I'd really love to see Nitra tips, since not so many ppl release them to play as (Both Nitra and Moravia)

Theodoro or Trebizond

Empire of Trebizond, please!

I really would enjoy seeing a general guide for starting near the ottomans, both as Muslim and Christian nations, as there are achievements for most nations that start with a border with the ottomans(Trebizond, Candar, Karaman, Byzantium, Albania, Serbia, wallachia all have achievements where at some point you have to deal with the ottomans)

@minimuffin531 Excellent idea! While I have thoroughly enjoyed the detailed achievement guides, they are nation and version specific as well as lengthy projects. Without player intervention, the Ottoman Empire will solidify its superpower status by absorbing it's assorted neighbors. Players want to change fate and out-compete the Ottomans, so they need strategies relevant to their nation of choice.

In Spain, we have many friendly jokes about vasque people being like quite tought, rude and strong xD Similar of the Chuck Norris memes, we have something similar with them here, in the way of "vasque people shave with an axe". They tell them about themselves and we too. And looks like Paradox has implemented that mechanic in the game

@@MaNU7908 to be fair, during the civil war the basques reslly fucking proved themselves. I mean, they stuck it to the nationalists while cut off from madrid for way longer than expected. I am from the south so as you can imagine independist movement controlled areas aren't that sympatheyic around here, but anyone capable of resisting the fascist forces for that long with a supply chain that crippled has earned my respect for sure. Don't fuck with the basque, they may be rural, stubborn mules, but, well, they really are mules in the positive sense too.

@@thespanishinquisition4078 The requetés came from Navarra and they were with the nationalists xD

The Spanish Inquisition Yeah, Basques have traditionally supported Carlism. Because Carlism is in their greatest interest and aligns most closely with their rural Catholic values. Nowadays, everybody is a degenerate though so who knows. Edit: And they proved themselves as men without fear while fighting in the Requetés too. Unfortunately, it appears that as part of the civil war they betrayed their own Christian values and were involved in massacres of innocents and other atrocities, though who’s to say if they targeted lefty sympathisers or actual civilians.

@@thespanishinquisition4078 has to do more with the fact that historically they've resisted all invasions on their land and preserved noth their language and culture(as well as being the other half creator of the castillian language and identity) it doesn't apply exclusively to basques in europe but in spanish America as well

Awakening of ULM is my second favourite mod

laughs in Tannu tuva

OPM? I'm somewhat new to eu4, but im loving it! What's OPM?

@@pleasedontpickonme42 One Province Minor - referring to countries that (at the start of the game) only have one measely province to work with. In some situations, you could be an OPM surrounded by big countries, like Hisn Kayfa.

@@Pr0manStream Oh okay cool thanks. I always root for the underdog in eu4 so good job OPM!

I need to remake it for the Livy update - the current footage I have is from the 1.0 build when mana was still a thing. Thanks for the interest - I look forward to playing imperator again!

@@AlzaboHD still trying to do it?

​@@andrewdeleon559probably not

:)

:(

The duality of Mann

@@justuswalker8746 underrated comment

Yes

Not enough car bombs but it is acceptable

kaixo

hey whats up my Gravybabies

where is the flute music??

At least it's easy to draw

I tried watching his video but I dont understand british please send help

@@AlzaboHD you mean: English (traditional)

@@nomad7865 wouldn't that be Frisian? I mean that is the closest surviving language to "old english" modern day English Is partially latin due to the NORMANS.

@@Newbmann English has a lot of influence from the Latin languages, but it's quite distinctly Germanic as far as I'm aware.

@@Infinite_Jester old English was fairly Germanic being the language of the "Anglo Saxons" before a hole bunch of Norman's invaded and the upper class begun to speak more or less French and after that the 2 blended and then developed on its own leading to the english we have today and why we have multiple words for the same thing EG sheep and mutton or steak and beef.

I heard it too

Ce rire "français" ridicule est le sujet des blagues aux states - d'ou je viens. Merci et courage a toi!

Go to old patch

After some testing, I found that in the peace deal, you must RETURN cores to france, not cede them provinces. Don't know why, but it has worked in all three test runs and my ironman run so far

You really dont need to do this guide its made to look alot harder then it is all you need to do is get a alliance with Castile and its over raise your force limit to like 9ish and then eat Aragon,castile will guarantee you most of the time and as long as you throw him some scraps from aragon he wont turn on you once thats done rival castile and swap your alliance to the french and eat the rest of spain and im average at this game at best.

check florrywoory's stream on albania, he conquers ottomans on very hard

quick tip to surviving as Albania quickly take loans and merc up to force limit or SLIGHTLY OVER dont do much over then no cb on Imerati or circassia then transport all your troops to conquer it just like that you have secured yourself at least a few decades from the ottos since they RARLY go up fast after game start Or you could just merc up and push into Serbia and Bosnia but thats no fun.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aruEhKeaz6i2eKM.html This was an amazing run.

