@@nijadbahnam9859 That's weird considering Wallachia was notorious for continuously backstabbing their Christian allies and joining the Sultan whenever it felt convenient
The reason Provence gets a claim on Hungary is because their ruler is related to the Anjou dynasty, a cadet branch of the Capetians that ruled Hungary and Poland some 60 years before game start.
"If you're interested in a guide to forming Jerusalem, please let me know in the comments..." You were expecting a no? Seriously though, great video. Always nice to see your videos.
Forming Jerusalem is quite easy to do tho, after your initial start. Insult Byzantium, scornfully so. Ally as many strong powers as you can and include at least one that will help you fight Byzantium. Hope Byzantium does not get too many Allies. Then when you notice the Ottomans are getting ready, declare and get the first sieges. Best case Scenario like me, Byzantium and Serbia will stomp Epirus while you siege down Constantinople with mostly Ottoman troops. You swing round and siege down southern greece while. Give Epirus some of the Byzantine cores, it will make it easier to control the Byzantines in the long run. The vassalize them. now you are at war with the Ottomans while Austria and Venice have your back. Time to stomp them, but take as much Anatolian land as you can this time around. Your future wars will be all about sieging down where the Ottoman armies are farthest away from. So if they fight in the Balkans, fight them in Anatolia. If they fight in Anatolia, you conquer the Balkans. But do try to expand to Tunis and Egypt through your missions, for you will piss off most of Islam and I had a coalition of Morocco, to Kilwa, to Gujarat, to the Golden Horde a little while after I formed Jerusalem.
The Mughals have the best missions in Asia hands-down. If you form them as the Timurids with fully integrated vassals you already get about 12 modifiers from the Iranian conquests.
The holy father= Jesus Christ you are fucking Disgusting The ottoman Empire= Allah forgive his sin! Austria=*Claim somehow your throne through mission tree*
I think Franconia deserves an honorable mention. Not only do they have a personal union on France and Brandenburg, but they get an extra diplomatic relation from those respective missions, which combined with strong duchies, influence, diplomatic, can lead to an ungodly 8 diplomatic relations for an unheard of vassal swarm. That doesn't even include the policies when combined with Offensive or Defensive ideas, which can pump that up to 10.
There's a reference in the Crusader missions. As the Knights (only, I think) you can go around the New World chasing the Fountain of Youth. You also get a free Scottish conquistador. It's a reference to the Act 1 of Age of Empires 3's campaign!
@@bagele3902 thanks man, I'll have a look next time I get on. Also a good tip for byzantium, make an alliance with the islamic nation in southern anatolia, they make a great distraction for the ottomans when you're trying to take back greece. Though they'll eventually stop being friendly once their state becomes volatile which I noticed happens alot.

@@Newbmann In what way this lack of content is historically accurate? Some of the formable nations are some fantasy stuff or "what if?" scenarios like Ruthenia that was just a name of the region IRL or the recreated Mayan Empire and Rum. They could have introduced Rozvi Empire as a formable nation (Butua even has the achievement of the same name) or make special missions for Madagaskar nations dedicated to the unification of the island. Talking about fantasy they might as well add Beta Israel or Nubia.
Lithuania's will always have a special place in my heart. Did the reverse commonwealth run last year and the stuff you get from both mission trees combined blew my mind.
I feel like england/great britain should be mentioned. They do get claims on all of India, various colonies in north america, and a good portion of western europe (France, HRE)
I also feel Italy and Germany should be mentioned. Brandenburg -> Prussia -> Germany gives claim on all central Europe and massive bonuses. So would do a Epireus -> Two Sicilies -> Italy campaign (with Roman Empire as a bonus).
I played a game where I was testing out different tactics to become Qing, and I decided to not play Iron man, even though I was close to doing it. Then, through nothing but luck, right when I had conquered Korea Ming lost pretty much their whole army and there was rebellions all over the damn place. They had also decided to cancel me as a tributary 5years earlier so I declared war and took the mandate with barely any resistance. I formed Qing and was so fucking happy, and then I realized I wasn’t playing Iron man. They easiest game ever to form Qing and I had decided not to play Iron man. I still hate myself
Tall Bavaria is super OP: Bavarian ambition + Economic Ideas + Economic/Quantity Policy + Tons of farmland, cloth, and centers of trade in Southern Germany = very easy to develop, on par with the Low Countries.
