EU4 A to Z - The CURSED SECRET WAY To Form JAPAN As Ashikaga 

Download Opera GX for free: mtchm.de/sy9os

Honey, the Red Hawk has posted an A to Z video!

Dripped out Hirohito is something I didn't need to see.

Assam is associated with Shaktism, and Shakti is a deity you can pick, so maybe something around that? Unite the Hindu lands/Burma region under Shakti and try and get the highest siege ability possible? Maybe invade Great Britain as they ended Assam's long history of independence for a bit of payback?

Assam is one of the worlds leading producers of Tea. You should go for a reverse Danish Tea Company achievement and become the worlds leading producer of Denmark (conquer Denmark)

Congratulations on the sponsor. Can't to see this channel grow even bigger.

Ming: *gets blockaded for a few years* Ming: *absolutely falls apart on every level*

1:33 Holy shit 6° on pyongyang, they do be having cold weather in best korea

Okay, so I know it's gonna be like 2 years from now, but I got an idea for a goal when you play Venice (or maybe Genoa or Lubeck): Confirm Thassolocracy, as in, clicking the actual decision, which means you'll need to *finish* Maritime ideas, as well as become the strongest power in every trade node in the Mediterranean (or the Baltic and North seas as Lubeck). And considering that it'll be like 2 years from now, maybe you should write it down somewhere, lol.

"sHoGuN iS bOrInG" Me playing full vassal Swarm as Ashikaga: hahahahahaha vassals go brrrr

1:20 nice location you got there

I'm glad to see you took "Strengthen Noble Privileges" - that is a win in my book

1:19 :'v pyongyang weather looks nice we finally discovered who hawk works for. The Supreme Leader shall be proud of you! xd

The emperor of Japan sat on his throne in silence. As the diplomat finished going over the recent peace deal following his nation's victory over the coalition, he turned his gaze to the mastermind behind the Ashikaga clan's bizarre yet meteoric rise to power; a large hawk, red of feather and strong of mind, which was presently bobbing excitedly from its perch next to the emperor's throne. "It seems another great victory has come to pass," said the emperor, "all thanks to you and your bountiful wisdom." "Yep," said the bird with a smug smile and the emperor sighed inwardly. Even after spending over 120 years in the courts of shoguns and daimyos, the hawk showed little appreciation for proper decorum. "Yes, another triumph," the emperor went on with a slight smile, "even with all the...lavish investment in naval policies." The bird turned a deeper shade of red and looked away. "Some memes are worth it," he muttered. The emperor had no idea what a "meme" was, but he paid it no mind. He and the other courtiers were used to the bird's strange ramblings about "CBs" and "military tech 6". Indeed, little about the hawk or his ideas for running a country could be considered normal. When he showed up in 1444 and convinced then-Ashikaga shogun to renounce his titles and become a normal daimyo, everyone thought they were mad. Yet, like a slow-blooming cherry blossom, the bird's ceaseless advice had allowed the clan to rise far above its previous exalted position. Now Japan was truly united, with extensive holdings in Korea and northern China, including the ancient capital of Beijing. Yes, the hawk was strange. But looking back at its contributions to his nation, the emperor found that such strangeness was easily tolerated. That still wouldn't stop him from occasionally poking fun at the bird. The red hawk smoothed his feathers and looked at the court around him. "Well, I think this is where I leave you all." The emperor nearly choked on his tea. "Leave, old friend?" he asked in barely a whisper. "Yep. I think you got things covered here and I'm feeling pretty happy with this run, so I better bail before I do something dumb like make you go bankrupt or trigger some internal conflicts." "Bankrupt? Internal conflicts?!" "Fourth-degree memery. Also tradition for me at this point. But I like you guys and I like what I've done here, so I won't do that even if it disappoints my viewers." "Viewers?! Noble Red Hawk, you can't leave us! Our nation has flourished under your benevolent guidance! Yes, your mannerisms are strange, but I never meant offence when I poked fun at your policies-" The red hawk held up a wing that silenced him. "Nah, man, I deserved that. I knew Naval and Maritime Ideas were garbage when I had you take them. I never thought we'd have to fight three big hordes at once, otherwise I would've taken Quantity or something. But now my work here is done. Japan is united and your flag flies over Beijing, so it's time for me to leave. There's many other countries and alternate histories calling me along, and I must keep going if I'm ever gonna reach Z." "But...But I..." The emperor felt tears forming at the corners of his eyes. The red hawk, the bringer of fortune and strange vocabulary, was leaving them. "Don't worry. We'll see each other again for sure! It just might be on opposite sides of a war. Toodles!" And with a flash, the red hawk was gone, leaving only the smell of smoke and a few feathers floating gently to the ground. The court was silent until one of the attendants spoke. "Did he just say...he's going to wage war on us?" The emperor buried his face in his hands and wept.

