EU4 - Timelapse - MEIOU and Taxes 2.0 - Persian Empire (Showing Population Growth)

[@NickTheNickname]

Ah yes, the Ansari monarchy was overthrown, and replaced by the grand visier, also... an Ansari who made himself dictator. well then...

[@frostyrvn]

This video is kinda weird cause my last name is Al-Ansari , who knows if in alternative universe I became the king of Persia

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

[@williamlag7939]

Really money is way more important than monarch points in meiou and taxes, and I'm very thankful for that. Whereas before the prosperity of your nation was based on luck alone, now you can build up your nation and its institutions through skill. Plus all the new feautures that make the game harder, make it also way more fun. Well done dovska and well done creator of this mod.

[@Worldslargestipod]

Does this mod work with the current patches? If I launch it with the most recent EU4 patch, the game will crash at the launch screen. If I revert to a previous version, the mod will say it's incompatible with that version.

[@Mekesi1]

Yes. But you need to download the mod ou the Paradox Forum. The 2.0 is not yet on the workshop

[@Worldslargestipod]

got it, thx.

[@remansparadox8604]

Great video! It looks like it took a looooooong time to make.

[@vitorleite3095]

Yeah, i love EU4 because the community have a real love of the game and always make great contents.

[@imperatorodaenathus9329]

I loved your video explaining this mod. Thanks for making it, it made this video so much easier to understand.

[@Dovska]

Thanks man! Love your stuff! Indeed it took quite a while to make but I think it was well worth it :)

[@ScrapperTBP]

I love the new layout and the way to explain your wars.

[@sirmount2636]

It's like reading a history article.

[@Emperor2Goodyy]

MAD Detail. Very high quality video.

[@Diamond_Dude30]

11:33 The Ansari monarchy has been replaced by The Ansari republic!

[@ODiochan]

The effort put into this video is amazing as always. Constant quality from your videos man, and you make EUIV a story as well as a game. Hope you keep it up to come yet, however whatever happened to the mega campaign?

[@KrzychuGamingPL]

Yep, the effort is enormous, gigantic.

[@flyingpirate0456]

TheMonocledMenace Well he has to so he can stay relevant amidst his competitors

[@Dovska]

I had to delay the mega campaign due to school taking up a lot of my free time, and now that I'm not far from finally having my fiber installed I decided to wait until it arrives so that I can live stream it :) So currently the ETA for the mega campaign is sometime in August :)

[@thunderstruck7691]

Hur gammal är du? Går du i gymnasiet eller universitet?

[@Dovska]

Går sista året på gymnasiet! Tar studenten på fredag :)

[@eriksmith6089]

This mod looks amazing. Seems like the creator put a lot of effort into having the player administer their lands and conduct proper diplomacy in this, rather than blob endlessly. I doubt I'll be seeing any Ryukyu One-Tags out of this mod though.

[@Dovska]

I see that as a very good thing TBH. After having done nothing but blob in all my other timelapse videos it feels pretty good to play somewhat tall and more historically realistic :)

[@eriksmith6089]

Yeah, I think one of the bigger issues with EU4 is how easy it is to conquer other countries, how one-off an issue over-extension is, how there's very little rivalry between neighboring countries because somebody gets eaten straight-away and then it's just snowballing from there. You having difficulty counter-invading Malta, for example, was super cool to me, because they bothered to simulate the difficulty of invading into mountains, as well as the population growth factor. Definitely gonna have to check this mod out.

[@andypaul1503]

Having never seen an MEIOU run before, I found it a welcome change to see this! the focus seems to be much more local, than global, given how, as you noted, you had to go through the inner logistics of setting up minor capitals, and acquiring roads. It seemed much more realistic for how nations would have actually grown, instead of the whole "small nation owning china" that can be found. I really want to give it a try now, if I can find some way to learn the logistics of it.

[@roylandmaines299]

Erik Smith is your profile skywind or am I mistaken

[@eriksmith6089]

Royland Maines You are correct, though I really just searched up the Morrowind Moon and Star and picked the prettiest color scheme.

