What I love about this video is this is basically the eastern Roman empire strategy from history bribe your opponents into protecting you and sit back and make money.
I ran out of tea bags yesterday. When I saw this video, I went to the local cafe and bought a cup of tea, just so I wouldn't be out of form for this entertainment. (Thankfully, my cafe is open 24 hours. A good thing since I opened your video at 3am.)
I know you haven't played too much of Attila but you can actually wipe Alaric's Visigoths on turn 2 if you get lucky. It definitely made the ERE campaign less stressful.
Something tells me he isn't very experienced in the game, considering he had to bribe the Huns to leave him alone after getting rekt by them on Normal difficulty Or is he just trolling? Like he intentionally plays badly for the laughs?
@@exantiuse497 its more like he seems suprised about these things that should have been predictable. The near-constant war between the sassanids and east rome was a defining feature of the time. Same with the arabs in spain. They were in spain for a long time! then again, I guess it is a very british thing to not care about world history before the invasion by William the conqueror.
My playthrough as the Lakhmids was a constant on again off again war with the Sassanids. They'd declare on me, I'd take a couple of their cities, they'd peace out. Rinse and repeat til their demise and all of their client states. I got through the entire game without seeing the Huns a single time or being at war with either Roman Empire a single time. I didn't think either of those was possible.
I remember that I won on maximum difficulty very easily, 10 times easier than in this video. I just destroyed all my cities, leaving only Alexandria. Because of this, the enemies almost never attacked me and I just waited for the money to accumulate, and then I made 20 legions from one city and just destroyed everyone nations =)

The funny thing is that this kinda represents the relationship between the Hund and the Eastern Roman Empire. Rather than totally destroying it, they decided to leave its economy intact and instead just come around and demand money in return for peace.
You know what is even more hilarious to do when you get near that point? Get the faction you don't like so much, give them some 25% of that in a gift, wait until the interest goes back up to near the peak of 2.5b, then gift about 85% of that to them. It's hilarious, because the AI you gifted the gold to is the one that ends up with no money, no interest mechanics, and no matter how much money cheats the AI gets - no realistic way of getting out of that hole :) Yeah, breaking a nation completely is about as simple as that in the game.

I love these 'perfectly balanced' videos, looking forward to more, and I've subscribed and all that, but...

All of these videos feel like they're building and building and building until you're basically god and the enemy doesn't stand a chance, and I can't wait to see what can be done with it, and then... it just ends with no resolution.
It's because, much like in comics, when a superhero has no weaknesses it gets boring. Do you really want to watch him buy off enemy armies for 50 turns as he paints the map?
I have noticed that I always can cheer Spiff with my cup of tea, when he is asking for. Maybe that is because I am always holding a cup of lovely tea with a small slice of lemon. Love your vids, mate!
I would imagine that the reason the Huns were so willing to peace out, is because in real life the eastern Roman Empire, through a combination of strong armies and massive amounts of money, were able to deflect most of the hordes into the western Roman Empire. And the only way to really achieve that in game is by peacing out.
Taxes... you exempt towns from taxes so they dont need food. Then change all the buildings to have garrisons so you dont need to defend the towns and you can switch to a pure offence also use the priest to convert the enemy agents too.
300,000? those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up haha. Vassals, all the vassals, W Rome gave me 150,000 in trade a turn 550,000 total in one of my E Rome plays. three banks, lumber is King. Control the wood control the universe!
Would love to see you play the Equestria at War mod for HoI4. You might be interested for the following reasons: 1) This total conversation mod is very well made with a all new map, with all new trees, with new weapons, all spread across two continents. For both fandoms, the most amazing thing is how such an unexpected crossover of a children's cartoon and WWII RTS just clicks together. 2) There are some interesting factions that can include the unexpected. The Crystal Empire starts with a Choose your own adventure segment that will determine the type of government it will be. Meanwhile, The Dread League is a mageocracy of necromancers that plays more like a Strategy RPG and has endless ranks of the undead that are armed with weapons out of the dark ages... Against nations that could develop nuclear bombs... 3) When played by a human player, Princess Celestia can be turned into a tea powered god empress of the sun. You can have her leading the front lines after her mental breakdown into fascism. She's very overpowered, giving huge bonuses for about 100 days until she presumably runs out of tea.
Technically, to break it even harder, you should have converted to Roman Paganism for the sanitation bonus and because pagan temples don’t cost money in maintenance
