29:00 I think Kingdom of Ireland issue is really important. +0.50 prestige +1 diplo relations and -%10 unjustified demands until the end of the game is really good buff.
Also you don't even need to core the land when you take it, you can sit on them un-cored then pass and choose that option and they just deal with all that for you.
Being a PU and given that you will gobble France's land as well, you wont even need to annex them, you will just inherit the entire kingdom. @@somehistorynerd
I play Great Britain a lot and the Burgundy declaration on French subjects has been a consistent thing since domination. I always use that war to make Burgundy end their rivalry with me and then I improve relations with them like crazy. I am able to get the Burgundian inheritance pretty regularly due to this.
Yeah, AI not seeing subjects-of-subjects has been an issue forever. I had a playthrough as Austria over a year ago where Hungary got Moldova and then I got Hungary... Otto attacked solo into a huge alliance/PU bloc multiple times (outnumbered 260k to 50k) - the first time I just white peaced but that just makes them insta attack again in 5 years. So since pdox is never going to fix this I don't feel bad any more about taking the opportunity to weaken a powerful enemy.
IMHO Burgundy declaring un-winnable wars is not a bug but due to Charles'"bold fighter" personality trait, which makes ruler underestimate enemies. Even before the current patch, Burgundy was notorious for declaring on stronger nations.
I think in his case it was a bug that it kept happening, but IDK if it was a bug the first time. I just started this run, and the same thing happened to me, several patches after this video was done, so not sure if it is a bug, but it only happened once. Something he doesn't talk about at all, is that after the PU war, you should probably just fight burgundy, like directly after, if they are rivaled. Use a French CB, but don't take anything, just force him to drop you as a rival, and anyone else that is your ally, and then your good to go. You have to either wait for your AE to drop and hope to god he lives forever, or go this route, and hopefully get in an Alliance before you conquer Ireland and Scotland. Otherwise the AE from the France war won't die off from Burgundy until like 1525, which is far too late. I did it when they attacked me, and was still only barely able to get it, which didn't happen til nearly 1500, which I believe means no horse event for me, so you want to get them as an Ally as soon as possible to reduce the amount of AE you get with them while your doing everything else.
The Kingdom of Ireland isn't really roleplay. It is a fantastic option, and I HIGHLY recommend it. You get an added diplo slot, which you keep even after you later integrate them. You don't have to core them, so you save admin. But the real reason to do it is to avoid the insane rebels that rise up there. You basically need an army to keep Irish rebels down for 50 years, and it eats your money or manpower. It's well worth avoiding those. I take it every run I do with Engand.
Never had rebel problems with Ireland, like ya they will pop one at a time over like ten years, and never more than like 8 dudes. I have a merc stack I get early in every game that I keep all game for rebel smacking even after the army is too small for normal fighting. Having just done the start of this run, I'm at 1500ish, and haven't had them even pop up yet. Your right though about the strength of the decision. It was kind of surprising when he said they were about the same, the Kingdom is the obviously better answer. The rebels aren't htat big of a deal, but Ireland is like most of the Arabian penninsula, you don't really actually want the land. You have to dev it a ton to make it worth anything, and even then it just isn't that great once you start blobbing and are coring Italy for example. Having it held by a PU you can just let them deal with their crap land, and make it better for you, and then randomly one day you'll just inherit them.
getting the Irland PU is really good since you don't have to core anything, so you can safe all the admin points and get 2 really good perma modifiers. And you dont have to deal with the irish rebels
Quick Note: the different rewards for the Mission "The War of the Roses" depend on whether you avoid or complete the disaster. It has nothing to do with letting the Rebels win. If you avoid the Disaster entirely, you get Dynastic security. If you end the Disaster you get a House united.
@@Hardlettyou get +1 yearly legitimacy, +50% heir chance (fertility), and +25% average monarch lifespan for 25 years if you avoid the disaster. If you fire the disaster and win, you get +15% nobility loyalty equilibrium and -10% aggressive expansion impact for the rest of the game. The choice is pretty one sided.
@@osmaniesquijarosa4308 imo triggering the disaster be more beneficial than keeping in check that disaster. And i assuming that to avoid the disaster entirely isnt only for 100 years long
I made some mistakes in my Angevin run, maybe if someone sees this it'll help them: - Always take the 'Crown of...' option to release the PU. You keep the modifiers even after you inherit/integrate the PU. With Ireland in particular, you can take all the provinces in one go then immediately pass the act. -- (Sub-point, the initial missions allow your subjects to own the land, but the second mission with the parliament act requires you to own it directly. It's pretty stupid. But when you do pass the act, your vassals still get subsumed into the new PU.) - If you want the Brentry achievement, for the love of god don't go Anglican - you have to be elected Emperor of the HRE, and if there was no Peace of Westphalia then have fun vassalising electors, flipping to Catholic and annexing every other Catholic monarchy until they vote for you. - Purely an aesthetic choice, but I went through the War of the Roses, changed dynasties a few times, and spent the rest of the game pining over my precious Lancasters :( Don't abandon them like I did...
Cries in i had the perfect start and messed it up. Starting royal marriage with burgundy and the 5%. I supported the independence of norway and they immediately started the war followed by getting the maine event
One additional tip regarding the scripted parliament issues: the ones that are activated by decision DO NOT cancel out already active ones, meaning stuff like the bank act, curtail the french nobility can be chosen first the regular way and AFTERWARDS you can click the decisions. Helps with the mission tree quite a lot.
29:50 Actually it's objectively better than you release Ireland thanks to the permanent modifier you get from 'The Crown if Ireland.' You don't have any immediate threats right now so why worry about getting stronger in the very short term (at the cost of precious admin points, no less?) 46:34 It's actually a good idea to wait to integrate provence because they get cores on Naples for free through their missions once they improve relations with the pope and they have Avignon.
