- In this video titled EU4 1.35 Japan Guide - They Added SAMURAI To The STRONGEST ARMY In EU4 I make an EU4 Guide for Japan starting as Oda for Europa Universalis 4 1.35 Domination. With EU4 1.35 Domination releasing the meta and the starting moves for many nations on the map has changed, so of course new and up to date guides are needed. This EU4 Japan starting moves guide or EU4 Japan starting moves tutorial will ensure that you get a great start for yourself playing as the nation of Japan. This guide covers the opening moves, diplomacy, estates, alliances, subjects, missions, national ideas, and more! Japan is one of the best nations for blobbing, having a massive army that is also extremely powerful, being extremely rich, dominating trade and more! After watching this EU4 Japan guide you will ensure a great start for yourself, and you will have an easy and fun campaign.

Thanks for the video Red Hawk! Really helps a lot! Could we see one for the Great Horde?
Ming!
Serbia
I would love to see a Korean guide. I want to play Korea but I have no idea about Chinese region. So, I don't even know Chinese version of HRE. It would be great!
Never mind It was the wifi acting up
I know it would probably be too similar to Oda, but would love to see a guide for the Japanese pirates
The important thing about the So pirates is that you can declare your first war with your army already landed on an adjacent province, because you're all subjects of the same ruler.
Definitely not too similar, I think So does need a separate guide
I'd love to see a So guide, it's my favorite japanese start. Feels pretty easy with all that sweet pirate money and impossible to conquer capital island.
Just finished a So campaign for Freest Man in the World and Stardust Crusaders and it was really fun. The start is pretty tricky but once you get War against the World and stacks of Samurai it’s easy.
@@TheRedHawk I think Mori clan would be perfect for that.
The "restore our color" decision is there to restore the tag of Japan to its default color, which is that paler red color. This is only possible to take since you formed Japan as Oda, one of 15 daimyo that automatically carry across their color to Japan when forming it (other daimyo that do this include: Tokugawa, Shimazu, Takeda, So, etc.). This is all to say, the Japan you formed already had Oda map color, but you reverted it to its default pale red (a downright criminal offense).
Damn, a Japan guide. It’s been a while hasn’t it?
Definitely!
Thank you so much for making this guide! Keep up the amazing work, your audience loves you, Red Hawk!
30:52 You what? You traded free institution spread for 200 mil points my man.
Ive always wanted to do a Kristian Japan run, this will probably help a lot
i’m a fan of the Kirsten Japan run
One thing I never see but find is super useful is the Draft Warships estate decision. Free Heavy Ship off the bat? Naval domination which makes sieges that much easier. Also to secure the naval crossings. That one Heavy can take any two, maybe three nations in the early game for the Sengoku period.
Why would you brun down the Tripitaka Koreana? It literally gives you free institution spread, so you dont have to dev the your institutions
Ikr I almost spat out my tea when I heard him say burn it. Like wtf. It helps speed up institutions to spread in Japan…
@@liamreitsma5312 I think he's just playing into his inner White Supremacy
That's the thing you're worried about? He missed out on like 3 show strength wars. It's like the best place to do show strength wars! I don't understand why he didn't add it inte guide. Every time I play Japan I average like 3-4 early show strength, but at the minimum 2. Ofc you'll be needing to be aggressive not to bankrupt but isn't that literally what Japan's for?
@@aaturauhala3367 I agree but for new players which this guide is predominantly for its not worth it, they’ll kill themselves as Oda. If the guide was Hosokawa or Uesugi where you won’t die doing it as a new player I agree, but for Oda who has 4 ducat loans it’s not worth getting new players to do. For me personally I did 3 show of strength to rush mil tech 4 and wipe the floor, but I had 10 inflation by the end of uniting Japan from all the loans. Granted I did unite by 1460s I think.
@@liamreitsma5312 10 inflation is literally just 5x75adm (375) / ≈ 8 years of inflation advisor.
ODA has very good ideas for military. so i didnt expand till 1460, but made 4 show strength wars for the mana points. So Renaissance was very fast to spawn and very cheap (1 ducat) because Oda is an OPM. After that i expanded, like you should, but not without 2 more show strength wars :-D Japan is perfect for show strength wars. And these mana points are needed.
