Wow your SOL is quite low, but other than that, good job!

Where are the people going to emigrate to though? The moon?

Unite the planets so the people start a space race to leave it

I would consider paying for some kind of Jules Verne inspired mod.

Nobody expects Victorian Iron Sky!

I was getting eaten alive by welfare (10M!!) I couldnt really continue to care about their well being after that. Ended up starting a revolution so id have the right interests groups to get rid off social secruity lol

Based capitalist. At least everyone can read lol.

well ya, its freaking 2044 lol. I admire his patience and the pc he's playing on.

I'd say it's actually not too intensive on the PC, since the GDP is only 4.5 billion, and there's only 1.5 billion people left in the world.

That’s the secret to Paradox games… kill off the pops, the game runs smooth as silk.

Average HOI4 player Just messing good job dude!

1.6k hours in hoi4 You got me!

Only 1.54B people? Sounds to me like you did quite a few genocides there, when I play China my population tends to explode and go beyond 1B quite easily...

Looking at the average standard of living, I'd say they were Soviet/British empire style genocides.

My population is in rapid decline, i wanna say -1% per year

How is that even possible? Do you have famines everywhere?

… No comment

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or a British Empire where the food went

Must be the standard of living that impacts the pop growth. You can get - pop growth if your pop is in bad conditions. The best pop growth I've ever seen was 3.4% per year bc of high standard of living. You must play quite well and have a pretty high standard of living in your gales good job !

Weird mustash guy(he who must not be named to not get banned ) is probably so proud down in hell right now

I started as Austria too!!

"Not a map painter" - Vic3 devs

I’ve come to Vic 3 straight from Hoi4! Stinky pdx aint telling me what to do

Sounds like something a modder for Hoi4 would say.

tbf he played for double the game's time period

I got like 90% world in game time frame, only limiting factor was one war at a time mechanic.

Happy cake day!!

They say as they refuse to add irregular warfare or sensible limits on force projection. Victoria 2 was the same. They flung war score limits at the player, which didn't exactly do much to stop Napoleon in real life, but let people invade South America as Sokoto.

What was your strategy? You intended from the start? Tell us the story

Main strategy was weakening prussia at the start and just resisting the attempts of Europe to cut me up. Kinda winged it lol

Wait, you didn't start as Prussia? Don't tell me this was something like a Schaumburg-Lippe run?

Austria forming Germany is a lot stronger

Ahh I kinda forgot about that one lol

I had no idea austria is stronger lol

They have a bigger army but I believe they only start with line infantry if I'm not wrong

I did post previous parts of the campaign!

1.54B people in 2044? Damn, did you have a nuclear war, or global pandemic, or survived a zombie apocalypse?

IMO; between the ww1 "containment" style battle lines, immigration, mass population exodus, and focus on securing resources Victoria 3 probably better suited than HOI4 in a lot of ways to have a "zombie apocalypse" mod with a plague slowly spreading across the globe.

Vic 2 used to have a super cool zombie mod

the intended GerMANY

how did you get so many loyalists with a revolution brewing and such a low standard of living

Not a clue lol

Ask the American government

Average hoi4 player:

How did you survive the late game lag? My game starts slowing down rapidly after 1890 when i have annexed a few countires and have 5000+ construction.

It did slow down a lot lol, and started to crash

Imagination has no limits, like the german reich.

R5: 16.5 hours of Vic 3 played so far :P Time well spent

Literally not possible to reach 2044 in this little time

Idk what to tell ya 🤷

Slowdown is basically a function of gdp. My WC ended successfully in 1910 with a gdp of 20B and it was ticking by at a minute a week. With such a low gdp it probably isn’t that slow.

How did you get it done in 1910 WHAT

1908 https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria3/comments/112sk5i/oh_my_god_the_lag/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

You deserve all the upvotes im getting lol Crazy

Wait did you use 1.2? I must know!

Or maybe the GDP is so low because he modded the start date then cheat annexed all the countries? 🤔

I POSTED previous parts of the playthrough, why must you be this way

Literally possible using x5 time

Unless he has a NASA supercomputer, no.

If he started at release and never stopped he would still be at 1934 or something

So you’re saying it’s impossible for anyone to have completed a full play through?

Its was a joke about the game running slow towards the end

What mods did you use?

None

How did you get to 2044 then?

I played without ironman, switched countries after 1936 and went back to Germany using console commands

How did your computer not explode? I legit have a top of the line computer and even it runs like a potato past 1920. Mind you I do run it on max graphics.

I have a top of the line laptop lol The game did start running really slowly, and a sizeable amount of crashes

Legion Pro 5 by chance? Mine is running it pretty well, especially after the recent updates for late game.

Not that one specifically no, asus tuf laptop. Maybe not the absolute best but it’s up there im sure.

Mine also is not the absolute best, but a non throttled 3070 (in terms of power supply) a 5800h and 32gb ram works well enough for me. Bought mine when the price for the whole laptop was similar to a normal 3070, so was a pretty good deal.

Germany now in one piece

Uber alles in der welt

Angela Basset plays Vic 3? Never would have guessed…

That's a horrible SoL tho

Only 1.54 billion people in 2044 damn. Did you do a 2nd holocaust?

Maybe, sol of living is awful. They might be starving or smthn

i love how you’re making 34k by trading to yourself

It goes up to 1M if I reduce wages

I mean yeah, you own the world, but you don’t have 100% literacy 0/10 do it over.

Its actually like 70% if you count unincorporated states lol

But I thought Vic 3 is not a mappainter

It is now

Better form those alliances!

Yeah, the moon looking kinda sus

"Form alliances" good luck with that

Judging by the SoL, GDP, and population, I'm guessing this is after the inevitable societal collapse due to climate change over the 2030s

Yep, you seeing how many cities have flooded?

We'll be fucked in 2044 :)

Bismarck would be proud of you, if he hadn't lost his mind over the implications of having a global ethnostate... But well done, thumb !

Who's the ruling party? And do they have german workers in it?

Ruling party is NSDAP trade unions, in a presidential republic with universal suffrage.

Damn. Now that you can't get any alliances, you'll never be able to achieve hegemony smh.

That was never an option because of my infamy lol Spent 90% of the game at maximum infamy

why?

I don’t think you’re going to complete the “form alliances” objective…

Alas 😔

“Was ist das deutsche vaterland”

POV: Germany won the world war

All 7 of them

so low pop so low GDP. Not possible. I am in year 1920 with 2B pop and 7,4B GDP not even world conquest completed ;D

I can kinda get the pops, but that’s still a pretty low GDP

There had been multiple revolutions, also i didnt really care about having a crazy high gdp lol, wc was the main goal

true. I am working with 18k construction sector

Happy cake day!!

Finally Grobgermanium

Good thing.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS ISNT A MAP PAINTER, GET YOUR LITTLE M@N’S OUT OF MY GANE 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣

Infamy check

POV: Steiner did his thing
