Victoria 2 Tutorial: Argentina

[@minamagdy4126]

On the vertical integration point, or "why you should build factories where their rgo's are produced", I agree with you 100% when it comes to resource-sparse regions. There are, however, two caveats: resource-rich areas, and eventual total industrialization. For resource-rich areas, it actually pays off a lot to go for vertical integration, as, when the lack for resources is less of a problem, the vertical integration means all the pops are more productive overall, since the craftsmen get the results of more efficient labourers in the factories, leading to better productivity overall. On the other hand, if you plan to eventually build up all your states, it is better to use vertical integrarion than not, since that adds to the first point on the increased labourer productivity when you are to have less labourers anyways. That said, this can easily wait for mid-late game In short, using that feature optimally is a very nuanced question, and one where multiple opinions are sometimes valid, especially for wildly different situations.

[@enochinri]

Genuinely thank you for this thought-provoking comment. If you are getting resources from spheres, puppets, or colonial states that cannot become cores it is clear that vertical integration is the most efficient method due to getting the bonus from throughput. I would still say that if you are a secondary or minor power, your primary focus should be on highly-populated states over everything else. I always know that with a game this complicated there are levels of granularity and it is cool seeing people's reasoning. In the back of my mind, I am always unsure of if I am leaving something out when it comes to this kind of thing, you have seriously clarified this for me.

sometimes i do feel like that one soldier/officer/clergyman on the south georgia island province. alone thousands of kilometers from civilisation

[@kostasmpyras]

Edgy as fuck tbh

[@512TheWolf512]

I like your style very much, especially how you explain your decisions Also regarding navy, it's funny how advances in rocketry and aviation have made warships basically obsolete irl, minus submarines for obvious reasons

Still the same

[@braydenblouir]

Two things 1. With Portugal and their starting lands you can get most of Africa. There is a video of this subject and I think you should do that 2. Immigrant assimilation and the craftsmen exploit. How does assimilation work, if a old world nation takes a state in the new world does it get assimilation bonuses. How do you do the craftsmen exploit (culture convert)

[@enochinri]

1 is definitely something I'd like to try out, and 2 I will address not in this video but probably in the one after that. Craftsman exploit is probably the most important bug (feature) in Vic 2 vanilla because it can be a blessing or a curse

[@bo1bo1bo1unlosode]

Yes the old world nation gets the assimilation bonuses but you won’t assimilate the locals due to the cores and not getting any immigrants because the inmigrations are based on where your capital is which is why i like to always mod Washington DC to either Africa or Europe (you literally just have go cut and paste the province ID in the same file) so that the USA results as a normal New world nation

[@marnixdanielotter4812]

You do wanna buy the dip though ;) - 12:05 Aside, great vid. Am a fan of the channel!

[@jimtalbott9535]

One thing I’ve done when in very “iffy” income situations early on is to encourage bureaucrats before Intellectuals, at least until the number goes red - sometimes taxes are just being left uncollected.

[@enochinri]

This is actually really good advice, encouraging artisans as well can be helpful too for income early game, as I said in this video, they're wizards!

[@ivanaznar6495]

Yes, absolutely this is what we want. Greetings from Argentina

16:18 I like that you say "This is cursed" whilst you can see that Ethiopia conquered Sudan. Also, Spanish Nejd

[@enochinri]

Ethiopia taking Sudan is kinda cute and about what I expect tbh... I also expect the Spanish to do something gross they always do

People have probably already asked this, but why do you not play with HPM?

All the times you’ve conquered Peru, you’ve got to play as them

[@josephadler3944]

Definitely play with at least HPM or GFM. you’ll never go back to vanilla bro , makes it a much better experience with more to do

You've got potential man.

[@samwill7259]

Playing Victoria always makes me feel like either a bad person or a bad player. Because all the nice, democratic and equality based options are horribly inefficient And all the efficient, enriching and powerful options are horribly immoral

[@enochinri]

I think this might just go for all PDX games lmao... perhaps a message on hubris

[@theodoros3042]

that map mod is crazy

[@jimtalbott9535]

Your thought on the Political Thought tree: one other thing it does, sometimes early on, is to open up certain techs and encourages certain inventions. You’ll need nationalism to increase colonization too.