[@manahanjulsbernardd.6793]

ansaris still rules Persia when the monarchy fell, lol

[@barbarossabartolomeu9984]

As an Iranian this put a tier into my eye. Much love like always! I adore how you manage to add a story to all of your videos. I would love to see something Romania related later on.

[@TexasKosmonawt]

I love timelapse videos, but this one is amazing! This one has been made into a story which I like very much. You, sir, just earned a new subscriber! Keep these videos going with the quality, mate!

[@leetf8522]

"End the Mamluk Sultanate" If that was in vanilla EU4, imagine how big the Ottos would be in every day campaigns, oh God...

[@rubie8410]

Lee TF like they don't already do that ?

[@khaak2390]

The ottomans usually tend to blob quite badly until 1700. That's usually (at least in every single campaign ive ran) their massive modifiers (jannisaries) run out, they get overrun by rebels, enter too many wars, lose all the manpower and slowly start crumbling.

[@iguanacamuflada1060]

That was fucking amazing.

[@tomasbriggs4724]

I came to say the exact same thing

[@literallynothinghere9089]

The amount of time and hard work you put in these videos is simply amazing.Its like a video aar.I like how you combine even the smallest of details to make a long tale.Liked.Keep up the good work.I subscribed you since the time you had only 4 videos.At that time you were the best but now you have crossed all boundaries to give us nothing but the best content.

[@Whisk3yKnight]

One of my favorite conquests. Great Job! (Especially within renaming the capital Shahabad.Love the immersion)

[@TheGrouch91]

Man if only that mod wouldn't slow down the game so much. Too bad the engine isn't really capable of handling all the calculations in the background. But maybe it's just my mediocre laptop...

[@mounttargonproductions6713]

1.99.03 (the last patch) has improved the speed on lower-end computers quite a bit. Try it out if you got the the time and bandwith to spend!

[@Deriak27Forever]

+Mount Targon Productions Where can I check the patch details?

[@TheGrouch91]

Thanks. I'll check it out.

[@mounttargonproductions6713]

In the download thread linked in the video's description, the changelog is in the same thread.

[@omulxd]

yea I remember in the old patch i barely managed speed 2 now it works on speed 4 just fine

[@swagstudios5678]

We neeeeeeeeed more time-lapses just like this you out did yourself awesome job man 👍👍👍👍👍

[@elliotallan4749]

The quality of this vid is through the roof. Don't stop. Please. I want more of this.

[@Dovska]

I wont stop, I will definitely do more :)

[@ActualFidelCashflo]

These videos are amazing and its awesome to watch you form empires. But this mod is actual one of the coolest I've seen for EU. Definately giving this a try.

[@wholesome2399]

I hope we will see ore of Meiou and Taxes 2.0 mod timelapses. These revorked provinces look great!

[@lyra5366]

Your videos are a delight to watch: really good quality and editing and it is as if I was watching a story rather than a simple timelapse. You are one of the reasons I fell in love with these sorts of games and I really can't wait to watch your other videos 💖

[@antonhaatyla4267]

I love your videos because you play so immersive and make the timelapse into a great story, most EU4 timelapses are just a showoff how big you can blob which is very boring (unless it's a mongolia run), you always show the struggle and epicness of the great battles and rivalries. I always look forward to your new videos!

[@euschi3848]

That was an extremely well done video good job Dovska. Now u gave me a reason to check out that mod.

[@NothingButRye]

WOW! Such an awesome campaign! MEIOU and Taxes is a great mod, and the new version is amazing! The effort and quality you put into your timelapses is just astonishing. Keep it up :D

[@ricardoponcefernandez6339]

Hi, just wanted to say that the way you do the timelapse its really good. I expect more like this!

[@colinmerritt7645]

This is my favorite of your timelapses. The detail is amazing

[@wrakytv3350]

WOW the new interface and the new map all is amazing good job !

[@jakubpawowski893]

White I really despised your older videos for constant blobing, this one is magnificent. MEIOU and your storytelling make this a perfect video. I watched it all without any breaks. Keep it coming and ill be sure to be your guest:)

[@Dovska]

Thanks! This is going to be new format of my timelapse videos going forward so I will definitely keep it coming! :)

[@jakubpawowski893]

Dovska also a great thing to see you reply to comments! Personally I loved how you had difficulties with Multan, it made this run pretty special. Once again, well done, ill be sure to visit you some more.

