Economics and Geopolitical Strategy Lecture

to put everybody up to speed with what's going on here we have a budget of close to a million if we were to go to very high taxation it is 1.19 million but that's not worth it so we're going to keep it on very low Taxation and we are also spending a lot for our government to get the extra two approval for the two interest groups as well as the authority and the government wages we're also paying very high for our military so we get the extra Prestige from army PRI projection the approval and the uh morale recovery this of course we can lower if we want to but it's not going to make much of a difference so it's fine economically speaking we're doing okay with the amount of construction sectors we got right now we do have some massive shortages of coal which is why we're losing all that money the second that we stopped having these shortages of coal and a few other things here we're going to be back up to a positive balance this is also one of the bigger engine one of the bigger problems the engines so let's uh queue up a few more engines we only have 31 queued up and we only have 15 active so that's pretty bad uh let's queue up say another 20 we got enough bureaucracy to go to increase more of our institution levels but we don't have the techn ology for that or the legislation with the 1.73 patch which uh the game just updated might save as well there's been some changes one of the big changes is the fact that not only do you get a simulation and education access you also get ahead of time penalty technology spread maximum Innovation investment so you get up to 75 Max Innovation investment which is a massive deal uh because of that I now have 224 Max Innovation so what I'm going to do is I'm going to be researching the [ __ ] out of everything so I'm going to need more universities so I'm going to go here and I'm going to outclick a buttload of universities say another five in here we're just going to spam click a few more around everywhere else just because I can right now we got all of South America as our puppets at various degrees of puppe ism most of them are either puppets like Peru Bolivia Argentina or dominions like uh the Brazilians are new Granada is the most independent one we need to lower them from a protector to an actual dominion and we also have um Sierra Leon and France owning these two separate parts here so we're going to have to get a hold of that we're going to have some Wars against the French and the and the English anyway so we're going to grab a lot of that stuff I also want to attack the English because I want to get the cape Colony provinces cuz then it just looks better on the map I am pretty heavily invested in colonization right now let's see what our investment is level four I'm going to try and get level five for Colonial Affairs so we can uh speed this process and get those lands a little bit faster than the British are getting them which right now are actually making quite a bit of leeway there that's not good for me at all aside from that power blocks around the map the biggest one is still the British they've got a lot of influence in their initial starting locations and everybody else is pretty much the same as it was uh before Zain lost all of their members as always happens with the prussians because AI cannot freaking handle Prussia for some reason and uh did we start building our skyscraper we are in the process of building it okay that's perfect we also need to start electrifying our grids actually so we have some of these queued up once there those are done we're going to queue up more our population is not that high but we do have 1.5 population 1.5 million population as peasants so we can employ those 1.5 million in our Factor still so we can still grow the economy I'm trying not to get too many provinces directly owned outside of Spain to get the achievement here the um bourbon for everybody where we need to have Point standard of living and remain as a monarchy so we're not going to be able to change away from our monarchy for quite some time until we get that achievement in order to get it getting the uh standard of living up is not that difficult all we need to do is just make sure every single trade good is cheap for a population to BL buy to buy and that's pretty much it it's not from the legislation it's actually from the tech principle that you get all those added bonuses to education level uh you get 15 Max Innovation investment five technology spread minus five ahead of time penalty for each level of Education which means that right now we've got um 75 Max Innovation investment and Technology spread plus 25 - 25 simply because of the principle so that being said this is right now the most powerful principle in the game by far alongside freedom of movement which basically means that you're never never going to have issues with population no matter what size your country has all right boys we also have the intelligence and the trade unions in charge we could possibly switch the trade unions with the industrialist but before we do so I'm curious to see what the trade unions have to offer so I'm going to hold on to the trade unions until we finish getting universal suffrage I mean sorry women sufferage and we seem to have some Australians Mass migrating to our lands courtesy of this amazing freedom of movement movement principle that the um that the hour power block has another major change that happened with the more recent patch is the fact that the uh Colonial offices gives 0.05 Colonial growth generation per level of colonial Affairs along with infamy generation against unrecognized Powers minus 0.5 minus 5% per level as well that is freaking huge guys I'm talking massive so what I'm going to do is I'm going to change my vassalization which does give me a lot of income for my subjects I'm actually getting right now 159,000 just from my subject which is huge and no small part because of this little privilege here I mean principal but getting the colonization offices is good right now cuz we're going to be able to uh quickly colonize Africa and then we can change in back to vassalization afterwards we also are going to lose 275 Authority so I expect that too actually we lost 20 we lost 500 almost oh my God that's a lot more because of the percentage modifier we are able to change