20 political power isn't a lot
How tf was this comment made 2 days ago when the video came out 3 hours ago
Hey Ludi i have been watching your channel for a while and I would like to please see a mikmaq native campaign
Where did you put the save file Ludi?
A true Byzantine enjoyer I see. Now we gotta see the Roman Empire
Hell yeah, got 5 videos already recorded for this run, so let's see when we hit the like goal xD
Yes
Let’s see Paul Allen’s Roman empire
How did you comment at both videos at the same time
2 hours and you got 4.1K already, Romanian Emperor. The people seem to want you to restore the world! @@LudietHistoria
Ah yes, the Rule 1444: If a patch exists, there's a Byzantium guide for it.
it's the law
Paradox: Let's make an impossible start for Byzantium this time.
Ludi: Let's set a new record for crushing the Ottomans in a Byzantium start.
yup, but to be fair they kinda helped me a lot, since they gave me the -50% merc cost and 5% discipline, that was pretty crucial, plus the imperial guard DO NOT TAKE UP LAND FORCELIMIT !!!! That means I paid basically nothing for the entire army xD
Well it is more of a case of Paradox wanting us to play Byzantium a certain way and use political and financial manoeuvrings to mitigate entrenched policies at that time period. Basically, you have to do what all good Emperors do when their government stands in their way - diplomacy and $$$.
@@foxdavion6865 bsically, you pull all the same tricks you always pull at the start when playing small nations: go over forcelimit spamming mercs and throw money at the problem that you then take back from winning the war. There's nothing inherently new or challenging about it. Only more frustration bc of some bullshit modifiers. Paradox confuses relying on RNG with difficulty.
@@thomasmann4536 Very true, but the devs want us to jump through hoops in this case, adding extra steps to fane gameplay. On the bright side, least 40% cost reduction means you can hire expensive good ones and not force you to take so many lones it takes 50 years to pay them all off.
Does it work on very hard? Most of these dont work on hard and very hard levels. You have to reatart many times to get a decent start.
If you trucebreak ottobros, it's better to not take Edirne in the first war. AI priorities 1) the same continent and region, 2) the same religion, 3) the same culture, 4) the opinion. If turkish capital stays in Europe, the game consider Ottos to be European country and in 1440-50-s there are no other muslim nation in Europe (except Granada but it will be dead in few years).
So the AI against turks will be so small that your can truce break them three times and annex all of Greece, Bulgaria and Asia Minor. All ya need for that is just to leave Edirne as otto's capital (but sometimes II is smart and change its capital to Anatolia).
That's actually a really good point, let's get your comment some likes so others replicating the run can do better by letting ottos keep edirne!
@@LudietHistoriaalso u dont actually need to trucebreak. Ragusa is guaranteed from the start by ottomans. And u can attack ragusa right after first war to lower truce timer.
@@user-jh8xg2yg1qExactly! Sometimes they even guarantee Serbia/Wallachia so you can attack them and get Ottos to war again.
Plus, if in the first war you take Kocaeli, Bolu and Ankara instead of Kocaeli, Biga and Hudavendigar, except that you take out one more fort from the Ottos (making the war easier), you can also place your troops at Ankara and attack whichever (Karaman, Candar) the Ottos are about to attack. Then you vassalize that nation and get in a defensive war with the Ottos.
Why truce break? There is no reason
@@user-jh8xg2yg1q yeah but with ragusa you might also have to deal with venice right?
I thought all of Anatolia is considered Europe. That's what it says on the mapmode. It does change from Eastern Europe to Levant subcontinent though. I'm sorry if this is just pedantic, idk all the calculations for AE are.
My cycle with Byzantium: follow to the letter two or three different guides for "can't fail" Byzantium starts; fail repeatedly over and over; wait for new patch and a new set of "can't fail" guides; continue to fail forever
I know. Makes me sad every time I play them.
I was wondering if I was gonna be able to survive as Byzantium before Ludi released a guide, but it turns out he was quicker than expected lmaoo
i got you fam
I definitely want a Trebizond mission tree in the next DLC.
