- If you're looking to conquer the world with France in EU4, then this video is for you! Today we complete our world conquest in EU4 -- the best historical strategy game on the market.
This video is Part 2. On request of Part 1 viewers, we go a little deeper into the revolutionary mechanics, ideas, and government reforms.
Part 1 is here: • Conquer the World with... - เกม
This is simply the best EU4 content. Your videos are art. I watch all the big EU4 youtubers, have been doing that for the last 8 or 9 years, and I must say, the quality you deliver exceeds them all by quite a large margin. I really like your voice and accent too, and I think it should be possible to turn off the subtitles (they are hardcoded now, I think). Keep the videos coming, please.
Thanks so much for this! I’m still experimenting with subtitles / sound, will get it right eventually :)
I understand not liking the option of not turning of subtitles but the way you keep them on the bottom is great and is not really a problem
@@chillindylan2696 👍
I love the subtitles thanks for adding
@@goalieyes thanks, that’s great to know!
I can't tell enough how well made your videos are: calm, focused and most important - cut in proper way, not hiding anything important from UI or map itself. Truly ultimate channel to learn more about late-game mechanics in such details. For ppl like me, with few hundreds of hours and rarely reaching 1650+ in most of campaigns such tutorials / playthroughs are a blast. Keep on good work! Cheers. Btw I'd accidently got a big blue blob achievement in 1480 or so recently and I'm thinking about WC as France already - really OP nation to play as!
Thanks a million 👍 and I agree, France is really powerful. It’s a pleasure to play.
Strategy Sphere: this is a no stress run
Rebels: ahaha, revolts go brrrrrr
Too true 😂 You’ve got to have high rebel tolerance to conquer the world!
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.
This is awesome advice, thank you! I’ve never done it, will try in the future :)
Thank you for making my first WC possible.
Due to the effort you put into everyone of these videos i have been able to learn a lot about the game and improve my game skills
Hope you keep up the good work
Thank you -- you made my day with this comment :) I'm happy I was able to help!
I love the concept of chill EU4, thank you for this
Haha thanks :)
Best EU4 content, as always. Just another amazing run. Whatever you do next, I'm excited to see it!
Thank you Paul! I’ve decided to do a Spain mission tree run next, since several people have requested it.
What a wonderful series! I really enjoyed watching this thank you so much. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
Thanks for your effort, great stuff. Probably not gonna play France before I finish my first Austria WC run, but your content is super cool. Keep it up. :)
Thanks a lot, and good luck with Austria :)
Amazing video! You have very quickly become my favourite EU4 content creator. It is so helpful that you explain things well and go through every step in a perfect amount of detail. You and your videos are amazing!
Thanks a lot, glad it’s working. I enjoy making these :)
I've been watching and playing eu4 since it came out and I have to say that your videos are incredible! You are my new favorite eu4 youtuber! Please keep making more videos!
Glad you like them! And thanks so much :)
honestly sir, part 1 & 2 are such a good watch, thanks?!!
I always struggle with world conquest, not the conquering but the coring and i think you unlocked that knowledge quite nicely. thx
Thanks so much, glad you found them useful :)
Waow, amazing content, great explanations of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, great job!
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it.
Ive always enjoyed the background music to your videos. I know the music is French themed here, but the jazz is always 👌
Thank you - jazz coming in the next video :)
As an intermediate player with similar ability as you, I love these videos. Your honesty is admirable. I hope you continue
I appreciate that! :) thanks a lot!
Awesome content, really like your videos. I discover you some weeks ago and now watch all your videos, I'm waiting for more. Great job and hope you get the subscribers you deserve, congratulations
Thanks much :)
Love your videos, man.
I appreciate it!
Thank you for making eu4 videos that go past the first 30 years of the game, there is so much more game to play! I’ve always struggled in the mid to late game to stay interested in the gameplay. Your videos have made that part of the game so much more enjoyable! Any chance we could see an Angevin HRE WC or a Spain WC? I find their missions to be super fun but have no idea how to transfer that into a WC. Thank you again for everything you’re doing! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yep, I was thinking about doing a full Angevin mission tree run. This might lead to a work conquest, or at least to a successful setup.
