At last I've got a clear explanation of how land battles work and also a very precious analysis on some aspect of the system. It's really a pitty Paradox don't give a good manual by the way I think it's unfair. The wiki is not so good about land battles. Normally I don't like watching tutorial on youtube it always a waste of time. And generally speaking a good manual is always better than a video. But your video is perfect. Much appreciated!! Make one for Naval battle now... I'm joking. Thank you.

i disagree.drilling is worth it.if u keep economy in check,also take decision of 40 percent increase speed to drilling ,the benefits are hugh.i always keep army on full maintenance all game.i must ,for rebels and wars,only navy i mothball in peace.

Rules: 1. 3:30 You can always move from an empty province to any other province 2. 3:41 You can always move to previous province; this won't exile your troops 3. 4:04 You can always move to a sea province 4. 4:18 You can move to any province up to *2 distance away* from return province 5. 6:28 You can always move into adjacent fort if in ZoC 6. 8:38 You can always move to/from friendly Zoc. The map can be misleading 7. 10:01 Occupied forts have no effect on yourself Rules 4, 5, 6, and notes e and f are the ones to remember. Try to not have 1 province thin ZoC walls Notes: a. 1:10 Types of provinces b. 1:40 Return province basics c. 2:54 or 5:26 Distance from return province extends into accessed countries d. 5:47 or 6:58 Rule 4 or 5 allows you to "ignore" forts on coasts if return province is the sea. Not sure how these are different e. 7:25 ZoC never crosses enemy borders, regardless of occupier f. 8:02 ZoC extends into neutral territory g. 9:30 Occupied forts do not have a friendly ZoC

13:27 where to build forts

Noticed how prices ever only increase and don't decrease if a currency appreciates in value? Weird huh

Is this outdated ?

You can do this with any migratory Totemist religion tribe of the Southern Great Plains in Teyah (Tejas / Tecas / Texas), the Plains & Aztec, Southern Lamanite, word for the land. Aztexoxi. Quetzal'cual'pa Tlexo'hual'pa Quetzalwa Was the proper & true term for Na-hua-tl Palenque Na-hua was of the Clovis people, the Inuit, or I'nui, of the same tongue as the Rappa Nui of Easter Island.

Not me doing Landfriede reform before reformation started 😭😭😭

Video was helpful with divisional designs in HOI 4 game. Thumb up. Wonder if the Paradox programmers ever went to a nation's military leadership and instructed them on how they are supposed to set up their divisions to best handle combat? The concept of designing what elements make up a division is not bad but claiming a certain number of these elements in certain portions to be better or not, is laughable. Divisions were designed for their use and purpose not "combat width". The German Order of Battle Infantry in World War 2 by George Nafziger lists hundreds of different divisional 'designs'. Designing a division to be made up of any unit type regardless of composition as long as its forms to a certain number (20, 40) is silly. Instead of having "Combat Width" they should have had "Divisional Mission" template sets. Not as many as in real life (most be tactical and not strategic) but at least more realistic.

Basically, this video only proves that the programmers of Paradox have no clue how naval warfare actually works, nor how to represent such battles in game. Regardless, the AI just sails around the seas and oceans with doom stacks The Programmers don't know how to program a working, multi-role navy AI. So, all this video is good for is multi-player games between humans who try to handle the wide range of mission a navy has to carry out. Which rarely happens as people use doom stacks as often.

A lot of talk, but I still don't know what garrison design and occupation policy combo is best. So, this video was a waste of my time.

It’s worth noting that absolutism is only worth it if you’re planning to expand. If you’ve pretty much set your borders by the age of absolutism and are looking to play tall, absolutism is a complete waste of time and actually hurts you

lol thanks, i was playing on philipines without a damn clue about any army or battle strategy. just make a bunch of troops and attack i also realized that forts can be a real pain in the ass in many cases by the way they influence regions nearby

I had my forts in Parma and Ferrara and now I understand how AI cheated to go between both of them straight into Firenze. Stupid zone of control. I thought I have built formidable defences but it turned out that by controlling Mantua and going straight into my Modena my enemies could beeline into my capital. That is so f* stupid.

Nahuatl is my favorite religion in this game. The most fun to play with. You're constantly out of the comfort zone because you need to keep sacrificing to please the gods. And after you finish reforming the religion, you are an unstoppable juggernaut.

The point with the IA running away didn't age well ... luckily.

Thank you, I sort of just winged but to be fair it went reasonably well.

ijjj

beside this video i wanna share my first shock experience in the game was when my units at my fort location and they die at out of the fort while fightning against ottomans. just get in man WTF??

I always like to pick quantity because you can field more, get more manpower and have a higher manpower pool! Great for every nation that is not focused on the colonial game and has a lot of wars to fight like muscowy or even the ottomans!

You know after 1700 hours in the game i still find tutorials to teach me stuff and give me new ideas to not be as bad as before! Many thanks =D

Is this still relevant?

iam still coming back to this video every year after i took a hiatus from the game. best explanation of the whole reformation mechanic, and still not outdated.good job remax! too bad u stoped doin eu4 vids

Make live action please

Man, i learned more with this video of hoi4 than in my 500 hours experience

MEIOU has come so far, someone really needs to make a new introduction to the mod like this

I did the test with the submarines vs battleships and the battleships got demolished

Garbage mechanics.

EU4 is not 450 bucks and art of war is still 20 bucks.

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for the very clear, concise, and accurate information!

Thank you very much for the tips about artillery! I wasn’t using them outside of sieges because of their price and they seemed useless in combat (in large numbers i mean). I didnt know theses guns would help my armies fight better !

Or u could block them in sea of marmara and get balkans 💀

Thanks. Brilliant. Please publish an update as small fine tuning has been introduced, especially with breakthrough.

did no one else see that 158 division encirclement

Just thank the devs that there is a fort system, it used to take a long, long, long time to seige down a big country as it took a year or more for every single province. Yes, at the beginning of the game, you could do it with one troop, but that made them much more vulnerable.

Still the best guide on how to crush the reformation. Simple, no Alt-F4 cheese like Red Hawk, no histrionics like Ludi, no self-aggrandizement like Budgetmonk. Just how to get 'er done.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current version of this game destroyed this tactic. In this video, domain levy and tax contributions by self-owned holdings were reduced by a maximum of 90% with any number of holdings above the limit; the current percentage of tax and levy contributions can be reduced by 100%. I ruined my India campaign :(

Lmao North Korea mode

Come back to us, we need you (Re)man!

"this is ADVANCED" "most people don't know what I know" OK dude, let's get on with it. Good vid though.

Great video! Can I ask, should light ships continuously be sent to where the game considers the the highest value to be, or should they be spread out?

Is his still how it works in HOI4 today?

Where's the link to the Kazan vs muscowy video?

millions shall submit to Rome billions even...

I don't play EU or even understand what even a half of modifiers does

six years later, still the best trade guide on the interwebs

Ca dough! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You can’t even pronounce it correctly! 😂😂😂😂 It’s Cad-o. 🙄🙄

RIP to useful slacken recruitment standards. You'll always give us manpower in our hearts.
