Victoria 3

[Zanza]

Is it already worth trying this? Otherwise I will wait another two weeks.

Anyone have any recommendations for good tutorials? I bought Vic3 ages ago, no DLC, and never played much, but now I have a computer that can play it so I'm gonna give it a go.

No idea, tbh.

@Zanza, from what I've seen, the bug situation is better, but the AI is still struggling a lot. I'd say if you want to play a session, revert back to 1.12, tbh. Another hotfix with some AI improvements is supposed to come next week. Also, they said they'll focus on bringing the AI up to speed in general ahead of the next DLC release.

"HamKutz" has a bunch of mini-tutorials on various game concepts.
"Generalist Gamer" has more detailed videos especially on the economy side, with spreadsheets, etc.

Vic3 has a teleology and it has a strong whiggish scent to it.  The game pushes you to wipe out the peasant and independent yeoman farmers ASAP and push them into market sectors - so a lot of the guides are about how to maximize "depeasanting".  The trick is that the optimal path can change from patch to patch as Pdx tweeks production methods ("PMs") and econ balance.  Also important to learn how to get legislation passed and what the laws do as some laws are definitely better than others, though the degree varies with context.
