@@SpudgunOfficial What the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to diss my boy for his choice of photo-portrait? I'll let you know he spent several hours in front of his monocromatic bicolor photograph production machine to manufacture himself.
While Burgundy/Scandi have incentive to take land from the DM first, I would argue taking Bohemia out of the game quickly is the better option. Destroying Bohemia makes the war into a one-front war against DM, and DM can recover from losing land in 1836 because it's a huge country whereas losing 100 warscore as Bohemia in 1836 is a GG. The very best i've seen the Burgundy/Scandi Alliance do in these videos is the series where Bohemia was destroyed early on.
Yeah you are right, perhaps the reason it doesn't happen is Scandi would much rather take the British Isles than expand inland in Germany. It's better land, easier to hold with their fleet and much better resources. And they can easily reconcile with Bohemia/Elbians after losing Pomerania
If Elbian land had anything other than grain/cattle/fruit, Scandinavia would have some incentive to do that. But that is it. Kill an enemy early + 20 years later accepting pops VS much better goods + many more pops + becoming number 1 naval because you are taking all of that + core ports from your only other rival for the next 70 years.
I think you're correct when it comes to Burgundy but for Scandi DM should always be the first priority. Scandi needs the isles and Bohemia doesn't need to die for them to go on becoming a Hegemon throughout the game
I’m glad spud, a Scottish person, is using the indomitable American spirit to form Germany in his favorite spreadsheet video game… fly free spud… like an bald eagle.. fly free….
burg here, the funny thing about this first war is that on this version of the mod bohemia-DM alone vastly outnumber burg-scandi specially in artillery count DM just fumbled the bag bigly can't wait to see the enemy pov of the next wars
i love the editing and appreciate the effort you put on these series; no matter how much time you take i'm sure it will be of quality and hell, i'm willing to wait for it. cheers from the lands of nogai
Hello, Spudgun. Playing as unoptimal as ever I see. Here's an interestdecision ing interaction. In this mod version the decision to form Danubian confederation can be done with either owning, sphering or puppetting. The last one is When the decision is pressed any spherelings or puppets with Danubian primary culture will be instantly annexed and on top of that forming Danubia will give cores on their land. This allows Bavaria to puppet Austria and eat them latter. This is good because Austria has it's own focuses and the ai will focus craftsmen. When I played Bavaria myself I used this trick to gain close to 100k more craftsmen in Austria than normal before annexing them. Edit: also it's less infamy and only takes one war.
Nobody could have foresee that they would return to 20:58 after a great recovery and even further expansion the only difference being that it would soon pass to Beornia/Exiled England...
I want to join one of these groups someday. Best game experience of my life was jumping into the deep end of a game I knew nothing about with a bunch of guys who were 3,000 hours deep. Joined an ARMA milsim unit made of veterans at the age of 17. I picked an M249 because I refused to bend my cold war brain around the idea of special ops. I ended up the only one of 2 LMG gunners in the platoon. I single handedly wiped one of Zeus's surprise attacks through the power of "more daka". Proudest moment of my life. Knowing NOTHING about grand strategy games, I think I'd love to be a vassal of one of these guys. And go full Ukranian famin mode because I didn't know about grain taxes or some minute bullshit.
If I remember right Potat DoD gimps DM at the start by removing almost all of their Anglois accepted pops. So the starting 2v2 is way more one sided than it normally is.
In this series, we see Bavaria being a loyal ally to the Horizontal Hugbox against the Vertical Hugbox (will such directions form into shapes or bluntly named factions?) That’s all for today, goodbye!
Hungary has one random German core inside of it, which I believe has Danubian. In a case of Bavaria, if I were playing it, I would be trying to aid Hungary against Ottomans, in exchange for them handing over that one tiny core. Any accepted pop, no matter how small, is worth giving a potential ally more pop. And Hungary, with enough land from Ottomans, can be very dangerous. Especially as a counter balance to PLC. Alternatively, I'd try to see if PLC would be up for a partition of Hungary, in exchange for the Croatians and Danubians in Hungary. Hungary is, after all, merely there in DoD to die.
I like this series so far, but to be honest the humour isn't quite up to standard
SOMEONE DID THE PFP
Did you have this pfp already or did you put it on for this?
@@SpudgunOfficial What the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to diss my boy for his choice of photo-portrait? I'll let you know he spent several hours in front of his monocromatic bicolor photograph production machine to manufacture himself.
The writer's strike is having unexpectedly far reaching consequences.
@@SpudgunOfficial i changed it specifically for this video
@@jibblessssI don’t trust thumbs…
I'm telling you all Bavaria in DoD is a wildcard nation. Can completely ruin everyone's chance to do anything in Germany and Italy.
My favorite part was when Spud said "This truly has become... The Bavaria Series"
It's bavarin' time
@@voronazavr was just about to make this joke lol
@@duatia5315 it's geniuses think alike time
Chilling. I clapped.
Oh my fucking god… SliccNicc
Glad to see this series is following the pattern of having terrible dad jokes
After looking back at the beginning, I can say that this series is the true meaning of "The Bavaria that could"
If OpenVic ends up having sync issues you can call it OOS'nVic.
We already have an OOsin' Victoria game, we don't intend to have another!

IT'S OUT YES

Dual monarchy getting beaten up in episode 1. Yeah it's a Spudgun series ladies and gentlemen.
Hungary in a death war? Check.
It won't even be a single monarchy
Spud, your channel in general is "The Spirit of the American Bloodbath."😂
Fighting against the odds to the end no matter what is a spirit as old as time itself
@@SpudgunOfficial as it fucking should be🫡

can't wait to see the enemy pov of the next wars
What mod version was that? There is so many DoD MP versions and they have so different starts from one another.

Bavaria, all the nightmares of trying to form Germany are flooding in
I’m so hyped for this you have no idea
I know right!
As a Saupreiß this will certainly be one of the series of all time
An event for the ages
Bro sent 10 dollars to spudgun, But spudgun never game him a heart or a comment...
"If I lose, it'll be the Dual Monarchy who gets hurt"
called that one
You know it's gonna be an epic part 2 when the ride of the Valkyries is playing
It’s finally formed
The Loco Meme is the best part of the series so far

Nice to see that the. downward spiral of humour is steady. At least there are certainies in this world
Don't we all love the liquidity crisis of 1832.
1 year after it looks so simple and interesting
I really like how you gave a comprehensive intro at the beginning
Wow what a great series
A big war in the second episode? Well that was quite expected

the HOI music when you're drawing plans gets me every time lmao
I'm happy to see a new series, wishing you best of luck and fun when editing the videos! So, Prost.
The hoi music while drawing the battleplan was great editing
Nobody could have foresee that they would return to 20:58 after a great recovery and even further expansion the only difference being that it would soon pass to Beornia/Exiled England...
A better start then Voice of the People at least there is that... ;)
Your content is improving in quality. Less rage and more politics and your commentary is very on point. Good watch
I like the Hearts of Iron theme as he draws the battle plan
The fact that the comment In The video is real makes this channel worthy of my subscription

Great episode! Already off to a good start with this one!

yet another banger, well done spud, I cant wait for the next one.
Let's gooooo! New DoD series! Though tbh, I can't wait for these to come out on the OpenViki project.
