Hoi4: MLP Colthage Earns its Stripes 

"Beakolini is invading Abyssinia!" Blood alone beats the hooves of history.

Hey Stakuyi, one of the devs here. Just FYI many of the zebrican nations do not have a specific focus tree, only a generic that was made for the zebrican nations. If you hit your like goal (which I think you will quite handily manage) I'd suggest your next look should be one of the following for the best, most up to date experience - Hippogriffia (communist path has posadism-like ideology, which is based on the real life theorist J. Posadas who believed that the only space faring entities would be from a socialist society and in EaW is based around heavy advancements in tech and nuclear power) Colthaginian Republic (there are many paths, the most 'well known' secret path leads to esoteric fascism and a society based around rebuilding the deceased equine god and allows you to do a choose your own adventure system and do some alchemy crafting with custom UIs for both. If you want to try this out : 1. Allow the Constitutionalists to revolt and switch to them. 2. Take the deal with the Militarists during the civil war. 3. After winning the first civil war, invite the Coltvans to negotiations through your focus tree (the negotiations will fail if you took the deal in step 2) 4. Coltva will declare war and you'll get an opportunity to switch to them. Do so. (Zarishat Zeirutid should be your leader at this point) 5. After winning the second civil war, allow the government to collapse, then wait. 6. Select "The Covenant" from the new list of countries in the Third Colthaginian Civil War (Recommended to turn on in game music before selecting this option for a unique song composed specifically for this nation) Chiropterra (slaver based society with elite troops in the style of the enclave, but with heavy reverence for the ingame deity 'Nightmare Moon' and a military-theocratic isolationist state.) Across all the possible routes (some of which are hidden), Chiropterra alone has over 500 focuses.

The lore for this series is disturbingly intriguing and detailed considering it's about cartoon ponies that use friendship as magic.

My little pony fandom is a dedicated fandom and it scares me

Fun fact: Zalathel Zarca's portrait has a 10% chance of having shades on at the start of the campaign.

I love the fact he states the reality of the MLP universe and it’s even better that a good bit of it has lore directly from the show but some stuff the dev’s added is down right genius

Zebrica is a new continent. So only a little number of countries on the North have focus trees

"Oh, so cute.. He's getting married!" "Welp, time to destroy everyone, I guess." I'm scared at how casually you said that.

watching the history expert struggle with names brings us joy

Watching someone new experiencing the brony ability to come up with horse puns is just *chef's kiss*

This is what i love abt eaw. The first game has you laughing at the mod, not taking it seriously. The second game has you bewildered as you start to pay attention to it and find it may be good, giving it compliments with asterisks. By the third game you are completely enthralled with the mod. You read each bit of text, you take things more seriously, and you no longer laugh at the mod for it’s premise, but with it, giving it it’s praises with no need to defend yourself when saying so.

Perhaps there is just something inherently fascinating about making pastel ponies and and animals in general fight each other in World Wars fashion.

I love how stakuyi goes from {Go go my zebra Hordes!!!} to {Are those giraffes?} 23:28

Fun Fact: If you join the faction with Chiropterra and allow Wingbardy to join in the war, after I think 180 days the war will conclude with your victory, giving you and Chiropterra your rightful lands on the conitnent, but also with a help of Wingbardy creating a legation city of Winggardden on the island of hippogriffs, having it's own focus tree and four developed paths. Fun Fun Fact: One of the paths is Pony MacAffey

So here's a little neat piece of MLP lore: hippogryphs can turn into seaponies. No wonder they had a mighty navy.

MORE, MOOORE, LET THE PONY FLOW IT WILL FUEL YOU, IT GIVES YOU THE FUEL YOU SO DESIRE

Hinda, Hind a old term for deer... They worked so hard for these terrible puns.

Stakuyi said “I wanna try this one later” it begins he will stop hating it.

There is so much in this mod, after seeing your first video I tried it, it’s massive, I tried the Barrad Magocracy, it has an insane story and a change to the mechanics I recommend trying it out

You should let your little dictator rule a mlp empire. She would probably do a good job

We need to keep liking and rewatching these MLP videos that he makes so we can slowly make him a bronny

"I wanna drop the f**king sun on you" "They learn so fast" - America

Petition for Stakuyi to play as Stalliongrad while using a maid outfit

And what a treat this video was! Loved seeing you geeking out about all the historical Carthage details. I can only imagine how much time and research/effort the writing team put into the lore and characters here. To say nothing of the unique models, or new game mechanics, or the hundreds of gorgeous artworks...