[@abdullahcaneli1574]

[@dogukan127]

Man this was great work. Thanks for the effort.

[@skysthelimit1982]

I like that you narrate whats going on here. It's so much more interesting than watching ink stains spread across the map with no context. That's only fun for about 20 seconds.

[@gr8max254]

This video was amazing, great job on everything :)

[@PureIrisGaming]

this vid was amazing dude really nicely done

[@iltizioerrante7239]

Funfact: i'm italian and, in Italy, the date is "02/07/2017", but in the description it say "published on 3 June 2017". So this video is from the future

[@mannymejia4339]

His videos quality is amazing! Also if you take campaign suggestions. I'd love to see an Italian Empire rise I'm the mod. Maybe even try colonizing after unifying the peninsula.

[@Ahreta]

This was incredible! M&T is so much richer and more interesting than the base game.

[@joewebb6430]

This captures what's I really like about MEIOU. I really feel like I'm empire-building.

I like the system you developed with the roadways into the capital, it's kinda similar to the actually highway system developed by the persian empire.

[@toxictalon74]

Didn't reach the height of the Achaemenid Empire in the west, but the east and North went ever further than before. Good job!

[@Alexander99602]

This mod actually make playing to have a rather small empire with just a good network of client state worthwhile, I mean, I like watching number in cities and doing admin stuff :))

[@montrocity1806]

Please more This is like a story on it's own.

[@sik3xploit]

The Kazakh Horde and Sibir were having a hard time making up their minds it seems!

[@gengarzilla1685]

So, uh... They got rid of the monarchy but let one of that dynasty lead the new republic? There's really only one way that could have gone.

[@emocowboy4684]

I love how the flag changes based on the family ruling the country

[@Larde66]

Awsome work and editing, small thing: picture of your capital province would have been good to see the modifiers.

[@ethanmcardle3215]

I’m getting a in the house in a heart beat vibe here

[@ellidominusser1138]

I fucking love this mod the fact alone that the ottomans full annexed the mamluks and the AI attacked you when you were weakest is next gen technology in terms of strategy gaming, and the regional capitals are cool too. The only bad thing here is the ottomans staying in an alliance with you for pretty much the entire game and refusing to attack you even when you were quite weak. Other than that, might be my favorite game of all time

lovely stuff

[@neutralfellow9736]

Very nice video. Just a little nit, what the hell is that country that formed in Croatia at 13:18? I can't see, the letters are too small.

[@roylandmaines299]

did the flag actually change at 3:35 ? if not, your attention to detail is outstanding. you even changed the flag to represent a new dynasty. a better looking one tbh

[@gekkenhuisje]

Spectacular Detail!

[@kukia4050]

3:01 - civil war in the year 1383, not 1583. ^-^' Great video :P

[@Zealeys]

"Wow, That's big"

[@Xvey100]

3:04 a civil war broke out in 1583? is that meant to be 1383? great video none the less though! well done

[@paultato8485]

I love this video very much and want to learn what MEIOU and Taxes 2 is like. Only complaint is that a lot of the years are wrong (1747 instead of something 1447, I think it was a recurring error)

[@Dovska]

Yeah I messed up two times with the dates. I will be more careful with that in the future.

[@Ghivcftyhhvvcfyyh]

Holy crap how did Nuremburg nearly unite germany 14:20?

[@EmperorCracker]

[@Liberater4589]

the coolest part i think about meiou and taxes now is that your population/development will go down when your men die in war

[@8jijjoo126]

This is 3 years late but christ man, i could relate hard with the low CE problems, could barely control any land in Persia when i played as them,

[@kennethhescott4720]

You should do MEIOU and Taxes again, but this time as the Empire of the Romans. Try and restore some of the Roman Empire, it'll be seen as very difficult.

I wouldn't as it goes against everything I stand for. Not everyone in the world is completely blinded by greed. Besides, that isn't an argument. Why would anyone be a monarchist?

[@kstar234yt]
