EU4 1.36: Burgundy One Faith World Conquest in 3 Easy Steps 

Nice job man, when you attack naples make sure the war target is Napoli because the target is half cost in peace deal; it’s possible annex naples in 1 war :)

18:35 The reason you get money is because IRL when the reformation happened, the rulers who became heretics seized all the properties and ownings of the clergy inside their lands.

Super enjoyable video. It had a comfy vibe like listening to a Burgundian man in a French cafe ramble on about how tag switching will conquer the world

I haven't played EU4 in about 4-5 years and just came back, and came across your videos as I looked into some refreshers on how to play the game. I'm so glad you're part of this community as your videos are super insightful and well commentated. Bless you, Alex! I pray you're well and I can't wait for more videos.

Your channel is incredibly underrated man. So chill yet so skilled, and play through that are not difficult to replicate.

Dali would be an interesting WC, partly because it has one of the most broken exploits in eu4 at the moment, allowing it to get all of china and 150k ducats in the bank within 15 years of game start The exploit works by abusing the unguarded nomadic frontier disaster, its one of the only ways in game to switch to a released tag, what you pretty much do is trigger the disaster by selling provinces to oirat (accept mongol rebels demands as well) so they get 300 dev so that the disaster triggers, then you let rebels occupy 10 provinces in the xinan region, that will then trigger an event allowing you to switch over to dali, but if you hold the event as ming, you can make them your tributary and then take max loans and start feeding them your land slowly, but how do we get the 150k ducats you may ask? if you give 1-2 provinces at a time to dali, then recruit an infantry unit and then cancel the recruitment, your loan cap gets updated allowing you take more and more money, you get at least 100k at least with this, more if you stack some interest per annum stuff with esates and or revanchism stuff Then after you've done all this, you can do whatever you want, you have a great mission tree giving you -10% all power costs, and your in a prime position to become horde qing given you start as buddhist, just form tibet, pop the steppe politics mission(hold the event), take the mandate, form qing, then click the mission to become a horde, congrats your now probably the most broken nation in the game, even more than mughals

This content is so good PLEASE DONT STOP I WATCH ALL OF THEM, would be cool to see an Avengin run! I love your content!

An impressive job as always Alex! You continue to impress every new video! I like that the whole world conquest and one faith was in one simple video and all of the tag switch shenanigans was lovely to see! Keep up the great work can’t wait to see what you cook up next!

Average Genevan shopping in France, great channel!

J'adore tes vidéos! I would like to do more world conquest runs, but my computer lags like crazy past 1700 so I rarely bother, so it's nice to experience the joys of world domination vicariously. You have an incredibly relaxing presence and the fact that you edit in all of your captions is extremely impressive.

LOVE your videos. Favorite paradox youtuber by far

Fantastic video as always! You're campaigns are always so well recorded and I love the way you approach the game in a laid back way.Has definitely inspired me to try a WC on my own. Would love to see a great Britain run, could be for whatever goal you find fun!

I just love this channel. Every new video is a gift.

After finishing Fallout series, time to relax with some great EU4 content! Currently during my Mughals WC, so I need some inspiration!

Love these videos so much. Great work.

Great video as always!

Hon hon hon! This will be fun! The reason I play Oldenburg so often is .. yes, you guessed it. Cheers man and thank you for the content! :)

this man is a menace. great video as always

Glad the algorithm led me here, this is a very fun video, especially the mad tag switching.

Great video from the Suisse voisine... As a side note, if you manage to get a PU as Burgundy outside of the France region (I got a lucky Bohemia PU once, due to their Hussite events that mess up their dynasty), you only keep it if you go for the Marie option in the inheritance. Otherwise, the personal union will be given to France similarly to how Castile PUs Navarra and sometimes Naples alongside Aragon in the Iberian wedding

so interesting, thank you for sharing this content !!

For the PU with Castile you would not keep the Union, instead the country who gets the Inheritance would get that Union. Ex: If France gets you in the inheritance they will get Castile too

Your channel is amazing, great production and content! Would you do a Portugal WC and staying as that tag, curious how you would go about doing this :)

This is so far beyond my abilities....very impressed.

