Mer. I don't see yoh on Steam for a year and I see you on a CZcams Comment section xD
lol
the reform progress cost is definitely worth it to pu a big country
Ive grown accustomed to how much these mechanics break the game since you first started releasing these.
What scares me now is the fact you put them out weekly.
Omw to PU Russia in every single of my games now
you just broke the game. Well done.
Elective monarchy is actually the most op christian gov reform
Me without the DLC for it *cries in autocracy or feudal monarchy

you can accomplish a similar thing by royal marrying your desired dynasty (if youre in the right RM cycle) and combining with ur previous kill own ruler trick
crazy stuff. Always nice to see different ways of approaches and new techniques
Amazing content mate you def get my sub!. There is another way to get PUs that is not nearly as game breaking that is also worth mentioning (for those who want to keep your dynasty rather than switch it) and this applies to long term allies that you want to backstab. If you build your favour high enough (easy to do with long term allies) you can use said favour to insert a relative of your dyansty in their throne when they have no heir. Than simply break the alliance but maintain the royal marriage (high enough relations), and once your relative assumes power and also has no heir claim throne and go to war. I PU'd russia, a giant austria and UK this way in my Roman WC/Onefaith :)
A very reliable way to get the 10 PU achievement.
or pu swarm haha
Game breakingly good tactic you've found, well done sir
This shit is CRAZY bro, love it
This is .... Spectacular. You amaze me On Russia WC video,but this video is on a different level. Love it!
Thanks!
But... honestly I don't think that I ever did a Russia WC video... I did Russia Siberian Frontier Video like one year ago but... xD
@@thestudentYT Then I must be mistaken Your videos with someone else video. it have a same format like this. But this Video is great either way. You have my like,and Subscribe.
I am pleased to watch these videos. If I have been played normal games, I would use this mechanic. However, now I am interested only in covering map as Austria withouth offensive wars to get successful WC). So pitty, there are a lot of mechanics, which I see here, on this channel, I can't use for it). Incredibly good jobs!
The most underrated eu4 channel! The goat at breaking the game. I was here before you blew up
I didn't know that I blew up... xD
@@thestudentYT Haha, I meant in the future. Keep it up 👍🏻
You wild for this rn
This is awesome! Haha
revolutionary gameplay. love it
diplomatic ideas seems like a must for this campaign, the lowered impact on stability could save tons of admin points
Why that? I never had any truces except on Austria
@@thestudentYT i think its for the stab hit for having a royal marriage/canceling royal marriage
You definetly shouldn't cancel that Marriage by any means!!! Then you'll lose the claim in the Throne!
I guess he just meant royal marriage stab hit on declaring war can be reduced to 0 with diplomatic ideas
@@thestudentYT aye you get stab hit on declaring on nations that you have royal marriages with
you can stack diplo annex cost to -100 as provence. -25 ideas -20 quest -30 politces and priviliege -10 papal button and form habsburg tag to gain another -15
I know... I found this out and presented it in a video long time ago xD
If you're willing to TAG switch (only a few achievements care/block that), you can get to the cap of 0.1 dip per development as any starting nation via mission rewards (Sardinia Piedmont + someone I'm forgetting) and then taking ideas like Austria's or Britain's. Makes stuff like annexing 20,000 dev worth of subjects in 15 years or less possible.
Since you can stack score cost + dip annex earlier than admin efficiency, players have used this to post impressive WC times as non-hordes.
Its an incredibly well thought through tactic! Again i learned something about this game i play since 11 years. 😁
However, certain mission trees in combination with putting your dynasty on thrones for favours allows PU spam far sooner than going that far down in your government reforms. And for smaller PUs you want to feed german or italian land for example there is also the tactic of creating a vassal, forcing your dynasty on its throne (they ll always start with a weak claim heir), then release it by loosing a war on purpose and then claim throne.
Finally there is your rulers. You get random guys very often and as long you dont want to savescum alot, you ll have some pretty shitty guys more often than you want to. But the benefit still outshines this point tbh.
Yeah, my last video last week was about creating Personal Unions...
Another banger video! Definitely will use in future campaigns. :)
Quick aside, what is the music track you use starting at around 4:08 ? You’ve used it in other videos, but I’ve yet to find it on CZcams.
Do you mean this one?

Awesomeness
Thats so insane. You are Atwix' true heir
Cries in countries with locked first tier reform like Byz.
