Inca Empire rise and modernization / EU4 RP Storytelling
Vložit

- The Incas, a rather small people who lived in the center of the Andes Mountains, had a rather interesting fate - they created the largest empire in pre-Columbian America with the best infrastructure, the best administration, the largest army, the highest level of technology, the most gold and silver, the coolest llamas, and so on. In this video, I will tell you my story of how this empire was formed, what it was and how it was able to survive the invasions of Europeans, and adapt to the world that suddenly appeared before them, in the form of a historical narrative, using Europa Universalis IV with the mod MEIOU & TAXES.

43:23 - The Empire strikes back - Hry
One's I had a weird thought of what if the Incas somehow adopted Tibetan style Buddhism. I think the aesthetics would be very interesting.
I straight up had a Tibet game a long time where I colonized a lot of the new world lmao. Most of the south and North American west coast is Vajrayana. So your scenario would play out there
Mountains are mountains!
Google the Ai-Mo tribe from Polytopia
@@zenothemeano4381exactly my thought
i'm impressed that not only you made a good gameplay of EU4 but also did a very extensive exploration of the Incan culture, congratulations!
This is exactly the kind of RP I love doing in EU4. It's a great balance of doing things because it's optimal for gameplay and doing things because it makes for a cool alt-history. I also absolutely love imagining the cultural syncretisms that would emerge in these multi-cultural empires, and I really wish vanilla EUIV had something more like Imperator Rome's religion blending and Crusader Kings 3's cultural melding. It's honestly the only way I could have more fun with vanilla EUIV without absolutely enormous overhauls to core mechanics.
A great video for a great civilization. Due to their insular nature, the Incas are especially interesting to compare to civilizations all through the world: what kind of social systems they developed, and how different and similar they were from those from other continents.
And the fact that you're playing MEIOU is a delight too.
When you're having an inca history test next week but too lazy to study:
Joking aside, this is surprisingly informative. I was under the impression that this was just another role play session, but in a historical retelling aspect. What i was not expecting was the amount of real-world history tib bit sprinkle all over this video
This was so cool. Thank you for making it.
Idea for the next one, if you convert a CK2 save to EU4 but have the Sunset Invasion DLC enabled, it will generate a secret OP Aztec Empire in the Americas. A video where the Aztecs colonize Europe would be a lot of fun.
Eu4 is an excellent game for story telling, but i see it used that way so rarely compared to other grand strategy games.
HOI4 has the least storytelling potential yet is used the most for Paradox storytelling.
Check out paradox’s official forums, people write AARs (after action reports) and get really creative with them
Peru mentioned, day immediately improved
Personally couldn't get a grasp on MEIOU&Taxes, but I'm always brutally impressed to see someone playing it in such a advanced way. Do you have any tips for beginning to learn it Synthist I would be grateful if you did. Anyways keep it up homie sure you'll start picking up steam soon enough, these are always some of my favourite videos to watch thanks to the storytelling and gameplay.
What a day for being colombian and watching this video, being colonized by the UK and then conquered by the Inca empire is something that my ancestors fought a lot to avoid 😅
Blessed timeline, can't wait for more Americas content!
It is not true that the Andeans had no idea about sea travel though. They had large ships, hell, the first Quechua person the Spaniards met was a crewmate on a native ship! There's also the story of Yupanqui sailing off for an expedition into the western islands. None of these would be possible without large ships...
Mesoamericans also made use of copper and bronze, but that's a minor nitpick lol
Aw man I was gonna comment this.
This was a super cool video and actually got me thinking about the fact that the incas developed halberds on their own without european influence O_O
This is by far your best one yet. Hope to see a sequel at some point.
This was awesome, i usually don't like the style of most RP's for paradox games but the way you did it made it very enjoyable, i am excited to watch more!
I feel like this video format would be great for a mega campaign of some kind. I know that's a lot of work, but I'd definitely love to see it
Wasn't expecting this video today but I'm glad it did.
Always loved a good playthrough with a storyline. Subscribed!
I've been looking for a channel like this for a while! You deserve more views.
Loved this dude, please make more MEIOU & Taxes EU IV Stories, you did such a great job!
Subbed, Liked!
Your RP is so good dude. Subbed!
Such a creative way to make a EU4 video, love it as usual
This is the best posible timeline for south america!
Unless you ask a Mapuchean since they had a strong rivarly with the Incas. Although to be fair Incan Empire could have survived if things went better historically.
@@GwainSagaFanChannel and yeah if certain things dont wasnt so badly the surely will go better
@@GwainSagaFanChannelthere would still be more of them alive in the long run though thanks to not getting killed on mass by diseases
Nah
To be poor of course