None plays trabzon😅
Komnenoi Restoration go brrrr.
@@thebigflop3118trebizond is the only correct way to play byz 😤😤
I was so disappointed when I found out Trebizond didn't get any updates. They are my favorite nation to play, followed by Theodoro. I hope they both get some love in the next patch.
@chadpuckett80 any advice for a Trebizond game? Been trying to get one off the ground forever, and I keep running into a wall in the forms of the Turks and QQ.
And the one time the stars lined up and I could dec on the Ottos while they were getting their asses handed to them in the Balkans, the Timurids of all people forced me to white peace.
Gonna be honest, I'm so disappointed in Paradox for not updating the flag of the Roman Empire tag. I really don't know why they don't replace the terrible looking low res flag that has been there for ages, when it's so easy to update. Other than that I'm very much looking forward to the DLC.
A Balkans (including Hungary) or an HRE focused DLC would be nice imo, i love playing in the HRE and its sad that most nations don't have one
Second this. HRE DLC sounds so obviously a good idea
alexander's empire reborn? maybe with an easter egg that actiates if you fight a formed persia that would be a refference to the meeting between alexander and darius before the battle of gaugamela. or just reaching the location would give an event chain that would culminate in you finding alexander's tomb, you know, missions that would lead you to babylon where the culminating event fires.
HRE already had at least one big update. Although they are running out of places to give big overhauls to. Now its really about doing touch ups and improvements So its on the cards i'm sure. At least until EU5 is on the table.
HRE would be cool, America’s could really use some work imo especially South America. India would also be good
Yeah, i was thinking the same a balkan dlc would be quite awesome, Hungary,Serbia,Croatia,Wallachia,Moldavia (Romania), Albania. That or a DLC that focuses on post colonial nations like the USA, Canada, Mexico etc. (maybe make them actually likely to break away from their colonial overlords) Would also be a good opportunity to fix the whack colonial system.
Have made 43 attempts, not including restarts where i start with neg morale/diplo rep ruler which is common. Genoa rivals me every time, Venice rivals either me or the pope every time so i cant reduce the shipbuilding timer. The knights are alliable ~50% but almost always never leave Port or send troops so they dont help with holding the strait, i have seen them fight with their ships twice and both times they wouldnt join my navy. Georgia has never accepted land to enter the war and on the occasions where I got the favours they and the Ottomans had improved relations to an insurmountable point. Hungry and albania have rivalled Serbia every time so not an alliance option.
Despite having some reservations about the changes to Byzantium this actually looks a whole lot more fun than the earlier strat of just recruiting ships and rushing Gelibolu while the Ottomans are in Anatolia.
You can still do this, just wait abit more until you finish building ships
one thing I've always wanted ever since the mission trees of nations started to get completely separate branches was different tabs for different non-connected parts of mission trees.
something like what they did for the mission tree previews for persia would be actually perfect, since i'm having a hard time keeping up with all the missions in these newer patches due to the amount of scrolling you have to do in order to read some missions and whatnot.
as a genoese i feel proud that they finally included Giovanni Giustiniani
Was waiting for this video, first person who could pull byz from chaos in eu4 is only ludi (his roman spirit makes him carry the empire)
it was a super fun run
@@LudietHistorialudi we got 7k likes you better upload the second part
I would love to see some love for the Dutch. They rose to power during this time frame and they've received a bit here and there during other releases, but their mission tree is just clunky compared to all the rest of the great powers.
It's honestly impressive you managed to do even the first war without taking a single loan. Your strat works but I always end it (the first war) with like 30 loans minimum and otto's money only repays for like 20 of them. This causes a lot of issues with inflation which costs admin points, which makes you fall back on admin tech, idea groups and coring thus hindering expansion... You were really lucky (and competent) in this run for a lot of reasons including this one
I'm pretty sure Ludi is completely banned from Turkey after all of these Byzantine empire videos.
taxi drivers there hate me bro
they hate everyone except arabs, so dont take it personal@@LudietHistoria
@@LudietHistoria why?
