Are you actually fricking moronic?
They dumbed that game down so much so gays like you could understand
I don't get it anon. None of it makes sense. I don't understand.
>They dumbed that game down so much so gays like you could understand
Victoria II was much easier, intuitive and newbie-friendly than this game.
Anon... listen, the only thing that matters is how it makes you poo.
Does it make you poo, Anon?
Are those poos hard and lumpy or nice and soft and squishy?
Do those poos erupt from your anus with the power of a thousand volcano?
Do you you smash down concrete walls with the POWER of your POOS??
TELL US, ANON!
TELL US!!!
HOW ARE YOUR POOS?????
If I had the option to kill one poster in any board I would use it on you. Take your unfunny moronic scat fetish to some porn board
shame that you would still have to deal with me
Look at this psycho making a death threat.
The poo poster is probably as scared as hell right now.
Actually that's a federal offense isn't it? Making an online death threat? Didn't some guy just get arrested in the US for similar shit?
Many such cases. Its probably because they like to hide the simplicity of their games, and their useless AI, behind layers of deliberate obfuscation.
>Actually that's a federal offense isn't it?
Making a death threat, whether implicit or direct, verbally or written, is a criminal offense in most countries. Saying "in minecraft" is no defense, as a few people have found out. At the end of the day it comes down to how seriously the authorities want to take it. At worse they can be arrested and charged, at best they just get a visit and it gets logged.
If you paid for the game, you're fricked.
These are the type of kids playing paracuck games nowadays huh?
I think I'm going to lose the game. The radicals just keep growing. I'm at 110k now.
I FIGURED OUT HOW TO INCREASE MARKET ACCESS BY USING A ROAD MAINTENANCE DECREE!
VICBROS... WE'RE WINNING!
I accidentally deleted a tooling workshop that I'd upgraded twice. I'm gonna start over now. I fricking hate myself.
I think maybe you should enter voluntary psychiatric care, because you're obviously brain damaged.
How do you play this game without getthing diarrhea and have to go to the bathroom every 5 mins?
you put groups into your government to be able to pass laws
for example i had to put the "intellectuals" into the government in order to pass the "open borders" law
if a group dislikes the law you are trying to pass, they will slow down its RNG progress and if their effect is too strong you will have to kick them out in order to pass that law
that's about it
the system otherwise makes 0 sense whatsoever and you should not overthink it too much, at best it was put there as an afterthought
Is there a cost to reforming my government? When I look at different governments I make, the amount of radicals is projected to rise. Is reforming something I should avoid doing?
radicals are basically irrelevant until they're relevant, then become irrelevant again. don't just flip flop all over the place for no reason but do bring in shitter groups to start enacting a law then kick them out. it'll take longer to pass the law but some groups can't even be in the government unless you have very low taxes or are willing to take 50% longer on every rng roll so bringing them in on very low only to kick them out immediately after you start trying to pass the law is a very effective trick.
Just fricking read the screen, you have to be baiting.
>i had to put the "intellectuals" into the government in order to pass the "open borders"
Found the chud that didn't play the game
If paradox is too complicated for you, there are alternatives.
OP would guaranteed get into a decadence death spiral, and probably into tons of debt from not understanding trade mechanics
The political and economic discourse enveloping Victoria is undeniably intriguing, particularly as it intertwines with avant-garde social movements that were concurrently transpiring in various regions of the world. One of the most intellectually transformative experiences in my existence was my introduction to the paradigm of Marxist historiography. Contrary to the conventional narrative of history, which predominantly emphasizes the exploits of prominent leaders, armed conflicts, and momentous legal edicts, Marxist historiography places substantial weight on the economic and social forces that shape the human experience.
Victoria 3 has masterfully captured this essence, providing an exhilarating platform that stimulates my intellectual faculties beyond measure. Indeed, my enthusiasm for the game is so intense that it engenders a rather peculiar physiological response: the loss of control over my anal sphincter, resulting in an unexpected and copious expulsion of fecal matter akin to molten lava cascading from a volcanic eruption.
poo anon saves the thread (and board) once again
Your words moved me the same way Victoria 3 moves my bowels
>introduce more and more convoluted mechanics
>gameplay doesn't get any deeper
paradox in a nutshell
God the vicky UI has so much wasted space.
mobile gaming era
Ok guys I'm starting to get a handle on the very very basics of this. I have question though, I have two "expensive government goods" here. Iron and tools. What does this mean? I understand it's generally a bad thing, so how would I get that price down? I tried implementing an export tariff to discourage supply leaving my economy in the hopes of lowering prices, doesn't seem to be doing enough though.
