Fact that eu4 finland which doesn't even exist in 1444 has a mission tree and hoi4 finland who fought in both winter war and ww2 has a generic focus tree is such a bummer

Day 42 of asking Laith to play as Krakow

I wish they had more dynamic province names in Finnish and related languages. Karelia and Estonia should have been teeming with Finnic speakers.

i hate when every province exept uusimaa, viipuri and pirkanmaa have their swedish name on the map :(

Nice that you finished the finnish baltic empire. Either way, a *Krakow* run *DOES* sound interesting...

As a Finnish myself, l am glad they finally made the nation playable, the old Finnish nation was so weak and did not have any special missions and so on, which kinda sucks honestly :/ But now after the new DLC and update? l love playing as Finland now, it's honestly so much better now to play as Finland than before. It was literally torture and if you wanted to succeed with Finland you needed to hope Novgorod started to support your independence or that most cases it's all based on RNG. But now? l could see easily beat Swedish now when it's so much different now. Though l would wish they could add like great projects at last one into Finland, to make it more interesting to play as. But otherwise? l have no complains

I still can't understand how Finland got mission tree in eu4 before focus tree in hoi4!

That moment when eu4 Finland has more content than hoi4... The same can be said for Lithuania, but with hoi4 having more content than eu4

Once again, @TheSocialStreamers there is a way to become Norse. The requirements are: - Danish, Swedish, Norweigan, Icelandic or Norse as primary Culture - in Age of Discovery -Not had the country flag "had_norse_nostalgia" - is excommunicated OR has modifier "the_statue_in_restraint_of_appeals" - ruler has Scholar trait OR Sinner trait OR is at least 5/5/5 - ⁠Owns the province Bergslagen - ⁠Is independent There will be a chain of 4 events, then your nation will slowly become Norse.

im glad finland gets the credit it deserves

I can confirm after watching all 12 seconds of this video that it is amazing. -trust.

Sweden's a *blast* as well. In my game, I got the PU over Poland, which also gave me Lithuania, and one on Moscovy, so I went in about 20 years from being a major player in the East to owning the entirety of Eastern Europe.

Play as Qasim (releasable from Muscovy 1444 or tag in like 1600 or smth)

21:46 Extends Golden era by 20 years?? that's a pretty damn strong modifier like thats ~40% extra golden age value. Finland seems like a surprisingly good country considering that you know, the country itself didn't do a huge amount historically in the period.

So glad they added Simo Häiha as a mision

Let's all buy a Shit ton of scottish lands and create our own theocracy of Paradox

I'm sorry, Laith. But the sponsor is a scam and they don't actually sell parcels in Scotland. They've been doing this for decades. You're not actually a lord. It's a lot like those things that claim they "name a star after you" it's a scam. It's all a scam.

But uuuh. Åland is Finnish. In everything except the language and culture.

20:48 You can see how long a siege has been going on for by hovering over the part where it says "siege of x province" at the very top in the siege window.

Interesting how Laith didn't want the code to be "SS10" I wonder why, I can't see any way taht could be misinterpreted.

fun fact, if you buy land in scotland specifically to become a lord, you don’t become a lord

More advanced mission tree for a nation that does not exist in 1444 and appears on map once in 100 games than for second most developed nation in 1444

7:56 wtf does that mean? Åland is absolutely Finnish. The people do not want to be under Sweden, even if they speak Swedish.

Åland in real life is owned by Finland, though they do speak Swedish

I played a chill campaign as the ottomas and to stop commonwealth from forming I released Kraków. Later I diplo vassalized them and they became like my pet project. By the end of the game they were sunni (although they converted only one province) and had borders of modern day Poland. Kraków actually seems to have somewhat decent ideas so I'm gonna back up that guy who asks you to play as them.

Where did you got that T-shirt from?

sadly attrition for AI is capped

you should play as Sámi for the memes lol, even if they don't have a vanilla mission tree

19:06 I legitimately had to slow down the video to 50% speed to understand what was being said right here. 😂

7:14 Finland in December 1939

Are you going to finnish this campaign ?

It would be nice to have some mission to either ally or conquer Hungary, just because of the Finno-Ugric language connection

Angevin Empire part 2 when?

