I FIXED The HARDEST START in VICTORIA 3 | TEXAS |

Have german as the primary culture, and you can have the texadeutsch which is a real group

Texas conquers America as a British colony. What a cursed timeline.

I really wish there was a journal entry of some sort that would allow Texas to enforce its claimed borders

“We’re gonna bait the ai into attacking us” so… exactly what the Texans did back then?

If you managed to make Texas work in the new patch, do you think you could try making Iquicha work (puppet of Bolivia at the start of the game)? They can potentially form Tawantinsuyu -- the Inca Empire, basically -- and mechanics like foreign countries now being able to guarantee your independence, and subjects being able to ally each other, might make things easier, but the Peru-Bolivian Confederation puts you on an incredibly difficult 10-year timetable to not just secure independence, but utterly dismantle your overlord before you get annexed. And this is something you have to pull off as a tiny, unrecognized power that is not only landlocked, but completely surrounded by Peru, which will likely(?) unify if left to its own devices. I'd almost prefer starting at war if they at least had a coastline.

I think Victoria 3 is best enjoyed as the minor countries. They give you such modular and in-depth control that is hard to replicate when you start as such a large country such as Great Britian. Texas is a perfect example of it!

I've been looking through vicky youtubers casually since I moved from eu4 to vic3 a few months ago but no one really clicked. Then this video was suggested to me, I bit, and instantly felt so good about the production and vibes that I instantly subscribed in less than 2 minutes. I'm hopeful I found my vicky guy.

Honestly now I want to try this myself- make historical CSA borders as Texas plus Cuba. Could be a fun little RP scenario, plus as a Texan this sort of thing makes me happy

I'm already subscribed, but i kinda wanna see the tax fraud

Paradox should unironically make the default texas commander have this trait, so we can actually see Texas now and again

The taxfraud threat got to me, subscribed.

* spends ten minutes exploiting the AI * “Now it’s time to game the system a little bit”

If you’re struggling with money as early texas, you can just import or export and tariff the crap out of trade routes and spawn in money, this also allows you to drop taxes completely, at least from my experience.

Him ignoring the notifications in the upper right corner made me cry.

Two minutes in and bro retires Sam Houston.... nah man, my Texan brain is triggered

I don't think this war strategy vs Mexico could even be called 🧀. It's just the digital representation of a battlefield feint. I'll be interested to try this in other situations.

35:30 the general named "Sterling Warfield" goes so hard

"i have fixed our radical problems" (still 25% radicals)

Loved the tropico music throughout the vid

All I have been doing in 1.7 is just setting sam houston to defend, always won first battle and grabbed santa. In a few playthroughs I chose to be dominion to steal pops, can be a struggle to keep the liberty desire climbing though. So slow gaining pops being completely free in the beginning.