this directly to level three because we had three mandate points just lying around let's check right now our institution so we're getting 0.6 Colonial growth and infamy generation against unrecognized poers minus 20% that is massive that is actually I'm actually curious to see how fast we're colonizing now 115 days okay that's not bad considering we're basically at the same time colonizing pretty much everything here holy mother it's only 21 infamy to make sokoto protector it that is huge that is actually huge it was like 40 something to get the sokoto as a protector before I change the colonial offices oh my god dude it would be even less if we didn't have uh the plus 20% modifier from uh Isabel that's not a great modifier to be fair maybe we should actually get rid of her check how much we would be getting there the air is a landowner pacifist ooh that is not great though I don't like land owners so maybe I'm not going to get rid of her I guess Danish Mass migration as well holy [ __ ] everybody wants to live here there you go now we're getting enough Innovation points we're close to enough we can get four more Innovation points but I think we have some more universities being built right no we don't you need one more and we're going to need to cancel some of these decrees now that's the shitty part hey we actually colonized the Atlantic Islands most of them we finished colonizing hell yeah boys hell yeah look at that we got conect famous for its coning and all the other places here not going to bother even pronouncing all these places best thing about this is that they have malaria so ending the slave tra I'm pretty sure we ended this quite a while back actually but sure sure we can say that ooh I just saw that we have massive shortages of glass holy [ __ ] that is really really bad my game just froze okay please don't crash domestic and let's see where do we have the biggest uh glass factories let's go five six of them quickly really when you think about it Mia is just it doesn't discriminate that's the best thing about it you know it's um it's very wo I like to see that the private sector is building what we need which is glass works but they're building it in Santa Cruz which has 75% construction efficiency reduction because of turmoil rain forest this is not freaking optimal bro why would you do that private sector you suck you genuinely suck the [ __ ] is this they queued up [ __ ] in the worst possible places like actually Ry farms and Lassa lithuanians who allowed them in here 20% income tax 27% the consumption and 5% dividends which is not bad right now then this would give more dividends but we don't have that many uh dividends to be taxed all let's go for proportional taxation that should help the income generation quite a little bit 34 infamy only are you kidding me no way that's actually so cheap to protector at Prussia man I mean uh Persia did I just say Prussia that is that is heretical talking right there they are in a defensive alliance with Nish and they have an alliance with bukara but that's about it they don't actually have um any of the big boys supporting them Russia is likely going to help them though so I'm going to improve with the Russians in the hopes that they're not going to join on their side let's see oh East Indies is independent it's now Java guys oh my God they have 22 battalions they've got no friends and they are funding lobbies in Bhutan or button whatever you want to call it and it is 112 infam okay yeah that is that is bad that is actually bad what the hell man they're a minor power all right they're not an unrecognized power and they have basically a lot of population 12 million with 20 million GDP that's not bad so no oh 23 days to get a [ __ ] province with the with the oh my god dude that is actually massive 20 so that's like 40 days to get a province now dude that is actually huge no freaking way dude I'm surprised Java is scripted in the game guys yeah I didn't Ste steal that one either from Nora just saying it's uh it's totally my joke what the hell is Java doing here yo this feels scripted huh see that is an original joke that is actually an original joke right there like actually 9.4 infamy is literally nothing considering we're annexing Benin which is one of the best states in Africa 3.4 million GDP 2.8 million population just in Benin and I'm pretty sure it has rubber there you go 16 up to rubber plantations which is huge and iron and coal oh my God the aggression of BMA has to be stopped unbelievable how aggressive those people are need to wipe them out right now before they get out of hand just like we need to wipe out those benini and scum how dare they try to not get colonized by us unbelievable a power block of the Grand Alliance was formed by the amonos oh my Globs wow that looks like such a Grand Alliance guys they almost have all of the US in 1890 speaking of uh let me see who I can attack here Costa Rica is still independent I think right but they I have investment rights in them but I don't actually want to yeah no lower our relations so we can attack them are you guys friendly yeah you friendly you scumbags maybe if I uh reduce subject payment you're going to go down and be more integrated a little bit faster I think that's the case yeah gee guys I wonder who's going to win it's so equal this fight wait what the [ __ ] they actually do have a pretty decent defense uh yeah I mean we're still winning cuz we got the numbers but I'm genuinely surprised to see how good their defense is like what the hell man too bad you don't have enough manpower to fight against me but on so we're going to build up all of the oil rigs that we can possibly build right now which is honestly not that many but we're going to build them all up because we can change some of our production method to use oil but we need obviously some oil rigs beforehand right accept the British claim on gaban no [ __ ] you gaban I mean Britain uh construct the Panama Canal Spanish relations improved by 10 will make a suitable offer [ __ ] you're my vassel give me the [ __ ] land that is my offer and let's start integrating or incorporating all the islands that we've uh finished colonizing as well as all the African provinces that we finished colonizing too so I believe with the last patch they also made it so when you change the production method it is just for