Good, good you are playing Byzantium :D will be nice to watch eating dinner. Already DLC paid for and awaiting the new DLC I finished Philippine Tiger achievement :D
Hope you enjoy it!
Ludi: Hey guys I have a 100% no RNG strategy
Also Ludi: gets a 5 siege general, which I have yet to see in my hundreds of hours playing EU IV
Jokes aside, great video! :) Sometimes I feel like I gotta quit gaming but then you post another video and there I am, not only playing EU IV again but also getting the latest DLC too
Excellent video, great use of the mechanics here. Awesome!
hmm.. maybe I'm getting super unlucky but the diplo stuff is just not working out for me :/
Genoa seems to be rivaling me every single time right at the start
Albania seems to rival Serbia every time, which means I cannot ally them after allying Serbia - which then means I cannot ally the Pope :/
also I noticed that I need to wait a day for the relation bonus from religious diplomats to work, but that's not a thing in the video?
Ludi's Ottoman: attack Karaman in 1446.
My Ottomans: *its years 1454, and i dont think i will be attacking anyone*
I wish you had given a little history about the Hajduks when you took them as mercenaries, I feel they are really underrated and unknown by the general public
I would love to see more focus on the 3 Romanian principalities and their unification into Romania. Transylvania should be a PU of Hungary as they had more autonomy just like Croatia and the Caucasus region with Georgia and Hisn Kayfa focus, maybe Crimea and the Golden Horde also would be nice to see improvements.
ルディさん、最高です!動画をありがとう!
I am a simple man, i see Byz, I like.
i am really so excited for this DLC! After my initital Timu->Persia/Zoroastra run... i will definetivly do custom nation->Byz run for all the flavor, but much less effort :D
If you ally with Wallachia before first Ottoman war, you can actually kill Sultan Mehmet.
They have mission named Impale Sultan, which give them event to kill Mehmet when they occupy Ottomans capital, Edirne.
So you can easily accomplish that mission by giving control of Edirne to Wallachia.
And additional effect. If Mehmet don't have heir at that time, their next ruler would have very low monarch skill, max to 3/3/3.
Damn i forgot that mission. Good advice.
That's very interesting, but you would need to have 10 favors with wallachia don't you? You can't promise them land?
@@infaraday6862 Wallachia almost have interest in Ottoman lands because they get claim by previous mission, The order of the Dragon.
So you could call them by promising land and abandon that promise.
@@Rushmoom9541 yes but they also have truce at game start don't they? You would have to wait or do it on the second war
Tbh Ludi had top tier rng there. A 5-pip general, albania and serbia not rivaling each other...
yeah the 5 siege general made it easy to be honest but even without it same strat applies, did it live with dogshit general and same results
Rome still exist in our hearts.
i agree
RNG proof yet you got a 5 siege general lmao
If Paradox is reading this:
I really enjoy when you have content for small or challenging nations, but making them snowball super hard early on (early than the 1500s I guess) kinda makes it more boring since the challenge is not there anymore. Would love to have a constant challenge - I think Anbennar does it super well with dissasters, events, mythical conquerors, magic, and more. I am sure something like that could be implemented into EU4.
A solution to the "snowball super hard" problem might be to not use every gamey tactic possible.
Play a country like Holland without cheesing it.
I only ever go for the meta knowleage cheesyness when trying to play countries that would otherwise be impossible. Like Byzantine that needs to snowball hard or you simply get gobbled up by the the Ottoman blob.
I don't have the time to figure out thise kind of strats, so when playing "impossible" countries makes me check out someone that has time.
Might not be related to the DLC or patch but it would be nice if he had an auto-conversion button or something in the religious tab to have our missionaries will automatically go converting provinces once they are done just so we don’t have to keep on going back to the religious tab over and over again when a batch of conversions are completed.
They already did it in this patch
@@manuellivanu9876 Reaaly?! Thank all the various gods.
I love your style and jokes a lot, romanius maximus bro. Greetings from an ottobro from Istanbul, TR.
