[@randomguy-tg7ok]

Yazd popping out is the icing on the cake. It's not quite like playing Ethiopia and finding out that Karabakh has gone on a rampage and given you Yerevan for free, but it's still a nice sentimental thing to have.

[@R0dolphus]

Truly, all nations shall prosper under the teaching of the Profet Zoroaster.

[@Stevonicus]

Haasa was established by the Qarmatians, a weird Shiite sect that once raided Mecca. The Qarmatians were long gone by the time EUIV starts but you could honour their history by raiding Mecca yourself.

[@revi.talose.8643]

Turning the Arabian Peninsula completely Shi’a would be funny

[@monkeymoment6478]

@@revi.talose.8643 It’s not that strange, Shi’a Islam originated from Arabians. The whole reason it exists is because of the succession crisis after Muhammad’s death. It just ended up being more popular among the Persians, and to some degree the Egyptians for a while, non-Arab Muslims.

A-Z is the best eu4 series ever. Props to you man for coming up with it

[@CantusTropus]

Not to disparage RedHawk, he's a cool guy and great player, but the idea of an A-Z challenge for PDX games was invented by iSorrowProductions for HOI4

[@Mr_Mcgee_]

I very recently did a very similar campaign, forming Persia as Gujarat, and it was extremely fun! You actually made the same mistake that I did, you should have converted the province before spawning the institution since higher dev makes it harder and more expensive to convert. In my run I had to wait until the 1500s to convert it. The +50% religious unity is absolutely insane, and honestly, even though religious is absolutely necessary when flipping to Zoroastrian, their ideas would probably mesh extremely well with Humanist ideas + Sunni Religion. I think +50% might be the largest modifier to religious unity, as far as I am aware all the other modifiers max out at +25%, and I don’t know of any other national ideas that give you +50%

[@heisenstein6392]

I believe Jaunpur also gets +50% actually, but yeah - it's great!

[@LibertyMonk]

There are monuments, mission, and conditional/triggered stuff like that that can boost Religious Unity, but if you're talking only national ideas, then yeah.

[@HyperScorpio8688]

It's funny that you can do the achievement with Gujarat and not even be close to collapsing for it Good job Hawk, let's get'em with the new patch on Gotland!

[@Witch_King]

The ruler of Gujarat must be named Freddie Mercury.

[@dinkle3206]

You always manage to make a-z entertaining, thank you for the great content.

[@serialgiver6295]

Ah yes, Gujarat proclaming themself as a sultanate and then flipping to zoroastrian with their famous sunni flag- how ironic also the fact that they are an indian nation snaking into persia

[@BSideWasTaken]

I got a good one for Haasa, Hawk. Historically Haasa was conquered by Najd who went on to become Saudi Arabia so conquer Najd and form Arabia? Also they had a world famous pirate which is mentioned in their ideas, first pirate to ever wear an eyepatch lol, so maybe you could do something with that and steal one treasure fleet or something idk

[@letsgoshuckles266]

The borders in this episode were beautiful.

[@Alex-dp1bk]

In my recent matches I've noticed both Timurids and Ming never blow up like they used to. It has become a nightmare playing in those two regions.

[@Patches2212]

It's because for some reason the AI are very hesitant to declare independence wars. So in the Timurid example, the vassals might be at 100% independence desire, have massive allies, and still be scared of declaring independence. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next patch

[@marclefleur6158]

I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun with your challenges. Usually when you're not good at something and you say: Pain. Because I often think of myself and how I've failed at something. It's a great one.

[@Da__goat]

For whatever reason, every single game I play in the Persia region is always a good one. Zoroastrian Persia with Deus vult and the monument in Baku is really fun. They could use a better mission tree because the default Persia one is kind of short

[@FedericoApuzzo]

_stares at the border gore of this episode_ Ah sweet, Hawk-made horrors beyond my comprehension

[@letsgoshuckles266]

I'm a bit confused. Why was the timurid's vassals not breaking free a bad thing? They were disloyal so they couldn't be annexed and they wouldn't help in wars.

