EU4 A to Z - I Declared WAR On EVERYONE As The SMALLEST NATION In EU4

In this video titled EU4 A to Z - I Declared WAR On EVERYONE As The SMALLEST NATION In EU4 I play as So in Europa Universalis 4 1.37 Winds of Change. The most beloved pirate nation in EU4 of all time.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 So and I attempt to conquer every pirate province in EU4 all while completing the two worst idea groups in the game - Naval and Maritime 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.

Red Hawk: You guys hate me. Red Hawk, 2 minutes later: Just for funsies, I combined all of your terrible ideas, of my own volition.

[@ruffusgoodman4137]

He's wrong, not because of his crazy idea of combining terrible ideas. He's wrong thinking that we hate him.

[@jumpanama]

In Civilization V, Songhai is considered one of the best civilizations to play as for a Domination Victory (Conquer All other Civs' original capitals). So for this challenge, load up a game of Civ V as Songhai and choose 7 random other nations on any difficulty. Your goal as Songhai is to get a domination victory by capturing the original capitals of the 7 other Civilizations in Civ V, then capturing the original capitals of those same 7 countries in EUIV. Good luck and hopefully you don't get France or China!

[@olegsova6920]

The best idea I’ve read

[@ursulcx299]

I like that one a lot, although I think asking a win in civ 5 on top of a ey4 campaing is a bit too much for one video.

[@freespiritedd]

@@ursulcx299 It can be divided into two parts. Very interesting idea. Although China conquest ones are also good. It would be amazing if he does all the suggestions 😂

[@carltonleboss]

This is a great idea.

[@mathiasmueller9693]

Maybe just load civ and see what they give as your opponents and transfer that to eu4. Or we could watch a civ 5 video. I'm down for that!

Good suggestion. I like how there are multiple ways he could approach this (explo and sea hopping, snake over land, etc) and it's just taking the mandate, no need for the extra mundanity of actually conquering all of China afterwards.

As Songhai, since it was basically defeated by a Spanish-Moroccan general (Judar Pasha), take revenge and defeat Morocco and Spain (Castille and Aragon) and make them not exist.

[@alexanderzakel9793]

Even at its peak, Songhai did not have maritime borders. Continue the tradition by conquering or colonizing every non-maritime province in Africa.

[@connordelaney6254]

That's So East Africa had me burst out laughing

[@JetFuelSE]

As Sweden, you should unite Scandinavia, make Muscovy not exist, and take Constantinople, changing the name to Miklagård (the Viking name for Constantinople). Bonus points: Colonize North America and have Vinland own all of modern-day Canada.

[@noahengelstad1253]

It’s not hate, Hawk. We just have that much confidence in your ability to do the absurd, or if nothing else, fail in the most entertaining way.

[@noahengelstad1253]

Songhai has the word song in it. So, as Songhai, conquer the province in eu4, where the first song was made, Tarabulus. Also, complete the mission tree and conquer all of Africa. Also, the nation of Solon in Manchuria is before Songhai, and it has unique ideas. It would be the only nation in Manchuria you will have played, so if you plan to do Solon, conquer Beijing and Moscow to get revenge.

[@Interns-Eternal-Empire]

He should also form Manchu

[@Podzhagitel]

… the first song???

[@mr.sellout6284]

@@Interns-Eternal-Empire Solon is not Jurchen, it's Evenki

[@MrBattlecharge]

“Hurrian Hymn No. 6” is considered the world’s earliest melody, but the oldest musical composition to have survived in its entirety is a first century A.D. Greek tune known as the “Seikilos Epitaph.”

[@DisKKJ]

As songhai, conquer every nation with "so" in their name.

[@thirdeyefocus6255]

So, Sofala, Solon - that's it. Somalia is a formable and a couple releasables starting with "So".

[@bjornhurrdurrsson]

As Songhai, choose your favorite SONG, conquer province where the singer is from, and sing that song to us!

[@ursulcx299]

Whatever the objective you end up doing as Song(hai), you should totally write and sing a song about how the campaign went at the end of the video

[@kraezy1456]

Dude, amazing you played So! I think I dismissed the pirate event or is DLC required? Well Piracy seems hella fun! I started a Trade So run some time ago, since pink is a top tier colour and ghost of tsushima, planned on going kirishitan and hitting reformed, surprisingly enough I later got a MAHAYANA event (linked with different goverment options) that let me switch to said religion which made the pink japan even more pink, no need to say I instantly allied Dai Viet so theyre not so alone anymore. Was gonna move my trade capital to malacca later I think, also Pink Australia.
