วีดีโอ

I just had a run with Bohemia -> Croatia -> Prussia -> Great Moravia -> Germany and I found something interesting. I kept my mission tree forming croatia and the croatian one got added to it. I happened again when forming Prussia. It got a little bit weird forming Germany, some missions were still visible. Also I could revoke the prussian government 1 reform without switching religion or anything. I kept the Moravian Ideas (+15 max Effect of Absolutism) and thought you might be interested in that. Don't know how the mission tree "evolves" when forming Sardinia-Piedmont or other countries.

Hi, Could you please link the mods you are playing. there are so many pfiles Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and the ones I find say they dont work. Thank you

WOW THIS IS THE BEST EU4 CHANNEL EVER, subbed broski!

астрия вил южали алай ас авыхъзавыъхз норм сказанул

It doest count the achivment this way, I've just finished wc with Qing and nothing happened

Do you think changing to High American would bring any benefits to these Ryukyu runs? I just did so in 1530 and I'm considering conquering China like you did in this video, but I feel like I've wasted a lot of years just to get the Aztecs MT. Also considering staying Ryukyu and making use of the Sunset Colonies.

which mods are you running for the visuals? ty

Your channel is amazing, great production and content! Would you do a Portugal WC and staying as that tag, curious how you would go about doing this :)

I was at war with Byz, occupying Morea when they flipped to the Latin Empire and Poland joined the war? I've never seen that event fire in 2k hours played lol

how can I change UI to yours, the style is amazing.

what modpack are you using for graphics? :)

Great video from the Suisse voisine... As a side note, if you manage to get a PU as Burgundy outside of the France region (I got a lucky Bohemia PU once, due to their Hussite events that mess up their dynasty), you only keep it if you go for the Marie option in the inheritance. Otherwise, the personal union will be given to France similarly to how Castile PUs Navarra and sometimes Naples alongside Aragon in the Iberian wedding

" Mulacca spices things up a bit "

How exactly does moving the capital to the americas work? How is it done, and why? There isnt much clear info out there

so interesting, thank you for sharing this content !!

Just want to make sure you know that your musical choices were appreciated. Though for this playthrough the lyrics would have to change - "Not Istanbul, it's Constantinople..."

Is this played in normal difficulty?

It is meant to spawn early institutions in Asia to keep it exactly 1 tech levels behind Europe at all times for AI, to prevent the Middle East and Hordes steamrolling over it. Problem is, the AI is dumb and often doesn't do the necessary steps to activate it and the few times it does, renaissance stalls at 30%. Meanwhile the institutions spawner in the horn of Africa which is designed to keep Etheopia and surrounding Muslim princedoms as well as Arabia up to date with Europe to stop the Mamluks steamrolling them too is however AI dumb proof, so long as Etheopia doesn't smash it, which it does 40% of runs.

Hello Alex, great video once again. Are you considering any Ternate or Tidor world conquest run?

When the Burgundian Inheritance fires, you inherit all your subjects within the French region and within the Holy Roman Empire. So if you can manage to revoke the privilegia before that, which should be possible by vassalizing three electors and then excessively religion-switching between Catholic and Orthodox (would require a No-CB war on Byzantium early on to get those orthodox provinces you need) and constant leaving and rejoining the Empire, then you could be even more of a blob after the inheritance. Also, if you can time Charles' death while you are in a war with France with enough warscore to vassalize France, you can wait for the Inheritance to fire, and before you click on the French option, peace out France with the vassalization option. That way, when you then decide to become France's subject, you will immediately integrate Fracne along with your other subjects and thus save yourself the unnecessary independence war (and the risk of a game over by France simply clicking the "Duchess of Burgundy" Mission in their mission tree.

