【EU4】The STRONGEST Brandenburg Opener I've Ever Had 

for 2k likes I'll make a part 2 because Prussia is cool edit: EVERY SIXTH PERSON LIKED THIS VIDEO??? you guys are crazy wtf okay here's part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oI_-sy4Vleo.html oh yeah subscribe I guess. I'm supposed to say that at the start apparently

Talking about the Holy Roman Emperor as the HR emperor sounds so much worse

I actually had no idea that the rate of aggressive expansion decay was related to improve relations modifier. Thank you for the information!

"I will get to it" me when I tell myself I will finnish the EU4 mod I have been working off and on for a year

Eu4bit gameqarb back at it again, cheers mate

9:45 over 1k hours never knew this existed I also wish i knew this before 14:24

SHE QUAR ON MY BITS CALL THAT GAMING

12:10 they changed it, enperor can form Germany but doing so dismantles the empire

You're not crazy, Espionage is an entirely valid early group for Prussia. The way I see it for Prussia is Offensive/Espionage is your go-to if you want to fly through forts and expand more rapidly, Quality/Innovative if you're setting up for mid-late game space marine memes, and something/Diplomatic/Administrative if your priority is 'smoother' expansion.

I was just thinking that I would have restarted and then you spoke my mind lol 😂 good job keep it up bro

Doing a Lubeck run myself 😊 Happy gaming Mr. Quarbit! 😁

Brandonberg-Prussia has a special place in my heart. Awesome vid Quarbit

Bro didn't know they updated brandenburg/prussia in domination even though it was a side selling point of the dlc, brruuuhhh...

Poland, steals Neumark. Brandenburg: "wanna be my fwiendo? OwO" Poland: you're a bit special kiddo Historical reenactment of what happened in this game.

btw the bohemian rebles did not turn into Zelots because they where at 40% if you spent mil mana to lower the progress to below 30% they would have changed over

This is really cool actually. Also your German pronunciations are on point! Beeindruckend :D

“Sweden getting Burgundy is so cursed” That’s happened to me in 3 different games. The worst was a Savoy game where I was already rivaled to Sweden…

25:15 "Henceforth, promoting a culture will reduce our AE by 3" This does sound quite gamebreaking, tbh. Also full annexing a nation gives you their vassals, vassalizing does not do that. PUs are released either way.

standart player: "Omg im doing pretty good as brandersburg" me who plays too much as brandenburg: "Omg, not even has prussia and latvia in 1500? Neds a reset"

I do my estates exactly the same except I don't take the +1 extra dip point and take religious culture from clergy instead leaving me with 10% crownland so I don't lose autonomy when I'm at peace.

10:33 wait what. Playing as the aztecs i had a normandy as a "sunset colony" and i could core thorugh them paris and a province next to them. They werent costal either. My capital was in the new world so idk how that happend.

Setting your attitude towards a nation to friendly on top of getting +50 opinion makes them leave a coalition faster

The Handsome Knightly Royal Prussian VTuber

32:20 "I don´t think I´ll win that" King be like: "Fine I´ll do it myself"

Gotland into hasa into Prussia for 10% more discipline

27:16 you need to have rebbel progress under 30% to change them from separatists to zealots, they were at 40% so you can't chenge them. Also isn't Teutons into Prussia better and easier?

8:50 Yo QG ,just in case you didn't know the Bohemians have an elector monarchy by default so they'll often have the dynasty of one of their neighbours. Fun spicy fact about that that may or may not have been patched by now: If you are playing as them and get reelected as the HRE emperor you get 10 IA but if you then choose to elect a different king you get reelected *again* and get another 10 IA, they're arguably the quickest revoke with that aspect.

14th to view

Why avoid dev pushing the Renaissance? A 30-dev city is one of the easier age milestones to get, and its good for the economy to have a huge city (said this to a comment earlier than 13:52)

I don't fuck with estates cause I'm too stupid. : )

You should have released the Teutons as a vassal in Neumark to get Draumburg

if u form the Hanse before Prussia u can get a permanent 5 Dicipline from the Hanse Mission Tree ☝

Part 2 should come you already got. the likes

I’ll give you the like now even though we both know you’re coming back

Glad you're dropping more short-form vods, the streams are a little too long for me

If you full annex (not vassalize) a country you get their vassals and colonies, but personal unions (Like Saxony's union over Thuringia) are liberated.

Btw Separatists only change to religious zealots when the rebel progress is 30% or lower, it's the kind of niche knowledge that's occasionally useful

The rebels will change to religious rebels if the progress is 20% or lower. So next time you harsh treat the rebels to under 20% and voila!

Strongest opening, literally gets the worst opening RNG xD

Poland taking part of Neumark is just straight up mean.

16:45 because it wasn't a vassal, it was a PU. You don't get enemy's PUs if you vassalize an enemy.

I’ve actually never formed Prussia lmao, I always go way too hard as brandenburg and get coalitioned to death

But except for this patch i've had people be not outraged and yet stay in the coalition something appears to be broken

What I find works for estates is keeping loyalty equilibrium above 50% while also having the mana bonuses if possible. Once those are settled I’ll typically focus on any other privileges that I find helpful within the situation I start. Noble Generals comes to mind. It’s pretty standard across my starts barring any mission tree requirements.

Imagine not skipping Prussia straight to Age of Exploration HRE

Espionage is my favourite idea group in eu4 the siege abilty advaiser dicount and corruption reduction

I was listening to this video in the background on my second monitor as noise for a while. It took until I paused the video to realize there was someone in the corner... honestly, jumpscared me. I did not expect an EU4 vtuber.

idk why anyone would play brandenburg to form prussia anymore tbh. there's a country that can do it in a decade now.

2.5/fing do it!

Please as Vijaynagar empire and colonise and conquer the world

16:40 - You did not get Thuringia as a vassal after fully annexing saxony because you only take vassals, colonial nations and tributaries after full annex. Thuringia is under a PU. I find it worthwhile to use the transfer subject ability from espionage or discovery age objective. The upside of using espionage is that you can pick the -10% agressive expansion age bonus first. Anyway, taking a vassal this way costs 50% ae less. Only real downside is the 200 diplo cost. Anyway, I suggest to take thuringia with a transfer subject for a good ae price next run.

Quarbbiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!!!!!

I really like to get the reform progress, tax and trade modifiers from the estates

I think you were thinking of forming Prussia as HRE emp which is basically not possible because of the religion requirement

I would have restarted if that was me

So why exactly did you go hussite?

I really love your content because I usually learn something new. I’d put you close to Arumba as far as understanding game mechanics in such a deep way. 2k hours in and I just learned where to find your chance to get a cardinal

With Brandenburg I always pay back two of the loans to loans from the Burghurs so I get the Sale of Neumark event. You need fewer than 4 loans for it to fire.

No ansbach challenge? Baaad...

paying for neumark is free claims..
