Alzabo's time making videos: 5% recording 5% getting information 90% thinking of puns

First I was shocked that he didn't mention Ulm. But then I realized the video is about minor nations.

These puns...they're so horrible...I love them!

The Morocco puns were so on point

Disappointed that Provence isn’t on this list Also “lend a hand” lmfao (2:34)

I appreciate the astounding amount of alliterations acutely attained; they’re all also amazingly articulate

Im disappoint that you mentioned the Purple Phoenix, but not the White Phoenix, stay strong Granada.

the cheesy puns are so good, I love them

That Tupac joke. I’m dying!

Title: 10 interesting nations Me: alright Video: Morocco... Ayutthaya... Sirhind Me: checks title again Title: *MINOR* nations Me: wait WHAT

Great video I really like making small nations large so this list is perfect for me

small mistake, Sirhind cannot get the "Emperor of Hindustan" achievement (as you need to start as Delhi), you might have confused it with the "The sun never set on the Indian Empire" achievement(which you can get). anyway, good video as always!

You should post more on the "Reman's Paradox" channel, you're famous over there

Hot damn was that Kenshi footage at the end? I'd love to see your video style done for it. Maybe top 10 towns to set up shop, or best regions to set up a base in?

Really nice! I‘ll get a new gaming pc next week and can‘t wait to dive back into Eu IV. There are a lot more achievements to be harvested ^^

Dude...your voice is just so chill. I love it😍😍😍

Great content as always

The Siam part got me thinking about how bad the steamrolling problem is. Historically the (Burmese) conquered the Thai people and they rebelled. That's not possible in game unless the AI just massively fucks up. The lack of national revolutions in the late game really takes out of it.

Brilliant video 😁

Pls make more strategies for obscure nations, rly fun to watch :-)

Good shit homie

Thanks for the great video, If the audio is a bit higher it will be better.

I cannot view a video containing this many surprise puns without subscribing. Well done!

For ideas of future videos, I loved your Siberian Tribes and Indonesian guides. If you can pick a less popular (aka non European) region and do a step by step guide like that, it would be much appreciated.

Awsome! Just looking for a new nation to play!

New bladee and new Alzabohd what a day

Aww, yeah, more of that Alzabo soothing sound.

Now we just need you to release the next episode of the Ck2 hose eugenics series

I just started a Kongo game too and here comes this video :D Honestly didn't realize how cool some of these could be, especially Morocco or Cusco. Boutta go for a Long Chile run

My favourite minor country is Korea. You can easily conquer Manchu before 1500 and even get foothold in Japan if there is some independent daimyo. Korea also has one of the best starting rulers in the game (6/5/5, scholar, careful). Also it's sad that Jianzhou didn't make it on the list. You can form Qing. It also has OP mission tree.

Im now doing my Riga to Kurlander Colonial Empire run and have to tell you...one of my favs so far _D

Alzabo, a pundit packed with potential (and I'm only half a minute into this video!)

If Wallachia isn’t mentioned on Halloween, me and my vampire buddies will not be amused EDIT: Dracula will have his revenge, get ready for a thriller

Perfect list

Have you considered doing a Kenshi video? I think your stile of commentary would be perfect.

You are probably one of the best eu4 channel i know, the puns themselves are making this video great, i hate how you dont really explore mods and maybe expand into hoi4.

As usual, your content is amazing, and your voice awwww :>

Great video albazo! How long did it take to make those puns? Haha

I ended up getting all those listed achievements for mongolia as Oirat. The start was difficult and had to be restarted a lot but it turned don't to be a really fun run once the ball got rolling

New EU4 content coming soon! What type of videos would you like to see in November?

Thanks for the cusco recommendation - sun god was a fun achievement

Everyone’s talking about the puns but your alliteration game is on point too

Gonna have to pick up EU4 again soon, been taking a break from it. This video goes great with it! I still would like to see the Provence -> Jerusalem video in the coming months

I could listen to your voice for hours it's oddly satisfying

I came for the content and lost to the puns also:"barring an unfortunate ride-by accident" to soon, died laughing

I love to play minor nations. Thank you for this great video.

The amount of puns in your videos are astounding!!!

I immensely enjoyed by Novgorod game and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a change of pace. Also, I think that Republics are, as a whole, highly underrated.

these puns are too smooth tf

For some reason I thought that Ethiopia would be on the list. This Empire is stronger than any other neighboring nation and there are two gold mines in the horn of Africa. Plus as a Christian nation Ethiopia can have PU (in one of my campaigns I PUed France, lol).

9:30 heres a little minmax for milan. day 1 of the game, introduce an heir to the kingdom. if the heir has good stats and is 7-12 years old (he can be younger) keep cosimo for 3 years till hes 15, if not, just skip that step. then youre negative prestige. royal marry people around you with more prestige then you so you lose legitimacy(the diplomacy screen tells you when youre losing prestige and when you arent.). if you drop below 75 legitimacy(you already tank 20 thanks to introducing an heir) you get your instant ambrosian republic. however, if your starting introduced ruler is 4-6 years away from being 15 yeras old and has a sum of stats of 8 or better, its worth waiting till hes 15, as cosimo has ruled long enough for you to be able to abdicate the throne. Yep hes one of those rulers that arent only old, but also have actually ruled their throne in the context of the game. which means you drop legitimacy and your 15 year old is on the throne, which then gives you a 15 year old republican ruler, which translates to roughly 50 years of 6/6/6 giving you the largest mana advantage in the game ever since florence got nerved. protip nr2. take shorter election circles whenever you can, shorter circles tank you less republican tradition but give oyu more choices of replacing or leveling up your ruler As for mongolia: you can just improve relations with ming , and they tend to help you with your indipendence war that way you dont need to fight . AAAAANd one more minmax for byzantine empire: go to war with epirus and take a province, however, istead of full annexing them, just make em a vassal - you stil lhave cores, you can annex em instantly, however, thanks to the epirus navy, you and athene together can actually *BEAT* the ottoman empire effectively locking them on either of the continents. makes shit easier

I've been wanting to ask this for a while. What do you use for the introductions? I mean the camera stuff. I find it so cool.

i see kenshi at the end of this video but no kenshi on your channel? was excited. did i just miss it or something

Ha, I've just been playing a Sirhind -> Punjab game. It's fun, they really punch above their weight with that starting ruler.

