1:28 It seems the Aegean sea has turned a slight brown tint, I’m assuming this is because you might have accidentally converted the province to orthodox in the console.
When they split the empire, 80% of the economic power was in the East. Talk about balance, they had to give Carthage to the West as well as much of the Balkans which was the recruiting ground or they were toast. Through a process i don't know, but the Romans claimed was real, at this late stage "recruiting people in the cities for military duty was pointless since they were useless for the tough life of a soldier" And due to massive increase in the power of the aristocrats the fields were tilled by slaves and not roman citizens, and farmers used to be the prime population for recruits, which is why they turned to Mercenaries more and more. This is the only plausible explanation i've heard for the fall since Rome alone had 1 million citizens, 500k men, maybe 200k in military age... and they couldn't recruit and form endless armies like in Republican times?... its fishy, unless the whole recruitment system had broken down.
@@celdur4635 why would you risk hard life as a soldier if you were provided bread and circus as a roman citizen. There was simply no economic reason for them to join the army, same thing happend in the eastern part,
@@flazzorb Give ottomans coastline of Anatolia and make Karaman form Rum while having Byzantines own their weird-ass region I can't remember the name of.
Damn man I just realized how much work you put in to create these kind of scenarios, I mean converting and culture converting vast lands like that with console should be exhausting, much love
1444 Europe with 1914 borders. Make Austria-Hungary just Austria, without the Personal Union, Russia shouldn't have Siberia and the Middle East should have 1914 borders as well, Finland, Tunis, Morocco and Egypt should be vassals of their owners.
Austria-Hungary in 1914 (from 1867 to the disolution of the Austro-Hungarian empire) was a personal union to make people less wanting to revolt because of more autonomy because that was the only way that the Habsburgs were going to be able to rule that area like how in EUIV someone would also release an area as a vasal to not have to deal with as many revolts, so if you wanted 1914 borders it would make more sense with Austria Hungary as a personal union.
If I had to guess about Rome colonizing Siberia, I'd say that an event gave them a core on a war enemy over there. In the peace deal they demanded the core be returned.
when there the british isles aren't colonizing colonial eastern america isn't colonized because the chesepeake trade node only goes to the english channel, so it isn't very attractive to AIs with their trade nodes in other places. It's good to see Iroquois form they are a cool native formable
someday… “What if the Western Roman, Eastern Roman, Holy Roman, Russian (Third Rome) Empires and the United States (Pax Americana) existed at the same time???”
Seeing Frisian South America is just so weird, and the fact that Red Hawk didn't comment on that (surprised he was baffled that Friesland was the 3rd largest power at 19:44), just wowed me.
It would be interesting if, in the beginning, you had set the two Roman empires as allies and historical friends (and maybe also given them 100 trust towards each other?) (and maybe also revoked any cores and claims they have on each other?) (and maybe also edit their mission trees so they don't want each others' land?). This would hopefully be good enough to keep them focused outwards, instead of beating each other up.
by giving roman empire 2 provinces you basically gave him all of Mexico, Australia, and Siberia because he probably wouldn't of taken exploration or expansion and maybe Byzantium could of colonized it instead because they did get that pu over Muscovy so they would of gotten siberia most likely but 200 dev isnt nothing byz got kinda trolled in this synario
In this alternate universe, imagining that the Roman Empire is still administrated the way it was before (for some reason), I like to imagine the Eastern portion deals with the affairs on the Mainland while the West deals with the affairs on its colonies -- though both still hold the original lands they do, with Byzantium having a somewhat higher authority (don't ask questions). With this imagination we also ignore the wars that happened between them. This is stupid as hell, I know, but I still can't get it off of my head somehow.
Being born in Friesland it was nice seeing Friesland being the third most powerful nation in the world for a little while. And also nice to see all South America having Frisian culture.
Dang, I’d love to see this scenario again! But with a few twists: Borders of 450 would be cool, suevic kingdom & visigoths free. No rule over England. HRE enabled would make this a super fair fight & great scenario!
You should have also reduced development of most of the provinces in the Western Roman Empire, because in the 4th century, most of the west was backwater and the east was generally more developed. That's why the West had more land. The imperial split was roughly equivalent economically for both sides. In 1444, the West would 100% beat the East, since the West can just expand easily into the high-dev but fractured HRE, while the East can only expand into low-dev steppe and desert provinces.
