This was me after getting to 1650 and finding out I couldn't form Prussia as Dithmarschen because I stayed Catholic. Austria was too big and didn't want to lose their relationship. 😢
I kinda got a bit confused with what you said, but if ya mean that it's lame, indeed because they picked the Angevin flag as England. Basically swapping the two flags.
@@CooltasticOG Yeah. I mean, i kinda understand why they did it. It's cool that the flag of your new nation is a combination of two old flags, but it's still lame to just take the old english flag
@@MestreSabeTudo1 I remember Laith putting it up that it makes it "historically inaccurate" and after searching, it did bugged me. Though a texture mod that swaps the two flags to their correct TAGs would be a simple fix, but still it's somewhat, OCD or perfectionist triggering in a sense.
Having to restart an entire campaign because of that one thing you did that had game (or in this achievement) breaking consequences perfectly sums up ironman mode in EU4
I must say that my first run after 1.35 was Angevin and it was really enjoyable. Ideas are perfect for WC, missions are really good. I really recommend.
my first Angevin run was really enjoyable, I managed to steal the hre emperorship then proceed to get religious peace and convert the hre to anglican haha!
@@thewaffleiron9010 sadly not, all i did was accept Anglican in the church of england event as it auto converts your capital which made me lose emperorship. I then regained emperorship by converting back to catholic instantly (bohemia was useful as interim emperor as he had higher IA gain) and passed reforms (i killed the reformation before any serious damage could happen) till I made everyone vassal then forced Anglican rebels to convert half my country (French region). i then proceeded to force religion on every hre subject and my pu subjects.
@@thewaffleiron9010 there is indeed an event to do flip the HRE to Anglican now. I'm not 100% certain but I think the Protestants have to win the League War and 30% of the HRE provinces need to be Anglican for the event to fire. I've seen it happen on Florryworry's stream, if you check the dev diaries I'm sure you will find the exact requirements.
seeing this videos of yours lately and seeing how you go on conquering everything so fast and it really got me wondering how you do it? how do you mange the coalitions? how do you mange the manpower? how do you mange the admin cost of coring?
@TheJaydawarlord I appreciate the response, but it's just that I'm amazed at your gamplay. I have about 500-600h on the game (I know that its not a lot) but a lot of times after a war I'll need to let my nation rest and recup wile dealing with the coalition diplomatically.
There are some tricks with coalitions. The first is to never get them. Certain modifiers like being a neighbouring province/same religious group/same region/being HRE province e.t.c. massively increase AE for those with those modifiers. So you can balance out your AE by only targeting certain regions/religious groups at a time, e.g. as Ottomans you can balance your AE between the Catholic, Orthodox, Sunni, Shiite and Hindu religious groups, waiting for one group to lose AE whilst you focus on another region/religious group. You can also stack the increase relations modifier, which massively helps reduce AE every year. The second is that even if you do have them, states which have a truce with you cannot join your coalition. So in singleplayer it's very much easy to "juggle" truces by constantly declaring war on people, getting a high war-score peace deal to get a long truce, and make it so that even with incredibly high AE no one can actually join your coalition. Manpower and coring is just a case of stacking modifiers and developing. But in this run it's helped by the fact that you can produce these personal unions and just let the PUs core everything for you. Note for example in the war against Burgundy he returned some cores to France and kept the rest, so he's not having to pay full admin for all the provinces
@@goldrumble5736 i have +3000 hours (i hate this game so much bros, unironicallly, but i can't stop now) and i still learn multiple new mechanics every run My advice for the gang wars problem: -a strong ally or two you have for whole game, save for eating later (France, Otto, etc) -the genocide tactic. Focusing on elimating groups of land not necessarily by country/tag alone, but by their culture group and/or religion -truce juggling -if you know a group is going to form after trucebreaks are up, maybe have an army stack by some weak or OPM tags, declare war on them before group gets too big, bring in the some, peace out after quick and easy war. Repeat as needed, this is the 'divide and conquer white peace' method -newer and medium players usually vastly don't put together the importance of *modifiers* and in this case, aggressive expansion decrease and improve relations increase are huge modifiers, it took me over 2k hours to realize a '15% A.E. reduction or a 20% improve relations can change an entire campaign into a world conquest -save 99% of europe for last. You really don't need to conquer Europe till late late game. Build up a global base first. Taking too much land in the HRE is a common downfall for a lot of people -cripple the OPs in the crib. Goes a bit against the last point, but especially if I'm going for a wc, I'll rush limiting the power of tags like ottomans, pre-russia, pre-spain, etc etc. Then I'll chill in those areas, and take over the rest of the world, building up more money and manpower than the rest of the world combined
Getting france and burgundy into one war, how efficient of you. Ottos: What they doin ova ere!? also, amount of permament modifiers angewin gets is disgusting, any other country would have to tag switch 5 times to get this much power creep.
Jianzhou is really easy. You can defeat china consistantly enough that it is even perfectly viable country for MP ( but Oirats of course just stronger nowadays, and if you already have them there is very little reason to have manchu too ).
I just played my first England game with the 1.35 update. I have a few thousand hours into the game (and I’m still not that good at it) and I must say that I’ve never been so lucky. For starters, I was able to remove the tax debuff day one (thank you Ludi) and Burgundy did not rival me. I was able to ally Castile, Burgundy, and Austria before the Maine event. All three came to my aid. I achieved the PU over France and almost immediately Burgundy fell into a PU with me as well. Nearly three months later I inherited the Burgundian Crown. Aragon somehow became a republic and broke away from Castile which, of course, I took advantage of. I secured the Spanish crown along with Scotland and Ireland soon after. Finally, another stroke of luck, a von Habsburg ascended to my throne around the time that Austria was found without an heir. I managed to PU a fully in tact Austria with the Emperorship falling to an OPM Bohemia. Of course I vassalized Bohemia next and became the HRE emperor. I just reached the age of absolutism and even though I am lucky you blew that out of the water with your attempt(s). Very well done! I’m currently struggling with understanding proper army composition as everyone seems to have different opinions. I want to finish this game, but I feel as if I’m losing more battles in spite of having 100 army tradition and being (mostly) ahead of tech. Does anyone have any tips or a good Reddit/video to tap into?
I made as many allies as possible among the electors and declared war so as to call all the rest of the electors and the emperor, occupied their capitals and dissolved the HRE
