Catholic? Boring :) I recommend becoming a Sunni :P@@makiskanyt9269

I like the estate talk. It's especially great for people who don't regularly watch your Videos or might just see them for the first time.

I did a Holland into Netherlands run, I was prepared for a hard independence war but after a scornful insult Burgundy just folded and ended the personal union 💀

[@subfornoreason5105]

Bro what did you say to get burgundy to just let you go 💀💀

[@khansahb8]

That's one powerful yo mama joke.

[@luckymikemadziar]

Yes, to estates. Does not take long and I find it valuable.

[@feldty]

You don't come to Netherlands, Netherlands come to you

[@KomradZX1989]

Just found you after getting back into Europa for the first time in a few months. Love you videos. You earned my subscription! Cheers from St. Louis, Missouri USA ✌️

[@ayoplo]

God I forgot about your channel for a while but your editing has gotten even better, and I already thought it was exceptional. Keep it up :)

[@pedrosoria1990]

I enjoyed your video and particular run, very nice economy and very nice projection

[@lookasetbella]

Thanx!

[@scorpionfiresome3834]

Try a roleplay campaign as Genoa and try to make it Colonial Empire by taking Castile’s coast and vassalize Portugal. All that trade in Sevilla going into Genoa, delicious.

[@jenshendrickx2230]

me being flemish and seeing this on my recommended page I never clicked this fast in my life greets from Bruges

[@Boybala]

Hey, great video! :) but why did you burn taxes prior to age of reformation at 10:20?

[@lookasetbella]

The value of money obtained from burning TAX is influenced by TAX modifiers

[@Dukaier]

Very rare footage of bella actually playing tall (me seeing thumbnail): 1st minute in the video: yep tall now i got to turn my monitor sideways.

[@alatamore]

Implement face sitting...hahahaha!!!!!

[@oddiethefox5832]

I like forming Netherlands with East Frisia. Peasant republic is a nice change of pace

[@lookasetbella]

It is look like a harder way, because you don't destroy Burgundy early. There are a big chances that Burgundy will fall to Austria or another country.

[@oddiethefox5832]

@@lookasetbella if Austria gets burgundy, they just release the lowland countries as princes of HRE. You can easily just join HRE and expand to borders you want then form Netherlands and leave HRE. Definitely a harder start but not too bad

[@lookasetbella]

This is random. It doesn't always release. Now I am just finishing the campaign in which Austria retained these areas.@@oddiethefox5832

[@oddiethefox5832]

@@lookasetbella yeah it's random but it happens often enough, at least from my experience. But I understand not wanting to save scum or alt f4. I just think it offers a nice challenge and flavor for forming the Netherlands. Plus there's not many peasant republics to play so that's cool. The history of East Frisia and the HRE is cool :) the reason why they don't start in the HRE is because they weren't really feudal yet, but a small collection of tribes. Though that's not represented in the game at all other than not being apart of the HRE at game start.

[@Roman_Countryball]

14:54 I don't know what happened but Lookas just started to said something like this with his viewer for some reason.

[@lookasetbella]

Lately, every time I want to show you a big sea battle, a random event occurs. And this event overshadows the entire battle.

[@Roman_Countryball]

@@lookasetbella Oh well...

[@MegaMash77]

18:58 You get kicked from the empire when you form the Netherlands

[@lookasetbella]

I probably didn't read tooltip to the end, as usual ;p

[@John_1-1_in_Japanese]

I once considered trying imperialism my means of sparing my idea group slots and just let other people do the colonizing for me (then taking the valuable provinces) but I'm too ADHD to play long games anyways. I swear, in the past 10 campaigns I did I don't think I got past 1550

[@arekzawistowski2609]

Why is that? For example for me wars with 200k of my own army are perfect so they are most enjoyable between 1550-1700. 4x field width number of units so 2 full armies is time when you can outplay 2-3x largest enemies. Maybe not to 100WS but 50% easily and without managing 10 armies at speed 2 with many pauses.

[@John_1-1_in_Japanese]

@@arekzawistowski2609 It's nothing complicated. I'm kinda impatient; I like constant drama, something always happening. My favorites games are the True Heir of Timur or Big Blue Blob types. Or playing a daimyo and uniting Japan in 10 years. Hyper aggressive. Any time I have to speed 5 and wait I get bored. Especially because I have a potato PC that can't handle high speeds well. My longest recent campaign was as Cebu, going for Phillipine Tiger/Spice Must Flow. I was having a great time & united every tag south of Thailand ~1520 then I realized I was admin tech 8 when other (SEA!) nations were already tech 10 despite not having institutions. I had to stop and wait to catch up in tech. I still haven't returned to the campaign.

[@arekzawistowski2609]

@@John_1-1_in_Japanese i like the same thing but i don't have a potato PC i guess. I recommend you "i don't like sand" achievement if you didn't already possess it. I was trying to do it with other Arab achievements but in the process of destroying Ottomans with the help of Austria i created 6k development Germany and even with vassals around all islamic world i can't mentally and physically stand war against 1 million good quality army so now i will try do the speedrun for all deserts in northern hemisphere as Mamluks for second time. At first try Ottomans and France played almost perfectly and had 2500 dev and i didn't want to deal with them as i wasted too much time fighting 100k stable Ming

Maybe lets not implement facesitting in antwerp

keep estate privileges in the video 👍

Kinda a shame you went for netherlands campaign right now since in next DLC they'll have brand new mission tree Also god damn is that clickbait

[@lookasetbella]

What clickbait? I can also record it when a new one comes out. And it will be even better because I will have a fresh comparison.

[@freddekl1102]

@@lookasetbella no colonist part and with that title when new DLC comes out (like a month+ I guess) you'll have hundred million people looking for that new content and clicking off in 10 seconds bc it's pre DLC

[@lookasetbella]

I don't use the colonist to colonize a new world :P Seriously, I only used it for the nice border between Congo and Mutapa. And there's a fragment near Benin because bots NEVER colonize it. So, actually, I even made the game harder for myself. I don't know how concisely I could put this in the title.@@freddekl1102
