As Sistan, you have to become the ultimate Stan country by conquering all the provinces that are owned by modern day stan countries (Kazakstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Afganistan)
Jeez, I just recommended the same goal a couple of minutes late. haha I'd add those EU4 starting provinces with *stan to the combo: Luristan, Moghulistan, Baluchistan.
EU4 is a history game. Sabaton makes music about history, and are from Sweden. As Sweden, conquer the places where their ten most popular songs on Spotify took place: The Last Stand: Roma To Hell and Back: Roma (location of Anzio) and also all of Texas Night Witches: Matrega (the Night Witches were officially named after the Taman peninsula in Matrega) and Azov and Majar (the first places the Night Witches fought) Primo Victoria: Caen Stormtroopers: Verdun (the first battle the Imperial German stormtroopers were used) Soldier of Heaven: Trent Bismarck: Hamburg (where the Bismarck was built) and Ayrshire (where Clydebank, the place the RMS Hood was built, is) Attack of the Dead Men: Podlasie (where Osowiec fortress is located) Red Baron: Breslau (where Manfred Von Richthofen, the Red Baron was born), and Picardie (where he died) Ghost Division: Calais, Artois, Cambray, and Rethelois (where the Battle of France began)
To be honest I had couple of better ideas for the previous episodes but they didn't gain that much popularity, I was surprised that this particular one blew up. I love democracy 😄
Sistan is a vassal of the Timurids, but they are the only vassal that doesn't have the Timurid dynasty on their throne. That clearly means they're the best "heir" to Timur, right? As Sistan, get the True Heir of Timur achievement.
You've earned a (relatively) chill campaign. As Sistan, conquer all regions with the name "-stan" and make it so that no other "-stan" countries exists.
Sistan finishes with stan. So, prove to the entire world who is the best *stan. Take all land that belongs to *stan countries (in 1444 and nowadays) Modern Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan and EU4 Luristan, Moghulistan, Baluchistan. Bonus goal, take KonSTANz (just kidding).
i like how you tried to focus on the goals early on made the video way more interesting. Realistically that goals may as well be a if not world conquest attempt at least its a world domination attemd . Obviously it's easily doable conquer India SEA and China Persia and then start going for the Goals, but that's boring this way with early expo was way more interesting even though I never believed it would be doable that way.
As Sweden, just chill and play the incredible mission tree, but like Queen Christina go Catholic. Alternatively, like Christina first go full Protestant and then become full Catholic.
Good run, enjoyed it, would like to see you come back to it at some point and try this with another nation, maybe it's own series and maybe 10-12 provinces instead of 20
@Luis27215 According to many players (and Red Hawk) it isn't desirable to leave the nation in a good state. Nation ruining is okay as long as it serves the purpose.
The most famous archaeological site in Sistan is Shahr-e-Sukhteh (The Burned City). As Sistan become a great power while burning your cities. (Exploiting development if possible per province). Should be possible you'll just have to out expanded the dev lose every 20 years.
Since the last great kings of Sistan were the Saffarids, honour their founder Ya'qub the Coppersmith by becoming the lead producer of copper, conquering Bagdad, and converting the Rajasthan region to Sunni
An interesting idea with CHAT-GPT, ask for an interesting province to play in EU4. It's should be smart enough to know. But give it a prompt that's better. Because more or less it'll tell you to play the usual top 10 nations to play. Like, "Give me a small list an obscure province no one plays in EU4."
the last Sassanid emperor, Bahram VI fled to Sistan before traveling to China. since his descendants live in Echizen or Echigo, as Sistan conquers Echigo province, after finding the Sassanid prince, reform Eranshahr.