When I play France, I have found a way to always have the Burgundian inheritance for myself, even if they rivaled me and it's pretty simple : I do not rival Burgundy, I improve relations to the max with Burgundy, and sometimes I even go as far I giving them money, and then I go to war against an ally of Burgundy without cobelligerating Burgundy. I peace out Burgundy by canceling it's rivalty with me, and as soon as possible I royal marry Burgundy. When I peace out the country originally attacked, I can ally Burgundy. As France is OP, it's not really difficult, but with other countries it can be harder.
the conditional award for the war of the roses mission does not depend on if you win or lose the disaster, just if you go through it you get the aggressive expansion impact and if you reach the age of reformation without triggering it you get the other stuff.
also DO 100% TAKE THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND, it gives a free diplo relaiton slot and you don't need to spend time coring any of the irish provinces so you just conquer ireland for free basically, it's not "just roleplay"
Kind of a coincidence but I did a CK3 play through using Rollo of Normandie. I landed him and switched to him in non-ironman. Conquered duchy of Normandy, went crazy on culture converting almost everything in de jure Kingdom of France to Normans, then rather than holding the King of England following the RP, I formed Empire of Francia, conquered Kingdom of England, and granting all de jure duchies to people in my dynasty. Then formed a hybrid culture with another hybrid culture called Anglo-Norse (formed by the initial heathen army Norse characters and local Anglo-Saxon population). Which some how automatically was named Angevin. I know certain historically accurate cultures or subcultures do exist in the game files in CK3, like Tunisian, Algerian, and Moroccan etc. but was nice to see Angevin subculture being in that list. Not sure if this is an Easter Egg in Ck3 or what because you can't create Angevin Kingdom or Empire, so I had to change the name and coat of arms manually.
If you plan on going down the Angevin mission path, you can hold off completing the first mission and set up completing the missions on the british tree first. As you can complete them after clicking the mission but before actually making a choice in the popup. A good one to complete is the Royal Warrants because it allows you to make trade protectorates through a government Tier 7 reform later on in the game. Mainland Alliances, abolish the villeinage and found the royal navy are also missions you can do fairly early without it affecting the game too much by delaying taking the new mission tree
There is a reason to win the war of the roses. Higher prestige means less AE so there would be an even lower chance of a coalition forming and allow you to keep expanding faster.
1:52 I had to restart for an hour straight to get the Centralize Land Ownership Dabate. This is NOT a critique to Red Hawk. Simply sharing my own experience with others.
If you do the acts if crown for ireland, Spain, etc. Im pretty sure you get permanent bonuses so it's not just roleplay. Plus there's Ana chievement for doing all of them in 1 run
Ah the Angevin Empire. Its an amazingly fun nation to play but it can be a challenge to get it off the ground. 1: Keep France as long as you can or want to. If you or your subject (important: Your subject so France needs to annex its appanages) own all of France and France has less than 40 provinces, you can instantly integrate them via the Parliament issue given to you by a mission. If France has more than 40 provinces, you have to own Anjou and Paris. If you don't have either of those, then you have to do it the old fashioned way which takes a million years. France has an insanely powerful military even as a subject so they will help you win a ton of wars especially in Spain and Italy, which is where your mission tree wants you to go. 1a: A neat trick you can do during the Hundred Years War is to, the day the war starts, select what you want in the peace deal and see who will be upset and join a coalition then. That way, you can begin improving immediately with the most powerful of those nations before you even win the war, resulting in them never even attempting to join the coalition. You can do this as any nation and is a good way to avoid coalitions in high AE areas. The most important nation to do this with is Austria. If Austria joins the coalition, it will almost always fire, but it will rarely fire if they don't. Getting Austria as an ally is also a bonus for avoiding them declaring on you if you get the Burgundian Inheritance, which you should definitely try to do whenever possible. 2: Burgundy will sometimes attack one of France's appanages like happened to Hawk here because the AI doesn't properly calculate the strength of a subject's subject. Its the same thing that caused Burgundy to attack Liege constantly in earlier patches because they didn't properly calculate that the Emperor would join since they aren't in the HRE. Use this war to end Burgundy's rivalry with you and you will probably be able to flip them friendly to get a royal marriage to them. Even if they don't declare, you have lots of ways to this, namely you get claims over their entire territory so you can just declare yourself and end it. You just have to do it fast as you never know when Charles the bold is gonna die. If you do get the PU, congrats, the hard part of the game is completely over. You may not even want the Horse event as having both France and Burgundy as continental PUs gives you an almost unstoppable military that you don't even have to pay for. 3: Savescum constantly. Angevin starts can be pretty RNG at times so keeping a healthy eye on the Alt+F4 keys can be a good idea. Especially if you mistime the WotR or your ruler dies before you can get France loyal enough, Burgundy's ruler dies before you can get a royal marriage in, etc. Side note: Losing France may as well be an instant game over. You won't survive the AE needed to get them back as a PU assuming you are even strong enough to get them back to begin with. 4: You want to take a lot of military ideas but you should generally go Diplo/Admin first because you are gonna be expanding into some super high dev territory, and it will also help you take colonial provinces as well since your first enemy after getting France and unifying the Isles is gonna be your old allies in Spain and Portugal. Your economy will, in effect, fix itself but only if you can core and state those provinces in a timely manner. Basically, you play the Angevins like you are France, except you are English and your capital is in London instead of Paris. Take Religious if you intend to go Anglican so you can convert quickly, otherwise don't go Anglican, or if you do go Anglican, make sure you don't take the decision that gives you a Reformation Center in London as that will TANK your relations with your PUs since they are all Catholic. 5: Make sure you do Estate Agendas constantly. With the new icons, its not as easy to forget, and while England isn't quite as bad as say, the Ottomans or Russia, you do have some pretty strong missions gatekept by Estate Agendas and Estate Loyalty. 6: Decide at the beginning of the game if you want to avoid the War of the Roses or not. Its easier to avoid it now but if you ever reach about 35% disaster progress, you will get an event that basically guarantees (it gives Henry -100% fertility) you will never get an heir except via event. This is completely RNG and you also have to make sure the heir has the Platagenet, York, or Lancaster dynasty as well. Similarly, the War can still fire later, for example you get Henry the 8th as a scripted 5/5/5 ruler around 1480ish and if you make him your ruler, he won't have an heir which can fire the disaster, which is especially disastrous since you only needed to wait a few more years to avoid it entirely. 29:07 As pointed out in other comments, it is ALWAYS better to make Ireland your PU. It gives you prestige, diplo rep and unjustified demands for the rest of the game, plus Ireland will sometimes colonize for you. I'm not sure if its a mission or a national idea or whatever, but I've noticed that Ireland with occasionally colonize some Canadian provinces. This is pretty good for giving you a foothold in the New World since you definitely wanna go the old France route of "you colonize by conquering all of the colonizers after they colonized everything" and take mostly military ideas.