I feel like I should build iron mines so I can supply iron to my tool workshops and then build tool workshops to increase the supply of tools, reducing prices, and therefore increasing the profitability of all buildings involved, including the mines. Is this making sense?
>have two "expensive government goods" here. Iron and tools. What does this mean?
That you are producing/importing more than consuming/exporting. If the export route is your own, then you should just cancel it. As a rule of thumb, you should focus on construction goods first since new buildings=economic growth, and raw materials before industry because their buildings are cheaper.
Got into a war with Haiti to try and make them a dominion, the war was over so I pressed "sign peace deal" or whatever and it stopped. They're not my dominion though. I guess I had to press a button or something? Idk.
Lesson learned.
You've probably signed a white peace. You need to click on the goals on the same screen that you offer peace, kinda unintuitive
OH, ok. Thank you anon.
Gentlemen, it is obvious there is a real war being fought here. On one side we have the Vicky fanbois desperately trying to talk about this shitshow of a game seriously ( lol ), on the other side we have the brave and glorious poo posters, who make their disdain clear by pooing in every Victoria 3.
The fanbois seek victory by simply making another fricking Vic3 thread everyday. The poo posters fight valiantly back by pooing in each and every thread. Who will claim victory in this cataclysmic conflict?
>Who will claim victory in this cataclysmic conflict?
I don't know, but all this excitement makes my butt do you know what.
What exactly are you insinuating, my gentleman?
OMG! I know right? My rectal regions are literally quivering and pulsating!
OP you really should have refunded this game while you had the chance
Prussia is stealing iron from me with an import trade route. How do I cancel it? It's not showing up on my market map mode.
There's the option to increase export taxes on iron which could reduce the trade and get you a little income. But also there's the more extreme option of an embargo via diplomacy.
Gotcha, I've somewhat solved the problem by using atmospheric pumps on my iron mines, but it requires that I buy coal from outside, which is very limited in supply. It works for now, though.
FRICK ALL THESE PRUSSIANS BRO. FRICKIN IRON STEALING ASS b***hES. FRICK.
It means you arent advancing. The whole games design is so you never really feel like you are growing
I've been losing money for years now. I have no idea why.
Try pausing state construction for a while
Their wages are low, likely because the factory isn't very profitable
Raise tax
cut spending on military & military
Put a tax on service or transportation, can't recall which is the good one.
Dont cut building like the other moron tells you to. Building is how you increase future GDP, cutting it now for budget will just keep you stagnant.
Service tax gets you huge money.
Also you do have to cut building as a low gdp nation, especially when you have bad economic and tax laws and huge tax waste. Though he still had enough of a buffer to afford keeping construction going. That's basically what all of your money is for as a low gdp nation, a buffer to afford to build stuff. You can't keep building when you get low because interest will frick you in the ass before you have good ways to make money and turn what would've been a year or two pause into soft bankrupcy
>Also you do have to cut building as a low gdp nation, especially when you have bad economic and tax laws and huge tax waste
Nta and nope, you don't. If you are a low gdp nation, you want to switch to cheaper construction technique, and use it to secure resources for it, too (making timber your first priority).
There are literally two things to do in this game ASAP:
- having a port
- building new shit, first to have basic resources covered, then either cash-crop or furniture/paper/tools/clothes factory (and silk if you're a Chink).
If you're not content to just sit on your hands for 20-40 weeks while one building builds, yeah you do. It's more effecient to get shit built in short bursts, especially with the decree that boosts effeciency and the bonus from construction sectors in that region. You ultimately save money while building shit faster.
>How do I start?
If you want to metagame, instantly start a war. Puppet some african nation noone would care about or go in on denmark if you're feeling spicy. Just try to keep infamy below 25 but above 0. For the rest, when it comes to construction look at the most expensive non-consumer good, ex:wood, paper, arms, ect and then look down the chain for expensive goods if it requires any. If you have expensive paper but cheap wood then build paper, if you expensive paper and wood build logging, and so on. When it comes to laws sweden actually starts with pretty good laws. Trying to pass legal guardianship might be worth it for the birth rate, or you'll want to eat some high pop states to centralize your industry there instead because the low pop is going to hurt your growth eventually.

Ok anon I'll try my best. I've never had a mind for economics, but one day I'll have an intuitive grasp of how this game works.
>one day I'll have an intuitive grasp of how this game works
Extremely unlikely since you are obviously as stupid as shit. But then the game is shit, so perhaps you are well matched.
>you'll want to eat some high poo states to centralize your pooing there instead because the low poo is going to hurt your anus eventually
FIXED!
