Victoria 2: Materialism, Failure, & Social History

Victoria 2 is a game full of "almosts" and makes no exception for "almost" being a game that invokes Social history. Instead, we land somewhere much closer to Material history.
This is the (possibly awaited) bonus episode for the playlist, which, at this point should probably just be considered a normal episode, but alas. You'll see why it doesn't quite fit in, as well as why it had to be a bit longer than the others.

Materialist History is the sister social science to Social History, and as such, there's a lot of overlap. Hopefully that keeps things more interesting rather than just feeling redundant. I had to touch on a lot of other games for this one, but thankfully most were already in the playlist. (Sorry to anyone baffled by Stronghold 3's existence).


Also, I want to mention here that I've got over 100 subs now and I'd like to do a Q&A so, if you've got any questions in mind, on the topic of history or just random whatevers, ask away below and I'll do my best to respond in a Q&A and "housekeeping" vid. There will also be a twitch stream maybe in the foreseeable future, so let me know if that sounds interesting too.
