EU4 A to Z - You Made Me COMPLETE THE MOST INSANE MISSION TREE In EU4

In this video titled EU4 A to Z - You Made Me COMPLETE THE MOST INSANE MISSION TREE In EU4 I play as Provence 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 Provence and I attempt to complete one of the best mission trees in the game. So, let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series.

Survive!

[@caprimercenary2522]

As Pskov survive, and then IDK conquer Cyprus?

[@emanuelcmbh]

Form Brazil!

[@tronk5598]

since pskov is next to a lake, border all lakes in the europe region (like balaton in Hungary, lake geneva etc)

[@Stevonicus]

Form Pskoventry (conquer the province of Coventry in England)

[@Grzeg_g]

As Pskov make Novogrod richest trade node in the world.

[@idontlikerome2744]

Frozen Assets literally

[@ИванЕвдокимов-в4м]

That reads hard but is actually not that bad. Early game AI sucks at trade routing, and w. trade ideas + privilege for trade power it's relatively easy to beat Channel in most good nodes like Lubek or Const (and Novgorod isn't half bad)

[@ИванЕвдокимов-в4м]

What also helps is: - trade cities as a merchant republic for trade steering (Pskov is already a republic so that fits) - burger🍔 priviliges for province trade power and merchant trade power I think? (I forgot the names), for extra effect give land and mana privileges to them so they have high crownland - keeping mercantilism not in the gutter (nothing extra, just don't take burgher loans and give out monopolies) for better grip on contested nodes Trade builds are honestly so good that by like 1600 you have literally too much money to spend it effectively.

[@benabaxter]

Let's give him a deadline: Spawn global trade.

[@fillerchannel4444]

Pskov tip: If you declare independence on Dec. 11, 1444, Muscovy often can’t get to you because Lithuania won’t give them access, and you can wait for ticking warscore.

[@idontlikerome2744]

Great tip, was thinking to start a Pskov run to get that bloody achievement

[@andreysilva8418]

So, as soon as muscovy gets acess we quit playing?

[@Rosemarie_and_tomato]

​@@andreysilva8418they won't if Lithuania stay out of PU for a few years and even after that they might not give access Novgorod won't ever give and AI don't start two wars After independence, Muscovy surprisingly is willing to have an alliance (both orthodox and duchy doesn't mark Pakov as vital)

[@andreysilva8418]

@@Rosemarie_and_tomato im really curious if that would really work. Even though muscovy cant get acess, one of its vassals might be able to get, wich allows the entire alliance to have acess. This is such a common thing to occour in this game as each AI identifies it needs to walk around and have acess during war (to some extend and lenght of course)

[@Rosemarie_and_tomato]

@@andreysilva8418 like how I get achievement Vassal of rivals get something "rival of overlord" or something, basically same -1000 reasons to accept

[@victornunes900]

39:53 "I don't even border Burgundy" said RedHawk after bordering Burgundy since the start of the game

[@TheRedHawk]

Yeah I kept forgetting about Bar and Verdun lmao

[@dutchsl222]

Pskov is historically the 3rd city of Russia next to Moscow and Novgorod. So make those two nations not exist and form Russia yourself, with Pskov as most developed province. A nice "simple" goal for you, nothing too crazy.

[@loonyloser1733]

This sounds up his alley. I was going to suggest basically the same thing without the secondary province goal.

[@josephcola9662]

As Pskov, Restore the Pentarchy. That's it.

I was distracted for a second and coming back to Eggman was a real jumpscare

[@kaanrivis]

[@RedHerring301]

Pskov has an achievement which is called Dovmont's Own. You basically need to have 100 streltsy unit as Pskov. You can try to accomplish this achievement for the next video.

[@TheQwopChampion]

As Pskov, collect one of every animal on the eu4 map since youve got some weird animal on your flag

[@HungryhungryScot]

😂

[@Theradomcreeper]

The Savoy core thing happened due to Savoy being Occitanian culturally and Provence being the Occitanian country. Due to this when Geneva got cultural separatists you got a core on it, kind of similar to how you can get cores on Rhodes through separatists as Byzantium or Greece can spawn early.

[@sethwright2096]

Yo Hawk, you can grant strong dutchies even with PU as subjects, you just need two non-tributary subjects Love Provence, good stuff

[@alaynakoman9420]

I feel the same way about those army professionalism missions... such a pain.

[@gabrielthompson7581]

I have just been bingeing so many of his videos is just something about these videos😩

[@malgtuzi5020]

Bro got the Austrian Inheritance in this timeline and Burgundy was not about to let this slide

[@ianspurrell4436]

It has unique achievement - Dovmont's Own: Starting as Pskov, have 100 standing Streltsy units. Seems fairly reasonable.

