Victoria 3 - China Gameplay Summary

hey folks quill 18 here and welcome to another episode of line go up simulator it's Victoria 3 we're playing as China and we are deciding to give our economy a kick in the pants by simply building an unlimited amount of construction sectors for the Private Industry to take advantage of which apparently we should have done maybe sooner Persia support Independence I mean later we might get involved in more of these things we'll see organized crime Ah that's expensive this is the oh yeah lose Authority which would send us negative but just barely under attack hey great game company so I believe Atari comes from a term in go specifically um informance have learned the existence of the reformed China Society Al has detailed plans on an uprising in Guangdong and its members are now arrested Sun yatsen one of the leaders has invaded capture he wants parliamentary Republic would be wise to try for Japan or England evaded capture he could be anywhere in China so this person would stick around he would be agitating for parliamentary Republic how do I feel about that I think if I recall correctly I just saw a discussion on Reddit that currently parliamentary Republic is not something that any of the ideologies really support very much I mean we've already got a we we do already have some support for it problem is it would still radicalize the scholars and basically unpossible to not have them become radicalized we need to be um so happy with this it's interesting CU itus 20 from 5 to minus5 except they're at 14 right now but I guess what would happen is they'd get a minus 20 they go from 14 to minus 6 and that would get them presumably crank enough to Lo leave the government or something and that would complete the thing actually oh sorry I misreading it the scholar officials would be a minus 6 but they wouldn't be radicalized it's a confusion Scholars 7.3 that might be okay and we be getting more H this is Artistic impression Mar League I want the interest group for Literati probably I'll do that I mean I I maybe we'll make some moves for Prussia I don't know I'm wondering sure we're going to get a second agitator to enact parliamentary Republic oh you're State religion so there's already this movement oh you already there I guess you were already here is what it is it said up here but you were already there okay so we don't actually have more support for it which is a shame okay we've got paused when we're not doing the construction supp we might want to give it a beat just to make sure those existing construction places are fully hired and everything but yeah otherwise all the construction is going there and again we could we could afford more of the this construction pool uh ooh glass pric is going up which makes sense because this uses a lot of glass I don't yet have the no soon we'll get the next level oh right we freed up a ton of bureaucracy by getting the welfare get rid of the welfare as well okay this is all going very good get rid of the welfare so we can invest more in schools is actually phenomenal for us let me just check that our glass Market is on the best modes yeah crystal glass I could go for more bone china or I could lower it which right now would be profitable I think I'm going to leave it on ceramics I think the solution is to just build more glass stuff and again we're hoping the private thing does that um I think the L Fiat can build infrastructure but I don't yeah and it clearly is Southern Manu let me queue up um three over here really quick to get rid of your deficit anywhere that the well the zero might not be quite as important but yeah it's fine and say anywhere where it's not currently being built we might want to deal with this permitted in State religion I don't want that although it is going to continue to radicalize them more offers opportunity anti- Russia wants a defensive Packa with Persia lots of people are in here all right fine let's for a defensive pack okay Lobby opportunity completed is going to make some people the anti-british association all right you know what I agree Britain sucks let's embargo them I guess I should have uh supported that earlier but you're a little less pissy now who's actually in this one the scholars who are probably going to hate me regardless so maybe it doesn't matter too much now theoretically and I'm assuming there's no glass import to be had well there's some from Russia although again we might not be friends with Russia for long Glass Works are in the queue good that's what we want to see okay we're going to burn off our debt and then we're going to start dropping our taxes is going to be part of our goal here there we go GDP goes up oh we can clearly support more construction too yeah what am I talking about dropping taxes no sort yeah sort by job Seekers I think is fine and let's fill up henan henan with more construction sectors borrowing a little bit from the investment pool oh they're still running negative right now despite the fact that I'm using some of the construction capacity for myself oh so I think that's the right thing boom boom boom yeah drain this and we've got years worth over here although that's going to create more of a demand for glass you know what probably makes sense for us to go and subsidize a little bit of direct glass construction big earnings in Beijing which makes sense because they're going to have a construction industry I'm just going to set set up 10 we could do more