12:47, you don't. You made the right call. There is a common strategy where you immediately PU Bohemia as burgundy, and I did that, and then lost it during the inheritance because I dismantled the HRE (you integrate subjects with capitals in the France or low countries region, and in the HRE)

sipping on cava on a sunday watching this vid

Thank you for an enjoyable start on my 42nd birthday.

love the video

damn another banger of a video great french pronunciation btw, kinda of a Disco Elysium vibe to it

The video would have been drastically different if this was Hoi4

Similar to English Monarchy trick---If you ever play in the east, you can get rid of the Celestial Empire by forming Japan while Catholic and taking Land of the Christian Sun.

I don't seen before so crazy tag switching.

When the Burgundian Inheritance fires, you inherit all your subjects within the French region and within the Holy Roman Empire. So if you can manage to revoke the privilegia before that, which should be possible by vassalizing three electors and then excessively religion-switching between Catholic and Orthodox (would require a No-CB war on Byzantium early on to get those orthodox provinces you need) and constant leaving and rejoining the Empire, then you could be even more of a blob after the inheritance. Also, if you can time Charles' death while you are in a war with France with enough warscore to vassalize France, you can wait for the Inheritance to fire, and before you click on the French option, peace out France with the vassalization option. That way, when you then decide to become France's subject, you will immediately integrate Fracne along with your other subjects and thus save yourself the unnecessary independence war (and the risk of a game over by France simply clicking the "Duchess of Burgundy" Mission in their mission tree.

nice video!

Awesome video I don't think i would be able to do the world conquest myself but i think I will try this strategy to atleast get burgundian achivements

wow that was impressive how easy you made it look

12:37 For the way the event works, I think you could've inherit all of Castille if you would've chosen France during the Inheritance event, although I'm not sure. Edit: Forget it, I already tested it and France keeps the PU over Castille.

Wow you spoke French dude, and not bad at all. You also fixed the sound mix GJ.

Nice job

Lets go burgundy 🎉

Nice vid :)

Hello Alex, great video once again. Are you considering any Ternate or Tidor world conquest run?

Best Intro, i agree :')

I am amazed

Wow that was an insane run. Tag switching isnt something ive gotten into yet.

Ah you live in France? My condolences my friend. To the you've got access to an escape hatch though 😉

I wish this video was longer...

Hey at 7:04 you went back in time from 27th September 1450 to 13th September 1450 and England mysteriously got their provinces in Normandy back. Did you reload a previous save where England and France peaced out differently? It looks really weird how within the same war France got almost all of their Normandy cores back while a couple of minutes later England holds the lands again.

I just had a run with Bohemia -> Croatia -> Prussia -> Great Moravia -> Germany and I found something interesting. I kept my mission tree forming croatia and the croatian one got added to it. I happened again when forming Prussia. It got a little bit weird forming Germany, some missions were still visible. Also I could revoke the prussian government 1 reform without switching religion or anything. I kept the Moravian Ideas (+15 max Effect of Absolutism) and thought you might be interested in that. Don't know how the mission tree "evolves" when forming Sardinia-Piedmont or other countries.

16:45 is it possible to give in to the pretender rebels to opt out of the being france's junior partner? Or will it take too long as they ned to siege someting first? Or will france actually fight them and win? Or is figting an independance war actually straight up better? edit1 though yeah if you want to just kill france in the process might as well

18:25 the money is from dissolving the monetaries, it’s even more for Protestants because the state was more aggressive in confiscating papal lands to add to the new national church.

I would love to see an one culture video..❤

Could you recommend some countries that are good for a one faith, one culture run? I've only done a standard austria wc before, and I want to try one culture, but don't know which nations are best for that. Is tag switching even a valid option or rather just sticking to a starting country or formables which don't require you to change your primary culture the way to go? Sorry that this comment isn't really related to the video, but you seem far more experienced than I am, and I thought I'd ask.😅 Love your videos.

Wanted to do a similar strategy, but I'll probably fail. Being slightly perfectionist, I decided to conquer more land to do more tag switches (from England, Prussia, Spain, Sardinia, Two sicilies add Austria, Croatia, Tuscany, Netherlands, Scotand, Poland, Switzerland, Ireland, hansa at least). In order to achieve this, the mana would not be an issue as the mission trees give way enough. However I really wanted to get more land to be able to click more missions, which bring me to ~1750 with all of Europe Burgundian. Fairly certain I can rush and finish WC but will fail with the One faith and one culture I planned. All of it was delayed as I didn't have access to the OP modifiers of the tag switches for about 30 years. Also I forgot to delete spain early and it escaped as a few islands, might go as France or Scandinavia instead. Nevetheless a fun run, thanks for the idea!