[@Mr_Mcgee_]

He would have had to siege down all the vassals if he wanted to take more warscore. While I probably wouldn’t have supported their independence (just letting them break free naturally) I understand that there is a soft time constraint when it comes to A-Z videos - which is why I think he did that

[@jumpanama]

Haasa sounds like Haas. As Haasa own every province where Haas has earned points this year in F1: Bahrain, Jeddah, London, Vienna, and Romagna,.

[@jumpanama]

Make that Derbyshire and Steiermark**

[@tuluppampam]

The chart in the economy screen shows the percentage of religion based on the number of provinces, not development You need at least 50% of your development to be of another religion for you to switch using rebels, which is why the chart cannot be precise

[@Podzhagitel]

the fact that you didn’t even attempt to clean up the borders in this run truly haunts me

As Haasa you could try and humiliate the nation which controls Mecca, or their overlord If Hejaz controls Mecca but they are a vassal of the Mamluks you’d have to humiliate the Mamluks Alternatively you could try and take the role of an disgraced sultanate, conquering Hormuz and maybe spreading Shi’a to the horn of Africa, that’d be quite the campaign B) Props to Stevonicus for mentioning the Qarmatians

Zoroastrian faith, with all 5 sightes and lvl 3 monument in Baku makes for a really strong religion, both economicaly and militarily. Too bad that by the time you've reached lvl 3 monument and collected last sight you are already very powerful so it doesn't really have that much of a wow effect. And in the begining it's pretty useless, just like Coptic.

1. EU4 but colonialism is reversed -every uncolonised land in Australia, Indonesia, Africa, N/S America, Siberia and other uncolonised provinces like taiwan become fully colonized, give them a lot of development (you have to be creative about which tag takes certain land) -Only 1/1/1/ and 2/2/2 tags exist (+native nations that dont exist in 1444 in regular EU4, like Funj) , give them land, 3/3/3 tech, feudalism embraced and better goverments -If neccesary - give them a colonist at the start/as first idea, if not - give some of the coastal nations exploration idea group priority -Every province in Europe/Asia/north africa is uncolonized -You can make OPM's out of important european/asian/north african nations and give them native tech (its unnecessary) -Institutions only spawn in north america In this timeline basically North america becomes Europe South america becomes Asia South Africa becomes North africa 2. EU4 but technology is reversed (kinda similiar to video you did before, but this time more epic) - North/South american nations start with 3/3/3 - Every nation with 3/3/3 start with 1/1/1 (tags with 2/2/2 remain unchanged) -Every nation without feudalism start with feudalism, every nation with feudalism starts without feudalism -Institutions can only spawn in Americas/South africa -Would be great if american minor nations weren't disabled, maybe even give them more land idk 3. EU4 but every area is a nation (EU4 but ballanced?????) 4. Eu4 but every terrain type is a nation (hell yeah bordergore) -it doesnt makes sense -thats why it'd be fun 5. EU4 but every trade good is a nation (HELL YEAH MORE BORDeRGORE) -The better good, the stronger nation

Do the achievement but with custome nation one, super OPM as an tribe and form an hord (for more point in ideas) start with Infantery fire +1 and - 20% dev cost . Follow by core cost reduction-10%,advisor cost of the ruler culture - 25%,war score against heretic and heaven neighbors - 20%, admin efficiency +5%,discipline +5%, improve relationships +10%, production efficiency +10% Morale of army +10% (3 last ideas are just here to balance points but you can take anything you what) without playing wide I conquer Persia, half of Arabia, most of Caucasia and mashriq, have most of west and south of India , all of that Before 1550. Didn't expend to much so ottomans and mameluk could join coalition against me so I could test my troops quality. As expected destroyed them and its super funny. (kind a hard beginning since qq will probably "threat" you or will join war on the ennemy side, could beat them if you have mountains advantage in almost 1vs4 but I don't remember if I rolled great dice but I'm pretty sure I have bad general)
