Which strategy should I use as Lusatia to become a great power next time? Leave a comment here. Check out more Releasables here: kzbin.info/aero/PLsO8A6cTBggvdKKNSIt3lES1mSDe8quI-

[@ThePossiblyInsane]

Not really a strategy, but staying/converting to Hussite would be cool. Becoming the Emperor as a Hussite would be cool as well

[@Stevonicus]

New world escape

[@gior1069]

As Lusatia, conquer your overlord (Bohemia) and conquer terrains formerly inhabited by Obodrites and Veleti (germanized Slavic tribes in Brandenburg, Saxony and Vorpommern)

[@hh8575]

@@gior1069 Yeah,support for this,all the way north to Denmark,and bring back Sorbian culture to those provinces.

[@wilkoufert8758]

As Lusatia, build an kingdom south of the baltic and have Lübeck and Lwiw as vassal republics.

[@anonymous1582]

7:16 you activate it ONCE, which consumes 1 military professionalism, which then gives +200% manpower recovery speed for the cost of 1 professionalism every year (which you lose every month actually, so you lose 1/12 professionalism every month). If you don't have the time to wait for that manpower recovery then there was no point in wasting it, because it gives reduced mercenary cost.

[@TheRedHawk]

Understandable 🗿

Good God that hurt watching.

[@Nois-ufnoc]

​@@TheLibermania He knows how it works. He was just taking a jab at how much they've nerfed it. It's similar to saying, "What's even the point of this now?". If you've ever listened to Redhawk as a caster on Speed5 you realize he is super knowledgeable.

[@TheLibermania]

@@Nois-ufnoc no, he doesn't. He might have been super knowledgeable but he has problems to keep up with new mechanics.

[@iquabakaner]

Why would you use consolidation of power? You want to re-elect your ruler more often to get him to 6/6/6 earlier. The only bonus there is the absolutism which you're never gonna get to in this series.

[@Red_Scales]

Actually, the T1 reform he went with (Civic Republicanism) only allows a maximum of two terms. Can't get a 6/6/6 ;)

[@starhalv2427]

Oh please, you don't have to play optimally to have fun

[@DylanSargesson]

He chose Civic Republicanism which limits the amount of times you can re-elect. The base term limit is two, but if you also pick consolidation of power you increase that by 1 term (as well as making the terms longer).

[@zaikolebolsh5724]

I always sortition and all my presidents are absolute chads (a minimum of 3/3/3 generally)

[@oliwierbroda2575]

and culture convert Germans into slavs (Western slavs of your choice)

[@andrewhopkins886]

7:19 they changed it in one of the more recent updates. Now it just dramatically increases you manpower recovery speed in exchange for rapidly draining your professionalism.

[@Lancephil]

Its not rapid tho, basically just 1%/month

[@highadmiralbittenfield9689]

It wasn't even recent, it's been a year I'm pretty sure

[@TocsTheWanderer]

​@@Lancephil Firstly, 1% per month absolutely is a rapid drain. Secondly, it actually reduces it by 5% per year, which comes out to about 0.416% per month.

[@toomuchswag2die885]

when he clicked it again and again… pain 😂

[@TheGreatDanish]

@@Lancephil it literally drains professionalism 12x faster than you can gain it. I think thats the definition of rapid.

More than you know

[@xlumikettu517]

I would kind of love a hussite playthrough with Lusatia, just because I think the bonuses you get from it are pretty strong-ish. Correct me if I am wrong ^^ But maybe getting Poland and Austria as help for indipendence, might even Hungary if their truce from the start is up. Definitly looking forward to this video ^^ Keep it up RedHawk, I like your videos!

[@lantredasphodele5858]

No border gore ! Love that ! great video Hawk ^^

[@Ayyuna_chan]

Yay, finally we'll gonna get Lusatia next time! I'm looking forward to it, they are such a cool country and hopefully in the game as well! 😊

[@EmperorOfAjvar]

7:18 slacaning recruitment gives you manpower recovery speed and slowly takes your profesionalisam. It is a toggle button, so you just wasted it there :P

[@benabaxter]

Didn't use to be, tbf, as recently as last year.

[@nik94492]

Oh no, the Slacking XD. It isnt a normal click&collect button anymore hawk, you toggle it on for an initial professionalism cost and then you get manpower every month for professionalism. You just turned it on and of and wasted all prof.

[@TheRedHawk]

Yes 🗿

[@yourfaceissmilecool3235]

could you do a great great britain colonial guide plz. Love your content! has helped me so much in my campaigns

[@94sjolander]

to recreate yugoslavia you'd needed to take the fyr macedonia parts from the ottomans as well

[@matthewmcneany]

This is great. My AI ally has given my this non-cobiligerant 10 dev HRE province, and all it cost me was like 100 AE.