your country right for your provinces which is awesome cuz uh then we just you know we don't need to worry about buildings that we have in other countries right we just need to this only shows ours so we don't have this stupid icon that I cannot stand personally oh we can get Colonial affairs level five let's go 075 Colonial growth that is huge so I've decided to make uh the uh state of Castile the main textile State as such this is where we're going to be producing all of our cheap knockoffs of uh Zara I'm just kidding we're going to make them over in China and pretend we didn't pay 0.5 bucks a T-shirt and charge you 50 H just capitalism shut up bro there's a few unique uh Spanish companies like altto oros over here which offers some bonuses for the iron mines the steel mines and infrastructure then again there's another unique one duroa which offers bonuses for iron mines coal mines steel mills and arms industry artillery Foundry throughput which is huge so we're going to go for that especially since now we are at war with the Americans to uh well we're really just defending democracy really against these aggressive scumbags that's what we're doing here and we have pretty low infamy again which means we could probably attack somebody else got to figure out who though we got a lot of rebellions in Africa we got to deal with as well and since we've got Health System level four we're very close now to getting our achievement have 20 standard of living as a monarchy as Spain doing pretty good economically still we have very high government wages and Military wages so that helps quite a little bit actually our maximum Innovation is 232 so we're building a few more universities now to reach that particular cap we got 2.3 million unemployed because we've got the uh freedom of movement principle for our power block which means that we're getting a lot of immigrants from everywhere around Z as long as of course they are accepted culture because we do have still migration control if we were to have no migration control then anybody would migrate to us so we would have even more migrants I guess what I could do is I could try and somehow push for multiculturalism right now nobody is supporting that but eventually I'm hopeful that the uh trade unions are going to support it and we do have the trade unions already in charge together with the Progressive Party which is the intelligencia we could switch and we can add the Armed Forces instead of the Progressive Party but do we really need to I don't think so once we get proportional taxation is going to boost up our income by quite a little bit as well and after that we're going to go for old age pension to um uh appease the land masses look at that we have 94% success chance to enact old age pension because of the political movement for it so we're going to get even more loyalists once we do that particular legislation change and get rid of even more radicals as consequence that being said we also need to um increase the amount of soldiers we have so right now we've got how many we got 94 in the main Army and a few other I'm going to standardize this and I think I'm going to need four armies of roughly 100 each in order to survive cuz most of the great powers are building up massive amounts of armies look at that 434 main armies 200 150 300 200 the Americans are up to 76 plus 600 in conscripts and they actually did holy snaps man they actually did uh they got trench infantry oh that's J over I actually lost if they got trench infantry how far am I from trench infantry I need to finish electric Telegraph and then after we can do trench infantry so I'm going to queue that up actually let me do that as the next two technologies cuz I might get M handed to myself if I don't do it now then then we can do telephones after that we're going to need to catch up with the Americans I didn't think about that cuz I didn't expect the Americans to be that aggressive at this point but I should have expected it though the last patch really made the AI significantly more aggressive than before we need to have secret police or guaranteed Liberties there there's no support whatsoever for secret police I think right or maybe we have a little bit now very little from p no we don't have this is just from uh the current legislation being enacted so we have 15 support for guaranteed Liberties I'm going to try and get guaranteed Liberty so I can get level five home Affairs which is going to make it so that um I have a much happier population too [ __ ] man Britain's also colonizing West Guin that is not Gucci at all hey at least we got voting face for graduated taxation so I'm fairly confident that that's actually going to pass now and we got our troops back from the Swahili front so let's go ahead and station them in Vanuatu which is the main target of the American war if we manage to hold on to Vanuatu then um we might be able to not stress about the Americans that much banat is currently the only area that they're invading so we should be fine let's check we need more coal more iron more pretty much everything my dude holy snaps luckily for us we do have all of those available still in our country we can still get quite a few um of all of those mines really so let's say queue up 10 more iron min in Valencia or Max it out in Valencia I guess and then we can also get some more coal mines in Aragon Max it out in Castile 2 while we're at it and we're going to need some more sulfur too so let's get three more out click so we do this instantly in West Andalusia and then we can get five more afterwards later down the line whenever that's possible continue change the Glass Works to the most optimal production method we have 10 queued up I'm going to queue up another five that should be 40 that should be enough and since we have fertilizer Tech kind of want to push for chemical fertilizers that would fix all of my grain issues for the rest of the campaign at least for the next 10 years minimum so we're going to queue up nitration fixation to be done for now import maybe some don't really have anyone I can import from so I'm just going to quickly build a few more Farms I do have some rice Farm actually areas let's get three in here and three in here again shortage of transport and zanzi bar let's get one of these bad boys then also I think I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pay