EU4 1.36: Burgundy One Faith World Conquest in 3 Easy Steps
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 เม.ย. 2024
- Join me for a simple, straightforward EU4 play through getting the World Conqueror and One Faith achievement as Burgundy.
We'll also max out our Admin efficiency well above 90%, and minimize our Diplomatic annexation.

Nice job man, when you attack naples make sure the war target is Napoli because the target is half cost in peace deal; it’s possible annex naples in 1 war :)
That must be it - I’ve set a random province as target :) and thanks!
Thousands of hours, and I had no idea - thanks! 😂
18:35 The reason you get money is because IRL when the reformation happened, the rulers who became heretics seized all the properties and ownings of the clergy inside their lands.
In Sweden when our king converted to protestantism he was greatly influenced by the fact that seizing church property was a great way of boosting the economy that was in shambles after the independence war against denmark lol
@@alexg3911 Most of the nobles did it for that reason.
This makes a lot of sense.
Super enjoyable video. It had a comfy vibe like listening to a Burgundian man in a French cafe ramble on about how tag switching will conquer the world
Haha merci beaucoup :)
I agree!
Dali would be an interesting WC, partly because it has one of the most broken exploits in eu4 at the moment, allowing it to get all of china and 150k ducats in the bank within 15 years of game start
The exploit works by abusing the unguarded nomadic frontier disaster, its one of the only ways in game to switch to a released tag, what you pretty much do is trigger the disaster by selling provinces to oirat (accept mongol rebels demands as well) so they get 300 dev so that the disaster triggers, then you let rebels occupy 10 provinces in the xinan region, that will then trigger an event allowing you to switch over to dali, but if you hold the event as ming, you can make them your tributary and then take max loans and start feeding them your land slowly, but how do we get the 150k ducats you may ask? if you give 1-2 provinces at a time to dali, then recruit an infantry unit and then cancel the recruitment, your loan cap gets updated allowing you take more and more money, you get at least 100k at least with this, more if you stack some interest per annum stuff with esates and or revanchism stuff
Then after you've done all this, you can do whatever you want, you have a great mission tree giving you -10% all power costs, and your in a prime position to become horde qing given you start as buddhist, just form tibet, pop the steppe politics mission(hold the event), take the mandate, form qing, then click the mission to become a horde, congrats your now probably the most broken nation in the game, even more than mughals
Thanks much for the info! I didn’t know about that exploit and actually never tried Dali :) Adding your idea to my (long) to-do list!
Your channel is incredibly underrated man. So chill yet so skilled, and play through that are not difficult to replicate.
Thank you - much appreciated! I play to relax, glad this vibe is coming across.
Hon hon hon!
This will be fun!
The reason I play Oldenburg so often is .. yes, you guessed it. Cheers man and thank you for the content! :)
Oh this is a blast! :3
Thanks so much for your support, always! :)
Great video from the Suisse voisine... As a side note, if you manage to get a PU as Burgundy outside of the France region (I got a lucky Bohemia PU once, due to their Hussite events that mess up their dynasty), you only keep it if you go for the Marie option in the inheritance. Otherwise, the personal union will be given to France similarly to how Castile PUs Navarra and sometimes Naples alongside Aragon in the Iberian wedding
Makes sense. Someone also said you keep the PUs within the HRE, otherwise they go to France.
An impressive job as always Alex! You continue to impress every new video! I like that the whole world conquest and one faith was in one simple video and all of the tag switch shenanigans was lovely to see! Keep up the great work can’t wait to see what you cook up next!
Thanks so much! Much appreciated :)
J'adore tes vidéos! I would like to do more world conquest runs, but my computer lags like crazy past 1700 so I rarely bother, so it's nice to experience the joys of world domination vicariously. You have an incredibly relaxing presence and the fact that you edit in all of your captions is extremely impressive.
Merci :) mine actually also lags, you may be able to see at the end it’s jumpy. Thanks for your nice words!
Fantastic video as always! You're campaigns are always so well recorded and I love the way you approach the game in a laid back way.Has definitely inspired me to try a WC on my own.
