Wow, you've actually picked the challenge I suggested! Nice ;) And about the last video, from what I've seen in the comments, the complains mostly weren't about moving the nation on its own, but about changing religion and government, basically transforming it to a regular HRE OPM. Maybe you could have moved it to Siberia or Africa instead? You know, somewhere, where you could actually migrate across uncolonized tribal land.
I didn't watch the previous video, because it went from an idea of "We're going to the HRE," to "We're actually just going to be playing IN the HRE." Which felt a lot like a switcheroo. At the very least keep the culture and religion in that kind of situation, because after switching religions you may as well have just started as a random prince.
Why u did not wrote it on previous video so? Shit happens, but it takes 5x more attention than good thing, so never write about it again I wanna good aura here
@@belyifon Because I didn't watch the video. I got to the point where he popped over to the HRE, and flipped catholic then stopped watching there. My expectation was that I was an outlier in not liking the video, so I just didn't say anything.
A way to ferry your troops to far away areas without losing ships and troops would be to island hop. A bit micro-intensive, but less grief when all your troops drown and ship die.
honestly I enjoy the concept of taking a nation that has a great idea set but balanced out by being a tribal or 1pm and putting it in a place where it can grow rapidly and see what kind of shenanigans you can come up with - maybe an idea for a future series? or the "fish out of water", like putting ashikaga into the HRE and trying to become emperor, swapping austria and korea and trying to get the mandate of heaven, stuff like that
Since they share ideas and you are still playing one of them you should play Dai Viet too. You skipped it in season D. They only share ideas with Annan and Tonkin who split from them during a disaster and they have unique missions.
About the moving around thing: I think that moving with console command is fine, as long as the nation that we are gonna play as is in a region where we played recently and/or with no clear objective whatsoever. At that time we've recently seen an Inca/Dutch nation so it was fine to move around. Last time, the Aboriginal nation was a lot of time before that, so moving was a little out of the blue (I personally still enjoyed the campaign, but it was a little strange in the beginning)
I am glad to see him struggle starting with Kandy. I got the 2 mentioned achievements in a run recently and it took me several starts before I managed to not get crushed by Vij.
I did like the switching into the here the first time, but not the second. I'd probably like some other switching destination, like Lithuania in Mexico 😜
You have to manually stop at your ports to stop the time at sea attrition from ticking up flat basing rights just expands your trade range and let's you stop at their ports
I think moving nations with the console command/mod is very funny, but I'm not sure it fits an A to Z video. If I were you I'd keep the idea for other videos though, it can make some very funny/interesting videos with the right changes
My strategy with pretty much any colonizing nation east of Africa is to grab the Cape province ASAP. Just the one province gives you an extra merchant and sets you up to make it your primary trade node in the future. Moving on to Ivory Coast is also nice since it cripples the Europeans financially but I know that wasn't really your goal in this campaign.
In our defence, our Men’s team isn’t the best. Our Women’s soccer team is an absolute beast though. They’re the ones to watch. Also some nation you’ve got to do with no DLC
I had to stop trying to play Cotte or Kandy as I didn't wish to go bald from all the hair pulling. Great video, thanks. I was also one of the ones who didn't like that last video, stopped watching after a couple minutes. Didn't want to down thumb it though and there were enough comments already.
Tbh I loved the nations being moved around, makes for an interesting video, since most people would never get to have that experience and it's quite interesting how some ideas turn out. But I guess the people who critizised that, were looking for experiences they could have themselves. Anyway: Great content keep it up, you're my favourite EU4-channel, I always like to watch your videos while eating or travelling, it's just a lot of fun! Keep up the great content, love from Germany!
I always like becoming a pirate as the Sri lanka tags it's I also found the quickest way to found Pirate Somalia... (which is pointless because Somalia gets raiding in their national ideas)
i actully really enjoyed last episode the moving nations really works for natives. their games can get repetitive espcially for North america and australia
Oi, don't be making fun of Canada! We finally qualified for the 2nd time, after 36 yrs. The boys played well against Belgium and okay against Morocco. The team just doesn't have the European football experience and the same skill level. Since we'll be co-hosting in 2026, here's hoping football gains more traction and we get some new talent then! And FUCK YES HAWK, finally Canada is being formed by an EU4 youtuber! I tip my maple syrup bottle and fur hat to you from atop my moose! 🍁 Edit: BRUH.... 21:30 you did that intentionally didn't ya? Doing us fans dirty by forming Quebec, well it's close enuf 🤦♂
I just did "Kandy Cotton". It was surprising easy. Now I´m looking forward for "The Buddhists strike back". I killed Kotte and allied their former ally Bahmanis and defeated with their help Vijayanagar.
Kanem-Bornu's initials are KB so you should make no other nation in Africa have a K or a B in their name (yes that means fight the Mamluks but that's pretty much the worst one)
I know we were hard on you in the last video, but the reason we were upset isn't that you moved a nation, but you converted the religion and chose a damn good province to do it in is all. Great video tho, keep it up.
Yeah I didn’t watch the last video because I felt like it was just a slightly weird HRE game. Something that could be a cool challenge idea might be playing a random nation with random religion in a random continent
Does EU4 have the Tamil Kings as a playable nation? I think it would have been cool to form that and then corner the spice trade to the Middle East or something.
The closest to the Tamil Kings that eu4 has is probably Madurai. It’s a kind of tricky start but it has lots of cores to reconquer and can snowball really well
Hold up...is Hawk Canadian? I've never been able to place his accent because it doesn't sound like anything I've come to know from Europeans. But when he was talking about Canada getting 0 points in the world cup, I could swear I heard a slight bit of Ontario twang in his speech
I don't comment often but I actually do like nation moving, but changing up where the nation moves to would be cool. Its boring af to play as natives and to do it so many times in the same area is even worse. My suggestion, do the random nation selector and completely annex the nation (or just create yourself some reasonable space) so long as it isn't another non-european/african/asian country and then try to play the country as if you were the original owner (ie Muscovy or Rurikovich nation into Russia or where Morocco starts, begin with that native religion and conquer hispania, etc)