the little bit of cashio and I'm going to get the Panama Canal we can also build this bad boy up out click it and get a port in here just in case sh goes down to schnitzel now Granada we should be able to lower the autonomy soonish let's see how far are we from that Marina new oh no it's not even close to sunish but we're getting 0.17 weekly reduction in Liberty desire So eventually we're going to be able to lower these bad boys to a Dominion that'll be nice let me standardize these bad boys here I'm going to get three of these Cavalry units one 2 three and then I'm going to get another three of these just cuz I want you know round numbers 60 50 10 that's perfect so I'm going to keep that as as my as my standard Army we're going to have three armies of 60501 and the fourth Army is going to be smaller the fourth Army I'm just going to use maybe fourth and fifth I'm going to use as um smaller detachments to go around the colonies whenever I need to put down some rebellions or something of the swords okay we're winning we're winning boys so far we repelled every single invasion they tried and you know what I'm going to do I got the 23 um ships I'm going to station these ships in the node from which they're invading I'm going to make it impossible for them to to invade because they're not going to have the node just need to make sure they're not also invading Spain or something of the sorts at the same time yay proportional taxation that boosted us up so much with our income holy snaps do you guys see the we had like - 70 or some [ __ ] then we went up to minus 8 which is not bad okay should we try guaranteed Liberties I think it's time we do so yay Welsh people coming to the real superpower us away from those scumbag English speaking of we actually need to take this this is ours who would help the British nobody nobody cares about the British but the British do have 500 battalions almost and they're trenchman for sure so I need to update my military Tech I'm not doing nothing until I finish trench infantry no attacks no nothing no way the Roman Republic is back in town everybody holy snappad dop uh maybe I should improve my relations with the Romans right Austria Hungary as usual really struggling with the thousands of different populations it has I'm actually going to improve relations since we already have cordial with them we might be able to get an alliance as such oh The Americans some type of piece white piece they propose white piece cuz they cannot get vanatu cuz they're [ __ ] and they cannot even navally land I'll take the white I don't really care anything from the Americans for now so I'll take that white piece and then once I get my trench infantry I'm going to attack the Moroccans cuz even if the British join I should be fine I'm going to just to be safe recruit more units though h of freaking luah we got our trench infantry so let's upgrade these bad boys two trenchman that means we're going to have a higher input of ammunition and arms so we will need to build more arms and ammunition Industries go upgrade everybody upgrade every single Army we have to these bad boys all right boys we got the guaranteed Liberties which means now we can go up to level four with our home Affairs actually we can do level five with the home Affairs we just need to get a little bit more bureaucracy in the first place so only institution missing is level five Healthcare which is doable once we have researched antibiotics we're going to do that after film and psycho analysis cuz we want to get every sing single research within the fourth tier research before we do any fifth tier stuff otherwise we're going to incur a little bit of a an ahead of time penalty hey we can increase Brazil into a puppet let's see how much money we get from that so right now we're getting 35,000 from them and afterwards we're going to get 43,000 so we're getting 8,000 more that's awesome Paraguay left as a member of uh what really why why did it say that Paraguay left there's still in it I got lied to so Paraguay was actually um a puppet of Brazil and when I turned them into a puppet Paraguay was transferred to me as a Dominion now let's go with the very next technology which is going to be old age pension and by technology I mean a lot really now a lot of people love this and I'm expecting a lot more loyalists after we pass this particular legislation nobody did this to as yet then let's survey it my boys we got good relations with the uh Egyptians so we might be able to even buy it off of them without having to war them boyos in fact I might even get a trade agreement with them hell yeah getting that trade agreement right now do we have any other trade agreements what do we have have Let's see we got trade agreement with Heavenly Kingdom what I'm going to do is I'm going to sell and buy all the [ __ ] imaginable from both of these countries now all right so we're up to 175 million GDP very close very much close to the British Raj we will be overtaking the British Raj before the end of the the century before the 1900 strike so at at least at the current ramp up cuz we're we gained 30 million in like 2 years which is huge considering that we have 49% chance to Annex Cuba I'm going to I'm going to try if it works it works if it doesn't I'm going to reload the save and no one's ever going to know oh my God Kuba annexed on the first try what the snaps totally didn't real roll to get it annexed with 49% chance on the second try this is an insane State going to need some transports first and foremost here now this is going to cost us 550 tint corporate I'm going to do it though cuz it is a big deal Kuba is massive when it comes down to the economic output that it has and that means we're going to need to spam some more of these bad boys let's go couple of these in Kuba couple more in Valencia few more here and there we're going to need a lot more but our situation is going to get much better once we get the telephones in just 6 months and I'm pretty sure once I fix my production methods we're going to get even more monies by monies I mean gdps we're going to be toggling privatization for some of our buildings here in Valencia because right now we're getting 45% economy of scale reduction uh bonus because we don't have a good balance between nationally owned and privately owned the mines once