8/10 not enough border gore in the HRE - IGN

Ludi shows Eastern borders of Hungary: "Hungary have most western borders protected" That's what happens when you have too much Brandenburg guys

Congrats on hitting 200k Ludi, can I get my wallet back now?

My thoughs too the electors: It calls one of the electors "Rhine" because the Palatinate was called "Pfalzgrafschaft bei Rhein" (schnabadidub at Rhine). I think it is just another name but the same country as in EU4✌

The tribute system is backwards, the Yuan pays their tribute in order to gain celestial authority to pass laws and mandates

8:08 Actually those are quite historical borders, because Władysław I Elbow-high did titanical work trying to united Polish lands (he became prince of small duchy in 1267, aged 7, and died in 1333, aged 72/3). If anything is missing it is Wieluń land (incorporated in 1339), which is surprising because Sieradz Land is a vassal state (also incorporated in 1339). Although I am not sure about Masovia and Tuetonic Order

Ludi's so happy, he's literally glowing.

24:20 You’re wrong actually. Wales wasn’t fully integrated into England politically or legally until 1542 with the Laws in Wales Acts under the Tudors. Before then, the Principality of Wales still existed under a sort of Personal Union with the King of England (though it was the heir to the thrown that ruled Wales as the Prince of Wales). The Principality of Wales only existed in the north though, with direct English feudal lords (Marcher Lords) in the south.

"Basil II borders by 1400" I can already see the Ludi guides.

Holy moly, this map is detailed. I particularly noticed the province of Chur in today's Switzerland is closed off on the Western border by mountain ranges - - but there is a way through to the South. The way South is a mountain pass known as the Lukmanier which was the most important North-South connection of Switzerland at the time. There was no such pass towards the West: The Oberalppass was only built in the 19th century!! If the whole map is as accurate, this is going to be a feast!

This looks awesome, my doubts are slowly dwindling. The HRE map looks insane!

Rhine would be the "Palatine Count of the Rhine" so yeah, the palatinate.

I think that the electors are dividend into 2 groups, those being crown electors (brandenburg, bohemia, ect.) and bishop electors (trier, mainz, ect.) as the bishop electors have different colours from other bishoprics( like münster and utrecht)

I'm from Italy and I'm very upset with one thing: in 1337 Forlì was ruled by the ghibellines family of the Ordelaffi and controlled most of central Romagna, in particular the Ordelaffi took the city of Cesena around 1333, but in the map the tag ruled by the Ordelaffi is "Ces." (Cesena). This is also extremely important because in 1356 cardinal Albornoz launched a CRUSADE against the Ordelaffi and Forlì as we were the last ghibelline city insinde the papal state and one of the things this did was giving Cesena its independence from Forlì. dio porco

When it comes to electors we got the same as in 1444 (Brandenburg, Trier, Mainz, Köln, Böhmen, Pfalzgrafschaft bei Rhein) but Saxony as we know it in 1444 doesn't even exist yet. The Duchy of Sachsen-Wittenberg was formed in the split of the Duchy Saxony in 1296 (Wettiner got Meißen and Askanier got Wittenberg). In the Golden Bull of 1356 Sachsen-Wittenberg got promoted to an electorship. The Askanian family branch of the electorship of Sachsen-Wittenberg died out in 1422 and the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg gave the title to the Duchy of Meißen (Meissen) in 1423. Therefore the electorship of Saxony only existed from 1423 onwards.

On the Welsh.... Though the Marcher Lords were very much English, they were mostly in the most valuable south (Gwent, Deuhuebarth, Monmouth, Dfyed) . A long lasting revolt after this time would occur lead by Owain Glyndwr who rallied support in the north wet and east of wales.

20:16 it looks like the chinese emperor is the one paying the tributaries and not the other way around

2:20 imagine a Grand Strategy expert still failing with West and East :P

Venice isn't exaggerated in size anymore😂😂

200k!!! ludi you are amazing! lets get 300k before the release of eu5!

Félicitation à nouveau pour tes 200.000 abonnées :) Hâte de voir la méga campagne. Je prépare déjà mon fromage et mes toasts avec mon verre de vin ;)

I love the content Ludi! Definitely one of my favorite KZfaqrs, please keep up the great work, your fans love it! 💯💪

Ludi, Congrats on 200K subs! You do a great job with entertaining and educating content, keep it up!

Kinda late to the party, but pls Paradox make the navy in EU5 useful and fun!! And a little bit more detailed.

200k! Saludos desde España 🎉

Damn I love watching these videos by Ludi. These really allow for his historical knowledge to shine through, and these lead me on my own reading journeys :)

Thanks again for your work!!! Waiting in new one!!❤

Rhine is probably the palatinate, or pfalzgrafshaft bei Rhine, I might have slightly misspelled that, but it's an elector in 1444 too Iirc.

Love you Ludi! You’re the BEST!!

"Institution" would probably be the best name over "international organization", but I guess they're using that name for Renaissance, Printing Press etc.

Congrats for 200k!