@@StrategySpheredoing the angevin wc right now its 1588 i am hre emperor 2 more reforms needed to revoke. Conquered most of africa now for TC purposes only portugal is a challenge now and perhaps russia (took novgorod just to late so he could form russia tech 10) if i revoke its gonna be to easy i guess ;)
Hope you are doing well, havent seen you post videos in a while. Just gonna say that I love your guides using them a lot
Thank you! This means a lot to me. I’m actually making a new video now :) I guess I’ll try to make shorter ones and post more frequently.
Very happy that this just dropped! Now I have something to do at work! Im sure you have done an excellent job Alex!
Glad to hear, and hope you enjoy it :)
@@StrategySphere I am curious, have you thought about giving The Angevin Kingdom a try?
Yep, I absolutely have -- it's in my list of things to do and upload.
@@StrategySphere That is fantastic! I can’t wait to see it!
@@StrategySphereI'd love to see that!
Love the details, love the gameplay
Thank you :)
Haven't seen you post in a while. Hope you and the fam are doing well. Always enjoy watching and rewatching your content
Thank you so much :) I will edit and post some videos soon. Have completed WCs as Byzantium, Dithmarchen and Provence. I need to get more efficient at editing!
good job. really enjoyed this France campaign : )
Thank you so much :)
Simply the best EU4 content on TH-cam. Can’t wait to watch this channel grow!
I appreciate it 👍
Thank you for this video, i always play max until the 1700s but from now on i will go for a wc run , I did not know u can annex 1,3k dvlpt delhi that easly lol. Great video keep them coming .subbed and liked
Haha yep, I have a new video coming where I reached 90%+ admin efficiency… you annex masses of land in one war and core at 1-2 admin per province.
Nice video!
Thanks a lot!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Its great that i find this channel
Glad you’re here! 👍
"Max Effect of Absolutism" doesn't increase the effect of absolutism you already have, it just increases the cap of absolutism from 100 to 100 + whatever number you have. In other words, it's useless when you have
Ahh, now I get it - thank you! I just couldn’t figure it out.
So happy my algorithm recommended the new vid!
Glad to hear it, and welcome aboard!
Looking forward to your next upload
Thanks :)
Love your WC guides man. Please make one with the Ottomans, particularly how to deal with the conditionals for a quick decadence resolution.
Thanks so much :) I’m taking a pause in making videos as I’m no longer unemployed, had to focus on work and studies!
Old video, but the reason that you couldn't trigger that mission at 53:44, is that they're asking for trade *value*, the number you were looking at is trade *power*.
As for declaratio Gallica, the mil hegemon mission: I feel like the best way to complete that mission is by getting a bunch of subjects in Germany - this passes the "has owner's culture" requirement onto them. The question of whether you'd even want to do that of course still remains - Eco hegemon also has some neat buffs, and is much easier to achieve.
Ah, yep, makes sense. I keep getting lost in the different modifiers. As for the mil hegemony mission - completely agree, it would have been a better way.
Oh man I was looking forward to this. Can't wait to watch it to death till your next one.
Thanks much 👍 more should be coming soon, just finishing my vacation tomorrow!
@@StrategySphereLovely video as always. You're tempting us all to go for WC runs. Keep it up man, see you in the next video. :)
@@rippy56 thanks much 👍
Hey @@StrategySphere, is the new video coming soon? Not to say I'm getting tired of rewatching your vids but I'm curious to see what you're cooking up. :)
your videos are awesome
Thank you :)
I have over 2k hours in this game and still learn something new every time I watch a streamer, EU4 is hands down my favorite strategy game of all time!
Same - I’m learning a ton from these comments, too!
great job!
Thank you :)
always good stuff. Everyone should try to hit one WC just because it does feel satisfying but after that the late game feels such a managing slug that you can only do it in like, 50 minute increments every few days just because of how much management there is.
