  • It has been *way* too long since we played the "King of Grand Strategy" -- so we're back with Croatia, a country that was added in patch 1.30 (Emperor) and is in a tricky position: a junior member of a Personal Union with Hungary, and with the looming threat of the Ottomans.

    It has been nearly a year since the end of our last EU4 campaign (Savory Savoy), which is just...wrong. Hopefully I haven't forgotten too many basics!
    P.S. Take a drink whenever I confuse Bohemia & Bavaria as well as Bosnia & Serbia during this series.

  • @justahelpfulcommenter2670

    So glad to see you playing eu4 again! Just some tips for you since your new to leviathan. Estates: keep it over 20 crown land and take the monarch points every time you can, take the loyalty for the estates and the adviser costs and loyalty from all. Development: admin dev is generally not great you only want to dev it when you have nothing else to spend admin on, diplo and mil dev are really strong even if it’s on a bad trade good since diplo dev increases production value and trade value in the trade node that it’s in making you more money long term and short term. Favors: I would strongly recommend that you curry favors to 100 with both Poland and Lithuania and maybe Bohemia too because at 100 favors you can place a member of your dynasty as their heir making it VERY easy to get strong PU’s! Anyway hope this helps and can’t wait to see you play more!

  • @nezumialcantara5169
    @nezumialcantara5169 Před 2 lety +2

    The start was quite bad. Hungary gets an event a few months into the game where they can choose between two options: either start a 0/0/0 regency council with Ladislaus as an heir (that most likely leads into a PU with Austria unless Ladislaus somehow dies before turning 15) or to elect 4/5/5 Janos Hunyadi as a ruler (which might make Hungary decline the Austrian union later and actually gives you some decent monarch points early on).
    Although with the support from the Turks you can beat Austria+Hungary quite handily, you'd rather have Austria friendly towards you so that you can gun to join the HRE.

    A fun little bug lets you start off by issuing two of the +1 points things to the estates, increase one province by 1 dev, then issue the third before selling titles. You end up gaining crownland from the sale of land, then you can get more by seizing land. It's a surprisingly good combo.

    Hi Quill, In the Estates tab the loyalty -5 click you were looking affects loyalty equilibrium. If you hover over the loyalty of each estate the current equilibrium is shown you should try to keep this number above 50 so that you will be able to seize crown land when loyalty reached 50 from each estate.

      I played the Iroquois in my first ever game of EUIV, back in 2014. The tribal stuff was _very_ different back then, and I'd only seen European countries played on CZcams. I was _so_ confused. Heh, heh.
      But it was fun. And when they changed the tribal mechanics, I played another tribe. (I can't remember which one.) That just really interests me. I haven't paid any attention to the latest DLC, because I've got so many _other_ games to play. But,... who knows? :)

      @@Bill_Garthright One of the main differences is with migratory tribes who can wander round the map eating up an area and then moving on (until they become "civilized"). Tribal development for these tribes moves with the tribe until they settle down. Tribal development is an automatic growth (dependent on choices made) each month and doesn't require expenditure of command points.

    32:10 Amen. Had to revert my Steam copy to to pre-Leviathan though, now I finally can enjoy this game again. I'm terrified of what an EUV will look like in the beginning, given my last hype about something Paradox did (which was Imperator). EUIV looks almost cute and timeless, but dusty and grainy, but I honestly was no fan of the overall look IR, CK3, and now Victoria were given. Maybe there's an uncanny valley for grand strategy graphics.

  • @gahlster
    @gahlster Před 2 lety +3

    I'd grab the three privileges that give +1 mana each, one for each category. I'd also look over the other privileges, going down close to 0 crownland is not that bad. If you have 1% you can sell titles for the same price as if you had 10% and when you have 0% sooner or later an event will trigger so you'll get some crownland back. It's not that hard to then get it up high and rewoke unnecessary in time for Absolutism.
    And wow, 0/0/0 sucks to start with, and even more so the fact you can't go and win an easy war and Show Strength(3*100 mana).
    edit: also, don't be afraid to abuse the Privilege that gives you five loans with 1% interest, thety are really dirt cheap

    No offense quill but you just need to relax. all those penalties are minor. dropping loyalty below 30 will give rebels SOMETIMES and more often than not they are 1-2K total troops. its when you are big and you start dropping them below 10% that the big guns come out. the penalties from low crownland are not that bad. take the extra monarch power and slowly sieze land.

    • @AngelicHunk
      @AngelicHunk Před 2 lety +4

      Yeah. It's meta to give privileges right at the start for +1 of each mana. If you wait until your crownland is higher, then (A) you've missed out on a ton of mana that you can never get back, and (B) you'll be much closer to the Age of Absolutism-when crownland really matters (for that sweet +15 max absolutism, etc.).

    in case you'd like a few pointers to help you with pronunciation:
    you can treat the J as a Y - this is why for instance Yugoslavia is written as Jugoslavija
    the I (capital letter i) pretty much sounds like how you say E in English (or like the i in "independence") - so for instance LIKA would sound like "leek+a", or even closer as "leak+a"
    The A is the a in "alphabet" or "alpha"
    the G is the g from "great" or "grate" or "gate"
    Hope it helps a little, and hope you have fun playing in this small corner of the world

    pronounciation tutorial :
    j = y
    c = ts
    all other mistakes are trivial so dont bother with them. And this tutorial you can use for all slavic languages and most other languages in eastern and central europe.