Day one of asking for a SUS world conquest

Day 43 asking Laith to play as Krakow

I once had 3 ticks at 99%... This is just absurd.

I know this was months ago, but watching this as I chose Finland to play with Domination, using Infrastructure and Defensive ideas to get +10 attrition in Viborg (as well as new privileges for more defensiveness). I already fought the Poles outnumbered 2 to 1, using a mere 5 attrition and kicking them off the fort with Finland's special cavalry mercs. Just putting it out there that Finland got even better.

9% attrition is actually riddiculous. Were talking defensive play actually beeing more op then offensive play then. level 8 fort and you loose fucking 2-3 thousand troops a month?!?!

talking of needing an ally, im playing great horde and the trouble ive had getting good allies has been horrendous... i tried with poland hoping for help against muscovy, they didnt want to ally me and then rivalled me... the only people who wanted to ally me were hordes next to me that i wanted to invade soon... or tiny nations.. i tried improving with otto.. he rivalled me... even when i got huge and had like +150 with mamluks and rivalled otto & & insulted him etc etc mamluks didnt want to ally.. i had to give gifts and everything to finally get it.. ive never had this much trouble getting alliances...

Laith, Lorde's music is actually really good

Great video Laith! Just a few things about Åland: - it’s pronounced ”Ualand”, the Å makes a sound like ”ua” or ”uo” - Åland is culturally Swedish, but is an autonomous zone of Finland. This is because the Russians captured it during the Northern War, and gave the role of administrating it to the Grand Duchy of Finland. After Finland became independent, they kept it because it had just been that way for centuries already

I like how both you and Red Hawk get a 6 fire and 5 shock general from the "Champion of the Joust" event in your Finland videos...

20:20 how is that even possible? Finland isnt Orthodox so no Royal marriage - how the fuck does Finland have any claim to Muscovy????

shame there's nothing focused on liberating finno-ugric people in Russia, because paradox doesn't even recognise their existence still, pretty based Suur Suomi

Why has Laith still not learned how to pronounce Donegal? Donnegle again. It's not like it's difficult - not asking for Dún na nGall

I think I might be quite alone as a viewer from the Åland Islands. Even if I'm not, I'm quite surprised at how well you actually know the history and your capability of pronouncing our name (some people just use the Finnish Ahvenanmaa to avoid the Å, which to us feels a bit weird since you know, we speak Swedish (not even with a Finnish dialect), but kudos to you, you managed anyways). Good job Laith, keep up the good work. Love your videos :). For anyone wondering, Å is pronounced like the au in "Gaul", or the o in "stop" (eng. pron., as in not "stahp"), Ä is pronounced like the a in grass (Us. pron., as in not "graaass") or the a in jazz, and Ö is pronounced like e.g. the sound you make when thinking ("eeeehm") or the u in "murder". A bit of a lesson in Swedish as well.

Innovative + Espionage + Defensive ideas will let you take two policies that give you a total of 20 percent fort defense.

I don't know who this dude is asking to play Krakow, when I'm out here asking for Galicia Volhynia

Have you disabled the attrition cap in your run or why do you keep talking about 9%+ attrition? Attrition is capped at 5% (for both AI and Players)

Maybe you should've released Sapmi first, then Finland. Not sure if that'd do anything.

And here I am, struggling playing finland against a 90k manpower muscovy, Poland and Lithuania divided, weak and both my only valid allies, the most loyal sweden I've ever seen and nowhere to expand to do the newest achievement

Just start as Sweden, get yourself free (which is easy as hell) then release yourself. Saves a ton of hassle

some games i never pay to increase stab and get endless free stab events,other games i feel im stabbing up constantly

Åland is finnish. I am from Åland and I believe it with all my heart, fight me!