I recently played a Jerusalem game as Provence and it was a wild ride. I lost an early PU over France that had inherited Burgundy, but one on Naples and then taking the holy land through Egypt and getting the Ark of the Covenant were wonderful highlights.
The opm that needs a long mission tree is ardabil hand down due to them forming Persia historically and it would make this is Persia runs more enjoyable
I was not going to like, but then you made the EU4 callback with improve relation and I was like. Dammmmm his diplomatic reputation is good “subscribe, like👍”
been doing a fairly casual Castile>Spain campaign and ay Dios mio, my luck combined with these missions. let's just say I control all of Iberia, France, burgundy, Naples, Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, and the entire British isles just from PUs.
12:10 another thing you can do, and i call this the chad way to play, is, snake your way through ming china similar to as if youd play oirat going for nomandate yuan, so you border every splinter nation, and start vassalizing those splinter nations, then kill ming, get the mission and annex every single chinese vassal splinter nation immediately (you obviously cant take all of them but youz can for example take the south marches off of ming with the first age CB if you are fast, which you can be) because if you own cores on a land, diplo annexing it costs you nothing and is instant. This is the chad way to do things because less seperatism, unrest, overextension, alot less mana but also a way faster unification and also stronger provinces because you wont accidentally (purpusefully) burn them down for the sake of mana. Great video as always alzabo, i didnt even know i have enforce PU on the bell, because quite frankly, im a horde player, if you couldnt tell, i dont usually go to europe for marrying , i go there for genepool cle I mean, peaceful but mandatory terretory abritrage.
@@AlzaboHD i disagree for yugoslavia since it could be formed by 1550. Panslavism is an ideology from the XIXth century and it would break the immertion. Talking about slaves they should put slovak culture in west slavic group again, and create three new small culture included in the westslavic group called slovincian for on province in east pomerania, cachoubian for 2 provinces in west prussia and polabian for 1 province in west pomerania. These cultures are still living or deseapeared between the XVIth and the XIXth centuries it should be represented but dominated by german pomeranian and prussian cultures. I agree for norway though.
@Adolf Schinkler i agree but the idea of a unified germany already existed in the XVIIIth (voltaire talked about it) while the idea of unifying the slaves in one nation is from the XIXth century. The game shouldnt be anachronical
You should feature an Anbennar top 10 video on your channel, I'm sure the guys working on the mod would appreciate the attention. They just released an update for 1.30, and I gotta say I've been having a lot of fun with it.
Correct answer is actually DDR. Start as Dithmarschen and culture swap early to pomeranian, get dithmarschen permanent modifiers (mainly 20 goods produced and 5% adm efficiency), swap to pommerania and get their permanent 10% cavalry combat ability, swap to prussian and get their bonuses including +20 max absolutism and +5% adm efficiency (plus a bunch more) then finally form germany to get their bonuses which are many including huge amounts of claims and yet another 5% to adm efficiency (plus germany has an insanely strong idea set including a 4th 5% adm efficiency)
I've had some incredible runs in the latest update as Burgundy-France, Milan-Italy, and Brandenburg-Prussia-Germany, and I'm quite surprised to see them missing from the list. Notably, Prussia and Germany each grant a permanent +5% Admin Efficiency, which stacks up quite well against the Mughals.
Taungu mission is also interesting one. Starting as one province state of a much larger kingdom and the ultimate goal is to sit on the dragon throne as Emperor of China is a monumental task.
Ngl, I personally think Dithmarschen gets an honorable mention. 500 mp across diplo and mil, permanent claims over a fair chunk of north germany and denmark, as well as the russia region, and permanent 20% goods produced, 5% AE, 20% spy network construction and 30% rebel support efficiency. Granted the latter two can be somewhat underwhelming, but any AE is good, and 20% goods produced is huge.
