My favorite formable nation is the commonwealth. Calvary power, decent expansion routes, and in the early game the ability to cripple Scandinavia or Russia.

GERMANY!!!

Great video, but I think the Mongol Empire is coming out with 1.27 on Monday, so perhaps waiting a couple more days could've be worth it.

Are the Mongol Empire ideas anywhere online? I saw the Ilkhanate's ideas which weren't that impressive, if the Mongol Empire is an end tag I''m sure they will be strong!

Golden Horde, Japan, Commonwealth ❤️

Too bad they have generic national ideas - shameful display! Seriously, Paradox, Iceland needs ideas!

NO ITS SCANDANAVIA ALL THE WAY!!

unless ai vassal gets his absolutism high you will not profit from his admin efficiency, and ai is terrible at getting absolutism especially if they are a vassal, so no, making a vassal and feeding that vassal as mughals is unnecessary, who needs vassals when you have 80% ccr

You gain the 10 admin efficiency yourself by releasing that specific vassal, which is why you do it. Feeding it is just an optional bonus.

@dag natten could you please explain this to me? how do you get 10 admin efficiency by doing this?

mission

you gain 10 admin efficency that way? i will check this today

True

They can become HRE too.

I absolutely agree. They did that with Italian ideas. Nations that start with generic Italian ideas can form Italy and get their really nice Italian idea set for the Italian nation

Yes HRE, it is very hard know, because of the religous wars, I spend full 100 years on just getting rid of the protestant and reformed religions, with 0 EA.

"Same thing with the Holy Roman Empire if you manage to unite it. You should get a unique idea set at least :/" The united Holy Roman Empire could have some crazy powerful ideas and still wouldn't be great as you lose the OP vassal swarm and you also lose the benefit of the reforms if I remember correctly

Maybe they could let you decide between keeping your old ideas + vassal swarm and reforms or losing the vassals, the reforms and your old ideas for really strong ideas and a unique government type (maybe with some unique casus belli or something like that).

Same! I thought about the Prussian idea set for a united Germany aswell (because historically Prussia united Germany). But I would change them a bit and take away some military ideas in favour for diplomatic or economic ideas. I would keep the discipline and the manpower + either the morale or the infantry combat ability (maybe tune them both down a litte to 10% or 15%) and then give them improved relation/diplomatic reputation and goods produced/production efficiency. Maybe even AE reduction, but all in all it would be a bit too strong I think^^

And now Qing should easily be in the top 10 or even top 5 due to buffed ideas AND the op Mission set that gives cores on 2/3 of China if pulled off correctly. Even with nerfed Banners they are stupidly strong - Yuan only being better because they can Keep their Horde Status. Feels Pretty weird that old manchu wasnt in the list tho - when even Deccan was in there. Thinking About it - why the fuck was Deccan even in there? It should be Hindustan/Bharat - he explained it in the vid anyway, Deccan shouldnt be more than an honorable Mention (at best)

I'm fairly sure they could do that since they already have "fictional" formable nations like Scandinavia. IIRC "Scandinavia" as a political entity never existed outside of the Kalmar union led by Denmark - so there is in game precedent presumably!

I always God damn ask. Why can I form Roman Empire but I cant form Old Egyptian Empire? Or why we have norse religion in game but there is no way of getting it.

@@maden4039 its a bit ironic have the option to do a costum country with "ancient egipt" culture, but at the same time there inst a formable country called "ancient egypth" Same with babylonials, espartans, athenians and the others If you are going tp introduce old culture, the why not introduce formable countrys for that culture? Or mechanics for them at least

@@alanetchetto8908 not ironic. Sad. I want something interesting instead of countries I saw 100 Times in history books.

@@maden4039 i said ironic because... you know, program is usually Hard and demand time. Then i see thing like that and i only can imagine a team of programers doing that while think "man, this is so useless, this have 0 mechanics and the only thing that is going to do is carry a lot of alternative history fans claming it have something"(? But, yeah, its kind of sad. Like i want a galic empire, visigod kingdom, neo-neobabylonian empire or even the macedonic empire (i really hate do the macedonian empire with tje "custom nation" thing and constantly see "form geece!!" In the misions) (Sorry for my terrible english btw)

Scandinavia's red yellow flag triggers me. Map color is great though!

Did You see SCOTLAND??

It's fucking impossible to form and it's shit

@@andreasfiltenborg4952 it's really easy to form but it takes a long while you have to wait for adm tech 20. Who the f has that time to wait around?

Scandinavia is useless to form, if you form it you give up on the Swedish events you get in the future.

AlzaboHD Greatings from Poland.

Thank you so much for the kind words! More spoken videos are on the way so stay tuned, comments like yours are what keeps me going!

