I need a guide for Ottawa, please! I can't get my economy or military collected in time for when England arrives!

[@Kris-lu1rs]

Would be cool to see Moldova/Wallachia into Romania guide! I know that one depends a lot on rpg, but its a really fun nation to form and play as :)

[@mathiasdiernhofer7714]

would highly appreciate a Korea or Provence Guide

[@KingOfTheHollows]

Why not new Aragon, Burgundy and Mughals guides

[@swan9506]

Genoa is an underrated option

[@owenfink]

Getting the "Iberia or Iberia" achievement was the most fun I've had in this game. I highly recommend trying for it. And for an added bonus, you can try to do what I did: Have all vassals integrated and your borders contiguous by stretching all the way from Iberia, southern France, northern Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Anatolia, to Iberia.

[@BogoceDesMontagnes]

You could also try getting this achievement while also being holy Roman emperor, a colonial nation and own big countries like France Poland Castille etc under a pu to get the most ridiculous run Never done it but might try it one day

[@TheRedHawk]

Fun achievement, got it in season A in A to Z two years ago

[@InfiniteTimesEf]

@@TheRedHawk has it been 2 years already??? damn...

[@epicarcher999]

@@TheRedHawk that was two years ago??? Man sometimes I forget how big a commitment you actually made when you started that series

[@dVector13]

I didn't know that albania had a unique government, a 45% base defensiveness is absolutely insane, and thats not even counting the bonus to defensiveness from mountains!

[@rhysgoodwin9928]

Yeah, it was added with Domination along with a bunch of unique govts to places like Scotland.

Youngsters have it easy. Back in my days, Albania only had 1 province ! More seriously, I truly enjoy your guides, thanks for making them. Even for more experienced players like me, these guides are quite useful, as well as entertaining !

[@blazingpelt]

31:37 Transfer Trade Power is worth +1 opinion per 5% transferred, up to 10 for 50%. One more useful opinion source for potential vassals

[@Mattis06]

Europa expanded has a pretty good mission tree for Albania so if you dont care about achievements then use that.

[@recklesspotato8657]

At 31:30 you could do Transfer Trade Power with Syria to get some extra opinion for the vassalization.

[@berkay_gunay]

In 31:44 you can take Transfer Trade Power action for extra relations. It should be 10 or something.

[@Yopxds]

imagin a youtuber making a guide for a not completely overpowering nations that steamrole everythingm thats so eazy that a todler could play it without a guide. thanks for actually looking at the other nations in this game (not incl your a-z etc, good videos :D)

[@dankaroor]

RED AND BLACK I DRESS EAGLE ON MY CHEST GOOD TO BE ALBANIAN

[@tanaypandit7262]

Zero dislikes, yet another masterpiece Red Hawk

[@berraie]

What dislike removal does to a man

[@pileofcheese5017]

I personally recommend not releasing Byz and shifting to greek culture. Albanian is quite small, so you probably shouldn't have to unstate anything, which means that after flipping to Orthodox you can reform byzantium. This way you get to take advantage of their very strong missions and ideas, without having the starting estate debuffs. This does mean you can't get the Iberia or Iberia achievement though, so keep that in mind.

[@CherriPicking]

As far as I'm aware, forming another nation doesn't disable Albania from getting the achievement, it only requires you start as Albania and not be playing as a released subject, so reforming Byzantium shouldn't disable the achievement!

[@coitburghiu6484]

Lovely video to pop up on my feed

[@lantredasphodele5858]

Man I wish I could see the rest of this campaign !

[@pg203]

if you ask syria to get trade power you get +10 opinion so you dont have to wait for AE

[@berraie]

I love semi-obscue nations like this! More of this, please!

[@person1796]

Could you do a guide for Vijayanagar or other Indian nations?

[@TheRedHawk]

Yeah sure

[@ralakili]

@@TheRedHawk But not Vijayanagar. It should be Merwar. Not that I need a guide but Merwar is the hidden champion and underrated. Would be fun to watch you play them. Merwar never changes.

[@zaidarida750]

@@ralakili Bengal has very good ideas, especially their bonus to artillery damage which is very good late game

[@sandercohen5543]

Don't underestimate the "support rebels" feature. If you are cutting the ottomans in two, you can free states like bulgaria without resorting to war, as the ottomans will not be able to reach europe, unless they get military access. Once they pop out of the ottomans, you can either fight them or ally/vassalize them, without anyone interfering.

[@Bagman666]

31:36 you didnt transfer trade power, it gives +10 relations... ;p

[@MaitreWham]

Be careful that Hungary may sometimes rival Aragon, it happened in my game and i could only ally them when hungary rivaled me after i have conquered all of the balkans. Dont forget to mention that the ottomans often declare to Venice, wich could be an opportunity to declare yourself instead of just waiting for the ottomans to declare a war in anatolia. I also had a test game in wich i couldnt hire a diplo rep advisor, thus i needed to improve relations with hungary and aragon in order to royal marry them. Love your guides dude

[@Anomymer]

Wouldn't switching culture to greek and forming Byz be much more efficient after picking up the permanent +1mil power? Especially now with the new DLC ?

[@RomanGods1]

That was what I was thinking the new misson tree is really good as well

[@kevinboros7427]

Well yeah, but then you can't say "RED AND BLACK I DRESS, EAGLE ON MY CHEST". It's better to just play Byzantium from the start in that case, I think. But then again, I'm just not a fan of cultural shifts in general.

[@Anomymer]

Would pretty much be a normal Byz play through but without all the debuffs you'd otherwise have

[@RomanGods1]

@@kevinboros7427 I agree in principle but with the addition of the new mission tree and how fun it is in this spesfic case I do think it is worth it. Especially with Pronoias and things.

[@kevinboros7427]

@@RomanGods1 Yeah, I know. But it just doesn't feel right to me. Albania is Albania and Byzantium is Byzantium, and I kind of like it that way. But that's because I tend to focus a lot more on telling a story with my games, rather than striving for efficiency all the time.

[@cuniving7831]

Can someone correct me if im wrong but enforcing religion on any Anatolian/levantine OPM's you get is also potentially a good idea, since their just a single province, their capital, the liberty malus for enforcing shouldn't be an issue and they will convert Sunni land for free for you as you reconquer their cores

[@Oujouj426]

Force converting via the vassal interface is a flat +100 liberty desire, no matter their size.

[@LouGuberti]

Me: (Screaming, Crying, Throwing up) just return cores to vassals optimally. Please just once! Hawk: Nahhhhhhhh

I did a couple of test runs (approx. 10) with this strat but I could never call in all three allies. Aragon or Hungary always have -60 attitude towards enemys. Furthermore even when I wait for a war in Anatolia, after 1 year a 22k stack is back at the balkans. Any advice?