The mlp fandom is so dedicated and i respected it

You are quickly discovering that you cannot make like goals with the Equestria at War community. We do not stop.

I have no idea how to feel about this mod. On one hand it's an extremely complex and developed mod, which runs extremely well (from what I've seen and played), but on the other hand, ponies. I think if you can get past the entire pony thing, this mod is probably the best out there.

Colthage can very quickly fall into pieces over and over and over with lots of cool trees

The series that just keeps giving! Looking forward to part 3, and it looks like one of the Devs gave some excellent suggestions as to what you could play next. I'd suggest the Barrad Magocracy if you love new systems and gameplay mechanics not found in the base game

5:26 Daww, pre-reformation Thorax! ...Stakuyi thought Thorax was scary and evil, didn't he?

I am greatly dissappointed that you did not go for Star Father. I am proud you managed to make this video amazing regardless.

I know just enough about MLP lore to make me worried about how much of this mod was made up and how much of it is actually canon.

Man Stakuyi just started spamming EaW content and im loving it The magic of friendship blesses you

The sheer amounts of content of this mod never ceases to amaze me. I mean yeah its ponies, but ignoring that, it's phenomenal. I tend to muck about in griffonia or zebrica when I fire up a game. Anybody gonna tell stakuyi about being able to play the NCR? Lol

I will strongly advice against going for the Dread League. I can recomend a few other nations in Griffonia. The Kingdom of Aquilia, the Barrad Magocracy, or one of the members of the River Coalition; Lake City/Bakara/Kingdom of Withenland/Nimbusia/River Republic

Oh man this has to be my favorite nation in EAW. There are just so many paths each with a good amount of content and an interesting story. Especially the ones after the thiird civil war.

I love this mod so much because there is so much content in the nation's and a lot of focus trees may seem small but depending on the nation they may have five other hidden focus trees with specific requirements.

Welcome to your new career Stakuyi. You are a MLP hoi4 youtuber now

Stakuyi should make a MLP watch-along series if this video gets 10k likes.

I mean, I'd like the video because I generally enjoy his struggle with the names, and this mod is insanely detailed. But the hug? "I don't know man, you've been seeming sus lately." Edit: Also, CAT.

The Sapa Llama name is a double pun, both on Dalai Lama and on Sapa Inca. xD

Having played Delanigo before: It's a default tree. the only thing the country has going for it, is the national spirit you can already see. That's it. It's sounds more unique than it is.

The devs mentioned possadist Hippogriffia, I think that would be hilarious for the next one!

In Zebrica many countries doesn't have special focus tree. Also Colthage can have 3 civil wars where there are pretty interesting lines. (but only when East win against constitutionist)

Play as Equestria defend against a max buff changeling

You know with how low he’s making these like goals I think he wants us to crush them in a day or two

Stakuyi need to play Escalation 84 submod for Equestria if he wants to play as NATO, Warsaw Pact, and the EU in an post-WW3 Isekai story

Zonicia should probably be more pronounced akin to Phoenizia, since its Carthage/Colthage

Your breakdowns make this immensely more enjoyable.

This is just thes best thing I've seen in a long time. Do not stop doing these videos they are hilarious and literally make me smile ear to ear. I think the bear episode was my favorite. But then again the changelings and the necessary nuking of the forest was also great.

*The anthem of Colthage:* Do a deer a fucking deer! Re *I'll drop the fucking sun!* Me a name I do not like! Fa *That's how far you will run!* So, concede or be destroyed! La, I'll laugh and laugh and cry! Ti, *It's made of drowning blood!* That will bring us back to Do, oh, oh, oh!

at this point, I feel like stakyui honestly enjoys playing this mod

Didn’t think I’d be watching pony hoi4 in 2023. Guess this year will be better.

You should do Equestria, you can take it some very interesting paths with the focus tree.

19:22 is probably the best summary for MLP I've ever heard

The Sapa llama INCAN TIBET WHY- WAIT CAUSE THEY'RE BOTH MOUNTAINOUS. I never knew I needed that

29:52 Unlike Benito, he suceeds in reforming the empire.

8:28 "Oh you better belive thats a crucifiction!"

The MLP mod has been thoroughly impressive

Llambet might actually be a peruvian incan reference. The Sapa Inca was the leader of the nation

Long time EaW player here, I would advise against playing nations in the lower 2/3 of Zebrica. That continent has only just been released and only "Northern Zebrica" so far has custom content with events and unique focus trees, etc. As for recommendations on nations to play, here are four: - Barrad Magocracy is all sorts of insanity (I'd google search for "how to get evil viira" it's a secret path) - Equestrian Civil war can have you corrupt your leader into a fanatical God Emperor (of either the sun or the moon, both have unique trees but I think Sun is more tyrannical and crazy) - Hippogriffia has many good paths, a fan favorite is communist Posada. (if you pick this, I'd probably read up on how to get Posada's "good ending" since it has the most content) - lastly, sadly this one won't make for good content since you JUST did Colthage, but the Colthage "Starfather Path" is by far the most batsh*t insane run in the entire mod. Even if you don't make a video on it, I _promise you_ it's an unforgettable campaign for so many reasons.

Hi Stakuyi, I have recently learned about the Sea People and I am confused. Could you talk about them if you haven't already?

stakuyi: "Holy crap you guys are relentless." You've got the Brony fandom jumping in onto your channel now, you bet your butt were relentless. XD

The memes always win my friend and watching you suffer through this mod is my favourite past time now

So Stakuyi what's your Ponysona? You've gone too deep there's no going back

Apparently, if you play as the dragons, Cynder, from Spyro, is an assignable person.

5:30 lovd how he picks the leading pacifist changeling to be called a piece of destruction lol

I found out MLP is in Hoi4 I am questioning why I'm existing in this moment presently

Still going to vote for the Barod Magocracy, which is unlike anything else.

Absolutely love how intricate this mod is!

Play Tobuck! Theres some really fun paths there.

CK3 is a great game for Stakuyi

Blink twice if they are holding you against your will.

I think he missed that Zonician is Phoenician with letters swapped lol

Liking for hugs and kisses from Thorax! I mean, how could I possibly turn that down?

Lore of Hoi4: MLP Colthage Earns its Stripes momentum 100

One of the thousand week Reich mod has a joke nation which is basically and homage to the my little pony mod and you control pony Lenin in Siberia it's really fun to play. We should try and get the mod played.

THIS TERRIFIES ME! WHAT THE HELL!!!! Why does this EXIST?! The My little pony fandom is on another level.

i would like to suggest playing as the minotaurs on the griffon continent

Ya know I think we should make the little dictator play as a lich- Because nightmare fuel

i feel like Mussolini would have made a much better pun if he was the leader of a moose faction and his name was mooseolini.

Bronies are like sharks. They smell blood in the water (for them ponies) and then they swarm!

"Ray i wanna drop the fucking sun on you"

If you like war you should try the Dread League. They go into one crazy war.

WERE OVER HALFWAY THERE

First Game: DESTROY THE FURRIES! Second Game: I kinda like this mod. And now the third one, the furry series begin! YOU WERE MEANT TO DESTROY THEME, NOT JOIN THEME!

"Its [insert country], but with [insert animal]!"

The "Legacy of the Storm King" makes me want to see someone make a thorough Girl Genius mod for HOI, Victoria, or the other one I forget the name of.

He forgot the cat ears. Again.

STALLIONGRAD! STALLIONGRAD!

you should definitely at some point do a Beakolini Campaign

Ok you got me off by surprise when you mentioned my nation 😂 Kurds 10:24

Honestly I probably have watched multiple of your videos years ago but that was a blur if anything recently I've been watching your videos a lot more and I usually lean towards shorter videos but I find myself easily binging 3 of your 30+ minute videos what I'm trying to say is I really enjoy your content keep it up ♥

Rally troops smash his defenses and click the like button! Another video we must have!

2 hours and closer to 2k likes of 6k, I love this community ❤️^^

Zebrica is mostly a mix of Asia and Africa

Relentless in our pony lust.

Baal Hamon gives us strength!

30:32 That's just Rogal Dorn
