HoPLiveShow - Cyprus

[@BudgetMonk]

I was slightly distracted by the fact I was livestreaming. Make sure to Concentrate development out of the Ragusan trade node into Aleppo. Thanks for watching!

[@Shasvastii]

Hey monk, I remember you being disappointed about low viewer numbers in twitch livestreams, but having high clicks in vods. As seen in this stream lots of viewers are from europe. For me it is not possible to follow your streams in my daily routines, but I love to watch vods. Bringing those over to KZbin is much more comfortable to me than watching stuff on twitch. Thank you for improving my viewer experience

[@oORoOFLOo]

I second this, I gave up onteitch years ago, but still lurk on youtube. However, streaming hours are still an issue

[@eroddy2513]

Fun series, looking forward to next Sunday

[@BudgetMonk]

Thanks.

[@Al-Basha_]

Now I'm waiting for how to own as the Ottomans

[@glewstick6655]

I’m very excited for next week! This was great! You’re my favourite EU4 content creator.

[@BudgetMonk]

Thanks bro. Appreciate it!

[@Martin_Hermann]

Another brutal cliffhanger. Well done!

[@carlmalheim7161]

You made one critical mistake at the end there. You stopped playing. See you next week.

[@semipro2810]

Great guide, awesome job man

[@torgomaghanyan7633]

Playing anything around ottomans is pure torture. Well except Poland, who could pu half of the Europe and go toe to toe against the ultimate evil.

[@EgonCholakian69]

I really like your style and personality. I'm going to subscribe

[@cuddlesandkafka]

Somebody in chat (Juan something I think) said he learned to play EU4 from BudgetMonk, and I wanted to say I also learned to play from him after losing horribly over and over for the first couple hundred hours. Ludi and Zlewikk are impressively good players, Chewy is fun, and Redhawk is a great performer and a very decent player, but Monk teaches the nitty-gritty well and he's very smart.

[@zaharigarkov9383]

Thank you Monk! Jud Jame!

[@jackwish420]

hey man, your hour of power is like the Bible for tough starts. would love to see you do ardabil or nations similar.

[@lithiumferrate6960]

I've played as Cyprus. Pure torture I tell you.

[@BudgetMonk]

I found it really hard on VH difficulty. Normal is a different story. If you struggle stay tuned to this strategy.

[@Landbeorht]

Very cool monk

[@wordcell_.on.twitter]

I've almost entirely stopped playing paradox games myself since whatever update added wonders to provinces, but I still like your videos for being relaxing and the fun of mechanics adroitness. I don't watch livestreams, but if you put a video up I basically always watch

[@BudgetMonk]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@gabri-immortale]

More pls more

[@mikeyb5591]

More plz

[@tonylittle9096]

I was hoping the hour of power would come back.

[@BudgetMonk]

Well I hope this is suitable. Trying out live streaming here for the first time. I stopped making guide style content because of the new patch that came out recently. It often ruins guides.

[@RiccardoRadici]

It took 34 patches for Paradox to make Byzantium delete their armies at the the start of the game and to make France never peace out England! 😂 There is a reason why they did not call themselves Syllogism, after all, I guess. Anyway, I love them with all their Paradoxes.

[@sgtbuckwheat]

Nice intro, I like this set up and I'd like to see Venice crushed in this next video.

[@BudgetMonk]

Thanks for feedback bro. Doing my best. I tried livestreaming on YT for the first time and it went so wrong from the tech angle. Damn.

[@geilerguerbis1511]

How about Ardabil next? Or maybe Mzab or Granada?

[@Relevant_Irrelevance]

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a big fan. I just don't watch the livestreams often cus I prefer vods since I can watch them at my own time and pace.

[@BudgetMonk]

Yeah. It's fine, just an experiment.

[@Horatiusxa]

Do you make more money per view off of KZbin or twitch? So that I’ll know where to watch ;)

[@BudgetMonk]

Hmm honestly not sure. Not really worth considering, both work. Thanks TVTPcamel :)

[@nicks7578]

Who is this Monk? Is he famous?😆

[@greenmushroom4258]

American and want more of this please!

[@BudgetMonk]

I have an issue where most of my audiance is European and it is past midnight for most of them. This experiment was not very successful and if you want more of it, I would really appreciate if you can make the live stream. Should be Sunday 5 pm est. Anyways, thanks either way for your support.

[@charleslathrop9743]

A three parter sounds good to me. Next do Provence.

[@maxbielawski6745]

Hi I’m from Hawaii! Oceania. Also America too.

[@BudgetMonk]

Haha Hawaii is kinda close to NZ.... Not really but nothing is close to us. Just Aussie

[@kyreniatk246]

Hey monk, would you take some time to review my Cyprus campaigns? I'd be glad to hear from an awesome player like you.

[@Ragatokk]

I'm not a fan of twitch at all, would be nice to see you stream more here on youtube.
