As Saxe Lauenburg, conquer provinces in the HRE, so that your borders are shaped like a saxophone.

[@Helly_x]

as Saxe Lauenburg, conquer all of skandinavia

[@IronWolf123]

Conquer all of Historical Saxony (Old Saxony), Modern Saxony (Anhalt and Dresden states) and own all of Anglo-Saxon lands in England (Basically England)

[@wilkoufert8758]

As Lauenburg originally was called „Polabenburg“ which means fortress of those who live along the Elbe, you should make any country bordering the Elbe River at the start of the game not exist and conquer all provinces along the banks of the Elbe. Without destroying or becoming the HRE

[@ArnavAcharyaTech]

As Saxe Lauenberg conquer All of England, without wales, and Conquer all of Northern Germany.

[@cinnanyan]

As Saxe-Lauenburg be the true Saxon and conquer the entirety of the British Isles

[@monkeydetonation]

Form hanover while at it

[@DylanSargesson]

Seems more like a Saxony goal to me

[@Atanar89]

Saxe-Coburg and Gotha only suceeded the house Hannover in 1901 becauser of queen Victorias husband. Hannover is the correct one for EU4. However, Brunswick or Lüneburg would be the more flavorful though.

[@TheBoyer19]

​​@@DylanSargessonFunnily Saxony has nothing to do with the Anglo-Saxons. It was the low Saxons that invaded and settled Britain. So pretty much the North Sea coast of Germany from Netherlands to Denmark.

[@глеббулгаков-г3у]

As Saxe Lauenburg conquer all Saxonys (Saxony Anhalt, Saxony and Low Saxony)

[@jacklovejoy5290]

Also West Saxons (Devon, Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset), East Saxons (Essex), South Saxons (Sussex) and Middle Saxons (Middlesex/London)

[@henryglennon3864]

Channel update: Red Hawk has been formally excommunicated. Repeat: the Red Hawk is excommunicated.

[@domenicofornelli6223]

As Saxe-Lauenburg form Sardinia-Piemont, then Austria-Hungary, since those are the only nations that have - in the name

[@SereglothIV]

What about the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth?

[@TheRedHawk]

I will quit EU4

[@domenicofornelli6223]

@@domenicofornelli6223and PLC is only called "Commonwealth" theres no hyphen in the ingame name

[@ichiro314]

In order to take Calatayud and Teruel you had to take Castellón as well, which is an awesome bonus to your goal becouse Peñíscola (in that province) was the residence of Gregorius XIII (Yes, Antipope) where he lived and supported his claim protected by Aragon until he died. So absolutetly perfect and coherent with your roleplay :)

[@ichiro314]

Noooo, I just unpaused the video and you taked Navarra instead of Castellón! :(

[@ichiro314]

Where are my manners... Great video, thank you, very well done :D

[@themvbee]

As Saxe-Lauenburg be the Sax master. Conquer Paris (birthplace of the Saxophone) and New Orleans (birthplace of Jazz.) Bonus points for owning North Carolina and Kansas (birthplaces of John Coltrane and Charlie Parker)

[@CaliRed1865]

This was the absolute most cursed set of alliances I've ever seen in EU4. Wow. Just insane stuff.

[@JoeZombie-nq7qj]

25:47 Persuasion 100, that Hungarian diplomat deserves a Nobel Prize!

[@jellodart6578]

What a great episode man. Goofy but logical goal, random unexpected challenges, and running into the late 1500s. Loving it

[@_cedrichackt_6713]

small hint here hawk: if u fight a reconquest always select your wargoal by clicking on it on the map and the remaining cores by using the "give core back" window. That includes the cores of ur other subjects. No unjustified diplo costs and less warscore cost if I'm correct. (36:50) Still great video; have fun watching u play!

[@somearthling]

Depends on when, sometimes especially early on your vassals have a little bit more pwsc reduction so it's better to give directly

[@iquabakaner]

At this point he's just too stubborn to admit return core is the better option.

[@_cedrichackt_6713]

@@somearthling still gonna cost u diplo mana and i barely see any AI controlled nation that gets reduced warscore costs for provinces

[@somearthling]

@@_cedrichackt_6713 not for the nation you declared the war for, especially if you blob early and are over GC it's quite likely your vassals have better pwsc than you from admin efficiency, till you can get courthouses

[@mr.yuuochung8083]

i do not play this game often as it is very overwhelming, however i consistently watch these videos because they are so fun and entertaining. watching the videos i feel more confident and knowledgeable in my play as well. very appreciative of your content, its really top tier.

[@galeinnight]

37:53 behold, thy toothpaste nation now has cloves flavor🙏🙏

[@somearthling]

Should be an achievement tbh

[@electricVGC]

As Saxe Lauenburg, you should colonise Maryland since they both have very busy flags

[@browningcm]

Merchants improving relations is huge early game in italy. A must imo. Recommend it on your next run hawk if you didnt have it going already!

[@jameshoxworth6447]

Redhawk always has a merchant improving relations

[@browningcm]

@@jameshoxworth6447 i think so too but didnt see him show it but its really a game changer in italy imo

[@kelpklepto]

I know he's said in the past he doesn't care about it, but every time hawk does a reconquest war and manually clicks on provinces instead of using the return core option. You can get MORE provinces with war score and the enemy nation LOSES their cores when doing so!!!

[@felonyx5123]

It even takes less clicka because you don't have to transfer occupation to your vassal.

[@SunPwnzZ]

With Sar-Pi and Lotharingia I've had such runs. Basically countries with great ideas but by the time I form them I could have done something more meaningful. Nice video though, first time seeing Ottos allying Hungary AND Muscovy. France + Ottos happens like half of my games in recent patch

[@mythakas]

bro.. I've been watching your vids since you started out. I'm not much of a subscriber and as such never subcribed. But this vid got me. Also I really like how much you've grown in making these vids. Best of luck in the coming years!

