"The seed is strong" 💀☠️⚰️

the biggest decision as netherlands is to choose colonies or development. since i choose the latter, i go aristocratic first, then economic, infrastructure, plutocratic (go for dutch republic, after getting plutocratic, which can be taken as either second, third or fourth idea) and then manually going for stadholder monarchy (first goverment reform) and you get oranje dynasty. then take defensive as your fifth idea, get the seven provinces and voila, you can develop a nation that is capable of just stealing other nation's colonies (which is what i do, with the bonus being the since as netherlands most colonial nations around you don't fight each other because ai is stacking against you, you usually have england, france, portugal and castile/spain building an armada of colonies, colonizing the entire americas by 1600s, which you can now just take (and also spend 93.34% of your money on hiring mercs to put down space rebels since their numbers can't come from earth)). choose to get +1 adm policies, and choose all 4 adm policies (2x for money, gov cap and autonomy debuff which helps if you expand beyond low countries, and dev in primary culture from def policy) final note from me is that while you are a republic, restart until england becomes anglican, so you can convert. so now you get a bunch of income because of economic ideas from policies, dev policy from def ideas, dev from aristocratic, plutocratic and infrastructure ideas, dev from anglican which is more than from protestant, but with high religious unity you get enough money from anglican interactions. the only downside from anglican is that you can't have consorts so no extra dev points from divorces (though if you remain a feudal goverment, you can do that, it's just not gonna feel right from rp perspective).

Just checking... in the past the Dutch Republic could get the PU if the orangists were in power. Is that no longer the case?

Please make part 2 and part 3 and however long it may take you to reach the end date bro 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dutch republic can get the PU the orangeists work like a monarchy

1:08 Brabant: keigoeie uitspraak jonguh, great reference to the East German car 😎 and I guess the capital city of Friesland is Mayonnaise City 😋

More Netherlands please!

I have seen Lan Fang as an AI nation in my current campaign 🥳

I lose my PU on England the second elections are held and a new leader is voted in every 5 years

Would love to see the follow up!

The Dutch have always been one of my favorite nations to play as, I really need to do something like this myself some time soon since the DLC released!

Dutch Republics can PU other nations.

4:10 Can anybody tell me, why only +1 adm and not all +1 mana privileges?

There is a reason we're the richest church.

Its a pretty bad Holland guide lol, its just way easier to be released in peace, just ally a shit ton of strong nations, after you are released you can royal marry burgundy, after that getting the burgundy inheritance is quite easy, expansion & explo is a bit scuffed, but I guess it depends if you play with the no repeated class ideas

This guide doesn't work on Very Hard difficulty

Just finish this pls

One of my favorite campaigns was 1066 Duke of Barcelona to Roman Empire. I was able to hybridize Catalonian with Italian and Greek culture over the course of 100 years to create a “frankenroman” culture as I was working on uniting the empire. Nobody ever converted to my culture tho :(

I'm sure your pronunciation of Gelre could not have been worse than your pronunciation of Friesland...

brother, either you open your mouth when talking into the mic or you need to adjust you mic volume, I cannot hear shit what youre saying

> "sentient" lizards Are you talking about Argonians? Because they are more like farm equipment

But can you play as everyone's favourite immortal Ash-Vampire?

dude i tried a couple of times but i can't get rid of coalitions it's 1485 and i dont even have half of the requisites provinces to form netherlands.

I'd really enjoy seeing more of this!

Meer dutch

please tell me you can make the english speak an actual germanic language now

Some interesting characters I know of at the top of my head in the 1066 start date: Hassan i-Sabbah: An unlanded courtier who would go down in real history as the founder of the Hashshashins, or the Order of Assassins, which is where we get the term "Assassin" from. Ingevald af Bjelbo: Also an unlanded courtier. Is the only and first character of the House of Bjelbo in the game, the dynasty of which would later produce several Swedish rulers & kings, including Birger Jarl, who is considered the "founder of Sweden". Sven Kolsson Sverker: The Duke of Östergötland in Sweden at the 1066 start date. Although a catholic, in "real history" Sven Kolsson would go down as "Blot-Sven" or "Blot-Sweyn", referring to the fact that he continued the pagan tradition of the riksblot which his predecessor and successor had refused. He was also, according to some sources, the ancestor to the later Swedish royal houses of Sverker & Eric.

9:01 you could also try allying the emperor, the ai never demands imperial territory from its allies:)

Why take a province in Ireland if you PU england and integrate via decision?

"random ruler" is quite wrong it's based on a date you declare independence

Definitively the best French prononciation among all EU4 content creators.

With the dutch naval doctrine, the estate privilege and a range advisor you can reach Greenland if you take exploration first. Imo there is so much ae in the lowlands that you can greed the new world and block other catholic colonizers while waiting for coalitions to clear up, and imo infrastructure ideas first don’t do much early just because there really isnt that much to build yet.

I feel like youre violating me with your voice

Continue it

I can't do this without getting massive coalitions

BREDA❤❤❤

part 2 pls

Any chance we will see a Ming guide? I am having trouble finding any, and it's one of the campaign i'm really struggling with for some reason.

PLEASE CONTINUE PLAYING!!!

With such a seductive voice in the background i simply cant concentrate

Does anyone know how late 1.37 releases i cant find it anywhere

i accidentally kept doing this when i was doing an Egyptian Kemetic mod game and I didn't realize divine marriage was one of my tenants I had married 3 of my daughters and a granddaughter.

Dutch ie is like an English ee(as well as the Russian "и" and Ukrainian "і" just as a fun fact). Exanple would be vriezer which is a freezer. (With the Dutch F being like a V).

WE TAKING INDONESIA WITH THIS ONE

If you manage to ally the HRE emperor you generally dont get the demand to return unlawful empire territory, making the process of conquering all low country provinces a lot less annoying.

more!!

More Nederlands!

That Naval doctrine is pretty lame compared to other unique ones. 25% colonial range might be the difference that allows you to reach some colonial territory once early on. After that it's useless.

"Obtain the World Cup-ermWorld Conquest as Croatia" That joke caught me off guard