Would love to see a great Britain run, could be for whatever goal you find fun!
Thanks so much - and good luck with toot world conquests! At the very least, they’re fun even if they fail :)
sipping on cava on a sunday watching this vid
This sounds nice :)
LOVE your videos. Favorite paradox youtuber by far
Thank you, I appreciate your saying this :)
This content is so good PLEASE DONT STOP I WATCH ALL OF THEM, would be cool to see an Avengin run! I love your content!
Thank you for your support, it truly means a lot!
I just love this channel. Every new video is a gift.
Thank you 🙏
After finishing Fallout series, time to relax with some great EU4 content! Currently during my Mughals WC, so I need some inspiration!
Thank you! -- and a full Mughal WC is still in my plans...
Love these videos so much. Great work.
Thanks so much!
this man is a menace. great video as always
Much appreciated sir!
Average Genevan shopping in France, great channel!
Very true :) and thank you!
Great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Glad the algorithm led me here, this is a very fun video, especially the mad tag switching.
Hi and thank you! Glad you’re here :)
so interesting, thank you for sharing this content !!
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks!
I don't seen before so crazy tag switching.
Haha could do more - I wanted to also do Croatia and forgot!
This is so far beyond my abilities....very impressed.
Ah, it’s just a matter of repetition… I’d be ashamed to admit how many hours I have in this game… could have gotten a post grad using this time! :)
12:47, you don't. You made the right call. There is a common strategy where you immediately PU Bohemia as burgundy, and I did that, and then lost it during the inheritance because I dismantled the HRE (you integrate subjects with capitals in the France or low countries region, and in the HRE)
Thanks, makes sense. Didn’t know about the HRE!
Your channel is amazing, great production and content! Would you do a Portugal WC and staying as that tag, curious how you would go about doing this :)
For the PU with Castile you would not keep the Union, instead the country who gets the Inheritance would get that Union. Ex: If France gets you in the inheritance they will get Castile too
Thanks much. Really glad I didn’t go for it then!
i was lucky and got austria as PU when i tried this, and they also got integrated to me. is it cause they somehow counted as being in the fra region?
@@desertdesmond6736 I’ve learned it works if they’re part of HRE. Apparently Lambdaxx made a ton of HRE vassals and integrated them all at once…
@@StrategySphereI have read eu4wiki for inheritance event，nations PU or vassalized will be integrated as long as either they are in HRE or in French zone, so as the special nation Flanders will also be integrated.
In this case Castile will not be integrated, unless u find a way to add his capital HRE, which is really complicated..😮
Similar to English Monarchy trick---If you ever play in the east, you can get rid of the Celestial Empire by forming Japan while Catholic and taking Land of the Christian Sun.
easiest way to do this is to start as ming, use the dali exploit to get all of china and 150k ducats in 10 years, go form tibet because dali starts as a buddhist nation, pop the steppe nomad mission, take the mandate, form qing and then become a horde by holding the event, all possible within 50 years
That’s great to know, thank you!
Awesome video
I don't think i would be able to do the world conquest myself but i think I will try this strategy to atleast get burgundian achivements
Many thanks! And good luck with the run, Burgundy is lots of fun.
Thank you for an enjoyable start on my 42nd birthday.
Wishing you a very happy birthday! 🥂
When the Burgundian Inheritance fires, you inherit all your subjects within the French region and within the Holy Roman Empire. So if you can manage to revoke the privilegia before that, which should be possible by vassalizing three electors and then excessively religion-switching between Catholic and Orthodox (would require a No-CB war on Byzantium early on to get those orthodox provinces you need) and constant leaving and rejoining the Empire, then you could be even more of a blob after the inheritance.
Also, if you can time Charles' death while you are in a war with France with enough warscore to vassalize France, you can wait for the Inheritance to fire, and before you click on the French option, peace out France with the vassalization option. That way, when you then decide to become France's subject, you will immediately integrate Fracne along with your other subjects and thus save yourself the unnecessary independence war (and the risk of a game over by France simply clicking the "Duchess of Burgundy" Mission in their mission tree.
