@@caiawlodarski5339 Well It May Not Be The Most Interesting, But My Personal Favourite Character Is Khagan Isaac Of Atryau, Last Remnant Of The Khazars, With A Relatively Small Realm You've Agreed To Be A Tributary Of The Cumans In Exchange For Protection From Your Neighbours, The Alans To The South And The Oghuz To The East.

@@caiawlodarski5339 I really like this idea!
Top least rewarding formable nations, such as scandinavia that gives very little, and is formable from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, all of which has tons of flavor.
The best thing about romania is that you can impale the ruler of the ottomans. They have a mission to control the capital of the ottomans, which results in the impalement of their sultan. (It kills them ingame)
That is indeed lovely to hear, might just pick up the game then. (In spite of the horrid Dragostea din tei puns...)
@@cristiancojocaru9821 funny thing is the song isn't even Romanian lel

That's why I got a toothpaste ad before the video started..
"Asian Space Marine"
The Imperial palace of the Emperor of Mankind is located in the Himalayas. In fact, its so large it IS the Himalayas.
The Emperor of man is a Gurkha confirmed?
Hate to be that guy, but mt. Everest is the temple holding the astronomicon and was where the primarchs were first created, the imperial palace is Europe, as in, the palace complex takes up ALL of europe
@@Taxrenn93 oh, is it now?
I thought it was all concentrated in one big complex?
@@nohaxmeh576 I may be mistaken, but I believe that they are two separate complexes on Terra.
Taxrenn93 You are mistaken, the Imperial Palace is built on the Himalayas because it is still the highest mountains on Terra at that time. It served as a symbol of his dominion on Terra.

@@gabor7524 cuz u gotta buy dharma DLC to really benefit from it

Is it recommended to form Sardinian-Piedmont at least twice per day?
It's a good substitute to brushing, I haven't felt my gums in years!
@@AlzaboHD Yet you insinuate that Sardinian-Piedmont has bad national ideas. You wash your filthy mouth!
9 out of 10 eu4 youtubers will tell you that
Lmao
1:40 it truly isn’t an Italian run if those notifications don’t pop up
Endgame tags cannot form Shan. Wiki is horribly outdated.
It's funny because it's even a requirement to form it in "formation"
So endgame tags shan't be forming Shan.
@@herogamer555 ..
Reality is often disappointing
@@acaperic359 (uses console commands) that is, it was

These are nice mini-guides and great overviews. But the real reason to watch your vids is the insane amount of puns. Nothing is too sacred, nothing is too bad, all puns are great puns. The Stan one really caught me off guard. Good job!
"Rhutenian territory is atleast not radioactive....Yet"
Fun fact:In Warhammer 40k,the Emperor's Palace is under the Himalayas.
So Space Marines are a good choice.
Me: Can you make a formable nations video that has Ukraine in it?
Alzabo: ok
Me:what rly
He forgot Sich Rada exists though. Big oof
Я россиянин и то знаю. Це зрада)

