yo what about your Lithuanian bros? Like saving Poland? you mean the polish-LITHUANIAN Commonwealth..... I didnt knew you hated your brothers....... anyways you cannot into space now!
I would like to see that too. Prussia is small enough to be annihilated in 1 war, Austria and Russia after 2 more partitions may still survive but they would be screwed.
@@Vatra91 I mean, they pulled it off more or less for a couple hundred years. No one could have won a 3v1 like that, with Fredrick the Great and Catherine the Great on team partitioners...
I think one of the most interesting non-1444 campaign will be Prussia in Seven years war. There was Prussia, which was fighting in one moment with Russia, France, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Saxony, controlling Poland, and other countries
I was thinking the same, but siding as the France. 'cause my Canadian hood got left over to Brits during that war. IMO, mainly because Russia gave back to Prussia when they were winning, causing France to fight and lose.
@@chilln0648 it would have to be in the seventeen hundreds start date, since the country is on the verge of ruin. It would also encourage players to play in different starting dates
Great concept, not often seen. To bad PDX doesnt pay much attention to the other starting dates, otherwise you could make a series about different starting dates.
tbf, I think they should stop doing alternate starting date, may be keep some like Ck. The thing is, it probably took a lot of time to do every starting date, they should have focus on 3-4 and develop them more
Funfact: many Poles fled to the Ottoman empire when their country was partitioned. Some joined as the Polish legion, 20k strong, and would fight against Russians.
I guess Zlewikk will talk about how historical Commonwealth rulers never gave privileges to estates (big mistake) in this saving disastrous save games episode.
I've subscribed to the channel recently and at the beginning of my Byzantium campaign I got 6/6/6 heiress and no hunting accident. She lived quite long.
I just love your way of bringing justice to polish interests , while not being cocky or arrogant or salty - but actually interesting, funny and informative! Greetings from your neighbour in berlin
I would love to see different starting dates from your playthroughs :) Perhaps try playing as Morea and rebuild Byz. borders during Justinian? Or the time when Prussia was basically fighting all of Europe´s major powers.
The Great Northern war would be interesting also, I think if someone creates the world and sends him the save with the history explained he might do it.
Wow I had no idea that radical reforms event fires depending on your advisors. Honestly this is what sets you apart from many other creators, this isn’t just “pick a discipline advisor if possible” or “choose whatever agenda suits you” but you actually provide expertise
We need Zlewikk as the new king of Poland ! (or, as a french, I would prefer as a french marshall like Jozef Poniatowski). Fun fact: there is still a Poniatowski family in France, 2 of them, Ladislas and Axel Poniatowski are politicians. Another fun fact is that Axel was born in Morocco (as his father worked as a diplomat there). And a third fact is that the father of these two people, Michel Poniatowski, was a in the Résistance in WW2. Last fact for today, Napoleon, during his exile in Saint Helena said about Poniatowski: "le vrai roi de Pologne, c'était Poniatowski ; il en réunissait tous les titres et en avait tous les talents" which means: "the real king of Poland was Poniatowski; he united all the titles and had all the talents".
This was a fun one! I actually live near a county in Indiana, named after another Pole who came to the United States to fight in the Revolutionary War - Tadeusz Kościuszko. The county seat? Warsaw.
I at first thought you would begin playing after the second partition of Poland. XD (Ever so slightly disappointed you didn't do it.) But it was an interesting and informative video nonetheless!
Another great video, thank you Zlewikk! This historical disaster game was very unique and interesting, so i hope you will continue these type of campaigns. I think maybe the Ottomans after the siege of Vienna, so the 1683-1699 period would be very fun, and a true saving the disaster game! 😁 Greetings from Hungary, Polak, Wegier, dwa bratanki... ! 👊🇵🇱🇭🇺
This is a fun idea! Here's a suggestion: start as Netherlands in 1672, that's pretty much the definition of a ruined campaign, the situation is pretty dire. I'm curious to see if you can turn it around!
