[@ravenouself4181]

[@thomasschmidt1452]

If you trucebreak ottobros, it's better to not take Edirne in the first war. AI priorities 1) the same continent and region, 2) the same religion, 3) the same culture, 4) the opinion. If turkish capital stays in Europe, the game consider Ottos to be European country and in 1440-50-s there are no other muslim nation in Europe (except Granada but it will be dead in few years). So the AI against turks will be so small that your can truce break them three times and annex all of Greece, Bulgaria and Asia Minor. All ya need for that is just to leave Edirne as otto's capital (but sometimes II is smart and change its capital to Anatolia).

[@LudietHistoria]

That's actually a really good point, let's get your comment some likes so others replicating the run can do better by letting ottos keep edirne!

[@user-jh8xg2yg1q]

​@@LudietHistoriaalso u dont actually need to trucebreak. Ragusa is guaranteed from the start by ottomans. And u can attack ragusa right after first war to lower truce timer.

[@niksan4318]

​@@user-jh8xg2yg1qExactly! Sometimes they even guarantee Serbia/Wallachia so you can attack them and get Ottos to war again. Plus, if in the first war you take Kocaeli, Bolu and Ankara instead of Kocaeli, Biga and Hudavendigar, except that you take out one more fort from the Ottos (making the war easier), you can also place your troops at Ankara and attack whichever (Karaman, Candar) the Ottos are about to attack. Then you vassalize that nation and get in a defensive war with the Ottos. Why truce break? There is no reason

[@GuitarHero49432]

@@user-jh8xg2yg1q yeah but with ragusa you might also have to deal with venice right?

I thought all of Anatolia is considered Europe. That's what it says on the mapmode. It does change from Eastern Europe to Levant subcontinent though. I'm sorry if this is just pedantic, idk all the calculations for AE are.

Paradox: Let's make an impossible start for Byzantium this time. Ludi: Let's set a new record for crushing the Ottomans in a Byzantium start.

[@LudietHistoria]

yup, but to be fair they kinda helped me a lot, since they gave me the -50% merc cost and 5% discipline, that was pretty crucial, plus the imperial guard DO NOT TAKE UP LAND FORCELIMIT !!!! That means I paid basically nothing for the entire army xD

[@foxdavion6865]

Well it is more of a case of Paradox wanting us to play Byzantium a certain way and use political and financial manoeuvrings to mitigate entrenched policies at that time period. Basically, you have to do what all good Emperors do when their government stands in their way - diplomacy and $$$.

[@thomasmann4536]

@@foxdavion6865 bsically, you pull all the same tricks you always pull at the start when playing small nations: go over forcelimit spamming mercs and throw money at the problem that you then take back from winning the war. There's nothing inherently new or challenging about it. Only more frustration bc of some bullshit modifiers. Paradox confuses relying on RNG with difficulty.

[@foxdavion6865]

@@thomasmann4536 Very true, but the devs want us to jump through hoops in this case, adding extra steps to fane gameplay. On the bright side, least 40% cost reduction means you can hire expensive good ones and not force you to take so many lones it takes 50 years to pay them all off.

Gonna be honest, I'm so disappointed in Paradox for not updating the flag of the Roman Empire tag. I really don't know why they don't replace the terrible looking low res flag that has been there for ages, when it's so easy to update. Other than that I'm very much looking forward to the DLC.

[@josephcola9662]

@chadpuckett80 any advice for a Trebizond game? Been trying to get one off the ground forever, and I keep running into a wall in the forms of the Turks and QQ. And the one time the stars lined up and I could dec on the Ottos while they were getting their asses handed to them in the Balkans, the Timurids of all people forced me to white peace.

[@cuniving7831]

Have made 43 attempts, not including restarts where i start with neg morale/diplo rep ruler which is common. Genoa rivals me every time, Venice rivals either me or the pope every time so i cant reduce the shipbuilding timer. The knights are alliable ~50% but almost always never leave Port or send troops so they dont help with holding the strait, i have seen them fight with their ships twice and both times they wouldnt join my navy. Georgia has never accepted land to enter the war and on the occasions where I got the favours they and the Ottomans had improved relations to an insurmountable point. Hungry and albania have rivalled Serbia every time so not an alliance option.

