In this video titled EU4 A to Z - THE MOST CURSED GAME In EU4 History as France I do a playthrough as France Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of France , and I attempt to conquer all of Great Britain and Ireland, vassalize England and give the region of France to them. So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

Sit afk and only dev and use vassals to expand.
Go ibadi and convert Europe
As Frankfurt do something like a Frankfurtress, where you must create a fort in all/majority of your provinces and only conquer land to make your country shaped like a German sausage
Won't we see French ducal nation? What about these kind of ideas.
As Frankfurt become the top producer of livestock so you can make as many frankfurters as you want.
"france is the most powerful country in the region of france"
Considering the sheer number of other nations in that region it's accurate
not anymore
This has the same vibe as "Russia is located in Russia"
As Frankfurt do something like a Frankfurtress, where you must create a fort in all/majority of your provinces and only conquer land to make your country shaped like a German sausage
This
As a secondary challenge, you could colonize the location of Coney Island, NY where the first hot dog stand opened in the US
We got it boys. This this the one
If you don’t do this, I’ll unsubscribe. Boris Johnson wink wink
RH: "I'm not pronouncing irish names because if I do you'll roast me"
Also RH: *Pronnounces Aix as Ice*
It's AXE dammit. It's also not Alan's Son.
It would be "é", no?
Something like "ex"
@@kumakohai7499 as a french it's more like è + x so ex
This video comes in to my top 3 of the most cursed things i have ever seen in EU4 and i'm playing the game since 2014.
-England and France switching places
-Going anglican as France (church of France)
-And forming Great Britain as France while England still exisists in the french region
Good video tho and 200% entertaining as always.
If you wanted to maximise the cursedness, the next play would be to abandon your overlordship of England, support French seperatists in England and then re-establish France in its home territory.
They changed the 100 years war cb, so as the defender (France) it behaves pretty much the same as a reconquest war, with 25% AE and 75% warscore cost on cores
This is one of the most cursed things I have ever seen in this game. And as a frenchman, this hurts. Thanks, I guess)))
the most agonising part is that france is a reformable nation, so if the ai England knew how to culture shift to Francien it could theoretically form France after you formed Great Britain and just thinking about that puts me in so much pain
Subjects can’t form new nations
@@MilesGilmore you could eliminate all of its non-Francien land to force the culture shift, give it the needed cores, then release it, and it would probably form france
"It's time to swap positions" Red Hawk-2022
these cursed videos are really great and give the series loads of flavour. keep it up!
Easily the best EU4 channel in a long time if not ever, thanks for the entertainment looking forward to the rest of the A-Z
“Whatever the goal was this is a success”
Funniest and most cursed episode so far. Keep it up!
16:10 You can vassalize enemy vassals for reduced AE as well with Excom CB. In addition, it doesn't cost extra diplo mana either.
On that note, wouldn’t a full annex of Provence make Lorraine his subject?
@@WhiteLama yes it would
No. It would not. Lorraine is a PU of Provence. PU rules do not follow vassal rules. Full annexing the primary country just makes Lorraine independent.
@@davidweller483 Oh yeah, they’re a PU!
This was absolutely amazing. Sure, the sight of the map at the end of the run gave me 17 types of cancer, but it's worth it! So cursed!
This is probably my favorite a to z video you made! Absolutely love it keep up the great work!
I'm impressed, that your goals most often end around the 1550s. Good job and thanks for this series, it's so fun!
As Frankfurt, conquer Hamburg, Wien, Braunschweig, and Bologna to become the King of the Meats.
Love it!
Didnt they change the surrender of Maine war to act like a reconquest war for France?
Yes. He must just have forgot. Since it was very recent that they changed how it works I forget sometimes too
@@ldib7798 well it’s still better to declare, because sometimes england will just give maine and then you have a long truce
The entire A-Z series honestly feels like a whole other level of "that one time I don't play in Europe."
