This one took awhile! I just returned from abroad and will be back on schedule starting this week. EU4, CK2 + more content coming. What videos do you want to see?
I'd really love to see Nitra tips, since not so many ppl release them to play as (Both Nitra and Moravia)
Theodoro or Trebizond
Empire of Trebizond, please!
I really would enjoy seeing a general guide for starting near the ottomans, both as Muslim and Christian nations, as there are achievements for most nations that start with a border with the ottomans(Trebizond, Candar, Karaman, Byzantium, Albania, Serbia, wallachia all have achievements where at some point you have to deal with the ottomans)
@minimuffin531 Excellent idea!
While I have thoroughly enjoyed the detailed achievement guides, they are nation and version specific as well as lengthy projects.
Without player intervention, the Ottoman Empire will solidify its superpower status by absorbing it's assorted neighbors. Players want to change fate and out-compete the Ottomans, so they need strategies relevant to their nation of choice.
England: France, I will fight you for the death!
Navarre: Me and my three soldiers ask you to make peace.
England: And why should I obey?
Navarre: We're basque.
England: Okay, white peace immediately, bye!
In Spain, we have many friendly jokes about vasque people being like quite tought, rude and strong xD Similar of the Chuck Norris memes, we have something similar with them here, in the way of "vasque people shave with an axe". They tell them about themselves and we too. And looks like Paradox has implemented that mechanic in the game
@@MaNU7908 to be fair, during the civil war the basques reslly fucking proved themselves. I mean, they stuck it to the nationalists while cut off from madrid for way longer than expected. I am from the south so as you can imagine independist movement controlled areas aren't that sympatheyic around here, but anyone capable of resisting the fascist forces for that long with a supply chain that crippled has earned my respect for sure. Don't fuck with the basque, they may be rural, stubborn mules, but, well, they really are mules in the positive sense too.
@@thespanishinquisition4078 The requetés came from Navarra and they were with the nationalists xD
The Spanish Inquisition
Yeah, Basques have traditionally supported Carlism. Because Carlism is in their greatest interest and aligns most closely with their rural Catholic values. Nowadays, everybody is a degenerate though so who knows.
Edit: And they proved themselves as men without fear while fighting in the Requetés too. Unfortunately, it appears that as part of the civil war they betrayed their own Christian values and were involved in massacres of innocents and other atrocities, though who’s to say if they targeted lefty sympathisers or actual civilians.
@@thespanishinquisition4078 has to do more with the fact that historically they've resisted all invasions on their land and preserved noth their language and culture(as well as being the other half creator of the castillian language and identity) it doesn't apply exclusively to basques in europe but in spanish America as well
"Might be the most powerful OPM in the game"
*Laughs in Ulm*
Awakening of ULM is my second favourite mod
laughs in Tannu tuva
OPM? I'm somewhat new to eu4, but im loving it! What's OPM?
@@pleasedontpickonme42 One Province Minor - referring to countries that (at the start of the game) only have one measely province to work with. In some situations, you could be an OPM surrounded by big countries, like Hisn Kayfa.
@@Pr0manStream Oh okay cool thanks. I always root for the underdog in eu4 so good job OPM!
Isle of Mann achievement guide next?👀
:)
:(
The duality of Mann
@@justuswalker8746 underrated comment
Yes
Still waiting for that Phoenicians guide
I need to remake it for the Livy update - the current footage I have is from the 1.0 build when mana was still a thing. Thanks for the interest - I look forward to playing imperator again!
@@AlzaboHD still trying to do it?
@@andrewdeleon559probably not
As a Basque man I love this guide.
Not enough car bombs but it is acceptable
kaixo
I expected ISP voice after ironside intro..
hey whats up my Gravybabies
where is the flute music??
Hey just so you know this guy called Isp stole your intro you might wanna do something about it
I tried watching his video but I dont understand british please send help
@@AlzaboHD you mean: English (traditional)
@@nomad7865 wouldn't that be Frisian? I mean that is the closest surviving language to "old english" modern day English Is partially latin due to the NORMANS.
