Victoria 3 is the best it's ever been with Sphere of Influence, and you can play the DLC right now, right here: play.victoria3game.com/AndysParadox

Thank you so much to Paradox for sponsoring this video!

I have been waiting for Sphere of Influence for a long time, but it's FINALLY here, and brings so much juicyness to Victoria 3! In this video, I guide you through all of the major innovations and new mechanics in Victoria 3 Sphere of Influence, and tell you exactly why I've loved my time with it so far.

With entirely new Power Blocs, foreign investment systems, lobbies, leverage, and a complete revamp of the construction and internal investment systems, Sphere of Influence has made Victoria 3 the best it's ever been, and absolutely worth a play if you wanna jump back in, or if you've been waiting for a good time to finally do so.

This means that with the revamped warfare system, new historically inspired journal entries, the Great Game events between Great Britain and Russia, and now the complete revamp of the economy and investment system, Victoria 3 is almost unrecognizable from its launch version, and is quickly becoming one of the best Paradox games out there.

Let me know what you think of Victoria 3 Sphere of Influence, and please remember to leave a like on the video and subscribe to the channel!

    Kind of off topic but the Victoria 3 soundtrack is so good
  • @ShepardCZ
    So, this is basically the Stellaris "Federations" DLC equivalent :D. Looking forward for the inevitable WW1 DLC.
  • @chellybub
    Vicky 3 is looking a lot better than at launch 😊 really glad that they haven't just abandoned the game. Thanks for sharing with us Andy!
  • @torrent6181
    Time to sink another 200 hours into this game
  • @jefflokanata
    Cool ! The new mechanic solve my issue to game in many ways … for example foreign investment… sometimes I just don’t want to conquer to get resources, and incur infamy, just make trade bloc, then improve inviting as many as you can .
  • @ReadingOcelotl
    Nice video, this patch/DLC seems amazing, i will definitly play another run (probably as belgium to get a hang of these changes)
  • @DarthJokerFett
    Good overview Andy! Looking forward to starting a new playthrough with Persia and breaking the Great Game
  • @romainvicta7392
    So hyped about to try it out now! Great video as always Andy!
  • @uioongbion2074
    Thank you for posting the review on your review. Excellent breakdown of what to expect in the new expansion. Off-topic but are you pumped for the new ck3 expansion?
  • Thank you for sharing this helpful information. How does diplomacy work in this game? Can you succeed through trickery and deception?
  • @adnef0388
    I hope you could help me. As a fellow Norwegian, I would really enjoy learning Norway in Vicky 3. However, even still there are barely any guides on the internett, and so my runs always end after 10-20 years. Youve played Norway in the background of many videoes, is it possible to get an aproximation of your strategy?
  • @tragarts
    i just wish they would make the military system kind of like victoria 2
  • @b00bb0ss6
    make a steam guide too, i found you thanks to steam
  • @lotica
    The only thing I know is that Persia tries his best to invade Georgia, the United States one 😂
  • @ven7165
    In other news, I still have no idea how to play this game.
