    EDIT: I MADE A SECOND PART! - th-cam.com/video/dlAgXZy_77o/w-d-xo.html
    Flat development makes this harder and you can FIGHT ME IF YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY!
    Slightly different style, so let me know what you think! What kind of editing would you like to see etc.? I made this one longer because some people asked for it, so we'll see how you react!
    Any and all feedback is welcome!

      I think there could be a between, 30 min or so videos. Or just do a mix of 10/15 min videos and 40 min ones like this. But you should definitely up the music, I thought it didn't had any for most of the video.

    Epirus was actually the first nation I played in EU4. I was completely new to the game and had no idea what to do. After 8 hours I finally survived the first 15 years and by improving my relations with Aragon I got Malta. After it I migrated to North Africa and left the damn Balkans.
    My next campaign was Byzantium. Guess I didn’t learn from the first experiences :D

    Best Epirus game I've had, started aristocratic ideas, beat back the Otto's after 3 difficult wars, got the cossacks from Crimean land, turned to Jerusalem and by that time could take divine ideas. Turned around and in the same lifetime made two Sicilys and turned to a republic and took Plutocratic ideas. Gotta say, some of the best policies I've ever dreamed of.

    i did a war against otto recently while allied to mamluks... a tiny tunis was involved cos spain had taken most of it... mamluks took the 4 provinces of tunis.. so i gave what i thought was all that land to mamluks cos i didnt want it.. but wierdly i didnt realise mamluks had given the control to me (saxony) so i ended up with it.. i was surprised that mamluks wouldnt want that land right next to them... anyway im glad they didnt want it now cos it made it easier for me to attack spain later on..

    i had an idea how to make the game better with forts & zones of control.. i think forts should have offensive capability. I think coastal forts should have zones of control as well with offensive capability. In ww1, the main reason we couldnt successfully invade gallipoli is because we didnt take control of the seas, their coastal forts (otto) kept damaging our ships (& also sea mines) - My idea is this... you keep the zones of control where you cant enter or pass by the fort (also adding it to coastal sea areas - making coastal forts more useful for building) BUT - the attacker can have the option to ignore the zone of control and try to pass by the fort, taking damage each month until out of the zone of control... ive played strategy games before with this option from 15+ years ago... it is highly unrealistic that an army cant pass by a fort if they so choose

      @@tigrecito48 Dip rep helps you with getting allies (it's 1 of the modifiers) and with anexing subjects. However it's not all. For example you can integrate your personal union after your king dies - the chance is based on diplo rep. This can save some diplo point and time. It also helps gettting PU - another modifier is development.
      About scaling - i think linear but honestly i don't know.
      You can't WC normally just by stacking diplo rep due to 2 reasons:
      you can PU only christian nations.
