Ruler survives to eighty years old... the dark side of the Force leads to abilities that some would consider... unnatural.

As Palawa become the best Pal: Get 10 Allies to 100 Trust, 8 Diplo Rep, accept all call to arms, and defeat a Great Power with using only allies and mercs

An obsessive sinner who fights boldly? The Emperor really was Palpatine.

Emperor Palatine got so old. Very appropriate roleplay.

That's amazing how our Boy Ludwig the IV of Wittelsbach really outtshined Palpatine in every way : starting as a relatively minor prince, he clawed his way on the diplomatic game until he became empror, from which he ruled with strength, destroying the electors who opposed him and replacing them with his allies. He became the king-empror of Milan, Burgundy and Bohemia, and mercilessly tore through the foundations of the old empire. As the aging king became a force to be reckoned with, only one nation dared to opposed him : the french, full of pride and envy. But the old king knew the way : he waited for them to appear weak, and Europe marched against them. With his rival humiliated, nothing opposed the dark empror : he reclaimed the old capital, and promised to restore it to the beauty it once had. At this point, he had outlived several of his heirs, and rulers saw him as this fortress, whose shadow was upon them since childhood. But the empror did not care. When the Lutherans revolted, the paper never made it past the gates of Aachen, for the empror was discussing his final maaterpiece : conquest of the heatens from the other side of the sea. He called the Crusade, and emerged victorious, cementing his reputation as a legend. At the age of 81, the old king now nicknamed "The grandfather of Europe" finally died. His life of cunning diplomatic gains and his military genius mad the Holy Palatine Empire the uncontested master of Europe, ruling from Aachen, the Last Rome

As Palawa conquer provinces of Palu(in Moluccas) and Awa(in Japan)

By having the personal unions with Milan you also have the place where anakin skywalker married padme

4:40 the bavarian Lozeng (diamond shapes) flag comes from some place in Bavaria and was adopted by the Wittelsbach family in the Middle Ages and they basically made it their family sigil

29:16 fun thing is those traits are kinda Palpatine’s traits: So bold he fought the top Jedi masters and won. Sinner for Dark side of the force and perfectionist for big probably overpaid constructions like the Death Star. All aligned

o7 emperor palpatine, ruler of burgundy, milan, bohemia, and tatooine. the dark side of the force kept him alive for 80 long years.

i study history in Heidelberg (capital of the Palatinate in EU4) and we had a course of the coat of arms of the dynasty of Wittelsbach. The squares and the lion originally were both symbols of the whole dynasty, but it seperated over the years -> squares became the typical symbol of the bavarian Wittelsbachs, which is still seen in todays official documents and in the flag; while the lion became the typical symbol of the Wittelsbachs of the Palatinate and still is represented in the city flag or in symbols all over the region :)

This goal was more creative and more fun then 90% of Eu4 achievements.

Hahaha. I should comment more often. Really funny video. Epic game. 😁

As Palawa conquer the province "Brno" in Bohemia, which is part of South Moravia which contains the "Pálava Hills", famous for it's wine!

In my opinion one of the best if not the best A to Z. It was incredibile to see what you managed to accomplish in such a short amount of time. We will always remember Ludwig the IV, long last his empire!

EZ dub. I guess Ludwig IV von Wittelsbach is the real Emperor Palpatine the whole time. (who also died in his 80s). A proper Palatinate run seems like a lot of fun actually, lots of PUs and stuff.

The moment when Hawk plays Star Wars Universalis IV 😁

As Palawa become "pals" (allies) with every single great power while staying a minor power.

Ah yes, my favorite elector: The Palpatinate.

As palawa become a padawan. Get a regency for an heir below 5

You might have been able to avoid that coalition by popping out Moravia/etc. in the peace deal... I think since you're "taking" less land that way, the AE impact is less. You have to select to release them before you select "Union with" in the peace deal though, otherwise they get grayed out.

Good timing once more. I did think these goals were hilarious, I'm glad you went for them!

Bro I never knew palatinate missions are so good together with such good rng

Conquer constantinople as palawa

This challenge was funny as hell, keep up the good work!

Love this series and releaseables, keep up the good work!

I've been waiting for Palawa. Since Palawa has the highest shock damage bonus in the game from national ideas, as Palawa, have the highest shock damage bonus in the game. Reform as a horde and take Horde, Expansion, and Diplomatic which each grant a bonus +10% shock damage in their policies.

Mad dude... I've followed your videos for quite a long time, but this sickness of perfect roleplay as Palps (like other comments says) made you gain a sub.

One of your best videos for sure, didn't know they had such a cool mission tree

Awesome video as always, Hawk! As Palawa - honestly, survive and flourish and have fun! Edit: F in the chat for the Emperor Palpatine the Old.

As Palawa, survive colonization and take an island province from each nation that attempts to colonize Australia in return.

This should be an achivement actually.

As Palawa, subjugate Malwa and Kilwa

It’s hilarious to me that in this Palpatine themed game the ruler of the Palatinate HAPPENED to randomly have the traits “bold” “sinner” and lived to be 80 years old which is probably the oldest I’ve ever seen a ruler. Wow. EU4 understood the assignment today.

love it!

As 'Palawa' means doing a lot of talking about the same topic again and again in my dialect: Conquer every province that starts with 'Pa' and at the end have a ruler, an heir and a general whose names start with 'P'

This was so good at this point I would love to see it as a real achievement in eu4, seems like a super fun roleplay run. Maybe somebody in PDX will see this before the new dlc comes out :D

One of your best episode

How fitting is it that the emperor is good at shock, lives forever, and is a sinner. "Somehow, Emperor Ludwig returned!"

