Conrads, we will subjugate the monarchists and usher in the era of the colossus of Europe. The Dream of Woke Belgium will shake the british empire. Also the save corrupted apparently.

This is part 8 of my victoria 3 playthrough. Women have the vote, and we no longer believe dutch people are subhuman apes, but we still have a long way to go before the Belgian people can embrace the french as also being equally human.

It's a victoria 3 full gameplay playthrough on linux with me, Turbles Celbor. I will attempt to create a truly egalitarian society in belgium in the face of the imperial pressures, ideally after conquering the north (get that squared away).

We've done a few longplays of victoria 3 on this channel, but never a commentary playthrough. Unlike before we are playing a recognized minor power, which should help diplomacy immensely. I am also playing with the most recent commerce expansion, which has an actual world market to interact with.

Victoria 3 is a grand strategy game by paradox interactive. Instead of being played out in a series of turns, the game advances in real time and the player has the ability to pause. You will no doubt see the majority of my playtime will be in paused mode.

The system configuration I'm using:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