Come here boyos, Zlewikk doesn't only teaches us how to play but also teaches about history that I never learned about in the school. Love historical content.
Great video, pretty good content. I liked the idea and the history anecdotes. On the other hand, the video also shows how dull the late game is in EU4. The extremely weakened Pols sieged down Vienna and Pest while the Austrian army was running around like chickens and then they are completely fine with giving away two of their most important imperial cities.... :DD and then the Russ march their complete army to the far east to handle some Siberian tribe meanwhile leaving their empire defenseless... makes perfect sense... That is pretty much why most of my games end around 1700...
I actually did know of Polish general Poniatowski becaue of EpicHistory TVs Napoleonic Wars series (great series for eu4 fans because its kind of similar topic- Poniatowski was not only the first (and only if i recall correctly) marshal of Napoleonic france, but he also was one of the best- forming a rearguard in russia and keeping the army safe (from the russians not the winter). He sadly met his end at Lipzig in 1813, preforming an admirable job in the retreat until the only bridge across a river was blown up. TDLR: Watch Epic History TV's napoleonic series / Poniatowski was a legend
Another suggestion for this series: the Netherlands in 1672. That year is known as the "Disaster year". The country got attacked from all sides and also internally there was a lot of struggles. I think it would be quite a tricky start.
Nieironicznie jeden z ciekawszych odcinków kiedykolwiek. Świetny zamysł i przyjemnie się oglądało. Mógłbyś kontynuować z tego miejsca do 1821 i spróbować zbudować jak najsilniejszy kraj się da?
I really loved this idea! I think the historical facts about Poland are really interesting. Also, Ottomans allied to GB? I guess they lost the historical aspects there xd...
I would love to see you play as Prussia in the Seven Years War as Frederick the Great and win the war. I tried playing the start date myself one time, Frederick is I think a 6/6/6 ruler and has amazing pips. Very challenging but fun too.
Hey Zlewikk I really really loved this one, it's an awesome concept! Could you consider making a "Can I save Venice from being destroyed by the Ottomans" (or something like that, I'm Italian so I'm biased but the history is pretty cool since the venetians held back the Ottomans for a while at first but then got munched on by them and then inglobed by the austrians in 1797 xD). Anyway, keep it up dude!!!
Great that you mentioned Józef Poniatowski. There's a great documentary on Epic History TV channel that's called Napoleon's Marshals, Ranked. It's incredibly detailed and well done, highly recommend for every history buff.
Love it ! You should do an ottoman 1683 too. However, it would have been better to start with the beginning of the wars so you won't have time to prepare yourself.
Theres another startdate I once tried as the Ottomans mid 1600s, where they were also behind in tech, their army quality was shit compared to Persia and they were loosing a lot of money too. I can't remember which date exactly tho
Very cool and unique video Zlewikk! I think that you should try saving Hungary in 1526 as historically we suffered the defeat of Mohács that year and the dreams of greatness for Hungary ended for the following centuries to come. Would be interesting to see what you could pull of in that scenario (note: Hungary is even a lesser partner of Bohemia)
Maybe you could try winning the 7 years war as Prussia. Not really sure how tough it would be but you could also do some bonus objectives like getting 100 warscore or something.
The Rampjaar 1672 Netherlands, the disaster year when the Dutch Republic faced France, Britain, Munster and Cologne in a war could be a cool scenario for this. Not sure how well it'll work with EU diplomacy though
As important as Pulaski may have been to the US revolutionary war, in the States these days the only foreign officers that really get mentioned are von Steuben and Lafayette. At least, that's the case here in North Carolina.

They really weren't playing the meta
in reality they gave too many priviliges to the nobility, and had too low crownland which made the provinces have too much autonomy :)

You gotta save Sweden in the great northern war in 1701 or which ever start date it was! It had so much potential...
wasn't Sweden winner at the war beginning?
Its easy as Sweden, just dont go to Ukraine like they did in real life.
Casimir Pulaski is a cool guy. I got a day off school every year thanks to him. I live in Illinois where Casimir Pulaski Day is a public holidy

inflation:
