Eu5 Brandenburg into German Empire borders by 1350 confirmed?

12:35 bro thought he could call Edirne *Eretna* and get away with it

Fun fact: Zhu yuanzhang had yuan in his name is because 'zhang' is the name of a weapon, and 'Zhu' kinda sounds like the character meaning 'to kill'. Also the name is given by himself after he revolts so basically his name means the spear to kill Yuan.

You'd think that they picked 1337 to predate the hundred years war. But Sweden is not overpowered and despite Tinto moving to Spain this is a Swedish company. And in 1338 the Norwegian nobility forced the king to name his younger son as the heir in Norway in order to dissolve the union.

yes, you should do straight up history videos aswell. (with your sources in the description of course) ✅

The Black Death is the ultimate mid-to-late game lag tester. Considering you'll have 16th century populations on day 0 and spend the next two-hundred years just catching up to where you STARTED. ;D

That little remark about immunity is truer than you think. If you can trace your ancestors back to cities that were ravaged by the plague, there is ~10-25% chance you are not only immune ti Plague, but potentially HIV. Back in the late 80s/early 90s there was a man living in San Fransisco who went to the doctors wracked with pain and guilt. The doctors gave him a full checkup and asked him what the problem was, as he was in perfect health, aside from some scarring on his arms. He said "that's the problem doc, I shouldn't be". Turns out he was a very sexually active homosexual and was also into needle-based drugs, no condoms, sharing needles. All his friends and lovers were dying of aids, but even though he was participating in at-risk behavior with them, 100% HIV negative. They ran more tests including the new technology of DNA sequencing. Turns out he had 2 copies of a gene that affected the white blood cells, making them difficult to impossible to hijack by parasites. HIV attacks the body by infecting white blood cells and riding them to your lymph nodes where they multiply. By having these mutant white blood cells, HIV couldn't grab hold and would get flushed out of the body. Although HIV is a virus and Yersinia Pestis is a bacteria, the plague attacks the body in the same way. They traced the genes back to Spanish and Italian roots IIRC. There is also a single gene version of the mutation where your cells get infected, but are blocked from returning to your lymph nodes, so they get infected and die off, leaving you with a cold.

I’d definitely like a Black Death history video, my fav videos of yours are the history ones or just eu4 campaigns where you give a little more background history as you play

God am so hyped for eu5 and i blame lubi for this

The Romanians stole the Black Death data.

Your my #1 channel for EU4,EU5 news, just wanted to say thank you.

honestly, giving context on the historical background for the Eu5 start date really sets you apart from the many other youtubers reviewing the dev diaries, much appreciated!

Oh god Imagine just playing and 10 years in the Black Death shows up. EU 5 Is gonna be interesting...

Turkish name for Adrianople is Edirne, Eretna is a beylik in Anatolia.

The black death is considered one of the first major step towards globalization as due to the death of large parts of the population the surviving people had significantly more wealth to spend on foreign goods, mainly from the silk road.

Between 1.37 and EUV must be at least a year, so you guys content creators can make at least 50 more videos on EUV before it's even released :)

1:54 MEGA death 4:51 Hundred Years War 6:28 Yuan & Ming 7:51 Rise of Venice 8:45 Great Famines 9:30 Golden Horde 11:41 end of ad, Collapse of the Ilkhanate & Rise of Ottomans/Fall of Byzantine Empire 13:03 Banks 14:02 Mayans 15:05 Religion 15:56 Province & Population 23:12 Buildings 28:04 Taxation & Raw Materials 31:49 Trade 35:15 Armies and Navies 38:12 Loans 38:50 Outro

A monthly update on EU5 with the most important highlights would be great.

It would be so nice to see them replace war exhaustion with more Grappa graspable consequences to war. Like there being famine because your conscripts can't harvest their fields anymore and that becoming less of a problem the more you transfer to a standing army.

I would like to have both video ideas. The Video about Black Death and the monthly update about EU5

Really good video! I think the hook for me with this video is that you are grounding the history within the context of the (expected) game mechanics. If it were just straight history, it would be less differentiated relative to a history-focused RU-vid channel that would go more in depth on each individual topic. Hope you keep producing stuff like this!

Fun fact: In China the names of imperial Dynasties are usually allusions to states from the formation period of "classical China" (Zhou, Chunqiu and Zhanguo-period) based on the rough proximity to those states. Prominent exception being the later dynasties, that followed more certain concepts Jurchen-Jin and later Manchu-Jin 金, Yuan 元, Ming 明 and Qing 清. The name of a dynasty is not the name of the emperor! In fact there was a practis which made it a forbidden thing to use the personal name of the emperor (name taboo) out of respect. Yuan is obviously not the family name of the rulers of the Mongols (they had odd foreigner names that don't follow Chinese conventions such as 成吉思汗) as they were a dynasty of foreigners that use a different script and they all got honorific names or temple names such as "highest imperial ancestor of Yuan" etc. Therefore, if you look up an emperor of China on Wiki those guys have usually like 4-5 different names. Sadly, in EU4 this is not really implemented and all the Ming rulers just have the family name Zhu like normal humans - what a sacrilege. ;)

These EU5 theorizing videos are really good and interesting content! Keep em coming please, very good way to keep up to date on the development!

A history video on the black death would be awesome.

Ludi history videos would be absolutely hilarious and probably also super informative. Great way to pivot and broaden the channel’s scope

These videos are great bro. Didn't expect it to be an introduction to history of every place on earth when I clicked a video with this title, but I like it.

Would love to see a video on the black plague as long as you have good pictures and editing ludi!

History video on the black death would be awesome. Always love hearing you talk history and vids likes this.

Really an interesting video with all the historical background you gave about the 1300's! Btw, the correct pronounciation of Chioggia (The Italian town which gave name to the famous battle) would be "Kiodja".

Hey, Ludi! Fantastic insights!

The video on the black death would be really welcomed.

Great video! Love it!!

Love the work as always man, thank you for the lesson as well. BD content would be great btw, supported 👍

@ludi because of you, i just read an article 20min long, how the republic of ragusa was the first state to implement a quarantine in the world. thank you! :D

Please make this a series. And video's about history sounds like a great idea.

awesome to see you closing in on 200k, way to go!

Bruh, love when you do the history stuff, that's why I started to follow

The Aztecs are practically new to Central America so they didn’t exist by that time, at that time we have the shift of power between Teotihuacan and xochicalco and malinalcor and the raise of the toltecayotl and the shift of power between the lower highland mayans like Tikal and oxtetun, palenque to the peninsular mayans like chicken it’s and uxmal with the exception of Copan.

omg the loan system is almost exactly what I commented in a past video, thats sooooo cool

Poland will be OP, cause of jagellons before varna and was never touched by black plague

Imperator rome is such a beautiful game; while the euIV map is classic, it’d be cool if they leaned into the map style of imperator. On a similar note, I hope it’s a more detailed map, ie. More and smaller territories.

I think history videos in general would open yourself to a more general public, thus getting more views and subs. In my case you got me interested in EU4 just because of your narrative so it'd be a cool idea to experiment with new content :)

Italian main representative here the breda 501 is gods gift to man

Just to let you know about the Yuan Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang, these characters have multiple meanings so just because Zhu Yuanzhang has Yuan in his name doesn't mean it carry the same meaning as the Yuan in Yuan dynasty

Cahokia, a north american massive city would be at its end around 1337 as well

It will be super interesting to see where the balance of some of these things fall. War might end up being super expensive. Like it was. Total war was relatively rare, when in EUIV every war is total war, and it's rarely a good idea to peace out without 100% war score. Hopefully there will be better mechanics for smaller wars, with this increase is cost. I also love the idea that trade goods matter. Got nothing but grain? Well it's gonna be hard to equip an army. Got nothing but iron? All you can do is trade it away, and if your neighbors don't want to trade you're out of luck. Try not to starve. In EUIV the only real reason you'd go for certain trade goods is money. It's 99% which one will give you the most money. Of course trade was a major thing during this time period, so if you've got surpluses you can make use of them, but it will likely often be better to produce it yourself. And if you don't you better have strong alliances to protect your trade.

Nice Video Ludi! Where is the link for the new eu4 DLC?

The name of Zhu Yuanzhang (1st ruler of Ming) was given by himself after he started to lead an army against Yuan dynasty. And the name actually means the sharp jade blade that would kill Yuan.

A mixture of Imperator and Stellaris mechanics - not bad

I want to se every single history video idea you've ever had.