These are very nice advanced strategies, thanks for suggesting!
@@StrategySphere no worries! If you do try it and manage to revoke the privilegia in time, remember to quickly lose two random wars on purpose two undo the last to imperial reforms before the inheritance fires, because it won't fire if Charles' heir would be elected HRE Emperor, so you need to get rid of Erbkaisertum and ensure that you do not have an eligible heir who could be elected Emperor.
@@Arvenico 👍🙏
damn another banger of a video
great french pronunciation btw, kinda of a Disco Elysium vibe to it
Haha thanks, I’ll tell my French teacher :)
Lets go burgundy 🎉
Let's go! :)
I am amazed
Thank you 🙏
love the video
Thank you 🙏
Nice job
Thank you :)
wow that was impressive how easy you made it look
Thanks - Burgundy is seriously overpowered, so it’s not that difficult :)
Nice vid :)
Merci!
Wow you spoke French dude, and not bad at all. You also fixed the sound mix GJ.
Haha trying to improve :) and thanks!
Wow that was an insane run. Tag switching isnt something ive gotten into yet.
Thanks - it sure is fun sometimes…
Best Intro, i agree :')
Merci :)
Ah you live in France?
My condolences my friend. To the you've got access to an escape hatch though 😉
I live in Switzerland though :) but France is right next door, I love it!
@@StrategySphere ah you found the escape hatch already. I live there too but France isn't that close to die Urkantone
nice video!
Many thanks :)
I wish this video was longer...
Thank you :) next one will be longer - either Saluzzo or Provence…
Hello Alex, great video once again. Are you considering any Ternate or Tidor world conquest run?
Thank you, and yes - I want to do a non-European run, this could be interesting. Maybe in the next patch…
Could you recommend some countries that are good for a one faith, one culture run? I've only done a standard austria wc before, and I want to try one culture, but don't know which nations are best for that. Is tag switching even a valid option or rather just sticking to a starting country or formables which don't require you to change your primary culture the way to go?
Sorry that this comment isn't really related to the video, but you seem far more experienced than I am, and I thought I'd ask.😅
Love your videos.
Byzantium has good modifiers for trying that if you form Kongo. You can see how in his byzantine WC he almost got one faith and he didn't even tried, and the roman empire bonuses should make you able to culture convert really fast.
Hi! Byzantium is definitely a great choice. I personally did One Culture with the Teutons because they can form the Holy Horde and raze provinces - giving you tons of mana and making conversions cheaper (I have a video on this).
I’ve never done a non-Horde One Culture, but Russia has a mission which reduces culture conversion time by 20%. Could be an interesting choice, especially if it can synergise with the Roman Empire government (conversion discount and 10% shorter time).
great tag switch method
Thanks, we won’t be able to do this in EU5 sadly…
I do not agree, tag switch should not even be allowed in Ironman
@@RsgNoise well, it’s part of the game, and for me it’s fun :)
Wanted to do a similar strategy, but I'll probably fail. Being slightly perfectionist, I decided to conquer more land to do more tag switches (from England, Prussia, Spain, Sardinia, Two sicilies add Austria, Croatia, Tuscany, Netherlands, Scotand, Poland, Switzerland, Ireland, hansa at least). In order to achieve this, the mana would not be an issue as the mission trees give way enough. However I really wanted to get more land to be able to click more missions, which bring me to ~1750 with all of Europe Burgundian. Fairly certain I can rush and finish WC but will fail with the One faith and one culture I planned. All of it was delayed as I didn't have access to the OP modifiers of the tag switches for about 30 years. Also I forgot to delete spain early and it escaped as a few islands, might go as France or Scandinavia instead.
Nevetheless a fun run, thanks for the idea!
Yeah, One Culture seems out of grasp with these parameters. How about One Faith, did it work?