we have a balance between the two we're going to get the 50% throughput economy of scale which is what we really want to get just need to make sure we don't forget to click away from privatization once we have reached that 50% Sweet Spot oh my god did you guys see that we went down by like 2 million radicals instantly once we got old age pension holy mother that is actually huge that is actually actually huge I don't really need cultural exclusion because we don't really accept any other cultures from what we accept right now seeing as our only primary culture is Spanish and every shared cultural trade with the Spanish culture is also a European trait with the exception of the afroc Caribbean so by going that law we just accept one more culture the afro Caribbeans which are hispanophone but they're not Europeans right cuz everybody else is European as well but that being said there's a lot of support for it and again I kind of feel like I just maybe I should do it simply cuz um it would make people happy even though I would lose radicals decrease from standard of living and Loyalist increase from standard of living which is a big deal to me I really feel like maybe I should just wait till I get multiculturalism though maybe we can do workers protection 52% chance for that since we have a Migra since we have a movement for it it's going to give minimum wage dangerous working condition reduction so yeah it's not the end of the world if we go for it cuz I cannot do monarchy cuz we need to get the achievement freedom of conscience is fine we do get some Authority even though the church does have some political strength from this particular legislation compared to Total separation which basically doesn't give any bonuses screw it let's go work of protection we're going to be like one of the most advanced Society and everybody is going to want to live in our country basically there you go our first two armies are ready we got a standard 60 infantry 50 artillery 10 lancers and um we're going to have to build up more cuz we're going to have to have four armies of that size if we're going to actually be able to go against the British which we need to to get jalter back and also to puppet Morocco cuz they're supporting their independence well they're not supporting but they're joining on their side of Moroccans anyway who would have thought that the industrialists don't want to give any workers rights that is shocking to me surprising as schnaps bro I swear I think it's also time for us to uh get the Su Canal let's go ahead and click as Maximus acquire land in siai this way because we have good relations with the Egyptians we're able to get this let's incorporate it also out click so we get the Su canal done also click up a port in here and let's check what the status is with the Panama Canal we officially have both of the canals now and the Panama one needs to have subsidies cuz otherwise nobody wants to work here apparently I'm also in the process of rinding all of the uh Central American Parts these are proper Spanish Crown possessions after all and since we got all of South America we might as well get Central America now since it's right next to our integrated lands of Cuba another thing I want to do is I want to start invading Morocco I'm still in the process of recruiting the third and fourth armies though so I'm not ready for that we'll do that after we are ready cuz let's face it we really don't want to be messing with the British they are pretty strong another thing I noticed is this guys check it out to grab land directly from the Ottomans is basically nothing 6.7 infamy we have this because we get unrecognized major power they're not a major power anymore they are an unrecognized Nation since they did not do the tany mats so they got the disaster then we scaled that up with the technology from Spain namely multilateral alliances colonization civilizing Mission and Colonial Affairs level five with the principle that adds 5% reduction in infamy per level so it's ESS Lally nothing actually nothing to take this 6.7 is literally nothing my dude I'm genuinely thinking cuz we still have 30 years to just take all of the Ottoman lands as direct possession but I'll do that after we reach 20 uh standard of living cuz we're very very close to this achievement and I really want to get it cuz I'm not sure if I'll be going for this achievement in the future right so might as well get it now that does mean we need to have some good RNG because if they by any chance become a recognized Nation again then it's going to be significantly more AE to grab that stuff but I highly doubt that they will become a recognized Nation let's face it that's not going to happen anytime soon okay we got some telephones done so let's switch over to telephone switchboard that means we instantly got 2,000 bureaucracy so we got a little bit of a high demand in telephones we need to wait until these uh new telephone factories that we built in Valencia actually get the a worker so we actually have the telephones produced whilst that's happening let's go ahead and use that extra bureaucracy to incorporate all of our African Holdings including ining Benin and everything else here that has not yet been Incorporated hell even the papin lands that we haven't yet Incorporated we might as well get them done right bulgarians migrating o 3 million peasants okay that actually tells me that I need to ramp up my uh my building efforts a lot faster that basically means we don't have enough jobs for people and it also means we need to get those jobs so we need to build [ __ ] faster so we need more construction sectors as consequence when the hell did Italy form I genuinely didn't even see that man okay you know what let's get a Raymond with them cuz we're going to have great relations with our Italian Brethren that is a f short we want to actually get an alliance if we can with them maybe even attempt to get him in our Union let's see by Union I mean power block it's going to be a pretty big effort but we're also going to be building a power block statue in all of our colonies this is going to give us 10% loyalist from standard of living increase a flat Prestige bonus and infrastructure so it's a really great uh Monument to have everywhere if possible but it is a little bit pricey so we got to keep that in mind as well oh my God