As Sistan, be the best Sis and own the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), Twin Towers (Manhattan), and the british tea brand Twinings (Hampshire in England)
What I really can't wrap my mind around is the fact that for one random province the Ottomans desired (Masawa) they had a -89 opinion penalty which turned them hostile towards you, yet in my Persian Game they have allied Russia who desires all of Crimea but only have -10 opinion penalty And some say the game is not cheating
I feel like you started thinking about the end game provinces waaaay too early. You didn't expand enough in and around your trade node, didn't get enough development for a big army, didn't really ever start snowballing. You probably should have approached it like a World Conquest
As Sistan own all the counties that have -i/stan in their name (or the old Soviet Republics): Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan and Krudistan for good measure.
I feel like you would have had a much easier time if you got the trade together in India/indonesia while colonizing and only then do all the side quests
I forgot to continue the ulm comment streak sooo Day 1 of Asking that when you get to Ulm, conquer all provinces starting with U and have U as a vassal
You really do handicap yourself by not taking ideas like diplo and adm, and by not expanding into good areas (e.g east indies or eating china would've gotten you an easy power base) i know you don't like playing "meta" but you really do save time with those idea groups
Hey redhawk, how about you try aoh3 as it just came out. The game needs as much support as it can get and it is also a one person developed dgame. And it is much bettee than aoh2.

Stan is a song by Eminem. Eminem is from Detroit, Michigan. Conquer the revelant area.
As Sistan, Assist an ally to become a great power that wasn't one previously
As Sistan, you have to become the ultimate Stan country by conquering all the provinces that are owned by modern day stan countries (Kazakstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Afganistan)
Jeez, I just recommended the same goal a couple of minutes late. haha I'd add those EU4 starting provinces with *stan to the combo: Luristan, Moghulistan, Baluchistan.
This is actually a realistic and fun goal instead of some "conquer 20 random provinces that will make you want to die" type slog.
Armenia is the only country that actually has stan in its endonymic name as well iirrc, Hayastan, so armenia too
cant forget Hindustan
Why not also add Baluchistan, Daghestan, Kurdistan, Bashkortostan?
Hell yeah, this is what interactivity with the viewership is like, you madman actually listened to us :D
Always do except when I don't
The goal this time was punishment for your Sindh's
EU4 is a history game. Sabaton makes music about history, and are from Sweden. As Sweden, conquer the places where their ten most popular songs on Spotify took place:
The Last Stand: Roma
To Hell and Back: Roma (location of Anzio) and also all of Texas
Night Witches: Matrega (the Night Witches were officially named after the Taman peninsula in Matrega) and Azov and Majar (the first places the Night Witches fought)
Primo Victoria: Caen
Stormtroopers: Verdun (the first battle the Imperial German stormtroopers were used)
Soldier of Heaven: Trent
Bismarck: Hamburg (where the Bismarck was built) and Ayrshire (where Clydebank, the place the RMS Hood was built, is)
Attack of the Dead Men: Podlasie (where Osowiec fortress is located)
Red Baron: Breslau (where Manfred Von Richthofen, the Red Baron was born), and Picardie (where he died)
Ghost Division: Calais, Artois, Cambray, and Rethelois (where the Battle of France began)
Oh yeah, I can FEEL the depression incoming
I now realize Sweden won’t be for a few episodes
Bruh
@@TheRedHawk Why don't you form Rome while you're at it cuz Sabaton takes you everywhere
All while listening to the Sabaton soundtrack in game!
Hello, as the originator of this random idea I just wanted to say that yes, I am proud of myself
You have now been banned
To be honest I had couple of better ideas for the previous episodes but they didn't gain that much popularity, I was surprised that this particular one blew up. I love democracy 😄
@@bjornhurrdurrsson All our worst ideas blow up. (screams in caliphate portugal)
Sistan is a vassal of the Timurids, but they are the only vassal that doesn't have the Timurid dynasty on their throne. That clearly means they're the best "heir" to Timur, right?
As Sistan, get the True Heir of Timur achievement.
Not bad but I kinda wanna do it with Transoxiana
top rated suggestions be like “Lowkey do a world conquest.”
Real
A video full of pain, lovely
Yeah lovely for you maybe
One can only hope to be as influential as HawkLover69
Definitely one of the fans of all time
You've earned a (relatively) chill campaign.