This was an amazing play-through, thanks. If you pushed things further, this would look like a very promising start of a world conquest... with Palatine? I did this achievement once where you have to conquer every chinaware/porcellain province in the world as Saxony and I THNK it took me about the same amount of time to even gain access to the Baltic sea, as you needed to gain Tunisia. With a good diplomatic game, you will gain the thrones of Bavaria, Austria, Denmark, maybe even Spain... this really looked promising to me. It really makes me want to play Palatine and try a WC. Never played them to be honest.

With how unique, poweful and amazing palatinate mission tree, it would be a crime not to make a video guide for it

Very good vid ! Think you were little bit Lucky but GG from a french player

Honestly, my preferred method when dealing with free cities is to feed them to my allies (without cobeligerate the free city) and just conquer the province from them eventually. Good video

This was a great campaign. I should play more games like this too, it's a good way to make a game you've enjoyed for ten years feel fresh again!

This was extremely fun.

As Palawa, you start with the capital region of Peerapper. So try to collect provinces with funny names, like Shatt.

Very cool.

You might be able to do no CB + vassalize shenanigans to get around these "go conquer someone super far away" goals. Maybe against like Mzab or someone small just in order to get a foothold there.

Epic

Nice

YESSSSS

"Pal" awa. Diplo vassalize who you can, then form a true swarm by using your vassals to conquer and vassalize others along the way.

Having his original ruler for so long: a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

dk if someone already said this, but if you took aachen early, you could move capital there and just concentrate a lot

This was the best goal yet for sure!

hawk you shoud talk to the devs about fixing the "improve with outraged countries" auto improve. Just make this option improve until max or until they actually leave the coalition ( so annoying do it manually)

o7 Rest in peace, my emperor

As usual, I still try to ask for the "remove fog of war" cheat at the end of a campain to answer all the possible questions that "we can't know" imagine if Beijng was lower dev or just a few clicks away, that would be super cool to see

As the Nahuatl nation of Otomi, annex all of the Ottomans to become the Otomin empire.

I once had an England run where the starting ruler (I don’t remember his name) survived to 86…had four consorts and no heirs

As Palawa, simply play until 1510 doing whatever because Australia is immense pain. You do have good mil ideas though.

Wish you had the "keep border not gore" goal in every campaign xD

Palpatine died, Vader took over to finish the job

Even the ruler is roleplaying

Of course its still your first leader. You are playing the Palpatinate. The leader of course is Palpatine.

Bro doesn't even own Tataouine :o I'm starting to suspect he might not be the real emperor after all :D

Ironic!!! 🎉🎉

I see the senate, I upvote

@32:00 "you guys know the goals, no need to repeat myself" This man just forgot the goals!

The Palatinate appears to have some interesting missions. Do you think a guide would help highlight them?

Can you imagine if all those HRE princes could talk...it be like yo dawg whats ur powers? i make pissed off rebels, even more pissed off...

The oldest ruler I've ever had in any campaign is an 84-year-old 5/2/6 during my Aq Qoyulu campaign, He took the throne when he was 26 years old

This should honestly be a proper in game achievement

This gotta be one of the best goals so far. Too bad Darth Plagueis couldn't save the Emperor from death.

80 years old is wild I had a ruler live to 76 as Qing and I accidentally got the live long and prosper achievement

this is such a good run ... also how come you didnt expand infrastructure at 30 dev for the extra cost reduction again ?

This is the way

Rags to Riches: As Ragusa, conquer Constantinople and make it the highest value trade node.

hmmmmm Very Very nice

Glad they didn't ask you to move your capital to Khorasan lol

o7 plapatine beefed it

Concentrate development man. Concentrate.

As Emperor you have the coring range for all provinces in the HRE.

How do you have the "Sue for Peace" window so large ? Is it a mod ? And what other mods are you using ?

Palawa, hmmm, gotta collect 'em all I guess: Own every single one-province island in the world.

Aztec playthrough soon?

I had a 92 year old Harald Hardråde in CK2, that's my record

The Palpatinate 💀

o7 Ludwig

As Palawa become the master of palms (California) and lava (Lovely Hawaii events)

You are the diet!

23:23 You could just have done the claims-bordering-claims from Lucca through Sardinia avoiding the war with France.

You can expand infrastructure more than once.

Louis IV, Count Palatine of the Rhine (1 January 1424, Heidelberg - 13 August 1449, Worms) was an Elector Palatine of the Rhine from the House of Wittelsbach in 1436 - 1449. Louis IV was the son of Louis III, Elector Palatine and his second wife Matilda of Savoy. His mother was a fourth-generation descendant of Thomas III of Piedmont (1248 - 1282), the eldest son of Thomas II of Savoy.[citation needed] From the death of Louis III in 1436 until 1442, Louis IV ruled under guardianship of his uncle, Count Palatine Otto I of Mosbach. In 1444 he repelled the attacks of the Armagnacs as an Imperial captain. In 1445 he married Margarete of Savoy, widow of king Louis III of Naples and daughter of Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy. With her, he had his only son, Philipp (14 July 1448 - 28 February 1508).[3] When Louis died in 1449, aged 25 years, in Worms, his brother Frederick inherited the Palatinate. Louis was buried in the Holy Spirit church of Heidelberg. Your guy lived a lot longer.

o7

I love (HRE) democracy

Palpatine would have scorched Ajuuraan too.

I like how disconnected all the land was. Why reconnect your land when you can pick up even more disconnected provinces.

How did he get the bohemia PU mission? There must be a bug that considers him the leader of a religious league because he's HRE Emperor, which makes him the leader of the Catholic League Edit: yup, I tested it. Becoming HRE emperor fulfills the conditions even if the Catholic League hasn't spawned yet.
