you're missing the suicidal conquer liege war man

"We don't really need anyone's support because we're way more powerful than Burgundy" The Tale of the two Burgundies

15:47 The Feast of the Pheasant was a banquet organized by Philip of Burgundy, at which he and a large number of other noblemen promised to go on crusade against the Ottomans. However, although many preparations were made, he never actually went on crusade.

I always love how you take special steps to ensure that your guides resemble what the player will encounter in a normal run. This is why your guides are recommended among the community. Keep it up! 👍

I can’t imagine how painful it must have been to roll that god tier champion of the joust and not use him because it is a guide video

This still works in 1.35 however DO NOT unpause your game after you fall under France. 1.35 gave France an ability to kick Mary of a horse instantly integrating your nation. Declare immediately without getting support from Austria and others.

You can also grab a province to release Toulouse in that first war! One more French vassal with some good cores!

Recommend vassalising Provence after the burgundian inheritance and help them get back to 100 dev. This will give your vassal Provence cores on all of Naples.

1) invade Liege

a nice little tip is, if you hold ctrl while selecting units it will only select navies :-).

23:15 I’d recommend lowering autonomy as well everywhere. Land gained through inheriting a vassal starts with 60% autonomy. Doing so will help with your income and force limit.

When the dlc comes out I think a Teutonic Holy Horde game is a must

You’re truly my favorite eu4 channel Red Hawk! I watch you basically everyday keep up the good work!!

As others have said, you won't be able to declare independence right away. Hawk is mistaken, but got lucky with the event. However, you can basically either declare conquest immediately(since you have claims on all France's lands) or you can wait for the Burgundian Inheritance incident to fire. Then France usually gives the land up and releases a bunch of countries. Once the incident fires, you then will be able to declare independence. It's totally fine because you retain cores on all the low countries land you previously held. So you can handle the France war, then wait for the truce to expire then take it all back in reconquest. In the meantime between Independence and reconquest of the low countries, you can ensure you get into the HRE. Having the emperor as an Ally and high opinion makes this very likely. Then you can simply take all that low country land in a handful of easy wars(all of em may just ally each other). Plus, this allows you to move your capital to the much more optimal Amsterdam.

Imagine following all the steps in detail, managing to do everything even 3 years in advance and then being instantly annexed after becoming the puppet of France with my vassals.

If you want your capital in Amsterdam just remove it from the HRE and you save admin points since its cheaper to move there Than to Brugge.

Been watching your guides (and A to z of course!) for a while now, and I just want to say that I think they're incredibly well done. By some distance the best I have found! I love the detail, and the fact that you explain the WHY for these small details. I am still relatively new with only 500 ish hours in the game, and while I am somewhat competent there are so many nuances to this game that all these little bits of information are very helpful to improve as a player and understand the game better. Thank you for the amazing content!

Part of me died inside when you didn’t use that insane champion of the joust general. 😭

Pretty sure you can't declare independance war against france if the lowland crisis is up in the HRE. Also for some reason the transfer subject from the age objective let you vassalize lorraine for very low AE

STRENG GEIHEM

"Hmm maybe I'll try playing burgundy" First week, duke died

I would recommend to focus on Military points because with an advisor you can get tec 4 very early so that the French armies have no chance of winning battles.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH WITH THOSE BURGUNDY GUIDES

You have no idea how many times I've failed as Burgundy, thanks for the guide

You should improve relation with French vassals before the first war which gives you massive advantage and France can’t integrate them

In my case France annexed Orleans almost instantly and used the free diplo slot to ally the Ottomans. Great!

You can also delay Burgundian inheritance to 1500s by save scumming and saving Charles, that way 99% of the time Marie will die soon after you fall under PU and you get that event to declare war on France. Just a tip if you dont want to lose stab by declaring independance war. Also if you are struggling in the first war with the French you can first do that mission that gives liberty desire to their vassals and it will be an easy war. Nice video!

24:11 I think there's a mistake here. You only get the indepence CB after France cedes the lowlands. At least that's my experience.

Props on ur guides, its very entertaining and teaching! Not like generous guides were u fade away in the first half

Video title: annex france instantly Video: played for 60 years and france still exists

Burgundy is so good that it can, by manuvering the Burgundian succession, get PU CB on all electors

Unlucky that I'm just finishing my Burgundy into Lotharingia campaign (almost 1800) on the day this guide comes out. Will definitely keep in mind the suggestions to wait out the truce before abdicating so Austria doesn't demand the lowlands, and to switch my capital to the lowlands to prevent the Dutch revolt. Both of which happened to me in my game lol. Anyways, amazing guide as always!