My feedback is a longshot but it would be very gratifying
Big fan of the love Byzantium is getting
Could they toss in a token Colonial nation as a nod to Third Odyssey
I'm a fan of taking centuries to take back the empire, im not expecting them to make a whole dlc around it but a unique tag and/or national ideas would be that lovely bit of extra spice ontop of a DLC already shaping up to be pretty great
17:38 woah! Palace Guard mercs doesn't cost forcelimit? :o
nope
**STRONK**
Thank you Ludi, i am starting to learn my game and play on my own. My vision of EU4 was kind of different, but few days ago it clicked for me. It's more of a diplomacy, stab someone in the back kind of game, then HOI4 where you just produce and commit to the campaign. All of Paradox is about stack multipliers, but since i play from few days (installed the game tons of times trough the years, just to play - quit, play - quit, now I made Eureka and i can build upon this), the game and all it's DLC's (pirated ofc), had so many buttons that were scattered everywhere... It's insane for a newbie to get around, and it's not just 3-4 dlcs. Anyway, thanks a lot and see you in the future when you lead your armies and i govern a small province defending. but i would prefer to be on the same team. Heil from Bulgaria!
The Genoa islands are actually explained by the modifier Byz has now - Essentially, Byzantium loaned those islands to Genoa in exchange for monetary compensation.
Wow that was really cool ! This will definitely be my first campaign in this DLC. Questions to you:
* Do you see a strat with no mercs ? (for challenge sake)
* Couldn't you fight Ragusa and truce reset rather than trucebreak? That's what I do. I don't even truce reset. Ragusa is my go-to when I need to fight Ottomans when in truce.
Feedback pro PDX 😀:
* I honestly don't like the sprites for Byzantium. The units look nothing like the eastern roman infantry of the time. They look more like an alternative history revisit of the Roman Empire. I was hoping to see a change in this DLC.
* No love for the north-caucus nations 😢? It's such a fascinating region, my wife is from there and it's not fun much fun to play there.
* One of my favorite mission trees as of late is that of Riga. The city strategy just gives so many ideas of how to play as an OPM. The influence of these cities is unquestionable and I'd love to see more content of the sort, (including an alternative for byzantium which could embrace an single province strat.
I love the work you guys are doing and great to see Ludi show us how the game features work.
Thanks Ludi for this
Regardless of the next expansion, I would like to see a buff to generic missions for such nations as releasable on start of game and other obscure small nations. Give them some permanent modifiers and claims. Nothing big but a crumb not to starve for content. Since usually playing such nations I will have my own plan and story in mind but permanent modifiers, buffs and claims are not existent. For example expanding the state could give permanent claims on the region to aid with the mission of unifying the region. Unifying would in turn could give a small permanent modifier and maybe power projection 10 permanent or not would be good.
On the other note I really think it is time to give permanent power projection for disbanding HRE. Also an emperor of China and HRE could get Power projection while they are the holder of the throne and certain amount of reforms have been passed that consolidate their empire.
Also a buff to terrains with a major river I think should also be given since large fortification on plains or fields are usually build to take advantage of the water for defense. It could be something new and cool as reducing the amount of calculated units sieging a fortification with this buff being negated during winter as water freezes over.
Covert actions plot kill heir would help in creating personal union with a nation a player has royal marriage and favors with. Also an event where if plot is discovered and relations go to negative player is puled into a war of aggression against target of plot, and nation targeted by the plot get a discount at vassalizing the aggressor or a new button allowing to install their dynasty forcefully on your throne.
Returning to the HRE I would also suggest an event with options for the emperor when releasing a nation it will ask if that nation will be a bishopric which could give bonus relations with the pope, or a monastic order to strengthen the empire with a temporary bonus(5-15 years for example) to HRE when fighting heretics/heathens, release a monarchy which could give loyalty to nobility estate or another option of installing players dynasty but get a minus to nobility loyalty but get a royal ties with released country, and a republic release which would give loyalty to burghers estate and better relation with Free cities of the HRE, or just set them to transfer trade power/steer trade.
