I haven't seen many guides on Genoa. Their starting position seems really cool to me, but I just can't really get them started. Would you like to give it a try?
Sadly 1.34 will nerf Bavaria a bit. Denmark wont have the Wittelsbachs as a normal dynasty anymore. So thats that save PU opportunity out of the window.
Tbf it’s almost impossible to PU denmark anyways, what with Bavaria having no navy to reach copenhagen and the AE for PU’ing the whole Kalmar Union being absolutely insane.
@@thedemonhater7748 I mean, if you can get Burgundy then it's doable. Also I'd say that Bavaria is probably one of easiest countries to do Atwix 10 PUs Achievment.
Glad to see Bavaria being played (Also fun fact : Greece in 1832 got a king named Otto of Bavaria, plus his father Ludwig was a philhellene, he was really interested in Greek culture and history, plus that's why you see Greek architecture in Bavaria) So yeah, that could fit in a alt history mod ;)
for some reason if you play as Landshut, Munich will 80% of the time be guaranteed by Bohemia before 1445 and Ingolstadt will be allied with Austria/Hungary. Munich also starts with -2 on Hungary for an alliance, meaning they can ally them in december. I had to restart so many times just to get a game in which the bavarian minors werent protected by big nations.
Month late, but I had the same thing. Basically, instead of restarting, I allied bohemia, improved relations etc and waited until they just revoked their guarantee. Turns out it was worth it because for no apparent reason, just as me and my allies were cleaning up munich, palatinate declared on munich so after i pued the latter... free vassal XD
Random other EU4 TH-camr making a guide: "Oh my schnappledoo, I already became emperor! In Ironman mode! Let's continue and cheat our way to ultimate victory!!!" Hawk: "Oh damn, I already became emperor. Let's restart, since this is completely unrealistic."
@@lorrdy7640 the point is that it's gonna be rare so then the guide won't apply. Obviously if you get it early, keep it, but you can't expect it reliably. I remember a Brandenburg run I did in 1.9, back when it was easy to PU bohemia as pretty much anyone close enough to RM. Austria died pretty early and I unexpectedly was elected emperor which I didn't expect until after winning league war. Still flipped to Protestant and lost emperor but took it back after league wars. It helped make my WC run easier but I didn't expect the early emperorship
What you talking about? :D Ludi did same thing few times when he got lucky shit in his guide with quick explaining what to do if you also get that. The more guys like them do guides and videos about eu4 the more WE win.
I find that the biggest issue forming Bavaria in 1.33 is Bohemia. Even if you ally bohemia and have Munich as a rival, a lot of games Bohemia will guarantee Munich. Very annoying. That's why if you play as Landshut, I highly recommend doing the Bohemia PU cheese and then uniting Bavaria. Otherwise, I think Munich is the best option to form Bavaria with 1.33.
if you wait out on forming Bavaria and build 5 buildings in your junior partner's capitals they will also get centers of trade. You can end up getting like 6 or 7 centers of trade in vien trade node
I suggest Korea! I really like playing them (mostly for the absolutely absurd 40+% tech cost reduction if you go inno ideas) so I'd like to see how you approach it!
As for the next guide, maybe someone in the Indian subcontinent or Southeast Asia that has a cool mission tree. Although I have a lot of hours under my belt, I like your guides because you explore mission trees that I have never really delved into and where to go with them. And btw, really enjoy your stuff and appreciate your alt-F4 actions to keep the guide true!
You becoming Emperor by pure dumb luck so quick reminds me of a Provence game where I got elected as Emperor by accident (provence diplo rep is nice) because the Austrian ruler died young and heirless, and then one month later Burgundy (who was neutral to me) gave me the inheritance
I watched your bavaria guide like 2 days ago and in that video you forgot that you getting permament cores on bavaria areas and built a spy network on palatine and salzburg, and you did it again :D
12:38 That's one way to skin a cat. The Palatinate was allied to Wurtenberg. Depending on Wurtenburg allies, I would just declare on Wurtenberg and separate peace the Palatinate and only make them annul alliance with Austria. That way, you can declare war 6 years later for PU and save the favors with Austria. Edit: 16:39 NICE!!!
Bruh I have been trying to do a bavaria run the entire day follow the 1.31 guide (finnaly got a good start) and RedHawk releases this after I'm done playing for the day
