It took 40 years for him to get rid of 3/4 of the corruption. With current form of government you can't do that anymore, it's always short term election renewable 2 or 3 times max. /0/
this is a great video and I wish I'd been able to see it a few years ago when i had some really bad luck as Brandenburg and ended up in an extremely similar situation
When was the last time I said it? If you say it's in 'almost every' campaign then I guess you should have at least 50 examples out of 65 campaigns I saved? :v
I've always wondered how do they manage to mess up a campaign this badly, it's so bad I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Worse than that, they still somehow managed to blob a lot and have a good portion of Africa. The only time I had my country in such dire situation was when I was gunning for true heir of Timur, because of the many trucebreaks and over-reliance on debasing, but there's no such achievement in Africa as far as I know.
This is an impressive one! But I guess unlike some of the worst middle eastern ruined campaigns and stuff, you luckily only had one major power on your border.
Here is a challenge that I've tried and failed multiple times: in the map overhaul mod called Alki, Texas starts with 75 minimum autonomy in all their provinces and a bunch of other BS, and you have a neighbour that is almost as big as you and doesn't have the debuffs. Good luck.
yea, it's surprising. when i played Sweden for the first time(this was on 1.29 or 1.30 patch), i sank so much money into the first few wars, by 1500s i was bankrupted, army + fleet under force limit, only 1 cannon, and still losing money. so i started debasing currency and somehow stabilized around 20 something corruption (money used on construction)
Of course. Keep in mind I promised a WC there and it's not something you do in 5, 10 or 15h. I already played 30 years but it took like 10h of gameplay. This will take time ;)
I have a disaster campaign (play a successful Cuzco but didn't know the last reform will give you the same tech and institutions from the colonial nation. Become a republic and waste so much PP for a losing war. Doesn't want to lose so I rage quit sadly the origin dlc corrupt the save so if one day you have corrupt save keep ip cause other player could continue in their pc.
ah yes corruption, I never do it, migth not be the best strat but I am just so afraid the money I gain will not even be worth the increased powerpoint costs and the increased autonomy. exception is of course as muslim with legalism mechanic
i only get into corruption when i'm in a very bad shape, but i get rid of it as soon as possible, i don't think i've ever passed the 10, but i've always manage to keep my economy in the green, i've never tried the bankruptcy
Zlewikk doesn't do politics on his channel and I think we should respect that. He plays games and makes videos for enjoyment and there are much better sources for information and action than his TH-cam channel.
it wouldn't make sense considering Russia isn't even form yet and Russia kinda come from Ukraine, it would just be forming Russia in a little different way

did someone say PROFITSSSSSS
huh.... my favourite eu4 player sponsored by my favourite online game o_O this is perfectttt
This guy should become the president of Romania, because of the way how he handled so much corruption. Big Love to you Zlewikk
ah... if only you could get rid of corruption by spending money in real life too...wait!

Ludi is contributing a lot to that corruption

@@cipherskell9638 if you reelect him often zlewikk can fix the nation over a coupke if decades. At the cost of all the republican Tradition
The difference between EU4 and my life is that in EU4 you can only have one disaster active at a time.
gold
I love this because even at 2200+ hours, I can still learn a few new small things to do when things start getting too rough for whatever reason
Happy to hear that!
Same with my 2000h
You should to some extended timeline historical disasters, that would be very interesting.
Of course ;)
@@ZlewikkTV I agree!
Soissons quite a ruined game indeed. The last roman remnant in the west.
Paraguay in the War of the Triple Alliance would be a tough one
Do one of the last years of West Rome, when they just had Italy.
Save a chinese from dying while being in the verge of dying
Enjoyed that save, that corruption was scary at the beginning.
Being a Muslim nation help, all 5 years -2 corruption. Can use that to make money as well, just debase currency and delete the corruption from it.
Calling in Zlewikk to save your campaign is like calling in scanderbeg as Byzantium. Here comes the big guns!
Zlewikk is so good at saving campaigns, he can fix my life!!! Another great video.
Thanks!
can you save the irl Ukraine ruined campaign ?
@@planteruines5619 Ukraine just need free company
@@jeromecollin4650 but they closed , because of an event
Big Props on this one, that campaign was in quite a state, Yet you didn't even lose that much land or wars whilst recovering!
Thanks!
This gonna be good!
Edit: Very well played damn! I was expecting giving up huge chunks of land and retaking later but clearly that wasn't needed.
Thanks!
Ruining campaigns for you to fix seems to be a new playstyle.
You underestimate people
As always a great video. Reminds me that I often give up much too early in my own campaigns
Thanks! Yeah, most of the situations can be saved :)
How did he even get that much corruption, its first time I see something like that
The timurids campaign with double bankruptcy and coalitions was even worse imo. Very good work though. Keep this content coming it's very enjoyable!
its like i started a songhai campaing and left my hamster in charge of the game
A special level of masochism to fix these campaigns Zlewikk.
great video as always. also what is the soundtrack used starting at 1:30 that goes on for a few minutes?
this is a great video and I wish I'd been able to see it a few years ago when i had some really bad luck as Brandenburg and ended up in an extremely similar situation
Perfect timing on this video. I have a mali campaign I was gonna ask you to save but watching you save songhai taught me everything I need to know.
Hahhaah, good luck!
This is one of the best lol! You make it look easy every time what an absolute legend. Cheers!
Hahahah, thank you!
Zlewikk save ruined countries so well, that they become better than any of my super lucky campaign with no disasters at playing. Absolutely genious!
This is the average game when I play
F
Mr. Castile has been kicking my Moroccan ass. I needed this :D
Congrats on the new sponsort. Best of wishes.
Thanks!
Loved the video! I bet Zlewikk could go in a -÷ stab 60 corruption OPM and do a world conquest on it...
Always learning from the BEST!
"Everything we love about ruined campaigns" *looks far off into the distance with pain in his eyes*
Zlewikk in almost every ruined campain "the WORST EU4 RUINED CAMPAIGN?"
When was the last time I said it? If you say it's in 'almost every' campaign then I guess you should have at least 50 examples out of 65 campaigns I saved? :v
Zlewikk "might not be able to do this one boys" also Zlewikk "activates Giga Chad"
Kekw
Starting to think people intentionally ruin their saves to see if Zlewik can fix it
Nah, you ubderestimate people
The comeback in only 35 years is insane

