Loved this video. If you upgrade your military academy to full, the AI just gets melted even if they outnumber you 10x. You can easily demolish coalitions of 30+ countries with 5 full armies and fully upgraded academy, I recommend playing on harder difficulties, as you saw, once you snowball and have 100+ income per second, it is over for the AI, coalitions only pose a threat at the start of the game. As a framework for mods though (Which is what AOH2 was), it's very good. Easier to mod than HOI4 and EU4, and bugs are getting fixed. (Vassals switching sides no longer happens.). Creating scenarios is incredibly easy. Coldwar and "What if Germany won WW2" scenarios were on the steam workshop in only days of the game being released, aswell as recreations of HOI4 mods like Kaiserreich. Resource buildings (Grain farms, etc. Buildings that can be only built in certain provinces) are way too overpowered though, and if you just build every resource building, you'll be number 1 economy decently fast. Legacies are a bit underused, you'll finish the legacy upgrades very easy, in 200 or so years as most countries, and advantage points feel a bit out of place. No attrition and (I believe) no terrain modifiers make the wars way less strategic than EU4 or HOI4 unfortunately. There are no events to steer the game into a historical direction like EU4, causing scenarios like WW2, WW1 and modern day to devolve into random wars that make no sense. The only scenario with events is WW2, which actually has Germany doing anschluss, demanding Sudetenland, and invading Poland all through events. HRE mechanic is also underdeveloped, you can just annex every HRE country if you reach the end of the HRE 'focus tree', HRE electors and members needed to like you in EU4 to pass reforms, in AOH3 there are no special requirements, besides 'have X money, have X researched.' You can easily form HRE by 1500, if you play your cards right. Many small mods that add new ideologies, tweak the battle system, add new buildings, etc. Are already popping up, along with a bunch of small changes like not having that alliance cap of 1 per country, and allowing you to take provinces from every participant of wars. Very excited for the future of this game!
I managed to create the Hanseatic League in 620 or so. Just built every resource.building there is, and steam roll my neighbours. Having high research helps too, I already managed to research Cannons 😂
Amandus I really recommend playing with some of these mods from the workshop: Tiny Plugin Tiny Missions Plugin (Depends on 'Tiny Plugin') Releasable Cores: Vassal Expansion Take Provinces From Enemy Allies in a Peace Treaty Special Map Background When Zoomed Out Lord's flag over the vassal's flag TWO SMALL QOL TIP: Hold down the mouse scroll and you will be able to multi-select units, provinces in peace deals, and build/invest/increase growthrate/increase tax efficiency. The 'Crisis Resolution' Legacy gives you less aggressive expansion.
Here is a little hint In the options menu before starting a game, there is an option to call your vassals into war, turn it on in order to call vassals/puppet states into your war
Vassals are so usefull if you want to expand your frontline without ruining your country too much, i sometimes make my vassals invade for me when devlaring war on small countries
In order to add your vassals you need to go to configuration and call vassals before starting the game, and also the only map I have seen with events is the Second World War map.
if you want to have way more then just download mods from the workshop + the game is still getting updates so its gonna be very well developed in the future
Depends, it has a lot of replayability, different civis, different empires/civis that are implemented and can create, you can also make your own "map", with your own civis if you have the time and patience, also the workshop is fully alive

You did pretty damn good on your first game! It just shows that investing into your nation actually pays off when empire building.
20:58 Japan when Poland issued a declaration of war in 1945:
~No~
This game looks REALLY fun, I'm gonna need to buy it! Amazing video btw, keep up the good work👍
Its underpriced too
Multiplayer has to be a dlc when it gets out of beta, because the game is reallt cheap
Pls Keep going i love these aoh3 videos man :)
Amandus I really recommend playing with some of these mods from the workshop:
Tiny Plugin
Tiny Missions Plugin (Depends on 'Tiny Plugin')
Releasable Cores: Vassal Expansion
Take Provinces From Enemy Allies in a Peace Treaty
Special Map Background When Zoomed Out
Lord's flag over the vassal's flag
TWO SMALL QOL TIP:
Hold down the mouse scroll and you will be able to multi-select units, provinces in peace deals, and build/invest/increase growthrate/increase tax efficiency.
The 'Crisis Resolution' Legacy gives you less aggressive expansion.
I'll probably play 1 more vanilla game since I haven't done any modern campaigns and then I might do QOL mods or the big ones
@@AmandosThe ww2 have events but is rare
Here is a little hint
In the options menu before starting a game, there is an option to call your vassals into war, turn it on in order to call vassals/puppet states into your war
in the second game i never used that, plus dont they take land?
@ but they can help you in your efforts
@@larryOCannon why not? In the second game you can annex them.
@@SuperChausette thats why i said i never do that, i only annex them
Vassals are so usefull if you want to expand your frontline without ruining your country too much, i sometimes make my vassals invade for me when devlaring war on small countries
New subscriber earned!!!
Love from Canada
Mee too! Love from Ontario.
There’s a mod where you can claim enemy’s allies which also works in Coalition’s
Doeant work fkr me
Playing as France then get to an whole coalition
your actually pretty good considering its ur first time playing
comes with playing eu4
Just an advice, play medieval-victorian era ages. Battle system makes sence there
In order to add your vassals you need to go to configuration and call vassals before starting the game, and also the only map I have seen with events is the Second World War map.
DISTURBING THE PEACE🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bradenburg was my biggest enemy in my most recent gameplay
Good boy Amandus... Good boy
I'm becoming a little obsessed with this game tbh. Even with the rough edges and bugs.
The G.O.A.T is back
OGs will know when it was called age of civilizations 2
No? That's the prequel
@@SuperChausette i think he meant the title of "age of civilizations"
@@NexarionTakenHandle then why add the 2?
babe wake up, amandus uploaded a 30 min vid
Can I get a season of this?
This vid will definitely (maybe) get a donation
🤔
@@Amandos oh no I am not donating someone else is going to donate

What's the difficulty
There's a difficulty slider?
@@Amandosthere is, you just need to look in the options menu before playing
W video W game
I should try CK3 it’s 70% of
This game is a one-time experience isn't it ?
if you want to have way more then just download mods from the workshop + the game is still getting updates so its gonna be very well developed in the future
@@pivonijacija thanks, will try it once you don't need Java to play it anymore.

@lax-8543