These naval and maritime picks are driving me insane

If our Daimyo is to become Shogun, military ruler of all Japan we must capture Kyoto and hold it for 2 seasons.

Never really gave much thought to the Japanese isles, kinda felt like the Ireland of the East xD

red hawk broke the game in the first 5 minutes, nice

This series is on another level; very well done 👏

Ahh, coalitions? This is the A to Z I remember...

damn, besides the video, which was fantastic as always, this was maybe the only sponsorship of a youtuber actually useful, opera gx is just another level

My best Japan game was forming as So (the pirate dyaimo), when you form Japan you keep the pirate tag and is a very fun Japan as you can raid around the coast of Ming and Korea

I love to watch advertisments about things I already use like Opera GX

Yooooo sponsor!!!! Congrats man!

Can't wait to see you play other dimyo's

Loved the video! And thanks for partially using my suggestion! For Assam, conquer Bengal or Burma and fight Ming as the endgame boss

*1:19* Pyongyang in top left corner *n o i c e*

10:20 the isshiki DID give you back Oda

The thumbnail is hilarious 😂😅🤣

This is my favourite eu4 channel

This is a rare TRIPLE Great Red Hawk Success (tm) weakest coalition ive seen since the early anti-Napoleon coalitions. For Assam? take it from Bill Wurtz: "time to conquer all of India err most of India (not the Tamil Kings no one conquers the Tamil Kings)" Also i know its the wrong video series, but what if the HRE was a bunch of daimyos

Damn the weather in Pyongyang looks kinda cold. Keep yourself warm!

good videos, i loved the jokes in this one xD

What are you gonna do for the daimyos, they all have unique ideas don't they? So you'll need to play them, interested to see what you do with then all. Edit - Especially following this descent into madness on the first Japanese video, lmao.

Nice game bro ! The a to z idea is dope AF. I just wanted to spwan colonism and was scraed of china af and therefore got ma ass bankrupt LMFAO😂😂

my man getting the sponsor money 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I see the new intro fixed the blur spoiler pog pog, also what if I already had opera gx installed 😳

Yay my favourite bird got sponsored

"We are blessed AND cursed" -Big Smoke

Wait, should I stay as the Shogun as Japan to get that the ultimate Daimyo Skill?

I noticed your ad had you located in North Korea. Priceless.

I wish this would have been a vassal swarm video!

Haven't played in Japan since 1.28 or so. Is it still better to stay as Shogun for vassal swarms instead of forming Japan?

I guess i got lucky as ashikaga, as i was able to unify japan by 1491 and remain the shogun. sure diplo annexing the larger ones were expensive, but i managed and had the same amount of territory as you.

Try playing as Ainu, is it possible to form Japan with them

Im hyped

I'm actually early to a red hawk video xD

Always excited for your videos! Assam is a leading producer of tea, Why not capture London as assam.

idk but when u say a to z i just understand "a disease" but I celebrate it :D

Now im waiting for venito drippolini

In 4:48 it is a typical bug when playing as Japan province. I don't know why but this bug happens only on Japan provinces.