Haha I agree! Took me a few months to get my first world conquest, but now they’re almost too easy :)
One small tip is that you should have waited a little longer to end the disaster. You could have gotten Robespierre and then Napoleon by event which is half the reason to go down this path (lol)! Oh and it could have saved you admin mana as doing so apparently ends the revolution disaster early anyway. Also, it might have been worth switching out of Catholic since you went the cult of reason path (as well as opposing the pope earlier which means you don't have to lose the great Catholic buffs from that tree.) It would be a hilarious bit of irony if you went Anglican. But protestant is good too.
All in all an excellent, informative and entertaining video for sure.
You're right. I actually wanted to wait to get those events, but lost control a bit. The revolution simply started and I didn't want to "crush" the game. And thanks :)
Very impressive!
👍🇫🇷
great!
Merci !
what a lovely channel
Thank you :)
Beautiful
👍🇫🇷
You can use shift click with macro builder on special forces to make 5 at once. Not as nice as a template, but better than clicking for every single one. Also works for adding cannons to stacks.
Also note that if you don't pick a parliament debate, the list updates every month. You can fish out any eligible debate every time a new one comes up (including chaining the same thing repeatedly). Quite useful for mass religious conversion games with religions that aren't great at it, or to re-up subject annexation repeatedly.
Most of the time, military hegemon is most helpful for WC because it reduces score cost. If you already have a lot of -score cost, economic is useful instead. Economic hegemon is incredible if you're doing half states, because you can get them down to 30% autonomy by default, or as low as 0% if you really invest in it (not worth IMO). Half states with town halls cost practically no governing capacity, so getting near-state value out of almost GC-free provinces is great. Being a half state spammer also lets you do tedious but effective things like easily embracing institutions at low cost, easy culture drift for occasional abuse of nationalism CB (or just to speed up coring in some culture groups), and of course easy TAG swapping for missions.
This is very helpful, thanks for sharing all this info!
If I’m not wrong you can recruit special units with shift so it’s 5x less clicks.
Great job on wc!
Thanks - I didn’t know, this is helpful 👍
Great video just finish it ! keep it up
Can we have some sneakpeak of the next video ?
Hi, and thanks! For the next one, I’m thinking of Core-Fu, Angevin or the Finish Line.
you are amazing! :) could you do Byz into Roman Empire on new patch?
Thanks! :) Doing one now, should be able to publish soon-ish.
16:40 you dont need to select the first option i actually pick the second option because it doesnt have the +2 national unrest, you lose aboslutism with the second option but you just need to have 65 absolutism after the 10 years when the disaster ends and than you get your +20 absolutism
Ah, really? The eventual outcome doesn’t depend on which option you choose? Good to know!
@@StrategySphere yeah the outcome just depends on how much absolutism you have when you end the disaster
@@Zdeno8525 perfect, thank you!
This may sound weird. But this is the first video I'm going to watch with your voice xdd. Have watched your every video at work where sound on the computer isnt allowed 😂
Haha hope it doesn't disappoint you! I'm starting to add subtitles for exactly the situations you've described...
No it didn't dissapoint you have a great voice! And yeah it is awesome that you have subtitles. The ones that TH-cam has automatically are not that great. Great video as always 💪
👍 thank you - I’m still learning, I’ll try making subtitles optional, for those who want them.
Haha i am in the exact same situation😂
Alex, your EU4 content is wildly entertaining and refreshing, I hope you return to making videos soon, you are very skilled at making these videos and in my opinion, this is how europa content should be done. Hope all is well
Thanks so much, I truly appreciate. I’ve been a bit busy now that I’m employed again, but will try to publish again.
@@StrategySphere best of luck with your job!
Thanks a million! Same to you!
Really waiting for a new video/guide to come out from you😂
Thank you! I’ll need to figure out how to do it, as I’m no longer unemployed… and each video takes 2 weeks of full time work… :)
Hope for the new vids, favorite EU4 TH-camr
Thanks so much :)
I can't wait on papal state conquest
It’s in the list :)
btw one tip i have is using shift when creating units, it creates 5 at a time :P
Boats also, and it spreads the creation across 5 provinces
easy
That's a great piece of advice, thank you! I didn't know that.