I know this is 9 months after, but if anyone reading this: if you select dynasty in war of the roses take York dynasty - you have guaranteed 2 extreme good rulers from events later in the game, so it's worth to lose some points now, to get a lot more later
nice, i got it and it only took me FIFTEEN tries. turns out the debate is still in the game after all time to create a save file called CENTRALIZE LAND OWNERSHIP DEBATE as a starting point
"I only had to restart once" then me over here having to restart at least six times before I got centralize ownership...not counting the times I had to restart because the AI DOES NOT SPLIT THEIR ARMIES UP. They only corner you and stackwipe you. You HAVE to whitepeace or something in the first war and get the union after once you can call in your allies.
@@TheRedHawk Did you do this guide in the end? I'd love to see it? And I don't see another England/Great Britain guide that's younger than this one? (though I may have missed something!)
I recently finished an Angevin Empire run which ended up being my best game ever. I PU'd Spain, had a number of vassals and by time the game ended I owned or my subjects/PU's owned all of the America's, most of Africa, most of the middle East and much of the Pacific Islands. I ended the game making about 2000 ducats a month.
How did you finish war of roses disaster during the war with France? In my run pretender couldn't win because "rebels cannot fully break a country at war". Anyone else experienced this?
@@sdfgvfbg i also thought that this disaster couldnt end before peace. however, once they siege down london, a countdown begins. you should wait until this countdown is over, couldnt remember the exact month length but not that long maybe 12 monhts, then you can make rebels win and then peace out with france.
1. You don't have to core anything in Ireland if you're taking the PU option. The bonus you get also stays after you integrate Ireland, so it's objectively the better option imo. 2. You could've waited on annexing Provence. Ask France to return core province to them to remove one more province from them, and get Provence to 100 dev so they get core on Naples. If your subject Provence has the Neapolitan lands, all of them would be transferred to the Italian PU when you complete the Italian mission. 3. You could've just ended rivalry with Burgundy in any war you had with them. You don't even have to declare on them directly for that.
Not sure if you can still get favours with PUs, but if you can, there are two French provinces that a cores of England and Provence respectively. Why annex Provence? They have some really cool missions. Get them Corsica and they get the re-conquest of Naples. An easy into into the Med for England.
I just so happened to be doing an HRE dismantle Angevin Kingdom currently too. I had the exact same thing happen where Burgundy declared a doomed war on a French subject immediately after I PU'd them. Realistically it was a great help to me, but i'm like you, the AI is clearly not seeing a subject's overlord's overlord or something to that effect which is leading to shenanigans, particularly in Europe. I had no clue Paradox had added the Angevin Kingdom and was intending to do a max diplo annex GB build, but I saw the Angevin Kingdom and changes to the mission tree and had to test this out. Angevin Kingdom stronk!!!
28:56 The permanent extra diplo relation and reduced cost for unjustified demands is actually a pretty good non-RP reason to do it. Also, you can save several hundred admin points by just not coring any of Ireland and then handing the island off to the PU instead.
I really wish the mission that gives Henry IV +2 to all stats also gave you an heir or just hard turned off the War of the Roses. The war started because of waning power and prestige of the English throne causing other problems to flare up, but the +2 to all stats says that this is an alternate timeline in which King Henry IV proves he isn't actually weak and infirm and can get stuff done, so the War of the Roses shouldn't trigger at all.
At around @0:22:00 you chose Diplo over Influence for a vassal heavy game. This seems like a balance issue between the ideas groups? Isn't Influence aimed at vassal swarm and Diplo more of a *Oops, did I conquer that? Please forgive me* smooth international relations kind of idea group?
I’m from Gloucester and you pronouncing it correctly just made me audibly happy to which my family wanted to know what was going on and they saw it and had the same reaction 😂
14:31 youre wrong, second option is if you avoid disaster and it dont fire at all till end of age of discovery. First option is after the end of disaster, no mater which side win.
I would love to see a Great Britain guide! Also, how would you deal with gov cap issues if you expanded more into the HRE? In my campaign, I decided to take over the Lubeck trade node, but I am at least 300-400 over my gov cap with courthouses.
I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get that +5% crown lands parliament debate. I tried reloading at least 20 times and even played several playthroughs for 4-5 years and never saw it. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on or how I can get it? I keep waiting for it to show up before I give out the +1 mana privileges and that is really hurting my mana generation. Thank you all in advance!
Kingdom of Ireland is such a useful event - it means you don't have to spend a shit load of admin coring Ireland; just take the provinces and release them again as a pu
I have to say this guide is not up to your usual quality, sorry :( First of all, just minor, but the crownland issue is _super_ rare, you'll have to restart 10+ times on average to get it once. Then first you go "Well _maybe_ you're able to call in your allies in the war against France, but this is optional" to only a minute later declare that the strategy to win this war is "Never fight the French stacks and just hold on until your allies can save you", and _then_ you finish by recommending having the pretender rebels enforce their demands before the war ends which does not work, rebels don't enforce demands while you're at war, I tried it and it's the same for the War of the Roses, the rebels stuck at 95% even after conquering the whole of England and all that happens is your nation plunges into bankruptcy. I'm not saying this just to dunk on you, you're my favorite EU4 youtuber and usually I love your stuff, but this just seems off :(
He really rushed this one out, just to capitalize on the hype. This guide has more blunders than it has actual tips to the point where you are more likely to succeed playing blind like any other playthrough while possibly looking at some pointers on forums.
@@subzerosanijsYeah that's exactly why I felt the need to point it out. Even in the later stuff, there's a lot of sloppy or plain incorrect information, like not explaining the effects of both the War of the Roses and the Ireland missions correctly.
Already done that, was just interested in how he'd do it :) Been experimenting with different ideas etc to start with but was pretty successful stopping everyone else form colonising etc@BobbiusRossius
I tried to let the rebels win during the war with france, but they were not able to take power until I was at peace. So I lost the union with the new king. You should’nt use console commands in a walkthroug.
its much easier to not delete your forts, wait for roses to trigger before enforcing piece, then when you chose between yorks and lancaters get the french throne and instantly relocate your troops to the island and deal with rebels. it took about 13 loans for me, but it is basically 5-10 years of countryboosting worth of trouble. sets you back a little, but come on its a single player you will get bored after forming this purple greatness anyway, so why rush?
Similar issues. Rebels won't enforce before bankruptcy, but going back to the mainland makes it fairly difficult to deal with the war in parallel. Guide needs a refresh.
