I like it when Laith honors his Tunisian heritage with correct Arabic pronunciation, and when he honors his English heritage by pronouncing French words like he's riding in the back of a short bus with a gym sock in his mouth.
Hey again Laith! Last update for me about my Najd run you inspired me to try! Took me to the 1750’s but I finally got all the provinces. Turns out forming Arabia doesn’t void the achievement either. Wish I knew that 3-4 hours ago. Had to kill the Ottomans after they betrayed me too (100 trust and favors but they decided that I was evil, or something) so it didn’t end as well as it began. Anyways, glad you’ve stuck it out!
Honestly, I really enjoyed this series, it was truly realistic from a normal player's RNG point of view. For once I feel that the game's non-streamer, real, full bs was exposed and I loved it. Looking for more :)
This part felt like a sitcom. The Ottomans act like the jealous ex, Jaunpur like the toxic partner, and Shewa/Syria are the best friends. Also Mallorca did a Bismarck move "Ally every great power and form a net of alliances", pretty smart 😄 See you next time!
The worst issue with najd is the manpower, luckily in this patch you can abuse the interaction between slacken recruitment standard and negative piety interaction to instantly get back most (if not all) your manpower for 1% profesionnalism. Najd get everything to go for legalism but having ulema in gob and losing 1 stab is worth it for infinite manpower
I have started same campaign last week and just saw your Najd series. Man it feels so good to know someone can understand your pain. I spent 4 days and about 40 whole new runs to get to 1500 without dying and uniting peninsula on VH. This is absolutely not fun campaign but it has something that just makes you go back to it
I feel like you're very much underestimating the power of drilled armies, drilling your armies can massively reduce damage received and also make them capable of doing more damage, you can win against otherwise totally equal enemies if you have more drill and AI does drill their armies
I get how you feel about the Ottomans. In my Persia game (long before the DLC though) we were allied to each other but they also wanted my land. And I was far weaker than them, despite having a lot more dev. They just had so much more troops than my own force limit allowed.
Quality was the way to go, quality + economic give 5 discipline plus 5 from quality plus infantry combat ability and importantly, artilery combat ability.
He is entitled to play the game as he wishes, but I had a hard time seeing him pick first defensive, then quantity over quality or offensive and then choosing offensive over quality when he already picked up economic.
@@noxfelis5333 he can play anyway he wants, this is single-player, he will be fine. He just worried about the Ottoman having more discipline than him thus, quality.
I may be using public wifi at an eye appointment doing Spanish homework with barley anytime, but I can always make time to tell Laith to play a Fire Emblem Game. Day 154, surrender.
AI subjects always guaranteeing Dhimhi Autonomy as Islamic faith, or Guaranteeing Orthodox Autonomy as Catholic is probably the feature I hate most in the game. It really should be changed such that subjects can only issue those estate privleges if and only if their overlord has them issued
So fun fact, I am playing a najd game, well Arabia game now, you can get the achievement for najd if you form Arabia, I got it tonight as Arabia, you should form Arabia as your mission tree locks up until you do. If you do not believe me make a backup save, check the achievement reqs in game, form Arabia, then recheck, you will so no change meaning it still counts you as najd. The wiki and achievement text need to be updated to say start as najd. That said, I don't know if you can form another tag other than Arabia, haven't tried and now can't test it anyways do to getting it as Arabia

Which is even funnier considering he can speak french
@@shotyew1435 So he butcher it all the more brutally.
This is the best comment I've ever seen in a laith video.
For a moment I thought you said he was french @@shotyew1435
Yas: "Maybe if I'll stand still he won't notice me"
It's weird seeing Laith play EU4 and not be in crippling debt
Pretty sure he's still got those student loans.
I think Mallorca got those alliances via independence support, because there is no way that Russia would ally Mallorca otherwise.

Nice.
did you go into india?
@@KKsKrissvs121, yes, but not as much as I went into Russia.
Lots of low dev provinces up there for the achievement.
@@WhiteLama thats smart, i went malacca when i got the achievement. Thats before spain would dec on anyone they border
@@KKsKrissvs121, it’s a bit of a shame because I wanted to roleplay a bit but the achievement requires too much blobbing 😅
The continued existence of Yas is endlessly frustrating
Yas, queen! 👑💋
Yaz, since 1444 the only bastion of peace in Arabia!

9 year old me learning about Vasco da Gama.
Been waiting for the new part of this! One of my favorite series of yours so far

"HE WENT AROUND AFRICA?" killed me
Okay but Majorca is the absolute MVP here with their alliances lmao

I like how Yas is still alive right in the middle of arabia
It made me sad that you didnt give shirvan's old capital back to them.
That war against the Ottomans was amazing. I thought you were screwed until you stackwiped them in that first battle.
I feel like you're very much underestimating the power of drilled armies, drilling your armies can massively reduce damage received and also make them capable of doing more damage, you can win against otherwise totally equal enemies if you have more drill and AI does drill their armies
I love how Yas is just chilling there
I was screaming internally when he, as a theocracy did not pick Divine ideas
most exciting eu4 series out right now, we need to see najd achieve total victory
I get how you feel about the Ottomans. In my Persia game (long before the DLC though) we were allied to each other but they also wanted my land. And I was far weaker than them, despite having a lot more dev. They just had so much more troops than my own force limit allowed.
i really want you to keep this series going, its been great i love it
Yas: If we keep staying still, they won't notice us.
Laith always says its a pain to play this campaign but we all know deep down he loves it
Quality was the way to go, quality + economic give 5 discipline plus 5 from quality plus infantry combat ability and importantly, artilery combat ability.

@@noxfelis5333 Defensive is OP when you have desert forts.
With a title like that in 2024, ofc it's Najd

It even looked like you had fun in this one
In the next ottoman war you should return Shirvan to Shirvan

No matter what, Yas survived
I would love to see you finish this campaign, but please for the love of god. TAKE YAS!
Dang, the suffering portion of the series is over.. ):
Good job Laith.