Thats 1 of the main problems of eu4 The dev in western europe in comparison to eastern europe and the middle east is very inaccourate Even with africa Songhai had 10 million inhabitants And mali about 20 at 1500 Morocco 13 million(1600s) Portugal had 1 million England less than 3 Or trade and income wise The middle east had way more trade income than europe And the yearly income of western europe was not better than the east The west should get way later buffs when trade with the new world starts and so on
Trade value is pretty acurate though, the only innacuracy is that it can only be steered into predetermined directions. But majority of the trade income originates in asia.
@@bossenes5020 It's not a problem with EU4. Development isn't supposed to be directly proportional to population without conern with anything else. The map is a fairly good "distribution of power" as it was in 1444. That being said, the dev was completely out of wack for this playthough, but that's because you are bringing entities from a thousand years before into 1444. Ideally, the development would have been rebalanced for whichever year those empires split, which would have resulted in the East being far better off instead. It's not an issue with the game; the game isn't supposed to be played with this context lol.
My best guess for Roman Ob is that Rome at some point ended up rivaled to Oirat and took the ignore coring distance age bonus, went to war with Oirat, and took one province for no reason. Edit: Either that or Oirat or Uzbek at one point got small enough to be vassalized by Rome and then Rome seized land from them and continued colonizing. Edit 2: FINAL GUESS Rome at some point briefly vassalized Transoxiana and colonized off of them into Siberia and then they broke free due to being disconnected. This would also explain Transoxiana's random Catholic province.
That is super unfair. Roman empire has pretty good ideas while Byz ideas are ehhh, not to mention that x3 dev difference 😂. Still a fun what-if nonetheless, though you should've also added the HRE for fun too :P Edit: Still curious as to how Western Rome managed to put colonies in Siberia
How did you form Rome without all the required provinces? Did you give them to them and then reannexed the provinces with Byzantium? I am curious as I would love to have a small rome conquer the world.
Really the "historical" position would've been for both halves to be Catholic, not Orthodox. Papal supremacy was taught in documents submitted to the generally recognized ecumenical councils by popes, and no objection was raised by the councils. 2nd Nicaea even overturned another supposed council as illegitimate because Rome hadn't approved it - which was never done over any other patriarchate being absent from a council.
4th vid of asking for You should do a “What if Islam never took off as a caliphate” and have it so most of Arabia is under an Islam state, but Persia is zoroastrian and still strong, Anatolia is divided up between the Sultanate of Rum, Byzantium, and a few other minors, and that Byzantium still owns greece, Macedonia and Bulgaria, but Egypt is still under islam but in a seperate country from the Caliphate. And also the Levant should have a Cristian Israel and Lebanon, but has a few Turkic ( north and northeast) and islamic (south and southeast) kingdoms surrounding them. One more thing is that the Steppe regions should still be like a tengri faith from the mongols. I think it would be a cool game.
it would be cool if they made a thing where when a big nation annexes a lot of small/ medium countries in a geographic region, the rest of the nations would get an event saying for example spanish threat, and they would have an option to join on a coalition/ offensive war to try and take out the bigger guy. This would be ofset by relation and internal situation of the countries attacking
Forgot that eu 4 has mainly just the 1444 year. Maybe use a mod for an earlier start date to make a what if scenario. Like for example: what if achaemenid empire existed in 1200. Or unified Germanic tribes in 5.
Haha cool video. And now i know what i'd do if i could go back in time: disable the HRE, or kill it before its inception. Not Charlemagne, he good. I mean AFTER. Idk... in the 900s?
What if all countries with colonial desire (France, entire British Isles, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands region, Western Germany, entire Iberia and Morrocco) were united?
Accidently gave roman empire 2 provinces in Siberia. it really hurt in the ;later wars as you see end game with Siberia being occupied. it split the Byzantium forces sending them in the wrong direction. i wonder if that happened in all the wars. something small like that could be devastating. AI has a tendency to focus on sending troops to small enclaves like that.
Luckily, it almost certainly didn't change the result of their conflict in any serious way. With that much dev difference, Western Empire taking slightly better military ideas, and Byzantium's REALLY bad luck with it's capital placement, it didn't do anything. In an ideal world, Byzantium would relocte their capital to the other side of the Bosphorus Straight. If they then managed to maintain ship supremacy by the straight (a lot more possible at least) then it could have had non-negligible changes. Actually, you could even argue that giving the Western Empire interests in the Far East dragged them into a few long and pointless wars where they might otherwise have attacked Byzantium. We don't fully know which way it helped due to the dev increase being a rounding error and not of consequence.
If the Roman Empire went to war with Byzantium then gave them a few provinces in Italy they could start a coalition with the rest of Europe which is big brains
