In this video titled EU4 A to Z - The Knights Are The HARDEST START IN THE GAME I play as The Knights in Europa Universalis 4 1.34 Lions of The North. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of The Knights and I attempt to make The Ottomans not exist. So, let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series.

Seeing him declare a conquest war instead of a reconquest war by accident hurt me greatly...mostly because I've done the same

@cobaltcorsair592 Жыл бұрын

Unless I'm mistaken, reconquest wars make you pay bird mana to take any claims that you have, as well as costing more war score to take those claims in the peace deal. Not saying that it's always better than reconquest, but I'm pretty sure it's sometimes the better of the two under the right circumstances.

@saxtonhalegaming Жыл бұрын

@@cobaltcorsair592 Reconquest wars let you reconquer your subjects provinces without using Diplo as well as costing half. Because Hawk declared a conquest war using Byzantiums claims he had to give back Bulgarias cores at full cost and using diplo. It's why it costed him 50 AE as well when it should have only been 20 or so.

The Knights get a ton of unique events too for such a minor nation. You can stack +50% Fort Defensiveness with two events in the mid 1500s for a 100 years, +25% each. Need Malta too. Edit: They have another mission that almost never triggers because the Ottomans needs to control Alexandria before a certain point too.

Sure, a walk through of their missions and best practices. Have found it is easy to get Morea (buy indulgences) although I tried it without allies once while they were at peace (December 1444) and had a hell of a time given my fleets were outnumbered so waiting a titch is best. Getting Malta early allows for a second province to recruit mercy while Rhodes I building ships.

I did Knights run a few days ago to get all the achievements they have. To avoid fighting Otto at the beginning, I went full exploration and expansion, moved capital to Bermuda, build my powerbase in Caribbean, conquered Mexico and then started conquering Tunis, rest of Mamluks and then the Ottomans finally. The hardest thing on the end wasn't fighting Ottomans but fighting the Austria with Russia PU and massive France with Spain PU.

Key for knights game is taking Constantinopoli same time when you take Morea. As Catholic nation (stronk allies) with ability to raid, beating Ottomans are easy as they are locked in mission tree as they need Constantinopoli for that. If you can beat Ottomans as Byzantium, you can do it as Knights, if started correctly (like allying Epirus, promise some land for war againts byzantium and use them as stepping stone for Morea and then take all lands for yourself).

Red, responding your question on how Ottomans went bankrupt. From the Economy wiki: "the maximum number of loans are limited to when your total interest equals your monthly income" From the Warfare wiki: "All [occupied] province income and trade power is no longer given to the owner" Meaning, if you fully occupy a country long enough that they run out of whatever cash they had on hand (drop below 0 ducats), the country immediately goes bankrupt, even if they only had one loan.
