I really want to understand how to play Victoria 3. I downloaded it and tried it but was very lost. Is there any guide or video anyone recommends on how to play it?
The new update (which allows foreign investment and overhauls the way private/state ownership is modeled) makes a lot of older video guides confusing.
I think the best way of learning things is by breaking things. And it's fun.
Build buildings that use input goods that are expensive on your market, and see what happens. Spam build new logging industry even when lumber is already cheap. Attempt to pass laws where the game warns you that you'll radicalize certain interest groups. Fuck around and find out.
At any point if you feel you've sufficiently fucked up, open the game menu and choose to change countries, and proceed to fuck up a different great power.
You can genuinely learn the game mechanics this way. No training wheels, just crash lots.