Is attrition still capped at 5% for AI?

hey i was thinking - we need a way to improve alliances in this game.. aren't you fed up with having alliances that are just until you later invade them or screw them over? wouldnt it be nice to make real friendships in the game? have you noticed how allies give you no real reason for helping make them stronger? they screw you over in wars, they often dont even help much now with recent updates, just sitting around doing nothing, then call you into their war and also do very little and expect you to do it all & then they give you nothing in the peace deal... imagine instead a game where allies are useful & helpful and they make you WANT to give them stuff in the peace deal and it has an advantage... I dunno if it does help but i never see them happier with me if i give them land.. this is really dumb. The devs need to add some mechanic in the game that by making your ally stronger & helping them, they stay friends longer... for example if i give them a ton of land and now they have a border with me, they actually like me less - totally stupid in my opinion... id like to see advantages for long term friendships in the game where you dont just want to conquer the entire world and screw everyone over...

if you put your cursor on the portrait in the siege screen you can see, since when did the siege start.

Day 3568969420420 of asking laith to play jan mayen

Torille

torille🇫🇮

16:25 i maximized the value of baltic sea and i made 46 DUCKETS thats fuckin insane

BrandenBurgunDaniShoshoNetherlAndaluSiAmaGotlAndhRagUSA is the best nation in the game

Yes, the Baltic country of Swindon?!

18:12 - Bohemia: "Wohh! This is the other side of Austria. You kidding me?" 😅

As of the latest update, war taxes give you an additional 2 mil points (instead of costing mil). It’s a known bug, so exploit it while you can.

For an attrition gameplay go and play as a kobbold nation in anbennar with the homebrew mod for anbennar(more ideas)

This guy gets a good heir meanwhile I can barely break a combined stats of 9.

Isn't attrition still caped at 5% meaning you overshoot a little bit as finland?

So disappointed that Finland is not another shade of white

Finnish insta click

hey have you done the 3 mountains achievement yet conquering the world as ryukyu?

I like that background music in not loud.

Day 40 of asking who to play Georgia.

why did you edit out the all the battles would be nice to see the stack wipes actually happening

I think the best way to start is probs to get independence as sweden first. In my case i decided to just conquer finland as teutons then release since I wanted to play theocracy finland. Certainly avoided the double subject issue lol.

what map mod do you use? the one in the workshop is outdated and doesnt work with this newest version

Completely unironically, I've actually used established titles to buy my mom a landed title in Scotland for Mother's Day. So seeing it on the video honestly gave me a laugh.

ADM is underwhelmin monarch point compared to DIP and MIL

Lol! Only a quarter way through and I can palpably feel your confusion and impatience!

19:06 To be honest, not much, because I have that bug, that makes my game crash when random stab hitting event happen :D

I love how Mecklembourg saw a country that randomly got independant and despite that he said to himself without even knowing what a fin is "ok we'll definitly be friends." And lol imagine buying a little part of Scotland as an american, the new 16 colonies 😂 Also this vid: *Finland going super sayan and deciding to be a super power and finaly move their butt*

I had a one in a billion chance thing happen the other day, the ai enemy of the player (me) got their siege to 92% which I dont think has ever happened in the history of everyone playing the game, because as we all know the game cheats on sieges. If ours says 49% it means 21% chance if theirs is 49% it means 77% chance etc.. so a 92% means what? 99.9% chance? anyway i was trying to save scum to see if i could get the ai to go to 99% but it just wouldn't do it.. it either always won or went backwards to 85% there were only 2 options... so i dunno if the ai can ever get to 99%

You should play latgalia (new releasable in Livonia.

Laith please do Lubeck next and claim the vacant of the queen of Hansa

So the most powerful militaries are; 1. Prussia 2. Sweden 3. Poland 4. Nepal 5. Songhai 6. Finland?

Please post a screenshot of the retention graph in community

He is slowly dyeing his hair green

Are there any AI improvements?

Isn't attrition capped at 5%?

This doesn't come near the riga campaign satisfaction

holy cow laith playing as finland I must be dreaming

my thoughts exactly every time i see -5% tech cost ideas, shoulda been 10

Day 1 of asking for Krakow

no 9 attrition forts sadgies

Conquer Korea as finland

True chads form Swizerland as Feenland

Would love to see more of this campaign. Conquer your way through Siberia and see how many Chinese doomstacks you can attrition away

I think part of me died when I heard "Denegle"

Paradox making the most balanced mission trees in the world
