That Texas part was pure oil

I couldn't understand a single word you said while showcasing Texas.

Ad for a bad game ends at 1:58

Has montezuma in thumbnail Doesn’t talk about Aztecs

It's so weird that I don't hear ISP's voice after the Ironside intro

>And if you're latvian, this is about as relevant as you're going to get kek

I think Inca is very underrated due to two things: their isolation from colonizers, and their ease of consolidation of a whole continent for themselves. If you can overcome the tech disadvantage, it’s game over imo.

He did it. The crazy man did it. He blessed the rains down in Africa.

"with a competent player at the helm" aight, i'm boutta head out"

Thank god for your texan accent

If Ulm isn't here boi I'm gonna be mad Edit: well I'm now a mad boi

More content coming soon! A lot more content, actually. Also discord will be up (hopefully) by the end of the year. Check back later this weekend for more EU4 guides! What videos would y'all like to see in the future? Let me know!

Top 10 Most Underrated EU4 Channels 1) AlzaboHD

I’ve seen games where Hormuz does pretty good, conquering most of the Arabian peninsula, the horn of Africa, and even some of Persia.

"obtaining the world cu- I mean world conquest as croatia" Good job proffesional French person.

Most overrated nations: #1: Caddo

Correction on Hormuz: They do NOT start as a republic as was stated, they start as a Plutocratic Monarchy. You can see the Legitimacy mechanic in the gameplay when he's on Hormuz, not a republic.

I enjoy playing as Scotland. Scotland is very underrated because the AI always eats Scotland in 50 years or so, but I have played as Scotland many times, and you can easily conquer all of Ireland in 10 years or less, with no big aggressive expansion penalty. Then you’ll have around 180-200 development, and can take on England with no problems.

Keep up the good videos man. I recently started playing EU4 mostly because of you, i still struggle with the game but your videos always show what is possible in EU4 and i just wanna learn how to play. Your Content is amazing, please more

Good quality as always... the texas accent was over the top, just amazing !!! keep up the good work

it's not an answer to your question but I'd love to watch some more CK2 story telling kind of a video

Man I don't know how you do it... But in every single one of your videos I die laughing with your jokes... Maybe it's just me but I think you are a genuinely funny guy!

Hisn Kayfa is an interesting pick to attempt creating the turkish Rum with, after a culture shift. The Ayyubid ideas speak of a rising eagle, and the whole flavor text can also easily fit Rum if you don't swap ideas on formation.

As of the Manchu update I think Oirat deserves a mention because the Tumu Crisis event chain makes it possible to obliterate Ming in one war and then watch them crumble

Can I get a nine-touple 'Howdy, partner' for our darn good ol' rattlesnake Alzubya ? 🤠👍

People who couldn’t understand the Texas part are a bit confused In the south we call that a slight accident

Kazan is my favorite horde in the game for all the reasons you listed. So much power and potential

I literaly stopped the video and rushed for the like button after the first words of texan accent!🤣🤣🤣 Surprised to find you were from Texas!

Another great listicle! I love these things

By far the most interesting Video of your lists so far!!! I'd really like seeing another one. It's just so interesting and I concider to play all of them (exept of Dithmarschen xD) Edit: ok, now ive tried Ragusa 3 times never getting allies to get into good wars, i would really appreciate a few more opening moves and possible strats

Thanks for a video, I was nearly going to sleep and then you pop out

I'd like more top ten like this because they're awesome!

Hey, thanks for the shout out in the first one. I’ve always wanted to become a Baltic blob playing Latvia!

Very nice seeing Kurland mentioned. Riga is also nice trade country that may rival even Sweden in terms of trade power... until you are stomped by Denmark, Muscovy, Lithuania, Sweden, Novgorod and... well yeah. Very nice watching your eu4 videos and im sure other games you cover will be as entertaining.

Nice list

I personally feel like Kazan is not underestimated by a lot of the EU4 community. Same way Oda is not underestimated by the community for it's national ideas. Still a great list and video as always. Keep up the great content.