Your guides are top notch💕

for 24:30,you don't have that option because Paradox removed the independance casus belli from Burgundy before the imperial event for the lowlands conclude,so you don't cheese it like you're doing (clearly it doesn't work as you're showing,since you can use regular casus belli instead that a personal union can't use normally,because they just replaced the casus belli table from the subject option to regular,the event making it so you inherit all vassals is also lazily coded to allow the reconquest exploit) Edit : You can't finish the succesion mission until 1500 regardless of what happens,since the imperial incident doesn't get resolved properly.

Tip: As France or burgundy, I like to get Provence as a vassal. They have an opportunity to get cores on Naples in mission tree.

I was just about to start a Burgundy campaign and here this is. 4 views 8 likes.

You have no idea how much i want to play as burgundy when i get my new pc. Saw your old 1.32 guide and ludi's 1.32 guide. Now watched ludi's part 2 from today and now your video. Btw great channel keep up your work!

You tutorial is one of the best! Youre very helpful for beginners, which dont know much about game.

It's a nice strategy. However I think it could be improved by integrating nevers at 1449. Because you are always way above the relationship limit having nevers costs you 1 diplo every month. It should cost you some 70 Diplo to integrate it. So having nevers around till 1484... costs you al lot of Diplo.

14:30 missed opportunity to grab all of Bar. I know RH said not to, but here's why I would reccomend it anyways. 1. Provence had actually REMOVED barrois from the empire, thats a noticable difference in AE, among other benefits. 2. Taking it now prevents Provence from moving his capital there in case he loses provence proper to the Pope or Savoy (or Aragon, rarely enough.) 3. You need a certain province count in the France region to finish the mission that gets France's vassals to defect, this helps with that. 4. Taking at least the single higher developed province in Bar means that between Anjou and the remaining province, Anjou is likely to be Provence's capital should he lose provence proper to the Pope like most games. It also means he won't change his capital to the province in Bar, as the AI likes to do when there's more dev. there, further enabling provence to join the HRE, making finishing him off much harder. Alternatively, RH should have quickly warned Brittany, as this would dissuade him from taking Anjou like he usually does, meaning Provence is likely to move his capital there if he loses provence proper. EDIT: As seen later in the video, 17:30 , Provence WAS forced into the empire. Just sayin'.

Man, thanks to you I had most entertaining game of EU4. Thank you very much.

Would during the first war for Champagne's cores you not be able to take a core of Toulouse, as well as Gascony? That would give you most of southern France as well

Love your Videos would like a Guide for Florenz it would be cool to see a guide for playing tall in Italy

If you get a mission for Picardy claims on England and you declare on them before France, they'll surrender Maine without a fight but you can take on the stuff on the north coast of France with minimal struggle. Also I haven't tried yet but I assume you can still get a early PU over Bohemia if they rival Austria and Austria won't intervene.

I really like almost all your nation guides but one thing that I think you don't always get right is the ideas you should pick. Imo, quantity and then economic are the two best ideas and you should be taking them in every campaign. The -10% development cost policy you get is just so vital to scaling better than the enemy. Also quantity is just the best military idea hands down. The only other one that can maybe try and rival it is defensive but even defensive is only good if you have enough manpower naturally.

Im a bit confused. I waited for my truce with france to end. I abdicated my ruler so the burgundian succession triggered and i chose to get PUd by france. But then i dont get my independece cb? Any reason why

While following this guide I got an identical general from champion of the joust!

Love you guides, wish I could play this game properly. Probably too impatient and always have cash problems

Hahaha Burgundy: insults 2 of the most powerful nations in the game. Burgundy's mission: Good job, you get 25% improve relations. Just thought this was funny.

My last run was for the Burgundy cheevos - This is similar to how I played. Crazy fun nation to play.

After resolving the Burgundian Inheritance, isn't it better to let the Imperial Incident about Burgundian Membership fire, and then for the Emperor to reject you by being their rival? I'm not sure if it's been updated but when it first came out the Emperor denying your membership gives Burgundy Personal Union/Subjugation CBs on all the Electors, and since four of them are Monarchies that's another way to give you four easy votes at the same time as massively boosting your power.

Your videos are very good. Keep doing this for us 👍

I'd Love to see a najd Guide by you!

I abdicated as Charles as soon as I got an heir of proper age and I had no truce with France, but I couldn't declare war with the independence cb. I just declared war with a conquest cb because I had permanent claims on them. I still broke the union and became independent, but I had to fight alone (which is not that difficult btw ).

Nice video as always dude 👍! btw what is your favourite part about the new update/dlc??

During my run, France happened to fall under a PU with Scotland, so instead of a French Junior Partner I could become a Castilian Junior partner

A follow up lotharingia guide would be cool

For me Burgundy is just strange. I always think why should i play them when i can get them for free. If you start as France for example and Burgundy didnt rival you, you ll most likely get all of Burgundy including stuff you did feed them as ally. No need to aquire tons of AE from eating into France but also no AE for getting all of Burgundy.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

And what about diplomatic annexation of all lowlands while forming Netherlands. As I remember it may be realised by forming Netherlands as subject of burgundy by event

After integrating your subjects, you should release Brabant and feed them another province in the low countries to get the event that allows them to become the Netherlands.

