  • This is another video focused around Europa Universalis 4 and EU4 mechanics.
    This video is focused around map modes and which ones I personally feel not many players use but they should. Many of you have seen me use these map modes on my livestream which you can find here: / absolutehabibi
    The mod I use is called Illusionary Flat Political Mapmode v1.7, you can find it here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
    If you personally use these map modes a lot let me know down below in the comments!
    #eu4guide #eu4tips #eu4
    These tips are useful in both Singleplayer and multiplayer.
    This is another Absolute Habibi guide video.

    I like Trade Goods mapmode. It's kind of an overlap with Trade Value, but it's good to find valuable provinces you have or want that should be prioritized when deving and necessary to understand like 2/3 of your nation's income.

      I mostly played FPS games before I got into grand strategies. I played EU4 for months not knowing about the political mapmode, playing entire campaigns as Brandenburg and Hungary with nothing but terrain mapmode.

    One map mode that I found really useful too was the continent map mode. It tells you where you can and where you cant trade company and that is very useful in early game to get new merchants. For example as ottomans if you want a merchant from crimea trade node, you have to focus only the provinces that are NOT in eastern europe since those cannot be put in trade companies (so give those to your crimea vassal). You might need to take a country like circassia for your trade company instead because it is on another continent than your trade capital.

    Simple Terrain is great for easily finding mountainous areas to put down Forts. So this ends up on the same node as the Forts map mode so i can move between them.
    Instead of Trade Value I use Trade Goods, Development, and Trade Nodes modes to check the value of provinces.

  • @davidwilliams7552
    @davidwilliams7552 Před 2 lety +2

    It's not a map mode but something I think people neglect is the "strategic goods" screen in the ledger. It shows you who is the leading producer of each trade good and who is getting the trade bonuses. The trade bonuses are great but also being the leading producer of a good gives you +10% production of that good. The ledger tells you which goods you are close to gaining dominance on.

    I just recently discovered that in the state edict macro menu there is an option which shows you each trade company investment and marks the states where they can be built an where they already are on the map. It's a huge blessing.

  • @bazerger6258
    @bazerger6258 Před rokem

    I don't see the trade value one as that big a deal, it just shows "Trade Value", that's basically just production income potential, the other half of it goes into the trade network, which you need "Trade Power" to obtain. Taking a high trade power node can raise your share of all "Trade Value" you can obtain for yourself within that trade node.
    Your map for example, Aix is shown as dark red, that's a center of trade with a river, the potentially strongest trade power province in the Genoa trade node.
    "Trade Value" refers to the value called "Trade Value" on the province view, it's not an evaluation of the potential value the province has for trade overall.
