Just started my first campaign in Napoleonic War, chose Prussia because my great grandparents were Prussian immigrants and I’m having more fun then I expected. Allied the Russians so I didn’t have to worry about my Eastern side and right now I’m making Napoleon regret he ever declared war on me
Looking forward to this, whenever I play as prussia (my favourite) I always find there's some trigger point and EVERYONE just decides "right, that's enough of prussia". Admittedly that is on darthmod.
When looking at your Ministers you should right click on them your not seeing their bonus stats(charactor traits like your genrals) that can completly change them if you move them to more suitable position also can you plz press spacebar when moving your troops etc lol READ what you need for Drill School
the space bar thing does kill me a bit. its agony watching the troops\ships move so slow. i really do not feel it would detract or hinder in any way the video content.
If I remember what I learnt in GCSE history classes many years okay correctly - Napoleon changed the national animal of France from the Gallic rooster to the imperial eagle. 🦅
I gave this some time to get ahead, and now, let the binging begin! Excellent start, econ first is always a good strat.. and food :) and cavalry lol the list grows
I think Saxony would be an easy take and build national morale. We desperately need warships to protect our merchants or they will be picked off by marauding frigates.
It looks like I will never find out what happened at the end of the last series. Usualy I get notifications when you post a video. I thought that as it was a bank holiday you were having a week off.
I just found your video and since I have always enjoyed Napoleon I gave it a look One thing that you can do on turn one is take Saxony and Mecklenburg before they are allied with anyone getting you and extra trade port in Mecklenburg and trade tech like fire and advance [which is worthless ] with Austria / Briton for tech you want .I have enjoyed your campaign and plan on watching more of your Prussian saga thanks for your great work
"In the realm of forest and snow, they said Russia could never be conquered"... Listen French guy, I know you may be one of the most famous startegiest to ever live, but Russia legitimatlly never been conquered, or at least not in 1812... weird little Intro on Sega's part to include that little line, at least in a historic context
Prussia was my favourite country to play as it was probably the most challenging , surrounded as it is by nearly all the major powers. Historically France had taken Hanover from Britain (George III was its Elector) while Cleves had been Prussian since 1701 (technically the French had taken it in 1794 and Prussia didn't get it back until 1815). Taking Hanover and uniting your lands is a good first move but it will bring France and its allies against you which will see the Dutch threatening Cleves first so make certain that army can hold on. If the Austrians and Russians do well in Bavaria you won't have to worry too much of a French reaction as they will be focused in Southern Germany and Northern Italy. Taking the Batavian Republic is your best aim as taking that gives you Amsterdam and its massive port which allows you to explode your trade capacity. Taking Flanders is a good buffer and then you have a threat against France itself. The wealth here far exceeds anything the small German states can offer and you are not alienating more and more countries while you are weaker. As always try to avoid more than one front to fight. Besides Louis Ferdinand and Blucher your generals are old and tired and not very good until late in the campaign (1810+). Saxony and Hesse can be a pain to take and it will alienate the Austrians who are just vindictive enough to try and win the Seven Years War and invade Silesia so think very carefully before attacking Saxony. Basically watch how the Coalition armies are doing in Southern Germany and get your armies ready on the Hanoverian border while fortifying Cleves. Take Hanover, unite with the Cleves army and push on to Amsterdam. Take the Batavian Republic then try and go to peace with France to allow you to consolidate your new acquisitions before France gets around to declaring war on you again. Good Luck
You should take down Saxony. It is a good income but they start alot if revolts in the begining but if you have troops and improve their administrativ building they will be fine. Gunsmith makes it cheaper buying troops. Can you watche the build browser in Berlin? What to see what buildings you have 😊
IRL, the British made the best ally for Prussia(they loaned Prussia a lot of money). Don't know if the game reflects this. Russia would be second for me as an ally. Clip Austria and smash France(in order to secure the German States)when ready.
This is going to be a LOT more difficult than the last play thru with the UK. Hopefully you won't be defeated as many times as the Prissians were in real life...
That means conqueror right? I’m on a hour long search trying to figure out what the advisor meant by annexing independent Herman states? I was thinking it was a diplomatic mechanic but I think it’s flavor text for March an army over there and take them?
You need to crush Saxony in the first turn with your Army in Brandenburg. Wait too long and all kinds of alliances are in place.. Now attacking the smaller German states will drag Austria in a war you can’t afford.
I’m sure this has been answered as I’m a little late to the game but the Gallic Rooster is the French national animal. It is the symbol of the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning coq, or rooster (apparebtly, the Romans thought the Gauls looked like they had ‘chicken heads’) Coolest national animal is definitely ours (🏴). Scotland’s national animal is, and this is true, the unicorn 🦄
🦅 Preußens Gloria! I’m jumping onboard for this campaign. I sadly missed your British adventures. I would watch Austria and Russia closely. Being either too weak or too aggressive will entice them to attack you. I’m not sure immediately going straight at France is the best option, as your troop options and most of your generals are Seven Years’ War types and Napoleon’s are modern. It seems the better option would be to either go after the Dutch (💰money!!) or try to unify the independent German states (⚡️💪🏼power!!). The Dutch might embroil you with France, the German states (non-French controlled) might entangle you with Austria or Russia. You should concentrate your forces in one direction, aim for a quick war, and quickly sue for peace upon victory (or if things are dire). Gott mit uns!
I like to drop the taxes on the lower class from the start. Also upgrade roads in every province. This promotes growth. What's left of the $6000 on the first turn I upgrade the farms, limber camps etc. As they appear as growth continues I keep upgrading them. You don't have much money to start with but it pays off. With the armies you start with you are still able to make some gains on Saxony Hannover etc without too much trouble. Try not to recruit too many troops as you need this money for upgrading the buildings. Once your growth has produced you a lot of new buildings you will start seeing an ok profit. Put the lower classes tax back up to medium and this profit will x3 You'll be making bank.