How many troops did you recruit following that strategy? Obviously Date isn't quite as strong militarily but I've tried similar with them and I've been losing money too quickly to not grab a couple of early provinces.
I do this often too, waiting and playing a tall OPM for a little while makes the rest super easy. But you'll be forming Japan later I suppose.
I took all of Japan by 1460. AE literally doesn’t matter. Just keep taking loans until you own it all.
@@AGrumpyPanda infantry to the limit + free company. yes loosing money is a thing at the start.
@@raggamuffin6862 Oda must have a pretty solid starting income then, whenever I try to do the show strength start as Date and get the free company it ends up being a new loan every month after the first couple of years.
I made a first attempt but was not satisfied with it, so I made a second start with Japan. The guide is great but i did some things different:
- Put your nation's focus on administration and buy an administration advisor. You will need a lot of administration points (for provinces and stability later after the war against Ashikaga).
- Do not buy the free company right at the beginning. You don't need it at the beginning. Just increase your army to 5 regiments. This way you save a lot of money and can still win wars easily. Opt for the free company when you run out of recruits. Lower the autonomy of your provinces so that you can have a troop limit of ~10 after conquering some provinces. That saves you a lot of money.
These seem like small changes, but they have an BIG effect. I unified Japan in 1470 and only took "indebted to merchant guilds" twice. I did not take any other loans. By 1470 I had 600 money. I was 3/5/5 on tech and had 770 diplo and 1000 mil points left (so i could spawn renaissance easy with developing a province)
I like to race for California and Mexico vs the Spanish. Leads to a tense 1500s, but alot of fun.
Please stop saying that paying off high interest loans early saves you money. It's just not true. You pay the full remaining interest whenever you pay off a loan early.
I followed this guide and got the worst RNG possible for oda (all my neighbors either had a level 3 fort or was allied to a clan with a level 3 fort so I basically either white peace or go bankrupt) 😭
Let's go. Thank you man keep up the great videos!
Even tough samurai infantary is OP, dont use samurai specials units. They cost the double of manpower when they die.
p.e. If one lose 5k in a batle, the manpower decreases by 10k. Its pretty huge and you can run out manpower pretty quickly.
Yeah angry Ashikaga be like "No no don't cut open your belly, I just wanna play Sudoku with you" ...
thank you for the guide! It helped a lot, but i still kept on losing. I fought Korea but their army was about 40K and i ended up spiraling into debt. Right after a jurichen tribe declared war, ming exploded and Wu declared on me for okinawa. I ran out of manpower, and I ran out of money and my navy was super weak after the Korean war so i had to quit that run. Honestly its very infuriating and it is really annoying to start over. Oirat was super strong too and had a strong army along with everyone allying each other screwing me over.
Challenge. As Trebizond you must abaddon your land, colonized japan early enough, and conquer the rest of Japan, China and the surrounding area of eastern Asia. Can you do this?
i played oda pre-1.35 but they were till broken. i went colonial but still conquered all of east asia and the indies, my military ideas were so good i was able to dominate any war i was in
I think it was @TripleZHacker who made a convincing Oda guide where you focus Show Strength wars before conquering and uniting Japan.
You form Japan 10 to 20 years later but you always have the next institution immediately and you are always the first in the world to take tech.
So in the long run it might be better.
The Red Hawk: ideally you would wanna white peace Imagawa so you can fight it asap
The Red Hawk in 10 sec: okay I peaced out Imagawa for some money...
11:07 "Since we don't wanna get Sudoku'd".... it's Seppuku'd hawk 😂😂😂😂
Aight some extra tips here:
1: If you want to slow it down a bit, For your first rivals, pick some guys that aren't right next to you or you aren't planning to immediately attack. That way, you can Show Strength on them to get the extra 300 Monarch points while still fighting your neighbors to take territory.
2: The Economy, it sucks. The hardest thing about the early game is gonna be not ending up bankrupt. This is a big downside to the Show Strength strat, as you can't take money from those peace deals since Show Strength is always 100%, but you CAN dev Owari since it has a valuable trade good and is Farmlands. This will make your new loans much larger than the old ones, but you do have to be careful as the game will sometimes miscalculate when you will go bankrupt and cause you to go bankrupt early. Just make sure you wait until the Renaissance spawns before you do it.
