I FIXED The HARDEST START in VICTORIA 3 | TEXAS |

Looking to Buy the New DLC For VICTORIA 3?

Texas has the hardest start in the game, You have to first beat Mexico then beat America, two powers both many times your size in magnitude. In this video I fixed that problem by coming up with a foolproof plan to win independence as Texas in Victoria 3.

Little historical context: this was actually the tactic Sam Houston used in real history to defeat Mexico. He disbanded the Texas army at the headquarters, and they all teleported to the battlefield of San Jacinto and overwhelmed Santa Anna’s army. This innovative act won him the title “the father of Texas”

Texas conquers America as a British colony. What a cursed timeline.

Have german as the primary culture, and you can have the texadeutsch which is a real group

I really wish there was a journal entry of some sort that would allow Texas to enforce its claimed borders

“We’re gonna bait the ai into attacking us”

so… exactly what the Texans did back then?

I think Victoria 3 is best enjoyed as the minor countries. They give you such modular and in-depth control that is hard to replicate when you start as such a large country such as Great Britian. Texas is a perfect example of it!

If you managed to make Texas work in the new patch, do you think you could try making Iquicha work (puppet of Bolivia at the start of the game)? They can *potentially* form Tawantinsuyu -- the Inca Empire, basically -- and mechanics like foreign countries now being able to guarantee your independence, and subjects being able to ally each other, might make things easier, but the Peru-Bolivian Confederation puts you on an incredibly difficult 10-year timetable to not just secure independence, but utterly dismantle your overlord before you get annexed. And this is something you have to pull off as a tiny, unrecognized power that is not only landlocked, but completely surrounded by Peru, which will likely(?) unify if left to its own devices.

I'd almost prefer starting at war if they at least had a coastline.

Two minutes in and bro retires Sam Houston.... nah man, my Texan brain is triggered

[WarSnipez]

firing houston off the rip is a borderline treasonous action

[mr.negativenancy]

Paradox should unironically make the default texas commander have this trait, so we can actually see Texas now and again

[jefffranklin]

Texan Mongolian retreat tactics go hard asf

I've been looking through vicky youtubers casually since I moved from eu4 to vic3 a few months ago but no one really clicked. Then this video was suggested to me, I bit, and instantly felt so good about the production and vibes that I instantly subscribed in less than 2 minutes. I'm hopeful I found my vicky guy.

Victoria 3: the worst starting nation
Victoria 2: the best starting nation

[rafelliott]

Honestly now I want to try this myself- make historical CSA borders as Texas plus Cuba. Could be a fun little RP scenario, plus as a Texan this sort of thing makes me happy

Excellent strategy, after your initial moves quelling Mexico to regain Texas, I decided to go on my own path. It’s now the year 1850, I managed to grab Rio Grande from Mexico, I am now in the US’s power bloc and have them as an ally, and my treaty with Mexico is almost up so it’s about to get good. I appreciate all of your insight to allow this to happen!

[craftiee]

You're a pretty cool dude, you and Ludi singlehandedly got me to play vic3. 53 hours and currently destroying my life lol.

Loved the tropico music throughout the vid

If you’re struggling with money as early texas, you can just import or export and tariff the crap out of trade routes and spawn in money, this also allows you to drop taxes completely, at least from my experience.