[@DylanSargesson]

Ever since Streltsy have to follow the "Special Forces Limit" (instead of just appearing out of thin air with a Government Interaction) it actually takes much longer than you'd expect to get to 100 of them. E.g. if you get say 40% Streltsy limit (from the Tsardom Government and the Tier 4 Reform), you'd need 250 regular force limit, which is higher than Hawk gets in most video times (especially given the slow start that Muscovy Independence games tend to have).

[@efulmer8675]

@@DylanSargesson The Quality-Court policy gives +10% Special Forces limit so he would actually only need a land force limit of 228, which isn't a huge difference but that might be enough, and with Quantity as well shouldn't be terribly difficult although that does lock in his first three idea groups which is typically the only ones he really needs.

[@DylanSargesson]

In that Burgundian case I would've made them Transfer Trade in the Peace Deal. Having a Transfer Trade relation gives extra opinion which could've helped keeping/getting back the RM.

[@arctica2236]

I really like when you do most or all of the missions from a country's mission tree. Of course it is fun to see you do weird viewer suggestions like "as Taungu conquer all of the gold provinces in the world!", but this video was a lot of fun as well!

[@Alnilarm34]

I think the way the mission "Make France out of France" has been coded that way because "Make France not exist" can be a pain in the ass because of colonial game. If you try to destroy France and take their provinces at a wrong timing, they could move their capital in the new world (before having 5 province in the same colonial region) and make this mission way worse to complete. So i think Paradox chose "make France out of France"

[@dexterwilliams2520]

Don’t blame me for making you go through pain again. _I_ liked the "earn one ducat" challenge. Not _my_ fault you chose pain.

[@Thejerusalemhascome]

Baldwin thumbnail is awesome. Welp, time to play Provence. The Jerusalem has come...

[@simshadows]

I did a run as Provence when they got their mission tree, my opening move where as following: Declare reconquest war on Maine before the 100 year war and promise territory to France. Give them all their cores outside of one that would give them claims on you (I coud reconquest Maine for myself). Use favors with France to keep them happy for a while. Declare on Naples as soon as possible. If France is looking to be turning hostile, use your favors to get your cores back. Use France for the war vs Aragon and Hungary if needed. Then you are the strongest man an Europe and can just attack anyone you wish for, wait for the Ottoamns to be fighting multiple fronts or bring Poland in the frey with you. I don't know if this is still feasable, I think the IA will try harder to complete their missions nowadays, so keeping France is probably impossible. I most likely forgot a few details, but that's what I did at the time, 1500, mission tree done and the game was already a complete farce, your are in a great position to form the Roman empire, get tons of Diplo rep and to truce break France to force the Pu if you can.

[@ianspurrell4436]

Some fun statements & events today: Danish Scotland didn't even get commented on. "Can't fight France. Can fight Ottomans" in the 1520's... Despite weakening France all game and having no interaction with Ottomans till then PU'd Austria. I have maybe seen that myself once in a few hundred games... Iberian Wedding didn't happen. Not super uncommon, but that feels like like 1 in 10 odds to me?

[@HungryhungryScot]

As Pskov, get the capitals of the following countries: poland, Spain, Korea, Oman and Venice

[@daithimcnally8212]

You're awful hahah

[@HungryhungryScot]

@@daithimcnally8212 couldn’t think of any other O’s 😂

[@Ryan-tz7sx]

​@HungryhungryScot you could also do this challenge but based on capital names like: Prague, Sarai, Kiev, Ormond, Venice

[@Stevonicus]

Latgallia somehow existed at the end. Nice timing given your recent releasables episode.

[@wiel5908]

provence mission tree is one of my favorites, i really like the possibility of king renee going on a rampage and taking everything his dynasty had

[@karlwittenburg5868]

Okay I won’t lie I did make the jokes back when you first did a face reveal about you looking like Dr Robotnik but then seeing him pop up at 6:34 was still cursed 😂😂

[@Combatwombat-sn7ng]

53 mins for an A to Z video, you know that challenge was tough...

[@goonaba1016]

As Pskov, complete the Redecorating achievement (Starting as an Orthodox Nation, Consecrate Metropolitan in Roma.)

[@franzfogens7804]

you were so unlucky :o I like the focus tree and managed once to get the cores on naples. that was a crazy run, as I grew stronger extremely fast with nearly 0 AE

[@ManuR-l4m]

If you bird for cores instead of PU on Naples, the Provence early game becomes really satisfying. For that the aragonese starting king should still live when you click the 100 Dev mission. And after he dies you can dec on a Naples that has no ally at all for reconquest and full annex. This gives you a huge boost in power. You can even give up your provinces and the PU in Lorraine in favour of Burgundy so you can go for the inheritance without that hurting you at all. One of if not the best minor mission tree in the game.