surround all of the other lakes in africa
Conquer the Great Lakes trade note in Africa and Make a colonial nation in the Great Lakes
they apparently controlled Fezzan at one point so conquer all the Maghreb and maybe hit up Europe
Conquer Borneo
Because the Kanem Bornu flag has those 2 keys on it, why not conquer the Papal States and Gibraltar because ... their flags also have keys.
> Starts outnumbered naval invasion
> Picks new units
> Loses the battle
stop watching after that lol
well look who it is
"wouldnt it be funny if at the last minute i formed Quebec instead of Canada" that kids is called foreshadowing
Absolute GOAT EU4 content creator. Fair play for listening to the majority of comments on the moving of nations.

Exactly my thoughts. Thought it was goofy to just make it an HRE province.
Why do u guys write about previous video?
I just did not even start watch today’s video, maybe he speak about it too..
I don't care for moving them at all. 🤷 Unless its via colonization like todays, or conquest.
Adding "Let's go to Guantanamo!" to the list of Red Hawk quotes!
I didn't watch the previous video, because it went from an idea of "We're going to the HRE," to "We're actually just going to be playing IN the HRE." Which felt a lot like a switcheroo.

Indeed. We want an Aboriginal Australian Holy Roman Emperor!

Why say that now and not then? Some people man.
Same

The Kannada culture is also present in India, it would have been punny if you saved Canada for Vijayanagar.
There was a historical nation called the Kanem-Bornu Empire so for the campain achieve the Empire Rank.
Since Kanem Bornu is the precursor to Chad, do the Chad move and take the Virgin Islands from (in all likelihood) Portugal.
A way to ferry your troops to far away areas without losing ships and troops would be to island hop. A bit micro-intensive, but less grief when all your troops drown and ship die.
As Kanem-Bornu, since it was basically nowadays Chad and Chad has the same flag as Romania, form Romania
Hey, thank you for listening to our feedback! Don't get me wrong, I love ur videos. I just wan't to see you play eu4 with as much pain as possible
But i want
Totally agree:)
@@belyifon what do you want?
9:50 - "Just got an explorer, let's tell this guy to 'Go home!'"
honestly I enjoy the concept of taking a nation that has a great idea set but balanced out by being a tribal or 1pm and putting it in a place where it can grow rapidly and see what kind of shenanigans you can come up with - maybe an idea for a future series?
or the "fish out of water", like putting ashikaga into the HRE and trying to become emperor, swapping austria and korea and trying to get the mandate of heaven, stuff like that
Hi from Canada! Finally a TH-camr doing a video revolving around it
I thought it was cool you just took the criticism on the chin the way you did. No fuss, just said you heard and moved on. Nice one.
Kanem-Bornu sounds like "can't into borneo" so you should try conquering the entire island of Borneo, so it will be a mix of conquest and colonizing
Since they share ideas and you are still playing one of them you should play Dai Viet too. You skipped it in season D. They only share ideas with Annan and Tonkin who split from them during a disaster and they have unique missions.
Very much honorable how you addressed the opinions of your viewers