[@jesaispas69420]

Yeah a New video ! Plz continue

[@d00gyplays17]

do you stream on twich? If yes then pls link it :). Great vids. would be nice to see some imposible nations ...ecuador or some small country in africa

[@enochinri]

I have thought about it but I only really have time to stream on weekends atm. If I can get a bit larger of an audience maybe, but even then I'd probably stick to KZbin... Twitch culture seems a little bit much for me lol

@@enochinri Ahhhh okay. I never heard of that before! I thought I found out about your colourblindness, I was wrong :) Also, great videos!

[@GermanDreadnought]

how does the naval range work? i play argentina too (im newbie lol) should i just max the south georgia base level or does continental bases matter too? also that colonial power showing below the military score, how does one raise that ?

[@enochinri]

You wanna max out all of your naval bases. Colonial states give you less colonial power when building bases, but still a substantial amount. Colonial power is directly tied to ships you build as you can see here: vic2.paradoxwikis.com/Colonization Ironclads are the best bang for your buck as far as how the game caps your navy, but tend to be very expensive. If money is no object, go for ironclads, but I personally end up just building a shitton of commerce raiders/ frigates. A shitty navy is better than no navy at all in regard to this

[@GermanDreadnought]

@@enochinri thanks so much bro. You got a new subscriber

[@lorenzozamolo3334]

Argentina best country

[@friendlyinternetman5271]

YES. MOOOOORE. In all seriousness as a noob can you do a Russia game? I just want to see what you do with it

[@thatonedudenextdoor7840]

Yea you can. I'd argue that Russia is one of the easier great powers to play actually. One way you can be successful as Russia is by spending the first decades focusing on clergymen in your most populous states and getting the techs that give you more focuses and an education bonus as well as the medicine for the pop growth. This increases your literacy rate. Afterwards, industrialise by building lots of glass factories, taking advantage of your coal production and build liquor distilleries. Russia can become incredibly rich through the production and sale of liquor. Of course also build other industries, steel and guns, fertilizer, all of it, but you'll make lots of money through liquor. When it comes to wars, Russia can expand into almost any direction. You can fight Sweden for control of the Baltic sea, fight Prussia early on for control over Poland and to prevent them from forming NGE and Germany, you can fight Austria over their polish provinces and then go and liberate your Slavic brothers in Bohemia and Slovakia, you can just punch down on the ottoman empire until there's nothing left of them or you can go fight the Persian and Central Asian nations to get access to the Indian Ocean and then there's of course also East Asia, full of easy to defeat unciv nations if you so wish. If you want you can go colonial though it isnt the easiest as Russia. Conquer Persian ports in the Indian Ocean, hop over the strait of Hormuz and conquer oman for a foothold in Africa, land in Ethiopia and Egypt and make your way north and you'll get the pretty rich lands of East Africa. Or use Alaska as a basis to fight the British over Canada, but be warned, that path can be pretty challenging. Russia has a lot of options and a lot of ways it can go. It is large so even if you fuck up you'll probably not lose a lot of land and will be able to recover. You have all the resources you need to industrialise and drown the world in Vodka to make money. There is few things Russia cant do and it is a pretty fun campaign too. I highly recommend playing Russia in this game, regardless of your skill level.

What's the reason for not researching idealism but instead go for practical steam engine in 1841?

[@enochinri]

I was just trying to get my economy going, especially with the war on, I knew I'd be in debt after and would have to pay it off... Long term going for idealism was more efficient tho

yeah, it's vanilla just a map mod, I don't really like mods because they slow down the game so much. HPM is probably the best one IMO

You gotta do Indonesia!

[@enochinri]

After finishing this game I went and started releasing countries as the Netherlands. You can get individual islands released like Java and Sumatra but Indonesia doesn't have cores in VIc2 vanilla... Very sad! I also tried to play the Philippines one time but they're very difficult... I may return to them in the future
