ULTIMATE Guide to Victoria 3 - COMPLETE Tutorial With Timestamps

TIMESTAMPS BELOW!

A brand new grand strategy game from Paradox is here, and it's none other than Victoria 3 itself. This is a massively complicated game which is likely to take you dozens of hours - if not hundreds - to truly learn, so I thought I'd help you on the path to dominate the world of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

In this massive beginner's guide, I take you though every aspect of Victoria 3, from military, trade goods, trade routes, markets, production, population, and interest groups, all the way to politics and laws, diplomacy, warfare and diplomatic plays. Everything you need to know about Victoria 3 is in this video, but if you have further questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment, and I'll do my best to answer them :)

Well, given that I've launched the game about an hour ago and immediately realized I had no fucking idea how to play it, this video is a godsend.

[gaborszili]

Well here I am, 3 hours into Vicky 3 and having no idea what is going on, please save me!

[tophatowl]

That moment when you buy a new game and the first thing you do is watch a 2 hr guide. You know the tutorial is kinda mid when you need an amazing guide that does it 1000x better. Thank you for helping immensly in figuring out what to do.

[filibertogarced]

A full guide just hours after the game is released.
You are a hero 🙌

[ihavenoidea]

Victoria 2 is such a classic I hope this game gets a lot of user created content like HOI4

[scrappile]

I am a avid Stellaris player and thought this game looked really fun and peaceful. I've cried five times in three hours of my last playthrough 😭😭

[FrancescoBedini]

Me, an italian, looking at a perfectly done tutorial using two sicilies. Perfection👌🏻. You have my full gratitude Fratello.

[Crusader-ehcv]

Man I needed this so bad. This game is probably the most complex of any pdx game.

[whicker]

I love this video for many reasons. The best is that he is not just telling you what you have to do or how to min/max it. He leaves the exploring of the actions we take up to us. He just does a fantastic job of getting everyone familiar with the screens and smaller buttons that get missed very easy in Paradox games. Great video my guy! I look forward to watching the other videos you have.

[benstreeval]

I've watched a lot of guides for Vic 3 but I can say that this is 100% the "ultimate" guide. Thank you!

[carinha]

Im a big fan of hoi4, and I consider myself to be an excelent player. Yet, It took me around one year of pain and suffer to finnally get to say "hey, I know how to play hoi4!". I recently bought vic 3 and it has been a big fear. "Am I going to take one entire year or more to get the hang of this?". I never considered watching one of these hours-long tutorials/guides, but I was desesperated. This was refreshing. I actually feel confident to play now, mainly with two sicilies :) Thank you a lot!

[jnoyes]

I played the game for three hours last night but felt so completely lost. This video helps a lot! I feel much more confident going back into it.

[mekal]

Havent played Vicky 2 but played all other paradox games im sure ill need this video thank you for making it

[pzmo]

make guide on shtty krakow city start if u r such an expert

[sheepyscreepys]

Such a well-structured and understandable Tutorial I have not seen for a long time! thank you very much !!!

[rizaldiaulia]

this is the most comprehensive guide I've found so far. this is the first time I played the Victoria series, and I can say that the mechanics are too overwhelming for me, the first hour I played this game was enough to make me want to uninstall the game right away. 😭
but after I watched this video, now I understand how beautifully the mechanics were made.
you are indeed a hero, Andy!! 👊🙏

[konfuchie]

Thank you! I'm sick of Paradox YouTubers making 20 minutes videos expecting us to learn something...

[belphegor_dev]

Imagine how much more complex Vicky will be after a couple of feature updates and DLCs.

[Koczu]

50 min of video and my head is ready to explode

[srikaul]

Your video is pure genius. One of the best guides I’ve seen. Especially for such a complex game…