Alternatively you can sell maine to provance, do the mission and curry favours with your allies. When You are ready, use union CB from the mission and then defeat France. Less tryhatd option in my opinion.
You know you can just get both the English and Angevin missions: simply don't activate the mission where you have to choose until you can complete all English missions while the event to choose Angevin missions is open.
That won't work, because most British missions follow after the hundred years war mission. Missions that don't follow are the same for both mission trees.
@@НилИванов-ж1ц As long as the popup that allows you to choose angevin missions is open, you can follow the english mission tree beyond the 100 year war mission.
I've been struggling to do a Poland run in 1.36 for a while, and some of the missions changed from your 1.34 guide (specifically, one of them is a permanent claim on all of Bohemia rather than a subjugation, I haven't gotten super far.) Is Poland a popular enough nation for an updated guide? Thank you!
was occupying France 99% and waiting for pretender rebels to enforce when i saw they were stuck at 95% saying something like "they can't break the country if we're at war" :( what am i doing wrong?
Provence gets cores on Naples with Corsica or enough dev, which is useful if Castile/Spain took that PU. Also, Italy as a PU makes conquering the Pope possible as a Catholic, but that would happen anyway if he joined the HRE and you revoked.
just a note the AI not considering subjects of subjects when declaring war has been an issue for a bit, at least since 1.35. it kept happening in my last Angevin game (ironically enough). from my pov, its common enough to take advantage of in a 1.36 guide.
With Irelane you should release them as PU and get the free inheritance later. There's some pretty good permanent modifiers ifbyou do like diplo rep and diplo relations. Plus Ireland will just sit and dev their province so they're all like 30-40 by the time you get the free inhertance
LOL 1448 event didn't pop up yet, i guess ill wait and see when it will. Managed to get Burgundy. Started a quick war against them, force them out of rivalry, then used every single possible decision and influence on them, giving them money etc, and they finally liked me.
If Burgundy delare on a French subject like shown, you should peacethem out by ending their rivalry with you in order to improge your chances of getting the inheritance.
If you're a newer player you'll probably need to just promise castille/aragon/burgandy some land, you probably won't be able to beat the French without their help.
It would make sense to break Burgundy’s rivalry with you if you’re looking to RM them for BI. I feel that would have been worth mentioning as a novice may not consider it in a peace deal.
Hello! I am a bit new to your channel and love the videos but I saw something that I dont think you ever mentioned. But what mods do you use for your visuals/bigger peace screen? Thanks! Cant wait for more uploads!
Thanks for this guide I'm new to eu4 but not eu so thought I'd try something nice and easy to learn! ;) But while this guide is great it leaves out all the skilled bits, like how to actually avoid the starting French death stacks. I know I need to, I know I need to siege down the forts etc, and then avoid fighting the French. I know I can stack up to put them off, but does that mean I always keep them together or I need to lift fog of war. Surrender of Maine fired quite early for me, I only have 2 favours with my allies so I need to survive for quire awhile with out them, Scotland has stayed out of it though, allied to Brittany instead of France. So do you have a guide on fighting wars as the underdog anywhere or know of a good one? I love your videos!
I just got the perfect start, and Castille declared on Aragon for the Navarra throne, they destroyed my game for a 3 dev province in the spanish mountains
You don't really need to restart. They tick over and offer a new mix of debates every month. Just delay taking the crownland and choosing a debate until it appears. Sure you might lose a few months of MANA but as long as it pops within the first say 6 months it's not a big deal
The best bet with Burgandy if they start off rivaled to you is to not rival them back go to war with them as early as possible remove yourself as a rival in the peace deal, improve relations and then pray to RNG gods.
Did the conditions change? Last time i formed Angevin Kingdom i had to form it before France annexed their subjects. I think it was like 25 cities, not 40. Also btw Burgundy declearing war on a French subject is pretty common (it happened to me every time i play as England)

YES! Always take it, adds great buffs, avoids coring them, and avoids the rebels which are crazy
And you can always annex them latter
Also you don't even need to core the land when you take it, you can sit on them un-cored then pass and choose that option and they just deal with all that for you.
Being a PU and given that you will gobble France's land as well, you wont even need to annex them, you will just inherit the entire kingdom. @@somehistorynerd
@@duartegoni agree, donot need to waste lots of diplo points, just wait for the inheritance

I play Great Britain a lot and the Burgundy declaration on French subjects has been a consistent thing since domination. I always use that war to make Burgundy end their rivalry with me and then I improve relations with them like crazy. I am able to get the Burgundian inheritance pretty regularly due to this.
Nice!
Yeah, AI not seeing subjects-of-subjects has been an issue forever. I had a playthrough as Austria over a year ago where Hungary got Moldova and then I got Hungary... Otto attacked solo into a huge alliance/PU bloc multiple times (outnumbered 260k to 50k) - the first time I just white peaced but that just makes them insta attack again in 5 years. So since pdox is never going to fix this I don't feel bad any more about taking the opportunity to weaken a powerful enemy.
IMHO Burgundy declaring un-winnable wars is not a bug but due to Charles'"bold fighter" personality trait, which makes ruler underestimate enemies. Even before the current patch, Burgundy was notorious for declaring on stronger nations.
I remember burgundy declaring on luxemburg and fighting autria every single game xd
@@theob.8937wasent it liege
I think in his case it was a bug that it kept happening, but IDK if it was a bug the first time. I just started this run, and the same thing happened to me, several patches after this video was done, so not sure if it is a bug, but it only happened once.
Something he doesn't talk about at all, is that after the PU war, you should probably just fight burgundy, like directly after, if they are rivaled. Use a French CB, but don't take anything, just force him to drop you as a rival, and anyone else that is your ally, and then your good to go. You have to either wait for your AE to drop and hope to god he lives forever, or go this route, and hopefully get in an Alliance before you conquer Ireland and Scotland. Otherwise the AE from the France war won't die off from Burgundy until like 1525, which is far too late.
I did it when they attacked me, and was still only barely able to get it, which didn't happen til nearly 1500, which I believe means no horse event for me, so you want to get them as an Ally as soon as possible to reduce the amount of AE you get with them while your doing everything else.