Just a heads up, the next major patch will be updating the Holland Mission Tree, the Burgundian Mission Tree and the Mission Trees of Middle East Minors. All of which will impact the ability to attempt to follow this playthrough point to point. Holland and other Frisian minors will now become extremely rebellious after the Burgundian Succession once the Reformation starts, guaranting the creation of the Netherlands should the territories remain in AI contol, also will make it a pain for the player if not dealt with quickly. Also, the Turkic and Persian minors will be more of a threat now as their missions will now result in the region being more turbulent, no longer will they be gobbled up by AQ and QQ, it also means you'll likely have to contend with a Mamluks with strong allies as opposed to Mamluks with more territories.

Great video ! Is there any chance you still have the save file ? I would like to see the timelapse (specially how did you conquer the world !) Thanks !

Start as Timurids and form Mughals?

Why does France lose their Territory back to England? 😅

Ah you live in France? My condolences my friend. To the you've got access to an escape hatch though 😉

are you seriously complaining about the rebel amount while you are sitting on a smooth 14.5 war exhaustion?

I just love this channel. Every new video is a gift.

Wanted to do a similar strategy, but I'll probably fail. Being slightly perfectionist, I decided to conquer more land to do more tag switches (from England, Prussia, Spain, Sardinia, Two sicilies add Austria, Croatia, Tuscany, Netherlands, Scotand, Poland, Switzerland, Ireland, hansa at least). In order to achieve this, the mana would not be an issue as the mission trees give way enough. However I really wanted to get more land to be able to click more missions, which bring me to ~1750 with all of Europe Burgundian. Fairly certain I can rush and finish WC but will fail with the One faith and one culture I planned. All of it was delayed as I didn't have access to the OP modifiers of the tag switches for about 30 years. Also I forgot to delete spain early and it escaped as a few islands, might go as France or Scandinavia instead. Nevetheless a fun run, thanks for the idea!

Another common way to deal with the reversal is to go after your claims in Naples. If you can complete the war with Epirus before Alfonso dies, you can move your troops to Rome (typically allying the Pope for your mission) and take your claims. All of these get you up to 92 development or so. This greatly reduces the amount of development you have to do at the beginning, gives you a 60 tradition admiral to fight the Ottomans, and gets the land before they get PU'd by Castille/Aragon/France. It's also worth noting that you can remove the debuff to your ship building time by getting Venice/Genoa to 50 relations.

This is so far beyond my abilities....very impressed.

what is this fort in the begining of video?

Man I don't think Burgundy would have been protestant, quite the opposite in fact, they were heavy defenders of the catholic faith

lol nice

I fondly remember my Bosia game :)

0:43 Ugh, pass. Calvinists, nothing but trouble.

love the video

I've really been enjoying your videos. A random thing I've noticed in my games is that usually, you can charter company Bangkok from Ayutthaya fairly often, and usually surprisingly early as well. Doing this gives you the monument which gives yearly absolutism, governing capacity and aggressive expansion reduction all in one, with vassal force limit contribution as a little bonus as well. Even at rank one, it still gives an extra 5% governing capacity, which can still help a bit. I highly recommend it, as the AI doesn't seem to care too much about the province because it isn't a center of trade, so you can usually get it fairly cheaply, and having the monument helps a lot for expansion.

You were lucky at the begging... I tried it few times, but Byzantin is sitting with his 14k troops Mesambria (all the time from my 11 tries)

Господи, какой ужас!

One thing, around minute 15 the music is a tad loud. Otherwise very fine so far! <3

The music ... :D

Oh, I started with EU 2 An old person like meeee! <3

I like the old "let's lay" formula. I don't suggest to "only" do that, but 30 minutes videos, just the entire gameplay, with comments or without are highly interesting to me. It's what i did years back, a lot of EU4 as well. Never on your levels but it's like I learnt english. Still, great stuff from you :)

My first WC was with Castile start and tag switch for admin efficiency and war cost reduce, like this but i stay Catholic, is easier than classic Mughals, Oirats or Ottomans.

Fantastic video as always! You're campaigns are always so well recorded and I love the way you approach the game in a laid back way.Has definitely inspired me to try a WC on my own. Would love to see a great Britain run, could be for whatever goal you find fun!

28:20 wouldn't it be a good thing? Always loyal PU with no diplo slot that gives you permanent bonuses.
