That Time I Broke A WORLD RECORD In Europa Universalis: IV 

Let me know if you want to see more videos like this!

i give it 2 week until someone beats that record now

I thought your greatest achievement in life was making fun of Laith

Two years, two months and thirty seconds. Gotta be precise!

You'll eventually pick up that diploma, we believe in you.

what did you graduate with a degree in? i'm just curious lol

Petition to get Hawk to change name to Hawk Tuah Eu4

Light mode, how could you, it burns us! Man absolute throw back with the old mercs and estates, only way to throw back even harder is to have missions be decisions.

The greatest achievement of hawk is getting this handsome mustache

I think this is the patch I exploited condottieri by offering them to Otto as Byz (they'd take for no $), stationing them in Anatolia near their 3 forts, declaring war on the 1st, splitting up and moving them to the 3 forts. I'd usually get at least 2 forts sieged. I wonder if this would speed up your time with taking down Korea?

hahahha first 30 seconds :chefskiss:

those thumbnails have come a long way

Wow, congrats

Eu4 speedrun website is scuffed. Why does it show real time instead of in game time?

Your greatest achievement is using light mode RU-vid honestly

59 sec ago is crazy

Your greatest achievement was fighting the North Koreans

Here I thought your greatest achievement was hosting the world's greatest esports series

Ah, the classic estate system. Didn't know you got your start as a speedrunner, impressive work! Say what you want about Paradox and their DLC policies, but I am very happy we're no longer in the westernisation days of 1.17.

The Ashikaga Daimyo's mindset during this alternate timeline will be the kind of thing that scholars would spend the next millenia studying to try and figure out just how much of it was luck, how much of it was genius and how much of it was schizophrenia.

Your biggest achievement is look like a James Bond villain. Never cut your mustache, it is a life achievement.

dude your whole channel in 2021 was eu4 records... I was there

omg he uses light mode on youtube, the horror

Beautiful, now try to continue that save and become a great power

18:48 we have what 💀

At around 18:00 wouldn't it have been better for your main army to be on Iwami or Chickuzen because their ports share the sea tile with the Korean provinces, unlike Suo whose port is on the other coast. Then you could have moved troops by the ships docking instead of marching on & off.

Jeez who is rygelXVI and why is he so much better than everyone else?

I have personally watched at least 40 of your videos and I find it insulting that you don't consider that your greatest achievement

Get some sleep plz

I actually did the same strategy around 2018/19 (I had already gotten the achievement long before then so don't remember when) and beat it earlier in December 1446. - Same thing you did to Uesugi - I landed at Gyeongju, (I am guilty of the month cheese you also did) won a fight in same province on the 2nd day of the month and stack-wiped the Koreans at Hanseong on the 30th. - The dice rolls were for once in my favor when besieging Ganggye which I didn't focus on until after I landed enough troops and mercs. - Peaced out Korea in November and Ainu in December (both full annex). However, you had harder odds especially with your narrow defeat on landing on the peninsula, forgetting to attack Ainu earlier, and the other Daimyo helped me siege Hanseong and Ganggye (idk why the hell the Daimyo didn't help you with the latter fort). So congrats, I outpaced your record a long time ago but you had a much more challenging time than me so you get the win honestly. If I still had that file and cared to record it back then I would submit it to Speedrun. Sadly he is right, with all the changes they have made such as the current Ashikaga leader being a regent make it impossible to do it now. Ah the days with the simplistic estate system and the mercenary craziness. As Ashikaga it'll be the 1450's before you can do anything. A change I am glad about is Hawk moving away from AI voice, he's got a good guidance voice.

Can you explain why this is no longer possible, even if you roll back to previous patches and disable DLCs? I'm guessing it's because certain DLC features have been rolled into the base game on every patch, but which ones specifically make this no longer work?

I worry about not being efficient with time just playing this game. This would be a good way to kill me.

Loved that they imporved estates, but downgraded the mercenaries.

hey man a blooper video would be great! just an idea here

Would be way more fun to see you try to break your records.

Look at you boasting, writing “I” with a capital i