The Kingdom of Ireland isn't really roleplay. It is a fantastic option, and I HIGHLY recommend it. You get an added diplo slot, which you keep even after you later integrate them. You don't have to core them, so you save admin. But the real reason to do it is to avoid the insane rebels that rise up there. You basically need an army to keep Irish rebels down for 50 years, and it eats your money or manpower. It's well worth avoiding those. I take it every run I do with Engand.
Never had rebel problems with Ireland, like ya they will pop one at a time over like ten years, and never more than like 8 dudes. I have a merc stack I get early in every game that I keep all game for rebel smacking even after the army is too small for normal fighting. Having just done the start of this run, I'm at 1500ish, and haven't had them even pop up yet.
Your right though about the strength of the decision. It was kind of surprising when he said they were about the same, the Kingdom is the obviously better answer. The rebels aren't htat big of a deal, but Ireland is like most of the Arabian penninsula, you don't really actually want the land. You have to dev it a ton to make it worth anything, and even then it just isn't that great once you start blobbing and are coring Italy for example. Having it held by a PU you can just let them deal with their crap land, and make it better for you, and then randomly one day you'll just inherit them.
getting the Irland PU is really good since you don't have to core anything, so you can safe all the admin points and get 2 really good perma modifiers. And you dont have to deal with the irish rebels
And when you integrate them?
@@Airland-xx3pryou keep the modifiers
Quick Note: the different rewards for the Mission "The War of the Roses" depend on whether you avoid or complete the disaster. It has nothing to do with letting the Rebels win.
If you avoid the Disaster entirely, you get Dynastic security.
If you end the Disaster you get a House united.
If i may know. What modifiers we would get if we choose either one of these?
@@Hardlettyou get +1 yearly legitimacy, +50% heir chance (fertility), and +25% average monarch lifespan for 25 years if you avoid the disaster. If you fire the disaster and win, you get +15% nobility loyalty equilibrium and -10% aggressive expansion impact for the rest of the game. The choice is pretty one sided.
@@osmaniesquijarosa4308not till the end of the game, only till the end of the Age of Discovery. Still good, but not insane.
@@osmaniesquijarosa4308 imo triggering the disaster be more beneficial than keeping in check that disaster. And i assuming that to avoid the disaster entirely isnt only for 100 years long
@@liamreitsma5312 you should tell that to the fella that wrote the wiki, that’s what it said on there.
I made some mistakes in my Angevin run, maybe if someone sees this it'll help them:
- Always take the 'Crown of...' option to release the PU. You keep the modifiers even after you inherit/integrate the PU. With Ireland in particular, you can take all the provinces in one go then immediately pass the act.
-- (Sub-point, the initial missions allow your subjects to own the land, but the second mission with the parliament act requires you to own it directly. It's pretty stupid. But when you do pass the act, your vassals still get subsumed into the new PU.)
- If you want the Brentry achievement, for the love of god don't go Anglican - you have to be elected Emperor of the HRE, and if there was no Peace of Westphalia then have fun vassalising electors, flipping to Catholic and annexing every other Catholic monarchy until they vote for you.
- Purely an aesthetic choice, but I went through the War of the Roses, changed dynasties a few times, and spent the rest of the game pining over my precious Lancasters :( Don't abandon them like I did...
I always try to abandon the Lancasters for the Plantagenets. You've got to role-play that true Angevin Empire!
Cries in "it took me over 20 restarts to get the 5% crownland debate"
Cries in i had the perfect start and messed it up. Starting royal marriage with burgundy and the 5%. I supported the independence of norway and they immediately started the war followed by getting the maine event
One additional tip regarding the scripted parliament issues: the ones that are activated by decision DO NOT cancel out already active ones, meaning stuff like the bank act, curtail the french nobility can be chosen first the regular way and AFTERWARDS you can click the decisions. Helps with the mission tree quite a lot.
? Explain plz? How else do you unlock the issue
@@Speedster___hes meaning you can do it without waiting for the old modifier to run out without wasting either modifier
I started watching your videos with subtitles, now i'm doing it without. You improved my english listening, thank you sensei
29:50 Actually it's objectively better than you release Ireland thanks to the permanent modifier you get from 'The Crown if Ireland.' You don't have any immediate threats right now so why worry about getting stronger in the very short term (at the cost of precious admin points, no less?)
46:34 It's actually a good idea to wait to integrate provence because they get cores on Naples for free through their missions once they improve relations with the pope and they have Avignon.
When I play France, I have found a way to always have the Burgundian inheritance for myself, even if they rivaled me and it's pretty simple : I do not rival Burgundy, I improve relations to the max with Burgundy, and sometimes I even go as far I giving them money, and then I go to war against an ally of Burgundy without cobelligerating Burgundy. I peace out Burgundy by canceling it's rivalty with me, and as soon as possible I royal marry Burgundy. When I peace out the country originally attacked, I can ally Burgundy.
As France is OP, it's not really difficult, but with other countries it can be harder.
As long Burgundy willing to accept your marriage offer, its 90% win right there
Just wanted to say @pierrehenry8208, that is a genius idea and I wish I had heard of it sooner, thanks for sharing it.
(Don't know if it improves the odds but) You don't have to ally to get Burgundian Inheritence by the way. Royal marriage is enough.
I'd love to see a Great Britain guide as well!
the conditional award for the war of the roses mission does not depend on if you win or lose the disaster, just if you go through it you get the aggressive expansion impact and if you reach the age of reformation without triggering it you get the other stuff.
also DO 100% TAKE THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND, it gives a free diplo relaiton slot and you don't need to spend time coring any of the irish provinces so you just conquer ireland for free basically, it's not "just roleplay"
Kind of a coincidence but I did a CK3 play through using Rollo of Normandie. I landed him and switched to him in non-ironman. Conquered duchy of Normandy, went crazy on culture converting almost everything in de jure Kingdom of France to Normans, then rather than holding the King of England following the RP, I formed Empire of Francia, conquered Kingdom of England, and granting all de jure duchies to people in my dynasty. Then formed a hybrid culture with another hybrid culture called Anglo-Norse (formed by the initial heathen army Norse characters and local Anglo-Saxon population). Which some how automatically was named Angevin. I know certain historically accurate cultures or subcultures do exist in the game files in CK3, like Tunisian, Algerian, and Moroccan etc. but was nice to see Angevin subculture being in that list. Not sure if this is an Easter Egg in Ck3 or what because you can't create Angevin Kingdom or Empire, so I had to change the name and coat of arms manually.
just finished my first ever wc with angevin empire, super fun campaign, probably 2nd favourite of all time
What’s your fav
@@Speedster___ teutonic order crusader path
If you plan on going down the Angevin mission path, you can hold off completing the first mission and set up completing the missions on the british tree first. As you can complete them after clicking the mission but before actually making a choice in the popup. A good one to complete is the Royal Warrants because it allows you to make trade protectorates through a government Tier 7 reform later on in the game. Mainland Alliances, abolish the villeinage and found the royal navy are also missions you can do fairly early without it affecting the game too much by delaying taking the new mission tree
There is a reason to win the war of the roses. Higher prestige means less AE so there would be an even lower chance of a coalition forming and allow you to keep expanding faster.