I was wondering if you could do a guide for Cotton Kandy and, more importantly, The Buddhists Strike Back achievements.
Will add to the list, thank you :)
So this is why we call it the Blue Planet!
Haha true blue! :)
Hey! Amazing as usual. Out of pure curiosity: how many languages do you speak?..
Thank you! Mostly English and Russian, used to be fluent in Chinese and Japanese, but forgetting them. Learning French now. Also I speak some Spanish…
This was amazing! How have I never heard of you before!!! Quick question what did you do with your territories everywhere early and late game did you make them trade companies? Or just a few ?
Hi, and thank you! I usually drop as many territories into trade companies as my gov cap would allow. This makes me a lot of money to buy court houses, add more to trade companies, and the cycle continues until I’m too rich to care.
Thanks! Seriously great videos. The increase in quality from your first videos a few months ago is great! Thanks for interacting with the chat too!
@@goalieyes thanks for noticing that :) they take a LOT of time to produce, so I appreciate the feedback.
As a French I see this video as an absolute win ans also VIVE LA FRANCE !!!
Merci ! Et allez les bleus, allez ! 🇫🇷
Do a Spain guide through Castille, but try to go for the emperorship whilst you play colonial for the FOREVER GOLDEN and SPAIN IS THE EMPEROR, I believe you would have to start with diplomatic ideas for such strat...
This sounds like a great idea for the next video, thank you!
Hello!
I love your content very much, I watched every single video!
I have a question which is not related to the game. Which program do you use for the subtitles? I see it is automatically generated because sometimes its not accurate. I am a content creator myself on a different platform and I would like to know how to auto-generate subtitles like yours. I've been adding them manually and its exhausting :(
Thanks in advance, and thanks for such great EU4 content!
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! :)
I use Première Pro for all editing including the subtitles. They do auto-generate, but they still require some editing.
Really nice video! What mods are you using?
Thanks so much :) I use “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam workshop.
Nice video, what mod do u use for graphics?
Hi! It’s “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam workshop.
Hello Alex what is this map mode you use that changes water etc .
thanks for the great guides i believe im close to my first WC .
Hi! Thanks, and hope the world conquest works!
The mod is “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam workshop.
First WC done , one tag by 1814 .
Thanks again for the great guides that helped me learn what to do really.
Looking forward for more videos from you , maybe some native American nation in the future plans ?
Do you have a favored army setup tailored to particular eras or time frames in the game? After watching your videos, I'm thinking I might be using too much artillery and not enough cavalry for certain dates
Hi! Yes, early on I like to use 2-4 cavalry per stack and just a little artillery. As of mid-game, I usually build 20-6-20 stacks which I merge and split as needed. This may vary due to national ideas, eg for Hordes I’d have more cavalry.
Hey, love your videos. Would you be interested in doing a Byzantium WC run?
Hey, yep, actually doing one now and well on track for a WC. I’m recording as I go, so may be able to convert it into a video eventually.
@@StrategySphereany news on this?
Yep, the WC as Byzantium is complete and recorded, now I just have to edit it. It’s in the queue.
What graphical mods do you use, and i'm sorry if that has been asked a lot, but your game looks beautiful.
Thanks much! I use Theatrum Orbis Terrarum from the Steam workshop.
Nice play.
What about sweden? maybe with norse religion?
Adding Sweden to my list. Not sure about the Norse though, isn’t it almost impossible to get?
Nicee 😮😮
Thank you :)
@@StrategySphere you are the best 🫡😌
i need moreee
Thanks! A bit busy now but hope to publish a Byz WC soon.
Did you had the Napoleon event?? I think I missed it in your video, because in my run I selected him, and I think I made a mistake with this election.....
Hmm I don’t think I got it this time. There were surprisingly few events after the Revolution.
Alex, we miss you, m8. When is the next upload?
Thanks much -- I'm no longer unemployed so need to figure out my schedule...
Hi SS. Will there be more videos anytime soon?
Hi! Yes, I’ll be making more. Doing Spain now.
These videos are full-time job effort and bring almost no money. I’m looking for a job and studying, so it takes all my time.
