ty for this, this is one of the most complex modern games paradox has made

[przemysawjodczyk]

I love when people first upload "ULTIMATE GUIDE" and after a few days DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKES...

I think it should be said that being in debt at a low level (like 25%) is really not a problem if your interest rate is not very high. Saving up that Gold basically means keeping it out of the economy and not being productive. Also: the interest payments go to your pops so it’s almost like boosting your economy with cash!

[NoradNoxtus]

One more small tip, make sure to tap into your authority capacity before unpausing. Generally, you will decide which states are suited for what depending on what modifiers they get. Eg, Norrland has 20% throughput for iron and wood so that's where the tool makers' base resources get made. So for that state, I'll tap 100 Authority to decree "Encourage Resource Industry" and also "Greener Grass Campaign" in all my to-be-developed states. You can easily untap Authority later on to bolster IGs or set consumption tax on whenever you want so just experiment, you can't go wrong! :)

Thanks for getting out a tutorial so quickly! We need all the help we can get with this game

[Nota-Skaven]

Me as Prussia (now Germany) looking at "balance the books"

interesting, very nice

[bowenc]

Wow thanks man, playing Belgium right now, trying to figure this all out. This video really helped!

[snarkyjay]

Thanks for the video! I started as Sweden (like most new Vic 3 players) and I thought I was building up my economy, but my GDP grew very slowly compared to my neighbors and I ended up falling in rank after a while. I saw there was a great need for basics like wood on the market, so I expanded those industries, but I guess I neglected more complex goods? Not sure what I did wrong, but I look forward to future videos from you! Thanks again for the content!

[Herr_Lobter]

Thank you! I really liked your overview of what you covered at the end of the video. It was a nice recap!

[ItIsYouAreNotYour]

This is the best tutorial out there so far. Learned more in just the first 2 tips than other videos combined. Thanks, keep it coming, please!

[aa]

thanks for this. i play persia first in every pdx game

[PS-G]

tnx for picking Persia for explaining usually there isn't much guides related

[rebuilt]

this helped so much. im having a hard time getting going in the beginning. i just dont get what im supposed to be doing and why. this video helped alot.

[fourier]

I actually found out that building your gold reserves in early game is not the best idea, you really want to invest money in buildings so that in the mid and late game you have a proper economy, even if it means going into debt.

[JackoBanon]

I played the game 5 hours already and my economy still falls apart after a few ingame years.
So thank for the help! Really appreciated!

[sanctamachina]

Here goes another tutorial. Maybe if I watch enough of them I'll stop bankrupting my country.

[Gregatron]

Every time I get a new paradox game, I watch tutorials then say "But what do you do at the start of every campaign?" Thank you!!

[colinalkiin]

Thanks for the tutorial so quickly too. It would take me at least a week to feel as confident as you haha thanks man!

[alaskanbullworm]