1:52 I had to restart for an hour straight to get the Centralize Land Ownership Dabate. This is NOT a critique to Red Hawk. Simply sharing my own experience with others.
I get it literally every other game, not sure why you aren't getting it as often
Can’t wait to see the Great Britain guide 🤞
If you do the acts if crown for ireland, Spain, etc. Im pretty sure you get permanent bonuses so it's not just roleplay. Plus there's Ana chievement for doing all of them in 1 run
Great Britain guide would be helpful, I would really like to see one after you get persia and maybe rassids done
im so confused how you got the end of the war of the roses while at war with france??? rebels can't break a nation that's at war
Yeh me too?!
Ah the Angevin Empire. Its an amazingly fun nation to play but it can be a challenge to get it off the ground.
1: Keep France as long as you can or want to. If you or your subject (important: Your subject so France needs to annex its appanages) own all of France and France has less than 40 provinces, you can instantly integrate them via the Parliament issue given to you by a mission. If France has more than 40 provinces, you have to own Anjou and Paris. If you don't have either of those, then you have to do it the old fashioned way which takes a million years. France has an insanely powerful military even as a subject so they will help you win a ton of wars especially in Spain and Italy, which is where your mission tree wants you to go.
1a: A neat trick you can do during the Hundred Years War is to, the day the war starts, select what you want in the peace deal and see who will be upset and join a coalition then. That way, you can begin improving immediately with the most powerful of those nations before you even win the war, resulting in them never even attempting to join the coalition. You can do this as any nation and is a good way to avoid coalitions in high AE areas. The most important nation to do this with is Austria. If Austria joins the coalition, it will almost always fire, but it will rarely fire if they don't. Getting Austria as an ally is also a bonus for avoiding them declaring on you if you get the Burgundian Inheritance, which you should definitely try to do whenever possible.
2: Burgundy will sometimes attack one of France's appanages like happened to Hawk here because the AI doesn't properly calculate the strength of a subject's subject. Its the same thing that caused Burgundy to attack Liege constantly in earlier patches because they didn't properly calculate that the Emperor would join since they aren't in the HRE. Use this war to end Burgundy's rivalry with you and you will probably be able to flip them friendly to get a royal marriage to them. Even if they don't declare, you have lots of ways to this, namely you get claims over their entire territory so you can just declare yourself and end it. You just have to do it fast as you never know when Charles the bold is gonna die. If you do get the PU, congrats, the hard part of the game is completely over. You may not even want the Horse event as having both France and Burgundy as continental PUs gives you an almost unstoppable military that you don't even have to pay for.
3: Savescum constantly. Angevin starts can be pretty RNG at times so keeping a healthy eye on the Alt+F4 keys can be a good idea. Especially if you mistime the WotR or your ruler dies before you can get France loyal enough, Burgundy's ruler dies before you can get a royal marriage in, etc. Side note: Losing France may as well be an instant game over. You won't survive the AE needed to get them back as a PU assuming you are even strong enough to get them back to begin with.
4: You want to take a lot of military ideas but you should generally go Diplo/Admin first because you are gonna be expanding into some super high dev territory, and it will also help you take colonial provinces as well since your first enemy after getting France and unifying the Isles is gonna be your old allies in Spain and Portugal. Your economy will, in effect, fix itself but only if you can core and state those provinces in a timely manner. Basically, you play the Angevins like you are France, except you are English and your capital is in London instead of Paris. Take Religious if you intend to go Anglican so you can convert quickly, otherwise don't go Anglican, or if you do go Anglican, make sure you don't take the decision that gives you a Reformation Center in London as that will TANK your relations with your PUs since they are all Catholic.
5: Make sure you do Estate Agendas constantly. With the new icons, its not as easy to forget, and while England isn't quite as bad as say, the Ottomans or Russia, you do have some pretty strong missions gatekept by Estate Agendas and Estate Loyalty.
6: Decide at the beginning of the game if you want to avoid the War of the Roses or not. Its easier to avoid it now but if you ever reach about 35% disaster progress, you will get an event that basically guarantees (it gives Henry -100% fertility) you will never get an heir except via event. This is completely RNG and you also have to make sure the heir has the Platagenet, York, or Lancaster dynasty as well. Similarly, the War can still fire later, for example you get Henry the 8th as a scripted 5/5/5 ruler around 1480ish and if you make him your ruler, he won't have an heir which can fire the disaster, which is especially disastrous since you only needed to wait a few more years to avoid it entirely.
29:07 As pointed out in other comments, it is ALWAYS better to make Ireland your PU. It gives you prestige, diplo rep and unjustified demands for the rest of the game, plus Ireland will sometimes colonize for you. I'm not sure if its a mission or a national idea or whatever, but I've noticed that Ireland with occasionally colonize some Canadian provinces. This is pretty good for giving you a foothold in the New World since you definitely wanna go the old France route of "you colonize by conquering all of the colonizers after they colonized everything" and take mostly military ideas.
I know this is 9 months after, but if anyone reading this: if you select dynasty in war of the roses take York dynasty - you have guaranteed 2 extreme good rulers from events later in the game, so it's worth to lose some points now, to get a lot more later
nice, i got it and it only took me FIFTEEN tries. turns out the debate is still in the game after all
time to create a save file called CENTRALIZE LAND OWNERSHIP DEBATE as a starting point
"I only had to restart once" then me over here having to restart at least six times before I got centralize ownership...not counting the times I had to restart because the AI DOES NOT SPLIT THEIR ARMIES UP. They only corner you and stackwipe you. You HAVE to whitepeace or something in the first war and get the union after once you can call in your allies.