boys we got barely any radicals now so now we got that done that means we can start uh increasing the levels of our safety offices it does mean we get minimum wage increase but that's not such a bad thing is it getting a minimum wage for people might actually uh bring our standard of living up some would say and seeing as we have so much extra bureaucracy lying around we're going to use it to uh start exporting whatever we have an excess of so we make a big amount of money out of that to further fuel our growth imagine we're the ones that are selling wood to everybody else that you don't see that every game let's face it check this out boys we got a political movement that's spearheaded by Gabrielle Bon here who is a Social Democrat so that's not too bad however look how many people want to get graduated taxation nobody it's not even nobody it's minus 19 he's the only person in the whole country that wants graduated taxation there's 19 people that are against it and not a single soul that would support him what the hell man that's the first time I see that I think I may have found a buck so pagu which was my subject became independent when Brazil had a civil war not sure why but that is messed up so now I just genuinely don't know what the hell to do they're still in my block but they're independent so I could attack them that's 20 infamy I would be literally wasting to get a province that I already had before as my subject so what the hell man we are massively relying right now on our colonies look at the amount of Co mines we can build all around the colonies this is actually freaking wild we've got like at least 600 coal mines we can build just in the colonies in Africa this is exactly what I'm saying guys colonizing Africa and going for Colonial Affairs is an absolute must no matter what nation you're playing as even as the Germans you still have to do this because if you don't in the late game you're just going to die out cuz you're not going to have the uh capacity to grow economically anymore ooh revolutionary Denmark who puppet is Denmark right now let's see who we have to actually fight against Buon let's get our units there and we're fighting against tell me it's nobody in syus it's the French okay well that's going to be a pretty big war did not expect the French to be the ones that uh puppeted them I probably should have realized that it was yeah pin sight's 2020 as they say right end of the day we're getting a free puppet here so I'm cool with it so obviously the plan is we keep all of our units on defense and this way we'll wait for them to grind their armies on our front line we got everybody defense I think we have quite a few of them on adamant defense actually for that matter who which army has that yeah these guys adaman defense adamant defense so they're really going to crush their Manpower just trying to attack Us in the Pyrenees I really am going to be very curious to see how many units the French are going to use in the process and lose in the process they can have up to 1,000 battalions maximum which is not a trivial thing that's for sure we only have right now four armies of roughly 120 each this one has fully recruited all of its units but it's on the way to getting that so once we uh finish pushing into the Danes we're going to bring the rest of the army and try and defend our main Iberian Holdings until the French give up and give us what we want I really like the small details with Vicky 3 guys so it's night time now right and check it out if you go into the East and the areas where there's less electricity you don't see that many that much public illumination basically look at this in Persia for example you barely see any elimination just like Lantern or whatever right small little bit elimination and then if you go into the West like the British which have a lot of electricity it's full of electrical Apartments having electricity houses having electricity same for us cuz we do have electricity all over Spain now we do have uh electrical ulation in our provinces which is really like a very nice little detail in my opinion look at that boys 47 Advantage right now actually insane like genuinely really insane right there boys look at their armies they grinded their Manpower so much they have 18 out of 77,000 so like average they got 20% Manpower in their front line armies this is a brand new army they added here the 31st so once these guys are going to be out of manow 2 I think I'm just going to do a little bit of a push we got 50 Advantage which is a massive deal we can probably just make a be line straight for the capital here say hello to my little friend everyone it only cost us a lot of souls we we we we lost a lot of soldiers for that little schnapp D not even sure if it was worth it anymore do you hear that two boys that is a BPS it to give us 6,000 progress actually what the hell is a BPS I don't even know where I was going with that I wanted to say you know the beep from the telegraphs what is that even called definitely not a BPS is it as our last possible company I think I'm going to go for the Altos Hornos which again doubles down on the iron mines the steel mills and it gives extra infrastructure so overall I have to say that Spain really does have the best companies out of Any Nation I've played with so far like really really good company Romanians again well we're going to have to put these bad boys to work won we I think uh one Army should be enough against Morocco right now no one's helping them out cuz they got the a truce with the Brits and Tunis has a defensive pack with Morocco but they're still not joining on their side so that tells me that tunisians are actual freaking cowards like literal freaking coward kind of sag because I'm going to have to do a separate War for the Tunis and that's going to have to be against Austria Hungary too cuz they also have a defensive pack so I was kind of hoping to avoid having to fight Austria Hungary in order to get Tunis but now it doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to sadly how am I already short on rubber dude I just saw that I've got like a th000 rubber shortage again I've got so much rubber it's wild am I just like trading way more rubber than I should be trading I guess maybe that's why you know it really just occurred to me if I stop my rubber trades half the world's