[@Stephen64138]

For me, they did nothing but listen to the fans who played Ante Bellum and Mission-Gov Expanded for years and often prefered play with these mod than vanilla. That may be a good DLC, but it will remain bittersweet for me that Paradox makes the fans pay for their own work. By that, I think of the guy who made the Ante Bellum mode and who now work for them.

[@Old_Sealand]

Hei, I know you.

[@Stephen64138]

@Immortal Science of Hauntology That's what I have often said. Every time Paradox touches a mission tree, they feel obligated to make that nation the strongest one in the game. For no reason. It was the case for all african nations, before that for Siam, Austria etc... Now it's northern europe that is overpowered (and not just a little...)

[@norezi8130]

instead of having to develop for the Norway/Sweden loalty missions, you can just activate "support loyalists" via subject interaction if you have the DLC for that. You can deactivate it after you're done with the mission.

Another thing you could do to manage Liberty Desire is when taking Gotland and popping the Mission, pick the option to release Gotland as a vassal. That leaves you with 2 vassals (Gotland and Holstein) and you can activate the Strong Duchies privilege for a nice drop in Liberty Desire.

[@combrade-t]

Fairly certain that unique ship doctrine is pretty strong, manouvre allows more ships to get into the battle and do damage as it increases your combat width, so its often considered the most important pip for admirals, and admiral cost is a rare modifier although not the most useful.

[@immamyen]

Thank you for this very good and clear guide!

[@cameronhendricks5967]

One thing that I think might be cool to build into the guide is attacking Lithuania early, maybe around 23:00. I think they could potentially an even BETTER target than England (scottish vassal aside), because of the strategy of using the half cost subject transfer age ability (as the 3rd ability). Obviously does depend on if you can secure the alliance set for it, but I think it has often been worth it to use this age CB. Thanks for the video!

[@reverendteej]

Red Hawk! Please do more guides for the other countries! Your style of guides is PERFECT

[@misndjerdjer520]

[@kaue2382]

it might be worth releasing gotland as a vassal so you can give the nobility strong duchies which would make it easier to keep norway and sweden loyal and give yourself an extra diplo relation slot

[@liammcdermott1175]

May Elizabeth Rest In Peace

[@stevedaignault7986]

I tried six restarts yesterday and my AI Gotland allied Poland instead of Lithuania each time. I managed to get a war started against Gotland before the JP. But, Poland was still able to ally Lith after the war started and Lith promptly joined - not as a JP. I managed that and sieged down the island, but, they wouldn't peace out. I eventually gave up and did another restart and had to wait quite a while before I could get Gotland. Some great guides and entertaining commentary by our host. I get some great tips and tricks. My favorite game is various hybrid European starts where I expand and stabilize early and then pivot to Exploration and Expansion and make a bee line into the Caribbean through Ivory Coast and SA, through Panama (and next to Panama), across the Pacific into 'Cloves'-land and ANZ - maybe around 1505. The main tactic is firing the Diplo advisor until I get a Colonial Range guy. Then replace Exploration fairly quickly and do more conquest than colonization to gradually build a huge amount of wealth to keep up and catch up back in Europe. I eventually replace Expansion, too. These starts turn into huge empires by the Age of Revolutions and they are very fun. But, I almost never am able to finish my primary objective (which might be all of Mediterranean or whatever) and they're a lot of work with dicey tradeoffs when I am keeping so many troops in SE Asia and ANZ. The planetary movement of 28K armies island hopping back and forth to manage attrition.... No resemblance to reality.

[@methodkid93]

13:25 they can actually still take Livonian land because of the shared coastal zone. So taking Reval too would be necessary to completely lock them out.

[@nicolass.5275]

They have made nice additions to the map: new centers of trade and new trade goods apparently. I remember that Danzig was producing grain before. I think I will spend a lot of hours playing in the Baltic region in the next months...

[@norezi8130]

Yeah I got Faceting in Danzig as Denmark because it produces Gems like Konigsberg

[@andreascj73]

I usually vasalize Riga and Sapmi, so I can get the Strong Duchies, even when I annex Slesvig-Holstein. Gotland spews out ships at a huge rate, particularly when you get the tier 2 Grand Shipyard and the Impressment Office.

[@odins5043]

[@jonasnee]

the updates to the provinces are nice, sjælland now finally has a trade port (kinda silly it didn't but oh well) and danzig now has gems rather than grain, making it a MUCH more valuable province, perhaps the most valuable province in the game, at least rivalling constantinople, london, sjælland and sevillia.

[@Rullino32]

You could also mention the glass provinces which also give the chance for it, especially Siena.

[@jonasnee]

@@Rullino32 siena doesnt have any trade centers, that is what makes danzig so special, it has both a center of trade, estuary and now gems along with farmlands. london is the same but with cloth. sjælland has fish but also the 2 others. sevilla has "port to the new world" as a modifier, giving +20 trade power on top of estuary and center of trade. constantinople is the most comparable to danzig producing glass.

One thing I don't really like, is that exploiting your subjects is the beat move if you have the experience. All that happens is they don't like you, but they don't even get any maluses. Realiatically you get a goods produced modifiers and all that, but shouldn't the tradeoff be, that they either loose dev, or some other things, so that they are a lot weaker as a subject and also later on when you integrate them?

Deving a subjects province is a double edged sword. Sure, you can use it very rarely to prevent >50% liberty desire and rivals supporting their independence. But it can snowball into making your subject stronger which equals more liberty desire. Imo you should only use it like Hawk did at the start of this guide.