Also the last time I played an angevin empire run it took me about 27 restarts to get the crownlands debate so results may vary greatly lol
Thank you I was so surprised no one mentioned this, I'm up to 14 restarts now trying to get this rolling.
It's definitely not at all necessary to use that debate. I like to boost my reform progress personally.
Trying this currently and I am at my 30th time with no luck.
Oh I thought they updated and got rid of it, i just tried about 15 restarts and still didnt get it
How long until high dev, early coal, colonial and trade master Great Britain?
Soon
@@TheRedHawk Did you do this guide in the end? I'd love to see it? And I don't see another England/Great Britain guide that's younger than this one? (though I may have missed something!)
the video is back 😮
I recently finished an Angevin Empire run which ended up being my best game ever. I PU'd Spain, had a number of vassals and by time the game ended I owned or my subjects/PU's owned all of the America's, most of Africa, most of the middle East and much of the Pacific Islands. I ended the game making about 2000 ducats a month.
How did you finish war of roses disaster during the war with France? In my run pretender couldn't win because "rebels cannot fully break a country at war".
Anyone else experienced this?
exactly, he didnt explain this critical detail at all
@@sdfgvfbg i also thought that this disaster couldnt end before peace. however, once they siege down london, a countdown begins. you should wait until this countdown is over, couldnt remember the exact month length but not that long maybe 12 monhts, then you can make rebels win and then peace out with france.
@@lebronsoadthe countdown stalls
ALWAYS RELEASE IRELAND AS PU. The modifiers you gain from this will last until the end of the game.
Would be fun to see the other side too! For GB 😊😊😊 your vids are always amazing! Keep it up
Childhood is when you idolise the de Valois dynasty. Adulthood is when you realise that Edward III.'s claim makes more sense.
1. You don't have to core anything in Ireland if you're taking the PU option. The bonus you get also stays after you integrate Ireland, so it's objectively the better option imo.
2. You could've waited on annexing Provence. Ask France to return core province to them to remove one more province from them, and get Provence to 100 dev so they get core on Naples. If your subject Provence has the Neapolitan lands, all of them would be transferred to the Italian PU when you complete the Italian mission.
3. You could've just ended rivalry with Burgundy in any war you had with them. You don't even have to declare on them directly for that.
Not sure if you can still get favours with PUs, but if you can, there are two French provinces that a cores of England and Provence respectively. Why annex Provence? They have some really cool missions. Get them Corsica and they get the re-conquest of Naples. An easy into into the Med for England.
I just so happened to be doing an HRE dismantle Angevin Kingdom currently too. I had the exact same thing happen where Burgundy declared a doomed war on a French subject immediately after I PU'd them. Realistically it was a great help to me, but i'm like you, the AI is clearly not seeing a subject's overlord's overlord or something to that effect which is leading to shenanigans, particularly in Europe. I had no clue Paradox had added the Angevin Kingdom and was intending to do a max diplo annex GB build, but I saw the Angevin Kingdom and changes to the mission tree and had to test this out. Angevin Kingdom stronk!!!
28:56
The permanent extra diplo relation and reduced cost for unjustified demands is actually a pretty good non-RP reason to do it. Also, you can save several hundred admin points by just not coring any of Ireland and then handing the island off to the PU instead.
Def want a 1.37 updated GB guide
This is nice and was able to follow as a beginner and get powerful so wonder what I could do as GB.
I really wish the mission that gives Henry IV +2 to all stats also gave you an heir or just hard turned off the War of the Roses. The war started because of waning power and prestige of the English throne causing other problems to flare up, but the +2 to all stats says that this is an alternate timeline in which King Henry IV proves he isn't actually weak and infirm and can get stuff done, so the War of the Roses shouldn't trigger at all.
At around @0:22:00 you chose Diplo over Influence for a vassal heavy game. This seems like a balance issue between the ideas groups? Isn't Influence aimed at vassal swarm and Diplo more of a *Oops, did I conquer that? Please forgive me* smooth international relations kind of idea group?
I have restarted 30 times and not got that parliament issue.
Ah yes The Angeving guide of the Hawk
Yes of course
I’m from Gloucester and you pronouncing it correctly just made me audibly happy to which my family wanted to know what was going on and they saw it and had the same reaction 😂
great britain guide!!!!
Been waiting for a long time on this one
14:31 youre wrong, second option is if you avoid disaster and it dont fire at all till end of age of discovery. First option is after the end of disaster, no mater which side win.
I would love to see a Great Britain guide! Also, how would you deal with gov cap issues if you expanded more into the HRE? In my campaign, I decided to take over the Lubeck trade node, but I am at least 300-400 over my gov cap with courthouses.
Great Britain guide? Yes please!
I'd love to see a Great Britain guide.
“House of York, House of York!!” There is an audiobook on TH-cam about the War of the Roses. It’s a good listen.
I am not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get that +5% crown lands parliament debate. I tried reloading at least 20 times and even played several playthroughs for 4-5 years and never saw it. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on or how I can get it? I keep waiting for it to show up before I give out the +1 mana privileges and that is really hurting my mana generation. Thank you all in advance!
Great Britain guide next please :)
Hell I would love to see full campaign done by you !
Kingdom of Ireland is such a useful event - it means you don't have to spend a shit load of admin coring Ireland; just take the provinces and release them again as a pu
Why not force Burgundy to remove you as their rival during one of those wars?
I have to say this guide is not up to your usual quality, sorry :( First of all, just minor, but the crownland issue is _super_ rare, you'll have to restart 10+ times on average to get it once. Then first you go "Well _maybe_ you're able to call in your allies in the war against France, but this is optional" to only a minute later declare that the strategy to win this war is "Never fight the French stacks and just hold on until your allies can save you", and _then_ you finish by recommending having the pretender rebels enforce their demands before the war ends which does not work, rebels don't enforce demands while you're at war, I tried it and it's the same for the War of the Roses, the rebels stuck at 95% even after conquering the whole of England and all that happens is your nation plunges into bankruptcy.
I'm not saying this just to dunk on you, you're my favorite EU4 youtuber and usually I love your stuff, but this just seems off :(
He really rushed this one out, just to capitalize on the hype. This guide has more blunders than it has actual tips to the point where you are more likely to succeed playing blind like any other playthrough while possibly looking at some pointers on forums.
@@subzerosanijsYeah that's exactly why I felt the need to point it out. Even in the later stuff, there's a lot of sloppy or plain incorrect information, like not explaining the effects of both the War of the Roses and the Ireland missions correctly.