economies are going to collapse like right now cuz they're relying on my rubber so freaking much I'm making literally 150,000 just from rubber trades another day another protector let's see how many we got so far we got 21 members and how many of those are our subjects I don't know I'm guessing 21 cuz I don't remember adding anybody else except my subjects to the power block I just saw that Sierra Leon got its independence from the Brits which is a massive mistake cuz now I'm going to take c one [ __ ] for me it is after all a rightful uh Spanish clay and they also got these islands oh my God I am going to get filthy rich and I mean disgustingly Rich Let's see how many more States we can take Jamaica West Indies Bahamas that's actually quite a maybe I can just make him a protector 12 to make him a protector screw it I'll do that so I'll take sarra Leon's Guana directly and the rest I'll just make into a protector that sounds Gucci throl Luchi to me make those primary demands let's also go ahead and send our armies now o we're first no way hold up a second so friend is second afterwards then Russia oh it's cuz the British have a civil war yeah that makes sense well we'll s we'll stir first by GDP followed by the British rise second and then the British once they actually not have that Civil War anymore population wise we are fourth which is a big deal considering we are the Spanish and we don't have much outside of this and the African Holdings directly own pretty much everything else is just puppets so yeah that's I'd say it's a pretty good run so far very brave you said Alon despite having only six units you actually want to fight me stupid but Brave nonetheless okay 1907 and we reached 400 million GDP plus we got 35 million Loyalists and only 1 million radicals with 19.4 standard of living so we are really freaking close to getting that uh achievement now best part is we got 75 million population look at this graph going up continuously dude this is insane we got right now 10 million people in Castile 8 million in our capital and another 11.6 million in Valencia holy 30 million people in just these three states dude well well well if it is in the US trying to bully Nations into giving them stuff nice one USA but uh it's not going to happen buddy boy we going to be Snapple duping you this time and I'm going to be making sure that we win this War I Let's uh let's go ahead and recruit some more ships we cannot upgrade our monitors to torpedo boats because the unit type is very different but we're going to get uh Scout Cruisers soon so I'm just going to wait and then I'm going to just recruit a lot of scout Cruisers same here we're going to be getting the dreadnots any moment now so I'm not going to build the iron classs just yet we do have 80 ships which should be enough for a couple of Naval invasions in the US though problem is I don't really want anything from them man so I don't even know what to do here just War reps and humiliation doesn't feel like it's fair me having to waste so much of my Manpower and economy for just War reps and humiliation right I'm also going to make sure my fleet is sitting in uh the Danish street so that if the Americans try to do an AAL Invasion they're going to have to fight against my fleets in order to do so ooh we got the achievement B Spain have an average literacy have an average standard of living of at least 20 whilst remaining a monarchy and we are at 21.3 right now so I'd say we're doing pretty good boys but we're not doing so good against the Americans we're probably going to end up with just a white piece again they have a th000 units and they manag to sneakily get a naval Landing done here here so they outnumber us quite a little bit we're on the defensive and we're winning most of the defensive battles not all of them but yeah they just they got a massive amount of units I I need to recruit more soldiers it's wild to me how many units the AI recruits now in the later part of the campaign like actually insane look at that us has 1,000 plus units right now almost 1,100 and pretty much most of the major Powers have that even these guys well actually they don't have conscripts anymore what the hell is going on here why the snaps his whales independent what the hell Oh's obligation to Russia the Brits lost a war against the Russians oh my God I guess right I don't know well whatever the case I might just take whales for the memes cuz that's just funny to me they know they're not making any progress so they're super willing to give me that white piece now actually come on just a few more months and we should probably be able to get it accept White puso America second where you did nothing and nor did I so maybe you should stop attacking me bro basically guys this is World War I we're at war with the French here and if we win we're going to make them liberate half the country in oania get War reps get French Guana in South America the last province that we need to get to fully own all of South America transfer tripy transfer oh sorry liberate French Sagal which is 20% of Africa right now and suffice to say we're doing pretty good man we're doing pretty godd damn good boys can we get French Guana we cannot come on not even French Guana I think I'm going to have to go to Paris AR well whatever the case we are winning our asses here pushing on every single front against the French boyos and um hopefully we capitulate them soon cuz our economy cannot sustain this for too long we are on medium or high taxation actually just so we don't take half a million in uh in debt every week cuz it's bad I'm still debating if I should go Council Republic 82% chance for that man but parliament of Republic is pretty darn decent boys Council Republic does mean we would be able to go for Cooperative ownership do you know what I mean boy we out here thinking about role playing as a commun we do have quite a little bit of support now for multiculturalism 18% nobody wants it from the political parties but two dudes want it and that's giving us a political movement of 11 million surprisingly wow okay that's actually more than I expected it to get for for this particular movement not enough support though where you need more people to support that at least one political party would be nice if it supported it wait why doesn't the Communist support that actually now