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and the guides you make for certain countries are extremely helpful. They’re very easy to follow. I’ve had a bunch of super successful games by just following your advice lol, having even more fun with EU4 now, so thanks.
This may haunt me in my sleep haha. Great video! That outcome looks just so wrong and still so right (when it comes to borders), I love it.
18:39 “AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!”
22:14 the worst disaster of all: being French
Polish-Lithuanian-French commonwealth?!?!?!? That’s hilarious EU4 that actually happened in one of my games but I also got BYZANTIUM?!??!?!?
French king actually ruled PLC for a while so it's historically accurate
That Poland PU over france reminds me when I did my Byzantium into Rome game I got an accidental PU over France 20 years in
It happened to me too without no one contesting lol, I was so surprized
And I only get PU over Serbia.
@@ensvrd I had savoy contest it
That random getting PU'd was the most random twist I've seen in these series
I think this may be my favorite A2Z yet.
Still dreaming of a Coptic Mamluk Holy Roman Emperor. I believe in you, Hawk!
That's ridiculous and I love it! :) Well done Red Hawk!
This a hilariously cursed episode. Keep up the good work, Hawk! 😄
18:38 When the Winged Hussars arrived!
As Frankfurt, there's nothing like making a frankfurter, you should make the map into sausage
- Hey! We don't have any rebels, that's a first!
[ 2 min later]
- Hey, let me reduce autonomy without considering agitation... nothing can go wrong, right?
Red hawk I mean this in the nicest way possible but your a-z vids are my fav cause it always puts me to sleep. Not cause it’s boring but idk somthing about it really helps with insomnia, so thanks a lot :)
It took me way to long to realize Tuscany and Florence share ideas
16:30 When you full annex the overlord, their vasall will become your vasall.
Isn't that only for tributaries?
@@artanisplays3982 if they didn't change it with th last update it's vassals too.
@@TheLibermania ah I see, so it's better to annex all of France instead of vassalizing it
@@artanisplays3982 All of Provence and yes. 😊
@@TheLibermania Vassals but not PU. Lorraine is a PU and would become free if provence is full annexed
16:15 I may be mistaken here, or maybe someone already said it, but I think that if you full annex a nation, as you could've done with Provence, you get all their non-PU subjects for free
No, it is a PU
You're correct, but Lorraine is a PU subject.
@@lys_mara that true, I forgor
you dont have to declare a reconquest war anymore. Patch notes for '1.33 France update':
- The Surrender of Maine event now has a custom casus belli, which acts as an usual Restoration of Personal Union cb for England, but is like a Reconquest cb for France.
The pu shenanigans reminds me of my France game where I pu'd Poland instead of the other way round, and this was late game they had like 210k troops, so it's kinda funny to see that the opposite happened here
For frankfurt, invite ordinary sausage as a guest. Thats it.
As the Soccer Club Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europe League this year, why not conquer some of the privences of their opponents they had to beat?
Like:
- Barcelona
- Glasgow
- Helsinki, as the final game was held there
This is my favourite A to Z idea yet good job
Haha nice, really fun to watch! ❤️
This playthrough isn't just cursed, it is possessed.
If you do that Joan of arc chain as Orleans you can become a theocracy run by females that’s militant or something like that. It’s pretty wild. But you have to own Calais verdun and a few other provinces before the age of reformation or 1520 I think.
Hey RedHawk just wanted to say I love the videos, but I am curious if there is going to be any updates on the vods channel or twitch. While the shorter videos are really fun and engaging the long streams can be really helpful for learning about the game. So yeah, just mainly curious if there are any planned updates to the vods channel like the Prussia to Germany campaign etc.
"I think this campaign is finally going my way!"
*everything proceeds to go downhill*
Holy crap, I can't unsee it now, French Britian and English France...
I often don’t care for burgundy rivaling me as I just cancel the Burgundian rivalry of me as soon as possible and hope they rival the Austrians while improving relations. It helps a lot
I don't think you played with the game files, but I don't know how I never get this event in my entire 400+ hours in this game.
that really is cursed Hawk, you've outdone yourself this time.
