Enlisted and EU4 are my favorite games. The fact Enlisted has an official ad here makes me genuinely happy. Can't recommend it enough, I discovered it literally through a similar ad and have been loving it ever since. It was the only game I genuinely enjoyed in, like, the last 10 years since the release of EU4 and CK2.

The first time you razed stuff, I was thinking that the game really needs a "raze all" button, cause it also annoys me having to click on every single province to do it.
I understand why you took humanist because if anyone remembers the Chagatai A-Z then you'll understand, its so traumatic for hawk he doesn't even remember it I've never seen so much rebels before it was crazy.
I don't like how steppe warfare is either, it boils down to carpet siege rushes by the AI. The new world with the tribal land system might be good to implement on the steppe, reducing the number of settled provinces means that steppe soldiers will be bleeding each other dry rather than rushing for provinces. That would be an interesting mod.
If I'm not mistaken "Z" is the shortkey for razing so instead of clicking the button everytime to raze once you clicked on the province you can use "Z" and "C" combo to utilize the shortcuts. It's way easier and quite helpful for any horde nation.
Hawk, the reason you always have manpower issues is because attrition is killing your armies. Your stacks are way too big. Your full army should be split in two, three or fours. Then have them move next to each other. That way you can siege faster. And if there is a battle then just gather your armies, which should be nearby. Follow the logistics cap, it's usually something like 20,30,40 and so on as you get techs.
Yeah this is one of those things you know you CAN do but most don’t bother cause it’s just not worth the micro against bots. It’s just a dumb mechanic overall considering the AI is almost completely unaffected by it but at the same time you’ll lose almost every time unless you have a full back line of cannons, which is almost always going to be 2x or more over the supply limit.
Watching this after having tried to play as Mongolia myself, I realise just how skilled Red Hawk is at the game and how much is still have to learn about the game
In normal dificulty so far I use to Leeroy Jenkins Oirat by myself. You can beat their armies one by one and soon enough Ming declares on Oirat. Usually Oirat will either have no allies or just Sarig Yoqir.
Ming blows up through the event "Crisis of the Ming Dynasty", which can only fire if there is no other disaster. Since Ming had "Unguarded Nomadic Frontiers" the whole time it never blew up. Also, you can avoid the stab hit from breaking tributary by refusing to pay tribute a few times, Ming will break it on their own.
As soon as I saw the Ottomans took Offensive and Quality I had a brain aneurysm on your behalf RedHawk, I don't think I've ever seen such a disgustingly powerful Ottomans in any of my games
Man that's so painful, when I tried to do a mongol empire run I stupidly took the mandate of heaven, messed around with religion and never took humanist ideas so I spent half of the time fighting rebels and by the 1600s I lagged way too behind in tech and I just ditched it, solid game you played :), def learned a few things
I've only ever formed the Mongol Empire as the Teutons, and that was probably less of a pain then this(since your armies as the Teutonic Horde are just invincible) but was still painful. Just sooo many provinces to seige and take from so many opponents.
After such a hard goal for Montferrat, I'd propose something much chiller : colonize the West Antilles, relocate your capital to Montserrat (with an S), and making it the most developped city in the world.
According to Wikipedia, Montferrat is one of the most important wine-producing areas in Italy. Why not a goal of owning over half of Europe's wine provinces, and/or becoming the world's leading producer of wine?
I enjoyed your videos very well and appriciate it also a lot only too often I remark that your videos are quiet short for the campaign you do so here is my question to you could you make your videos longer or in copple episodes so we get also more detailled idea of amount of troops you and opponent have and we can really see better the troops you win and lose because that is not allways clear an another question is if you use all the dlc s or not because I never see you drilling troops thanks a lot and look forward to your next movie of eu 4 😊
I played Great Horde and formed Mongol Empire before. I was trying to get the KHAAAAAAN achievement. Although I got it at last, but it was stressful...Since the AI always target the player: The Turks always tried to screwed me and the Ming didn't explode like the 90% of time it did Sometime, playing this game is really painful :-(
Just a little tip, if you dont know it, you dont need to cancel tributary and loose the stab. Yoy can just refuse giving them the tribute they want a few times. Then they will break it and loose stab.
