So how did you deal with: Siena allying with Austria and Pope Lucca allying with Genoa and Austria Ferrara allying with Venice, France and Pope Pope allying with Austria, France, Ferrara, Siena, Poland, Timurids and Ming Because this is the first month of every Florence start I've seen.
Also, make your attitude towards Lucca and Siena friendly so they're less likely to join a trade league. Also, bring in baguette to crush Genoa and Venice (like I did), the French units are always the most OP early-mid game.
Oh yeah, and for Pope, you need a reasonable amount of luck for that as well. Not gonna lie, without southern Naples and the Mediterranean Islands, my run would pretty much have been 3x harder
Half Germany was a territory of the empire and during the period of the general GERMANICUS the other half was a puppetized by the Roman Empire, and they still puppets for more then 100 years
Potato Douche I like how every european country refer himself as a roman empire even though no one of them is even close to roman empire. Only thing italy have close to roman empire is a Rome . Only thing Byzantium have close to roman empire is a rulers. Romania HRE Rum and Russia is not even a joke
Byzantium was the Eastern Roman Empire and while the Western Roman Empire collapsed to Barbarians the eastern roman empire just sat there. Also they held Rome for a bit
Pippo ne sa parecchio You know western civilization mostly comes from the Romans, right? Without Christianity, basically nothing different would have happened. Except for Northern Europe still believing in old religions and being slightly more aggressive. And maybe they wouldn't have ended up slaughtering the Native Americans of South America, but that's a good thing. The Romans before Christianity became state religion actually tolerated other religions, you know.

You restored Rome, congratulations! You even conquered areas that the 1st Roman Empire never conquered, too bad you ran out of time or else you could've conquered Germany. Now though, the French and British controlled large territories in the Americas which sets the stage for a future cold war.......
Nah, when you're that powerful anyone else is a joke. He could easily launch a naval invasion against a smaller colony and start expanding, eventually seizing the New World.
this guy restores the roman Empire and I cannot get to the caribbean with castile in the proper time. The only game of Paradox where I don't suck is cities skylines...
You are able to take so much land at even the start of the game.. Overextension and Coring costs must have ruined your country but you kept going on? How!!
Florence has really good monarch and is rich. If you get good alliances, you can quickly be unstopable. It's only real treath is the papal state as an excommunication can ruin your game. If you ally the papal controler, you are in good shape.
2:49 Great Britain, United France, Russia, Commonwealth, Italy. The gang's all here. usually someone implodes by the time a couple of these guys appear. Edit: wow even Ethiopia is here.
I remember... first time came here, and i thought, will I be able to achive this ever? Well my dear friend of the past, you were able to do it and with byzantium even. Do never think something is imposible for you.
You were extremely lucky with Aragon and Naples breaking away from Castille. In my try Spain was formed really quickly and now half of Italy is in their hands, I have an Alliance with them but still their lands are not available for me 😅
Form a nation that surrounds the mediterranean sea and it just looks so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Color it red and name it the Roman empire and it looks even better.
The final Italian idea is coring cost reduction -25%. That is incredibly strong, when it is synergized with Admin ideas. From that you gain -50% coring cost reduction by the time you have finished three idea groups. That will save you a massive amount of admin points, but also if you go with Admin you get -10% to admin tech. I am currently doing a Italy playthrough and I literally went Admin, then Defensive and then Economic. One might think that it is a bit much to go with 2 admin idea groups early and I disagree especially as Italy, because you aren't going to expand that rapidly and when you do it should be through vassals.
how did you deal with the hre lands? i dont understand how annexing Sienna, Lucca and Ferrara doesnt trigger Austria to denounce ilegal possesion of lands. what i did to not fall on that is just vassalizing opm's AND annex them later on. i know its inneficient but :/
How is this even possible... i tried this with milan and i suffered so much aggressive expansion that i could never take more than 2 provinces at a time without a coalition forming against me. At some point i was fighting the ottomans too, they were about the same size and i simply could never take more than 6 provinces from them. Here i see you taking like 15 provinces from the ottomans and 6 provinces from naples without any problems. Is there some strategy i am missing out on? i am quite new so i don't understand how you can take so many provinces without coalition.
what version are you playing that you can take that much land after a single war?? i play the normal version without mods and i can never take more than 3-6 provinces without forming acoalition against me. even if i have conquered half the world^^
Have you double-checked your army composition? I ask because mine tends to emphasize infantry even into the 1700s because it is generally better to have a large number of stacks that can operate independently and without taking huge amounts of attrition. Those stacks are incredibly weak against France or the Ottomans, though, because their stacks are always big enough to include significant artillery. If you find that your troops are just paper even in the best case, then you can always try sitting back and letting them bleed on your mountain forts until the problem is a little more tractable (i.e. someone else jumps them or their manpower simply runs out).
EU4's france is way weaker than historical france, consider that in our timeline, austria got all of spain and burgundy, controlled the HRE completely unlike how the HRE works in EU4, and that on top of being constantly invaded from all sides by the HRE, burgundy, lowlands, Spain, Austria Hungary, and the United Kingdom, despite all of that France not only survived, but also GREW and took land, even though the habsburgs+UK spent 800 years trying to invade them. Resulting in France having more military victories than any other country on earth in all of history, so it's a given france should be strong, it's very historical
What CB did you use on Naples and Scotland/Ireland or did you no CB war them?? I thought you couldn’t fab unless they were neighbouring by land or a sea tile?
For Naples, I fabricated against them (Siena shares a sea border with Naples + the Fabricating claims next to claims thing for the Discovery Age). For Scotland/Ireland, I used Imperialism.

