Wikipedia tells me that Serbia was throughout history a tributary of the Byzantine, Frankish and Hungarian kingdoms, and then later annexed by the Ottomans. Reverse this historical insult. Annex the ottomans and make Byzantines, the franks and the hungarians your tributaries (or vassals).
As Serbia, become Sorbia. Have Sorbian as your primary culture, move your capital to Lusatia area and unite all Western Slavic provinces under your rule. Give Sorbian people love they deserve!
How would the ruler in Scotland even explain all this, "So, we are not in colonial range, we can't get stuff in Africa right? So I say we fight England and take a small ass piece from Portugal, this will expand our reach and manage to take land in Africa and prepare to finally invade North Italy, so we can start conquering the whole region and then take Rome and build our wall there and keep *them* out" "Sire, what the fuck are you talking about"
Sure, I'll give it a shot. 1. Those Maghreb Pirates need to be brought down -> Conquest of Tlemcen 2. The English are annoying, let's fight them. But this naval port from their ally Portugal would make controlling our African vassal easier. -> Take Algarve. 3. Let's follow in the footsteps of the Normans who fought and conquered parts of the Italian peninsula, are we not, as well, a proud warrior culture? -> Foothold in Italy 4. These small city states are no longer being protected by the HRE, and our diplomats promise that we will be a strong protector for them -> Offers to Vassalize
@@Alorand It checks out far easier than so many actual historical decisions. Though I'd think Ceuta would be the better port. Presumably Portugal was more willing to let go of one they thought they would get back
Well a famous joke here in the Balkans is "Srbija do Tokija!" or "(it's all) Serbia up to Tokyo" so... yeah as Serbia conquer and culturally convert Tokyo!
Scotland suggester here. This is my last comment on youtube as Hawk has decreed that I shall be kept walled out from my PC, and since he completed the hardest version of this challenge, the hawks decree is immutable and perminant. We have a saying in scotland that "we're all Jock Tamsons's bairns", which basically means we're all human and cut from the same stock. Gonna get that changed to We're all Kier Boyds Bairns cause that guy is a legend. I'm biased for sure. But I love the story in this. From awkward failures of colonial range issues and financial ruin, to getting involved in just about every major european powers world and punching above their weight until scotland becomes and empire poetically at the end. Beautiful borders by the end! This video is a treasure thank you @TheRedHawk !
Technically I don’t exist (girl online who likes Eu4) but I just wanted to say that I love your content. You inspire me on new ways to play the game, teach me things I am still figuring out, and make me laugh even when you’re struggling. Thank you for doing this and the releasables series. They have made the past few years so much fun. Only sorry I can’t give you more than one sub.
as Serbia you could try to re-create the roman empire because the Brother of Constantine Palaeologos, Thomas the Palaeologos married his daughter to the Serbian King with the idea of recreating the Roman Empire
36:40 for the province cultural conversions, it takes less diplo points and less time if you already have a province of that culture nearby (I think it's like -30% or -50% cost). If you're not in a rush, the best is to convert the 2-3 cheapest and then the neighboring ones, etc.
hi hawk, the introduction made me particularly laugh because here in Italy there is this "kind of racism" between regions where many times "for laughs" it is said that a Maginot line should be built or that under the Po it is all another nation/continent...😅
A suggestion for a video: Either solo or in Co-op, play as a Peasant Republic and have the HRE be dismantled by not having any available country to claim the title of HRE Emperor (that means, by converting as many countries to a Peasant Republic as is required for this goal)
Fun fact: during ww2 when the allies did a naval invasion into Italy, they first took Sicily. Then they continued with multiple prongs invading the southern end of Italy and quickly moved north until Italy started fighting back. They ended up in a standstill between Rome and Naples that lasted for many months, before the allies eventually broke through
44:30 Poland doing naval invasion on Scotland is fantastic reference of Polish people migrating to Scotland (and the whole UK) after entrance to EU in 2004
The scotii were not yet in scotland during roman times, that was the picts they were defending against with hadrian's wall. The scotii came after rome left, they came from Hibernia (Ireland)
Since people playing in Europe tend to conquer Serbia for the gold mine in Kosovo - the player playing Serbia should keep a hold of Kosovo and also find and own the city of gold, El Dorado.
This reminds me of my recent Dithmarchen game. I managed to ally England but they somehow just kept being beat up badly by Scotland and the Irish Minors, and then Spain also declared on them for territory in mainland England.... I swear the AI is always terrible when you are allies and a god when you are enemies.
"Newer players might think Scotland starts off in a precarious position" This is a region I've always enjoyed playing in: Whether it's being Scotland and making England not exist, being one of the Irish OPMs and making England not exist, being Denmark and making England not exist, releasing Wales, Cornwall, Northumberland, or Mann and making England not exist, or even being Norway breaking free from Denmark to make England not exist... it's always fun making England not exist. Seriously though, what's always annoyed me about playing Scotland is that it's usually easier to get the Burgundian inheritance and a PU over France, Spain, and/or Austria/Bohemia than it is to follow the historical path, for the PU over the English crown.
The odd thing is they didnt lock the Scots out. The Scots hadnt come to what would become Scotland in the timeframe the Roman empire existed. The area where inhabited by Picts. Still a nice campaign.
Think I'd have vassalized Provence to then reconquer their neopolitan cores (once they get the mission for 100 dev provinces) but idk maybe this was easier
There is only one right challenge to do here - Srbija do Tokija [Serbia to Tokyo]. Make a prequel to the achievement of Red Star Belgrade Football Club from 1991 when they've won International Cup after the victory at National Stadium in Tokyo: as Serbia own the province of Musashi (modern day Tokyo). If that's too easy for a pro like you, here's the bonus objective: own home provinces of Olympique de Marseille (Aix) and CSD Colo-Colo (Picunmapu) - two teams Red Star had beaten to, respectively, get into International Cup and win it.
As Sweden, you should unite Scandinavia, make Muscovy not exist, and take Constantinople, changing the name to Miklagård (the Viking name for Constantinople). Bonus points: Colonize North America and have Vinland own all of modern-day Canada.
The Onion had a joke about U.S. President Clinton airdropping emergency vowels into Serbia. As Serbia, expand so that you have at least 10 extra of each vowel in your province list; provinces can count for multiple vowels, but can only count once per vowel (e.g. Conquering Achaea would give you an extra "a" and an extra "e," but not two "a"'s)
When you get to Solon, please do this: The Evenki (Solon) people were conquered by the Qing and Russian empires, so preemptively, conquer all of China, and own all of Siberia, and make Russia not exist. Bonus goal is to colonize Cascadia. If you do this goal, it will have been the only nation you played in Manchuria.
Duke of Saluzzo: If I die without an heir, I will name the King of Scotland to whom we owe our freedom from Milanese (or was it Savoyard, I'm getting old...?) oppresison as my rightful heir as duke of Saluzzo. The Duke of Saluzzo dies. King of Scotland: Well, I do want your land, but actually...

