EU4 1.36 Dithmarchen One Faith World Conquest - Opening Moves 

Haha you made my day :) Glad to be back!

Thanks for your patience with me. Been a little rough but I'm back playing and making videos, hope I can continue! I love the interactions and feedback here, it's a really good feeling.

I love the jazzy soundtrack, the old paper texture back and your commentary, plus you are really good at the game. Keep it up!

@@Old_Harry7 thanks, I appreciate that!

Whoa, thanks, this makes my morning! :)

Thanks, I'm glad to be back too.

The Kaiser is back and ready to conquer once again! And again...

@@StrategySphere I think that I speak for everyone Alex that you have been sorely missed and we are all glad to see you back and ready to conquer the world!

This means a ton to me :)

Thanks, yep - doing well! Just a bit busy...

Thanks, yep - stabilizing at work a little, so decided to return to EU4. Exciting times.

Thanks, I missed EU4 and the community here big time.

Haha thanks a lot! I appreciate :)

Merci :)

how do you do it so early? I struggle doing it as France at 1450

@@samotter9509 honestly, it’s like learning how to ride a bike. You write down or remember which electors are rivaled and improve relations with the ones that don’t want to ally you because of said rivalries. Then you insult their rivals and do the usual (gifts, improve relations, giving mil access, religious diplomats, etc). Then, once it’s all set, you can save the game (or copy the ironman save) and try to, in the space of one month, un-ally the ones who are rivaled to others and wouldn’t ally you before and then re-ally the previous ones. Usually works like a charm, provided the ones you un-allied for a month still have at least 75+ opinion of you. And then, well, you attack a neighboring free city with weak allies, siege down Vienna and you’re done. Now!!! It’s much easier if Austria is also allied to one or two electors, cause then you can do it faster without all the diplomatic shenanigans. And of course, you hope for Bohemia to join the war on your side (rivals Austria very often) and you absolutely need one or two additional powerful guys in this war. And of course it’s super-annoying to peace out all of Austria’s allies in this war, but at least you get war reparations to help you fix your economy later. There you go, I hope it was clear enough😄

It's a great point -- I thought about it, but got entangled in my Austria alliance till there wasn't much of HRE left. So I just went for the League Wars...

@@StrategySphere fair enough. Was just wondering because I’m used to seeing you min-maxing))) Happy you’re back

@@nikolaitregouet thanks, and yep - I wasn’t very efficient in this case :)

Oh nice! I’ve never been there, but I’ve read a lot of history and just general info about the area, it does look great.

Yay! Thank you!

Thanks much, and more to come!

Haha many thanks 🙏

Thanks a ton! Appreciate it :)

Thanks a ton :)

Thanks so much, Jens!

Thank you, this means a lot.

@@StrategySphere you deserve every bit of love you are getting in your videos. There is something about your Gameplay and way of talking that is just compelling to watch. Congratulations on those 5k views after so many months out, that's quite a milestone!!

Haha thanks 🙏

It’s never late for a comment like this, much appreciated! :)

Thanks much :)

Thanks so much :)

Thanks a lot, Nathan!

Thanks a ton! :)

Thank you :)

Thanks a lot, and will do! The game is complete, got to edit the video now.

Thanks, and I know -- I've betrayed the ideals of peasantry... but for a good cause!

Thanks so much!

Haha thanks. Lots of great EU4 RU-vidrs these days, I love how our community is developing!

Thanks much! :)

Thanks for your patience with me :)

Thanks so much for your support :)

Yep, usually the guides for it are short. That's why I decided to go for a complete One Faith madness :)

Thanks :) glad to be back!!!

Thanks, this means a lot to me!

Thanks, I missed being away too. Prepping a few videos to post.

Thanks, this means a lot!

Thanks a lot! In its way :)

Thank you 🙏

Merci ! 🙏

Yep, it’s a nice synergy. It works even better for Saluzzo!

@@StrategySphere Hmmm, after watching the Student video on how support rebels is actually super powerful, I wonder how high one can stack rebel support efficiency...

I've just watched that video, too. He finds really interesting approaches. Might be interesting to try in one of the future games.

Thanks for that, means a lot :)

Thanks :)

Thanks much! I appreciate it :)

I agree! It's one of my favorites, genuinely.

Hi! Got unemployed, was job seeking, working on projects… busy! :)

@@StrategySphere nice hope you good luck on finding job and your project legend🙏

Thank you 🙏

...And ready to roll!!

Ahh, this is a great point. It probably deserves its own campaign. I wanted to PU England asap, and for that I had to become a monarchy before forming Hannover.

Yep, glad to be here! :)

And more to come! :)

Thanks :)

... and kicking!

Thank you 🙏

Glad you found it! :)

⁠@@StrategySpherewouldn’t go without ❤

Thanks! Working on the next one :)

Here to conquer! :)

👍🍾

YAY! The happiest comment award goes to you! :D

Yep, one of my favorites too, along with Saluzzo.

Merci !

😅👍

Thanks -- been a bit busy! But have recorded a few videos, editing them all now for posting.

Thanks, coming soon!

It's good to be back! Thanks for sticking around!

Thanks for the sub! I’ve never played Wallachia, but I guess the key would be getting some strong alliances to beat the Ottomans asap, and then expand into Mamluks/North Africa to build strong trade in Constantinople. From there you should be able to push into Europe, maybe starting with Spain/Portugal and going North. Just an idea, every game would play differently of course!

Glad it worked! :)

@@StrategySphere i demand more. also i enjoyed your editing

Thanks, and yep - more on its way!

😂 one of my favorites!

Perfect, thank you - part 2 coming soon!

Yep, I agree. There’s always some sort of “nobility” (leading power) in a state, whoever these people are in each case - peasants, oligarchs, and so on.

Haha thanks, on its way!

Haha maybe, one day...

Yep, it’s quite nice!

Whoa, this sounds really powerful for 1607! If it were me, I’d start pushing into the good trade company lands like the Ottomans, India and Africa to become really rich. In parallel, I’d complete the HRE things (changing religions) as it’ll make you really strong fast, and doesn’t require a lot of troops. The non-mission PUs require a bit of luck, but if you get the Commonwealth PU… you’ll really be unstoppable. After you get your PUs, an idea could be to become a Theocracy as I believe they get 2 missionaries from the government reforms.

@@StrategySphere Thanks, that helpfull advices. I saw on yours campaings that you often change tag. And i wonder is it better strategy to play normaly and later become a HRE or change tag to Germany and later to Roman Empire just to get more Admin efficency. I'm afraid that changing tags will slow me down too much.

@@michalcie222 yep, I do like changing tags for efficiency, but as Castile to Spain you may not have to do it. Your country is super powerful as is, I believe. You also get 5% admin efficiency from the Councils government reform.

Hi! It’s “theatrum orbis terrarum” from the Steam Workshop.

Have no clue. It’s possible I’ve skipped some time ahead in my editing. Edit: I looked at the sequence, and the alliance was showing as possible from the diplomacy menu. Why the bar was like that, no idea!

Could have been a great idea! But I’ve just completed the One Faith. Maybe next time!

👍🍾
