Sphere of Influence

Ohh yes, The world ethnostate that doesn't discriminate.

[rotomfan]

Goddamnit this one still isn't fixed? And the rest of us are still stuck waiting for an actual Turtle Island guide lmao

[TobyYellsAtThings]

Damn I never even thought to start as France.

I think you should be able to Confederate with large swathes of Africa by getting the Afro-American heritage into the mix. Releasing an Afro state on NA should do the trick (which, in turn, would mean free state to Africa)

India: Am I not turtlely enough for the turtle club?

[teodorene]

That was the most effective way of eating GPs in the previous patch, and it should still work now. Just make Qing Belligerent and then feed them British Columbia.

[MrFlipToy]

The so-called "Turtling strategy", if I dare say so myself

[mrfoomanmusic]

You have the best Vic 3 videos on YouTube. No debate. Excellent content. Thank you. Can you do this as USA?

Sorry to be the pronunciation guy but Métis is pronounced 'maey-TEE' in English or 'may-tis' in French

[sethyboy]

Edit: A couple other things I've figured out: If you grab alaksa and chukotka form russia and release nunuvut instead of metis then you don't have to wait for hudson bay company to colonize. You can also then click the button to turn Athabaska into a real country (after you eat france) and then annex them before giving alaska back to russia (since you said it needs to be fully colonized, though maybe that was just a border problem).

Philippines is possible through the Philippines since they have Spanish primary culture.

The only heritage groups you can’t do are Indian and central asian. If you could do one of those you could possibly do both because of tags like India and Pakistan (which you’d have to make exist some how).

East Asian is easiest to get by releasing Ezo in Ainu. Ezo has east and north asian heritage.

North asian via Siberia which also has inuit.

African via Louisiana which has Cajun (European).

Middle eastern via Israel (Sephardim has two heritages) or Transcaucasia since it has some euro cultures too.

South East Asian via Philippines which has spanish.

On double checking it looks like indigenous oceanic is not possible either but that doesn’t help you much anyway.

You don’t get all the primary cultures you only get one. This means you might have to release a country and eat it multiple times to get the culture you want (like Azerbaijani from Transcaucasia).

I wish they hadnt taken away the ability to get recognition through war. I like that they added a way to be recognized without it - for me thats actually more useful - but sometimes war is the better option and it would've been nice to still have that option. That is the more 'realistic' way anyways when you consider the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-5.
Also, this whole strategy is absolutely absurd. I love it and I hope they dont change it.

[mechano]

I'm just surprised it took you this long to make a video on it, it's a fun run for sure once you pull it off. France method is even better though, much nice. I hope that Paradox never patches this tbh.

[theunionjack]

If you wanna go into China use the Philippines, they have philipino which allows for south East Asian

[ztheo]

i just realised if you do this in MP you could get africa through the us too. or through haiti maybe

[grahamturner]

I remember using this as Paraguay back in 1.6. At least there's a different way to do it now, as the Paraguay strategy is almost impossible without mods (State Transfer tool).

[demavend]

This tech is wack. Props to the wizards in your discord.

[generalhades]

does the exploit no longer work? did this EXACTLY but greenland doesnt pop the turtle island interaction for some reason

[amarminhas]

You mispronounced metis. Its like May-tee

[blargminton]

so to understand how this would work for qing, they would take canada, release greenland and greenland would have a chinese and native american heritage for their accepted culture so you could annex them as metis?

[hipponeb]

Great video, only question is do you just conquer the Hudson Bay states as France or how did you acquire those?