Maybe a Korea guide. They have some crazy playing tall potential, especially if you open with Innovative Ideas, because you can stack -20% tech cost in the first decade of the game, and get insane mana generation from the advisor discounts. And you can also become Emporer of China.
I know it's kind of out there, but I'd love to see a New Providence or other pirate republic guide. I can never seem to escape the ire of Spain or stabilize my economy.
A guide for Franconia would be very interesting because the Nations with franconian culture arent so strong. The Mission tree isnt very unique but I think its worth it for a video guide.
I don't know if others are having this problem but austria won't ally me even after doing all the steps and a diplo rep guy. Does anyone know how I can fix it?
My last campaign was a Munich run where I never formed Bavaria and just painted "Munich" all over southern Germany and northern Italy lol very fun region
Great Guide as allways. Smally critic for the Thumbnail thougt. Stettin is Not Part of modern Germany but Sternberg (the Newmark Province Brandenburg Starts with) is Part of Modern Day Germany.
Already have something for Octoberfest. Now we need an event/idea for laderhosen, yodeling and ladies with braids, blonde hair and big bo-...isterous personalities!
i dont understand how in al these guides the austria ruler dies so quickly. Im following the bohemia guide, I'm 20y in and i missed the shadow kingdom because im still not emperor, as there has been no election yet...
this game has serious issues with the death roll on leaders, they frequently die far too young, I don't play ironman so I don't have to deal with that grief so I just load auto save when my leader dies at 24.
Personally i play as Munich, one of Bavaria minor do ally and only Austria but hopefully for me Saxony(with thuring as PU), Mayence, cologne (+ I manage to PU the other Bavaria minor) help me to beat them. Recommend if you want some "challenge" if not just restart. P.S.: I just raise free company, wasn't out of my force limit and the 5 1% loans, do lose lot of manpowers to siege Austria but didn't take more loans or hire more mercenaries, it's way easier my situation that fighting ottomans as Byzantium in 1444.
If one of the other minor Bavarian nations allies Austria, couldn't you just declare on the other first, then declare on Austria's ally once they're locked into a war with you?
Will you talk about the last dev diary for the upcoming expansion? They'll change the government reform, and notably buff curtail noble privilege and nerf strentghten nobles, plus adding a ton of other reforms ^^
The RNG on this start is a little brutal, to get a situation where Bohemia doesn't guarantee or ally Munich (always happens, except when I'm Munich) and Austria or Hungary doesn't ally Munich or Ingolstadt. Or maybe I've just hit a bad streak.
@@jotadgdg7412 I did manage to find a run as Munich where I could force Landshut to break the Bohemia alliance and get some traction there. The guarantee is tougher to deal with.
I did eventually get a start where Bohemia didn't guarantee or ally one of the other Bavarian minors, so it does happen. Which makes me happy, because the guide as a whole is pretty sweet.
I have a specific plan in mind with Byzantium, first I recover all lost Roman lands (and even add a little more, like the entirety of the British Isles, all of Arabia and East Africa), Then I go colonize the Americas and see if I should just conquer the "New world" in its entirety or conquer the entire world in the end.
A little trick - you don't have to restart if say munich ally austria. Just wait until they attack Ingolstadt and declare on Ingolstadt yourself, PU them and boom - you are in a war with Munich as a defender! Win the war, PU Munich, form Bavaria, done!
While I understand the point about white peacing someone you're going to want to fight, Regendsburg is a free city. You're not co-belligerenting them OR declaring on them normally anyways, so what does the truce length matter? You should always just take as much as you want from a free city since you're not going to be declaring on them.
@@goranpersson7726 You do not take AE from cancelling alliances/rivalries/gold. It could mess you up if you cancelled their alliances and they got a stronger one, but there's absolutely no reason to at the very least not take the gold.
Oh man i once did Bavaria run and waited for the Austrians to pu Hungary,Bohemia and Burgundy after i got them as my pu's i pu'd Brandemburg from that moment the game was won but i decided to have fun with HRE vassal swarm is op ultimatly i decided to form HRE instead of Germany because i never formed them.