I think I declared too soon after asking for support because no one else was in my war with France but it was all for the best, I was lucky Castile or Austria didn’t rival me during the war and I was able to ally them right after.

Every time I watch your guides, I keep waiting for "But what do we do as Burgundy?"

Would love to see a Granada guide

I need help, after I get PU’d to France the independence stuff does not fire. What should i do? HRE already took the lowlands.

Burgundy is my favourite nation in eu4. It has a starting situation that is good without being boring and a really good mission tree.

soo.. came here for some info on the inheritance and it struck me that I did the start of my run different; I got castille, Austria and popeman as allies, but they weren't really interested in helping in the first war, however I did get the league of the public weal mission done before declaring and I solo'd france with a force limit + merc stack (had a bit of cash saved up) and with micro managing my vassals / PU's to make sure they didn't attack france's vassals (which was a pain). I will say that as long as the vassal don't bug out and actually start helping france in the war it's doable (it pretty much crashed my economy for a couple of years though) anyway; came here to see the recommendations after Marie is offered as heir as I haven't really played burgundy before; so time to watch on :D edit: so I started playing again; and within 10 minutes I got a PU over austria... this is going to be nuts once the inheritance actually triggers

the game just would not give me a break. the number of times I had to save scum getting the marie of loth achievement was ridiculous.

13:12 bro got Napoleon 300 years early

The red hawk you can make a video that shows us what mods you have

ah i remember my first 5 Siege guy... It was with Albania (on the patch where you still start at war agains the Ottomans) and got with him the perfect start for the Albania or Iberia Achievement. Crushing Hungary and Bosnia in the first 4 years and secure a Pu over France agains Poland.

Can't you release Gascony from La Marche as well? Don't need to take Limousin.

I've had charles die as an heir and skipped the Burgundian succession

Relations limit? What's that XD I always go over it, especially when I'm playing massive games like Spain and I have vassals in Africa or Indonesian, or maybe even France and Balkans because I don't want to core it all and deal with rebels and so I just annex them like thag

Lets try one more time burgundy and see if i can get the achievements

Do we inheriting all of vassals and PU if you stay Burgundian and Austrian don’t demand the Lolland ?

Can you do a guide on Orleans please?

Don’t need the guide but I still support you mate 👍

Days when the red hawk doesn’t upload:🤢 Days when the red hawk does upload:🥹

Any history geek here who knows why Burgundy is having a spanish flag?

What texture mod do you use?

I have a challenge for you (maybe for when you one day play Yokuts in A-Z?): starting as any North American Totemist, become a horde and form the totemist Mongol Empire what do think, does that sound like it could be a fun challenge?

27:58 you can just remove Amsterdam from the HRE. One province won't destroy relations with Austria

I diN't got the brugundian inheritange and its 1500 now I have no real Idea how to go on

Is it normal?common that during the war France and her allies were basically hunting my armies down maliciously..? I had 0 soldiers within a few months as I tried to avoid battles but they kept chasing me, making me unable to regroup with Castile, how annoying

This might have been different in that patch, but for the love all that is holy, do not state everything. You can always state it later. If you state the 800ish Dev with your 200ish cap, you will end up with L1 advisors costing 5 ducats / month, and have Luxemburg causing 116 AE

i dont know how you do it man, but i cant get even close to earning money as Burgundy. Its always -7 per month or so

Do a Lorraine->Lotharingia guide

I request lewa nation .... its in the middle East. Good video by the way and awesome guide.

Good guide but isn't the title misleading? At no point do you annex ALL of France instantly. There used to be a strategy that allowed this but as far as I know it is not possible in 1.33.

Could you not dismantle the HRE instead?

Not realistic there's no traditional Liege war against austria even tho they outnumber you 1 to 4 smh.

Duke dies a couple of days in the game wtf do I do now? Should I just continue the run or

I almost take the France's vassal but they choose independence war aganist France with Castile help after that I wait a couple month I take the Burgundian Succession event then I Fought aganist Castile for France :D it was very kaotic

how do u win against france? i am just at a lose there

If make Provence your vassal in that war against them, u will also get them on the burgundian event. xD ( Usually they get excomunication from the Pope and u dont have many AE )

I just started my Burgundy campaign and took the France option. Now I'm a junior partner under France with no truce but I don't have the independence CB, only regular conquest. The imperial incident is still active but I'm almost certain France will give back the lowlands if I wait. Can I get independence from a regular conquest war? Will being at war with France stop them from giving away the lowlands? Pls help.

I think the update changed, Burgundy now can't get an independence CB toward France

shouldn't burgundy start off as a subject of France? Historically speaking that's what they were iirc but I guess they'd have make a special subject type for them so it is fine as it is