[@Aronre]

How fitting it is for you to be a republic and owning kotor (Knights of the Old Republic)

[@parkpatt]

Hey RedHawk, great content as always. Your province borders and names look different from mine - yours are nice and thick. Is that a mod or DLC?

[@Redphosphorus7773]

It's a mod. Stellaris map font

[@OddlySpecificGaming]

Wait do you really not know how slacken works now? It’s a toggle for extra monthly manpower effectively in exchange for monthly professionalism

[@MrAgarnor]

Maybe you could try release the country from the capital province (according to euiv wiki) instead of most dev (Zeta in this case). Maybe for the next time ;)

[@WhiteLama]

Now, I’ve just started the video but at least getting released from Venice let’s you avoid fighting them for a bit for the province I guess!

[@Cyclonixs]

As the sorbs were "original" inhabitants of northern germany before the germans conquered them so try to conquer all regions of mecklenburg,saxony,brandenburg and pomerania and as a bonus quest convert their culture to sorbian. The convert culture is a choice.

[@amilavxilmen5632]

Montenegro mentioned !

[@the_eye6229]

You should try todo Hugo-salvia in EU4 (Hugo-slavia is the HOI4 achievement to control all land of your starting neighbors Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania)

[@maddahy]

Whenever you have Croatian lands, you can release Croatia (or keep as vassal from the get-go) and do their mission for Zagreb, is pretty rare to spawn a trade center.

[@markor3063]

It would be fun to culture convert the cold war east germany region into sorbian for the Lusatia run

[@aleksajakic8447]

It's actually very cool that you can choose wether you want republic montenegro(Venoce) or monarchy montenegro(Serbia)

[@DylanSargesson]

If he'd released from Serbia he would have started as a monarchy, not a republic.

[@aleksajakic8447]

@@DylanSargesson Yeah that's what I meant to say

[@jacklocklear8546]

4:30 you shouldve been looking in your active modifiers under the government tab because the bonuses provided by each ruler from the government reform aren't normal traits

[@cedricfiller9681]

for the lusatia campaign you could try to revive the slavic culture in eastern germany. idk if you know the history behind the sorbian culture but its the last remaining relative of a culture group who settled in eastern germany for around 800 years. Back then germans moved out of this land to invade rome (back in the good days) which made it practically empty, so some slavic tribes like lusatia settled there. But around the year 1100 germans concerd this land back (to bring them cristanity). With new german settlers and strict rules the slavic tribes faded into the german culture. Lusatia is the last remaining part. So like i said maybe you conquer east germany back and dismantle the holy roman empire?

[@DylanSargesson]

I do think it would have been more interesting to release from Serbia - they don't have any other tags, but we've already had some Venice releasables.

[@dimitrisg45]

I would like to see you play Morea

[@teddys5775]

I usually send an army to try and cross a strait so Venice ai sends every boat to stop me then move onto their capital

[@jpanda79]

I feel that Venice in the most recent update is nore aggressive. They derailed my knights run by declaring on ottomans out of nowhere when I was their ally.

[@thenamesianna]

Fun fact: Victor Emanuel III's wife and queen-consort was Montenegrin, so Montenegro expanding into Italy kinda makes sense.

[@fidoruh]

shout out to Ming, you didnt bow up.

[@misticcrafter4766]

Slacken Recruitment Standards is a toggle now. It immediately reduces your professionalism, and then slowly drains it in exchange for more manpower. By turning it on and off repeatedly, you waste your professionalism :(

[@lacksack693]

Allied to Ottomans for the rest lt of the run. Allied to pope even though orthodox. Montenegrin diplomacy is never to sleep on

[@Harmulus]

Big blue bloc vibes

[@wak69]

Tito is crying with joy

[@MrPaxtonynsky]

As Lusatia, change culture to slavic, and annex Bohemia, Nitra, Poland and Danzig and form Zapadoslavia

[@thenamesianna]

In releasables, Red Hawk's only goals will always be to become a Great Power and make his overlord not exist. It is part of the rules. He can only accept suggestions for goals in A to Z.

[@user-xw5xo3bv1n]

Here is a bright idea, Hawk. To [not] have such manpower issues divide bloody armies and don't let them keep standing in a province where you get attrition.

[@unfr4gmeNt]

[@user-em4id1rb2v]

It would be best if you could first get your Corfu run out, if you can get Montenegro going than Corfu shouldn't be that hard for you. I personly think Corfu is even easier because you start as an island and if your lucky you can get Austria and Hungary to support your independence which makes it alot more manageble, I would also recommand improving with Castile before your independence war and afterward break up with Hungary and switch to Castile.

[@TheVoltaro]

As Lusatia achieve German Empire borders while staying Sorbian. Or have Serbia as a puppet owning all it´s core provinces. y´know, Sorbia/Serbia.