15:52 wait, was it independent big Beloozero???
I challenge you to do this challenge again, but move France to Britain, Britain to Spain, Spain to Germany, and Germany to France. Oh, and swap Portugal with Italy too. Now that would be 10/5 level cursed.
beautiful one of the best episodes!
My God this is such a cursed episode, couldn't enjoy it more
That´s the most beautiful and holy thing I have ever seen!
One of the most cursed games of A to Z yet
Those 2 months where Poland was the strongest nation in the world were hilarious
Why are half of the video ideas in A-Z youtube comments "Colonize this place in the middle of nowhere, USA, and form the USA"?
I just realized: you skipped Florence. I guess they don't technically have unique national ideas, in that there is another tag that has them, but I think they should still count for the A to Z.
I guess, he will remember about Florence in season T, where he will have Tuscany in the list.
I don’t remember getting champion of the joust in hundreds of hours of gameplay
Bruh this happened to me as Russia I was just playing a game full of cheats and I still get PU’d by Hungary it was so strange man getting PU’d is the most demoralizing thing that could happen in an EU4 game in my opinion
Yes if Burgundy falls under a pu with someone other than France in the inheritance crisis, then France is transferred overlordship of Nevers
This is my favourite A to Z episode
As Frankfurt you could be the leader of production in grain and cow ( grain to make beer and the cows to make the sausages)
14:34
that is hilarious lmao
that frame at 14:34 made my brain melt from confusion ngl
Stunning success
Forming Great Britain was chef's kiss
I’m playing as France right now
Is it dificult playing France??
@@swagcat6747 no
@@swagcat6747 no, but like every other country, you have to learn the start and expansion routes. Hawk is good at explaing viable options in other videos.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but if you change any of the base files for the game it will prevent you from playing in ironman mode. So I trust you RH!
The fact that you integrated your vassals one at a time is incredibly painful
The end of this video made me angry. Good work, I hate it.
One time I've played as a Poland and I inherited France.. that was wild :D (it was a long time go, one of first versions of EU3)
Impressively cursed, well done.
So many God tier edits this video 👌
France and the Ottomans were allied for a lengthy period, against their joint enemy Austria
After all these cursed games, you deserve a break. Play the Timurids the normal way. Though feel free to choose some cursed ideas like espionage or something :P
This was absolutely as cursed as it should've been
That Milan decision physically hurt
AE doesn’t exist in Ireland, but rebels sure do. Right after i typed that you mentioned the lack of rebels lol
2:16 you made this video a few weeks ago, right. If not, boy do I have news about Boris Johnson for you.
This randomly came into my head, for a challenge, form Great Britain as Brittany. Britain and Great Brittany are similar in the French language
This one is the most cursed yet. Even the Austria one wasn't as cursed XD
When you get to Ottomans you should try conquering the world one tag as fast as you possibly can to make it a challenge.
Bro Boris Johnson stepped down LOL
You won't get black flagged if you are on an ally when you declare. So you can park troops in Scotland and declare after.
As Frankfurt own all of Germany via vassals and Marches while still only having Frankfurt, so you can remain a Free City
This was disgusting. Great job red hawk!
Since you were allied to Scotland and had mil access, you could have started the war with your troops already in Scotland and you wouldn’t have gotten black flagged.
The entirety of Great Britain:
*Licks lips*
Nice Lord of the Rings reference in the event
the end is great :D
dude, that was awesome idea/ach.
The British isles with blue French border colors actually looks kinda sexy ngl
Pain
No S?
@@swagcat6747 yes
Bread
"A Valois is on Frances throne"
How about forming Franconia as Frankfurt, then restoring the Carolingian empire's territories?
I like your video dude! I'm trying to colonize entire north America as Oldenburg but in vain i hope when you get to the O you try that !
that was brilliantly cursed
The event trigger wasn't even on the file he showed lmao