One small thing, Austria also had a PU mission on Naples, this means that not including croatia as they get integrated a short while after 6 PU opportunities
I am quite surprised France didn’t make the cut, given the PU CB’s on Milan, Naples, and all of Spain, and a subjugation CB on Poland or the Commonwealth, all just from missions
I’m not sure if you mentioned it in the video, but if you pass the mission you need 100 dev for Provence while Aragon is still under a PU, you get cores on all of Naples instead.
I think Bohemia should’ve been here. The new Hussite shit is super fun and super unique. Essentially running your own religion and spreading it is super cool. Plus good pu’s
The power of Qing's "gain free cores over all of china" is somewhat damped since it's completely reliant on Ming imploding, which actually becomes more unlikely if you steal the Mandate from them, which you have to do in order to get access to that mission tree anyway. In my Qing achievement run the war that ended Ming was the same one that brought the last Chinese provinces under my control, making the reward for that mission completely useless.
I played Bavaria and by 1600 got PUs over: The Palatinate, Bohemia, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Brandenburg, France, have 2 vassals (1 of them an elector), and also have my dynasty ruling in Russia, giving me a possible Claim Throne wargoal later, also inherited Burgundy, way too op

History of the D'Anjou in Central/Western Europe is very interesting. They ruled as kings in Hungary and fought with Polish Piasts against Luxemburgs who ruled in Czechia/Bohemia. After death of the last of the Piasts Louis I od Hungary ruled in Poland for 12 years. He was a bad ruler and wasn't interested in actually ruleing in Poland so he choose his mother to rule instead. Louis had 3 doughters but none od them could inherit the Polish throne so king after giving nobility some priviliges secured throne for his daughters. Basically all his doughters one after another were supposed to became the rulers of Poland. But at the end Jadwiga/Hedvig was crowned the King of Poland and married Władysław Jagiełło of Lithuania. She and her only child died short after giving birth. She is said to be one of the best rules Poland had. After death she became saint.

Dayum, why does your map look so smooth? Did you change something in the settings or is it a mod?
How on Earth did Bohemia not get on there? They're like a better Bavaria. If you start as Bohemia, you can get a PU over Poland, Lithuania and Hungary, while being able to vassalize Brandenburg and Saxony. If anyone wants a fun world conquest, do that and then form Bavaria (allowing a PU over the Palatinate and Austria), and then form Germany for the Cherry on top.
Restoration of union cb from missions is an abomination that should be abandoned completely. It totally changes the way the game is played, and not in a good way. Most notable example is France and its PU cb over Spain. While playing as France you can ignore Spain completely until the late game, let them colonize like there's no tomorrow, get the mission around 1800 and just take half of the world under PU in one swift war. Umm... yay? Btw, in my playthrough Spain became a republic, but still fell under my PU (without changing the government type)... only to spexit 4 years later when they elected someone else. If you don't see a problem with all this...
French missions are very op too with pu casus bellis on spain and a casus belli to vassal commonwealth + claims on whole england, italy, belgium, switzerlands and west germany and a claim on moscow with op event when you took moscow

I think Bohemia should’ve been here. The new Hussite shit is super fun and super unique. Essentially running your own religion and spreading it is super cool. Plus good pu’s
The power of Qing's "gain free cores over all of china" is somewhat damped since it's completely reliant on Ming imploding, which actually becomes more unlikely if you steal the Mandate from them, which you have to do in order to get access to that mission tree anyway.
In my Qing achievement run the war that ended Ming was the same one that brought the last Chinese provinces under my control, making the reward for that mission completely useless.
I would love to see a Jerusalem guide for the Good King Rene achievement. Also where's the Hisn Kayfa guide?
I played Bavaria and by 1600 got PUs over: The Palatinate, Bohemia, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Brandenburg, France, have 2 vassals (1 of them an elector), and also have my dynasty ruling in Russia, giving me a possible Claim Throne wargoal later, also inherited Burgundy, way too op
I think dithmarschens missions are solid with Russia claims and lots of modifiers til end of game
I subscribed as soon as I saw you play as Jaffna. I am from Jaffna.
