Been watching your guides (and A to z of course!) for a while now, and I just want to say that I think they're incredibly well done. By some distance the best I have found! I love the detail, and the fact that you explain the WHY for these small details. I am still relatively new with only 500 ish hours in the game, and while I am somewhat competent there are so many nuances to this game that all these little bits of information are very helpful to improve as a player and understand the game better.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH WITH THOSE BURGUNDY GUIDES

[@tmax98]

As others have said, you won't be able to declare independence right away. Hawk is mistaken, but got lucky with the event. However, you can basically either declare conquest immediately(since you have claims on all France's lands) or you can wait for the Burgundian Inheritance incident to fire. Then France usually gives the land up and releases a bunch of countries. Once the incident fires, you then will be able to declare independence. It's totally fine because you retain cores on all the low countries land you previously held. So you can handle the France war, then wait for the truce to expire then take it all back in reconquest. In the meantime between Independence and reconquest of the low countries, you can ensure you get into the HRE. Having the emperor as an Ally and high opinion makes this very likely. Then you can simply take all that low country land in a handful of easy wars(all of em may just ally each other). Plus, this allows you to move your capital to the much more optimal Amsterdam.

[@TheFraps1]

Unlucky that I'm just finishing my Burgundy into Lotharingia campaign (almost 1800) on the day this guide comes out. Will definitely keep in mind the suggestions to wait out the truce before abdicating so Austria doesn't demand the lowlands, and to switch my capital to the lowlands to prevent the Dutch revolt. Both of which happened to me in my game lol. Anyways, amazing guide as always!

[@szabolcsambrus523]

If you want your capital in Amsterdam just remove it from the HRE and you save admin points since its cheaper to move there Than to Brugge.

[@radamelsalkao1314]

You can also delay Burgundian inheritance to 1500s by save scumming and saving Charles, that way 99% of the time Marie will die soon after you fall under PU and you get that event to declare war on France. Just a tip if you dont want to lose stab by declaring independance war. Also if you are struggling in the first war with the French you can first do that mission that gives liberty desire to their vassals and it will be an easy war. Nice video!

[@eragon8643]

I would recommend to focus on Military points because with an advisor you can get tec 4 very early so that the French armies have no chance of winning battles.

[@Thorjwj007]

Yeah, I agree. He's also kind of underselling how painful this first war with France can be otherwise. Trying to do it myself right now and its awful, even with Castile and Aragon helping. Focusing mil from the start to beat the French to tech 4 actually gives your armies a chance at beating them. And go offensive instead of diplo. I know it's useful for the HRE stuff, but Charles is 2/0/4 and these first couple wars with France are the hardest part of this campaign. The guide he made for the previous patch is a little easier imo, with important caveat that Charles can abdicate now.

Burgundy is so good that it can, by manuvering the Burgundian succession, get PU CB on all electors

Pretty sure you can't declare independance war against france if the lowland crisis is up in the HRE. Also for some reason the transfer subject from the age objective let you vassalize lorraine for very low AE

Video title: annex france instantly Video: played for 60 years and france still exists

[@SolarFlareAmerica]

14:30 missed opportunity to grab all of Bar. I know RH said not to, but here's why I would reccomend it anyways. 1. Provence had actually REMOVED barrois from the empire, thats a noticable difference in AE, among other benefits. 2. Taking it now prevents Provence from moving his capital there in case he loses provence proper to the Pope or Savoy (or Aragon, rarely enough.) 3. You need a certain province count in the France region to finish the mission that gets France's vassals to defect, this helps with that. 4. Taking at least the single higher developed province in Bar means that between Anjou and the remaining province, Anjou is likely to be Provence's capital should he lose provence proper to the Pope like most games. It also means he won't change his capital to the province in Bar, as the AI likes to do when there's more dev. there, further enabling provence to join the HRE, making finishing him off much harder. Alternatively, RH should have quickly warned Brittany, as this would dissuade him from taking Anjou like he usually does, meaning Provence is likely to move his capital there if he loses provence proper. EDIT: As seen later in the video, 17:30 , Provence WAS forced into the empire. Just sayin'.

