WHY WOULD ANYONE CLICK THIS in EU4? 

I think Random New World could be really intriguing if it were done right. Like playing as a European coloniser and instead of immediately having a meta "ok so Florida is here, Brazil is here, etc." you truly are exploring a new world for the first time and have no idea what it's going to be like

I only play with this. Eu5 is going to be unplayable if they don't have this button

Randomized New Worlds can be pretty crazy sometimes. It's super rare and you need to set high chance for fantasy nations, but you can actually get things like Norse Vikings or High American nations sometimes, which would go for a really cool playthough idea, I think.

I did it once for the achievement "As a native in Random New World, explore the entire new world."

I did this once coupled with the custom nation feature and larped as Atlanteans. It was pretty fun campaign.

So, as someone who bought this game because of you and Hawk, and who spent 300 hours in the new world because I'm a Canuck and too proud to admit defeat to the Spanish, allow me to explain how Tribal dev works in simple terms. Every month, you gain tribal dev randomly in one or more of your three types (Admin, Diplo, Mil. obviously) The amount you gain is modified by any modifiers you have (building that grants it, Federation policy that grants more, government policy that grants more, or grazing in tribal land that isn't yours - this is the biggest modifier you can get, so you're encouraged to migrate in the lands of other tribes, which gives them a CB) When you swap to settled tribe, you can settle your tribal development. You can choose to settle it in either multiple provinces to own more land, or you can choose to dump it all into one province. In the meantime, when you aren't settled, your tribal dev travels with you and becomes the dev value of whatever tile you occupy. If you swap to horde without spending your tribal dev by settling, you lose all of it. You can still go horde if you settle less than two cities after swapping to settled tribe, meaning you can dump all of your dev into the two best provinces you own, then swap over, if you like. Hope this helps.

I actually honestly love the feature. Nothing better than playing multiplayer with your friends, everyone one a colonial nation and random hidden new world. The adventures we had man. Loved it

This is true madness. The things people are expected to do for 200k... At this rate Laith will get stuck at 199k and think "maybe another Tiwi run..."

I want live footage of laith OILING UP Uncensored

Excuse me WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT this is one of the most fun mechanics in the game, playing as a native in random new world is something I find myself so frequently coming back to

I really love the idea of randomly generated New Worlds. I understand why some people might not like it, but the idea of sailing west to find a genuine New World is just awesome

I always play with a random new world. It adds an extra sense of newness every game, also in games where I don't play colonial at all. The only issue is the weird loading restrictions, where you have to restart the game every time...

If I am using random new world I cycle through until I get the one that actually has more land than base continents. There is also a mod(s) called "Random New World Improvements(Updated)" that make it much more logical and fair. It's only fun as a colonizer and not as a native since most of the time the landmasses aren't connected.

Bro hasn't got a Haircut since the random new world button came out

Every time i play with random new world, i just get disapointed by how small the new world becomes. Often you'll end up with 200-300 provinces when the normal new world is over 700 provinces. Theres also the fact that the trade zones and colonial areas become absolutely massive.

I mean I'd watch a part 2. Just one thing, you can play as exiled crusader states, vinland and other "fantasy" states which sometimes pop up in the RNW which are probably more fun than just Random Tribe #7 xD

I swear this is the most cursed part of this game. If you click this button everything just seems to wrong or be off. I don't think this is supposed to be used at all.

Laith looks like a 17th century parilament member if he had white hair

Random new world is one of my favorite things when I played the game. a lot more interesting when you're actually exploring something you don't know the shape of already.

Random ideas are sooo bad in RNW... Even if some tag generates a good set, it will still have at least couple of stinkers like "+2,5% more balls in yo mouth". Fortunately, RNW is a perfect reason to use second least used feature of EU4 - custom nations.

*FINALLY* I have been waiting for some of my Paradox-Gobli... I mean content creators to cover this feature.

18:30 if you selected the "trading with foreigners" government reform after forming the federation you'd settled all tribal provinces and gained tech from castille iirc.

I love how you got your horde hive mind near the end and could see the old world steppe. Map dissemination is weird.

I've only played it once. There was a tiny island in the north Atlantic, while all the rest of the new world was somwehere next to Australia. Never again.

Oh man, you have great hair. And holy moly, somebody else tries this forgotten option :)

Random New World is something that I've enjoyed a few times while playing EU4. Made a custom Angevin Empire one time before you could actually make it and had a fun colonial game with that. Got some interesting landmasses to explore that time.

I really hope EU5 actually uses all the potential that could come with this. Making mission trees or whatever they have from the ground up be able to adapt to random new world.

I didn't even know new world was THE New World and not a new world

I don't know if you figured this out or not, but the trade node probably wasn't broken. I did a campaign like this as well and I found out that as you discover new nodes they connect to each other, revealing only after the fact which and where trade flows

This was a feature I was really excited for. The execution could have been better but as an idea it improves the game immeasurably. Playing EU2 as a kid I learned a lot of geography through the game (I remember playing with an atlas on my lap). But as an experienced player on EU4 you know where everything is and can make a dash straight for the prime new world spots- this gives the human a big unfair advantage and ruins the feel of the game. A random new world creates a level playing field and adds the mystery to exploration again.

I actually remember being really excited to get the DLC for this feature and being excited to use it. Not being able to load saves is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I never dared to press "random new world", but you madman did it for us sane people! Thank you!

Sometimes you get neat things with it and it's pretty cool other times you get massive wall of land and it's weird

I love the idea of this feature, but the generated continents are always wispy, unnatural shapes, and they feel small. The terrain generation needs serious improvement.

