Absolutely no idea why but Austria has been killing it every game recently, even more than usual. The reason you may see some not colonizing at all is the cost.
The Miami (not to be confused with the Mayaimi that gave the city in Florida its name) were actually a tribe along the Great Lakes, so not too far of a stretch.
It would be cool to see "EU4 but all dynasties are nations" according to the starting dynasties of course. Ideas are easy as most cultures only have one country but there are cases where it can get interesting (I think Spain would be united from the start for example or Habsburgs might have land here there and the same goes for Wittelsbach. Republics could stay unchanged so Dithmarschen is still Dithmarschen etc. It would also be cool to see all government reforms as a country, meaning that all monarchies are a one single country, all bishoprics are a one country, all monastic orders are a one country etc. The country name could just be the name of the governmental type like "Bishoprics" "monarchies" etc. They could also have the idea sets of the best representative of that government type so papal ideas for the Bishopric and so on.
Maybe do a video where you do some sort of tech cost modifier where you essentially inverse the spread of tech so it’s natives (America Australia) then sub Saharan Africa etc. just flip the order of tech in custom nation designer. Have it be up to 250% increase
@@CulusMagnus I don’t want that as most institutions spawn in Europe so not embracing it is equal across the globe. I want it to be where Europe is multiple tech levels behind Sub Saharan Africa. As in I want mil tech 7 (canons) to be taken in sub Saharan first. My solution is Give each tech group a tech cost Malus (easily moddable as all you need to do is but it as a National focus as afaik 3 bonuses are allowed or you can give every country a National modifier.) then in order of custom nation designer tech cost inverse the cost so the most expensive tech group is +250% and the cheapest is 0%.
EU4 Timelapses: "What if everyone gets a colonist?" Austria: "Oh, that's all I ever needed to defeat France and rule the western world." Ottomans: *knock knock* Austria: "I'm in danger!"
There was a game version in EU1 way back in the day where you could colonize the whole world. I played as Cataluyna, as i remember. About 10 players with 1 province each to start, nothing else. That was really fun
As a Scottish person I’m so happy England didn’t manage to conquer the north of Scotland and it was the kingdoms the isles instead🤣🏴 An Alba Shaor
Do a USSR mod - Revolutionary Russia with 14 vassals(and enough diploslots to fit them), historical borders and no local autonomy/unrest so it doesn't explode to rebels
The AI in EU4 only ever colonizes upstream, going to where the trade comes from. This is why, for example, AI Sofala never colonized South Africa or why AI Asia doesn't colonize the Americas even with a colonist or exploration ideas.
@@matiasalejandrogomezjatab1263 Only through event, they will never choose to colonize those lands themselves, even if they could not possibly colonize any other piece of land.
That the ottomans frequently does so good is at least historically accurate. I hate more what has been done to america and how even before the europeans arrive they have large nation states with 80-120 development in total. There is almost no room for colonizing there anymore and almost always it ends up with the natives conquering small colonies. This is also a problem with australia. if they really want to keep those natives there then they need to double the provinces to allow proper colonization. Ming is also an issue since they can abuse tributaries so hard that they easily keep up with tech levels throughout the whole game.
I’m predicting a weak game by Iberia, as their normal leg up is now shared by everyone Also rip any new world tribes lol Edit: right on the money about Iberia, but North America did great
It's nice to have flavor added to the game... what sort of game would give an easy way for the usual winners to, as usual, beat up the whole world once again?
Here's an idea: everyone starts with only their capital province, but also with a colonist,
Fantasia
This was exactly what i think omg
I was just about to say this! This would be amazing not just for a video but for a mod too
Yes
@@UltimatBlade I think if you were to actually play this it would be residentsleeper gameplay for like 150 years so idk if it would be that good
I see. Austria gets colonist = integrate Iberia
and france and italy
EU4 Timelines: Let me think of an interesting scenario
EU4: Russia, Ottos, Austria go blobbbbbbbbbbb
I am honestly surprised they nerfed France that badly.
No, Austria, we said "colonize the New World", not Europe!
Brave new Europe.
Miami was sick and tired of the hot weather and relocated to Canada!
The Miami (not to be confused with the Mayaimi that gave the city in Florida its name) were actually a tribe along the Great Lakes, so not too far of a stretch.
Game be like
"Dont worry Tupinamba, English Brazil can't hurt you!"
Brazil:
"But free Brazil can!"
Cut everyone down to just their capital province, then give everyone a colonist.
Yes plz do this one
Be interesting to see this combined with the drained oceans mod.
Rip CPU

Another way is to make the penalty for not embracing an institution a buff by flipping the sign