Love this trick but I don't think I'm going to use it too much except for the very big countries, still good to have this in one's repertoire tho
Very nice guide, and very very broken! x)
Incredible how you can just pick and chose dynasties on demand. Really also like how you trigger monarch changes constantly, making it possible that the subjects just get instantly integrated.
BTW! Ive never used this feature, but cant you always return cores without being in a war at the cost of -20 prestiege, instantly via diplomatic actions?
Yes but I would have returned that Provinces the Palatinate and not to Austria so...
In austria didn't hate you coudn't you sell the province for free? Austria has a core and it's in the culture group so they should accept it for zero ducats?
Maybe yes...
@@superfish1122 ahhh even more interesting!
I'm taking notes from both of you ;)
10/10 for those who are willing to wield this ring. I thought about making a vid about using the Dutch government to rapidly integrate PUs but this is just way beyond.
Excellent video mate. Bohemia are surely a great tag to do this because they start with an elective monarchy and get diplo annexation cost through missions right?
Sure
Wow this is game breaking. What are some perfect idea groups to go along with this strat?
Diplo, Adm, Influence, Quality
Why does this not have more views
Con Castilla puedes hacer uniones personales con Napoles, Aragón, Portugal, Austria/Borgoña e Inglaterra. Con este método puedes agregar a Francia a la lista 🤩.
Yo consegui varias veces francia e incluso rusia sin este metodo, unicamente tuve la suerte de q un habsburgo se metio en sus tronos
first comment and no no, im not gonna just click like and leave.
THE VIDEO STARTS NOW
Nice
This is amazing! Slightly off topic, but can you cheese Imperial Authority with all those ruler changes?
Yes but only if you have an heir when you chance ruler so you can never be the States General for more than one day
@@thestudentYT interesting.. thanks for the reply :)
This is why I love Mondays
Yeah happy Monday ;)
Atwix would be proud
Could be really good as Great Britain maybe, since it would be really easy to control who you border, you can get a lot of reform progress if you don't expand much more than the british isles to keep stated provinces low autonomy, and any expansion you do outside the british isles could be colonial/imperial conquests bordering non christian nations.
I can almost feel the diplo drain

The music is so epic it wants me to stop whatever the fuck i am doing and start up eu4
you would get 20 IA ... noice!... will try
Maybe useless additional info, but you can also do this with the unique Irish gov reform
Man who knew game was broken, discovers game to be even more broken than previously thought possible.
Can you combine this with the Danish Ratified Kalmar union reform? You'd have to fulfil the conditions for that reform, then willingly swap out of it (is that possible?), get all your desired PU's, and then swap back, it takes 100 extra reformprogress per cycle, but the rewards are massive.
In general, going inf/adm and forming SP/Austria/Spain seems good for reduced integration costs.
Yes the Danish Reform works fine and it wouldn't even cost any additional Reformprogress compared to the Generic Reforms Strategy with the Tier 6 States General
Look insane to pu france as bohemia after anexing burgundy
Bro's cooking
EU4: The Student vs Spiffing Brit when?
can you switch government type to get rid of reform? e.g. monarchy to republic and back to monarchy? Republics used to keep their PUs and I think switching gov type now returns all points
Maybe... I haven't tried but then you would still need to pay 4 Stability per Union on top of the 100 Reformprogress for switching to Republic and back to Monarchy right?
I didnt understoot wich governament reformens i need to my ruler get out and i choose a new one
Great strategy! Still works in 1.37. However not for all nations. For some countries the choose ruler event does trigger but for others it won't. For example Scotland & Castille I was not able to get it triggered. Do you know why?
It only triggers if the Statists were in Power before
@@thestudentYT Forget my previous comments if you saw them. You are totally right! I had to kill of the king first just to try it with commands. Thanks!!
Ok I'm literally speechless, this change all Europe games. Yet you have to get royal marriage and some powers never let them do it because bad relations or too many relations
But most of the cases they do if you break their rivalry and relations in a war before
or switching through tags you can pu all major powers just by missions )
And you think that would be easier? XD
really great topic
but something that cought me by suprise is how you sound exactly like Toto Wolff Mercedes F1 team principal.
Maybe because he is also German speaking? xD
But please be aware that Austrian and German is not the same ;)
Well, time to do this before it gets patched.
Atwix legacy? More like The Student Legacy.
Won't you lose the Personal Unions with negative relations when you switch out your ruler? Very important to have a high improve relations modifier.
This is an excellent strategy that will break open any Europe run. 200 reform progress is so easy to get these days with Pluto-Court.