"I've occupied everything (In Japan) except tsushima" Reverse Mongols.

7:37 ngl man I really didn't see where it was going

Nice race...,o wait,wrong video XD

Ashikaga is more viable then people think. This is my strat I found while messing with the monarch Japan exploit (although I discovered this in a save that I didn't use the exploit correctly) No CB Korea as your first war as soon as you can. Yes, this involves fighting Ming before they blow up. It will go one of two ways: 1. You lose because Ming eats you so you get out of being the shogun (no such thing as downsides in this war) 2. You outlast Ming and white peace them letting you steal a ton of land from Korea. The stab hit sucks, but your better off even if you lose. The only thing to keep an eye on is if Ming is doing a navel invasion. Let them, this way the vassal swarm just kills off anything that lands (weakens everyone who is involved, this is good for you long term). After that you more or less are racing Ming for allies. You can declare a few wars on Ming's allies as long as you are small (white peace still works). Don't declare on them directly until they explode because Ming will win that war. If your slow at this point in the game you can be completely stalled until you get enough tech to colonize the new world. From there you can kinda start fighting whoever you want. My preference (although its a bad idea) is just to start no cbing all your vassals (get that sweet sweet -3 stab 20 war exhaustion combo) to form Japan as fast as possible. Of course you can keep pushing into Asia.

Great playthrough. Dai Viet is Thicc!

"Everyone is dying and life is miserable, please end the war!" "Call for pizza? idc lmao"

I’ve always played Japan as Ashikaga…. I feel stupid now

If I may ask, why would you do this when you have to play a lot more Daimyo's? Or did you just not think about that?

In my humble opinion an Ardabil one was a bit more spicy))

Your opera was showing weather of Pyongyang coincidence? I don't think so

The masculine urge to decrease autonomy.

ok question, why is, in your Opera plug, the weather of Pyongyang in the browser? xD

When I saw the thumbnail I went "Oh sh--- he got that d r i p" I don't know why but for some random reason I got shocked when I saw him with drip lol.

Why was your location set as Pyongyang?

Baluchistan into mughals guide

Assam should control the tea trade

Ashikaga Shogunate in 24 enemies and client states.

lmao you set the location to pyongyang on the browser

This is like the first time I actually gave a crap about the sponsor in a video.

HELL YEAH TO STRENGTHEN NOBLE PRIVILEGES!

I would download opera if I wasn't using it right now

The bankruptcy meme has gotten old? But you're still on a

How many nations are you going to play through this series?

1:22 so that was it all along, you acctually are from Pyongyang, North Korea.... Kim Jeong Un... is that you?

You didn't form Qing, which wasn't based. But it would be extra based if you formed Qing as Assam to make up for it.

What if - Japanese empire (1936) existed in 1444 - Indonesia was United in 1444

Okay, so... Nice way to form Japan but... why ? It's probably the most inefficient way possible. It's slower, less reliable and you don't get to play with a big vassal swarm. What's the point in doing that ?

They really should make naval ideas better.

nice

Tributaries aren't vassals; they don't join wars with their "liege".

Pyongyangs temperature... Hmmm 🤔

Nice

Become the emperor of China as Assam trololol

Actually early for once lol

Meanwhile in Europe, Britain still thinking it is the naval hegemon

Is Opera GX super slow for you too?

1:22 Pyongyang? how????

Hi I'm new to the chanel, I went for the A to Z EU4.

Tfw using Hirohito as the thumbnail rather than an Ashikaga shogun...

There's a hole in my heart can you fix it

hirohito sama

So…your location in the Opera/gx says you live in Pyongyang… *HELLO COMRADE*

Okay but can you form QING ?

Form Zimbabwe as Ainu

As Assam from the Indian national

i am sorry hawk i already have the opera gx so i can't download it

hmmmm Assikaga

Pyongyang? 🤔

The total lack of claims on the other daimyos pains me. Yes I know you don't need them, but they save admin! Think of the admin!