Its hilarious reading these morons "oh so serious" comments about a shitty game. Its like watching morons spazz out on a game of tic tac toe
why are you on a thread about victoria3 and related game advice if you hate it?
Ever heard of gatekeeping you fricking troony
>gatekeeping
>on Ganker of all places
lmao ok troony
Maybe destroy some of your construction buildings. It seems construction goods are costing you.
there is nothing bad about deficit spending anon
as long as the economy grows faster than the loans you won't have too worry about going bankrupt. luckily the game tells you if your spending is sustainable by making the numbers white like on your screen. it's only when they are red that you actually need too worry because it means the deficit is growing faster than the economy is.
That's not what the colors really mean. White means a positive balance without construction expenses while red is negative even without constructing anything
Everything is so expensive. All of my goods are inflated above base price. I'm going insane.
Base price does not mean anything in this game. It's optimal for some goods to be consistently above the base price.
Trying to figure out where my radicals are coming from and I see these laborers are struggling. Why? I don't get it.
You know what, I'm just gonna call it for tonight. I'll start a fresh game, still as Sweden, tomorrow. I'll focus on just construction centers, then building rye farms to bring all my peasants out of subsistence plots before I focus on iron/tools. We'll see how that works.
The wild whirlwind surrounding Victoria has me all aflutter, especially when I think of its genius designer, the one and only Wiz! It's an exhilarating adventure, tangled up in all kinds of quirky social happenings around the world. One of the most mind-boggling discoveries I've ever made was the delightful domain of Marxist historiography. Instead of the usual parade of bigwigs, battles, and laws, it zooms in on the moolah and social ruckus that really gets people's hearts a-thumping.
Victoria 3, Wiz's pièce de résistance, has cooked up this tasty treat like a master chef, whipping together a fantastic feast for my intellect that leaves me craving more. I must admit, my admiration for the game and its creator has grown to the point where I can't help but daydream about making sweet, sweet love to the marvelous Wiz. His mind is a treasure trove of brilliance, and I'm completely smitten by the way he has designed such a captivating gaming experience. Oh, Wiz, you dashing maestro, you've got my heart racing and my passions aflame!
Hands off, you shameless HUSSY! For Wiz is mine! MINE I SAY! The day will come when I and Wiz are married and then we shall settle down in a cozy little log cabin somewhere in the foot hills of Appalachia. In winter he will go out trapping rats for dinner while I stay at home darning his socks and polishing his chastity belt. Then in the evening after we have eaten, we will lay by the fire nestled together in each other's hairy arms. One day I will unlock his chastity cage and let him place his seed inside my warm and fertile anal womb. Then I shall give birth to his poo children and our lives will be complete.
for me? it's meneth
Low class act. If its one thing Victoria 3 has taught me its the importance of good breeding. Look at that thing. Would she be able to nurture your baby poos? Does she produce quality sewerage from her dried up nipples? Would you even trust her to bathe your beautiful bouncing infant turds in the bath tub?
I didn't think so...
No! She would probably flush the pride of your life down the toilet, without even the bare comfortable of a toilet paper wrapping, and then act all pissy about it.
Just thinking about it gets me all upset! Oh the Poomanity!
Why is this game so fricking shit. I got bored and downloaded it again and holy shit they didn't fix anything all the problems are there, why are people defending this game? They literally left the best parts of Vic 2 out and turned into a fricking patrician, anno domini esque game but way fricking worse.
>Why is this game so fricking shit.
Are you suggesting....are you implying....are you saying that....Victoria 3.... is a lump of POO????
Things are running smoothly. I have my first railway.
some policies that you already have are incredibly unpopular, for little to no gain
getting rid of them and replacing them with popular alternatives gives you massive amounts of room to implement things that actually matter, even if unpopular
popularity, unpopularity and indifference are depicted by colored bars
pic related is a good example, if you hypothetically started with "peasant levies" you would have a massive -33% disapproval. going to "national militia" would be a great improvement, completely removing the disapproval and replacing it with +33% approval. you can utilize this to pacify dissidents and increase your room for other unpopular reforms
it's clear that the devs took inspiration from democracy games, but fricked it up epically and created an infantile political system with a meta, where massive, state-altering reforms can effortlessly and peacefully happen within a few years
I've been staring at this screen for like 30 minutes not sure what to do. I know how to keep an economy from collapsing now. I have a vague idea of how to increase GDP. IDK what to build though. I have coal in Scania that I could mine. Idk if I should do that right away though. There's tons of wood, I have great wood and iron production due to state-based throughput buffs. I think that boosts production. Idk where to start.
How do I start?
you start by taking a BIG, FAT, STEAMY DUMP
this will help you clear up your mind
with your mind and colon cleared, the ideas will start flooding naturally
unless your toilet floods first like it happened to me, then things get more complicated
Had to start over again.
