Fyi, the mission with Jean Bureau can be done by any general named Jean Bureau, so make shure to name any general Jean Bureau until you have that mission done.

Seeing the Ottomans slowly creeping West through the Balkans and into Germany and Italy without any comment from you is like a horror movie.

For anyone wondering about his loan situation leaving him in a bad place of debt spiral you have to consider 1. 10 loans is really not a big deal and 2. Once he finishes up with hre he has almost complete control of saxony, rhineland, lubeck, wien, bordeaux, north sea, and champagne all feeding into the English channel which he has majority of. He will be rolling in money really soon

Jesus Christ that was beautiful… It’s always really nice to see the HRE dissolving quickly

Great guide! Also thank you for all your guides, I did my first WC this week as Aragon->Sardinia-Piedmont->Spain->Rome and I used several things I learned from your videos! Keep up the awesome work.

the way you expand so quick is wild to me

Pro gamer move: When burgundian inheritence will fire, ally as many electors so whe austria declares war you can dismantle hre after siegeing vienna

This gave me so much anxiety man, great video 👍

Beautiful Big Blue Blob

Wow! Just wow! At the beginning I was confused as to why not get provence the friendly way by PU'ing and let it absorb Lorraine, then the -15% ae impact showed; and its way bigger deal in an aggressive strat like this.

2:10 I'm pretty sure that mission is each appqnage having either +125 relations OR less than 10 LD. It's just formatted weirdly.

Thank you for this. Got BBB in 1486 with no coalition

This was great. Tried and failed something similar several times. Gonna nick some of yer ideas here. Did however do something very similar with Bohemia the other day. Managed to get voted away as emperor so i figued. Well i guess ill just burn it all then. Managed to botch that later in the game even so. I always run into this weird 50 year lull usually later 1600´s or early 1700s when im just locked, stuck or have missed something minor like building a proper economy along the way.

voltaires nightmare is the real eu4

Dismantling the HRE without dismantling the HRE 👌

Should play a drinking game where you take a shot everytime this man says "i'm a bit overextended"

I don't even know how you could manage to run a country in a -50 gold deficit with more than 10 loans Even i'm already scared if i got more than five loans or having only -1 gold deficit

One Edit would be to feed Burgundy a lot of land before you get a union with them

“We’re gonna be a little bit over-extended” counter: broken due to over use

Couldn’t see if you did it but you can get some extra improve relations with the merchant in each node

that is beautiful

that was awesome

FYI you can carpet siege by using "v" once you split your troops no need to use esc and control group

Such a gluttonous campaign, I love it.

I love this channel, so good eu4 content not like other only one video, then never play the nation again

you can give alencon to orleans and click the event so you dont lose a stab and there is no more alencon vassal

Nevers automatically becomes your subject when you get the Burgundian Inheritance.

I have to use your way to reduce AE with my strategy at Client State from Mercenary Ideas: P

I normaly get the pu with Provence because of their mission King of rene that gives them.cores on naples and vasal feed them naples for almost no ae, i dont know if you find this a viable option as france

How many restarts did it take for you before neither Burgundy nor Castile were rivaled to you?

Why give Levies when nobles influence is such a problem? In first English war what did you do with Portugal? Also 6:12 shift click!!!

I'm gonna take a shot every time he says overextended/overextension

Did you just so happen to build a dragonslayer recently?

That's unusual strategy but for sure looks like a lot of fun 🤣

This actually makes big blue blob look possible, i feel like im gonna try for bbb with that, i just might not release provence to get avignon so im able to keep those core provinces without integrating which would take forever. im not sure if itll work, but i pray it does

Me picking two holy roman provinces Even ming join the coalition

Heya, I just saw the video and I was wondering since you decked on the entire HRE. Weren't you at any point allowed to dismantle it ? you would have gotten even less AE, no ?

Not getting the PU over Provence makes me angy

Royal Marriage Orleans BEFORE seaze land first time and giving privileges! It will keep them loyal as fck.

Since you can easily rival Austria, wouldn't it be better to squeeze in a quick dismantle war? Right after your war with England would be a good spot I'd guess.

The biggest of blue blobs.

can you pls slowly explain carpet siege tip at 20:40

I tried this. I tried so hard but Burgandy would not play nicely I get coalitions every time. Going to move on. 😊

PAAPAL PAPAL

only took 10 restarts until burgundy didnt rival you 🤣

Can you still do the 100% AE reduction ?

Noob here, what does unstating and restating do?

is this a good big blue blob strategy?

Bro didn't vasselized provence the strongest vassal in the entire game

'First you make sure that castille is friendly and Burgundy is not rivalled' ... I love your content man, I really really do, but I've just restarted 30 times and haven't had this combination roll up. Frustrating when you open with or revolve around really RNG stuff.

7:26 why you shouldnt core that? doesnt it gives u bonuses if u state that?

Haven't seen rebellions like that in eu4 since Obama was president 😅

How many hours in game?

Why not dismalte HRE ?

i feel like instead of giving all of the loyalty privileges just give one privilege to the nobility which does the same thing as all 3 "supremacy over nation"

None of this makes any sense to me

Great strategy guide, however this comes with the very grave downside that you have to play as a country of French people 🤮

Boy you pronounce a lot of words really strangely, has anyone ever told you? Papal, arms, Palatinate, just wrong. Honestly got so distracting I stopped watching lol.