for um stacking efficiency but the Private Industry is still building some glass works and you know they might pick it up in Beijing but Beijing clearly got a lot of demand for it partially because they do have the construction sectors I suspect all the places where the glass industry is predicted to be the most profitable are probably places where there is a construction Market um H I think I am subsidizing all the railways everywhere think I just have that turned on well would if you had any hey what I'm going to Al click one over here I know you had one in Private Industry but let's just get you in here think we had some other Construction just went on in this state so I suspect they're going to need a fair bit blam good money money's kind of going up very quickly not doing a very good job of paying off that debt what's her interest 80k yeah it's going to take a long time to burn away this stuff but nearing about a half a million over here dialectics okay that's more education so influence maneuver influence maneuver we save some bureaucracy from these which might be worth it realism Prestige realist art different patronage modes these are tier three nationalism don't think there's anything we particularly need right now we might want another one of these or I we burn through all the level two military Tech still need to do a war against a major power I.E Russia and I do expect we get a lot of recognition that way although don't know it's going to be full for all I know it's this meter it just gives us an alternate way to earn recognition without a CB and winning a war against a major power still fills it up we're almost you know they literac going up very quickly and oh did I hit the button no I did not level three so work should be able to hit the 40% literacy relatively quickly at this point 175 GDP per capita is still miles away and the standard of living 162 is still not great okay prove that oh journal entries philosophy Department yeah um that's fine so move our universities over to philosophy department is what we're going to want to do and we should have the level perfectly fine um boom and secular yeah it's fine government Administration I think we'll go for full secular Administration here as well um we can probably go to Power the port over there is going to be okay this is done University Building throughput socialism progress H maybe I didn't actually take a look what's our yeah we're still well over cap over here so I don't think we need more throughput let's take the move towards socialism which is quite interesting we can definitely support more construction scre let's do it you already had a little you have decent population done done done done that's we're not having control we're hoping that they're building not stupid that's a big hope uh convoys you know I think we can probably go ham with these ports actually might be another good way to fill in some of these lacking infrastructures I'm going to cap it out in Beijing and do some of that so we get some convoys also offset some of this infrastructure issue that's more expenses on our own keep doing that party favorites yes this is fine donation knowledge free University I'll take it corn Manifesto parliamentary Republic sure pleasement over there Scholars officials are really happy okay if we did this right Scholars officials minus 7 still fine currently radicalize the scholars hopefully not enough to start some crap okay let's try it land of want have they tried being less poor uh this Hur Bazi boo other things we'll do it that way and yeah less tax income sucks reduced education access sucks but I think yeah we're going to break the monarchy and I think that's going to be okay constitutional Association the bisi they actually support the Parliamentary Republic so we're going to do that for now finish these ports off O Negative well yeah we're getting the tax penalty right now so it kind of makes sense that this would go badly okay election is inzi and okay I don't want to bring the religious people in let's do this oh those are land owners think I keep doing that um I guess we'll just keep you guys in actually keep things as is so yeah we're going to take a bit of a hit right now but I think that's going to fix itself soonish hopefully our GDP should still be yeah look at this it's going freaking Super Saiyan over here with that line that's exactly what we want to see it's looking almost vertical over here we're going exponential growth glass still expensive again we're sort of hoping that these guys are in fact producing lots of glass Glass Works Glass Works Glass Works Glass Works yep baby and that's in Beijing where we built 10 so they're getting economy of scale bonuses here I don't want a coup well we're going to go the keep eye Advan it by 10% instead of 25% or do I no no we don't want to C speech Yes plus 15% okay that's significant that's really good and yeah radicals are growing to equal to our loyalist now some of that is you know being dealt with with the Parliamentary Republic but the state religion is still a problem here a big problem this might go negative here I thought we had enough of buffer oh okay we just hit level three this is still going to dip as our population continues to grow but it won't be quite the same yeah we'll see another big uptick in education explosive expensive I'll probably do is build one of these in preparation um you know what actually build five in onal support progress Retreat 