Europa Universalis 4 Review: "Find" America™ | Ruin Everything™ 

You're easily one of my more respected small RU-vidrs that I know of, you're not jumping overly into one "style" either which I really like. I get the genuine impression that you just decided to make a video on a game that you liked, which is something a lot of other small creators miss when they're desperately scrambling to do something wacky for more views. You still have some habits I don't like (transitions are a bit dubious) but considering the kind of high effort videos you're attempting and the frequency of uploading, I think you're doing absolutely terrific. 😃

What's better than playing a historical videogame? Listening to Lindybeige ranting about history while playing historical videogames.

I like how you combine the memeiness of other well known reviewers with a more in depth look at gameplay mechanics. It strikes a really good balance between being fun ans informative.

Ah, it's one of these days when I get the urge to start a new EU IV campaign because I bought 3 DLCs and there were 4 patches since the last one. Then I think about my obligations to my kids, my marriage and society and instead decide to rather watch another random "EU IV in 20XX" review instead. Mr. Toastoffire, I have to congratulate you. This one was the best and most entertaining I've ever watched. Your references to Dunning-Kruger and Marxism also helped me understand why I like this game so much. And "All war is based" is the most I've laughed in weeks. In fact, this was so entertaining that I might now have to actually subscribe to your channel ... and actually start that new EU IV campaign anyway. You win some you lose some, I guess.

Criminally underrated, gonna be good to see when this really pops off.

Toastoffire on his way to lose 2 weeks of his life to every game ever speedrun either way this channel truly is a gem

Great video man,i like your take on the "Diet Ssetech" Style 3:17 My man use AutoClicker and that will save your hands. 5:01 Well considering the politics of Paradox as a company this is accurate and also explains why literal mana (Points) and Money are the only things that matter in the end. 13:09 You became a CONSOOMER that´s the explanation.

Great video!! I feel like it combines the informativeness of mandalore with the memes of sseth in a cool way that doesn’t distract from either of them

Kudos to the great description of the game. As an eu4 player who recently reached the 2100 hour mark, the music comment is far too real. I can't remember when I decided to just turn off the music forever, it was just a long time ago. The game never gets boring as the next match can be very diverse from the current one, but boi aint it a timesucker

Just found your channel during the holidays, and am surprised it wasn't recommended to me before, as it's right up my alley I enjoy listening to you explain the same processes that have stolen upwards of 500 hours of my life, and that's just in 1 paradox game, I dare not mention crusader kings 2 and 3 Keep up the good work, you're getting better with every video

You do a great job of keeping a balance between getting into (interesting) details and not turning it into a newcomer guide, it's very enjoyable to watch

Awesome work man, love the vids, algorithm with catch you eventually.

Ahh, so this is the one that I watched the editing live stream of! Good job!

I just came across this video in my steam feed and I enjoyed it so much I had to come here. As someone who has spent a little too much time playing paradox games keep up the great content!

That was interesting. I was thinking what makes this so different from other games like Ck2 aside from the setting, and seeing gameplay of map games I don't understand never really help me all that much. Thank you.

I have less than -300 interest in map games but your editing and style of videos make almost anything interesting to watch keep going 💯

The Algorithm is drawing viewers to you, like me. I really appreciate this sort of comedic video game reviews. Admittedly there are similar, more popular reviewers I am more familiar with, but you have your own style and vibe and that's great to see. Thank you for these vids!

Like ur stuff a lot so far, very reminiscent of other big boys such as Sseth and Mandalore but with a sprinkle of your own, Warhammer vid reminded of Max0r. You kinda inspire to make something of my own someday. Keep up the good work

What I really like about this game is that it doesn't why away from all of these horrible historical events like slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide, razing & pillaging. And mass murder on an industrial scale in a pre-industrial setting. I always return to this game about once a year.

Your videos are so good! I've just found your channel and it is truly fantastic

Cool video, I hope you get that job!

Great review! Instant sub

awesome vid omg how are you not at 1 mil subs

For a lot of people who mainly play the multiplayer, they never buy the DLC's, since the aspect of the game they find most interesting will already have a host with them anyways. However occasionally they want to either host themselves or play something in singleplayer, for which the subscription service is more usefull. Though I think its only Europa Universalis and Crusader kings 2 for which you'd need to have the subscription for more than 7 months to equal the costs of the DLC's, the others have a lower number of them since a lot of features are just part of the free updates

"Slavery is based" Toastoffire 2022

I love Eu4, but I always get screwed over in the economic sector of things

wow whoever was in control of the civ v game at 2:50 must be a real god gamer, that is a great civ empire i bet they are epic irl as well :]

and my most recent fun campaign was a month ago as poland. with 3 mates playing the expanded modset with some hardcore AI the ottomans declared war on me which was a big mistake as i had managed to stack about 90+ ish cavalry combat ability the winged hussars arrived

Ah, Lindybeige on the second monitor, we should talk sometimes

Nice video, I wonder if you will add video about MEIOU and Taxes? it is interesting mod but I even cannot into EU IV so eh.