own the entire balkans region
Orthodox one faith
As Serbia, recreate Eastern Roman empire border under Justinian, one faith (orthodox), one culture (Serbian)
Wikipedia tells me that Serbia was throughout history a tributary of the Byzantine, Frankish and Hungarian kingdoms, and then later annexed by the Ottomans.

the advisor: nah let him cook bro, the king is cookin something
I’d say for playing Serbia, since they always get conquered for the gold mine in Kosovo, why not conquer all the gold mines in Europe?
Why Europe? Why not gold mines in the entire world? (Yes it includes colonizing)
this is not that difficult and can be interesting
I hope its this one great suggestion
@@nenadsarac2887 I think conquering Tokyo would be more interesting
@@VuleProductions Srbija do Tokija lol
Keir Boyd would be a historical legend in this timeline. What a career he had as a general.
Well a famous joke here in the Balkans is "Srbija do Tokija!" or "(it's all) Serbia up to Tokyo" so... yeah as Serbia conquer and culturally convert Tokyo!
Secondary goal: Conquer and convert all of Albania so the Kosovo debate is finally settled
It's all Serbian isn't it? It always Was...
@@saiyastefo8802 Fun fact: God is a Serb
"Kosovo je srce Srbije" - Tupac Shakur's last words
Please
As Serbia prevent 1914 and conquer Austria-Hungary (Bosnia, Transylvania, Hungary, Austria and Bohemia)
This is a very cool goal! It just came a little late behind the others.
Next video secondary goal: support Swedish independence
I see what you did there lmao

SCOTLAND FOREVER 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴

This is so good. Very fun to watch. You're the best EU4 channel.

I second this.
Blud he is not going to form the roman empire for a A to Z video ☠
Wouldnt the wall being north of Rome to keep the roman out make more sense? In any case, that was one heck of a whacky achievement, kudos to you!
Shout out to Keir Boyd who died fighting the sus among us.

Keir Boyd carried this campaign! And he died in the Sus province, that says a lot!

I already subscribed a long time ago and blobbed scotland from edinborough to sicily, anyway nice work as usual.