Glad to see Morocco on here. One of my top 5 favorite countries to play as.

this video is more likely a strategy guide for sikh pun achievement.

The puns alone are worth a watch

There could be a mention to Trebizond. Always felt that the Komnenos were the ones with most claim over the Roman throne rather than the Paleiologos. Plus, it is one of toughest campaigns in the game so far as I noticed.

1:40 if you don’t want to watch the ad

"Belgium might also seek to laid a hand" Bruh.

the god uploads once more

If you really hate yourself you can disable Mandate of Heaven and form Japan as Ainu. Without the DLC it is much easier to do it because you can get alliance with Ming by alling Korea, being called to war with Jianzhou, Korea will be also allied to Ming and will call them to war, this should boost your relations with Ming if you improved them before to secure the royal marriage and than alliance. Then it should be easy (I did this without any DLC). I am not sure how it works with Mandate of Heaven enabled maybe you could secure the alliance but it might take much more time. Also try to get province of Ise, because it will trigger an event that can remove your tribal government and convert to Shinto.

Novgorod is quite a fun campaign, I had one that was going really well for a while until I dropped my Polish-lithuanian allies for the ottomans, then declared on them later on calling in the ottomans and having half my army stackwiped before the ottomans even did anything even though the ottomans weren't in any other wars.

Kilwa is underestimated for sure. You can have the highest early-game income just from gold mines

Regarding Sirhind: You can declare war, but it would be much smarter to wait for the event for independence war, since you get 6 regiments for free then.

i wish he did more vids on other paradox games :( i really need expert vids (like alza) on CK3

That was so puntastic

I'm here for the puns, and am never disappointed.

I can't with these cheeky puns. We need more

The amount of puns this video has is Sikhening!

It's weird that I'm seeing an ad for call of war on an eu4 video these days because a couple years ago I was in school playing call of war to burn time and I upgraded to eu4 so I could quit that game and play a better one. Now it's "you like eu4, you should try call of war" like seeing an old friend you don't really care about. Between that whole group of games though Call of war is probably the best. I couldn't get into the supremacy 1914 or the modern day one at all.

I NEVER played major nations in EUIV, and as soon as I become a major nation, I start another game. There is no fun in knowing that you will win all the wars and conquer everything easily.

Hahahah enjoyed it !

I love his videos they're so underrated

Doing byzantium is the hardest thing ive done so far in the game. Alongside getting the prussians whilst starting as teutonic order. Never did manage to reform rome though.

Glad to see my favorite nation, Morocco, finally getting some love

You should do more imperator tutorials

I'm glad they gave Serbia a mission tree. It finally seems fun to play. Too bad you need the DLC for it.

ah tupac and his ride by hunting accidents, biggy-yikes.

One look at Rothenburgs Ideas (A HRE free City) and you ll see that it deserves a spot in such a list ;)

Try winning as Mzab. It seems much harder now. Castile just steamrolled Tunis and myself with 78k men.

5:30 strongest economy in the area Sad ming noises

I resently played a campain as Cusco. I wanted to get achievement that needs 10 gold provinces. I did that pretty easy and became a major power before 1500.

My Sirhind game is a roller coaster to say the least.

I am a simple man, I see Alzabo, I watch

Will you do trade guide?

IMO Gorkha to Nepal and possibly Bharat for that sweet sweet map colour and flag! Nothing like Ghorka Space Marines doing that Pheasant Strut :)

Man I love playing as a minor nation and making them the strongest country in the game. One the my favorite countries to play is Kilwa because of that!

Your delivery on jokes like you did for Tupac makes it even funnier

9:14 The possib-Italy-s are endless

Kilwa with many gold mines and an excellent trading node is the best and easiest option to get Rags and Riches achievement.

Any idea when the 1.31 SEA update will be out? I can’t find anything about it anywhere besides some stuff from 2-3 months back.

I love these linguistical puns!

Why isn’t Naples or Genoa on the list? Genoa can expand in 3 continents early on and naples can claim throne on castile or aragon after aragon releases them.

I highly recommend playing Kongo, it's a very fun run. You can fully annex all of kongo and great lakes really fast, then nocb your way into the east african coast to conquer enough provinces with feudalism to embrace (you'll have low miltech but 3x the troops of kilwa). Take expansion to lock down the south african coast and start taking ivory coast, and eat your way up the rest of africa. Highly suggest flipping to sunni via rebels, you can give the dhimmi a privilege to stay at 100% religious unity without converting.

10/10 Script, well done.

3:25 why you do tupac like that bruv? 😂😄

My favorite nations are always hordes. Going to war so that you can fund the next war is exhilarating!

Ajam -> Persia. Particularly for the Shia theocracy government form, which is a pretty unique and strong mechanic, on top of arguably being the 4th or 5th strongest faith.