Good job Alzabo. As for Butua, became my favourite sub-saharan nation on my return from the EU4 lan party this year. So easy to gobble whole Africa unopposed.

Pronounced Hisn Kayfa different every time. Loved it.

Nice intro, your video about EU4 still very good

ngl, your texan accent gave me big time ASMR

Great video bro. You should do more accents :D

You didn't mention that Kazan starts with a gold province! That helps a ton in early stages of the game, making you much stronger than the other hordes and able to take on Muscovy that much easier.

In My Butua Game, Sofala Somehow Gained Independence Fairly Early On, So I Was Able To Seize The Coast And Actually Expand Better Without Needing To Betray Kilwa!

Aiight just went down to the comment section cause of your Texan accent... Holy cow ye' killed it partnah'!

We will rise again

I think Naples is underrated. Even starting under a PU and having to expand on Papal and HRE lands, I think it's pretty strong and easy to get some strong allies and first expand. I was going for a chill game and ended up forming Rome for the first time with them, one of my best campaigns ever

Nice video, made me think of playing Korea :)

A couple of underrated ones I would put forth are Madurai (3 province state in South India) and Lan Xang (though I feel like people know more so how powerful Lan Xang can be since they have more potential from the very start of the game.

When you started doing the Texan accent I immediately thought of Oscar from the office doing his Savannah accent.

Naugar is underrated. I think. As naugar, you can expand by annexing dhundar and ally janpur. With other secondary Indian powers able to ally, an expantion to mewat or mewar (I forget) is very easy. Challenging, but fun.

I feel like Ethiopia should be talked about more, it's a lot better than many belive

How about a video on the top 10 nations you can import from ck2?

Finally a video! I understand that you put a lot of effort in your videos and they take a long time to make, but I wouldn’t mind more uploads :D

I hear that the oirat horde is now the best with the whole Tamun crisis event chain leading to a fairly god-like start.

7:47 oof

Can you please do a guide on the Komnenoi empire achievement or just trebizond in general that would be amazing :)

Great script, I very much liked the jokes and references

Not sure if it's actually underrated enough for this guide considering the nations you chose here but the formable nation of Nepal has insanely good militaristic ideas. Compared to some of those other nations Nepal is probably more well known which might explain its absence from this list, if it isn't that however it should definitely be on it. Another nation which is definitely underrated is Caddo in North America. The native ideas aren't unique or anything but Caddo is in a terrific position to really get going since they can also become Aztec(well Nahuatl) combining their native ideas with Nahuatl's permanent modifiers for some Iberian-esque colonial power to colonize the New World and push back the Europeans.

What about Songhai? They have some nice military ideas and can get an early Mali alliance, allowing Songhai to expand quickly to the point where it can take on Mali and take its Gold Mines

Navarra. It get's an early pu cb against Aragon, which in turn also gives Naples (don't forget to take Aragon Provinces to get their lib desire < 50). This easily won by making Castille your ally. Furthermore if you conquer the state to the north of you (I think it's called Labourd), then you'll get a pu cb against France as well. Call Castille to arms, have your Aragon and Naples help you out and attack when they are at war with burgundy to make it even eaiser. Now it's backstab time on Castille.

Carib. It’s awesome migrating and creating a trade juggernaut based in Cuba

that world cup joke killed me lmfao

Good video

Greetings from Riga! :D Kurland is defs not overlooked in my part of the world.

Speaking as a Texan, I have robbed myself of the ability to ever hear again because of your accent. I don't regret it.

You're back!

Love this videos, but also miss bed time satanic eunuch tales. Will certainly try some of these civs 👌

Great. Thanks.

Dunno if Oda is very known, but damn that are some overpowered military focused ideas. :)

Jaunpur and Mazandaran were extremely fun to play as when i tried them.

Other nation: Mamluks With the right man, Mamluks can overpower the Ottomans early and overthrow the Rûm State and form their OWN Rûm State, the Sultanate of Rum. And it is glorious

Dithmarschen is were my heart is. Beheading the nobility 400 years early feels so good.