Please please! Do the other guide! I’m struggling so badly. 😢
If you do manage to ally burgundy it's really good as you can call them in with the promise of land immediately
Oldenberg getting the Burgundy PU is crazy, if you get the reduced cost for transferring vassals you could easily nab Burgundy as a VASSAL.
Defiantly would enjoy a Great Britain Guide!!!
Already done that, was just interested in how he'd do it :) Been experimenting with different ideas etc to start with but was pretty successful stopping everyone else form colonising etc@BobbiusRossius
I tried to let the rebels win during the war with france, but they were not able to take power until I was at peace. So I lost the union with the new king.
You should’nt use console commands in a walkthroug.
I went bankrupt waiting for the Roses Empires trying to enforce their demands.
its much easier to not delete your forts, wait for roses to trigger before enforcing piece, then when you chose between yorks and lancaters get the french throne and instantly relocate your troops to the island and deal with rebels. it took about 13 loans for me, but it is basically 5-10 years of countryboosting worth of trouble. sets you back a little, but come on its a single player you will get bored after forming this purple greatness anyway, so why rush?
Similar issues. Rebels won't enforce before bankruptcy, but going back to the mainland makes it fairly difficult to deal with the war in parallel. Guide needs a refresh.
Alternatively you can sell maine to provance, do the mission and curry favours with your allies.
When You are ready, use union CB from the mission and then defeat France. Less tryhatd option in my opinion.
Note that Provence is a really good subject - if you can get them to 100 dev or owning Corsica, they get cores on all of 1444 Naples.
Tips : You can actually dev up or feed Provence more provinces so that they can gain core on all of Naples from their mission tree
the last 3 videos you have made, i always see as im literally playing that nation xD monka
You know you can just get both the English and Angevin missions: simply don't activate the mission where you have to choose until you can complete all English missions while the event to choose Angevin missions is open.
That won't work, because most British missions follow after the hundred years war mission. Missions that don't follow are the same for both mission trees.
@@НилИванов-ж1ц As long as the popup that allows you to choose angevin missions is open, you can follow the english mission tree beyond the 100 year war mission.
Great Britain guide!! I think it’d be really interesting if you managed a GB with the French PU haha
I've been struggling to do a Poland run in 1.36 for a while, and some of the missions changed from your 1.34 guide (specifically, one of them is a permanent claim on all of Bohemia rather than a subjugation, I haven't gotten super far.) Is Poland a popular enough nation for an updated guide? Thank you!
was occupying France 99% and waiting for pretender rebels to enforce when i saw they were stuck at 95% saying something like "they can't break the country if we're at war" :( what am i doing wrong?
A great Britian Guide would be pretty dope
Provence gets cores on Naples with Corsica or enough dev, which is useful if Castile/Spain took that PU.
Also, Italy as a PU makes conquering the Pope possible as a Catholic, but that would happen anyway if he joined the HRE and you revoked.
just a note the AI not considering subjects of subjects when declaring war has been an issue for a bit, at least since 1.35. it kept happening in my last Angevin game (ironically enough). from my pov, its common enough to take advantage of in a 1.36 guide.
With Irelane you should release them as PU and get the free inheritance later. There's some pretty good permanent modifiers ifbyou do like diplo rep and diplo relations. Plus Ireland will just sit and dev their province so they're all like 30-40 by the time you get the free inhertance
18:02 It seems like you also deleted some of your boats without mentioning it?
Can we get a Korea guide? Thanks for the videos Red Hawk! Your videos are the only way I can play this game lol
I have restarted like 10 times and I cannot get the 5% crownland parliament debate. Any ideas ?
great Britain guide would be awesome
@30:50 You forgot that you purchased Orkney!
Alright, alright, here we are as someone smashing the like button
LOL 1448 event didn't pop up yet, i guess ill wait and see when it will.
Managed to get Burgundy. Started a quick war against them, force them out of rivalry, then used every single possible decision and influence on them, giving them money etc, and they finally liked me.
If Burgundy delare on a French subject like shown, you should peacethem out by ending their rivalry with you in order to improge your chances of getting the inheritance.
If you're a newer player you'll probably need to just promise castille/aragon/burgandy some land, you probably won't be able to beat the French without their help.
It would make sense to break Burgundy’s rivalry with you if you’re looking to RM them for BI. I feel that would have been worth mentioning as a novice may not consider it in a peace deal.
Great Britain guide !!
Hello! I am a bit new to your channel and love the videos but I saw something that I dont think you ever mentioned. But what mods do you use for your visuals/bigger peace screen? Thanks! Cant wait for more uploads!
Thanks for this guide I'm new to eu4 but not eu so thought I'd try something nice and easy to learn! ;) But while this guide is great it leaves out all the skilled bits, like how to actually avoid the starting French death stacks. I know I need to, I know I need to siege down the forts etc, and then avoid fighting the French. I know I can stack up to put them off, but does that mean I always keep them together or I need to lift fog of war. Surrender of Maine fired quite early for me, I only have 2 favours with my allies so I need to survive for quire awhile with out them, Scotland has stayed out of it though, allied to Brittany instead of France.
So do you have a guide on fighting wars as the underdog anywhere or know of a good one? I love your videos!
I just got the perfect start, and Castille declared on Aragon for the Navarra throne, they destroyed my game for a 3 dev province in the spanish mountains
Yes great Britain guide
one of the empires of all time
why not selling maine to provence to declare on france when you are ready?
Roleplay. You're playing a strong nation already. Why cheese it? So you can quit slightly faster from boredom? lol
Im still restarting the game for those 5% of crownlands
I got it after a lot of resets
You don't really need to restart. They tick over and offer a new mix of debates every month. Just delay taking the crownland and choosing a debate until it appears. Sure you might lose a few months of MANA but as long as it pops within the first say 6 months it's not a big deal
I would love a colonial Great Britain guide
The best bet with Burgandy if they start off rivaled to you is to not rival them back go to war with them as early as possible remove yourself as a rival in the peace deal, improve relations and then pray to RNG gods.
Did the conditions change? Last time i formed Angevin Kingdom i had to form it before France annexed their subjects. I think it was like 25 cities, not 40. Also btw Burgundy declearing war on a French subject is pretty common (it happened to me every time i play as England)
That changed months ago, in a patch to Domination.
Allies don't join the war on france and I keep getting my ass kicked