That is why I also declared a new PU war BEFORE peacing out the old war (happened several times in the video)
Finally a good guide and not the trash atwix pu scheme . Also there is a trophy to get 5 pu
What Trophy?
@@thestudentYT achievement: atwix legacy
@@gabri-immortale Yeah but this is only for 10 PUs
Would the change of ruler strategy be viable for HRE Points farming as HRE Emperor too?
Yes
I've had issues where I can't keep tabs on nations who don't have heirs so I can try to PU them. Is there an easier way to see who doesn't have an heir or do you have to look manually from time to time and hope they are missing an heir?
There is actually an Message Icon (a green one) on the Top where the Alerts show off that is called "disputed successions" and it lists every christian nation without an heir so just need to hover over that from time to time
But also as I said in the Video you should definetly mark the most valueable possible PU Targets as Country of Intrest (left click on one of their Province, then right click on their Flag and the left click on that greyed out star showing up there)
And then you'll already get Messages on every interesting thing happening with them including new rulers and regencies...
But what I did even further is that I went to my Message settings and said that I wanted to get very detailed (every set to "on") Information on the dynasty and the Rulers of countries that I marked as countries of Interest so that I actually got a Pop-Up Message every Time one of my PU Targets got a new ruler or a Regency and then I could have a look if they had no heir as well or if I had to wait for the next Ruler/Regency
popcorn rdy
Now do this with Trebizont.
It does require luck though - you need to catch them without an heir when it is convenient for you.
If you want it any easier then your going to have to use the console.
3:20 yeah i finally got lotharingia formed in 1500 and i dont have those options elective monarch and stadholder estate.. my government tier 1 is burgundian state.. so im pretty sure i cant do this pu thing unless i get all the dlcs.. although i do have one on tier 2 called nobles electorate but i need aristocratic ideas to use it
But the Burgundian State thing was also added in Domination I think... anyways I could recommend to just wait on a sale of the Domination DLC as it won't cost much then and it was a really good DLC imo
@@thestudentYT i stopped buying after emperor.. i dont think all the dlcs are wortht he money.. maybe id buy if they were $1 each. i think i spent $30 for the game plus all the dlcs up to emperor... from what i gather if u bought full price every dlc at release date ud end up spending something like $500? its ridiculous.. when old games like fallout4 had a dlc it included huge new areas, tons of quests... 100s of hours of extra play for $10... paradox adds a few tiny new features and charges $20 odd... they cant even be bothered to add a unique mission tree for every nation.. when i asked someone why they dont bother, someone said..oh its game limitations... cant be done and takes too much time and effort.. weird how a modder can do extended timelines and missions but the developer cant be bothered to do it? 7 days to die comes out with new alphas every year and charges nothing extra... i think paradox are just greedy and lazy
Maybe but it's typically 20$ maximum full prize for a brand new DLC and then like 5-8$ half a year later so you could buy everything for less than 100$ if you watch out for the sales...
You know I really don't care if you want to pay that or not but I am just saying that this Game has enough Content for thousands of hours (I have more than 6k) so even if I paid like 300$ for that already, it's like 5 Cents per hour...
Compare that to normal Full Prize Titles like AC or Ark or something like that then you pay 60$ and play like 100 hours maximum for the story... so all I am saying is that it isn't unfair :)
@@thestudentYT i spent £30 for fallout 4 plus all dcls and i played 6000 hours... im poor... for me a game is only valuable with lots of replayability.. eu4 was worth the money all the dlcs arent.. unless i get them for a dollar each.. $300-500 for a game plus dlcs is definitely unfair its a rip off
We could and should definetly argue about the Price of Eu4 but I still think that it isn't as bad as you describe it... but again: I don't want to talk you into buying something that you don't want to of course! I just wanted to represent the other POV here :)
4:50 Isn't Aix owned by Aragon? Does that mean you need to border a province that connects to the capital?
Yeah they had an Estate Regency at the time with no dynasty that's why... I also only found this out later (but otherwise I would have only had to give Monpellier awsy as well and all would be fine)
How much this changes the European play from 1 to 10? 42!
I don't see the elective monarchy reform.... do I need to have states general first? playing with Spain, the 3rd type of first goverment reform is System of Council...
Is System of Council a locked Reform? Or can you switch to Autocracy for example?
@@thestudentYT I just say what happened. I don't have domination dlc, but the system of council reform is still there, disabled. To enable it, you need to finish the System of Council mission, which belongs to castille (if you formed Spain, you can't unlock it).... this mission tree is only available if you have the dlc.... ridiculous,
Yeah... all of these Generic Special Reform including Elective Monarchy come with the Domination DLC sadly
Bohemian elective monarchy works similar way. Does it mean you can do it on bohemy too?