Казалось бы........ причём тут Украина?....
@@cyntdestroyer69xd He didnt include Ruthenia in any other videos about formable nations he made so i made a comment about it. And so he made this vid where Ruthenia is included lmao
Dammit it's pronounced as 'zaporozhye' not zaporozzi they're Ukrainian not Italian
Gorrrlami
*explosion* zaporozhie is spelled Zaporojie
@@vladislavcaptari2131it is spelled liked that in French. J means [hard i] in IPA.
Zaporizhzhia [Zaporižž'a] in Ukrainian and Zaporozhie [Zaporožie] in Russian
Roman Popyk I could have change my name to Тим Руй and I think you’ll still add on useless facts
EDIT : I spelled that as I saw fit. It is true however that I also speak French.
he will never be able to pronounce ж xd
lol im an eu4 player why would i ever brush my teeth twice a day?
Based
I fell out of love with this game around a year ago, but I still watch every video you put out on EU4. Your content is so entertaining. Great video as always!
1. Texas
Zaporzhieisn’t a hoard anymore, it’s government type is Sich Rada unique to Cossack nations
Does That Require Some DLC? I Think I Remember Being Forbidden From Using It In The Custom Nation.
@@rateeightx yes, the third Rome I believe, it adds said government and estate, and the cossack governments can only form from events
@@cryogensxu Hmm, Okay. So If You Don't Have Third Rome Is Zaporozhie Still A Horde? I Can't Check Right Now.
@@rateeightx yeh neither can I but perhaps wiki (if it's still relevant)
@@rateeightx Zaporozhie horde requires The Cossacks DLC, not Third Rome.
"Nepal has unpresidented amounts of military ideas in Asia" Well yes if you don't count half the daimyos and ignore the Manchu Tribes.
That moment when Rûm isn’t on the list. They have both a really nice colour and awesome ideas and can expand basically anywhere from their position in central anatolia and you can get the achievement ‘Heroes Welcome’ with Karaman (forming rûm and byzantium not existing). Anyway, really good list apart from rûm not being there!
Rum is on the top 10 strongest formable nations video! I wanted to include some that havn't already had a spotlight. I totally agree - Rum is amazing!
AlzaboHD Oh ok, must haven’t have watched that video yet! Interesting video nonetheless, keep up the good work.
If there isn't an achievement for taking over Rum as a pirate republic then I will go ham.
I did a Mongol Empire run as Mongolia recently, and it was one of my favourite games I’ve ever had in eu4!
Hey love your videos, an interesting fact is that if you have the Third Rome DLC installed all of the Russian minors have the Russian Principality mission tree that includes the possibility to culture shift to Ruthenian without having to do any of the usual culture shifting shenanigans if you conquer Kiev and the surrounding area. So you don't have to start as a released vassal and don't have to do it the hard culture shift way. Ryazan and Odoyev are both in a decent position to try this, during my Mass Production achievement run as Odoyev I made it my goal to both get the achievement and form Ruthenia as forming a nation does not break the achievement.
You forgot to mention that if you take Egypt as Andalusia you get a choice to relocate your capital to Cairo and become Shia.
You form what?
The changing into Shan worked until 1.27 IIRC
Yeah Malaya is really fun to play, glad to see them on the list. I’m gonna have to check out doing a game as number 10 on the list thou.
As Sardinia-Piedmont, if you find yourself having too much fun you can also go for the Carthago Delenda Est achievement
I just like a lot the way you talk. Glad I found this channel 😌👌
Malaya has the best color in the game.
Top 10 Arousing AlzaboHD Videos next, please.
all of them
Spicy-Hindu-Pirate-Republic... Say no more
Great video. Excellent writing. Gotta give this game a chance sometime.
I love you puns and jokes they’re just fit in so well
Zaporozihie is not a Hord! Its now a weird Cossack-Estate-Republik!
Glad you're still making videos after the utube issues buddy.
2:45 I think you can form Ruthenia if you culture swap as any nation that isn’t the starting Ukrainian cores. I did Ottomans into Revolutionary Ruthenia before and Also Muscovy into Ruthenia long long ago.
Forming Romania sounds fun, just got done getting SPQR as the Byzantines!!! Not so fun!!
7:22 The end-game tag check is more typically "having been an end-game tag" as opposed to "is an end-game tag". I haven't viewed all of the formation conditions. But for the ones I have, they are all like that.
Great ideas. The depth of this game is amazing.
Love this video and mention of Ukraine, but pronunciation of our country names hurt my ears
Ukraine is a part of Rus/Russia, it's always been - except the times of Poland invasion. Ukraine means "borderlands". All "Ukrainians" in reality are brainwashed South Russians, like the ones from Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar or Belgorod regions.
The only exception is "zapadentsy", neo-nazis from Galitsiya. They lived separated from Rus' for 700 years, so now they are not Russians like other "Ukrainians".
Please add modlist to description of your videos. I saw a comment about map mod being Ad Lucem but I think many people would want to know.
13:48 honestly wasn't expecting that but nice
9:17 funfact, andalusia is the name of a region in spain that occupies the same territory as the nation would have
right, isnt that why the nation is called andalusia
Always felt that Andalusian achievement should've been called the 'Un-Reconquista.' Awesome video by the way!
9:17 Smh didn't even mention the most powerful Iberian nation, Navarra!
What about Andorra?? 😂😂
@@alejandropalenciano2319 Andorra is too powerful for EU4.
@@aetu35 lol I didn´t notice till now that Andorra isn´t in the game
@@alejandropalenciano2319 Lmao, that powerful country sadly is out of EU4.
But you can bring it to existence with Beyond Typus or Lux in Tenebris. Both are good overhaul mods that add many more nations and more historical accuracy in general
@@aetu35 Sadly I don´t play EU4, I just watch videos. Basically I can´t afford it so I play moded AoC2 instead (where you can play as Andorra xD).
Thanks for the advice anyways
13:50
knew this was a reference to something...
realized.
OH NO
NOT EUROVISION
THATS MY WEAKNES-
*dissapears*
My guy really did Ukraine like that, you were spitting so much fire I thought their nuclear reactor might overheat.
Its 1 AM, this is a good video
Hearing alzabo sing Maya hee Maya hoo in such a serios tone made my day
I formed Ruthenia by culture converting Lithuania. It took a while, but it worked. Of course, this was a couple years ago. I'm not sure if it's possible since 3rd Rome.
Awesome video
That Stan bridge joke oh my god dude brilliant!
Underrated Channel
Me: form yuan dynasty
Computer : not so easy, tribe civil war spawn
Can you actually form the Yuan dynasty in EU4? Is that when you conquer China as Mongolia?
@@Seagull780 yes.
@@Seagull780 you can form it as a few other nations. Qirat is one
I am impressed of how many puns were made in this video... and how many I got
Z A P O R O S S I
That moment when you know how it originally sounds.
In reality it's "Ж", like Chinese "ZH" (or English "J" wihout "D").
I waited for this so long. Thank you sir, everything well explained. Your channel is proof how great EU4 is really are.
My favourite formable nation is Bharat. :)))
My Name is AlzaboHD and there is literally not a single piece of furniture in the room I'm in right now.
Congrats on 100k
Good stuff
You and quill18q are i think the only eu4 gamers on CZcams and the best possibile.
You should do ranking of all formable new world nations
Yeah, those Ruthenian-Ukrainian jokes are amazing!:))
15:48 _"For even spicier runs..."_
Alzabo: *pronounces Piedmont correctly*
Me: *cries manly tears of joy in French*
Playing poland, culture shifting and forming ruthenia (take the local noble and not the pu) while keeping your ideas is very powerful and unique, i'm doing it atm and i even got a pu on austria and therefor the emperorship
Obligatory like to support the channel and to keep the puns flowing.