@@Newbmann English has a lot of influence from the Latin languages, but it's quite distinctly Germanic as far as I'm aware.
@@Infinite_Jester old English was fairly Germanic being the language of the "Anglo Saxons" before a hole bunch of Norman's invaded and the upper class begun to speak more or less French and after that the 2 blended and then developed on its own leading to the english we have today and why we have multiple words for the same thing EG sheep and mutton or steak and beef.
Welcome basque to how to get your friends to Navarra talk to you again.
Oh mighty AlzaboHD, I ask humbly for another Navarra guide, for this one is most sadly, outdated
"Rush the rectangle the Portuguese call a country" - Daaamn that hit hard
Just here to say I've loved your videos and sense of humour for quite awhile and im really happy to see you growing, you deserve it dude
As a Portuguese man, I am proud of my rectangle and I'm offended...
At least it's easy to draw
Navarra my life have I heard so many Basque puns... I did Savoy them all though.
Nice one! Was looking to try this achievement
I really enjoy this kind of guides, thank you. Please consider doing the Pskov-achievement or Meissner porcellain next.
No doubt you have the best EU channel on the whole TH-cam. Keep it up!
Love your videos man! Still waiting on that Phoenicia Guide for Imperator Rome! Much love from Spain 💕
Your videos are so damn epic. But do you think Nagpur is an underrated nation? Could you make a Nagpur guide? I would also absolutely love a Nepal guide. Keep up the good work! Even if it takes a long time, I'll be waiting.
Always enjoy these videos about lesser played countries
Cool guide dude! Awesome content :)))
6:30 Am I right in thinking you said "The Basque case scenario"? Or am I just looking for puns
I heard it too
I love these. Do more please.
After the war with England, France immediately turns hostile and breaks the alliance because they desire lampurdi and guiena. How do you get around this?
Go to old patch
After some testing, I found that in the peace deal, you must RETURN cores to france, not cede them provinces. Don't know why, but it has worked in all three test runs and my ironman run so far
You really dont need to do this guide its made to look alot harder then it is all you need to do is get a alliance with Castile and its over raise your force limit to like 9ish and then eat Aragon,castile will guarantee you most of the time and as long as you throw him some scraps from aragon he wont turn on you once thats done rival castile and swap your alliance to the french and eat the rest of spain and im average at this game at best.
I have 13 achievements left, with Basque in glory being one of them, im gonna try with your guide !
this is the type of content my body craves
This sounds so much fun.
Love it. Greetings from the real World Navarra
The "Charles de Valois Hohoho" was a nice try ^^
Ce rire "français" ridicule est le sujet des blagues aux states - d'ou je viens. Merci et courage a toi!
very nice... gonna start a navarra game now
Could you please do an Albanian guide I cannot survive long at all with them
check florrywoory's stream on albania, he conquers ottomans on very hard
quick tip to surviving as Albania quickly take loans and merc up to force limit or SLIGHTLY OVER dont do much over then no cb on Imerati or circassia then transport all your troops to conquer it just like that you have secured yourself at least a few decades from the ottos since they RARLY go up fast after game start
Or you could just merc up and push into Serbia and Bosnia but thats no fun.
th-cam.com/video/4UTQDijBRHo/w-d-xo.html This was an amazing run.
We (I) need a Theodoro guide yesterday!
Amazing
Would be interested to see a Hormuz guide. Gotta use those extra merchants!
Very good video!
Hope Phoenician now
I believe in a dream that every TH-camr will eventually use Ironside intro
Liking the new credits
it sounds fun and all, but whenever i try one of your guides i fail almost right away haha, how do you manage to do all of that stuff so easily?