Funny seeing Haw forming the mongol empire right after I have done the same but as the Teutons. Took me about 70 more years because Korea was allied to everyone and had very strong armies.
My first game ever after the tutorial thing was Mongolia without the DLC didn’t get anywhere…so I subscribed to the dlc package. Whenever I play as Manchu and constantly beat up Ming they don’t blow up either. I was hoping that would change with this update.
Best thing to make Ming explode, have of 300 dev(triggers unguarded frontier) and then when at war with Ming, force occupy their territory for a long tiem to cause a ton of devastation(lowers their mandated) and then DEFINITELY occupy *at least* 2 of the 3 key provinces - Beijing, Nanjing, and Canton(lowers mandate for each one they don't control or own). I've been able to successfully nuke Ming every game in the first war, so long as I can do that. Normally I occupy all of Northern China, including Beijing and Nanjing. Sometimes I go further, depending on how well I'm doing financially/militarily; sometimes it's better to just halt in the north, where you can more easily defend if you're too weak to push further
I find hordes tiring as well. Gunning for Khaaaan was the campaign which drained me the most even starting as Oirat. Achieved it and never touched the save again
Wish you had restored the Roman Empire as Byzantium back in season B. Bringing the Romans back to their former glory would have been fun. Looking forward to whenever you do that! I wonder if you can be quicker than you were for the Mongols
I've got a world conquest which has been "in progress" for almost a year now. I've never really done much with hordes so I decided to do a WC with Oirat, without switching tags and staying a horde the entire time. I'm now at the point where I keep alternating chipping away at the Commonwealth with chipping away at the Ottomans. I've learned a lot but it has gotten sufficiently tedious that I can only bring myself to play it for a couple of hours once every few weeks.
I love the videos when you do stuff noone else does like the "As Bayreuth form Italy" Video. So as Montferrat you should try to form an moslem Great Britain.
>conquers all of china >crushes massive superpowers like ottomans, CW, muscovy, timurids >restores mongol people and culture as unquestioned supreme power of eurasia >3rd place
I love playing mongolia. One of my go to campaigns (Like Brandenburg into prussia, or granafa into andalusia, or byzantium) if i dont know what to play :D
Funny timing I actually just got the khan achievement with oirat, which seems a lot easier than Mongolia, since you can declare on Ming and get tons of money right away. Must say I also hate how your economy as a horde always garbage until very late when you can earn a lot from trade
As a horde it's better to delay teching up the military technology as much as possible because when you get a higher mil tech, you get less mana and money from razing.
When I first switched to EU4 some 2500 hours ago, Mongolia was my first playthrough😂. I was a civ 5 player thinking that "oh the mongols must be OP, should be an easy nation for beginners." Oh how wrong I was lmao
Even though it definitely looked like a painful run, it was still very cool seeing the Mongol Empire formed. With a lot of these A to Z videos, I wonder how history would have been affected at the end of the challenges. Especially given by the end large amounts of territories were consumed into the Empire, including all of modern day China. Also curious how sustainable this empire would be given it's government by the end of the video (with Humanist/Administrative/Quanity/Quality/etc).
I don't terribly mind steppe warfare. Usually you end up just stating the high dev Ming or European provinces. You can get away with letting a lot of your unstated land be sieged out as long as you do it faster and just beat back the occasional flanking army with a reserve army. Actually microing loot is the most annoying thing imo.
still think it would be really interesting if when you did a big nation, to increase the challenge you did like no allies or loans since those make the game WAY easier
For Monferat if it's possible you should reform the Kingdom of Jerusalem... The son of the Marquis of Monferat was wedded to Sibilla sister of Baldwin IV and he was supposed to take the place of Baldwin wonce the lepper King died
if you don't like micro, you can just turn on auto siege on most armies and manuever just a couple. the auto siege got changed at some point that you no longer need to select provinces like supress rebels. just click auto siege and you're good to go, and they'll just leisurely waltz through the enemy provinces
As Monferrat i have a challenge for you. You play until about 1550. Every 5 or 10 years, depending on how hard you want it to be, you have to declare war on the strongest neighbor that borders you. The goal is to reach the greatpowers list, where top 8 is a bronze medal, top 4 is a silver medal and top 1 is a gold medal. Anything else is normal. If you have another plan with monferrat you can of course play this challenge another time.
