Dwarven Holds are so OP the devs had to add like 5 different disasters just for serpentspine nations to balance it out (still super OP), they can go up to like hold level 10? i think, and can get something like -150% or -200% dev cost just from the hold, literally insane.

[@alecshockowitz8385]

Highest is level 11, for Amdlhir and Gronstunad only I think. It caps out at 1650% dev cost reduction iirc, and requires 120 dev to dig it.

[@xzardas541]

Are they realy? Sure you get super tall province but you could just as well conquer more provinces and end up with same effect without spending mountain of mana to dev it, and in the process take more trade nodes and have more trade income. Only adventage would be that holds dev up by themselves.

[@irwo1]

@@xzardas541there’s only so much dev in roads and caverns. holds keep you alive until you get missions/ideas/tech/events for deving caves and roads

[@garak55]

@@xzardas541Expanding also costs mana though. Coring is expensive in paper mana, Unjustified demands a lot of bird mana in the early game and fighting protracted war is expensive in sword mana. That's kind of the whole point; mana is what allows you to get stronger, either wide or tall.

[@xzardas541]

@@garak55 and you will have to spend as much if not more for repairs, I swear AI just sieges them in 5 ticks despite me having over 100% defensivnes, hold gets blasted losing 2 of each dev, I have to siege damn place back, causing even more damage, its a pain! Not to mention sinking mountain of gold in the repairs, that I could spend on buildings and adcvisors. And even if they do not manage to siege it you still end up with bunch of devastation tanking your income, you would think serpentspine is easy to defend but nope, AI gets 100military acceses and runs around bloody continent jut to piss you off.

[@no-rd5tn]

i feel obligated to say that as any nation that starts in the serpentspine you should do a few expeditions before settling somewhere for the huge boost in both money and mana. expeditions go significantly faster if you own less than two provinces. watching you take out loans in order to immediately settle caused me great spiritual pain

[@gamerin123d6]

We need to get him to see this.

[@cogwheel5979]

On the other hand as a dwarf you can form a dwarf hold nation and get a head start on colonizing if you ignore expeditions.

[@JaddarJexiszuir]

@@cogwheel5979 But dwarves get a massive admin efficiency hit if they settle and form a hold before getting gov reforms, so you really do want to od the expeditions. Also you get a lot of dwarven knowledge for either reform progress or hold dev, so you really shouldn't settle down too early. You can also finish the adventurer mission tree once you've settled down but before forming a hold for massive colonial buffs. I think it's optimal for adventurers with a journey(blackbeard for the marble hold is my most recent one) to go pretty fast and settle once you get there, then wait until your colonial missions are done to form a hold.

[@TheStormfury]

@@JaddarJexiszuir I have never had an issue hitting max adventurer reforms before adm tech 7 needed to reform into another tag. You don't need to hit the expeditions, although they do massively help. To me they help me power develop my hold more than anything else. I also do the Adventurer missions first for the permanent dig speed increase, which requires a level 4 or 5 Hold I do believe. Don't rush to reform, the basic Adventurer mission tree has some nice permanent buffs. And some temp ones to help super develop your capital.

[@cebulak6695]

​@@TheStormfuryhow do you get all reforms before adm 7? Best I could do is forth reform with a guy that increases reform progress. Also lvl 5 hold before adm 7? That's impossible

[@onespiker]

Dwarven holds are op for a couple of reasons Dev cost as you said but the actual main reason is that they develop over time naturaly without your involvement. The reason for the Dam is that it massivly increases the holds natural development. And since you have the geothermal thing it is massivly cheaper for you to do. There is also another big thing with is to fix the farmland around the dwarven capital fixing all 4 areas will grant you a dev cost reduction. Other recomendations would be to demonstry erlier since it gives you the normal estates and so you can cast spells ( build cost and construction speed). Holds time is all about construction speed so having that momument aswell as the estate spell is a big boon for your nation. expeditions moral, supplies and manpower are things that dropp over time. organisation is the speeds they work at ( the base one is decided after your disipline) so on harder and longer ones ones you will likely have to boost it to succsed. Share of the adventures gold should be like 20-30% of the gold total that they are expected to make ( I take that to be safe). This drasticaly reduces the moral damage they take ( likely the main reasons why so many of them failed in you run). Labyritian you can often go pretty minimal investment ( except for the final level). They are very short and the costs are pretty minimal. their succses is more about the choices that you make if you read it.( sharing gold with the adventures is unnessicary on them)

[@finzoor]

ur right but its some of the most boring game play around its just min max central . plus obsidian legion is so fucking annoying

[@KaizerKlash111]

wait building the damn in harpyland increases dig speed ? Or are you talking about centralising hold operations ?

[@halewilkinson2150]

Please keep this run going, it’s so fun

[@liesel6924]

Hold can go all the way down to 10, and two holds in specific can even go to 11, those being Amhaldir and Grotsunad (might have spelled that wrong) aka the two Dwarven Capitals, Amhaldir being the capital of all dwarves, and Grotsunad being the so called "eastern" capital in the years after the fall of the empire.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

3:26 - IIRC for most holds is 10, special holds like the Dwarven Capital and Birthplace of Orcs (near Harpylen Dam IIRC) can go to 12, and the Deep Dwarf Disaster automatically digs the hold they spawn in to 12 IIRC.