As Sistan, conquer all regions with the name "-stan" and make it so that no other "-stan" countries exists.
Send this campaign to Zlewik to save the nation.
i've really been enjoying these longer videos
Hawk, lately ı see that your quality has drastically increased. Keep up the good work!
pro tip if you don't have a cb: use your spy network to support rebels and it'll give you a cb when the rebels pop
Since Sistan's name comes from a Scythian tribe, as Sistan go back to the steppes and recreate the borders of the Scythian kingdom.
I have been loving your videos man! This is what the Roman’s must have felt like watching gladiators fight lions and somehow enjoying it!
Huge props to you for actually picking and attempting this goal, you really are a rockstar to your audience ❤
You should send your savegame and goals to Zlewikk for his "ruined campaigns" series. See if he can complete it.
Definitely this. Great idea
This is my favourite video/ challenge that I've watched of you.
Sistan, more like Sustan! Leave Persia behind conquer the Maghreb move your capital to sus and then humiliate England/GB
Sistan finishes with stan. So, prove to the entire world who is the best *stan. Take all land that belongs to *stan countries (in 1444 and nowadays) Modern Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan and EU4 Luristan, Moghulistan, Baluchistan. Bonus goal, take KonSTANz (just kidding).
Not the call out on Habibi and Florry 😂
You did a great job Hawk. Very entertaining and inspirational. Looking forward to the next video!
Phenomenal video, great series

Sistan? I thought you said Sistine!
As Sistan become papal controller while owning Rome.
“What are you doing, Steppe-Sistan?”
As Sistan, form a horde and own all Steppes provinces.
Make sure to attack from behind
As Sweden, just chill and play the incredible mission tree, but like Queen Christina go Catholic.
Alternatively, like Christina first go full Protestant and then become full Catholic.
I pray you come back to this at some point and finish it off.
Good run, enjoyed it, would like to see you come back to it at some point and try this with another nation, maybe it's own series and maybe 10-12 provinces instead of 20
Sistan is the nation of sisters. Conquer Orleans then, since they can have the special governement with female rulers
I've had the same reaction as you said the provinces! You read them once and i bloody remembered even their numbers
As Sistan, conquer Philadelphia and name it Philadelfia (City of Sisterly Love, the Greek work “adelfi” means “sister”)
Ngl only seen the intro so far and pretty hyped about this.
I wish you had tried to charter company some of the provinces in Europe.
Protential Parabellum Challenge: Iron Curtain
Have the most independent nations within your borders. No subject, PUs, trubitaries, etc
Conquer without hesitation. Release vassals, break the vassalizations, success.
@TheLibermania that would be better but let's be honest playmaker would just revoke privilege
@@Luis27215 Oh right, professionals can do that.
@TheLibermania rip prestige

4:01
He has decided to happily and enjoyably take on the challenge! We are truly blessed. 🙌
"I've decided-... I want to die"
@@deadlyknights1119 I was being sarcastic here btw. If you didn't notice.
Red Hawk... it seems we have to "Sindh" you everywhere this time..... heheh
I'll see myself out.
It was completely fair to call the game under those circumstances, but I almost miss the classic all-in from the beginning of the series lol
your chaotic gameplay makes me want to play EU4 again... But I am unsure about DLCs nowadays
Get the subscriptions. All DLCs for 7 Euro per month ans cancel it after the first month when you lose interest.
Since the last great kings of Sistan were the Saffarids, honour their founder Ya'qub the Coppersmith by becoming the lead producer of copper, conquering Bagdad, and converting the Rajasthan region to Sunni
This would make a great idea for a new series: Conquer n randomly generated provinces as a random nation
"Who I am gonna fight is YOU" -- Hawk @ 44:25
Real reason you can remember all them provinces after reading them just once is, things that cause us pain are very hard to forget.
You should use this challenge in the next Para Bellum, it looks like fun!