Interested in Ludis opinion on this too)
I'm excited for the new update!! I swear every update I'm like "new Venice or Mamluks patches blz?" and like Venice got some flavor in 1.34 so it's ridiculous that i keep going back with grabby hands BUT MAMLUKS CONTENT MAMLUKS CONTENT!
I'd like eastern Europe to get an update in the next dlc. Particularly Ruthenia, their mission tree is quite small. Maybe a way to restore the kievan rus.
Can't believe that this DLC made my old Byzantine save obselete right after I inherited France out of nowhere. 😔
Ludi, terrific music of Braveheart you did!
Incredible video as ALWAYS Ludi, so exicted for this dlc, im gonna follow ur guide right now! Cheerss to paradox for keeping up the hard work, improving the game all the time.
I reckon like some say, Paradox should make a dlc that focuses on Americas as in Aztecs, Murica!, Mexico, Brazil, or Quebec (probably isn’t a tag) or something like that but I’d love to see Hisn Kayfa and I think circassia needs some attention some time
I just started playing this game and really enjoying it. Only have one DLC but plan to get more. Ludi is entertaining as well
Byzantium nerfs are insane for a nation that already struggles hard against the strongest nation in the game.
Followed this strat step by step. They must have made significant updates. On my 10th try. NOTHING works. Ottomans always roll me. Often attack me first lololol
Without doubt Timurids need some attention for the next DLC. And would love to see some more flavour for the hordes.
Is this unlimited rebel spawn fun? It's so tedious to deal with both pretender and the anti-union rebels, + all the other rebels. Managed to beat Ottos, establish a foothold in italy and crimea, but now I'm horribly in debt, rebels spawning all the time, no manpower, no easy avenues of expansion. You make it look so easy in this video and it's anything but.
I would like to highlight the following issues for innovation:
1. Dependence of the reduction in the cost of development on the % of human power. Such dependence exists and has existed in the real world.
2. Change in inflation, inflation is the thing that destroys economies and countries, in eu4 it simply means income per couple of coins. Will help with the balance of money of large countries
3. Financial investments in the provinces in ducats, also reducing the cost of development, prosperity comes faster, etc., etc.
4. Slavic paganism. Preserved in the northern regions of Russia for a very long time. At a minimum, to create your own country, it would be interesting to see more pagan religions.
5. Possibility to refuse a gift (inflation, inflation)
6. More, but I dont remember some cool things, what I found
Man, I followed this guide. Got a good start to the war. Then 10k ottomans smashed a 25k stack of me and allies, then followed me through a fort and stack wiped us in Greece. I guess I'll restart.
They ABSOLUTELY need to add that +1 dice roll to the Theodosian walls, though I do think I understand why they opted not to for the beta. But historically, those walls were beyond impressive. Absolutely one of the most impressive structures of the city, right with the Hogia Sophia. It's a minor change, but it would make Constantinople that much grander.
For Paradox. It would like to improve the mission tree for HRE (Swabia, Hanover, Franconia, Westphalia, Pomerania) and especially for Bohemia, Hungary and Burgundy. Compared to other big countries, the missions are ridiculous and small. Specifically with the Czechs, if you go the way of the Hussites, you won't do 1/3 of the missions. At the same time, Silesia, Moravia, Nitra and Transylvania should have a mission tree and the event of the creation of Great Moravia. For Czechs and Hungarians, you can create an equally high-quality, fun and long mission tree and their long history. There are a lot of options, events and reforms. Bohemia can be referred to Přemyslovka and the dominant in the Middle Ages and the ruler of the HRE. I can't help but think it's sloppy and I'm not talking about the thirty year war that only exists because you choose a side to join and you either win or you don't.
love the new notifications, great addition.
7000 done in the first 12 hours. You need to up your like goals Ludi 😂🎉
In the chance that Paradox sees this, I feel like a Bulwark of Christendom kind of DLC would be a natural step forward, featuring Wallachia, Moldavia, Hungary and Albania, with most other Balkan nations getting some more flavour. We got the Ottomans' immediate neighbours in this DLC, I'd personally like to see the next DLC go further into Europe and give some more immersion to the Balkans countries that were pretty much a thorn in the Ottomans' side in the late 1400s.