[@2manyeggshells]

Also, for expeditions, Party Share dictates natural decay of morale and org. Below a certain level you will actually lose an amount of both per tick. The ideal amount (i.e. to have no decay but no extra morale or org per tick) is ((max possible loot + min possible loot)/2)*0.3. In case of a 1k-2k expedition, we're talking a party share of at least 450 to have no malus.

[@Jonsoner]

Anbennar is crazy, Dwarfs are OP (until they explode from greed AND from even deeper dwarfs), there is a country with a vampire court, Emerald Orcs going out of their woods to burn the entire world, harpies fighting desert elves (or was it humans?). Anbennar is the best and most developed mod for EU4, my only issue is having to rollback to another version of EU4 to be able to play it most of the time. The mod will shine the brightest ironically once EU4 development ends.

[@scientificduck7664]

[@Alex-dp1bk]

Mithril is actually the best trade good in Anbennar. Each province of it adds combat ability to your army. Pretty broken.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

13:49 - yeah this is something you learn eventually, but you want to give a party share of about 30% of the minimum estimated loot to stave off morale loss and hence attrition of the party members.

[@alecshockowitz8385]

Better off just paying more in organization Manpower is cheap if you win, but mana is expensive. Loot eats up a percentage of your mana rewards too.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

@@alecshockowitz8385 I mean with the increased difficulty of the expeditions after the last couple patches, you want to do both lmao. Organization plus morale plus party share go brrrrrrrr

More please. I need more Anbennar in my veins.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

7:46 - IIRC it’s just as simple as all the individual gem bonuses become doubled.

[@StalwartTirith]

Anbennar is easily the best mod for the game going by the in-depth missions (on that note, thanks so much for leaving the mission tooltips open long enough for people to pause and read), lore, etc. Only other mod close in my opinion would be Ante Bellum.

[@manny1085]

FWI you can see hold digging progress by hovering over the decision.

[@Rolatii]

Silverhold (the nation indicated toward the end) does indeed have a beefy mission tree. Its all about strip mining the land to such a degree it becomes undesirable to anyone except dwarves and their slaves, pimp-slappijg anyone who has ever done anything to offend them, and finishing their hold. Because they messed that up before you ever got there.

[@spoonsareoccasionallymadeo5728]

Only problem i have with the mod is some of the mission trees that have requirements like needing a specific country as a subject or ally don't have backup requirements if said country doesn't exist anymore, making the mission trees unfinishable.

There's been a large push to avoid situations like that in the future.

Whenever I watch this mod from you, I get the urge to play it myself, but the vast amount of content is intimidating... It took me a while to learn how to play EU4 and this mod looks like a game of its own, I don't know whether I am patient enough to learn how to play it or not :/

[@lesmeilleursvideos58]

more anbennar pls this is so fun

[@timotteldergott8460]

I just love Anbennar man!

[@aoki6332]

The maximum a hold can go is 10 except some that can go to 11 like Amldihr from being the Capital of the Dwarven Empire and Gronstunad from being the Eastern Capital and the reason why there so much mission tree is for the fact that a lot of Anbennar is kinda open there a public fork and if you want to add a country and a mission tree you can and if people love it can be added to the main mod if it does not go against already establishing stuff

[@xzardas541]

Dwarves are realy fun to play, there is 30ish holds and each can reach 120dev for reasonable price. But there is one very special hold, Verkal Gulan that has gold and modifier preventing it from depleting, ever. So now you have hold that can reach 60ish production, hold modifier that goes from 0.05 to 5 goods produced, hold specialisation artisan that you get after hold tier 4 with 1 goods produced and bunch of modifiers, that you can upgrade for more goods produced and monument that buffs production, aaaaand you get missions that give 4.5 goods produced. In the end I had like 200 income from that single province by 1580.

[@tylernelson4901]

10:50 lmao I almost pissed my pants

[@SleepyLazyPanda]

this is awesome

[@alecshockowitz8385]

Good video, but you should REALLY purge Orcs to get rid of them from Amldhir. You can't dig all that well with Orcs there, and your missing 4 easy holds that should be producing a solid 20 ducat income together by this stage for little investment. Also, important note, Holds get free dev from construction time and dev cost reduction. Construction cost also affects repairing and digging cash costs.

[@QuarbitGaming]

I did end up doing that, I was just hoping to get away with those crimes by not mentioning them ;)

Yo Quarbit, Damestear might be amazing, but so is mithril. As long as you produce mithril you get ... some military bonus (I think it's either shock damage taken reduced or discipline). Dwarven knowledge doubles the next dev click in a hold

[@garak55]

I will preface this by saying I love Anbennar, easily the best overhaul mod I've played. However, I really don't like how the mission trees push you so hard in a predetermined direction instead of things happening a bit more organically. I'd rather the mission be like big long term goals and you having to figure out how to do them instead of a step by step "get these provinces, finish this disaster, click button" like it is now. I mean, it's a problem in the base game also so I can't complain too much but still. In terms of implementation I think events, distasters etc... feel a lot better than me clicking a "get claim" button.