@@StrategySphere Rebel burnout after one too many peace deal at 300 OE
18:25 the money is from dissolving the monetaries, it’s even more for Protestants because the state was more aggressive in confiscating papal lands to add to the new national church.
Ahh, didn’t know that! I need to pay more attention to texts in the game :)
I would love to see an one culture video..❤
Yep, I guess I’ll need to do this challenge. Gotta study the dynamics of such campaigns…
I did One Culture run as Teutons a while ago, it’s in my videos (but that was a Horde).
The Low Countries are not a part of the France region, so every subject gets fully annexed.
I think the Low Countries get annexed because they’re part of the HRE. That’s how some folks here have explained it to me. So the Spanish PU would go to France…
Man I don't think Burgundy would have been protestant, quite the opposite in fact, they were heavy defenders of the catholic faith
Thanks, it’s great to know. I went along with the proximity to Geneva, which is sometimes called “La Rome Protestante” :)
12:37 For the way the event works, I think you could've inherit all of Castille if you would've chosen France during the Inheritance event, although I'm not sure.
Edit: Forget it, I already tested it and France keeps the PU over Castille.
Thanks for testing it out! I guess the only way to keep it would be to “stay Burgundian” during the inheritance, but that brings a lot of downsides.
16:45 is it possible to give in to the pretender rebels to opt out of the being france's junior partner? Or will it take too long as they ned to siege someting first? Or will france actually fight them and win? Or is figting an independance war actually straight up better?
edit1 though yeah if you want to just kill france in the process might as well
I would take really long. And in that case, fighting France had to happen within one year…
My first WC was with Castile start and tag switch for admin efficiency and war cost reduce, like this but i stay Catholic, is easier than classic Mughals, Oirats or Ottomans.
Hi! Yep, I agree - a Castile start is both fun and powerful!
23:30 most historically acurate feature of this game
👍😂
Finishing up my first ever world conquest now as the Ottomans after over 1600 hours of playtime
1774 now with about 4k dev left to conquer, not gonna lie the 15-20 hours I've spent since 1700 might be the most unenjoyable time I've ever had in this game 😂
edit: just finished it in 1796 😁
Congrats! That’s a nice date, ahead of 1800s :)
@@StrategySphere thanks! Wasn’t sure if I was gonna make it in time but turns out I was worried for no reason
Hey at 7:04 you went back in time from 27th September 1450 to 13th September 1450 and England mysteriously got their provinces in Normandy back. Did you reload a previous save where England and France peaced out differently? It looks really weird how within the same war France got almost all of their Normandy cores back while a couple of minutes later England holds the lands again.
Yep, I took a break and forgot which save file I was playing from! 🫣 Apologies about this. The save I continued to play with is the right one.
So for a few minutes, I have the wrong save file on this video…
Great video ! Is there any chance you still have the save file ? I would like to see the timelapse (specially how did you conquer the world !) Thanks !
Hi, thank you - and yes, I have it:
drive.google.com/file/d/1WPiccISbr-lkeJNoliltxeEkH655T46d/view?usp=drive_link
Please let me know if the link worked for you?
@@StrategySphere Hi, thanks you ! No, it requires authorization
What happened on 07:04? France used to own northern english provinces with Maine and in the next clip they are back english?
I believe I used a segment from the wrong save around that time… apologies.
I asked you like some long time ago, would you do a price of egypt run ?
Yep, it’s in my (very long) queue.
its also one of my favorite countries. i think the avignion situation is based on provance's relationship with the Pope, not yours so you are locked out. i didnt realize you have a full year for independence war, from my memory france almost immediately releases them in the most enraging moment of any campaign so i truy to DOW the day of the inheritance.
the money i think is to reflect that Protestants seized crown church lands, which were usually, rich in their lands. I think in EU(2?) it would be more explicit why you get all that money with an event 'seize church lands'
Yep, I believe France responds to Austria's demands, which (I may be wrong) take about a year. Maybe sooner than that. And makes sense on the money!
I played as Reformed only once and that was as Holland/Netherlands.