I love what paradox is coming up with so far, very exciting stuff

Now I wanna see a playthrough with the Schnappledoop of Schgakabagadook

Can't wait for EU5 to be released

Great video!

Congratulations! Well deserved!

So we can make an International Organization called the Space Marines and pass a bunch of laws making our military stronger? Brandenburg 100% is going to be my first playthrough.

We love your content Ludi. Not only your game expertise and silly humor, but your historical accuracy and references you make while playing. It takes your videos to the next level

16:18 hahahaha i was reading a message on my phone for a sec and was alerted by his words :D:D

Grats on the 200k subs!! 🎉

Bro is shining 🌟

That makes me wonder if the Commonwealth (PLC) will be a formable international organization.

You’ve said that Poland should be more divided. At that period that wasn’t already the case - these duchies were Polish “appanages” and vassals, because in 1331 Poland defended itself against Bohemia and the Teutonic Order securing its newly gained independence from the former. Yes, Bohemia, because it was ruled for a brief moment by monarchs of Bohemia. Poland was feudally fragmented from 1138 and it eventually came to an end in 1296 (the king was assassinated and fell under Bohemia), but then in 1320 Władysław the Elbow-High finally crowned himself a king unfortunately uniting only a few of original Polish provinces as ages passed they fell under control of other neighbours. In 1337 Casimir the Great ruled Poland (1333-1370) and he was the greatest Polish monarch. German general Litzmann wrote in the XIX century that Poland in that period became a modern European power from a backwater. His stats in eu4 should be depicted as 6/6/6 and he ruled quite long. He constructed various castles, gave privileges to dozens of cities and expanded infrastructure and country as it tripled in size. Hadn’t he died before a legitimate heir (he was quite prolific and had many bastard sons) Poland wouldn’t have become a noble parliamentary republic, because the first privileges were obtained after his heirless death. These are the arguments that should grant Poland insanely good events in Eu5 at the start. Poland’s power started to wane only in 1650s after 1333. Sidenote: Poland evaded the Black Death, because of its then sparser urban population and Casimir’s the Great locking down the country (yes, lockdown).

Kárpát-medence is so beautiful now! Can't wait to play.

Rhine is the Palatinate; in German it is Pfalzgraf zu Rhein or the Palatinate on the Rhine in English

Can you make a video talking about the flags that you see in the tinto talks and rate them on "historical accuracy" or something like that? BTW congrats for the 200k

9:35 you forgot the Colleges of Magic in Altdorf.

2 things: 1. Everything being a flexible organization is great. One of the weakest points of EU4 modding is restriction to some form of a single HRE/China. 2 or 0 are not options. 2. The PU stuff is probably going to work like it did in real life. 2 countries have their own laws, customs, and powers of the monarch. What is legal in country A may be illegal in country B. I think this will affect things like Taxes, Levies, Construction, Trade etc.

Thanks for your Work ludi. The area near to Ruppin is Havel or Havelland.

Eu5 video with Eu3 background music. Nice !

I really hope that rivers especially big ones will have more impact like in ck2 with Vistula, Danube because in eu4 it's just -1 and I know that it changes a lot of battles but it would be cool if for example having your border on big river like Rhine would be a tactical disadvantage like I previously mentioned in ck2 or medieval 2 tw or mount and blade games. I know that this comment isn't really related but the mountains in Hungary bit got me thinking about that

Looks so goooooood!

THis new organization level of gameplay and more organizations than just Mandate and HRE...it is very interesting. Looking forward to it.

@23:50 Ludi, I think its stated in the dev diary that PU's will be more similar to defensive alliances

1337 the HRE had a Emperor, Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor, crowned in 1327, reigned until 1347. The guy organized in 1337 the englisch-HRE-Holland Alliance, which started the 100years war. And he gave in 1337 the crusade privilege to the teutonic order against lithuia and russoa, which kickstarted the 100 years of conflict. So he were actually a stronger emperor. And his reign pushed the members to the golden bull from 1356, which restricted the power of the emperor, and were the start of the downfall of the HRE.

8:39 it’s The Palatinate, as the full name is The Palatinate of the Rhine. I guess they chose the second half of the name in EU5 instead of the first like in EU4. Also, congrats on the 200k!

200k let's go!

Ludi: This is amazing! Me: This is amazing, but it's a programming hell! I'm kind of surprised they'd deem all of these as a part of a MVP (minimal viable product) when it is actually extremely in-depth and tied together. With that being said, Paradox can just have my money. I am very impressed by the complex systems introduction and I am surely getting this! I also want to send my best regards to their whole team, and may your health be good, so you can enjoy our money! Bravo!

"Rhine" is the Palatinate and Saxony is also an elector, just a tiny one because fragmentation was still possible

I remember the old days and the potato computer. Youve come a long way

HRE map in thumbnail is a legend!

thanks!

The English also held Lordship over Aquitaine, France presumably will get an event to take it shortly into the game to start the Hundred Years War, as that was the flashpoint that kicked that off

I visited the Scala Family castle in Verona last summer. Beautifull city, Beautifull castle and museum in it. 10/10 Would eat icecream there again.