15% should cancel it oh not quite dang I think we have to get it to zero for it to end okay yeah the reduction of taxes here is actually killing us yeah there're Stu a minus 10 20 until this passes and then they'll still be upset that it passed but it'll Decay want some report from the seek in Vietnam I don't want to import from Russia cuz we're going to be opposed to them seek Portugal uh oh we still have to war Portugal from maau over here maybe do that pretty soon actually I don't know if it's going to make much of a difference for us but it'll feel good Portugal wants a trade agreement I'm going to say no cuz yeah I think we're going to PP to blows over there yeah now we're running that deficit again I really wish I paid off those uh loans completely but yeah it's this over here these taxes a lot of our taxes do come from these ranches and plantations clearly Reserve monarchy not a lot of popular support but they're very radicalized uh I don't want more mood or um interest group down ticks over here that would be bad and yeah this Pi fiction is also very annoying yeah we're really hoping that this passes very quickly um can I cancel anything over here we're still bolstering the Literati which I mean maybe umption taxes road maintenance and shuni I can cancel that I go positive increase our speed a little bit I think opposition opposition parties I think we're getting a bit of a mood hit from being under Ian not by much look at these guys plus 20 now je enemies enemies is this the anti- cou advance by 25 obligation of France [Music] no come on baby tick tick tick pinned stamp out monarchism so fragile Unity if we conclude Stamp Out monarchism okay that's good true for 5 years doesn't have monarchy okay uh so we need to get an interest group changed we'll see okay um I'm going to continue with plan develop the tier 2 Military Tech I'm not going to switch our building modes right now for our Barracks because I think that'll increase some government expenditures which I want to avoid for the moment come on please progress this is ticking very slowly um can we see how long it takes per tick I guess once it's fresh oh I can Mouse over here no just base is 200 this ah so we didn't get an advance but we can substantially increase our percentage chance of success all right yeah we really need to get rid of this penalty over here minus three leader trait persistent is annoying government wages which I mean wouldn't fix it h I'm thinking you know what maybe I drop the government wages right now since it [Music] uh Lera or fine wait think I was messing over the wrong thing they don't care about government wages okay let do that save a little bit more cash are you not using up all the construction anymore no state with sufficient infrastructure and Workforce for you really really seems unlikely I'm wondering if they don't build infrastructure W they're really not using all of our construction anymore that sucks okay now it's bouncing back good as I say our like steel market and things will crash if they're not using it up did we the streets industrial radicals let's do this I think that's fine really hoping for successes here that's positive let's take a look that is not going up as fast as we'd like because of the penalty from the religious people vacuum canning is that something I can do with our food industry does it need electricity no it does need oil though it thinks it would be profitable right now but no it wouldn't actually be because of the shortage of oil I also suspect that we can't possibly make enough with just a wailing industry um this coup is sketchy they want autocracy if completed H can we get the scholars officials out no we can't they might actually succeed in their coup what like we really needed this to complete faster so that their mood would improve they might coup us and we'd lose our voting I really don't want that to happen ey works we all shall die Smoky back room yeah we need to retreat the coup a little bit okay we Advanced to Ascent that's good yeah I don't think there's any way for me to remove yeah I mean I could try but it's not going to work they still have way too much support hoping we'd break these guys maybe I should have triggered a Civil War and see if we could beat them feels kind of unlikely though okay at least the construction seems to be going now that that's great news uh GDP line continues to Skyrocket up gold depleted oh well that'll be more gold mines hopefully they build it I don't want to incue anything myself right now 100K interest now come on pass and yeah I'm hoping that once this passes things will stabilize a little bit here oh they're almost willing to start a civil war range that would remove them from government which is interesting and I don't think the Civil War would actually happen at this point we're quite close Armed Forces actually don't mind their Barracks go down although it Advanced the coup no we'll have to take the minus two on the Armed Forces but they do love me right yeah plus 18 come on finish on this tick we really need that to [Music] happen what are you up to ra oh there you go yeah more Railways which is good cuz we clearly needed that cuz that's it they're building the industry which needs more infrastructure so then they need to follow up building the railways which we're still subsidizing and I may be able to cancel how much are we spending on subsidies 8K yeah it's nothing it's nothing and ensures that things move slly slowly or