How amazing this channel is, why does it only have 8,88k subs?
Instant sub, loved this video and definitely planning to watch more. I might have to try out MEIOU & Taxes too.
Synthist, o seu canal e seu jeito único de seus vídeos são incríveis, espero que receba mais reconhecimento
This is really underrated EU4 content. Hope you make more EU4 stuff!
Very high quality video, i was pleasantly surprised
Great easter gift!
Great vid! Loved the narrative. Hope to see some Victoria III next!
Incredible video!
great video. love the history
Baby wake up, Sinthist just dropped another banger video
Hey wow, this is a super cool way to engage with paradox games! Super interesting to learn some stuff about the real Inca, too!
15:07 here we can observe the head priest showing his dominance over the Earth evil spirirts
Great video!
Thank you for the captions.
Shout out to the T posing guy at 15:09
Amazing video
playing Inca in M&T is wild though, huge respect
Awesome
would love to see a follow-up, this was a spectacular video
Woooow what a great surprise
"with the mod MEIOU and taxes"
Instant subscribe
This is amazing! I wish that you continue it to vic 2 or 3 but its ok if it wont
Listened to this while I was cooking, forgot it was an EU4 AAR and not just an alternate history video until I heard "the English came from the northern coast"
Best channel
Another Banger
Me: Ah lovely, now let's click the next video.
The Next Video:
King Kusco approves this timeline
Goated video
Loved the video, what music did you use in the background?
I cant believe how you forgot pachachuti
very cool. pls do more eu4! maybe a bosnia playtrough- as their history is quite interesting between catholicism and orthodoxy and islam!
bogolomist and or bosnian church very cool
MOAR
Id love to see this converted to Victoria 3
Neat
Like and great video as always.👍👍 Wow !!
I have 2 ideas that i hope it might interest you and other people(also have a great day everyone):
1- A HoI4 semi-mega campaing(2 or 3 games) of democratic Italy (my only reason is that sometimes in Argentina we say that our true mother is Italy, not Spain)
2- A Christian Rusia in any game that you might like the idea.
nice video, maybe check out emirate of diriyah and do something with it for vic2/3
Can you do my country Brazil in Victoria 2?? Sure as hell would love it
lol, the Incans got smallpox because of console commands
I believe it will attract a lot of views if you'll make a ottoman empire rp in victoria 3, where they'll modernize and become the great power in the middle east. CZcams lack a good ottoman empire rp.
you should make this a mega campaign
Please do Ethiopia next
Can you do a Holy Roman Empire rp?
Акцента уже почти не слышно, хорош, хлопчик💪🐖
"Highest level of technology"
*Shows a wall*
More please
who wins; a totally innocent blanket or a empire with millions of people.
For some reason, I heard comparisons of Inca state and policies with Communist ones, mainly because of command economy, assignments of labor duties on a large-scale population groups and so on. Though I personally believe that on such managerial similarities the comparison ends. And it's really funny that, according to story of this video, Age of Imperialism essentially started with the very Incas and their strive for total domination in South America. Nevertheless, I would disagree on the notion of supposed Inca belief of their relation to other Amerindians: those are pagans, has absolutely no relation in culture or language to Quechua people (and linguistics of South America natives is a special kind of Charlie Foxtrot) and refuse to modernize in a way it was done by Inca elites. I even could suppose that for some time - namely, after modernization efforts were secured - those very elites could aspire for becoming even more European than Europeans themselves. And after one or two generations of such ideas, doubled with the very European arrogance and perception of Incas as "still barbarians", such phylia would turn to phobia and lead us to that very imperialism of late game. Reminds me of Japanese expansionism, though.
On the video itself - great as always, will wait for other such stories. Especially such as this, based on MEIOU - I did try to play it, but my PC just cannot handle it's satiated contents, but MEIOU makes EU 4 much more... "realistic", I would say. The only thing I would like you to improve is pronunciation. To know proper spelling of word you may use dictionaries (such as Wiktionary - English is preferable, Cambridge one and so on), Forvo (you may find there examples of pronunciations) and, in general, it's very useful in trying to read foreign texts with knowledge of IPA and how to decipher it's symbols.
Convert to VIC3?

I love this style of video! Amazing! You’ve earned a new subscriber! Can you do a campaign as a North American native tribe migrating to Asia and eventually becoming emperor of China? Or maybe one of the Siberian tribes migrating to North America and conquering it?
Hi
They have three main gods just like hinduism
Inca manifest destiny lol
I wonder if you made inca story during englightenment era would very interesting ngl
South America: The good ending
So this is just for fun but i think the Quechua script would have been different in this time line and while we can't say for certain how it would have looked like, just for fun i'm creating one here. So Spanish won't be the main inspiration source for this Quechua script but it would more likely be German and Italian with lot more of freedom since the culture is more isolated and is autonomous.