I've actually played Hormuz both before and after it got swole, and honestly it's a super fun campaign either way. I like playing in the middle east in general, so I guess my opinion is a bit skewed, but y'know. Hormuz is good, play Hormuz right now

I was dying with your Texas, lol. Didn't see that coming.

Great video, gg.

Sorry if it was mentioned already. Pskov has fantastic economic ideas with 20% goods produced ambition and very solid trade ideas.

good job

Not sure if it's cheating to mention a nation from another one of your videos but I really like Madyas. Hindu Republic is really fun, it lets you be a lot more flexible and impulsive with your deity choice. It's really nice to be able to just turn on conversion, convert some provinces and then not have to worry about being stuck with that god for decades because you can just switch out your ruler a couple years later if you want. Plus being a republic means you can click a button and go pirate. Between your enhanced pirate navy and all of the money you make plundering China and the rest of Southeast Asia the nation can easily stomp its neighbors and take over all of the spice islands for even more money. It's also well placed to go colonize the west coast of the new world too. Maybe it's just that pirates are OP but I felt absolutely untouchable in my Madyas campaign.

who else thought they were watching isp when ironside intro showed up?

Kazan is my favorite nation nice u ranked it as first

You have persuaded me to revisit Korea post-Manchu Update.

Spot on Alzabo, you nailed pretty much every stereotype that Korea has, down to Starcraft and fried chicken meme. Either you are Korean yourself, or you know too much about us. (How in the world do you know 불닭볶음면? [Reference 9:23 after Kimchi part]) 그리고 한국이 과소평과된 나라였군요. 스팀에서 한국의 national idea를 약하게 만드는 모드까지 있어서 상당히 강하게 평되는 나라인줄 알았습니다 ㅋㅋㅋ. 이제 해외 친구들과 EU4멀티할때 굳이 따른나라 픽 안해도 되겠네요. (Trans: And I didn't know Korea was underrated nation. I always thought that Steam mods downsizing Korean national ideas was a proof of contrary kkk. Now I can pick Korean without feeling guilty when playing with international friends.)

interesting playthrough img from Kazan where you take out Lithuania but not Muscovy.

I just knew Butua was making the list

mission lee was a wide miss for me, but other than that, love the humor, keep it up.

Came back to this video just to hear the Texas bit again, can confirm, every Texan sounds like that on the daily 🙃

I totally agree with Kazan!! Fantastic nation! Just to mention all Golden Horde achievement guides start with "choose Great Horde", what is the obvious nonsense with Kazan nearby. Also shame no Mewar here.

I've always had a soft spot for Cologne. A little two province minor theocracy in the HRE. Mostly because I'm an idiot who when he first played EU3 chose the tiny one province minor of Cologne for his first time playing.

First thing I did when Dithmarschen was released was to form the Revolutionary Peasants Republic of Greater Germany, they have amazing ideas. To bad Paradox released their Achivements after my run >.

the only people i have heard say raid shadow legends is popular, is the adverts for raid shadow legends lol.

Smolensk, The Living Embodyment of the Cannon !! An extremely Unique National idea set, One of the Best looking flags in the game, and a Powerful candidate to form Ruthenia (another Underrated Nation)

pskov also starts with 4 merchants and has insanely good economic ideas

I consider the Krimirien Tarter slidly underated, there satring position in the allows them to have a good tradeing empire, if the Tarterrs can take the entire Islan, if thay overcome thire enichel chalanges thay able to form the golden horde, Ukaine, and Russa. Ivon the tarebele is said to be one of them, but than agen he is Ivon

RNJesus.. that was nice. I give you 5/7 to that perfect joke :D

This Texan approves of the Texan entry

I couldn't stop laughing at the Texas part hahaha

Kedah is awesome though, always get pressure from British and Ayutthaya but still stand as british's vassal while his neighbours already occupied by dutch and british itself from 1500 to 1900

8:08 why Uganda when you have wakanda XD couldn't resist