3: Korea is your first boss of this run, as they are with any Eastern Asian nation that isn't insanely more powerful that them really. You NEED to be careful when attacking them. Make sure you are even Mil-tech or above if possible but this will be difficult as they get good rulers and they spawn institutions on their own. Check their ideas before you go to war with them. If they start with Defensive, you may as well restart if you aren't too deep into the game. But they generally start Offensive/Espionage from my experience, which makes siege racing them neigh impossible. Also, you can't let them breath either, or you'll find yourself fighting a death war over 2 provinces and annexing them will end up taking like 8 wars (not an exaggeration). They will, at least, generally not attack you first even if you take land from them and even if they are stronger than you.
4: If you are an achievement hunter, keep in mind that it might not be possible to do the Sakkoku Japan achievement and the Khristian Japan/Stardust Crusaders achievements in the same run as the requirements for Open/Isolationist are pretty steep.
5: You can become Emperor of China and it is quite beneficial to do so simply from the amount of admin points you'll save using the Unify China CB, just make sure to keep your Mandate above 50, and to make sure you accept 2 Chinese cultures so you don't get the Emperor in Name Only disaster.
The most important thing in Japan is to avoid Sudoku
I've tried forming Japan as Otomo but get wiped at the start every single time. I love their ideas for a Kirishitan Japan run but its such an annoying start
Can i do Oda>Japan>Converting to Christianity>Religious Ideas>Eastern Crusader?
The problem with colonial Japan or any other non european colonoal nations is that if you mange to rush for south east asia and Amercia you won't be able to steer trade from all of the nodes form your colonial subjects to your home node. There is a trade node in the pacific ocean(polynesian triangle) which is really important if you going colonial as Japan because it conects the new world to asia, but still you can't benefit form everything in new world and some trade nodes in new world don't go to asia. But Castile, Portugal, England and France can easily steer everything to their home node. The only non european nation that I find intersting for a colonial game was Morroco which of course I formed Andlusia which still is european from a geographical point of view.
I would love to see a guide for Ajam and form Persia
Persia should preferably be formed with Ardabil. It’s the historical route
Can we have an England to angavin empire guide
Just as i open youtube to look for a japan guide, Red Hawk glides in to save me from False Shepherds. Thank you Red Hawk
3:43 “🎶Hire a samurai🎶”
New challenge idea, as any nation you want, conquer all the states in which the capitals of all other nations in the game are (example, Thrace for Constantinople/Istanbul or ile-de France for Paris).
So it didn’t matter how much I improved with Ashikaga, they made me sudoku twice. They even sudoku’d my first ruler, then sent me a nice gift, then sudoku’d his replacement. I felt like I was going to have to pour more admin points into stability than coring
Hey, you didn't showcase the Form Ethiopia part of your run? ;) "Ethiopia is one of the best nations for blobbing, having a massive army that is also extremely powerful, being extremely rich, dominating trade and more!"
Do a Latin Empire guide (it can be formed by the crusader countries) or maybe Timurids
I have a question it is normal that Japan has the China emperor can’t have the exams system tier 3 government ? I play has a Shinto Japan so maybe it’s something for Confucians ?
I would love a Ming guide. I feel like they are in their weakest state ever and I really can't get them going. Great content as always!
Can we get a Korea guide next? You have the best guides thank you!
Institution growth is really powerful btw 30:50
Btw guides for Ainu and Ryukyu that you mentioned in the beginning would also be nice
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ‼️‼️‼️
Hawk you must make a BUKHARA video.
No show strengths? 😢
Lmao my man Red Hawk really said Sudoku'd instead of Seppuku'd LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Great vid though!
I tried playing Oda, i get warring so much that conquerinbg that ashikaga deced on me while i was still their daimyo.... taking like 3 + stab hits... btw they deced on me with the rest of the daimyo xD
I think there is a bug with samurai that not only the costs more ducats to reinforce, they also costs more manpower. I don't know if they are already fixed yet.
Yeah, exactly this. I knew something was wrong since the begining of the campaign, figure it that but even so, I still use the samurai.
First big war on the WC goal, after having more than 10k dev, 400k manpower suply, not a single big battle, with quantity ideas and loose almost all manpower. Its manageable to blob up a litle, fight hordes, Ming and other small nations, but its not feasible to a WC when u have to fight everywhere with huge troops numbers.