What mod are you using for borders?
Nice video !
Wow, it has been a while old friend
Did you just make a toothpaste joke?....
You’re a genius.
Don't know if its possible in EU4 but in EU3 i loved forming Gotland and making my own colonial/trade empire and turning it Into essentially an Island sized city state.
Hmm... I might contest the "strongest trading nation outside of Europe". Canada has very strong trade ideas, high value trade goods (at least when fur increases in value), and the ability to draw much of the wealth of North America to the St. Lawrence trade node, I have seen a huge trade income come from Canada, especially if they expand south into the tobacco and cotton rich areas.
1. Mongols are broken by enforced moving capitol to Asia. It is economy killer for eauropean horde.
2. To make Malaya even richer, move capitol to Australia and turn everything to trade companies. Even more merchants? Not a problem :)
And starting as Madyas is a good option too - hindu republic and insane insane really insane navy.
3. The easiest way to Ruthenia is culture shift from Lithuania. Probably everyone does it anyway as Baltic culture group is so small compared to east slavic
4. Where is Rajputana on the list I ask :)
The Brits outraced me to Australia, I only got Tiwi and yolungu, does that still viable?
I love that you mentioned Madyas here.
Yuan is totally worth playing for it's great color, but I also recommend losing the mandate of heaven as quickly as possible.
“re-reconquista”
“jihad their way across”
very nice lmao

2. Malaya - 15:12
1. Mongol Empire - 17:21
The only reason I managed to get my African Power achievement as Kongo is because Granada somehow formed Andalusia and ate both Castile and Portugal, leaving me to colonize most of West Africa. AI is truly an ally sometimes.
Do a top 10 about the best nation color :p
Sardinia Piedmont wins imo! This is a fun idea haha
@@AlzaboHD Personnaly i prefer the Rum blue but that's my preference :p
Hmm... What Nation Has Got A Glorious Shade Of Purple?
@@rateeightxMalaya for Imperial purple or sukhotai for some candy purple color i'd say (can't check the game atm)
@@rateeightx I believe Aachen also has a purple shade iirc!
What map mods are you using? Game looks gorgeous
I tried the palembang strategy and just gonna say before the 16th century not only do i have flintlock muskets unlocked i'd may or may not have conquer the coast of china,egypt,parts of california,japan,and the entirety of south africa with only monopolised trade and piracy
There's another Andalusia achievement for forming it as Mzab, Touggourt, or Djerid - something I failed horribly to do when trying to combine this with Third Way.
Mongol Empire has a hidden modifier "Wreck Your Economy" if you have a European capital. Or rather *had* a European capital. I hope you didn't rely on trade companies to pay down that territory corruption! Before 1.28, it was at least a temporary modifier since ou could just move your cap back (but your TC land would still get the same 5 years of zero Goods Produced as if you'd removed it manually), but with the new cap movement restrictions, re-forming the Mongol Empire as, say, the Great Horde is a terrible, _terrible_ idea.
What graphical mods are you using? It looks amazing.

Little Tip about Savoy, Milan is old and has no heir, you can if they dont marry burgundy or another big nation marry them and get a Savoia on the throne, wich leads to a republic switch but with a restore monarchy CB, if you force Milan back to a monarchy your ruler who became president will now be ruler again, no heir and ripe to be throne claimed after the truce ends, or you can wait and see if they spread your dynasty or sometimes even become your partner diplomatically.
#9 the russian minors have a mission to change their primary culture to ruthenian. Since they also get missions to get the requiered provinces they are a very good candidate to form it
Please put the mods you use in the description
Hmm. Your Inclusion Of Malaya Has Given Me An Idea For A Champa To Malaya (I Think That's Possible, Since Cham Is In The Malay Culture Group, Although I Can't Check Right Now) Game, Fleeing Your Homeland Due To Aggressive Neighbours, South Into The Isles (Most Likely Borneo To Start), Uniting The Peoples Of Said Isles, And Then Returning To Take Revenge On Your Conquerors Sounds Fun. Weather You Flee Via No CBing Some Nation In The Archipalego, Or By Rushing A Colonist It Sounds Cool, Although No CBing'd Probably Be Easier, It May Be Harder As Well.
I've watched this video 4 times now, and this is the first time I caught that Stan joke