smoothly the fall of the Ching Dynasty with stroke of pen two Millennia of Imperial rule has come to an end as the last Manu Emperor is escorted out the Forbidden City the world ships gates to the east what does this new age hold for China and a new flag Manu yoke has ended at last okay progress of fragile uh Unity is increased by one Manu stops being a primary culture and people become radical or it's time for reconciliation so H we don't want to bring it to zero we would like to bring it up to a five Advance winning the open War it'll Advance if we stamp out monarchism which will working on or is this is this it this might no no it's its own thing um cuz menu staying as a primary culture should be better for us let's go for reconciliation we have our parliamentary Republic stamp out monarchism so the problem is we have so we have a I think we have a powerful group that wants monarchy which makes sense cuz I that would be that would be the scholars officials they want monarchy and they're powerful so we need them either to change their mind or to no longer be powerful in theory some of their power has been weakened dramatically because they don't have monarchy right monarchy gives 25% more political strength to Aristocrats so that's now gone [Music] okay um I would like elected bureaucrats because that will further weaken them problem is we might get a coup first I don't know what I can do about that possibly nothing I could try to do the trick where we can't we disband a bunch of mil that's not in our Capital well first of all yeah okay you know what we're not going to want these Lancers let's focus on that so I think if I go transfer and expand Lancers by state actually none of these Lancers are in our capital state the problem is we might not have any any troops in in Beijing itself yeah 20 which isn't much Scholars are pretty powerful we're also quite hated by the confusion Scholars so that's my problem there's two things with Scholars in the name um and it's possible these guys would join in just for spite now that's if there's a Civil War I don't know if we're going to get that far because I'm just worried about this coup but tell you what let's disband all these Lancers they're not that useful anymore and they're costing us money I don't know if we have any others have some over here if nothing else we're going to do this because it's going to save us a few Buck Ros hey look positive for a little bit now we're not actually constructing so it' be great if that number was better oh yeah they're really pissy and we're still hitting this in the coup are they going to ex I mean that's okay orchestrated coup against Chinese State first bold act proclaimed establishment of monarchy so monarchy's back strong leaders unrival in government they get strength or long live the monarchy Oh either way they get unrivaled enables oligarchy okay oh they just went for okay hold on hold on all they did is get eliminate the voting laws we're still not a monarchy we could go to ol Archy oligarchy over here so this leaves us with autocracy this goes to oligarchy what are we looking at as a difference so autocracy head state of pow is absolute H the counter no earthly power this is the rich right head of state shares power and responsibility small group of powerful unelected individuals it still spreads it out this makes the aristocrats and capitalist power powerful this is Aristocrats and officers I think I would prefer oligarchy in this case so it's not quite as obsolete right either way we get unrivaled for 9 years this creates a new character we don't know who okay and I guess oh it changes the leader so we've got this dude protectionist well stuff definitely just got more complicated negative autocracy really or um authority over here uh I think we're going to have to stop bolstering the Literati for now just we going to keep this positive can cancel some of those consumption taxes too which hopefully but but let's go and run our money positive for a little bit here harsh [Applause] contrast who are you this is the same person right okay Ying is this from the Armed Forces Armed Forces is currently nihilist could become moderate with no stances or a reformer which is probably where we want to go to interesting no place for opportunities but no we're going to do this assist in the government I really I still don't want State religion but that might have gotten stronger overall o GDP took a little bit of dip I wonder what caused that dip standard living is actually on its way up what caused this dip oh probably me cutting some uh salaries that's probably it that makes sense Market access is basically fine it's slight shortage in a few places that's okay um oh yeah want to survey a skyscraper site I think that's been there ever since we got um steel okay the leader of the pazi Marco will play for power more power for the P Bazi I think is a good idea for us all right they have these shitty law ideas but you are anti-monarchist I'll give you some more political strength even though you're a racist and that that's maybe a problem maybe um I don't want to weaken the Literati although I like the legitimacy oh we can appease Chinese pressure Association which has is it just one thing or is there more than one there's a couple okay we'll do that pick up rifling you still have tons of money you're just not using it insufficient infrastructure which we will go and try to compute to support first of all I'm going to go and max