The one thing I wonder is how population works for mercenaries , if they have their own pops or if they are from their home area that is managed but transferred to another faction if they hire them (I.e Swiss pikemen, Genoese crossbowmen, free company etc)

Big thumb up for the great pleague historical video

id love to see you make more videos focueds on History

Yes pls do a video about the black death Ludi !

23:10 well, actualy for Europe it was both: food production and reduction of mortality amongst children

I commented on a previous video about how I wanted food to get more focus as a part of the economy (though that comment got deleted by RU-vid). And I'm soo glad we got to see a hint of that! So, it seems like there could probably be a build centered around exporting food as a medium-sized playing tall nation. And while doing that you'd get the classic playing-tall strategy of maximizing population! It seems like the already-existing way of playing tall in EU4, but with more stuff going on, which is how an ideal sequel should be!

One big thing I think you left out historically, though I can't blame you since fuck, 1336-1338 was a time when a whole lot of shit happened, is that it was the start and rise of Vijayanagara, as well as the beginning of the fall of the Tughluq dynasty in Delhi given the Mabar rebellion happened in 1334 just 3 years prior to the start, which was the establishment of Madurai as well. Tughluq himself and many of his troops fell ill with the plague trying to ride out to suppress that very same rebellion. He wouldn't die until 1351, but a lot in the North and South of India was changing rapidly at the time. It's a very interesting period in general and I want to see how a campaign as Vij plays out in this new start date.

likely playing France for my first game, i've been in love with Joan of Arc's story since playing AoE2 back in 1999 and eu4 just misses the time period of my favourite historical figure.

My only hope is that we still have mission trees like eu4.

honestly at this point idc what the topic of the video is anymore. ludi is a comedian

I wonder if raising levies reducing the amount of peasant pops, meaning you produce less food and raw materials. The cost of war really would be pretty high, unless you can stockpile food and supplies

Armies are also a source of control, stated by Johan in a reply to a comment

It just seems for the current moment that there will be much more micro mechanics and thus playing tall could be more interesting

This is looking like what I've been asking for for years. That being the fluid introduction of any manufactury or any manufactured trade good in any province, eh, well, location, I guess. What it will likely be is importing raw materials and then manufacturing goods in buildings and exporting those. This makes me think that they want to accurately simulate colonial systems, which irl were used as a way of acquiring goods, importing them to the mainland, manufacturing goods in the mainland and then exporting that back to the colony to make profits.

id love to see a ludi history on black death video

a black death vid could be so cool, i hope u will do it !

Please do a history video on the impact of the Black Death!

Hit me with the history Ludi, I need it in my bones

Mega Campaign from EU5 into Vic 3 will totally flow well

I've been playing europa universalis since the release of III. I've never been so hype.

Playing tall will be amazing in this game

18:10 as a swede I can confirm this is indeed what it means x)

Another important knowledge for player who will play HRE is rise of Luxemburg dynasty and Bohemia. Because in 1337 Luxemburgs rules in Bohemia, by John of Bohemia. His son Charles IV. was Emperor of HRE and make many reforms who make Bohemia, basicaly heart of HRE and encreas of church power. Idk if this will be abble to EU5 but I think yes, because this Charles IV was very important rule for second half of 14th century.

Been liking that you’ve been adding some historia instead of just doing ludi.

Hey Ludi, could you give a reference to the book about Black Death you mentioned in the video?

One of my favourite mods in EU4 is the trad goods expanded which allows you produce new types of trade goods for profits and bonuses. I've always wanted this kind of soft system in a game and was part of the reason why I like Vic 3 despite the state it finds itself in. This game is either going to be my new favourite paradox game or make me super sad. At least with it being eu5 they're far less likely to abandon a mainline title at risk of destroying their fanbase's trust. So even if it's undercooked at launch it might shape up into somethign great all the same.

Little correction at 28:05 for the taxation. The current tax value(0,42 gold) is already the percentage of maximum tax value(0,76 gold), and this percentage is directly your control over the province (56%). This is different than having 56% of 0,42gold like you said Ludi, which doesnt add up if you look at the total tax base of the estates (0,4 gold and not 0,23). Then the last filter is the tax rate on each estate to calculate the total tax income of that province, which is 0,05. It seems that the big bottle neck is the tax rate of estates. My guess would be something like (Buildings, Ressource gathering information) > Total tax value > (%control) > current tax value >(estate population*modifier for each estate)>estate tax base>(estates tax rate%)> province tax income. Like explained by Johan it seems that nobility and burghers are having a big share of the current tax value despite representing a lesser part of the population. Yohan seems to describe it as a dynamic modifier based on laws, privileges and power of each estate on the province.

