Recently did Switzerland while playing eu4 with my brother (Bavaria) Wanted to use it to be my "merc run" where I try a merc build, since I see merc builds banned a lot... Yeah I can see why people ban shit like merc ideas now, 1500 and half a million mercs fielded without losing money.
@@wezu4972 Switzerland has special mercenary focused reforms so make use of them. keep in mind that mercs can't be split so use them for battling enemy armies and use your regular troops for splitting and carpet sieging. mercs mostly have infantry so fill their gaps in cavalry and artillery with your regulars. have fun with winning wars with only 1,000 manpower spent!
This video pretty much sums up why Switzerland even exists. I feel the aneurism of a France player trying to take over a mountainous, fortified country lmao.
I've played so much Anbennar recently that like I thought you were talking about Trolls as in like the fantasy race and got confused when Switzerland was there.
probably not from this one as unfortunately I had to be subbed the session after this one and the sub sort-of ruined my game, but i have something way WAY better in store
Reminds me when I was playing as Moscow, and was defending against Poland and Sweden in Eu3, and still won while being alone. Just baited their armies into attrition...
Oh, Switzerland... of course! Other states can do it too, but far later into the game (some government reforms have to take place to enable the merc mechanics)... but yeah, Switzerland is just dummy trolling with this mechanic.
@@Dumdragoon Its been a while since ive played EU4, but ive had a similar strategy revolving around mercs with Oman - a manpower and quality deprived state. Mercs allowed my 200k force limit to obliterate 400k Ottomans at one point. Had to pick some quality based ideas, merc ideas, dump a lot of cash on the merc "slider", add a bunch of cannons to each merc stack and just let them rip. Its nice knowing you can literally conjure up some 50k troops... if you have the money. EDIT: the Swiss are just better at it due to their NIs
are you playing on very hard? cos france has a lot of troops for 1500 if its only normal mode? or does the ai get stronger when there are more than one human player?
@@Dumdragoon no... i play on normal mode and france never has that many troops.. the only time i see nations with huge troops is the one time i tried very hard mode where otto had like 400k troops by 1500.. how would it be satire when ive never played multiplayer nor ever seen any of your videos before?