So many amazing puns
Saw that opening thing with the hammer and got confused thinking I clicked on an ISP video by accident
that Iron Side op made me double check cus I thought I tapped on an ISP video
In my opinion Navarra has too much of an awesome looking Name and color to form another country, I mean look at Spain owning Iberia and Navarra owning Iberia, which looks 10x cooler than the other one lol?
Navarra of course! You are definitely right. Personally I'd like an Euskara formable nation for a Navarra that owns Iberia. Would be awesome
Oh, the best OPM! PU over Aragon, Naples from event and France, Porugal, Austria and GB from missions!!
This could probably use an update, but I'm still gonna do my best with this guide, since it's one of the only ones around.
The little kingdom that could, my favourite
Very good video, can you do one as Bosnia?
I've had quite a bit of success as Navarra also. I usually ally with Castile right away and wait for Aragon to attack me (they're usually hostile toward us right off the bat). I crank up the defensiveness in Navarra and buy a fort defense advisor if I can, and Aragon's army is usually mired trying to take my (unblockaded capital), running 45-50 day siege cycles while Castile and I occupy most of what he has in Iberia.
By the end of that first war (1450 or so) I've usually scooped up 4 provinces including Tarragona and Valencia, giving Alicante to Castile for their efforts. At that point I'll move my capital to Tarragona because it's more valuable and easier to develop than Navarra up in the mountains.
From there it's easy to start grabbing everything else that Aragon owns and loves in subsequent wars. After that you can play it how you want.
It's cool to see your strategy, which is entirely different from mine, even though Navarra is situated in such a tight geopolitical spot. Cheers!
Falkland Islands Tribal OPM guide please.
Sounds like a perfect april fools joke lol
@@AlzaboHD well at that point why not go all out and pick St. Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic with a custom nation
I should have followed your guide as it would have made my start a lot easier. In my game England allied Castile and they smashed France, which I also wasn't able to help because I wasn't able to get the alliance early. With Castile and Aragon both wanting to kill me I had to ally Portugal and then I allied HRE electors because they were the next strongest possible allies.
Guess what? I got elected in 1470 when there was about 2 months before Austria could get my third vote back in line. I am still a OPM but Aragon's king should die any moment and in 1 year I can declare war on England and even with Portugal and Castile helping them I am confident that France and I can win this time thanks to my huge force limit and the German theocracies are willing to help out.
Also France took Britanny and has Provence under PU, fighting him will be a nightmare but the reward will be huge. Sometimes not ideal starts can turn out very, very interesting.
How bought "Back to the Piast" for Silesa or Mazovia?
This seems a lot more rng than you present it to be. I'm having problems with burgandy declaring on france early, provonce getting excom'd, burgundy declares, and france defends, and france having a high opinion on aragon, so they won't go to war. Sometimes castille is hostile and declares on you, sometimes aragon declares on you before you can get castille and france allied. Also, in the england war, france is wanting a LOT more than what is shown in the video for favors. I think you got really lucky. I'm sure this method works great, but I've restarted way too many times to call it "easily reproducable." Anyways, still really enjoyed the video.
I dont have the dlc that allows you to scorn insfult nations, what do i do?
6:30 the Basque case scenario :'D
The Trastamaras getting a child on the von Habsburg throne is like a no u moment
Doesn't work anymore with the new France in Austria patch
tnx
Basque in his glory!
Which DLC are neccessery for this to work?
“The north sea under new management” LMFAO IM DEAD
So hard to ally france now due to their vassal swarm
What do u think about ck3?
Can you do one on ottoman going into the HRE
How are you so damn lucky with PUs I’m lucky to get the chance at 1 each play through
Ethan Tull you start with the Castilian dynasty and the aragonese one comes with an event
Ethan Tull Seriously, other dynasties will create heirs like rabbits but half the time, my ruler either has an heir at age 50 (and then the kid dies a few years later from an event) or has praying mantis syndrome where they have a child at 20 then fall over dead, leaving me in regency for a decade.
