Yesterday, I met Ludi after he invaded my home and he lovingly beat me up and stole all of my belongings. What a great guy.

Lewdi out of context quotes of the day: "Gaza is gonna make for an easy target" "Racial segregation is extremely important"

18:13 *To form Germany u fight need to fight the ottomans* Vic3:😄 EU4:💀

Zollverein literally means Customs Union (or association).

You made a joke that in Romania a "buttload" is an actual unit of measure but... it *IS* an actual unit of measure! A butt is a wine cask, measuring 573 litres.

cursed protestant HRE

14:28 "Racial segregation is extremely important." - Ludi et Historia playing Prussia into Germany. 15:17 "Unfortunately, freaking, annoying French are guaranteeing the independence" - GB: "First time?" meme with James Franco. Edit: Glad to see Ludi being sponsored by Paradox considering how much effort and useful feedback on "Project Caesar" he provided them as well as coverage of the development (we all know that more people watch videos or listen to them than read the wall of text). Romanian man in Japan is getting his labour bear fruit. Good to see.

43:10 I'm not sure if that is a bug but the feature has been termed a yo-yo sway. Previously as long as you are not fighting in another war and were not siding with another participant in another war, you can sway the the undesirable side and then get a better sway with the desired side. You tend to get a lot of free expansion from revolutions.

15:12 DAMN I love this already, I did not expect the AI to be smart enough to do that, that's gonna make games a lot more fun I'm sure

Finally, Paradox is going in the right direction. Love these vids

43:43 tbh I don't think the concept of flip-flopping sides to leverage better deals is a bug necessarily, it seems pretty intentional as a way to leverage your power to coerce smaller states into giving you better deals, by siding with the opposing side and then saying "hey they're going to become my puppet and you can't win against me, how about you at least make sure you're the one ruling the new regime." There is however a weird sometimes glitch with it though, I don't remember the specifics but in my Raj run I ended up flip flopping twice to get both parties as my puppet and it kind of borked the game into just giving me two tiny puppets by negating the war somehow. That at least is probably a bug though I don't remember the specifics too well. Tl;dr, supporting the side you don't want to win to twist the arm of the side you do want to win is a feature, not a bug(imo at least, maybe they do end up removing it eventually)

11:50 German Empire and Friends 😂

Ludi is attracted to Prussia, like Romanians are attracted to Berlin apartments.

Ludi, now, when Central Asia is updated, you MUST play as Kazakhs. I’m waiting.

I'm starting a prussian run. 1. For principles I'm rushing construction one for the +20% construction efficiency company that also boosts throughput steel, glass, and tools. 2. For tech I'm going to stay in society until i get at least steel construction pm + pan nationalism + another company. 3. I'm also going to day 1 transfer the east indies to me (easy to occupy netherlands)

45:07 Isn't this just modern day Europe lol

Ludi I already pre purchased the expansion off steam but had I known, I would have bought it from your link to kick you back some moolah. I thoroughly appreciate your EU5 videos. You have a profound knowledge of history that puts you at the top for paradox content creation 🍻

Looking very much like the extra time was put to good use! I'm quite excited for Sphere of Influence!

Now I gotta learn this game all over again, nice!

Ludi, are you a fellow Prussofile because of Carol I of Romania? I never knew much about him until recently and surprised to found out Romania had Hollenzollern leader not that long ago.

Dude, if you form Central Europe as a republic (just non-monarchy/theocracy) you gain French as an accepted culture. Best button click in the game.

I used your link and bought it man that was a pain in the ass, but I’m glad you got credit for it

New update ruined my first and last run. I was playing as the Ottomans. All my buildings and land I owned got bugged out. Australia had land in Europe. Denmark owned the entirety of Italy. Should've known the new update would ruin my run.

"I gotta fight the Ottomans to form Germany" In Vicky 3, this is a tragedy. In EU4, this is Tuesday

Great video! Love it!

Looks like Vicy3 is finally released

Love to see you play vic 3

The DLC looks unreal. Love it, Ludi.

Old Age Pension is an incredibly strong institution for a country that is well-developed, it will make your consumer market explode and drive GDP growth even faster with that extra dependent income. S-tier institution that is only narrowly beaten by public health service.

Vicy 3 looks so great now

Fucking finally!!! I ws tired as shit when my vassal would not be interested in building oil rigs or other important infrastructures, despite high price and me bankrolling them.

awesome, looking forward to play along once its released tomorrow

"i trade you this *granata" Lubi do not have limits. LOL

Wow this dlc looks amazing 😮

Bravo Paradox 👏

You're the BEST Ludi!!!!!

One of my favorite things with migration in this game is when you get a mass migration of Yankee Pops going back to europe

Thanks for the video.