An interesting idea with CHAT-GPT, ask for an interesting province to play in EU4. It's should be smart enough to know. But give it a prompt that's better. Because more or less it'll tell you to play the usual top 10 nations to play. Like, "Give me a small list an obscure province no one plays in EU4."
Spain got entire South America. Thats the reason they are so powerfull and rich. Real bad luck. Good job!
As malindi, conqueror Sweden (their flags look the same, there can only be one true flag)
I want to see you gamble, so as Sistan your goal should be to get a ruler with at least 16 monarch points
I believe the main reason for you remember all of this provinces is trauma
the last Sassanid emperor, Bahram VI fled to Sistan before traveling to China. since his descendants live in Echizen or Echigo, as Sistan conquers Echigo province, after finding the Sassanid prince, reform Eranshahr.
Hawk, you did get all the required provinces on all the continents except Europe, so that is almost a win (5 out 6).
I know these longer challenges are pain for Hawk but it means we get these longer videos to enjoy so 😅
As Sistan, own the Sistine Chapel (conquer Roma, convert catholic and become papal controller)
The province in South America... 3:50 I live there hahahahah born and raised
Rio Grande do Sul mentioned! Pampa, bombacha, chimarrão, costela de chão!
honestly not as bad as i expected it to be to be honest
Thanks for another great video, always keeping them coming and engaged with your viewers. Best Paradox channel there is!
This man is so ready for EU5.
As Sistan, be the best Sis and own the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), Twin Towers (Manhattan), and the british tea brand Twinings (Hampshire in England)
funny thing hawk, i live near a province you needed (Rio Grande do Sul)
What I really can't wrap my mind around is the fact that for one random province the Ottomans desired (Masawa) they had a -89 opinion penalty which turned them hostile towards you, yet in my Persian Game they have allied Russia who desires all of Crimea but only have -10 opinion penalty
And some say the game is not cheating
It'd be very funny if paradox made this an achievement in EU5
I feel like you started thinking about the end game provinces waaaay too early. You didn't expand enough in and around your trade node, didn't get enough development for a big army, didn't really ever start snowballing.
You probably should have approached it like a World Conquest
If you do a random province challenge again, you should say 5 you must have and another 15 out of 20, so you can have a choice or 20 out of 25.
Sistan was part of Alexander the Greats empire so honour him and re-establish its borders with them.
This is exactly why I love you (or in love with you idk)
As Sistan own all the counties that have -i/stan in their name (or the old Soviet Republics): Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan and Krudistan for good measure.
Can you please do a guide on England to form GB
Humanist??? Humanist???!!!! You know what it's your game your rules. Just have Fun My man
22:13 ottomans guaranteeing venice? 💀💀💀
now you have to upload the save as "save my campaign" and let other EU4 youtubers get a try on it
I feel like you would have had a much easier time if you got the trade together in India/indonesia while colonizing and only then do all the side quests
good video
You deserve a more relaxing game after this one. As Sweden get the "sweden is not overpowered" acheivement and form scandinavia!
Dude! Just no cb some nation in Tibet, vassalize, and you can core stuff next to them!😂
Honestly you could've just done a world conquest at this point and it would've been less taxing
This should be fun
You could have used a random number generator instead of having ChatGPT burn down a forest
8 views and no commetns in 1 minute, its Joever.
but in all seriousness, thanks for doing all this you've provided actual years now of entertainment!
How the hell did Bahmanis have medium enthusiasm with 90% warscore and the whole country sieged?
Amazing
(15:34) RS is my home.
You really did it! Amazing!
I'd just world conquer 😂
Switch your main culture to one of the italian cultures because you're Si-stan!
Forgive me Lord, for I have Sindh...
Form as a Daimyo JAPAN & conquer all provinces which was controlled by the Japanese Empire while the 2. World War.
Pain.
TheWetGawk
I forgot to continue the ulm comment streak sooo Day 1 of Asking that when you get to Ulm, conquer all provinces starting with U and have U as a vassal
Bless me Father for I have Sindh.