This game is really frustrating.
Just relax. Let your anal sphincter fully open. The poos will come rushing out soon enough. As you look down at the congealing pool of cooling diarrhea around your ankles you will know you have experienced the absolute excitement of Victoria 3 for the first time.
I have to admit a grudging respect both for the limp wristed spasmotards who continue to push this garbage game and the poo posters who continue to shit on it. It takes real dedication to keep up such a bombastic series of posts for year after year.
>Make Vic3 thread.
>Is it good yet?
>Yes anon its good
>No anon its shit
>"Some diatribe about Marxist economics"
>"I made lots of poos cos of Vic3"
>Make another Victoria 3 thread
Repeat for thread after thread, year after year. Quite impressive really.
I come to see whats going on(because /vst/ is slow as hell) and I am both annoyed and amazed
But tbh its just tiresome
my anus is in ecstasy over the dialectical materialism of this masterpiece
Its shocking really, when I tell people about Victoria 3, my friends, girls I like, family, work colleges, the boss, and describe how my rectal passages literally quiver and pulsate with excitement, so much so that I expunge a deluge of diarrhea approaching biblical proportions, they look at me all funny. I mean what's odd about getting so enthused about a game of such deep strategic insight, such intricate military and economic machinations, such historically accurate social dynamics, that one loses complete control over one's anal sphincter? Surely everyone can appreciate the immaculate standards and finesse of Victoria 3. To the extent that they can at very least understand why sometimes I have to immediately drop my pants and take an explosive runny shit right in front of them.
Why the frick aren't infamy and research progress part of the HUD in Vicky 3? Those are two of the most important things for any player to be keeping tabs on, and you have to go into separate screens to keep up with their progress. Vicky 2 recognized this, why did they remove it here?
>There's a mod for that
Yeah, ok, good, great, excellent, why is that not in the vanilla fricking game?
>Law enactment stalled x3 in a row
At least it's not a "debate" which is just a stall but worse. such as splitters or bureaucracy where both options frick you
I love the one that's -10% tax, but it's actually -50% that fricks your country up for 5 years. Very cool.
"Never before in Victoria 3 gaming has so much poo been pooed out by so many poo posters"
-Winston Churchill
In the realm of gaming, where Victoria 3 thrives,
A whirlwind of laughter, our spirits it drives.
But little did we know, as we built empires grand,
Our tummies would churn, like a marching band.
With each click and command, our forces we sent,
Our bowels wobbled like jelly, completely unbent.
The game's wild excitement, a rollercoaster ride,
Made us lose control, oh how we tried!
But despite all the silliness, our love won't subside,
For Victoria 3 keeps us glued to our side.
We'll navigate the laughter, the wacky and fun,
For this game we adore, it's second to none!
OMG! Your posts are overwhelming me with Victoria 3 patriotic fever! I have RIVERS of LIQUID POO flowing out of my WIDE OPEN anal sphincter! Surely I will drown!
I woke up this morning with sticky lumps of foul stinking shit clinging to my ass. I had been dreaming of Victoria 3. Again.
Can this be classified as a wet dream?
After playing Victoria 3 for a while I can definitely say there have been at least 4 major number of improvements for me. Here, I will list them:
1) Excrement multiplied
2) Poos liquefied
3) Rectum enlarged
4) Anal sphincter stretched
Today I played Victoria 3. I would have to say its been the most fun I have had in a long time. Even more fun that when my uncle got drunk at my sister's wedding, pulled his pants down and pissed onto the cake. How we all laughed. But I must admit I was also surprised by Victoria 3. I didn't expect my ass to produce so much liquid shit. Buckets of it. Can I expect this to happen every time?
Victoria 3 is like a laxative to me
No matter how much I evacuate, any mention or thought of this masterpiece of a game feels me up with such great excitement, I simply cannot help myself
Almost soiled myself twice at work already... Ugh! Just typing this out... Now I need to visit the toilet again!
Brother in Poo, you think that's bad? I just soiled myself reading your post! On my mobile phone. On a long haul bus! Shit dripping everywhere. We dont stop for another three hours! Little old lady across the aisle is already giving me funny looks.
>play Greece
>Get in britains custom union
>Good times and explosive growth gdp goes up to 60m in the 60's with 11 SOL and I'm running out of pop so fast I need constant expansion just so I can get more pop to work more to build more
>I get kicked out of the custom union for some unknown reason because britain's relations dropped from 80 to -73 instantly for some unknown reason
>GDP drops to 14m SOL drops to 6 radicals everywhere because noone wants to work because they want to be paid enough so goods aren't being produced so prices can't go down so people can purchase everything they need
Game over I guess.
