In this video titledEU4 A to Z - Becoming The PLAYING TALL SPICE MASTER As Holland I do a playthrough as Holland in Europa Universalis 4 1.34 Lions of The North. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of Holland and I attempt to form The Netherlands and become the world's leading producer of spices. So, let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

As Holstein control/form Scandinavia and destroy the HRE.

[@Ronutzz]

I think of the Kiel canal when I think of Holstein so take the Panama Canal and Suez Canal and become the canal king

[@yogurt4life358]

Form Scandinavia :D

[@hs5312]

own provinces in Denmark and Prussia

[@electricVGC]

Build the Kiel Canal

[@spudzzy0373]

As Holstein you should control Panama and Suez since you would then hold all 3 buildable canals in the game (which you wont do, keeping the world hostage forever)

[@TheBoyer19]

That's an awesome idea!!!

[@victorhugofranciscon7899]

Wait there is a way to build the canals in the game? I thought that the campaign ended too early for that

[@socksome]

@@victorhugofranciscon7899 nope, just need admin tech 22.

[@XSpamDragonX]

@@victorhugofranciscon7899 It didnt happen IRL but the game lets you build them early if you are truly wealthy enough late game.

[@spudzzy0373]

@@victorhugofranciscon7899 yeah you can build the 3 canals as long as you have adm tech 20 i think and control the provinces needed

[@Imperial_stroopwafel]

I love how the brazillian provinces that the red hawk colonized were actually a Dutch colony for some time as well with its capital as Mauritsstad now known as Recife.

He colonized through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own empire! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9 dev, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands off the Lowlands! But not our Holland! Couldn't be precious Holland! Conquering them blind! And HE gets to be a hegemon? What a sick joke! I should've conquered him when I had the chance!

Facts

[@perturbedbatman2009]

I usually just province hop to avoid losing so many ships and troops. Like, in your situation, I would've gone to the colony in West Africa first, wait for repairs, hop to South Africa, wait again, hop to the island you colonized, wait if necessary, and then get to the provinces in Indonesia. Takes longer, but you'd have to wait to make more troops and ships anyway if you go straight there.

Manually assigning a route for your fleet that preferably never goes through ocean tiles also helps.

[@areliatwidale6785]

I realized I've played too much of this game when I started cringing every time red hawk referred to market share as the amount of spices he was producing 😂. For people who don't know market share is how much trade power you have in places that produce that good (e.g. spices) multiplied by the amount of that good in the node (e.g. if a trade node has 3 goods produced of spices locally and you have 50% trade power there, then you have a market share of 1.5 goods produced, which is then divided by total goods produced to get the percentage shown in the ledger)

[@2Links]

Man's majored in EU4 trade

[@NoblePaysan]

What's territying is that i learn even more in the comments than with the videos.

[@efulmer8675]

RedHawk, Malacca has higher trade dominance (they do actually produce less than you because you are the production leader) than you because they're funneling more of the trade value from spices into the Malacca trade node. If you set up your merchants to steer the trade from Malacca towards the English Channel, your trade dominance would go up while Malacca's would go down because you're moving the trade value of spices away from them. Also, you don't need a merchant in the South Africa node a lot of times as trade power in West Africa will either draw it on naturally, or another country will put a merchant to steer it out of the node without you having to do it yourself.

[@impo997]

as Holstein, own every single trade center in Lubeck and the Baltic nodes

[@johnpiccolini3305]

As Holstein you should own enough livestock to get the associated bonus since we all know the most known cow in the world is the Holstein cow.

I have watched every one of your A to Z videos thus far. I just caught up with some of your earlier ones. 1. I question the priorities of my life. 2. Amazing job keeping the series going! Seriously, good stuff. 3. The difference between your earliest runs compared to these latest one are night and day! Omg I was yelling at the screen at times, it was painful watching you lose so often (especially when it was because of a certain pesky hotkey...or hotC :P ) 4. You have improved both as a player and as a caster, I feel like you're so much more confident and competent now compared to before. And even when you lose now, you still keep a good attitude and keep it interesting. Thanks for all the videos.

[@finnesse359]

nice lil kekw intro moment 😁

[@morgomir7671]

Isn't market share (the thing that Malaca had more than you) information about how much they make from trading spices? Like you produced more than them but they had bigger trade influence in trade node so they get more money from your goods?

[@danielmacpherson8487]

Yeah they were doing that in 1.33 too, it's annoying but it makes a lot of sense, yet somehow Denmark never drops a sweden with England, Novgorod, Muscovy, Poland, Lithuania and Bohemia supporting their independence.