All that border gore makes my head spin, I hope some events will happen over the first 100 years where some of those duchy fusion together to reduce the skittles.

8:45 , 22:57 I think the purple are the three ecclesiastical Electors and the blue are the four secular electors.

I think the word "Institution" might work better than IO. You could even use different "kind" of instituitons, such as "Religious Institution"

Can't wait to find out what this secret game is!

Trier, Cologne, and Mainz do seem to be electors, their color is probably different because they’re ecclesiastic electors

I really like that they added mountains to create more choke points for armies. It never felt right that armies could cross the alps without any issues.

hai pronunciato bene i nomi italiani, complimenti ❤❤❤❤

Wonder if the amount of regiments in front row (as in eu4 begins with 20 and then increases with tech lvl) is more restricted in the passage whem crossing mountains e.g. front row can only have 4-5 regiments when you cross the mountain pathways and enemy is right beyond(cuz in reality if you are at opening on one side and know that enemy is coming you will always try to catch them in the valley or narrow passage for it being THE best way for quality to win over quantity instead of an battle out in open where quantity can just surround and cannae you)

I hope that holy orders make it as organizations. Portugal refused to turn over the members of the Knights Templar and they formed the Order of Christ. It might be a bit meme but would love if somehow playing as Portugal you could reform the Knights Templar.

I really hope that this is gonna allow for nicely fleshed out systems in places like the Ottoman Empire and its relationship with its subjects, the colonial empires, the French Kingdom, and maybe even things a bit out of the timeframe like the German Confederation and Empire

The polsci or sociological and even philosophical term would be institution. In Anthropological Philosophy Gehlen uses institution quite freely to define anything from tribal structures to what we would generally recognize to be institutions, e.g. state institutions, church etc.

I would love to see a Holy roman Empire system where you can go Imperial or go republican which has unique bonuses attached to each of them and affects how centralization works, such as do you want more authority or do you want years of sepratism reduced it would make for more dynamic hre mechanics

Talking About Organisations. Can't Wait To See About The Holy Orders, If They Can Own Land In Some Way Like In CK 2 😀

Ludi ascending to heaven by cranking the bloom on the facecam

I am really excited for this game, really. When they started to talk about it, I did not have any expectation, but the more I know about what they are doing, the more I have expectations and hype. But with all of that, I am asking myself a question : we know that the game will start before 1337 ( the dev diary say we have to enact the Golden Bull ourselve, in comms Johan said that the Golden bull is kinda inevitable by 1337, so we know the start date is before that ) so the balance of power does not have anything to do with what we have in 1444. How will that come out in game ? It is obvious that we will never have any kind of ressemblance with the 1444 maps, but what about the great power of history like France/Muscovy that are not in the best situation at the start of the game ? Will the AI be able to manage to get them on top, without nerfing to much the English or the other Russian nation etc... ( I took those exemple because they are the first I did think about, but other like Ming then Qing or so can be mentionned. Can Qing even pop in the game ? )

You're wrong about the welsh thing btw, they were *technically* not integrated into the kingdom of England until 1536 when the acts of union with wales were issued.

It would be interesting if international organisations had their own “missions” as an entity

in the iberian peninsula they should add benimerin (marinids) which were holding cities such as Algericas until 1344

I wanted to see the victorum universalis borders in the hre but maybe in the next eu6

ludi my bro i think your camera had something on the lense XD

Ludi, you should let your community pick what your mega campaign is?

2:29 all quiet on the western front

The kingdom of x or duchy of y could also represent great powers...

One thing because the start date is of project cesar is 1337 and 1336 the last Piast died in Racibórz/Ratibor/Ratiboř/Rattebor therefore because it goes under Opava reign it should be spelled/written differently e.g. Ratiboř. Only my thoughts but in eu4 it was called Ratibor, but it started a little bit later

Hell yea

i'm very hyped for unions being dynamic, there's nothing in eu4 to model how even though scotland "got" a PU over england, england was still the dominant power

I hope they add some sort of de jure system like in CK to represent that for example all of the French duchies are part of the French Kingdom, not just other countries subject to France.

Regarding the wales thing, sometimes you have to make a judgment between what is more fun and what is more historical, and so long as it's integrated in a way that works, ie the heir to the throne of England is the ruler of the principality of Wales in some way, or maybe there's a British Governor that operates it.. blah blah blah... it's fine.

The extendet timeline mod will be amazing

So it says that Unions are "sort of Defensive Alliances" does this mean that we won't be able to use them in offensive wars, or do you think it will be based off the level of integration?

Actually Poland was pretty united by then. Centralization started to occur at the beggining of XIII th century.

I think institutions would be a good name for the organizations, since that is really what they are.

The hre did have things to do with the roman empire, it depends on the timeframe, the emperor was called the roman emperor during the middle ages and only later changed to the roman-german emperor, it controlled large parts of italy for centuries, it only became less and less centrilized since the 11th century.

I can`t find the full map that he shows in the video...any help?

I played EU4 illegaly for many years and bought it on in sale for 17$ only 4 years ago, but I will probably buy this on release!
