EU4 1.35 Teutonic Order Opening Moves Guide: One Faith World Conquest Setup (Part 1) 

Thank you for watching! Have you done a One Faith World Conquest? If yes, do you have any advice for the Part 2 of this run?

Amazing channel! No unneccesary fast paced editing, everything straight forward presented in a very entertaning manner. The video's are always pleasant to watch. Keep it up!

Nice to see you reached your like goal within a couple of hours instead of a week! This speaks for itself :)

Very entertaining, skillfull, and helpful. Thank you for this good content.

Slight addendum to the Livonian Order vassalization thing for people who want to try this themselves: Ideally you want +2 diplo rep when you complete the mission as that gives a 90% chance for the Livonians to accept vassalization. In 1.34 this was a bit of a pain as youd have to take the advisor and then find another diplo rep somewhere, but in 1.35 with the Clergy privilege that gives +1 diplo rep it's very easy. Alternatively if you can't get an advisor for whatever reason +1 diplo rep still gives a 60% chance.

Oh and a tip: the 6 possible options for heirs of monastic orders are based on the date. If none of the 6 is to your liking, you can let a day pass, save, and savescum with 6 new random heirs.

Please keep making videos like this, most country guides on RU-vid are pretty simple and can be figured out in a few play throughs. Your views are very unique and you do things that I wouldn't have thought of even in my 3000+ hours in EU4. I also really like the no CB Byz on December 11th I've always been interested in countries that can pull that off.

These chill runs are so fun to watch. Thanks for the awesome content.

First eu4 youtuber that i subscribe to, continue the good content

Love your videos man!

Great video, fun to watch.

THIS IS THE MOST CURSED BORDER GORE

I am happy to have found your channel.

It was one of the best eu4 videos I've ever watched

I feel like I've discovered one of the eu4 big dogs on content creation in the earliest days. Your subscriber count has doubled since I very recently discovered you. Like if you did a series of these where you did a world conquest from every continent that would be cool. it sorta self-regulates the no cb byzantium opener concern if you do a wc as ibadi kilwa or whatever. I loved this video and I absolutely want to see you go all the way and complete this series If you consistently conplete and upload world conquests with this level of quality and care in the video making process, you will go far

After completing this myself, I agree that the no CV on Byzantium start is a must, mainly because the Ottomans become a big annoying threat that blocks your progress at any opportunity once they start rivalling you, which they will eventually and will do stuff like ally Muscovy (which is absurd, just shows the AI bends over backwards to wall in the player) or they start guaranteeing any AI who refuses to ally them when asked. As for Austria, Hungry and Bohemia wanting your provinces eventually, you never really have to worry about them breaking their alliance with you over territory disputes because by the time they get mad enough to break it, Austria's mission try will force the AI to declare PU wars on Bohemia first then later Hungry and in both situation the AI will contest (The AI is hyper aggressive this patch for some reason), meaning in both situations Bohemia and Hungry will shoot themselves in the foot in the process, you get dragged into these wars but you don't really need to do much as you just sit back and watch Austria and the HRE allies roflstomp both since their own allies won't get called in... because you all share the same allies and the mission tree event will prevent conflicting allies from siding with Hungry or Bohemia and instead side with Austria. Effectively giving you two free allies in the form of Austria's PUs while simultaneously ending Austria's interests in your territories because AI vassals under normal circumstances become incapable of fulfilling missions unless it is forced... by a player and the AI won't force it on their vassals because it is dumb. However, you will not be able to take territory quickly and you'll have to slowly grind through Poland and Lithuania, especially if they are in a PU; What often happens if you do so, they won't form the commonwealth, instead they will constantly have succession civil wars after each conquest due to high independence desire from either party, with no one supporting either, meaning, they end up constantly embroiled in civil war and weak, making them even easier to defeat with each truce expire. With that said, expect unforeseen consequences, such as genoa and mamelukes taking Anatolia and Muscovy bloating super fast, you'll need to be quick on your feet and take the territories required to prevent them forming Russia before they reach tech 10, so make a beeline to do so before 1550 (which is roughly around the time the AI reaches tech 10). They are strong, but Austria is stronger, just worry about sneaky death stacks, so keep your forces clustered to jump on them, Tutons have better troops and mil tech and can beat them if you throw your whole army at their stacks.

that Ottoman stackwipe on the island of Cephalonia was all Hungary's doing. That one lightship blocked the Ottoman retreat haha

just yesterday i finished a teutons into mongol empire run, albeit in the late 1600s. This along with stuff i learned from your video gives me the will i need to embark on an one culture run haha

No cbing Byzantium is annoying because mil access can be a PITA sometimes, but I do it in all my games where I can do it because it makes the Ottos way easier to deal with. Although another strategy I've had success with is buddying up to Hungary and bankrupting the Ottomans in Hungarian defensive wars (since Hungary tends to be decently strong and get allies like Austria, France, or Aragon) - always a hilarious experience. I'm nowhere near skilled enough to actually do one-faith WCs, but I love your content style and presentation - factual, informative, not memey. Keep up the good work!

another great video

Declaring a war without a casus belli should have different penalties, and they should affect your external (reputation, improve relations, liberty desire, etc.) rather than internal politics (stability, war exhaustion). Both for realism and challenging gameplay. Well done regardless, very nicely edited and narrated video.

GOOD video. Thanks for sharing.

So happy I found this channel! You're clearly a great player and do an excellent job explaining your overarching strategy.

this channel rocks

I appreciate the starting moves. It has helped me get off the ground twice. But my rng was particularly bad with austria and poland/lithuania so ive had to restart 2 times. I'll be trying again today so we will see!