out these Port sites there you go yes we'll spend money on it so be it we're going to Max those out which will help with infrastructure oh these two as well hold on and Max yeah we we can we can use these transports now we can take a look at things we've got good shortages for uh we can take a look to see if we're actually exporting a bunch of these hopefully not um buy orders trade routes is basically nothing all pop consumption we don't trade groceries at all and iron it doesn't surprise me oh only 152 I was going to say it wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of people were importing iron but turns out there's a lot less than expected now we'll see what happens now our convoys are only going to be used for our own trade routes I suppose actually another good thing to check at this point is let's cancel any trade routes that aren't profitable there we go we could take another look see if uh yep that's good yep profitable trade routes that we could add in and I don't care who we're trading with at this point shortage of iron is very interesting clearly build more can we export some furniture oh why isn't sorted by productivity maybe it was sorted by amounts yeah that's not much okay and yes maybe losing some money again uh we still need this to go away now this is going to burn off yeah recent changes but those will go away and actually you'll be quite happy once you start being cranky about things I mean you always already went and like murdered my previous Emperor or something so could you get over oh we didn't realize we changed colors we're blue now hey hey so we have a very colorful flag very colorful maybe the construction is insane oh oh new company sorry it's hitting escape to close that window as soon as that pop-up came out I really think those dialog boxes need like like a two second delay before they can be closed by hitting Escape cheaper military goods more steel throughput I don't think we need more of that Supply consumption Army offense more bureaucracy I mean maybe more minting with these gold mines you know Munitions conglomerate we have a lot of businesses behind it and it might save us some money again and it is I mean it is burning off but take a while also I hate this education access decrease that's so frustrating it is the same thing once we burn that off they're going to be quite pleased with us but we're having to suffer through a hard period of deficit here maybe these ports are insane but no I don't think so what are you building so much of over here oh you're building tons of shipyards which I guess will be good cuz it'll feed into the ports it's interesting cuz the currently the price of these convoys aren't that expensive or Clippers I suppose they are and we might want to make a transition to a different um do I I may want to we switch over to Steamers we probably [Music] should and our steel mines we are all on like dynamite and stuff right oh the lead mines aren't that was missed stons what's that one for uh well it should be stks three companies Prosperity oh well that's good I switch you oh these would be profitable produce less grain our grain situation is not as bad as it was also let's do these are all profitable hold on this is really good okay that would lose money probably because of shortages um let's take a look at our Market here Goods oh we have the shortage here but not by much again hopefully these guys will just catch up but we'll look at more mode changes yep good skyrocketing education going up and yeah I think our economy will be fixed as soon as these guys aren't quite so shitty about everything is there anything we could swap to make you happy actually you'd be happy with landed voting right cuz you didn't like the move back to oligarchy I would love to go back to landed voting and it's not going to terribly piss anyone off if I do that all of a sudden you're no longer cranky you get rid of the noble privileges uh or whatever it's called Noble privileges all of a sudden we're running positive money like that that was a huge Swap and overall puts me in a position I'm happier with as well okay no this is great who would support the bureaucrats just oh the scholars wouldn't like like it we'll do it at some point but maybe not yet yeah this is still not running rifling unlocked and those are all the tier 2 Military techs and what about the shipping side yep good okay we're going to build an army um actually I'll get the electric Telegraph first we do have a war we can run that but we are going to have to go and get artillery okay let's switch over to can I not steam ship at all we need G uh Gantry cranes okay you lose money on this engines hardwood I do want to switch this and yeah even if you're not profitable right now do that covered markets we you lose money let's do it these are all right we still can't do this canned fish would lose US money and then the rice Farms very unprofitable for a few different reasons there oh barb wire fence you would lose money cuz the iron you know what we're going to do that anyway we're going to increase Demand on iron and that's fine although we already had a little bit of a shortage H yeah hold on I mean not that much and I'm hoping that we end up with more iron mines being built more steel mills right now which is interesting choice the iron deficit is not that bad landed voting is moving forward these deficits are okay standard living we could focus on these spaces specifically still a lot of