[@turbocheese1000]

A Balkans (including Hungary) or an HRE focused DLC would be nice imo, i love playing in the HRE and its sad that most nations don't have one

[@lewisyoutube4080]

Second this. HRE DLC sounds so obviously a good idea

[@ravenouself4181]

alexander's empire reborn? maybe with an easter egg that actiates if you fight a formed persia that would be a refference to the meeting between alexander and darius before the battle of gaugamela. or just reaching the location would give an event chain that would culminate in you finding alexander's tomb, you know, missions that would lead you to babylon where the culminating event fires.

[@starhaven1881]

HRE already had at least one big update. Although they are running out of places to give big overhauls to. Now its really about doing touch ups and improvements So its on the cards i'm sure. At least until EU5 is on the table.

[@NopeNothingD9]

HRE would be cool, America’s could really use some work imo especially South America. India would also be good

[@torum6448]

Yeah, i was thinking the same a balkan dlc would be quite awesome, Hungary,Serbia,Croatia,Wallachia,Moldavia (Romania), Albania. That or a DLC that focuses on post colonial nations like the USA, Canada, Mexico etc. (maybe make them actually likely to break away from their colonial overlords) Would also be a good opportunity to fix the whack colonial system.

[@gurgu95]

as a genoese i feel proud that they finally included Giovanni Giustiniani

[@InfiniteTimesEf]

one thing I've always wanted ever since the mission trees of nations started to get completely separate branches was different tabs for different non-connected parts of mission trees. something like what they did for the mission tree previews for persia would be actually perfect, since i'm having a hard time keeping up with all the missions in these newer patches due to the amount of scrolling you have to do in order to read some missions and whatnot.

[@AndysTake]

Excellent video, great use of the mechanics here. Awesome!

[@jacobcantrell82]

Despite having some reservations about the changes to Byzantium this actually looks a whole lot more fun than the earlier strat of just recruiting ships and rushing Gelibolu while the Ottomans are in Anatolia.

Thank you Ludi, i am starting to learn my game and play on my own. My vision of EU4 was kind of different, but few days ago it clicked for me. It's more of a diplomacy, stab someone in the back kind of game, then HOI4 where you just produce and commit to the campaign. All of Paradox is about stack multipliers, but since i play from few days (installed the game tons of times trough the years, just to play - quit, play - quit, now I made Eureka and i can build upon this), the game and all it's DLC's (pirated ofc), had so many buttons that were scattered everywhere... It's insane for a newbie to get around, and it's not just 3-4 dlcs. Anyway, thanks a lot and see you in the future when you lead your armies and i govern a small province defending. but i would prefer to be on the same team. Heil from Bulgaria!

It's honestly impressive you managed to do even the first war without taking a single loan. Your strat works but I always end it (the first war) with like 30 loans minimum and otto's money only repays for like 20 of them. This causes a lot of issues with inflation which costs admin points, which makes you fall back on admin tech, idea groups and coring thus hindering expansion...

Can't believe that this DLC made my old Byzantine save obselete right after I inherited France out of nowhere. 😔

[@Alvarvar]

If Paradox is reading this: I really enjoy when you have content for small or challenging nations, but making them snowball super hard early on (early than the 1500s I guess) kinda makes it more boring since the challenge is not there anymore. Would love to have a constant challenge - I think Anbennar does it super well with dissasters, events, mythical conquerors, magic, and more. I am sure something like that could be implemented into EU4.

[@perkalov]

A solution to the "snowball super hard" problem might be to not use every gamey tactic possible. Play a country like Holland without cheesing it. I only ever go for the meta knowleage cheesyness when trying to play countries that would otherwise be impossible. Like Byzantine that needs to snowball hard or you simply get gobbled up by the the Ottoman blob. I don't have the time to figure out thise kind of strats, so when playing "impossible" countries makes me check out someone that has time.

Wow that was really cool ! This will definitely be my first campaign in this DLC. Questions to you: * Do you see a strat with no mercs ?

Feedback pro PDX 😀: * I honestly don't like the sprites for Byzantium. The units look nothing like the eastern roman infantry of the time. They look more like an alternative history revisit of the Roman Empire. I was hoping to see a change in this DLC. * No love for the north-caucus nations 😢? It's such a fascinating region, my wife is from there and it's not fun much fun to play there. * One of my favorite mission trees as of late is that of Riga. The city strategy just gives so many ideas of how to play as an OPM.

If you ally with Wallachia before first Ottoman war, you can actually kill Sultan Mehmet. They have mission named Impale Sultan, which give them event to kill Mehmet when they occupy Ottomans capital, Edirne.