The ß (Sharp S) is a german character to combine the S and Z sounds. Just pronounce it as a Double S and you wil be alright!
Can’t wait to see more of this campaign from Prussia. Thanks for the interesting content and for your work on this series.
Looking forward to this, whenever I play as prussia (my favourite) I always find there's some trigger point and EVERYONE just decides "right, that's enough of prussia". Admittedly that is on darthmod.
I'm making a prediction, but I sense a possibility to create a unified Germany long before Bismarck with this game...maybe an idea?

Yes! So pleased to see this in my feed. 😊
The Swedish army is stationed in their lands called Swedish Pomerania 😊
Love it and you're doing something different this is interesting :)
Any chance we get an updated intro with the Prussians as well? Glad to see a new series!

The time has come.Executed Preußland campaign

Something happened to his PC and he lost a lot of game files and one of them was that previous Series
Yeah sadly corrupted OS on C drive, ended up wiping the drive and reinstalled windows so lost everything sadly
I believe the Prussians used the Prussian Thaler until the 1850s
Secure the smaller single nations and Denmark if you can. Will help build the navy as well as army to take our France!

Oh ja! The prussian campaign is the most challenging one.
at 48:40 Cock or Rooster? But Sharpe captured an imperial eagle!
This is going to be a LOT more difficult than the last play thru with the UK. Hopefully you won't be defeated as many times as the Prissians were in real life...
prussian campaign, NOICE!
poland lithuania is an F'ing pain in this campaign.
Too early to attack France. Try and unite Germany first. Looking forward to future episodes!
That means conqueror right? I’m on a hour long search trying to figure out what the advisor meant by annexing independent Herman states? I was thinking it was a diplomatic mechanic but I think it’s flavor text for March an army over there and take them?
I'd definitely start with going for a unified Germany
@taffinexile Pls use Preußens Gloria for the intro
possiby if I can find a non copywrite version
nice 😀
Go for Saxony & Hesse first not France .. wait until you get your trade ships in place first !
You need to crush Saxony in the first turn with your Army in Brandenburg. Wait too long and all kinds of alliances are in place.. Now attacking the smaller German states will drag Austria in a war you can’t afford.
Are you continuing the British campaign as well?
Due to a Windows corruption Issues he has lost the save file for the british campaign.
Für den Kaiser!

no Darth Mod?
Well you shocked me last time when you lopped off the british kings head ! 😅
Here we go what will you do ? 😊
🤔
it's NOT mucklenburg, its mecklenburg!
I like to drop the taxes on the lower class from the start. Also upgrade roads in every province.
This promotes growth.
What's left of the $6000 on the first turn I upgrade the farms, limber camps etc. As they appear as growth continues I keep upgrading them.
You don't have much money to start with but it pays off.
With the armies you start with you are still able to make some gains on Saxony Hannover etc without too much trouble.
Try not to recruit too many troops as you need this money for upgrading the buildings.
Once your growth has produced you a lot of new buildings you will start seeing an ok profit. Put the lower classes tax back up to medium and this profit will x3 You'll be making bank.
Hey mate, which campaign mode is this in Napolean?
Got it, sorry!
Mine has stopped working on STEAM due to Windows 11 is there anyway to fix this?
Just fyi the playlist title needs correcting.