peasants and I don't have another level of Institutions I could push right now right no still would love to max out the education yeah I don't want State religion oh wait hold on I can Exile you cuz you're no longer their leaders don't have a matchup okay that's great yeah we have a lot of radicals now a lot of this is probably from standard living changes yes but a lot of it was from the political movements now I wonder what would be the best way to raise the GDP for tax changes would it be to just pay our people more would it be to remove a consumption tax would it be to lower tax well this almost certainly but it's also a big change in amounts and I'm still wondering about burning off some of this debt after this passes we're going to have to take a look to see what our um if there's any tax changes that would be useful at this juncture a good vintage I don't think the prestige we probably still capped on so we'll do the wine through but skyscraper site identified League done nothing suspect many gifts okay we could have this person resign he's a market liberal which I'm in favor of did nothing suspect and yet we can build skyscraper yeah and we will we will push that immediately quite a long build and we have to spend that a pocket we're still making positive money for the moment Morocco support Independence I'm going to say no for now I mean in general for the most of the game highest fiction is almost gone and I don't expect there's anything that they want that I would like to do well compulsory Primary School actually oh we need human rights hold on should we push towards human rights now I think that's a tier three so we'd be paying quite the premium for it you know okay there's not a lot left over here we can pick up Pharmaceuticals Psychiatry then pick up human rights and do compulsory schools which actually sounds pretty nice so we still need to kick out the scholars can't do anything for this guy he's got a lot of freaking strengths tenant Farm wonder if H we'll have to take a look to see if we can move out of tenant Farmers as well s of the past an AC has chance and Scholar's official loses popularity yeah okay that's good that's really good more influence which we don't really need right now I like these for here great if the rural folk were happier but so be it for now okay oh I got to put a cut in here um we're still working on this we've got to slight positive here still really want to drop those taxes but I don't know if I can do it while I've got the deficit trying to keep government spending like construction spending a little bit more controlled we're having to rely on the capitalist but they seem to be you know doing pretty smart things overall hopefully um do we switch over here predicted to be profitable crash to the pr of the cost of Transportation the thing I'm worried about still with this is I do this and then all of a sudden it won't be profitable to build more passenger or more infrastructure sorry more Railways and therefore I won't be getting more infrastructure but I guess it's still being subsidized I guess it won't be Auto expanded probably if it's not directly profitable this would help the standard of living I could do it just peace meal what I could do is go to market scroll all the way down go and look at Transportation find the places that have it the worst off and then in those places your balance of minus 400 in those places switch the rail rays which we only have one actually let me do that yeah that is shockingly low so maybe I'll just look at negative balance over here have quite a bit that still doesn't solve it okay you know what there's Railways do generate less all right fine everyone will get this it'll crash the price of Transportation well crash it'll lower in some places I think it'll still be fairly high and maybe it'll be good standard living has been shooting up a bunch recently which is nice again that's without our um uh words that's without our welfare either to bring up you know some of the minimums here but yeah this theoretically is just acting as more and more of a multiplier there's not a ton in the private queue right now it's a little unfortunate I wonder if I should manually go and build a bunch of fertilizer I mean this is still going to crash some of the prices but mostly it's the increased fertilizer cost H you wouldn't you're not complaining that any of them would lose out completely you know that is a huge shortage although what I can do is I can pull back on say the wheat and the Ry Farms maybe send you back okay we have a deficit but not officially a shortage current currently and then presumably fertilizer factories will start getting added to this Q one hopes building more plantations building railroad surprisingly not with the fertilizer I mean I think it takes them a little while to like make those plans bad we can't import much we can import a little though which will be good it's going to come down you know I think that's going to be okay and so we still have these RI Farms to transfer over but it's less we've got more of it transferred over we've got that pressure being generated and then hopefully we see this start to dip down and overall rain prices have dropped a little with this change so that's going to be good for our people keep that standard of living going up 116th now okay I like it I think things are moving in an excellent Direction folks thanks a lot for watching another episode I'll see you next time bye-bye