Thanks for the video. Go Rome!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! Love it!
Question. With all the "snappadoodles' and other random sounds Ludi makes...if Ludi had a stroke....would anyone notice?
Suggestion to the Paradoxians: I'd love some change to be made to the separatist rebels, or the way they work, so we start seeing countries break free from rebels, rather than almost never seeing it, especially in powerful countries, and primarily seeing them being released in wars.
23:30 There is literally a netflix documentation series "Rise of the Ottomans" describing his role in the Siege of Byzantium
23:25 But Ludi, there is a whole tv series about those events! And Giustiniani is an important character too. The only minor problem is that it is a Turkish production XD. I am not planning to watch it, but you could consider making a "Ludi et Historia reacts" video, I would love to see it. Besides, the second season is labelled "Mehemet vs Vlad".
Bro Giustiniani being a 2/2/3/0 general is so sad... He crushed many times the ottoman army in multiple skirmishes in which he was outnumbered... True class. He must have at least higher shock.
And now i understand how the community post image from a few days ago was done. A bunch of seemingly odd steps that make sense due to the way it works, plus the ability to release bulgaria from the 11th of November 1444, and then 40% cheaper mercenary (with strategy and navy and being at least decent at the game) combined with the pope and Serbia and balkan all over the place. Well, that's at least what i got. Sorry if my prior comment (the community post one) came off as rude or trolly, i should've read into things a bit closer first.
paradox, if ur reading this, add a way to restore Hellenism like norse in lions of the north. also allow athens to restore the latin empire since its a crusader state
25:05 - I hope that they fix/finish the Domination Custom Nation ideas, as the file for them is currently non functional and unfinished. Hopefully this is not a trend that continues for any ideas added for King of Kings.
The real question is did they add Hellenic as a religion?
I really love the new notifications! They are so helpful!
No movie, but Guy Gavriel Kay is pretty much writing historical novels these days, and A Brightness from Long Ago is an awesome novel concerning Italian mercenary politics and the fall of Constantinople.
Sorry but Ludi is clearly leaving important information out of the final cut of this video. Which makes this guide way too hard to follow.
I just visited Georgia and I really want a Georgia video! Loved the country.
Feedback for Paradox: New mission tree for Trebizond and Theodoro.
We got those lovely ones for the Byzantines, Georgia and Armenia. Let's get the rest of the Greek world beefy ones.
Oh, and if we add more to the Byzantines? Something for conquering Perisa and India. "Greater than Alexander" perhaps?
F to Giovanni whom made Belassarius proud
Wow, you are so lucky to have those good generals or other random things in your playoffs. In every single one of them. Wow, so lucky, wow.
Love the guide, great work keep it up!!
Been trying this strategy for 4 hours... and nothing has worked. Either an update nerfed some things, or my luck is just that bad...
As far as I know Giustiniani was a general of a genoese mercenary army. Maybe Paradox can add that mercenary company to the game and make Giustiniani their general instead of making Giustiniani a regular general by event.
It's not a movie, but Netflix made a series called 'Rise of Empires: Ottoman' that covered the events leading up to and the siege of Constantinople in 1453, it was pretty good from what I remember.
Tried it four times already but no success... the Ottomans always managed to finish their wars and come with everything on me, including allies. There were no mercenaries that could help me...
Guys give that like, cause i want a world conquest as roman empire.
I would like to see more mechanics and missions that are focused on helping other countries. Conquest is cool, but sometimes I don't want to expand. For example, it would be cool if the Papal State had more options to help the Teutonic Order convert Eastern Europe and Asia.
Wow 1448? Even Palaiologos would wake up to see how it was done 😄
to Ludi: great video as always. Thanks a lot.
to Paradox:
-Venetia and Genoa need rework similar as Lubeck.
-colonization is broken for the big 4. Mechanics need to change. Tordesillas is enough, colonies should not expand by themselves, as they were not allowed historically.
