i haven't tried one of these runs in a few months am not sure i could still even do it lol

France pretty much have unlimited manpower from the start with how high it is and modifiers you can get like increased levis, defender of faith etc as for rebels you will be surprised how little rebels spawn when you conqueror true faith provinces while stacking tolerance of the true faith and national unrest aswell as highering autonomy in all newly conquered provinces

@De-Valois thank you for answering, well I think what you wrote is helpfull especially increasing atunomy, it is already 90 so you are already getting nothing almost. Well played..

am not sure on vanilla mp meta but it also depends on your diplo with players around if u can get colonial ideas or focus on army quality and dev cost reduction

no only grasslands

i have save files on all my runs in discord so they can be checked by things like skandenburg for cheating and if u follow the strat of stacking -ae with France you will see the power of it (take espionage instead of diplo if your struggling with the ae)

@@De-Valois im curious, discord link ?

@@balduccioliv link in video description

@@De-Valois france.eu4 from 24/02/24 ?

@@balduccioliv yes

because i was only expanding in my own religion you can avoid most of the rebels by stacking tolerance of true faith, national unrest and higering autonomy. with these 3 things you will be surprised how little rebels were spawning this run overextension is kind of irrelevant as it only really costs extra money from corruption and extra manpower from rebels which France doesn't have a problem with either

thanks man, the 1,36 mission trees in that area are to strong when combined together

@@De-Valois how did u defeat the ottomans that easy tho? thats always my problem when playing

@@emilholdgaard1652 ally Albania they have good fort defense and ottomans will always siege them first with good rng or if u build enough ships to barrage and assaults (with a merc stack) you can get the forts on the other side of the strait bad rng you block the strait and just siege down Anatolia and peace out for less 1st war both ways you can avoid any battles which save manpower to keep expanding after

@@De-Valois ah okay. thank you for responding man. im gonna keep watching your videos. they are amazing man. keep up the good work

have to move your capital to the Tripoli state as well

this run was acutely very chill for overextension as when you take the mandate of heaven you get cores on china proveniences from occupying them but in general province of your own religion can be usually negated by stacking unrest and tolerance of true faith and using higher autonomy which depending on the nation and how well u can stack the modifiers and then other religions you pretty much just have to fight rebels which can be done more efficient in certain circumstances such as putting vassals on supportive and attaching them to a 1k stack to fight rebels or calling a big ally into a small war so they end up just hunting your rebels or movement trick your ally that your moving to fight and reset the movement in pause and they will usually make their way over to you and take the battle, little things like this can help with manpower especially earlier on but are not always options available edit: the way i look at overextension is it =corruption which =money and it =rebels which =manpower+ annoyance edit on edit: also remember rebels take 5 years to enforce demands and cant break your country when at war so you can ignore rebels for alot of time and can use 1 stack to manage alot of land while rest of army is fighting wars

thanks and yes i do plan to start making videos again but probably in a few weeks i will start regularly uploading again

depending on the size of natives you will get more tradition per battle and also how frequent they spawn helps but it also not super op and is more meant for maintaining your army tradition even tho it can be used to reach 100

i pretty much had truce timers, allied or they were fighting with pretty much ever big European nation their is a way you can cheese it threw stacking -ae modifiers but i didn't use that this run

neither did paradox

when you conqueror land and state it that counts so no you don't need low autonomy in your main land you also don't need to sit under 0 stab to get it to trigger you can build it up threw overextension unless you play passive in single player i don't know where your getting spare admin to spend on stab instead of expansion but that's a different conversation prestige is literally free in single player so idk why u even mention prestige as i said in the video if you time it right you can end the event instantly for 200 mil am also not saying this is something you should be trying to go for but if you end up with low legitimacy threw leader or events then yes you should fire the disaster instead of avoiding it

I do not exaclly know how u can littelary get this 30% autonomy average with just conquering stuff, like you need to have 30% autonomy on all of your Stated core development. You need to destate most of your country, or be opm then conquer more Dev than Ur Stated core dev just to trigger it. I really dont know how u can do it with just conq, core, state core and that Alone is very hard bc its 50% autonomy instant. And if u dont wanna destate than u cannot take that much dev bc of warscore cost. And its just to trigger it

well say you start as a big nation say 400 dev if you conquest 400 dev and half state it your average would be 25% assuming your 400 is 0% and the other 400 is 50% so yeah with half states its not hard to get to 30% ( i cba doing exact math's for 30% but having a bit more half stated than full stated would cause this)

hold down shift when you move

@@De-Valois to add on that, holding shift while moving units basicly allows you to choose the path your units will take

Bully SEA islands

For naval tradition, if you use your whole fleet force limit to protect trade or privateer, you gain 2 naval tradition annually. Blockades on ports give naval tradition. Revealing terra incognita sea zones gives +1 nav trad per province. Finally, battles give an amount of naval tradition that is proportional to the naval casualties inflicted on the enemy nation, but it takes also in account the difference between the enemy max naval force limit and yours. So it's stronger when you have a small naval force limit. Finally, having high innovativeness and level3 coastal CoT gives you a reduction to the annual naval tradition decay.

fight natives to get and maintain army tradition, if your not going to war

​@@De-Valois а откуда берутся эти туземцы?

any province you can colonize

​@@De-Valois понял

платон диалоги

your feelings might be correct but i took tall ideas so i might not as its not really a blobbing run

@@De-Valois maybe we'll get to see you break people in mp

no am the one who's broken XD, i will most likely do a vid on it but one vid for the full session so will most likely be in a few weeks or when i get completely destroyed

if you aggressively expand you don't have spare admin point to use on stab and can use this event with things like truce breaks etc and as for hassle, its easy to trigger

That’s easily 600+ admin points equivalent right there

Nobody hear about stab cost or what? If you really just conquer a lot , u no need more then -2 stab at all with all these truce breaking thingy, and you easily can do -50-60% without any shenanigans , so actually all you need is something around 40 adm. So no man , that didn't good. Never fall into disaster by any means , it's not good , sp or mp , didn't matter.

@@zagsarraykland6291 i wouldn't set out from the start to trigger the disaster but if you end up low legitimacy threw event leader etc, then timing this disaster to instantly end for 200 mil for 3 stab is something i will be doing

@@De-Valois like u need to have broken country with 30% average autonomy just to trigger it xD u have to littelary manage your autonomy badly. It have 0 use in normal gameplay.

nice was not aware of that

Pretty sure pretender stats are a lie explicitly to prevent this cheese. They just made the pretender reroll their stats when they get the throne. Unless this is somehow different during the Civil War, you'd have to go to an old patch for this to work.

am gonna be trying to get more frequent uploads up, i wont manage every day tho XD

@@De-Valois just joking bro, make sure youtube doesnt takeover your life and focus on yourself. God bless you <3☦

God bless you to

thanks, and bear in mind atm i suck at MP so it will be a montage of me getting humbled XD

@@De-Valois dw bro u might suck now but u will get better also the more u get inted the better u will be and as a heads up never play with vanilla as its just bad for mp and also mods dont really change the learning process and the best mod to play mp in rn is bastard mod

I also have a discord server where i and some other players play we have some high skilled people so u can learn too if anybody wants to join

I am one of the higer skilled players btw

@@dukigaming7286 yeah my first game was on bast mod in a habibi lobby but its not gone well at all XD and yeah i may join what days do you play on usually

yeah someone else mentioned the same, i wasn't aware or i defo would of went humanist

Totally agree

yeah i wasn't aware at the time but in the future i will betaking humanist