If I may make one suggestion, perhaps it would be prudent to pause the replay every so often to explain what is happening in your major wars. It adds to the story of your game and makes it easier to follow what is happening in the timelapse. These seem to be in a similar style as Dovska's timelapses, so I would suggest looking at some of the things he does for his. I wouldn't suggest going into near the depth he does unless you are really passionate about these videos, but adding some of the aspects he uses for his videos would definitely improve upon yours.
Gustav Kuriga I indeed take heavy inspiration from Dovska's videos. If you look at my past videos, they have war scenes in them. Upcoming videos should have them as well :)
I see, so this was more of an exception then? Either way, I'm glad of that. I'm also glad to see more EU4 youtubers doing timelapses of this style, as while they take more effort, are much more satisfying to watch. It feels more like you're seeing the rise of a nation rather than just someone painting across the map in a game.
How in the world, were you able to take so much land from Spain, France etc., in single wars, and not get a huge amount of aggressive expansion? How were you even able to pay the admin fees to core all that land?
You take land without reason, everyone can paint a map of Roman Empire, but the empire builded for a reason, that what you have to do if your goal is to reform the empire!For example the expansion in Iberian coast is vital for the genovese trade, but Ireland and Scotland?But, in the end this is your game!
Same whenever I play any European nation west of Poland. Everyone always allies some nation 5x your size, and the AE makes it so that by thy time you get to do anything you've already Alt+F4'd and stopped playing for a month.

Lucca allying with Genoa and Austria
Ferrara allying with Venice, France and Pope
Pope allying with Austria, France, Ferrara, Siena, Poland, Timurids and Ming
Because this is the first month of every Florence start I've seen.
My answer? Pure luck. (And not setting Siena and Lucca as a rival)
Also, make your attitude towards Lucca and Siena friendly so they're less likely to join a trade league. Also, bring in baguette to crush Genoa and Venice (like I did), the French units are always the most OP early-mid game.

quick question, does forming Italy give you the generic Italian ideas, or the better ones that it says in the wiki?
Fluid Synergy it gives the better ones, not the crappy generic ones
okay good, I've been playing Naples into Italy and wasn't sure if I wanted to take the ideas, since they're both labeled as just Italian Ideas
Didn't knew that. Thank you!
Tuscan ideas are better than both italian ones, especially militarly
The final Italian idea is coring cost reduction -25%. That is incredibly strong, when it is synergized with Admin ideas.

If you find that your troops are just paper even in the best case, then you can always try sitting back and letting them bleed on your mountain forts until the problem is a little more tractable (i.e. someone else jumps them or their manpower simply runs out).