You're doing a great job getting me excited for this game... maybe a little too great, I wish I could play it right now

I can’t wait EU5!!!!!

So excited for the population system

Actually theres some historical evidence that the noble black rats have been slandered for centuries. Gerbils are very common on the steppe and they need specific conditions to have bursts of population. Every time those specific conditions are met there was a burst of the Black Death cases

Mister Ludi. Since you did not mention your Romance brothers of Portugal and Spain, can I suggest a video, or video series, where you show us, eu4 maps or real maps, of the several regions of Europe and more? Like. What was Portugal and Spain doing in 1337? Was colonization and exploration already on the way by the Portuguese? How unified were the Spanish kingdoms? How did the Northern African powers dealt with each other and the Iberians pushing the muslims out of iberia? How did the several french dominitions reacted to the 100 years war? What was happening in centreal Europe? etc îmbrățișări de la un frate iberic

4:10 It’s called Ablution, Muslims pray 5x a day, they have to have ablution before praying. In Arabic this is known as “Wudhu.” It is a minor ritual purification. It consists of washing hands, mouth, nose, face, hair, ears, arms and feet. There is also “Ghusl”which is major ritual purification. It’s essential full body wash, i.e taking a bath. Wudhu and Ghusl are usually performed after different occasions, but Wudhu is more consistently done than ghusl.

Did you ever tell us your playtime in eu4? If not: Playtime reveal, when?

Eu5 is looking hype

"There are more WAYS of getting raw materials".. that lets me think that you can attack other countries and get raw materials (either in peace deals, or maybe by looting a province/location). Maybe it's the same with food, and maybe troops may loot provinces to have food for themselves. That means that SIEGES MAY BE LIMITED IN TIME, if you can not provide supplies to your troops, as they would consume the location's food and then starve. On the other hand, sieges mechanis may depend on how much food the sieged forts have, and in general supplies. I would love to see this mechanics, logistics would have a major role in wars, which is pretty accurate!

If you do the Video on the bubonic plagues' affect on Europe, will you do the first wave of it, that being the Justinian plague and how it also affected europe as a prequel video? As it is a very close topic.

32:00 with you doing much talking in other languages, I'm curious. In what language did you write in your notes?

8:02 "battle of Chioggia" "ch" in italian is an hard sound, a "k". If it were as you pronounced it it would have been "cioggia" Also, overall i like that the control mechanic favors smaller nations in the feudal eras when society was more self sufficient and better infrastructure and administration leds to the modern nation-state

Would absolutely love to see a Black Death video!!!

Could you please do a all of England by 1530 as mikmaq 😅.

Yuan as playable at the start date is honestly a great decision on their part

12:34 I think you meant Edirne not Eretna

Yes gief history video about black death! Really hope they dont make EU5 too complicated.

am i the only one who does not really like the "-id" suffix of turkic houses? i'm not a historian, nor a linguist, so i don't know for sure, but turkish people use the "-li" or "oglu" (son) suffix for their houses. like the karamanids being "karamanlı" or "karamanoglu" in turkish.

6:03 You must mean Philip VI of France, who was Philip the fourth's nephew that inherited the throne because all of Philip's sons died(they all served as kings consecutively) without male heirs(well except for one but his heir was born after his death and lived for 5 days). That is also why Edward III's claim had some legitimacy behind it, because the last surviving child of Philip the fourth was Isabella, whose son was Edward. Making Edward higher up in succession if we consider that Isabella passed her claim to him, but if we presume that the system is fully agnatic, then Philip VI deserves the throne. Anyways, the simple correction I wanted to make is that it is Philip the sixth that Edward fought against, not Philip the fourth.

I hope that you could be able to take a loan by pledging land to different countries. As such, you can give to Teutonic the land in Masovia, and if you don't pay your loan the Teutonic could take your land.

I'm so hyped for eu5 holy jesus

Black Death video would be awesome I'd watch