[@Greg31558]

Since Catherine the Great was from the same dynasty as the rulers of Saxe-Lauenburg how about you form Russia? Also since she was technically descended form the Anhalt ruler you should conquer that too just to assert your dominance.

[@claudiolentini5067]

I would love to see this

[@TheNoobilator]

Saxe-Lauenburg - conquer ALL OF and ONLY all lands bearing the name and Saxon origin - Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Sachsen, (the three German states) as well as the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy of East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex, and Wessex.

[@benjamin_w.]

Watching your casts is very enjoyable, I quit playing eu4 about 5 years ago, but you rekindled my love 4 da game. Had fun with Oda and Portugal Ironman play throughs. Although, I’m over 500 hours, I still haven’t made it to 1821 yet. Idk why I just don’t like the late game.

[@Frahamen]

As Saxe-Lauenburg, control all the land that is now part of the 3 Saxony Bundeslander: Saxony, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalst without dismantling the HRE.

[@lanetolsunbora]

50 minute A-Z, we're in for a treat

[@martinkunz7155]

Holy shit that Ottoman Alliance. I’ve never seen that before, the game definitely wants to give you Pain!

[@mimivirus173]

Ngl red hawk looks like No-Doze from breaking bad

[@Aerozona23]

these longer campaigns are really nice

[@nebojsakmezic9763]

Slight missplay on Provance in my opinion. If you can nab one province to release the from before burgundy and France kill them you can release them again, they will get avignon from pope when they improve which they do instantly and then feed them Corsica, that ticks of mission to give them cores on all Naples. That's half of Italy for like 14 AE. I've been doing it with almost every nation I get a chance with.

[@jesusmartinez2803]

its a good opening for any nation close to the italy region, when i play as Milan/florence i always do that, dunno why not many streamers do that, being such a powerful tool

[@abcde_5949]

WAAAAAIIIT You're telling me that you can stop being excommunicated by just spending a bit of gold??? I've played thousands of hours and never realized that.

[@DylanSargesson]

Love seeing the nation formations especially since you ignore them so often in Releasables

[@Kululululululu]

As Saxe-Lauenberg, control both the entire region of Belgium (where Adolphe Sax, the creator of the Saxophone, was born) and the Japanese mainland (where Yamaha, the biggest Saxophone brand, operates)

[@GyaruRespecter]

Every time I think about playing as Savoy again: Italy is such a fun region, and Savoy gets so many good ideas! I wonder why I didn't start another campaign sooner. Every time I actually boot up EU4 and I remember France and AE exists: Oh right

[@san12345-x]

A like how Genoa was chilling in Tunis whole game 😂

[@derekskelton4187]

It's always amusing when Genoa ends up exiled somewhere out of Italy. Always fun to imagine how that works in the future. However Hawk those we absolutely gross borders.

[@headschi8963]

30:00 I feared u might actually not take cyprus after your big mouthtalk about taking it xd

[@w0Lv3r1n33]

As Saxe-Lauenburg own all of Transylvania and also form Romania because maybe sometimes you need a random challenge and also why not ? :D As bonus, own Iceland because also random :D

[@claudiolentini5067]

As Saxony, you should complete Frederick III ambition and convert the whole HRE to protestantism

[@jenzo5597]

The Ottomans allying Hungary was insane

[@SCfan90]

As Saxe-Lauenburg : Form the nation of Louisiana and own the provinces of Brussles, Paris, Jazzan, and Lauretia Brussles is where the inventor of the saxophone is born. Paris where the saxophone invented. Louisiana is the birthplace of jazz. Lastly Jazzan( in Arabia) and Laurentia (in Canada) due to their names and to spice things up.

[@TsionBenJudah]

As Saxe Lauenburg, get full annexed by your neighbor Lüneburg

[@tnm1697]

27:39 You also forgot the Big Albania that isn’t even holding any of Albania!

You actually had a border with Venice much earlier, after your Naples war. A sea tile border via Corfu.

[@lorenzocoda6505]

Yey! Finally playing in my Savoy (I'm from Torino)! Real story, when i saw the video I told my gf "Finally Hawk is playing in Savoy!" and she replied "What's Hawk" She wasn't as impressed as I was

[@chumnae5333]

I think in the Reconquest CB wars, the war score for province return (through the menu, not direct transfer + conquer) is reduced. Maybe you could've gotten the entirety of Gascony and Occitaine + Spoleto

[@Schwizinberg]

This might be a little bit tedious BUT as Saxe-lauenburg set your dynasty on the throne of England, Russian principality and brandenburg/prussia

[@jesusmartinez2803]

About the naples strat, not really, the best way to go would be to vassal provence, fight genoa for corsica and give it to provence, that would give full cores on all naples for provence, easy war with 0 AE, standard opening for Savoy

[@CSDragon]

y'know thinking about it, once you get radical reforms, what's the point of firing and re-hiring the two advisors? Unless they're 50% off advisors, the inflation reduction guy is pretty bad compared to the tax and production advisors, heck even if you keep him around for years to avoid one inflation reduction click, a stability cost advisor would probably save you more admin mana. The Trade advisor is good, but only late game. Early game you want relations or diplo rep.

A bit of history: on Savoy's flag you can read "FERT", the historical motto of House of Savoy, which would later become the official motto of Kingdom of Italy. Its meaning isn't clear, but the "best" chance is that means "Foemina Erit Ruina Tua", "your woman will be your downfall".