To be fair Navarra is guaranteed Aragon, Naples and France which is pretty insane! Only castile (already shares a dynasty!) and austria (event) were relatively RNG, though certainly possible for a normal campaign
he uses the disputed succession tab to identify and snipe PU opportunities, for example as Austria I royal married Hesse who happened to have a 68 year old on the throne and they died literally the same week. This put a habsburg on their throne and made them a prime PU target if I were to want a PU over them
also alot of these were event/mission tree related or he used claim throne to do it through force as seen by Castile.
How about Home and Away (Wales) or Empire of Mann (Mann) next
Any advice as to how to start this after the update? France having more vassals makes it (I think) impossible to ally or marry them in the beginning.
i tried and is impossible to allie them in the beginning
It's not impossible just did it ten minutes ago
i am getting always the same advisors. a lvl 2 diplomat, lvl1 trader and a lvl1 spy master
For a second, I thought this was a ISP video.
can you please do bosnia guide next
April 1st is coming and you know what that means... It’s Haida time!
ho boy that aged well in more ways than one
@@socalkaizer6137 I am still sad about no Haida Gwaii :(
Time to Basque in glory... I'll let myself out
SO MANY PUNS
Make a Wallachia guide and I’ll love you, I’m trying so hard to succeed as them because they have one of the coolest missions ever (Impale the Sultan)
RadioRes has a pretty good one.
Ian Clifford I can’t stand that Indian accent :/
How do you make view like in 14:50?
yes finally
U should upload more often
When is that Byzantium guide
Remake, please?) France always takes Labourd and it's really harder to ally them now. Since all of the updates.
Any hoi4 guides soon
I’ve tried navarra like 10 times and failed all of them. Maybe now I have a chance!
This is a confirmed ETA moment
I don’t know if you take requests but can you please do (at least a basic) northern Native American guide. Trying to find a good Cherokee strat to do the achievement but get curved stomped by Spain or England when they show up
get your stab to -3 and get migration time short as possible. find those 3 plains provinces around modern day Washington DC and migrate between them, dumping all points into dev (your tech catches up when you reform off a European nation) once sufficiently dev'd start colonizing east coast. try to reform off of a European but only attack when the colony is a colonial nation, and full annex if possible to prevent a reconquest war. 100 years of monarch points will be dumped into just a few provinces, meaning you will have an incredible dev base to work off of to begin with and plenty of money to hire advisors to keep up with catching up in tech.
A boring but safe way:
You want to delay contact as long as possible with the colonizers as they will instantly attack you if you are small. Attack Creek asap with the rival CB and intentionally feed them 2 of your provinces, you will need warscore for this otherwise they will only peace out on your own full annexation, he will likely have an ally, try to fight them separately, you can try to base race Creek and if you win they will accept your 2 provinces. Best strategy is to shatter Creek by baiting them into a fight before their ally arrives then go for their capital which will give you 1-2 extra ticks for your base race siege. Just 1444 if RNGjesus hates you.
Now as an OPM you can migrate which gives free mana for your reforms. Hop around until you find a good trade good far from the East Coast.(generally fur or tobacco, gold is far away in the west coast which is possible but you will wait until 1700 until someone civilized arrives) Great lakes or Midwest areas are nice as the colonizers wont reach there until 1650ish. (e.g. Potawatomi is a level 2 trade center in the Ohio trade node with a starting 6 dev and defensive terrain.) Push for admintech 5 and get expansion ideas. Use spare MP and buildings to develop your new capital, so you can support a colonist. Around 1500 you should be able to start sending out colonists. With expansion ideas you should steadily reach the point where you always have 3 colonists working. The native buildings are very strong so abuse them to the max for money.