The only functional use I've ever had with Random New World (not for fun) was getting land further west. I wanted to get to the new world first as Japan but without having to go through Kamchatka->Alaska, and the randomizer gave me a new world where EVERYTHING was far to the west. I managed to get vital continental provinces on both sides of the New World before I finally managed to find Portugal who had claimed a big 6 province or so island for themselves near the Azores. I don't know if I would've managed to cut off the Euros completely because 1.35 dropped so I just restarted the Japan campaign (I don't pay attention to DLC news, didn't know it had a Japan update)

Laith is one of the few channels that have me checking to make sure im subscribed. Amazing content has gotten me to give way too much money to paradox

It cam actually be pretty fun with certain mods that change/add some new stuff into it. Recently got into playing it more often and the freshness of gameplay is nice.

I played quite a few games with this about 2018-2019, but yeah its kinda weird and not tuned. I just liked the idea of discovering a completly unknown new world

My First Ever Game As Byzantium Was With This Enabled, It Was Also My First Ever Game Period, You Can Imagine How It Went...

Looks like the bug still exists where when you do random New world trade flow does not show up properly on new nodes

My mom walked by and said "who is that" and then "he's so handsome". Feel proud of yourself!

You should make a second part, this is fun.

Random New World is probably my favorite feature that did not get the love it deserved when it first came out. Glad you played through it

I wanna see more of this now you're a horde!

The moment when growing out your hair that you just have to get through.

I sometimes enjoy using random new world with a mod that randomizes the whole world

It's really obvious it's been a long time since you've played as a new world country lol. Reminds me of the first time I tried and didn't understand how federations and settling land worked at all.

The trade node is not actually an end node. It's just that connections are not shown on the map, so you have to look on node itself to see where trade goes

LAITH when forming the federations, usually after you form them you pick the "trade with foreigners" reform to settle all tribal land instantly.

there definitely has to be more of this!

Can't wait for this to become a 3 part series where Laith conquers China

Yes we need a part two, REVERSE COLONIZATION.

I've accidently pressed the button far too many times

I actually like rnw from time to time. Sure some stuff gets wonky but i like to explore those worlds. And at times the province names are hillarious

laith i just had the worst idea A to Z but the random new world tags

Random New World used to be much, much worse, back when the new world was actually procedurally generated. At least the pre-made tiles look good.

Random new world is pretty fun when combined with mods that make their generation better.

00:08 Don't worry Laith, I'm right there with you.

Would be cool if you could randomize the nations of the New World with the preexisting Americas landmass.

I actually had one excellent randomized new world back when it came out; it spawned 3 high american nations, in this cool like, trio of continents. It was so sick I ended up picking one of them to play. But it's so hard to find a good generation. The problem was the lack of believable new worlds geographically vs what feels like a very balanced western hemisphere

You get to see Asia and the steppes by becomeling a horde for some reason

I would like this to be continued

Random New World isn't really for starting in the new world, it's for randomizing the discovery aspect for playing an European nation. I mean, it's really half-baked, but if they improved it for EU5, it'd be real good.

i played RNW for the first time a week ago and it was a lot of fun until my game crashed because it generated provinces that do not exist so when the AI annexed another AI that held the province it locked me out of the rest of my campaign :(

Randomize Old World would be an amazing mechanic.

This is some of the greatest gameplay I’ve ever seen.

Part 2! Sunset invasion!

I long for the day where we get a Laith video with a sane protagonist.

Feel like we go through laith relearning tribe nechanics every single time

I love Random New World, easily one of the most neglected features, but it adds a lot of replayability.

Unironically looks like it could be fun if it was given more flavour and features

You should continue this adventure

that new world looks like an oversised tasmania lmao

I remember when I first attempted a randomized new world. Ended up with a gigantic Falklands (I kid you not. The random new world was the Falklands at the size of the American Continents)

I love Random New World, especially with fantasy nations. The only downside is what it locks you out of.

What we really need for EU5 is a Random Old World button.

This is such a cool feature

like the new hair laith

love the hair btw

why is the audio so quiet did i break my earphones

The most fun games I have had are with random new world, the issue is that its broken. Terrain, goods produced and development are like metal cutlery thrown into a blender, trade nodes turn into a rat king tangle and alot of the native AI gets broken and stuck. I don't know how much love Eu5 will give random new world, if any, but if they add more achivements and a little more love to the bugs then I will play with nothing but new world everytime.

Part 2 of pan-new world against the old world when?

Man, Tasmania got swole

Im only 21 and played eu4 before this was added, damn

RNW is only so bad because it's implemented poorly with shitty sized states and broken trade nodes, but the concept is really fun, I enjoy playing with it on. There was a mod that used to mostly fix it but idk if it's still maintained.

Its underrated, but they should make it so that the worlds are a lot more continental rather than scattered islands.

This feature actually might tempt me into getting eu4...

Bro I love this feature

I've had it on in a majority of my games.

At least you didn't get the straight line random new world. its so weird.

I used this feature once. As a result, instead of the New World, I generated a small ball the size of Ireland. A great new world. But I saw the high Americans and Scandinavian pagans.

I think the only good think about is to play as Portugal and explore unlimited randomlly generated new world.

It would be nice if they added monuments from Leviathan to RNW. But they won't.

Need episode 2

RNW is quite good but just too random. Some parameters to change it to our will would be great. And the fact that you can't generate it in chain and you have to quit and restart to regenerate is horrible.

I clicked it once. It just deleated the new world, nothing there. Tiny island in the south.

There are many ways to make the random new world fun

Honestly i'd click this button and play as Portugal or england or castile, and just RP as if i just found a brand new world. It's very fun

I would use random new world all the time if it guaranteed the same amount of colonies as the Americas and if trade didn't get completely destroyed

There are or at least there used to be mods for better random new world generation. But still had the issues of being a native in a random new world.
