ve found! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Booting up the game for the first time and having NO idea what to do, how to do it and even why the game is played at all. Thank you for this!