The colonizers will first focus on the coastal area so you have plenty of time before they reach the inner continent. Your goal is to blob using colonists and occasionally eat neighbors until 1600, then slowly approach the shores. The best is when the Thirteen colonies start to colonize themselves since they are likely in threatened status they wont DoW you when you put your own colonies next to them. The overlord can still push for it but since you are quite large at this point they likely wont bother to use subject CB on you. You should also save up a lot of Mana so you can quickly tech up once reformed.
Now you can DoW the Thirteen colonies and the Overlord wont be called in. If the Overlord is a great power be careful, they can still enforce peace. You can use the Reconquest CB as the colonies likely own your former 2 pronvinces you left behind and have permanent claims on. After reforming you are likely great power level or close, the only Colonizers that can threaten you at this point are Spain with Naples inherited as well and Great Britain with full control of their Island. France tends to be too invested in Europe and have a smaller presence. Since you waited long you will have vision on Europe and ally your enemies rivals. Alternatively you can wait for the US to break free then eat them when they have no allies in a reverse manifest destiny way.
@@csfelfoldi The rival CB doesn't allow for territorial changes. This should mean you can't give up your own territory either with that CB.
@@Infinite_Jester That's incorrect. The defender can take or you can offer them land. Only the attacker is not allowed to take land.
Third way guide please👀?
The basque case scenario
What if I don’t have the dlc to scornfully insult?
Very epic, England got PUd by Portugal in 1444 and a year later I was PUd by France...
I just tried to follow this strategy. I found that taking Aquitaine from France gave them a hostile attitude towards me and made them break the alliance. I'm going to try again by only taking Labourd and see how things go.
There is a missing step in his guide , basically you also want France and Aragon to be Rivals .
@@KratosAurion7777 anyway France becomes angry on you when you make PU over Aragon because they want Aragon's lands
To those who wonder is this guide useful in 1.30 emperor patch.
Yes, it is mostly useful, except at first you can't marry with France because of many duchies. Therefore, hiring diplomats are much useful to enforce peace in hundred years war. Once, France eats one vassal, they will join you.
Aragon in this patch is nerfed, by Naple succession event, but France is stronger in Emperor patch. Therefore, you can just ask France to attack. In my game, even Austria and Savoy are in Aragon side. France still wins.
You may at start pissing Aragon and ally Castile. So Aragon attack you and Castile. If you defend it well, you could rush for 4 Aragon states and finishing Aragon Ambition mission.
I'm never able to enforce peace, I never have any +reasons it's always like - 3 and then they go above 25% and it's gone. Any tips?
Same
I doubt you still have this problem, but if you do, enforcing peace isn't nessesarily required. You could just wait for the war to end
What map mod is that?
EU4 has become a personal union simulator 😂 mission after mission after mission
pls make a portugal guide
Also, France won't always be willing to war Aragon in succession war due to attitudes
please do burgundy
Alzabo made me to go basque to the game :v
Pretty sure he is a dad
Each game Aragon declares war on me before I can even consider enforcing peace or allying France, is there anything i'm doing wrong ? (I'm improving relations vith them)
Ally Castile too
Wait u use nevarra to qonquer europe
Ah yes, defensive exploration. Just like the Romans only did defensive wars.
Gora Nafarroako erresuma!
I've found trying to replicate this run extremely unpredictable. I've been testing for about 2 hours and I've had all kinds of shenanigans happen that'll completely mess up this strategy. Here's a few examples of things that has happened in the last two hours within the first 5 years of game start.
- Aragon declaring war on Navarra within a few months despite castillian alliance
- Aragon PU'ing Castille
- France PU'ing Castille
- France and England fighting over Portuguese PU
- Surrender of Maine on day 2 (making you unable to increase french opinion to 100 before 25% warscore)
- France often won't attack Aragon despite favors due to positive opinion
- Burgundy and France fighting early
- Castille constantly flipping to domineering
yep, been having a hard time reproducing this. whats been fucking me the most is early burgundy wars with france over provonce, and france being friendly towards aragon
which dlc do I need for subject interaction
Cossacks I believe
