That mil access trick is fascinating.

[@eimantasbutkus5324]

I noticed the AI likes to use it as well sometimes in a similar way against the player.

[@xRozmarzony]

Arumba was using it en masse in old days, when he playd slow like a turtle with very autistic min-maxing of everything in early years.

[@GlizzyGoblin757]

i discovered it by myself and thought i was a genius

[@13ladewarriorttv]

Good stuff bro always clear and to the point thanks for the content

[@eimantasbutkus5324]

Nice tips. I actually never even knew the sortie option was there until I started watching your vids a few weeks ago, and I'm not a new player either.. Btw, unless I'm wrong, I think reinforcement cost is based on unit cost, and usually cavalry costs more than infantry so if you have units you can move out of a fort you're sieging to save on manpower and ducats it's probably better to prioritize moving out cavalry, but you left 1 stack.

[@nikolaitregouet]

That is right, yes. To avoid them attritioning an having to constantly reinforce

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

I normally keep a little cavalry. I never thought of it like that.

[@Kyryyn_Lyyh]

Calvary also raid at approx 3 times the rate, so it balances out while there is still loot. I will often carpet siege and then carpet loot if the provinces are rich enough.

[@hoyinching9313]

Very good tip🙂 1:35 Even though I play a lot of it, I didn't notice how great the military access is.

[@hoyinching9313]

3:38 Normally, If AI sieges the capital, I shoot them at the end of the month with sortie from the siege, because calvary with sortie units gives better combat width. Also, it prevents AI from getting morale bonus.

[@hoyinching9313]

1K sortie regiment could be beaten very quickly. 6:09 cancelling access is very good recommendation.

[@dripstein5068]

really liking all these vids coming out back to back. gj!

[@arminhergl5388]

Super cool! Thanks for these hints, I will put them to good use. 😊

[@raeds8218]

Great vid, short and sweet.

[@klubnord7465]

6:10 Best sound of rejection twitchchat has ever heard

[@MyUsersDark]

I think I used the sortie trick on an AI once when playing a custom nation. I had won a siege race, and to save my capital from being saved I sortie'd at the last second, just in time for my troops to reinforce and win the battle. The war was a great victory thanks to it

[@shubhaamgokko1361]

This is an ingenious trick in itself. Kind of reminded me of preventing a retreating army from crossing a strait by bring boats out at the very last minute

[@rjs69]

a masterclass!

[@ms_publisher7143]

One of the best KZbinrs out there

[@nikolaitregouet]

Great trick as usual. But I was once or twice on the wrong end of this when starting to play this game😄

[@simonebaruzzi156]

great trick

[@amilavxilmen5632]

Thx for the tips

[@AyatollahofRockNRolla]

Really good tips here. I use sortie more often than I should, but not to stop a month tick. I'm obviously a dumbie for not making that that connection and stopping the tick!

[@BudgetMonk]

Glad to help.

[@zangmer]

Nicu tip :)

[@Lapkonium]

Neat

[@mimamima7428]

thanks for the tip

[@sprites75]

interesting trick with military access

[@davidwilliams7552]

Wow I didn't know about sortie after thousands of hours

[@zord1352]

Actually, it can also work with Albania when you let the ottomans or others burn their manpower first, and only then engage them :)

[@johnny-smith]

2k hours myself and didn't even know sortie button was in the game

[@Zeraphimski]

5 head

[@Kyryyn_Lyyh]

What’s up Lays(tm)

[@BudgetMonk]

I say lads xD

[@pz9mo1221]

can opole or lusatia be fun ideas? gg

[@eimantasbutkus5324]

I found their ideas to be lackluster and so I've never played them
