Big win for the community, this is a great thing that has happened today.

I am overjoyed beyond disbelief at the release of a comprehensive game tutorial for this magnum opus of paradox. The only way that I can share my pure unbridled joy, is to invite you to feel the same way through opiu-

I can't. I can't listen to that man speak. Something about the way he speaks just... No.

what?

it was a good, funny vid.

as i see at Dev stream nobody cares about what POps really need .. just build houses and subsidize the war at the right moment

Is there no window like in Victoria II, where we can see what one of the pop groups is currently consuming ?

Edit: I mean how much the pops are consuming, so their demand numbers, not "what".

There is a pop-up that I think comes from hovering the SoL on the Pop screen.

I think that pop up is only showing which goods are very costly for them, but doesnt show an overview for their good demands.

Is there a mechanic for pop productivity based on their SoL??? That's new.

If you watch the video he shows the pops goods consumption at 1 minutes.

Only one thing make me confused. He say : "if Pop get goods, then they'll become wealthier" on 1:00.
So i need not produce anything(!), i can import all needed goods and pops get wealthier??

If they have the money to buy it yes. He using "wealthy" isnstead of SoL, i guess it easier to understand for newcomers.

That is only the price they are paying and If I see it correctly its only for 1 unit, so basically the same we can see in the market screen. See my second post with the Screenshot ( https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/victoria-3-how-to-play-resources.1548087/post-28537326 ). Im interested in demand numbers or how it is called now in Victoria III = "Buy Orders".

At 1:21, it shows that Great Britain has 637.44k Radicals, and also that the number of Radicals changed by +638.24k since 1 January, 1836.

So... did Britain have a negative number of Radicals at that date?

There are pop ups that show how much is spent on each 'need'

Spoiler: Need cost

and

Then you can hover and get a break down of that need which shows units and cost

Spoiler: Breakdown

I also assume, but do not have handy images, that if you start at the good you could delve into the 'buy orders' to see a break down of where they are from.

Some of them have turned back into non-Radicals or loyalists!

I quite like the tooltips they've been using extensively, but I really hope we get a day-1 mod with a custom UI window that presents all of this information neatly besides each other instead, and if not I guess I might just do that myself.

He did teach lots of people Vicky 2 though, and I liked the video as well as the premise myself.

Yeah, I don't think that's correct, it's the other way around. As the economy becomes more productive, by advancing its production methods and complexity of goods, POPs get wealthier, allowing them to increase their SoL. Additionally, a higher SoL increases literacy (I believe) allowing POPs to move into more qualified professions and earn even more money.

Based on what the video said, I was wondering the same thing, hopefully a dev will clarify that for us.