Haha yeah it was a preset date where they start with a losing war against GB, rip

Mandate can definitely be a double edged sword. I wonder if you can form Yuan and drop the mandate by having someone declare a Take Mandate CB on you. Maybe disband all of your armies and de-tributary your neighbors and wait? Yuan without mandate would be an insane nation!

it would be pretty damn annoying. Only real advantage of mandate of heaven is the unite china cb, for the rest it's a disadvantage. Many ai nations would just do a regular war which would cripple you before somebody would declare a mandate cb.

Remove Talos Ming doesn't need a lot to break down. I played as Manchu and got them the Unguarded Nomad Frontier and they melted after a few wars since the penalties to their armies made them paper for my cav.

Remove Talos but Ming is not supposed to be easy. They were by far the most developed nation in the world at the time of EU4’s start. Ming had a higher population than the entire Europe (can’t remember exact dates, but around 1450 as well). We are talking about millions of soldiers. And you want it to be easy for irrelevant nations to conquer them? Ming had problems with some of the Vietnamese nations, but they were no where near being able to be an actual threat to Ming.

Remove Talos I’m sorry, I think I missed your main point, it’s early (at least in my part of the world) still sleepy. yeah Ming should have some seriously bad events, destroying their stability. Natural disasters really screwed Ming over back in time. I should probably mention now, I don’t play that much Ming myself so I don’t know if they have events like this, but from the looks of how almost every ai Ming survives, the events should be tougher.

I hope PDX revamps Iceland too!

Hahaha, yeah that too...

I’m new to eu4 what’s wrong with red yellow flag?

I bet the paradox CEO is from Skåne it reminds of their flag.

The Kalmar Union was the personal union under Denmark. It wasn't the "Empire" of Scandinavia per se. But I see your point :) But Scandinavia _REALLY_ needs some ideas and missions... Otherwise it's actually detrimental to form SCA...

The UN dynasty has a nice ring to it, though, doesn't it?

Wait what do you mean if it gets conquered by Horde? Can you tell me more about this exploit?

+Edim 108

@@rokass.5430 After the Dharma expansion and the Reform Mechanics once a country (in this case Poland) gets fully annexed by a Horde or a Tribal (Great Horde, Crimea, Circassia, etc.) and gets released as a Subject, it gets the form of government of its overlord, which in that case is Tribal (if conquered by a Tribal Nation) or Horde (if conquered by a Horde). This lets you make any nation in EU4 any form of government you want, as long as the nation in question is conquered by another, with the Government you want. You can have for example a Horde Ming, or an Iqta Papal State (if its lands are Muslim) etc. With Poland and Horde Government, you can have 100% Cavalry armies, which is... just not OK for anyone else, because Poland has the highest Cavalry Combat Ability in the Game, Cavalry Cost Reduction, Morale, Discipline and Manpower all in its National Ideas, which combined with Horde Bonuses to combat ability on Plains, Farmlands and Steppe and Reforms that grant you even more manpower, core creation cost reduction, and other bonuses from reforms. Siu-King actually made a series where he conquers Poland as Manchu and then Plays as Horde Poland and does the World Conquest.

It's a mystery to me, too. Nvidia shadowplay is a pretty awful recording program but it gives me more or less 60 fps on my laptop so I'm stuck with it. If you have any suggestions for recorders that don't tank FPS like fraps or (potentially) OBS I'd love to know.

How is it not? Sounds Italian, looks Italian, made with Italian products.

Well, often by the time you take Siberia and pull out all these nomads out of there, you already have at least a half of Lithuania and Caucasus and actually Moscow is deep inside in your country and secured enough. Forming Russia I switch the capital to St. Petersburg to get some development there for the fleet and then switch it back to Moscow.

Im impressed the AI formed the Mughals in your campaign!

So this is uncommon in your campaigns? OK. I guess I just got unlucky, having to play against Ottoman+.

@@SangoProductions213 the same by me, very seldom, but I always ask myself, WHY ARE THE MAMELUKS NOT FORMING EGYPT?!!!! WHY. Also which country did you play with?

@@axelmuller7946 Neo-Mongolia.

Haha yeah, it was massive. I wasn't actually playing NL - that timeline footage was from my Dharma AI timelapse video. Prussia became massive and was even Orthodox to boot!

The trick is to take only the required provinces, ally france spain and PLC and start a coalition war before it gets to big I am currently in a florence - otlay campagain and faught 2 coalition before forming italy

On top of what Hussnain has already said I'd also recommend biting only into central and southern Italy at the game start - definitely wait until the shadow kingdom triggers and north italy leaves the HRE before annexing them. Otherwise you get aggressive expansion with all of the princes and emperor of the HRE