@StrategySphere Didn't mean to pressure you. Was just wondering if the channel was still alive. Keep doing what you're doing, and you will have lot of subscribers in no time.
@@henrikfrandsen6029 yep, still alive :)
How are you keeping your personal unions after you go rev?
Hi! You don’t lose them. You can even make new ones (via mission trees, like Holland).
Next time, instead of finishing in Hawaii, you should start there and do a Hawaii WC
I wonder if that's actually possible? Would need to look up if anyone's done it.
How do you get the nice map style?
Hi! It’s the “theatrum orbis terrarum” graphic mod, from the Steam workshop.
The "Kingdoms of Spain" mission is great, especially if you get Spain/Castile early, your subject in Iberia do not get claims, theu get cores, on ALL of Iberia. Im doing a France campaign right now and I accidentally got Castile as PU in 1470-90 ish. Aragon went republican so no Wedding, but now I can do reconquest cb on Portugal and Aragon. A little underwhelming at your point in the campaign though.
Yep, I realised how strong it would have been only after taking it :)
Good luck with your campaign! France is always fun.
whats the grpahics mod you use?
Hi! It's "eu4 theatrum orbis terrarum"
what mod do you use to get that map?
Hi! It’s “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam workshop.
good video. you made a funny mistake typing pissed out spanish allies rather than peaced out spanish allies but thank you.
Haha didn’t even notice! 😂 Thanks. I guess I pissed them out, too.
I wanted to know which mod do you use to make your map look like this ??
Hi! It’s “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam workshop.
is there anything extra? when i get the mod, it is bright white borders@@StrategySphere
@@xozyx1 hmm, no, I just have the base mod. Maybe there’s something with settings? I know it’s quite old, so may not always work correctly
who is creator on steam if you can see it? i see more than one mod with the name@@StrategySphere
So when you switch to a republic, you don’t lose your personal unions?
Yep, you keep them all. You can even make new ones via the mission tree (if you’re Holland, you can PU the UK) and if you have certain government types, like Milan I think.
Can you create clint states in different continents?
Yes - but only if you have a direct land connection. Otherwise, they’re not available.
54:20 This was trade POWER, not value, that you had shown there.
Oh, ok.
Um....you didnt get the catholic modifier from the wars of religion mission. Because you didnt have the wars of religion, you got the moderate modifer. Granted, max tolerence of heretics and heathens is still useful as it means you can more easily ignore rebellions in conquered lands especially when combined with seperatism reduction.
Yep, I agree. In another game I engaged into the religious wars and it was just too much. I avoided them this time.
26:58 don't google the seven years war XD
Yep, very true.
how you keep track with no heirs countries?
I set them as countries of interest, plus I always check that black icon on the top of the screen. But it’s not reliable, I just keep checking.
how is your map mod called?
Hi! It’s “theatrum orbis terrarum”.
where is new videos :(
Hi! Will post soon-ish! Started a new job and it’s been so busy…
Are you working on a new? I miss the content. :(
Thank you! I'm playing a slow Byzantium World conquest and recording it, but given how busy the work is these days, it may take a while.
@@StrategySphere I would say quality over quantity is best. Can't wait to see it.
Anyone know the workshop mod for this map? Looks nice
Hi, yep - it’s “theatrum orbis terrarum.”
@@StrategySphere thanks, awesome videos btw!
Mughals World conquest pls
Will think about it! :)
I'm always enjoying watching your vids :)
th-cam.com/video/1YyJIwS3nLk/w-d-xo.html: I thought so too, but if you haven't had the disaster you do not get the top option but the bottom one because you circumvented it!
Very helpful, thank you. Got it now :)
for the trade, you had 1400 trade power, not value
Yep, I did get confused there :)
You had trade power, not trade value. Trade value is how much money is in the node
Also the monarch skill modifier modifies future ruler, not your current ruler
Very helpful, thank you! 👍
why you do not give privilege supremacy over sth to the nobility?
Hi! I sometimes take it, this time my nobility had way too much influence, so I skipped it.
Найс братишка
Благодарю 👍
Great video!
Thank you :)