I always wait to stab once before take advisories discount priviliege
Shinto or Confucian.
Pros and cons to each?
Also what type of isolation do people prefer?
Confucian forces you to play humanist bc converting tanks Harmony. That means no culture conversion either so you only get True Faith and primary/accepted culture boni from a limited number of provinces. That said, high Harmony means +10% dev cost, something Shinto only gives with full Isolation. And in longterm, you'll get a lot of neat modifiers when you Harmonise most of available religions.
Shinto offers a more limited number of boni but it will give you lots of missionary strength and ToTF so conversion won't be a problem (in my 1.35 Tokugawa game I was sitting on 10.5% MS and 13 ToTF before 1600s without Religious ideas which is ridiculous). Also a lot of Japanese temporary and permanent mission rewards and govt reforms rely on you staying Shinto (edit: or going Christian if that's your cup if tea. Just remember that you'll have to grab the Mandate before going Christian else you'll lose access to it) so it kind of compensates for lategame Confucian with tons of harmonized religions
Finally🎉
Do a guide for Korea please
As Japan, do you want to turn colonies in Malacca as trade companies or is it better to state them?
I remember when the emperor Sudoku'd me. I could never look at the numbers 1 thru 10 again 😂
Japan united by the Oda clan is the dream timeline
Damn that forced seppuku though fr
What dlc do I need to Play like this as japan? Domination?
Yes
@@limezebra2623 thank you!
I would suggest getting creamapi
Shimazu still has best colour, and thus it's objectively best.
next guide, trebizond ? up for the challenge ?
How does this change with a Kirishtan run? Don't you have to retain the Daimyo gov reform?
Hi Red Hawk and welcome to today's comments
fairly new to the game and i'm having trouble with being bankrupt. i try and pay off the loans like in the video but it eventually just catches up to me. any advice?
I just did a Oda > Japan > Celestial Empire Japan. Was trying to to Supreme Shogunate but it wouldn't, all I got was House of the Rising Sun. Anyways, Oda armies just rolfstomped anything in the way. Even a 50-dev-per-province super Korea
why didnt you just declare on the shogun and take hosokawa in the same war
i started as Ashikaga and i colonized all available pacific islands, Australia, most of north america and northern part of mexico, also all of Siberia, imagine what kid of world it would be today with Shinto as the main culture in north america 😂
Do stardust crusaders achievement if you havent already please
Shimazu my beloved.
Make a guide for Wallahia or Moldavia!
You get 6 6 6 6 generals and 6 6 6 rulers with oda in 17th century easily
What nation is better to play tall and develop a lot: Japan or Korea?
Is there any way you could make video about trade?
I can’t peace enemy Alia’s out because the “won’t leave war for gold” modifier. Is there a way to get around it or not?
pls do an england guide
11:05 I too hate sudokus, wouldn't want to be forced by my liege to play one 😢
Why not seize lands before granting nobility increased levies?
Can you do a guide for England? I wanna try the new mission tree for the British/Angevins but I don’t know how to play it optimally.
I always wind up not playing it right, spending at least a decade recovering from the france war, and by the time I’m through the war of roses, unified the isles and have france it’s already almost 1500.
I am doing an Angevin empire campaign currently HRE emperor, PU poland and castille, you should watch absolut habibi's guide for it, use mercs and stackwipe all the small vassals of france, but it might need some restarts if the wars drag out
Can you still vassal swarm as Japan
Does the shogun vassal swarm still work?
EU4Shogun 2 total war Oda being very powerful
why didn't you get any show strength?
Form japan as SO
i prefer hussite glogow and exodus to new world playstyle babyyyyyyyyy
Oda just might have the best idea set in the game.
Just as i started a japan game 😂
I usually play Date and go for the show of strenght wars until about 1470. Then I speed form japan cause my innovativeness is so high and focus on getting colonialism spawned in my nation for the meme.
Shimazu please
Ill try to follo it as ashigaka
I’m never this early
A japan guide with zero show strengths?
Naaaah… No priviledges except for mana for fast 30 crownland and DO NOT improve with ashikaga, as it decreases your liberty desire => seppuku. I mean come on, that’s basic stuff
First
Noice
Oda just might have the best idea set in the game.