The Low Countries are not a part of the France region, so every subject gets fully annexed.

Great video ! Is there any chance you still have the save file ? I would like to see the timelapse (specially how did you conquer the world !) Thanks !

Man I don't think Burgundy would have been protestant, quite the opposite in fact, they were heavy defenders of the catholic faith

I asked you like some long time ago, would you do a price of egypt run ?

What happened on 07:04? France used to own northern english provinces with Maine and in the next clip they are back english?

great tag switch method

23:30 most historically acurate feature of this game

Finishing up my first ever world conquest now as the Ottomans after over 1600 hours of playtime 1774 now with about 4k dev left to conquer, not gonna lie the 15-20 hours I've spent since 1700 might be the most unenjoyable time I've ever had in this game 😂 edit: just finished it in 1796 😁

My first WC was with Castile start and tag switch for admin efficiency and war cost reduce, like this but i stay Catholic, is easier than classic Mughals, Oirats or Ottomans.

13:29 Doesn`t the hunting accident require the male heir?

you will not get castile if you get them before the burgundian inheritance, as the event only makes you inherit all subjects that are in the hre, has a french culture group, capital is in the french region, or is dutch or flemish, meaning that france will get the personal union

I played as Reformed only once and that was as Holland/Netherlands. It was ok, had its uses as Netherlands but in most other scenarios Protestant is superior

Looooove me some Huguenot reformed

its also one of my favorite countries. i think the avignion situation is based on provance's relationship with the Pope, not yours so you are locked out. i didnt realize you have a full year for independence war, from my memory france almost immediately releases them in the most enraging moment of any campaign so i truy to DOW the day of the inheritance. the money i think is to reflect that Protestants seized crown church lands, which were usually, rich in their lands. I think in EU(2?) it would be more explicit why you get all that money with an event 'seize church lands'

where did you get the thumbnail from ?

what happens if you vassalize France and then burgundy inheritance drops and you choose France?

I thought France could just click a button to inherit Burgundy instantly if you chose them. Is there a reason they didn't? Like a requirement that they can't fulfill?

Tags changing... i understood nothing :) but good video

28:20 wouldn't it be a good thing? Always loyal PU with no diplo slot that gives you permanent bonuses.

Can we get an Ireland OPM run?!

So the first step is actually start play as france , then do a royal marriage with burgundy , do your conquest shit with espionage idea , and w8 for burgundy inheritance. When inheritance drop , and you have burgundy as subject , go crazy and conquest even more, like blinded berserk , but make sure you didn`t give land to burgundy , or making vassals (if you give burgundy too much , you never have funny horsy event) .never stop. But when funny horsy event that annex burgundy drops , make sure u didn`t press that funny mission as france , that annex burgundy , if they are your subject. Then RELEASE burgundy , and give them all land you have except your capital (move your capital to 1 1 1 province if you can, before that) , and then annex burgundy with funny mission button again. AND THEN RELEASE THE CRAKEN AND PLAY AS SUBJECT OF PURE AND INNOCENT COUNTRY , WHO TAKE OVER ALL LAND THAT FRANCE CONQUER WITH 0 AE. Step whatever didn`t count lol -> enjoy being a great strategist world ever seen (Napoleon would disagree but who cares about that funny cake lol)

Disgusting hahahaha, thank you for sharing. Edited: No shaving in this comment xD

0:43 Ugh, pass. Calvinists, nothing but trouble.

Why does France lose their Territory back to England? 😅

"I'm improving relations with a lot of minors around me." Um, sir??? 🤨🤨

You can prevent countries to support independance by having a truce

астрия вил южали алай ас авыхъзавыъхз норм сказанул

I think other nations can’t support independence of your subjects if your at war, so just always be at war

No you lose the PU

Fuck, only 30 min😢

What's with the subtitles? You're perfectly intelligible and I doubt that you have an extraordinary share of deaf viewers.

Господи, какой ужас!

B4 you choose Angelvine path you can plick on gbr missions, because its a normal england path, it give a few mana and dev cost