as Landshut you actually get an event which makes Ingolstadt your pu when their ruler dies, so you don't actually have to declare on them.

You becoming Emperor by pure dumb luck so quick reminds me of a Provence game where I got elected as Emperor by accident (provence diplo rep is nice) because the Austrian ruler died young and heirless, and then one month later Burgundy (who was neutral to me) gave me the inheritance

Thank you!
3 mins ago let's go. Excited to see your Bavaria run
Enjoy!
I watched your bavaria guide like 2 days ago and in that video you forgot that you getting permament cores on bavaria areas and built a spy network on palatine and salzburg, and you did it again :D
of course right after i finish my bavaria campaign i always knew you had it out for me REDHAWK
this is one of your best guides yet
Had to restart 6 or 7 times because Munich keeps getting alliances with Austria Poland and Hungary, am I just really unlucky?
12:38 That's one way to skin a cat. The Palatinate was allied to Wurtenberg. Depending on Wurtenburg allies, I would just declare on Wurtenberg and separate peace the Palatinate and only make them annul alliance with Austria. That way, you can declare war 6 years later for PU and save the favors with Austria.

And you can also become Emporer of China.
Plus they got the turtle boat achievment. So it's an extra win for those who aim for that.
I played China and Japan they're both incredibly boring, so maybe i'll try out Korea instead
@@Brakiros japan is boring? when did you have time to get bored during sengoku jidai
I know it's kind of out there, but I'd love to see a New Providence or other pirate republic guide. I can never seem to escape the ire of Spain or stabilize my economy.
also, if you could have held the throne at the beginning, you would have received a cb to restore the union with Milan
"Now we're gonna break our alliance with Austria because we dont like them anymore"
Bismark? Is that you?
Denmark, especially if they still have Scandinavia, is always a great PU in a Bavaria campaign.
Lol that first general you rolled for might as well have been 0 0 0 0!!!
Everytime i've tried this start as Landshut, Bohemia always grants independance on Munich. so frustrating!!
You can complete the center of trade mission for all three getting three centers via mission tree before forming Bavaria
Q: What is Landshut's starting force limit?
A: NEIN!
Bavaria into Austria into HRE/Germany is a really fun campaign
Alt +f4 - something ludi woulnt do and claim its proper guide lmao. Thanks for doing that, makes it more realistic.
I always liked Bavaria's map color
The Emperor can use imperial authority to change the HRE's inheritance laws to allow your Heiress to become Empress.
Thanks for the video.
Try Swabia with their free annexing of allies (no, not subjects, allies). No one seems to have touched it
Just a reminder: you NEED to start as Munich if you want the "stern des südens" Achievement :)
A guide for Franconia would be very interesting because the Nations with franconian culture arent so strong. The Mission tree isnt very unique but I think its worth it for a video guide.
Gomu Gomu No RED HAWK!!!!
I don't even want to play Bavaria but thank you for uploading :))
I don't know if others are having this problem but austria won't ally me even after doing all the steps and a diplo rep guy. Does anyone know how I can fix it?
Going to be my next game but will probably start as Munich like the old guy. Thanks Redhawk! I’d recommend you do Ming guide next!
Bavaria is so much fun, this is the first nation I ever formed Germany with. Also ended up flipping orthodox
I've only really played a few nations in HRE, Austria, Brandenburg, and Burgundy for a few years
Shouldn’t you have an early war with bohemia to take ceb
We love you.❤️
You can creat 3 trade center by mission and then create Bavaria :)
BAVARIA OMG FINALLY
hello again mr red hawk
Hello hello
You just did "This is a nation that lets you subjugate everyone" what about doing the actual nation that lets you subjugate everyone, Mahapajit?

How do you get this improve relations window at 8:48 maybe im stupid but I dont seem to have it
THis may sound odd as its not a country guide but would you consider doing an episode that is just a guide to the different estates and priveledges?
How do you manage with that many diplomatic relations? Do you even have any diplo power to spare?
What does the Cologne Secunditure (or whatever it is called) achieve? Does the elector is a subject imperial authority malus go away?
Great Guide as allways. Smally critic for the Thumbnail thougt. Stettin is Not Part of modern Germany but Sternberg (the Newmark Province Brandenburg Starts with) is Part of Modern Day Germany.

There is a problem. 100% of my Landshut games (6) Bohemia guarantees Munich...
You have to micromanage things in order to declare war as soon as you can, and of course you need luck
Streamer luck, this man got emperorship in like 10 seconds. My last Bohemia game took me till something like 1490 to get it
fun fact the ilumnati started in Bavaria
Hello! Can you plz post the saves for Burgundy and Bavaria on Discord?
I swear to god I was watching the old bavaria guide not 10 minutes ago.
When you PU Munich, if you let him have his vassal instead of annex him directly, will you inherit it too or will he break free?
I'm pretty sure it breaks free
I think you inherit it as your vassal. Unless something changed that I don’t know
If you enforce union they will keep vassals but if you vassalise someone vassals will become independent
2:37 That's a funny bug. Someone at Paradox must have accidentally set Margarete's sex as male.
In 1.34, Austria allies one of the other Bavarian states every single time, even if we both rival each other. So annoying
the AI purposely tries to sabotage the player by allying the player's neighbours even though they're horrible allies.
Generally speaking Bohemia loves to guarantee Münich which kinda ruins early game unification.
what dlc does this tree come in?
plz do Denmark when 1.34 comes out :D