[@Valiere2024]

If you get a mission for Picardy claims on England and you declare on them before France, they'll surrender Maine without a fight but you can take on the stuff on the north coast of France with minimal struggle. Also I haven't tried yet but I assume you can still get a early PU over Bohemia if they rival Austria and Austria won't intervene.

[@sander0209]

Would during the first war for Champagne's cores you not be able to take a core of Toulouse, as well as Gascony? That would give you most of southern France as well

[@LVRugger]

My last run was for the Burgundy cheevos - This is similar to how I played. Crazy fun nation to play.

[@tomhavenith2330]

It's a nice strategy. However I think it could be improved by integrating nevers at 1449. Because you are always way above the relationship limit having nevers costs you 1 diplo every month. It should cost you some 70 Diplo to integrate it. So having nevers around till 1484... costs you al lot of Diplo.

[@yxolloxy3273]

soo.. came here for some info on the inheritance and it struck me that I did the start of my run different; I got castille, Austria and popeman as allies, but they weren't really interested in helping in the first war, however I did get the league of the public weal mission done before declaring and I solo'd france with a force limit + merc stack (had a bit of cash saved up) and with micro managing my vassals / PU's to make sure they didn't attack france's vassals (which was a pain). I will say that as long as the vassal don't bug out and actually start helping france in the war it's doable (it pretty much crashed my economy for a couple of years though) anyway; came here to see the recommendations after Marie is offered as heir as I haven't really played burgundy before; so time to watch on :D edit: so I started playing again; and within 10 minutes I got a PU over austria... this is going to be nuts once the inheritance actually triggers

[@antimatterg]

Lmao austrian inheritance

[@misteryjeux]

for 24:30,you don't have that option because Paradox removed the independance casus belli from Burgundy before the imperial event for the lowlands conclude,so you don't cheese it like you're doing (clearly it doesn't work as you're showing,since you can use regular casus belli instead that a personal union can't use normally,because they just replaced the casus belli table from the subject option to regular,the event making it so you inherit all vassals is also lazily coded to allow the reconquest exploit) Edit : You can't finish the succesion mission until 1500 regardless of what happens,since the imperial incident doesn't get resolved properly.

[@TheTimster02]

I also ran into this, though it seems you can break free through the other cb's, although you won't get supported for your independence then. You could also wait for the independence event but that loses you the lowlands unless you save scum for it.

[@misteryjeux]

@@TheTimster02 yes,that's exactly how it works,the only reason he had people supporting him is because he had the event. the way you inherit people is also really weird,since you can inherit the whole French Region,sure,including britanny or provence if you pu'ed/vassalized them,but you can't inherit something like Naples (they get transferred to france),BUT you can also inherit bohemia for exemple (it's also not that hard to do at the start,so it's kinda insane) So I have no idea what country is ok to inherit via the event. edit : you can inherit everybody that has a capital in the french region,or in the holy roman empire,so you can't have anybody in Iberia,Italy,The British Isles,Denmark,Hungary or Poland,but everybody in the middle of those nations is free integration,even if they're at 100 liberty desire.

After resolving the Burgundian Inheritance, isn't it better to let the Imperial Incident about Burgundian Membership fire, and then for the Emperor to reject you by being their rival? I'm not sure if it's been updated but when it first came out the Emperor denying your membership gives Burgundy Personal Union/Subjugation CBs on all the Electors, and since four of them are Monarchies that's another way to give you four easy votes at the same time as massively boosting your power.

[@damjanaluzar1866]

I really like almost all your nation guides but one thing that I think you don't always get right is the ideas you should pick. Imo, quantity and then economic are the two best ideas and you should be taking them in every campaign. The -10% development cost policy you get is just so vital to scaling better than the enemy. Also quantity is just the best military idea hands down. The only other one that can maybe try and rival it is defensive but even defensive is only good if you have enough manpower naturally.

Bonus fact, sometimes when you are fighting Provence, Britany and France jump in and fight them as well. When you vassalize Provence you will fight France and Britany, so you can vassalize Britany as well and demand the cores back from France and get Paris. This can happen way before you 2nd truce with France expires. So when the Burgundian event fires, you can insta annex almost all France. xD