4:17 for a second i thought that was Rev France as an elector, almost spit out my drink
EU4 Timelapses: "What if everyone gets a colonist?"
Austria: "Oh, that's all I ever needed to defeat France and rule the western world."
Ottomans: *knock knock*
Austria: "I'm in danger!"
oh for a sec i thought this would be "you can colonize occupied provinces"
3:58 Imagine riding your horse through mongolia only to see a huge city in the middle of nowhere
History books: Ottomans lose because theyr dont colonize
Eu4 Timelapses: I will fix it
R E V O L U T I O N A R Y
*RUSSIA*
North America: Natives largely hold out against European colonization
South America: England devours most of the continent in a decade
What if every nation started off as a OPM centered in their capital province?
With a colonist.
is no one going to talk about Nivkh Japan? Nivkh literally conquered northern Honshu at the end there what absolute madlads

Yes! It was called Fantasia and it was really fun.
@@ZumbaMarx Thanks, was trying to remember, glad I'm not the only one who got to enjoy it

Props to Theodoro surviving nearly the entire game.
The map of the new world, Good Ending? Mostly at least
Video idea: What if every ruler was aggressive
REVOLUTIONARY ULM???
Idea: Make every nation start only with their capital while everything else is uncolonized, and give every nation Siberian frontier thing
The last thing Ottomans need in EU4 is a colonist lol
You've done it already, but what about Drained Oceans + Everybody Colonizes?
Im happy that brittany survived to the 1600s
Do one where every nation only starts off with their capital and a colonists and the rest of the land is uncolonized
Eu4 but all trade is reversed pls!
What made you hate Venice and Genoa so much?
@@mr.paperbag771 because they have obscene naval force limits
I love that Uzbek wall of siberia against Russia lol
Best game for africa I've seen so far :)
First time I see Bukhara form
pls do more videos with that bank mode...
Russia: gets Urals in 1400-1500
Everyone: oh god
Give a colonist to Portugal, they'll get to Australia for some reason. Good video
Do a USSR mod - Revolutionary Russia with 14 vassals(and enough diploslots to fit them), historical borders and no local autonomy/unrest so it doesn't explode to rebels
Bad ending Argentina is being occupied by England and then Chile
EU4 but everyone only gets to colonize via land
EU4 but the trade nodes are randomly relocated across the world
Idea: Start with only capitals but make every nation a native american council government
this but the dry world colonizable sea too and everyone star with one province, no russia madness with random (evenly) placement
Why does Chile always become the south cone country ?
Ooooh, exciting!
Austria and Ottomans - the greatest colonists😂
Kind of looks like a lot of AIs just don't know how to use colonists
"EU IV but Russia has to push west instead of east"
One question, sometimes when I make custom worlds where Europe is not fully "colonized" nobody tries to colonize it, do you know how to solve it?
The AI in EU4 only ever colonizes upstream, going to where the trade comes from. This is why, for example, AI Sofala never colonized South Africa or why AI Asia doesn't colonize the Americas even with a colonist or exploration ideas.
@@Elfangor567 So, in theory, will they eventually?
@@matiasalejandrogomezjatab1263 Only through event, they will never choose to colonize those lands themselves, even if they could not possibly colonize any other piece of land.
@@Elfangor567 ok ty for the info
Can anybody explain why at 4:17:
it says "3 free cities" and shows only 1
it says "17 princes" and shows 19
So weird the GB did not form.
Mongolia starts with mongol empire peak provinces
I don't think Malindi was meant to ever become big cuz its color is near identical to Ottomans lmao
portuguese colony in north Africa: portuguese sus :D
Why do the polish protestants remind me of the shape of China? With a Crimea shape on the bottom...
tnx
Europe colonizes faster and mingplodes....
Ugh feels like Ottomans & a bunch of Asian civs need a nerf.
definitely, my favorites had absolutely no chance to survive at all in almost every single eu4 timelapses because of those civs 😂

I’m predicting a weak game by Iberia, as their normal leg up is now shared by everyone
Also rip any new world tribes lol
Edit: right on the money about Iberia, but North America did great
i really hate what this latest patch/expansion did to North American natives. The continent is uncolonisable now.
It's nice to have flavor added to the game... what sort of game would give an easy way for the usual winners to, as usual, beat up the whole world once again?
@@RD-ii2ju In the new patch, the ai never colonisers north America. If it happened some of time, I'd be fine with it. Now, it happens ALL of the time.
@@aintnoslice3422 in that case, hope to see any game improvement soon. Haven't play the last patch, so...
@@RD-ii2ju my advice...don't
@@aintnoslice3422 reverse to patch 3.60 and forgot the new patch ever happened till fixed