Ok for real though top tip do not forget your admin/military estates privs for that sweet extra +1 mana. Also what is the song at 4:26 because it uh, it sounds interesting.

Damn the quality is superb

"It's not really a spectator sport". It depends on the circumstances. There have multiplayer playthrough and Dev clashes that were fine enough.

just discovered your channel and boy It has been a while I've actually laughed at something from the internet, your ck2 video made me chuckle on multiple occasions. I like that you take the time to actually explain the mechanics instead on full on memeing about it, while still memeing about it. Keep up the good work buddy ! Edit : Btw, as much as it pains me to say, your french bashing is actually fun, for an american. Don't forget we gave you your country tho

Nice video dude. However, the ending music was painful.

High five for the "China will grow larger" C&C Generals reference, if I'm not mistaken!

was half expecting you to mention some of the rock music that is dlc when talking about the music in game, just the hmm what matches the game play of managing my economy right now oh i know fucking The Lion from the North by Sabaton

Nice, and the BRIISH JUPEN is still as hilarious

I hear Interplanetary Spark in this video, + my respect

Being a veteran strategy player, and lover of 4x games and also being someone who consumes 30mg of amphetamines everyday….. Europa is the only strategy game that appropriately scratches my very picky itch.

ive gotten 1.4k hours in this game mostly because my i play multiplayer and the guys i play with mostly like playing Eu4

Hey. Great video. Spreading the word among my mates.

Ngl these are epic

Huzzah! Neat video.

"Content Warning: This game is about human history" Is unironically the funniest and saddest line I think I've ever heard.

Is this SsethTzeentach's alt account? Sorry this was the first review of yours I came across and couldnt help but notice the uncanny resemblance of style and voice. it was a review funny for sure

I'm almost entirely free from ADHD medication. Almost.

I have over 5000 hours in this game. I have been playing it since I was 14. I'm 23 now, help

Underrated channel ngl

I liked HOI4 & Stellaris both.. but EU4 idk I can ever get into.. maybe with the subscription service I might give it a try for how darn cheap it is..even if I absolutely hate the idea of it.

Actually Europe is quite Europe centralised game, in late game as asian country player I often suffer. The reason is not that I can't cath up and be on par, with all odds on approximately same level, europeans still will be stronger as mil tech goes further. In the beginning attack and defence amount is the same for any place. Africa, eurasia and america has the same around 2 or 3 total points on attack and defence, but on mil tech 20 there will be difference in 5 to 10 points, which will allow european to wipe asses of the far natives, as long as dice and size is not against them. I personally played around 60 hours before I realised that converting to your faith is quite important. And yes, I know this video was published a year ago, just wanted to tell it.

Nice

U a genius + 1 sub

Vicky 2 next?

I've just discovered your channel and I wonder: how the hell do you have so small amount of subscribers?

You look at a map with colors for hours on end 🤔

:) well, maybe I'll go turn my 1200 hours into 1300 wait, no, I just had an entire campaign, I can't look at this game now (until the next coupe of dlc)

2:46 💀

2:20 why do you always add this music in?

I play Stellaris so the 4th x, exterminate, is quite fitting.

👍

Never really could get into this game. Probably because it focuses too much on map painting. Unlike CK2 or Vicky 2 which gets you more immersed in the world. Recentlt picked up Hoi4, which i taught would be like EU4, but the immense mods in the game make it enjoyable. The amount of stories written by people is insane. Games like TNO allow you to not even play.And you can also dont touch combat just by battleplanning to victory.

Minimal googling would have told you this wasn't a 4x game.

i did love the video xD

You have ADHD? That's a nice Sseth Tzeentach reference!

I like this video, too :=)

Your channel is just like a diamond found by a small african child in the mines of south africa

wait until he finds Hoi4....

Imagine losing your lands to people who say "COR BLOIMY"

This game literally made me have negaitve bitches, I played this in highschool and have like 1800 hours, I have since recovered from my autism.

That's something wrong with your channel. With that quality of content it should be at least 50-100x more followers and views than it's now

so it's a sseth game

comment for algorithm

>250 hours lol. lmao, even.

How are you not shadow banned?

Bro why u disrescpect france? France was the second colonial power while being the land power of europe. All king in europe speak french cause france was the nobility Boss

:)

Its not a 4x game lol

You know it does sound like a weirdly Marxist game.

and that man was jewish