The secret police are the best because they always make surprise parties. :D

Finally vic 3

since the german unification relies solely on if a nation has ethnic german as it's base culture...could you liberate the baltic governates and unify with them, making an even greater greater germany? someone needs to "persuade" russia to let the germans unify

28:50 You will technically own the stuff

56:16 i bet because of the Korn and Beer consumption lol

Love the longer/full series videos. Will be interesting to see how the game changes in this patch affects the ability to form super germany. The old strategy of liberating Hungary/Czechs in the leadership war, forcing them down to minor power, and improving relations so they support you as a unification candidate might not be viable any more.

The yo-yo sway is not a bug, it's a feature of the game design.

26:19. Americans: "Me too, kid. Me too."

Awesome, thank you very much!

A little tip: its actually helpful to keep the religeous intrest group powerful because that is the only group that supports public healthcare(if you don't have charity hospitals)

another one prussian video with Ludi. i love it

Zollverein is the German word for customs union.

I am a bit angry that when i bought the most expensive version of the game i got shit dlcs and the first true one costs an arm and a leg

“I trade you deise granate” 😂

I think we need to talk about a bigger tech tree if you are able to be on the last techs by 1900 already xD

i kinda hoped theyd fix the guaranteeing across the planet with that addon. but seeing the ottomans make oldenburg a protectorate is just as insane as it was before when the qing allied brazil or some other crazy shit

bruv actually coming with german memes at the start :D hans bring den flammenwerfer ... u are out of this world ludi :D

Love your vids ludi

Is the dlc part of the first expansion pass, so included in the "deluxe" edition? Can't remember

ludi without a moustache is such a sight to behold

Wallachia, moldavia, Serbia are quite litteraly broken, everyone of my ottoman empire games they maximise their industry to a level that the single biggest producer of some specific resources or products are them. I remember seeing like 800 engines production in moldavia when the 2nd biggest production in the ottoman market is one of my random provinces with 100 150 or something.

Great video and I thought it was hilarious

Dunno if its a bug or not but in my prussia game I made supergermany and then formed HRE with only papal state as puppet and because of primary Italian culture of HRE (I think so) I managed to unify "italy" as HRE and got entire Italian peninsula for free using standard Italian mechanics

Damn Lubis German has gotten so good I can barely distinguish him from a Swiss-Saxon

18:20 Who doesnt know the infamous German - Turkish war to unify Germany.

I hope they make an 'open trade' interaction for scenarios like when you were almost able to invite Sweden, it could highlight different trade goods that would be most profitable to import or export specifically between your two countries when seeking to improve relations.

In this video and the one from OPB I didn't see much of the Lobby system, I'm curious if that mechanic works properly.

how do you give you're subject a state? (in a diplomatic play or else) I cant figure out to do so...

Das ist Gut!

Construction and the company it gives you is also pretty good for power bloc mandate

Have the warfare issues finally been addressed? Or, will we need to wait for 1.8+?

19:35 jokes on you romanian man, i already live there HAHA!!

The Power bloc principles are completely OP. I did not expect it to be perfectly balanced from the get go but they are even stronger than I expected. The Dixie migrating to Germany is very silly. A nerf in month or two will be welcome.

the performance optimization you talked about is this also for people who don't have the dlc?

I wish I could play Vicky 3 when the DLC drops but my PCs boot file is REALLY corrupted :(

How Europe would look if Ludi was in charge

Vici 3 byz - - > Roman Empire when?

Can you please play as either nahua or maya in Victoria 3? I’ve never seen anyone do this before!

40s left and all I can think is what the hell was happening in Finland ever since 1911? :D

18:08 eu4 moment

VICI IS REVIVED, VICI IS REVIVED, VIVA LA VICIIII❤❤VIVA LA LUDI

Guys what was the change that made manpower recovery slower? I don't see it in the changelog for the patch

damn seems like the beta has ended. do troops still teleport to their main HQ sometimes?

Connoisseur approved prussia video

Schnappeldoop Block gonna turn everybody in its little Shnupfeldorf

i will use your code bro i love your chanel !

Ludi please play as Persia for the great game content

Average Paradox Player: "-Racial Segregation is extremely important"

27:21 you NEVER want to hear this from a German

No Ludi, the Center Focus of the DLC is the survivor of the game

Plowerbloc well said!

What if you try a play through where you can only take control of countries through the power block system?

It's really weird seeing Anglo-Canadians immigrate en masse to Silesia

Zollverein means Customs Union (glaube ich)

Zollverein means literally Customs Union

Ludi, Zollverein means customsunion :)

Where is Austrian part two? 6k likes?!

leeetttssssss gooooo HRE!!!!!!!

Yay more features with more buttons to forget to click

So they still haven't fixed the issue with every country randomly falling into civil war?

ludi not making 2 actual army groups but keeping the ones from start has me crying
