The HRE Path NOBODY Does in EU4! 

I hope you enjoyed the episode! Sorry for the week delay but I'm moving and didn't have time to translate the episode from Polish to English.

Small note: many monthly income missions can be accomplished by taking that amound of gold in a peace deal. It counds for 1 month as your monthly income ;)

Explaining the Nikopolis mission: during the late 14th century the pope called a crusade against the Ottomans, spearheaded by Emperor Sigismund. Sigismund’s Luxembourg dynasty ruled the HRE, and directly ruled Bohemia. Consequently the bohemian contingent of the Crusader army was fairly large, and it was decimated at the battle of Nicopolis, where the sultan Bayezif destroyed the Crusader army. Bayezid personally ordered the execution of many high ranking prisoners, with a few bohemians dying as well. It was a massive embarrassment for all of Christian Europe.

Such enthusiastic "4". Must be a banger episode

waaaaaa, the background music is so "flashbacking" firstly fight with nosk from hollow knight and then from a magicka

I just no-cb the emperor for the event, for me it wasn't even a one province minor, it was Wurzburg and he had a few provinces, but having over 50% warscore he was scared shitless and voted for me. That acvievment was so fun btw.

Really wish there was a way to trigger the League War's early when you do Hussite Bohemia, like Protestant Sweden does. So much waiting around and depending on the AI when you do this achievement (especially since the fewer Catholics there are the slower Reform Desire grows so later Reformation). It's obvious if you were actually doing a Hussite run (other than the achievement) the best course of action would be dismantling the HRE in your first war against Austria, and then Deus Volt everybody.

Finally, HRE finally accepted the one and only true faith. Don't forget to get Rome as well and defenestrate the heretic pope :D

the first Hussite belief being the 'war score against heathens' is better IMO in these early wars since you get to take more stuff relative to manpower since you are so rich with the Czech and Slovak gold you can just run pure merc armies.

As the Ottomans foolishly went to war with Bohemian common wealth they sieged the Lithuanian fort thinking they had the upper hand only then did they realize they heard the trembling sound of wagons surrounding their army. There was no escape for them for the wagons were a moving wall.

if you go hussite i highly reccomend quantity to stack manpower modifiers

7:36 That's not how tech cost works. Let's use construction cost as an example. A building costs 100 gold, so every 10% modifier reduces that by 10 gold. You could say that every 10% is worth the same: reducing the cost of buildings by 10 gold. You could say that 10 gold is a bigger fraction of 50 than of 90, so going from -50% to -60% is bigger value than going from -90% to -80%. In this case, I would side with the latter, because the number of buildings you can construct with a given amount of gold does increase more than linearly* with construction cost. 1000 gold will build 20 buildings at -50%, but 200 buildings at -95%**. The amount of cost reductions less than doubled, but the number of buildings is 10 times as big. This point can be debated though, and has been debated at me by a economy master student-friend. This analysis also applies to province warscore cost modifiers. The problem comes with modifiers that don't allow you to hit increasingly more interactions like construction cost. Exhibit A: tech cost. A technology costs 600 mana, always. Every 10% of tech cost reduction will save you 60 mana. Always. Having 10% tech cost in your national ideas therefore doesn't make taking inno ideas to "stack" those cost reductions any more efficient than taking inno without having 10% tech cost in your NI's. But it's not like, if you have -50% tech cost, you can take twice as many technologies; the nature of the ahead of time penalty prevents that. So all you're left with is 60 mana saved per 10% modifier per technology. That doesn't get more efficient the more 10% modifiers you have. *Little pet peeve; but whenever the rate of increase increases, people shout "exponentially". This is wrong. A quadratic relation has the rate of increase also increase, but it doesn't show exponential growth. In this case, the amount of buildings you can construct doesn't increase exponentially either. **This might surpass the construction cost cap. I can't find the reduction cap on the wiki, so idk where it is. Often it's at either -90%, -95%, or "minimum of x ducat".

19:49 Why is Slovak green?

Bohemia "Peaceful" world conquer when 😢.

that’s literally my current run lol wdym nobody 😔

Couldn't you just accept the Dutch culture? It's way less lame than moving your capital. You can already change your trade capital separately

Hey what it your voice slowing down all time about? It is really annoying I think.