At the beginning it looked unsaveable. But at the end it was as usual.
6:00 tax meta twice in a week, I'm gonna let my PRO ELO META GAMER rage out of frustration lmao
Kekw, but this time I didnt take it!
9:00 business as usual in parliament.
Kekw
zlewikk i love you
this one was tough... well , until the real Castille war then it's pretty much on a roll
Yeah, exactly :)
First time i see a sponsor that actually spikes my interest xd
Nice :D
This is an impressive one! But I guess unlike some of the worst middle eastern ruined campaigns and stuff, you luckily only had one major power on your border.
this ruined campaigns remind me of my early eu4 days
Plz increase the amount of content about fixing something ruined because its made my gameplay better
10:37 legit scared me
There is the worst, but only have even worst.
Love these videos!! And yes! Zlewikk for president of Romania! Reduce that corruption!!
I'm happy that you liked it!
It is shocking how good Zlewikk is at EU4 sometimes
It's all about experience!
i think one of the ancestors of Zlweikk was empreon Aurelian
Kekw
That's actually perfect representation of moder-day Africa countries
;-;
You are the best EU4 player i have ever seen
Hahahah, thanks! There are always better players though!
That's amazing.
Saving the ruined campaign is nice
Thanks!
11:30 yeah yeah nice ,,free'' company if you have to pay for it. oh god what a times...even free things wasnt free back then
Kekw
Damn. You are best eu4 player I know
Thanks! There are always better players!
What music plays at the start of video, before sponsor?
Zlewikk how do I get out of loans irl, please help me I'm about to get evicted and this is my 3rd Mortgage
F
Zlewikk save my failing marriage
Heart attack 10:39
I love your videos so much!
Thanks!
Zlewikk na premiera
Your insane man!
Thanks!
I swear people must make troll ruined campaigns to send Zlewikk haha. Still entertaining to watch though :)
Nah, you just underestimate people
There are people who have over 1k hours and still never played in Africa, heck there are even some who never played outside Europe
Finally somebody realized, tax meta is da way!
YES
this was wild
as saw as i saw the 40 corruption i knew it would be hard XD
:v

Smells a bit like its ruined on purpose. 40 corruption !?
You underestimate people

Where da Zlewikk the Builder hat
This one needed kolpak
But... but Zlewikk. how dare you finish the video before fixing that border with Funj! jk, great video
;-; who is Slewikk?
@@ZlewikkTV A typo... sorry
Definitely seems deliberate but idk
There is no way in hell you get to 40 corruption without debasing currency multiple times. This was ruined on purpose.
@@Shrapnel57 i got to 60 corruption as golden horde once. all through debasing currency because i didnt want to go bankrupt. its DEFINITELY possible
You underestimate people
@@notlucas6859 debasing as a horde isn't really a big deal compared to doing it ad a kingdom
will you continue the mongol empire campgain?
Of course. Keep in mind I promised a WC there and it's not something you do in 5, 10 or 15h. I already played 30 years but it took like 10h of gameplay. This will take time ;)

Oh if it was corrupted by the update, just roll back thr game version on steam
@@ZlewikkTV yeah I wish I knew that but as usual I erase every corrupt save :D
Good job
Masterpiece
how many hours do you have zlewikk
Around 6.4k, but a big chunk of it is mp
Do a Poland WW2 ruined xampaign
How many years has the tax meta joke been going on now? :D
Like 2 :p
How do I send a ruined campaign?
DM it to him through his discord server
I literally explained it at the end of the video :p
ah yes corruption, I never do it, migth not be the best strat but I am just so afraid the money I gain will not even be worth the increased powerpoint costs and the increased autonomy.

Its Larping in Africa not a Ruined Campaign
take a bow sin pi.
Nicooo!
sick
Viewer engagement
do the new exteneded timeline startdate as ukraine
Zlewikk fix Ukraine ruined campaign 2022 please
mp qq please
Then come on thursday stream, I'm playing Ajam mp there
Oh yes, finally a SYRC episode
In extended timeline there is "Russian invasion of Ukraine" scenario. So you could try saving Ukraine in next Historical disaster video.
Zlewikk doesn't do politics on his channel and I think we should respect that. He plays games and makes videos for enjoyment and there are much better sources for information and action than his TH-cam channel.
it wouldn't make sense considering Russia isn't even form yet and Russia kinda come from Ukraine, it would just be forming Russia in a little different way
Zlewikk, new campaign idea: Play as released Ruthenia and speedrun taking over Muscovy. Slava Ukraini!