[@Bottle-OBill]

Duuuude, that war on Hainaut to get the Emperorship back was so savage. Worthy of playing The Rains of Castamere.

[@danielmatheus6620]

As Pskov get the rurikov achievement where there are no other rus nations. And for your Provence game, if you take Paris and cut them down a bit you get a pu cb from one of the earlier missions

[@s0undf0rm]

Didn't he casually got that achievement earlier in the series (perm maybe)?

[@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.

[@hendlessfreedman4697]

As Pskov, unlock that bizarre 20% goods produced idea they got

[@larskaiser8131]

As Pskov conquer the Baltics and form Kurland. Additionally, keep Muscovy's assets frozen: They may not control a single coastal province in the Baltics.

[@EugeneRedgrove]

Vassalize Poland as Pskov

[@Podzhagitel]

The BEST mission tree for THE BEST minor nation in West Europe*, fixed that for you

[@Quadrophiniac]

When you start as a weaker nation, you should wait to Rival the people you want to fight until right before you declare war on them. They are way more likely to get a good ally when they have the player as a rival. Luckily Brittany only allied Scotland this time, I was worried they were going to get like Burgundy, or England as an ally. That's what kept happening to me last time I tried to play Provence lol

[@Eniu7991]

As Pskov, have one ducat income

[@DylanSargesson]

You can release Jerusalem as most Catholics, but as Provence or the other Crusader States you're meant to form it yourself.

[@majimagoro7029]

Hey redhawk does the improve graphical mods working fine with your EU4 1.7 without issues? Btw thanks for the uploads and keep the good content!

[@roelanski1266]

Still disappointed he didn’t go for exactly 1 ducat income, not more, not less…

[@Nois-ufnoc]

It might be impossible due to game code. I didn't test it much. You may be able to steer away your own trade to get trade income to 0, I didn't test it. I think tax is coded to not go below 1.00 even. Production you can get to 0 though.

[@Hunter-cx6]

6:31 It was a little scary to see Dr. Eggman for a moment. :D

Please do a Teutonic Order run now into Prussia then Germany. Would love to see how fast you can get German Empire borders. Not to mention the Teutons have several mission trees they can do now so there is a bunch of content.

[@Dante-mr3rz]

Provence just join HRE, go diplo and become the emperor. Make the base in Italy and from there it's easy.

[@efulmer8675]

48:30 RedHawk, a hilarious strat for you if you can manage this (although make sure you don't need anything in the rest of the HRE): Pass Ewiger Landfriede. It will straight up block the League War from ever happening ensuring a Catholic victory although it will take longer than just fighting the League War and winning.

[@ronnirkutten888]

As Pskov, restore the roman empire

[@xxbilalxxgs]

I tried admin+esp its really good imo. Advisor costs really good with siege, diplomat and also ae was really nice

[@simonallum5328]

This was an insanely fun video. Admit it - you love the pain.

[@nebojsakmezic9763]

If anyone wants to play Provance, I did good king rene in last patch. To keep France (and potentially get burgundy from the get go) just give Bar and Verdun to Lorraine. Simple as. Also, you have a core on Maine so you wanna war dec the English before the event and take Bordeaux for releasing Gascony. If you get burgundy as an ally you can take on France easy. I would just restart until popeman doesn't rival you at the start. Much easier. Also, owning corsica gives you cores on Naples so you can take it whole in one war for like 20AE. that gives you closer border and you can chain-link claims to Jerusalem to get to mameluks before ottobros

[@TheLibermania]

Probably the luckiest game ever? - Aragon Republic (so no Iberian Wedding) - Random PU - PU Austria (no Austria Hungary) - Random separatist (where did they come from) give you a province,

[@matis2964]

As Pskov originates from Pleskov (roughly translated to: the town of purling water) you should own all provinces of the longest river in Europe (Volga). Nice chill campaign. If you want pain throw in a naval hegemony.

[@Cynical_BreadCrumbs]

I am French, the pronunciation for Haut-Poitou was hilarious.

[@marcuswillbrandt5901]

Love how Hainaut could have ruined your campaign just by existing😂😂

[@IronWolf123]

37:45 If i recall correctly you can release Jerusalem through the French mission tree. Or as a decision

[@HyperchargeBrawlStars]

As Pskov, you should Ps-Off, by having 50 provinces, none of which in europe, or historical Russian lands. Or be the spoiled rich kid, having 1k first income, have pskov as the most developed province on earth, and make Novgorod and Muscovy not exist.
