EU4 A to Z - They Said It's IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN As RAGUSA

Para Bellum Qualifying Show Is LIVE On June 19th at 18:00 CEST: doras.to/parab...
In this video titled EU4 A to Z - They Said It's IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN As RAGUSA I play as Ragusa in Europa Universalis 4 1.37 Winds of Change. 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 Ragusa and I attempt to get he achievement With A Little Help where you need to guarantee The Ottomans and lead a trade league with 5 nations in it. 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.

Para Bellum Qualifying Show Is LIVE On June 19th at 18:00 CEST: doras.to/parabellum

[@DylanSargesson]

still can't believe you got fired, but then un-fired yourselves by making a new show

[@MilanMilan0000]

@@DylanSargesson what happened? im out of the loop

[@DylanSargesson]

@@MilanMilan0000 On the Speed5 game show Masters of Universalis that that RedHawk and Laith hosted, they regularly joked about "not getting fired". Speed5 closed up, but now RedHawk and Laith are doing their own to replace Masters. It starts tomorrow.

[@Xorbinator]

@@DylanSargesson real shame about speed5, didn't know that happened

[@Rudra-b5d]

The Rassids were a prominent Yemeni power who followed the Zaydi school of Islam. Zayd ibn Ali was considered to be the fifth Imam by some Shias and is most notable for his rebellion against the Umayyad Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik. So in order to commemorate this, you must own all the cores of Granada as your own or have them as a vassal, as they are the last vestiges of the Umayyad Caliphate.

[@TheRedHawk]

Really good suggestion!

6k hours and I've *never* seen France expand into Austria like that. How cow, 1.37 is absolutely wild.

[@tropicalfruit4571]

I think it has more to do with the DLC where they frequently get Naples under PU, and they also have new missions which give them cool stuff. I don't have the DLC and it's just good old France that collapses when you ally them, and gets strong when you don't.

[@carrypotter419]

When you play Ragusa, France expand into Ragusa.

Note for Hawk: Never trust the description of an achievement for knowing what to do. Wordings are just too inconsistent. Always check the actual conditions, which, in this case, doesn't include being Ragusa. Also, the revolutionaries in Corfu are because it was a republic, fell to being a dictator because of low tradition, and revolutionaries came back to restore the republic.

[@Terrados1337]

Gotta love Hawk starting his own Laithian hair challenge! Best of luck!

[@3komma141592653]

You know the reason, he said it.

[@aang2976]

Good france guide Hawk thank you

[@94sjolander]

I just noticed Hawk might have accidentally skipped two nations with unique ideas in Mesoamerica. Both Purepecha and Kiche got unique ideas and since he played Aztecs in season A that shows he's not banned the region from being played.

[@hoi-polloi1863]

So... Laith and Hawk have *finally* been seen in the same room at the same time. Many conspiracy theories are about to go "the way to dusty death".

[@necromancedkoatle]

Hi, it’s “big list of A-Z suggestions” guy, suggestions are welcome As Ryazan, have Ramazan as a subject As Ryukyu own these three mountains: Mt. Fuji, Mt. Everest and Mt. Paektu As Scotland, make England not exist (obviously), colonise Nova Scotia and Panama, and spawn Manufactories because Scotland has a big role in the Industrial Revolution As Serbia, convert all Serbian culture provinces to Sorbian As Switzerland, be the real Swiss Guard by allying and guaranteeing the Papal States and make sure they never lose a war As Tlemcen, own Moscow because Hayreddin Barbarossa/Operation Barbarossa As Tunis, do whatever you think will annoy Laith the most As Tyrone, convert all English and Scottish culture provinces to Irish As Ulster, form the Netherlands and go Protestant because William of Orange As Uzbek, form the worst formable nation and make it so no hordes exist As Vijayanagar, the “City of Victory”, win a war against all the big Indian states at once

[@napalmblaziken]

But the worst formable nation is Greece. Bad ideas, no missions, no flavor, and can't form Byzantium.

[@TheFraps1]

@@napalmblaziken Bukhara is worse because it ruins your nation from an OP horde to a generic monarchy with worse ideas. The only way to go back to being a horde at that point is to form Tibet, do their mission tree and flip to Khalkha.

[@napalmblaziken]

@@TheFraps1 But you have a way out if you hate it. When you form Greece, there's no going back. Used to be, Greece was just a stepping stone to Byzantium, but it can't do that anymore.

[@TheFraps1]

@@napalmblaziken You can tag switch to something else first, for example Bulgaria would be the easiest or you could do some meme stuff like Hungary or Georgia, and THEN form Byzantium.

I got the achievement on the second try. In the first, I blew up venice and milan, then got cocky and started a war with giga-Spain in 1520 that I just didn't have the numbers for. Don't do that, and you should be fine.

[@KarczekWieprzowy]

Hey Hawk, I think I found a crazy interesting strat for Holland>Netherlands Have you ever thought about getting the BI as them? If you get strong enough independence support you can actually get released and ally them as soon as January 1445 It involves a bit of savescumming the start, France cannot rival Burgundy, as they do switch the rivalry onto them almost immediately, this can give you up to 5 supporters and will threaten Burgundy enough to let you go After that you just conquer Utrecht, Gelre, Friesland and East Frisia and wait for BI to fire

[@Karsuuue]

Hawk if this is your living room: Very nice and I love those bunny lamps

[@Podzhagitel]

is pouncing on Naples immediately when they become independent a good Ragusa starting move?

[@Podzhagitel]

update: holy moly this game was cursed

[@ThomasDiesch]

@@Podzhagitel yeah normally pouncing on naples when their free as any nation is a good idea good provinences and cause theire are on the bottom of italy not many will be mad. Sadly naples never has a good game so many nations with PUs on them and their pretty weak if not played by a player, same goes for milan.

[@TheClevelander14]

That is one of the strongest AI France I have ever seen.

[@ominousflames14]

Ramazan has pretty good ideas for not being unique.. I thought they were next, but they are one of the nations paradox avoided giving any flavour.

My recommendation for the achievement is don’t go annexing OPM in your trade nodes if you are playing a trade league game, as increasing the size of your trade league basically increases your money and force limit (playing mercenaries is doable) Edit: also create trade cities , like you can create one per trade node, plying tall while unifying Italy (your Italian culture after all) is the way to go. As the ridiculous dev is gonna make you unbeatable, also you should have waited until 1600 hundreds when they get too weak (if they are way too large the AI can’t handle the decadence, if they are not large enough they armies suck by then

Surprising that Ottomans and France did not ally each other, I think for opening you need to no cb Byz before ottos get them.

[@fngrlss7923]

But you could form other nation.... You should have formed Dalmatia, their ideas are sick. My Ragusa run was just a piece of cake. I formed Dalmatia, allied the otto, ate the whole Italy, Hungary, the south of Ruthenia and a bit of Tunisia, got the whole Bulgaria diplomatically and only then killed the huge otto easily🙂