Sounds like a perfect april fools joke lol

@@AlzaboHD well at that point why not go all out and pick St. Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic with a custom nation

Navarra of course! You are definitely right. Personally I'd like an Euskara formable nation for a Navarra that owns Iberia. Would be awesome

ho boy that aged well in more ways than one

@@socalkaizer6137 I am still sad about no Haida Gwaii :(

Ethan Tull you start with the Castilian dynasty and the aragonese one comes with an event

Ethan Tull Seriously, other dynasties will create heirs like rabbits but half the time, my ruler either has an heir at age 50 (and then the kid dies a few years later from an event) or has praying mantis syndrome where they have a child at 20 then fall over dead, leaving me in regency for a decade.

To be fair Navarra is guaranteed Aragon, Naples and France which is pretty insane! Only castile (already shares a dynasty!) and austria (event) were relatively RNG, though certainly possible for a normal campaign

he uses the disputed succession tab to identify and snipe PU opportunities, for example as Austria I royal married Hesse who happened to have a 68 year old on the throne and they died literally the same week. This put a habsburg on their throne and made them a prime PU target if I were to want a PU over them

also alot of these were event/mission tree related or he used claim throne to do it through force as seen by Castile.

RadioRes has a pretty good one.

Ian Clifford I can’t stand that Indian accent :/

i tried and is impossible to allie them in the beginning

It's not impossible just did it ten minutes ago

There is a missing step in his guide , basically you also want France and Aragon to be Rivals .

@@KratosAurion7777 anyway France becomes angry on you when you make PU over Aragon because they want Aragon's lands

get your stab to -3 and get migration time short as possible. find those 3 plains provinces around modern day Washington DC and migrate between them, dumping all points into dev (your tech catches up when you reform off a European nation) once sufficiently dev'd start colonizing east coast. try to reform off of a European but only attack when the colony is a colonial nation, and full annex if possible to prevent a reconquest war. 100 years of monarch points will be dumped into just a few provinces, meaning you will have an incredible dev base to work off of to begin with and plenty of money to hire advisors to keep up with catching up in tech.

A boring but safe way: You want to delay contact as long as possible with the colonizers as they will instantly attack you if you are small. Attack Creek asap with the rival CB and intentionally feed them 2 of your provinces, you will need warscore for this otherwise they will only peace out on your own full annexation, he will likely have an ally, try to fight them separately, you can try to base race Creek and if you win they will accept your 2 provinces. Best strategy is to shatter Creek by baiting them into a fight before their ally arrives then go for their capital which will give you 1-2 extra ticks for your base race siege. Just 1444 if RNGjesus hates you. Now as an OPM you can migrate which gives free mana for your reforms. Hop around until you find a good trade good far from the East Coast.(generally fur or tobacco, gold is far away in the west coast which is possible but you will wait until 1700 until someone civilized arrives) Great lakes or Midwest areas are nice as the colonizers wont reach there until 1650ish. (e.g. Potawatomi is a level 2 trade center in the Ohio trade node with a starting 6 dev and defensive terrain.) Push for admintech 5 and get expansion ideas. Use spare MP and buildings to develop your new capital, so you can support a colonist. Around 1500 you should be able to start sending out colonists. With expansion ideas you should steadily reach the point where you always have 3 colonists working. The native buildings are very strong so abuse them to the max for money. The colonizers will first focus on the coastal area so you have plenty of time before they reach the inner continent. Your goal is to blob using colonists and occasionally eat neighbors until 1600, then slowly approach the shores. The best is when the Thirteen colonies start to colonize themselves since they are likely in threatened status they wont DoW you when you put your own colonies next to them. The overlord can still push for it but since you are quite large at this point they likely wont bother to use subject CB on you. You should also save up a lot of Mana so you can quickly tech up once reformed. Now you can DoW the Thirteen colonies and the Overlord wont be called in. If the Overlord is a great power be careful, they can still enforce peace. You can use the Reconquest CB as the colonies likely own your former 2 pronvinces you left behind and have permanent claims on. After reforming you are likely great power level or close, the only Colonizers that can threaten you at this point are Spain with Naples inherited as well and Great Britain with full control of their Island. France tends to be too invested in Europe and have a smaller presence. Since you waited long you will have vision on Europe and ally your enemies rivals. Alternatively you can wait for the US to break free then eat them when they have no allies in a reverse manifest destiny way.

@@csfelfoldi The rival CB doesn't allow for territorial changes. This should mean you can't give up your own territory either with that CB.

@@Infinite_Jester That's incorrect. The defender can take or you can offer them land. Only the attacker is not allowed to take land.

Same

I doubt you still have this problem, but if you do, enforcing peace isn't nessesarily required. You could just wait for the war to end

yep, been having a hard time reproducing this. whats been fucking me the most is early burgundy wars with france over provonce, and france being friendly towards aragon

Great to know! The only thing you'd miss out on is holy orders and deport minorities I think

How do you mean?

@@zyyro1864 The Golden Century DLC adds both of these features as paid mechanics. Deport minorities allows you to culture convert and colonize at the same time while holy orders grant bonuses, like 30% reduction on culture conversion. Sorry I didn't get too much into these mechanics during the video, hope that helps

It's okay, all that counts for me are your great videos. You ask'd for video suggestion's, it would be great to see a Imperator Rome video, im deciding to buy it and want to get into it a bit. I havn't checked if you already made a video after the updates that improved the gameplay.