Don't quit. You must keep playing until every last drop of poo has been squeezed out of your ass.
>SANCTIONS DON'T WORK guys
>for some unknown reason
You can just hover on the relations modifier to know the reason
Boutta go take a shit. Pray for me.
Brother, I will pray not only for the strength of your anus but I will pray also for the structural integrity of your toilet bowl. Those Victoria 3 poos can be highly destructive. High velocity fragments of shattered porcelain are no joke.
>Bernadotte
Why did Swedish nobles elect some swarthy napoleonic general from italy as their king again?
They were desperate and wanted to ally with Napoopan, but then they saw the writing on the wall and allied with Britain while still keeping him, since he was already the crown prince and popular to boot.
Like with most Swedish kings, the Norwegians cucked him when he tried to annex Norway.
It's funny to me that the "omg Paradox games are so hard to get into!" meme still persists even though they've been more casualized every game
>It's funny to me that the "omg Paradox games are so hard to get into!"
They may be hard to get into but one thing is for certain, the sheer excitement Victoria 3 creates make sure the poos aren't hard to get out!
>even though they've been more casualized every game
Vic 2 was more casual than Vic 3. You could just let lib'ruls/anarcho-lib'ruls rule with their laissez faire policies, set tariffs to 0, set low taxes for wealthy people, and then you'd have nothing to do except researching new technologies and building new armies. In the end you'd make great power out of fricking Uruguay. Now in Vic 3, you can't do that, you have to constantly be in the game, you have to build this and that, to expand the railway here or there, to make this decision or that, to look at your interest groups and their needs. It's much more complex now.
Can confirm! The pattern of my poo has definitely gotten more complex! Plus it comes out easier!!
Ughhh... So many painful nights of constipation before the V3 release... No more
Praise the Holy Poo of Victoria 3! Bless you Brother! May your anal opening remain forever gaping!
There is no complexity in playing whack a mole with your resources in a cookie clicker gameplay loop
Just shitters and casuals.
Why is my wheat farm not producing anything
Why did it tank the state gdp to 0
It's unprofitable but I don't care about profits, I subsidized it. Why isn't it doing anything?
"productivity 0" means it is unprofitable, not that you are not producing anything
you are producing tens of thousands of grain, which has a very low price evident by the single bronze coin icon
you are supposed to fix this by manually setting up export routes for grain and increase its price
alternatively you can change the production method so you produce less grain or you can set up another industry that consumes a lot of grain to increase domestic demand
the game is garbage, the economy is 100% manual and next to nothing is done without the player constantly changing between tabs and clicking buttons
i find the misusage of words like "free market" or "capitalism" extremely amusing in a game meant for commie larpers
I think it's fairly interesting and engaging to optimize a production chain, where you constantly go "ah ok now this input good needs to be produced more which means I need more of this RGO"
It's interesting and engaging once or twice. Then you realize that you need to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME you wanna increase your GDP, no matter how big your country is
So the grand farm was a success then, as my goal was to tank the price of grain and sugar to raise SOL, not to profit.
The whole state gdp dropping to 0 threw me for a loop thinking the game said no and halted all production.
>sol
well keep in mind that the wages paid to the workers are partially proportional to how well the farm is doing and you got almost 1 million employed there (unless you don't care about them)
$4/worker is terrible i believe
also note that goods have a price floor
after -75%, no matter how much the supply/demand ratio increases the price remains the same
also your sugar price is high
They're turks so I don't care too much but I also have max welfare and when I can actually get workers protections passed I'll have that max too so it's not too bad.
Sugars still high though yeah I'm going to have to build another grand farm or find a high pop sugar state that supports a lot of plantations.
The hiring symbol is red, meaning the factory cannot fully staff the building. Hover over it and figure out why.
It just says they want to hire more and has a tooltip at the bottom about wages but it doesn't say anything about wages or why they can't hire more. That's part of why I thought it broke.
just checking, vic 3 gameplay is still micromanaging every single industry borefest?
Yes but there are now ways to automate it, partially or entirely
It has certainly automated my bowel movements!
I only have to think of Victoria 3 and a veritable FLOOD of HOT LIQUID POO gushes out of my flapping ANAL SPHINCTER!
Welcome to Paradox, where by the time you learn to fully read the UI you're already good enough to conquer the planet so it doesn't matter anyways.
Actually that sounds quite excitin...OMG! What is happening? My anus is suddenly expanding and.. and... OH MY FRICKING GOD! I AM POOING MY PANTS OFF!
