is this also working if i am using the german version of the game?

Taking the occasion since I hope you'll see this : am French, and regarding your general Jean Bureau, his name does not mean butter. In French, butter is written (and said) "beurre". Bureau would be more like ... well, bureau, or desk.

@@cmskunkp1979 the humble bundle gives you steam keys for each individual product, i am assuming it does work if you have eu4 on steam, is there a german law that prevents steam keys from working? Ifnot, it should work.

@@YuriBink No i do not think so but i just wondered. Ty and greetings from Germany

Hi Ludi quick question : something I never understood about of eu4 streamers and content creators always say that you have to be at peace to annex vassals but it isn't true, only the vassal has to be at peace. Therefor if you enable scutage you can still start annexing vassals while being in the middle of a war

yesss I was thinking of beurre xD

"Johnny Office" sounds like the name of a private detective in a 1940s noir movie.

Johnny Desk would make a really bad "Pirates of the Caribbeans" movie, lol

@@LudietHistoria that's a weird mix-up considering bureau also exists in english -> example : the american Federal Bureau of Investigation

@@axeldesaintalbin4922 its because i have dyslexia so i read wrong completely wrong a lot

I remember reading something about it being based on Welsh words and Finnish grammar, but I'd believe your "grad paper" knowledge over my "read it somewhere before the times of men" knowledge.

@@VinceDick You aren't wrong, there are some words in Elvish which are similar to Welsh, Sindarin actually has a lot of Welsh inspired words, with that being said Quenya is more of a Finnish product. Even if there are Welsh influences in the Elvish languages, I haven't actually found Irish roots, maybe there are, my research is primarily focused on Game of Thrones, since I read Tolkien a few years ago. I approach Tolkien's works in my first chapter of the paper as well as Dark Souls, The Witcher and Berserk and then move on to GOT.

@@WeeBDemon408 I would say that Andrzej Sapkowski used more Irish words and place names in The Witcher then Tolkien. there are many such examples

Just looked up on wikipedia that Tolkien took inspiration for the elves from both Nordic countries (mainly Finland) and celtic, which includes Ireland, but was apparently mainly focused on Welsh influence.

Hm, interesting, from what I've read he had heavy Celtic influence, and I've done my fair share of Celtic archaeology. He describes elven places in the fashion of Newgrange, uses Irish permutations from the Tuatha de Danaan, and even my screen name is based on a the name of a Tuatha de Danaan Tolkien only altered a few letters for elven names. Not to mention its references to the sagas of the Cattle Wars. Even the Barrows and Wights are heavy references to the Irish kings borrowed in ancient barrows the English thought were haunted. Tolkien did write a bit talking about how similar Sanskrit was to Celtic which surprised him. Tolkien said he envisioned the world of Middle Earth as a mythical history of the British Isles, like the Aeneid, Illiad or Finnish Kalevala. The Noldor and the Tuatha de Danaan is one paper that comes to mind. Tolkien did not focus on Celtic or Irish mythology overall, but it heavily influenced his view of elves which he talks about to some degree. He even wanted the German translation to be Alb instead of Alfen, to separate them from the 'Teutonic' idea of the Alf. Specifically this linguistically refers to Albion, the British Isles, because he did not want the elves associated with the dimunitive use from the Victorians who dimunitized many Celtic beliefs, such as turning Lugh, one of the Tuatha de Danaan, into a short god of luck and calling him a Leprechaun. Brythonic was a Celtic language, and overall its likely the Celtic influence was more Welsh than Irish with the exception of the elves. edit: It is important to note that most Celtic words, be they Irish or Welsh Brythonic, do not sound anything what they look like. Tuatha de Danaan is closer to ''tuad jey danaan". The writing comes from Anglo Saxon standards, as my Irish friend stated 'we didn't have a th sound when the English made us use their alphabet'. Welsh and Irish are close enough to be intelligible, and probably before the settlement of the Romans and Anglo-Saxons was the same language. There is a distinct consanant shift however, with Welsh names having softer intonations in a lot of cases.

Hope you enjoy it!

It's also office.

Thanks a lot jacob! I love NZ, beautiful country!

@@LudietHistoria too bad there’s nothing to do here 😆

Bruh, we should be sleeping right now

@@sKadazhnief we got hobbiton tho

Destroy them all, stack wipe them all.

yeah you right about it

ai assaults alot too

Very true bro, RNG is a massive bici xD

What are the changes AE got lately? if anything i think the game is more challenging now, tho im just a noob

@@MrAndersongustavo In the older versions AE was way more punishing and coalitions were faster to form. for example, as france, you take brittony and your territory in the 100 years war and halve of the western HRE members got in a coalition against you. As you can see in the video thats not the case anymore

@@Volmest Expanding massively has become MUCH easier thanks to the "concentrate development" button ... which Ludi uses everywhere ... and without that one it would be quite a bit slower.

@@Muck006 thx I know. What I mean is we've been given tools that make snowballing in the early game much easier than the past. I play eu4 since 2017, but not that much anymore as I have work and all that. The concentrate dev is only for coring, mind you. You core a province cheeper.But AE is taking the dev that a province HAS at the point you take it not what it has later. But yes, I also love concentrate dev for expansion purposes. Personally I like playing tall more, so I tend to play netherlands, Japan, Portugal or HRE countrys more than f.e. russia, france etc. I'm the type of weird guy that likes historical borders and modern borders and aim for that more than being the strongest nation

I will once we get 10k sir!

Yay! Thank you!

He got the Burgundian Inheritance in pt2 anyway

My dumbass started like 3 wars with them, lmao. Then they got shit on by some tiny duchy and rebels and I have no idea what's going on but it's funny as shit.

I really hope it does, I recorded the 2nd part already, but will edit it when it reaches 10k

@@LudietHistoria looking forward to the video;) p.s. got a tip for mid-game burgundy?

@@LudietHistoria it is done already lol! 10k in just one day!

More to come!

glad to hear it Stef!

Thanks for information

ahahha glad you liked it Andrew! France is definitely super fun and RIDICULOUSLY STRONG!

@@LudietHistoria In a recent Tuscany run, the AI France managed to get the full Burgundian Inheritance, but then like 3 years later they fell into a PU under Austria! Even with 100% liberty desire they still fought all of Austria’s wars for them. It was insane.

yes sir, but if u let it fire, u dont get portugal in the war, so u wont get the warscore unless u lucky enough to move troops to scotland beforehand, which 90% of times u can't because it fires by january

He was also very inspired by norse mythology.

Nah, garrison was at full strength when the ottomans took it, in selanik, in paris and in transylvania, it's just poopoo rng

thanks Ninjaboy! Hope you enjoy the video and good luck in your run!

Allons enfants de la patrie !

With a sprinkle of Finnish too

awww thanks bro, really appreciate that! What u playing nowadays? Maybe i can cover those games!

@@LudietHistoria Lot of rpg’s(but it’s not good content to watch on KZfaq I think) and other strategy games such as rim world, cities skylines, factorio, don’t starve together, civ 5 and 6, stellarris, …

There is a PU CB over Naples in the french missions and on other one with an event. That's a waste of a diplo slot.

Good to know! xD MISTER BUTTER SAN

you dont need allies to fight the english sir. Also, if u wait for it to trigger, u cant get enough warscore to get ALL the cores in france plus the pale and calais, which is why u should declare and get ur warscore from portugal

yes, the game of my childhood sir

Agreed, I was like 6 back then

Thanks

I wanted to take calais for the extra trade power in the english channel. Was gonna take ceuta in 2nd war but forgot xD

Thats even worse xD