-all mercs should have traits and somehow size and even composition should not be determined by development.
-please... please... do something about IA developing as if there was no tomorrow from 1550 onwords. Where there's a farmland province I have to conquer a 30+ developed province.
1071 War (Also named Malazgirt War in Turkish) happened in Malatya, Malazgirt. That was the border of Byzantium. Anyways thx for the vid ludibro
More Rome please!❤
QUICK TIP: what i like to do is wait until i get high enough relations with HUNGARY. if you are declared war on by ottomans you can restart and it isn't nearly as frustrating as losing all the battles against them. scornfully insult hungarian rival and improve relations from early game. you may need to unally serbia, ally hungary, then re-ally serbia. to declare war you will wait for truce timer on hungary and serbia to finish, ottos will not invade because of your alliances. when truce is over you have hungary and serbia on your side. also for after when you win the war you will need to not get over 20k in total in your army. also i like to instead of hiring free company at the start, hire up to force limit and get 10% morale from Defense in Depth mission. then get additional 5% army morale from fully annexing epirus (you will never get full naval supremacy against ottomans, even with allies, because it's ai and they get insane admirals for some reason). also, it's a misconception but you also get the permanent claims on italy from the mission even though you annexed epirus instead of vassalizing them. finally for the war you will wait for mil tech 4 because you start the game w/ focusing on mil points.
Esti bun rau de tot boss. Tine-o tot asa.
I like the Nubian nations. I never understood why the nile provinces had such low development. Being inhabited since the dawn of civilisation, but having 1,1,1 development. Then you colonise some provinces for the first time amd they get 10+ development in some cases.
Dude how do you beat the Ottomans in a field battle… my troops get turned into Swiss cheese in the first 3 seconds of the battle
Ludi, you have to play as Georgia next time! They seem to be fun! Oh, man, you know what would be an epic run? To start as Georgia the country, claw your way to survival through the ottomans and Russians, research exploration, get to America and conquer (or establish) the state of Georgia (or its location). Paradox should make this an achievement for this country!

Hey Ludi and Paradox,
What I would want from the next DLC is a complete rework to how colonialism is general works. Europeans, when colonizing the new world, shouldn't be able to send a handful of troops over to the new world and completely crush any indigenous nation armies they come across. The Spanish, for example, were only able to beat the Aztecs because of the massive alliances with disgruntled tribes within the Empire. The vast majority of the army was lead and fought by indigenous peoples.
There should be a far more intensive focus on diplomatic relations with tribes. And having the opportunity to have more peaceful interactions with Natives.
Thanks Ludi. Couldn’t get the purchase link to work so have this instead
Oooo you are too kind! Many many thanks for this, it's much more than using the link, like 20x more, so thanks from the bottom of my heart ^^
YES!! Summon the Diet notification!! Thanks Paradox!
Those are my impressions about byzantium so i hope they will be usefull even if they might be a little too fanboy. First of all i really like the start and the middleof the mission tree with all the flavour that it gives, but i sense like it miss at end of politicial missions, about restablish the roman empire. This byzantine politcal tree ends when reaching the border of justinian reign. When the bizantium dev diary was announced i hoped that even Roman empire would had recived new flavour with byzantium. No more only a goal to achieve but a serious a entertainin expirience with flavour and mission, as expansion of byzantin empire mission tree , and/or as possible other path with its mission flavour ( ancient roman flavour, paganism and tollerance, empire or republic ect) to choose instead of the byzantine one (roman empire more like byzantine, cristian absolute ect). Like the Teutons and other nation of lion of te nord pacth. The last thing is about the Senate reform. i think it would be more interesting if they dont use the base parlament system with the seat (too english), but unique sistem (more roman) like senate as estate with its own privileges.
Thank you for reading this report, for creating those good content and giving us this possibility to be active part of the project .
i apologize for my english.
I knew Ludi would showcase the Byzantines.. Let's go
Ok, I came to EU4 from CK2 and was very ballsy I would steamroll the map, but after seeing this video, I am humbled.
