Vic3 is under attack from Vic2 diehards. Only one man can defend her. Hammurabae argued; “Why Victoria 3 Is Better Than Vic2”, a lone voice bravely going against the tide of huge Victoria 2 channels dominating the narrative. It was OVER for Spudgun…

This video is a response, but also a springboard to discuss some interesting things about Victoria 2 & Victoria 3 which I enjoy talking/ranting about. We will cover a lot of things, mention a lot of people including OneProudBavarian (I will briefly respond to his recent clickbait Vic3 video.) I cover a few points I’ve already made in past videos (“The Victoria 3 War System” / “Was Victoria 3 Successful?”) which they would have benefited a lot from actually watching before saying things I’ve already proven wrong, but here we are.

I will criticise videos from a couple of other content creators, quite fiercely, but there is no disrespect meant to them personally or to their overall channels. Feel free to join in that criticism, or criticise me, but I will not allow hate or insults in my comments. There is a line which we will not cross.