Wot and EU4? You and I are not so different 😄
Savoy mission is amazing
Yo, what is this nice outro music?!? I can't get it out of my head
Ill take a look and post it here (ill edit this comment). Thanks for reminding me!
@@AlzaboHD Aha thank you!
@@RamanShrikant found it! It's called "does it float" and it's by Otis Mcdonald. Here's a video link: th-cam.com/video/Jx4bzTCATRA/w-d-xo.html. Sorry for the wait!
@@AlzaboHD Thank you so much!!!
History of the D'Anjou in Central/Western Europe is very interesting. They ruled as kings in Hungary and fought with Polish Piasts against Luxemburgs who ruled in Czechia/Bohemia.
After death of the last of the Piasts Louis I od Hungary ruled in Poland for 12 years. He was a bad ruler and wasn't interested in actually ruleing in Poland so he choose his mother to rule instead.
Louis had 3 doughters but none od them could inherit the Polish throne so king after giving nobility some priviliges secured throne for his daughters. Basically all his doughters one after another were supposed to became the rulers of Poland. But at the end Jadwiga/Hedvig was crowned the King of Poland and married Władysław Jagiełło of Lithuania. She and her only child died short after giving birth. She is said to be one of the best rules Poland had. After death she became saint.
Dayum, why does your map look so smooth? Did you change something in the settings or is it a mod?
Nice to see Hungary make a appear on one of these lists
A Provence > Jerusalem guide would be great!
Had me right up until the end with "Force a personal union over the notification button"
“And special tanks to...” You’re dead to me Alzabo.
Do make a Jerusalem guide tho :3
You should do a video on Anbennar!
I need remedial Crusading classes. A Provence->Jerusalem guide would be awesome
I’d love to see a top 10 leaders or government forms
Marrying your cousin is nice and all but try to royal marry your PU subject. That actually happened in my recent Austria campaign
Would love if it mentioned which DLCs gave the missions. Mughals sans DLC is still good, but it's a far cry from the what's mentioned here.
Bavarian states also start with the same dynasty as Denmark. Some PU potential there.
Papal = Pay-pull. Duchy = Dutch-E. ur English is Great, just tryin to help.
How on Earth did Bohemia not get on there? They're like a better Bavaria. If you start as Bohemia, you can get a PU over Poland, Lithuania and Hungary, while being able to vassalize Brandenburg and Saxony. If anyone wants a fun world conquest, do that and then form Bavaria (allowing a PU over the Palatinate and Austria), and then form Germany for the Cherry on top.
They should add a mission tree for the Roman Empire.
Restoration of union cb from missions is an abomination that should be abandoned completely. It totally changes the way the game is played, and not in a good way.
Most notable example is France and its PU cb over Spain. While playing as France you can ignore Spain completely until the late game, let them colonize like there's no tomorrow, get the mission around 1800 and just take half of the world under PU in one swift war. Umm... yay?
Btw, in my playthrough Spain became a republic, but still fell under my PU (without changing the government type)... only to spexit 4 years later when they elected someone else. If you don't see a problem with all this...
AlTeRnAtE HiStOrY and HiStOrIcAl AcCuRaCy
French missions are very op too with pu casus bellis on spain and a casus belli to vassal commonwealth + claims on whole england, italy, belgium, switzerlands and west germany and a claim on moscow with op event when you took moscow
the thing nobody ever mentions about Austria is how unfun it is to deal with the reformation because it ruins the entire experience.
awesome video, i've learned some good stuff. thx again.
Yes do a good king rene guide
I also really like the Brandenburg-Prussia tree and I hope you do the Jerusalem guide please
When mentioning Austrian PUs, you forgot they can also PU Bavaria and settle the Habsburg Wittlebach feud once and for all
They also made Brandenburg-Prussia even stronger in 1.30 with the missions aswell
I'm surprised france isn't on here with its huge but diverse mission tree, along with Russia and Siberia colonization
Psst...
Guide to a horde world conquest could also be an interesting one ;)
I've been waiting for your next video haha keeeeeeeen
I am interested in whatever video results in more frequent uploads.
I prefer the pirate missions. You can get claims on India and Madagascar along with other stuff
A guide to taking Jerusalem? Sounds fun.