kanem born to die, as kanem bornu, convert to any christian faith and beat the ottomans
Forming Canada as an indian tag? Missed the opportunity to flip to Kannada culture
If anything, I appreciate this episode for reminding me of the 2001 song, "I taste just like candy" by Foxy Brown. Always appreciate your videos!
15:10 "we've never really been close to bankruptcy or anything like that"
*flashback to the beginning of the video*
"Well..."
Hey now, Canada even making it to group stage was a big deal you know.
Second time ever, other time in 1986 we didn't even score a goal! Baby steps.
Oh, nice, a Guantanamo colony, perfect for all your prisoners!
usually i stop a campaign when theres no more threats, red hawk stops when there any big threats
I did like the switching into the here the first time, but not the second. I'd probably like some other switching destination, like Lithuania in Mexico 😜
The reason why Portugal and Spain can easily move their troops to the new world is because the AI doesn't experience naval attrition
all your videos are great man. dont stop switiching it up. thanks for all the great content.
You have to manually stop at your ports to stop the time at sea attrition from ticking up flat basing rights just expands your trade range and let's you stop at their ports
and it helps if you give the mission "circumnavigate the globe" to your explorer. Then it stops there itself if needed.
I think moving nations with the console command/mod is very funny, but I'm not sure it fits an A to Z video. If I were you I'd keep the idea for other videos though, it can make some very funny/interesting videos with the right changes

First time seeing your face, that stache is Majestic 👌🏻
Omg i remember this nation i hate it so much i struggled lot to get the cottom kandy one like a year ago
You can do cotton candy pretty quick by deving

Great video, thanks.

as a Canadian, seeing a pseudo dictator in the thumbnail .... saddens me greatly....
At least if Red Hawk put the blackface version we'd have something to laugh at.
@@DankusMemicus couldnt have said it better myself 👏👏👏

Also switching unit models just before fighting, pain
KANEM BORNEO
"I am become Canada, destroyer of worlds"
Just finished both achievements yesterday. It was a brutally difficult campaign (I’m no pro) but very satisfying!
The accidental Quebec was hilarious
You missed a golden opportunity to use that ridiculous picture of tradeu dancing like a ****** in Indian garb while visiting there a few years ago
Loved it just finished
What about, as Naxos, you are a mediteranean Island Nation, so you have to take every Island in the mediteranean Sea.
11:27 batman?
Awesome Canadan run. Kanem Bornu into a Fetishist Egypt would be my vote for Your next!
Lmaooo I'm dying for laughter for when you formed Quebec 😂😂😂
Deving renaissance sucks…but it always increases your power level. So I look forward to it. Especially if I have a good ruler.
ah yes, daily need of red hawk
i actully really enjoyed last episode the moving nations really works for natives. their games can get repetitive espcially for North america and australia
Why not colonize eastward to Panama and then Canada?
Kandy is Quebec, confirmed.

kanem bornu, can you get bern from switzerland idk
Let's gooooooooo
Do you record commentaries for all your failed attempts? You should make a greatest hits of failed attempts, haha.
Missed opportunity with that thumbnail 💀
How about as Kanem Bornu feed all Lake Chad provinces to vassals then try to survive till the video usually ends with the nonsense borders?
Good video!
9:20 think you lost that battle because you switched infantry types just before the battle :(
Re: last video, what about forming Inca with an abo nation?
