just uhhh ignore the technical difficulties from 7:11-7:32
DEAL! I'm in!
Was introduced to EU4 youtube by way of DDRJake and his draconian viewer reduction strats, so nothing is more likely to earn a like than an iron fist and a callous disregard for the whims of the proletariat
quarbit gaming back at it with byzantine eu4 IV game, lovely
This isn't the first part but I couldn't be bothered doing a geo post for that so here it is anyways. This is going to be pretty short because I've got better things to do with my time (not really, I just can't be bothered fleshing it out or doing research beyond what I already know) (note from future Osariik: it's not actually very short because I actually know more than I thought I did and I really don't have better things to do with my time at the moment).
To the south of Greece, the African Plate is subducting under the Eurasian, Aegean and Anatolian plates. This is the cause of the mountains all across Greece, the volcanoes around the islands and southern peninsulas and the islands of the Aegean themselves. Some of the volcanoes have potential for significant eruptions-the Minoan eruption of Santorini/Thera destroyed the namesake Minoan civilisation and probably caused the collapse of the Phoenician Empire (however, no Greek volcanoes, to my knowledge, are displaying any signs of heightened activity or pending eruption-they all seem to be sleeping fairly soundly at the moment). Now to the bulk of this post: the Aegean.
The Aegean plate is a distinct tectonic plate consisting of the Aegean sea and its islands (including Crete), the Peloponnese Peninsula and some of the westernmost extremes of Anatolia. It's slowly moving south relative to Eurasia, which has caused the Gulf of Corinth to open up, and the African plate is subducting under it, which causes volcanism. Some of the Aegean islands are hence volcanic in origin (e.g. Santorini), but some have a more geologically complex origin involving several complicated processes called slab rollback, basin-and-range province development, back arc basin development and continental crustal thinning resulting from post-orogenic collapse (among other processes). To simplify all these: there's two types of tectonic crust, continental and oceanic, and most of the Mediterranean and its marginal seas and the Black Sea are made of oceanic crust but the Aegean sea's crust is made of continental crust that has been thinned significantly. This is basically because a mountain range was built in the area, and after the mountain range stopped building it began to collapse and spread out a bit and was weakened and thinned. That's the continental crustal thinning resulting from post-orogenic collapse. Slab rollback, back-arc basin development basin-and-range province development effectively go hand in hand in this case (it's very different in certain other places such as the Western US, where rather than slab rollback they have flat-slab subduction). Basically, the northern oceanic crust of the African plate is very old, cold and dense, and as such when it subducts under the Aegean it goes down rather steeply. This causes the upper mantle under the Aegean to circulate a bit, which causes extension and spreading within the Aegean. Some parts of the plate sink down while others rise up, which is the reason for those nice alternating chains of islands and stretches of open sea through the Aegean-those islands are effectively the peaks of partially-submerged mountains.

Good show
Imo making it so that pronoias are automatically non-hereditary is the best, as it means you can have tonssss of them and be constantly inheriting them whilst not worrying about their liberty desire, works especially well with the whole client states thing (i.e. take a lot of land, create a client state and make them a pronoia, give them all the land, boom you get it when their king dies)
you also get their overextension if they don't core quickly enough 💀
I learned that the hard way
The Grikos are a real people group that exist in southern Italy. They're the last remaining fragments of the Greeks who colonised Magna Graecia. They're small in numbers today, but they would have made a somewhat larger proportion of Sicily and Naples back in this time period. The idea of them reasserting themselves under a resurgent Byzantine Empire isn't that far fetched as that *is* the reason they've lingered for so long - Byzantine outposts in Italy kept the culture alive.
Actually greek major presence was established until mussolinis fascist rule and even after that today, there are still griko speaking cities
You can bust the parliament manpower event harder by slackening right before, doubles all manpower events, then just turn it off so you don't lose any professionalism . Also could have turned off settlement growth for Syria to prevent them from deving.
I believe settlement growth prevents them from using colonists, but does it really prevent devving as well?
@@QuarbitGaming It does. I use it pretty extensively when running the lib desire close on several vassals early on. For example for Timurids.
@@draganjovanovic780 someone should update the wiki about that then
Pronoiars were land rights given to great generals so it makes sense that they are good
good thing they're also coincidentally top tier administrators (they need that admin to core anything)
This is great. I love watching series like these
you literally cannot disinherit heirs you get from favours. it disables that feature. the ai's heirs just die a bunch
wait for real? damn it's just streamer anti-luck I guess
You are sounding like you're having way too much fun with this campaign. I really need to try it out!
I'd watch more of this. Eastern Rome is pretty based.
Awesome
no u
Handsome anime royally knightly vtuber larps as a romaboo
larps? bold to assume I'm not a real romaboo
It's pleasure to see another Byzantium vid from you🎉
I was looking for a reason to not sleep tonight, thank you
That late name placement is staggering
I like. Do more.
ok
Somthing i always have an issue with as byz is that i conquer their core lands and southern italy, then i feel too powerful. Its to the point were i may have to impliment purposeful decentralization to make it fun
Im enjoying this lots
Ah yes good ol Bigzantium
Great work there! One thought... it might be dangerous to take Russia as a PU, as then you'd face endless distractions from the hordes, and have to "take steppes" to contain them.
you know, considering you can reform Rome, you should be able to bring back the Roman pantheon, in a similar manner to how you get the Norse faith, either a leader with the appropriates traits or a high enough skill
I'm kinda surprised that they didn't include the ability to restore Hellenism at the very least. For prettymuch anyone except a resurgent Greek culture it doesn't really make sense to go back to the Roman pantheon because Rome christianised much longer ago, whereas in the grand scheme of things Scandinavia was much more recent.

He has been roman pilled.