Nice vid, concerning the bohemians if you siege down prague or the bohemian captial you get to potentially sack it twice once from a regular captial sack 2nd from an event which gives more than just money.

nice guide, good video

Great! I decided to like the video but after the clip of your dog I directly suscribed. Could you consider in the future to go for a Sunset Invasion?

The thumbnail of the video is interesting. I hit the like button before watching this video.

"holy horde" the Lord has commanded us to turn off the security camera and Beat/Pillage the shit out of thee lol

love the content man, what graphics mod do you use?

Nice video! It's cool to see the different strategy for setting up for a world conquest. In my TO campaign I was going for KHAAAN along with Holy Horder so I was snaking east a lot more. Your country definitely looks much nicer in 1600 lol.

This is golden, the Holy Horder achievement is a thorn on my side because I never manage to go past Poland. Maybe I'm just bad, but this surely helps. Thank you, amazing content!

I didn't realize you had to basically beat the game to get the holy horde... geeze

41:59 This is a one-time event that fires only in 1577 if you have hired a production advisor (Natural Scientist). It's a reference to the very real great comet of 1577.

Awesome Guide! Can you pls do a Guide on Three Mountains

Interestingly, I found this guide after I couldn't get my own Teutons run off of the ground (got locked out because super strong Ottomans). I've been following your guide, and while my own execution may be off, you do have a repeatable strategy that isn't difficult to follow.

Nice to see it split into two parts. One problem I had with the previous video is that you went through the later part of the game a bit too fast in my opinion.

What is the map graphic mod do you use for your games? I used to use imperial graphics but it still hasn't been updated for 1.35, so I've been looking for a new graphic mod. Anyway great video!

Fun video. Wonder if you could get away with opening Espionage, into Admin second, then religious, then trade or something. Would definitely accelerate the expansion a bit. Not that that's necessary I'm sure.

I used your Russia guide and it was a smooth ride, albeit muscovy unlike novgorod has more problems with money it seems until I get trade ideas. I know you recommended taking the non permanent claim option for muscovy but I feel like the perma claims seems to work equally well. Admin wise it wasn't much difference and late game Russia has enough ccr reduction it seems. BTW how do you deal with republic absolutism ( previous novgorod Russia save) the absolutism level fluctuate wildly fuebto election

In a chill game I'd never do it, but if you're setting out for a WC, it's such a good idea to no CB Byzantium.

Amazing channel, very entertaining, thanks! Why do you stay catholic? Wouldnt it be (maybe) better to go for orthodox or hussite (or something else)?

Слушай, я тут заметил, в принципе, учитывая те обороты, что ты используешь в речи, по твоим роликам и английский учить можно. Видео супер, спасибо за творчество 👍🏻

the main reason i play paradox games is because i like seen catholicism win so great video lmao

Will you do one for Teutonic order expending into Germany?

I did this in 1.34 :)

i want to see the korea campain you mentioned in the russia wc!

That's a nice map mod. What's the name of the mod?

Waiting for part 2

how to get the ottomans not joining the war agaist bizantines ? when you fight byzantium .

what is the map graphics mod you are using?

What map mod do you use? I like all the graphics.

for wq no cb byz is necessary you must divide time and ae effectively its like a bug but who cares :D

While no cb is a tired start, when doing any kind of World Conquest, I think doing this and anything else to give you more flexibility and power are totally acceptable. If you're doing an RP run, I can get not liking the opening. Love your videos btw.

do you ever stream?

What visual pack do you use?

which map mod do you use

What did you choose in imperial protection mission?

the order got nerfed since 1.35.6? or is this a mod. because my Teutonic order isn't that big. or is it a dlc if so I'm screwed I got this game for free forever agon on epic and tried to play but the order gets its ass kicked by poland

3:30 gov reforms

600+ like in 7 days

In my holy horde run I changed government for a moment to pick aristocratic for espionage+aristo, but that wasn't wc game. And my horses annihilated full strenghth turks, melting their armies like snow.

"200 likes in a couple of weeks" "gets 3 times that in less then a week"

Bro I need this map mod.. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. I finds eet.

240 likes and still no part 2? I feel betrayed!!

They are over designating you, wile smbd writing the truth of mirroring

I guess you hate every country outside of the Europe with no maps of that region since they can't no CB Byzantium at the beginning of the game 🤣

This is very difficult because the AI is hyper player focused now since the recent update. It will simply focus down your vassals and you while ignoring everything else if it thinks it is stronger with more troops and manpower... even when you have more moral and discipline so you smash their armies; If anything it is annoying because it wastes time which otherwise could be spent sieging, ultimately causing exhaustion and war weariness tick up. Also, sieging absolutely devastates manpower reserves now, the only possible way to conduct unequal wars in the game now is to hire mercenaries to siege things to save your manpower pool. Whoever balanced this game, only seems to care about the niche PvP that only 10% of the playerbase even participates in, absolute dingus. Also Siege RNG is BS now; 28% chance of surrender, stuck at 12 siege for a year, meanwhile the enemy gets 38% and instantly surrender while cycling from 7 to 12 in that time? Yeah BS, game is rigged, so bull. How about make your game fair paradox?

i'm sure you can tell in hindsight but you wouldnt have needed to release novgorod as a vassal had you taken one lithuanian province connecting your mainland to muscovy, noticed it in the first peace deal. ive also noticed you often had high vassal LD at some points and if i can suggest something: your standing army and manpower are directly correlated to their LD. hiring a free company and efficiently using it will make managing rebels and enemy nations in wars much easier, im personally not a fan of the playstyle of having vassals about equal to you in size and dev AND not relying on mercs, especially since you kept getting manpower wiping events but anymore and im gonna start backseat gaming LOL. these are humble suggestions from a fan, i dont know better than you