Then they continued with multiple prongs invading the southern end of Italy and quickly moved north until Italy started fighting back.

Day 2 of asking that when you get to Ulm, you conquer every province that stats with a U and have U as a vassal
This
Approved
Yes.
I’m not doing Ulm they’re not on the list. Sorry!
@@TheRedHawk Oh Okay! I thought they were because the wiki says they have Ulmer Ideas.
44:30 Poland doing naval invasion on Scotland is fantastic reference of Polish people migrating to Scotland (and the whole UK) after entrance to EU in 2004
In Serbia we have a joke "Serbia to Tokyo, and then to Milwaukee", so as Serbia own and core Tokyo and Milwaukee!
Please no
The Tartan Army on the march. North Africa and Italy are going to consume so much Iron Bru.
Also, cool to see a good Sir Keir for once.
I think I could create a comment war by saying this but,
I think both the southern and northern Italians wouldn't mind having a wall separating them!
42:20 They stayed in because the fort in sicily wasn't occupied so they couldnt take back their cores there.
Your goldmine had 64% devastation. that's why it wasn't producing anything :D
i read the title and instantly knew this is possibly the most cursed EU4 game ever.
I want to see you give more land to your allies when you can, they deserve it bro
Seeing you annex Morocco instead of vassilizing for a return core CB made me groan irl
Very cool Red Hawk
A Royal Marriage automatically adds +10 to the vassal offer modifier, and you can get another +10 from favors. So anything around -20 isn’t too bad.
8 seconds ago? Jeez now is gonna think I'm obsessed
The scotii were not yet in scotland during roman times, that was the picts they were defending against with hadrian's wall. The scotii came after rome left, they came from Hibernia (Ireland)
Yo! Scotland got the Saluzzan inheritance !
This honestly looks like it would be a really fun campaign to just continue

The greatest Keir in living memory.
22:42:I literally screamed at the monitor to diplovassalize Genoa and reconquer their cores.
Serbia is big on pan-Slavism, so conquer all the provinces in the Slavic culture group.
As Serbia, sur-pass Ser-bia by moving your capital to Bia-pas and form Persia.
Portugal-coloured Tlemcen and Tlemcen-coloured Portugal will never stop being weird to me.
Should of built the wall along the trade node line
Sir Kier was 86 in 1510 and died in 1514, so he was 90 😮 Respect for his faithful service!
You can always do Serbian achivement. It's easy and I think you deserve some chill campaign after this video
I can give a lore reason why Poland naval invaded you; their king is a Stuart and he wanted to go home.
you can always increase a country's reason to accept vassalization by 10 with a RM, and another 10 with Trust 100
You should have made England take full responsibility for the Plantations of Italy somehow. :P
22:56 Denmark has the option to just keep the Orkneys instead of selling them to Scotland.
playing scotland? instant like.
Tlemcen visited you before you could visit them 😂
As Sweden, get Scotland to support your independence.
very funny combo of nations
if you wait for one province to be scotii it costs less for provinces next to that province, including sea tiles
It's so hilarious watching how you deal with curse words
The odd thing is they didnt lock the Scots out. The Scots hadnt come to what would become Scotland in the timeframe the Roman empire existed. The area where inhabited by Picts. Still a nice campaign.
As Serbia, first goal unite Yugoslavia, then as secondary goal gain monopoly on slaves

Serbians migrated from what is now Lusatia in modern day Germany so migrate back to Lusatia and culture shift to Sorbian/Lusatian.
That strange gold bug happend to me too, i don't know what caused it, at some point i made regular income from gold again. Weird
Let's agree we will stay loyal with chad eu4 while all the other little boys go play with the new toy
You weren't making gold from Tafilalt because the province was highly devastated
You getting Saluzzo as a PU is like your partner becoming pregnant even though you were using protection
9:50 Not vassalizing Morocco for all the free cores is panful to watch
Should have built the wall north to south - gice yourself the extra challenge, make your victory that much sweeter
As Serbia you should unite all Yugoslavia and then provoke as many rebelions as you can
F for General
As Serbia conquer as much German provinces as you can, challange. Move your capital to Lusitia or Prague.
Dunno why you were so hesitant to give the Ottos Greece. Seemed like an obvious move to keep them around
As Sweden, you should unite Scandinavia, make Muscovy not exist, and take Constantinople, changing the name to Miklagård (the Viking name for Constantinople).
Bonus points: Colonize North America and have Vinland own all of modern-day Canada.
Your gold province was at 65% devastation, no production
Tlemcen landing in Scotland 😄