Yes
If they dont get your last name you get their last name
May I know what graphical mod is used ? Map looks nice !
Video description ;)
I never get to choose a new ruler; the current just continues. Is this still working or was this removed in the latest fix?
You need to have the Statists in Power for that
No but whats crazy is that 666 ruler of Aragon
feels a little cheesy, i know its not...lol Anyway, very good info.
If I do this, the event will offer me a dinasty from another country with which I share a border. How do I get the dinasty of my target country?
Make a vassal own all borders with every bigger neighbor than your target (I talked about this in the very first example with Orleans)
As I understand it, before one chooses an elected monarchy one must have a reform States General so that when one chooses a monarchy the current monarch dies?
Be States General (or Dutch thing); Switch out of States General while Statists in Power; Hold the Event; Switch Into Elective Monarchy; Wait a month tick; Click the event "Government Abolished" that you Holded earlier; Take the desired Dynasty in the following event; Take the Union; Repeat;
@@thestudentYT Thank you
Ok ngl that's kinda based
я искал эту тактику 5 лет. почему ты, а не я? ну всё равно красавчик, так держать
Best subject in eu4 is eyalet
I didn't know that you could annex a 700% Warscore Russia in one war with the Eyalets Mechanic...
@@thestudentYT as muslim wtih monuments and diplo ideas you can literaly annex russia and istead of coring all this, you can release eyalets and get manpower with forse limit for free, dont even need to annex them
Only if you are the Ottomans (or Rum) and idk why you would put this on the same lvl as my tactic here as playing the Ottomans is basically a Win button anyways and 0% Generic
Wait... i saw you inherited a throne during the changing of your government. If you were the HRE leader, couldnt you use this to get all reforms using this?
Yes you can
@thestudentYT most interesting... I love this game, your videos are very entertaining
"You can use this strategy as any nation to play as"
Except if you are a vassal or HRE emporer.
Yeah...you know what I mean
But you can do it as HRE Emperor
Very broken mechanic!
How would one gain a lot of reform progress to consistently do this? Would playing court ideas be good for this?
I said that in the video... (End of the 2nd Part)
does this work even if you dont have all the dlcs? i havent bought one since emperor
Idk for sure but you might not have the Elective Monarchy Reform ( without Domination... but as long as you have that you can do it via the second path
@@thestudentYT im playing burgundy right now trying to get to lotharingia - will tell you if i have it then
how do you find this stuff?
how does your game look like this!
Hello, what DLC i need for this reform? because i cant see the reform : is it the last DLC i need? i got all bu tnot the last one
I think it is Domination DLC
@@thestudentYT oh :( i want it so much but then i will pass it :)
Just wait a little bit for the next sale, these older DLCs are often offered for just 5~ $ then and that is definetly worth it imo
So this needs dominations dlc?
is it hard to do with russia to other europeans as well ?
No you just have to watch your current borders to not get an unintended dynasty
:)
Do you also have to be Christian or just the target? Also isn't russia Orthodox? How did you make them Chrisitian?
Orthodox is a Christian Religion...
And yes theoretically only the Target needs to be Christian but you useally cannot make a royal marriage with Christians as non-Christian so in Practice both have to be Christian
@@thestudentYT I don't think I'm clear with what is considered 'Christian', thank you for your awnser anyways (I managed to find a list)
Diplo only run now
I mean is it diplo if you force them into a Union via war?
A while back, didnt you show some shenanigans between the dutch and english tier 1 reforms to get a lot of reform progress at the cost of some mana points. If you combine that with this strategy, you can really break the game.
Yeah you could get 50 Progress from the Dutch each time so in the end this would be only 50 Reformprogress or 200 diplo mana per Union
why your voice volume so low
which countries can be used?
Every Country

@@thestudentYT oh ya? Great job man. I think I havent found your channel back then when you post that exploit.
what graphics mod is that?

Oh, it doesn't work for Byzantium, you can't switch to Elective Monarchy,
You can, but you have to get rid of your special Tier 1 Reform first, the easiest ways for that would be to change to a Theocracy or a Republic for a Day and then switch Back to the Monarchy (via Tier 6 Reforms) and then you can choose whatever Tier 1 Monarchy Reform you want to be :)
@@thestudentYT Thanks for the information.