It was ok, had its uses as Netherlands but in most other scenarios Protestant is superior
Yep, the Protestants are much more versatile, although I could argue the individual bonuses of Reformed are stronger.
Looooove me some Huguenot reformed
Thanks, it felt right for Burgundy!
you will not get castile if you get them before the burgundian inheritance, as the event only makes you inherit all subjects that are in the hre, has a french culture group, capital is in the french region, or is dutch or flemish, meaning that france will get the personal union
Ahh thanks. Then it's good I didn't go for it -- would have made France that much stronger!
13:29 Doesn`t the hunting accident require the male heir?
Apparently, happens with the females too. Maybe a different event?
what happens if you vassalize France and then burgundy inheritance drops and you choose France?
I would imagine the decision menu will take precedence and you’d still become France’s personal union. Very interesting question!
28:20 wouldn't it be a good thing? Always loyal PU with no diplo slot that gives you permanent bonuses.
Yep, could be a very good thing - sort of “build in allies.”
I thought France could just click a button to inherit Burgundy instantly if you chose them. Is there a reason they didn't? Like a requirement that they can't fulfill?
If I recall correctly, it’s a bit down their mission tree, so there must be some requirements. But it’s all the more reason to attack them immediately after falling under their PU!
So the first step is actually start play as france , then do a royal marriage with burgundy , do your conquest shit with espionage idea , and w8 for burgundy inheritance. When inheritance drop , and you have burgundy as subject , go crazy and conquest even more, like blinded berserk , but make sure you didn`t give land to burgundy , or making vassals (if you give burgundy too much , you never have funny horsy event) .never stop. But when funny horsy event that annex burgundy drops , make sure u didn`t press that funny mission as france , that annex burgundy , if they are your subject. Then RELEASE burgundy , and give them all land you have except your capital (move your capital to 1 1 1 province if you can, before that) , and then annex burgundy with funny mission button again. AND THEN RELEASE THE CRAKEN AND PLAY AS SUBJECT OF PURE AND INNOCENT COUNTRY , WHO TAKE OVER ALL LAND THAT FRANCE CONQUER WITH 0 AE. Step whatever didn`t count lol -> enjoy being a great strategist world ever seen (Napoleon would disagree but who cares about that funny cake lol)
Ahaha the pure and innocent Burgundy strategy! Love it!
"I'm improving relations with a lot of minors around me."
Um, sir??? 🤨🤨
One-province minors, of course! The nations….
Tags changing... i understood nothing :) but good video
Hahaha apologies! In brief, I just hunted a few missions across several countries to max out my admin efficiency :)
Can we get an Ireland OPM run?!
Yep, I’ve played as Desmond once and loved it. It was hard though. Not sure if I recorded that campaign or would need to play anew, let me see!

0:43 Ugh, pass. Calvinists, nothing but trouble.
Haha sorry, it’s just a game.
Why does France lose their Territory back to England? 😅
Yep, for about 90 seconds I had the wrong save file there! I played out a few opening scenarios to chose the most interesting one and got confused in my own video drafts :) Apologies!
@@StrategySphere well, this is a nice insight in the amount of work needed. Thanks for all the effort ❤️
You can prevent countries to support independance by having a truce
Yep, indeed. Can’t have truce with all Europe in the 1450s though :)
I think other nations can’t support independence of your subjects if your at war, so just always be at war
Unfortunately, that has changed recently as far as I know.
@@StrategySphere well that is a shame
Fuck, only 30 min😢
Haha tried to be efficient! :)
No you lose the PU
Thanks, then it's good I didn't waste my time fighting them...
Wouldn't france get the Personal union when you fall under their union? And wouldn't you get the union back when you fully annex France?
I believe France will get your union, but it will break free when you militarily annex France (like Lorraine went free when I vassalized Provence).
What's with the subtitles? You're perfectly intelligible and I doubt that you have an extraordinary share of deaf viewers.
Many thanks! When I was starting out, several folks said they didn’t understand my accent, so I’ve started adding them :) apparently, some folks also watch without sound.