that I think about it oh he's not there oh oh no he died the communist I should have checked maybe the Communist would have actually supported it we don't have any more Communists here man wow enlightened a royalist that is the first time I see someone like that oh he's a multiculturalist oh wait is that one of the agitators it is isn't it the French one piece I'm not giving a [ __ ] France suck on these we're making massive uh advances over in Africa the south of France also doing pretty good but it's slow and oh my god did we lose a lot of people already let's see how many people we lost so far so we have 1 million dead and 700,000 wounded French have 1.1 Million Dead and 1.1 million wounded so they lost significantly more than we did actually Snapple dupes is this bro Nama I have never seen this before and it is an insignificant power they broke away and established their own little schn they're not an unrecognized Nation so it cost a little bit of a to take this [ __ ] unfortunately for us but I'm genuinely thinking to just uh take them out I'm not sure if I should PP it or protector it or just directly take the L though I don't think it's going to be that much I think I'm going to take the L directly uh I'll do that once I finish with my units I can use my Army from Sagal once I'm I freed up senagal that's when I can declare that War I guess movement for enacting multiculturalism plus five oh yes please don't mind if I do my brother you are a genius you are actually a freaking genius we can give leadership to the guy that has multiculturalism so that way the the trade unions will also want multiculturalism so where is it where you at where you at there you go now we do have the trade trade unions wanting this so This goes up to 50% and our chances it down to 17 because of bad ticks you know what [ __ ] it I'll cancel this we'll go back to that later we're going to go for multiculturalism since we have it hopefully it's not going to trigger any revolutions around the country though that would suck so we're losing a lot of our Pops cuz they are conscripted from our biggest states a lot of them died in the war so we're down to 15 13 and 12.6 million Pops in these states holy [ __ ] I should have brought my African armies here so that their population dies instead of my actual Spaniard it's jover it's freaking jover we are doing n training so we're going to get the squad infantry extremely quick should we do chemical weapons as well what do you guys think or maybe flamethrowers I like flamethrowers let's get flamethrowers in I actually forgot to give um extra supplies and [ __ ] for my units bro that's what I [ __ ] forgot I knew I forgot something freaking knew it bro luxurious supplies can we sustain that though you know what we could probably sustain that [ __ ] man at least we could do what was it that we had an excess of we had a lot of tobacco a lot of like basic raw [ __ ] so tobacco boom morale recovery right there we have so much tobacco we can actually give him tobacco without even hurting our it's not even it's the opposite it's actually helping our economy cuz it increases the consumption of tobacco right then we can also do liquor liquor I think we have surplus of as well right no we don't but we do have sugar Surplus so we could do sugar as well extra morale recovery opium we don't have that's an issue weapons and ammunition is also an issue right now no oil to tools and opium again opium is an issue unfortunately opium is actually an issue so we cannot really do any of the other on we might be able to do this though meat wine I think both of those we have but the issue is the actual War Machine stuff right so we need more ammunition look at that- 700 and the other one is balanced but yeah ammo and [ __ ] is in need so let's go ahead and build a few more munition plants we got 16 we can do four more and then another five oh my God look at that 75 Advantage 80 Advantage after we gave our militaries the supplements and the supplies that is such a freaking massive difference like actually such a difference holy [ __ ] bro I really want to do like a proper game where I play from 1836 to 1936 on like Speed 2 the whole game and like stream that of course play on Speed 2 and just like minmax the [ __ ] out of whatever [ __ ] country I play as right I really want to do that I think that would be fun to see how much we can M Maxa country hey we actually are enforcing on the French we gotus 87 support nope we won we fre we that is over the French are [ __ ] screwed we got oia and they got geni latitude with us cuz we liberated them and what else we got Triple E as a vassel now is ours transferred sagol is free so let's see did they get a map change CER change no really they are free right they are indeed so we're going to attack them eventually and now it's time to actually start fixing our economy so now that we actually have uh Scout Cruisers Let's uh let's make a proper Navy shall we let's make something that's not an actual embarrassment he Navy Rena holy [ __ ] I just realized summaries are actually really freaking good my dudes can we just have like a fleet that's only submarines I think so right cuz you need to have uh at least the same amount of light ships as you have Capital ships with support ships combined don't you so you would need to get more Scout Cruisers than uh submarines basically Hallelujah everybody's accepted oh that means we're going to get so many immigrants now it's not even funny it's actually not even funny how many immigrants we're going to get now apparently somebody wants to get presidential Republican acted oh I'm not a big fan of that though I'll be honest I'm actually not a big fan of that less support for Council Republic now though what the fudge 47 electric factories and we still need more electricity that is insane to me bro what's our throughput not that great cuz we need to privatize some of this [ __ ] okay whoa what the fudge man are you [ __ ] kidding me no oh God I clicked privatize I unpaused and within a second every single one of these was bought by the private investor are you [ __ ] me right now every single one of them did you see that I literally just unpaused and for a second they literally bought every single one of them that is crazy bro my dude we are so low on population despite having 105 million this is insane to me
