EU4 Mulityplayer is simply THE BEST :) i can´t get enough of such series

[@apurvkanth]

this looks like a cool co-op!

[@NikMcPherson]

A new multiplayer EU4 series and it's with Briarstone? This is going to be great!

[@Zhaadum]

Very happy to see this happening. Just getting into EU4 after watching Quill play Luebeck! Lost my first 2 games within 25 min each.

[@hugenuge12]

this is the kinda eu4 content i want to see! love you guys

[@sabberi]

Oh, the title says: a new favorite let's play series. Let's go

[@eviljon721]

So glad to see some EU IV back on the channel and with Briarstone too - going to be fun can't wait to catch up.....binge watching time!

[@HylianVoice]

It's good to see more co-op series on the channel :)

[@daddyslittleslut]

woohooo!!! I love your MP series!

[@PiranhaMoe]

OMG Multiplayer EU4!!! So excited it's happening!

[@SoulCrusher669...]

Time to convert to the all powerful coptic faith and PU france

[@TheFoodtubers]

The pope shall rule from Alexandria once more!

[@shauncagney2811]

I am a simple man. I see Quill playing eu4, and I watch.

[@henriquefreitas1176]

finally eu4

[@Trivlis]

I am super excited about this!

[@AzelasEM]

Briarstone is awesome

[@varkpark4709]

Love seeing EU4 from you Quill, keep it up please! :D

[@perer005]

Why did the historic leaders of Yehmen and Ethiopia not realize how easily they could conquer the Milky Way if only they allied?!?

[@juten6020]

Hey I just started playing EU4 again and this comes out! Nicr!

[@ZacharyDaveyLambert]

Oh my god quill playing eu4 have I died and gone to heaven

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

A really powerful thing for Briarstone would be to move his capital to Kaffa after his war, to make even more money out of the gold mine there.

[@raderistic8456]

Ethiopia needs to fall. Search your fellings quill you know it to be true

[@mandu9520]

Just started a game as Ethiopia. Pretty fun with lots of options. You start out with so many tiny countries to gobble up and once you get down toward Kilwa it's a cake walk. Don't really have to worry about the Mamelukes either because they'll be busy with the Ottomans and by the time the Ottomans get over there I've grown substantially. I wonder though if maybe I should have attacked toward Alexandria while the Mamelukes were at war with the Ottomans to divide them up and get the other belief thing for the Coptic faith. Might give it another run.

[@PiranhaMoe]

Yeah, playing as Ethiopia is fun, and the Ottomans are a great "final boss" to fight towards the end to get the Ethiopian Achievement!

[@mccw1203]

Mandu i had not even got down half of the horn and mamluks declared on me i won with24 to their roughly 35 or so when defending in the mountains took alexandria :)

[@Heranara]

I wonder if Quill will consider going Coptic aswell as that would mean both of them can get the bonuses without too much who should own what problems.

[@ausintune9014]

orthodox is really the best faith in game but he cant really get it

[@conqueror1013]

how exactly is orthodox the best faith and coptic is really good

[@ausintune9014]

coptic is good but the orthodox icons are REALLLY good and if you have 100% authority you will get amazing bonuses on your orthodox provinces and the national effects are -3 unrest 2%+ missionary strengh and 33%+ manpower, in general its just really good compared to catholic because in catholic you NEED to be a large nation with alot of cardinals to get medicore bonuses coptic is just really core creation cost modifier and its only -10%

[@mccw1203]

Ausintune yeah but with coptic you get 5 permenant bonuses after you get the land and ortjodox you need to pay more for all your states to keep all your athority up

[@SirJavaKing]

oh. you just made me a happy man

[@virtual_edition]

A 4/5/2/2 in 1446. Game over man, game over.

[@Thegora12t]

I've missed this

[@teaser6089]

Lets get dis party started!!1

[@MegaVictor1129]

Next expansion is Muslim focused,you could have waited a bit more

[@EssenSlug]

He said so himself

[@NickTheNickname]

It's Arab focused, technically

[@MegaVictor1129]

All features showed until now are completely unrelated (military stuff) or muslim based,the only thing you could say purely arab is the map changes,but those are in the patch and it is in 100% in muslim soil.

[@zhoupact8567]

When did the soil turn muslim. D:< God now I will be afraid to go outside. What if the ground itself deside to go boom. :( I suppose it do explain volcanos tho.

[@LiteKipe]

You could have sold your heavy ships and reduced army maintenance to adjust your budget balance more optimally. There's no reason to have your army at full maintenance unless you expect a war soon.

[@TheToshark]

he could do so much more. 1. Stop converting when there is no progress. 2. Kill the heavy ships - he did that later 3. destroy his other fort or at least shut it down 4. reduce army maintenance 5. don't increase autonomy.

[@mattsteiner8788]

Hey a new EU iv playthrough!

[@Zachary133]

Any chance we'll see you and Briarstoned play Hearts Of Iron together!?

[@fibrisodarkstar4017]

I hope Briarstoned learned how to play EU4, last time, when i saw Briarstoned plying co-op, it was a absolute disaster :D

[@luka.pilasanovic]

yes so cool

[@builttoserve5719]

Audio quality isn't great for me - Anyone else getting that?

[@maldoran9150]

Briarstone sounds strangely overpitched for sure.

[@florianjohnson5602]

The music in comparison to Briarstone is too loud if you ask me.

[@Necrolight132]

dude its fine get your ears checked

[@daxtron2]

There is definitely some sort of issue with the audio, at least it sounds different than other Quill videos

[@yunglean4387]

audio is awful for me

[@kevinsiagian1436]

You should unite your culture group under a single banner

[@maxmach4361]

@quill18 Get a Coptic province from Briar and flip to his religion. It will be easier and faster for you two to maximize bonuses from it.

[@stefbrands6121]

don't raise autonomy right after you conquer it. core it first, then state it and then you can raise autonomy. You will end up with like 60% autonomy instead of 100%

[@rpraffi]

You can sell ships. Remember that, it's useful.

[@UGotSerbed]

YASS

[@derpflinigan9490]

Has this series captured your attention and you are now looking forward to its continuation? Kindah

[@RustyVenture]

If this was Arumba, we would only been 13 months in at the 30 minutes mark.

[@randomname5585]

next expansion is arabian focused? ia im from saudi arabia this makes me very happy to the point where i might actully buy the game and make arabia great again

[@nytmare3448]

"party in the red sea" sounds like euphemism... *checks urban dictionary*

[@TheZarkoc]

MOAR!!!!

[@tiberiuswolf8259]

Need more Jewish Ethiopia. Also, the island of suqutra is really fun to play as in CK2

[@Brunomerez]

Quill should have waited for the cores to finish to then increase autonomy, he made those lands useless for 20+ years. Also, he could have easily taken care of the rebels with briarstone's 3 star general and army. I'm not trying to be an asshole, just pointing it out.

[@Darkxanderpresents]

I'm here with BROYERSTOONE

[@furkansahinkara730]

I wanna know how to play

[@112Haribo]

Your framerate appears to be quite bad in this video. Is it because of the multiplayer?

[@homesteadinginthesierras4977]

No comments for 2 years?

[@freshman6051]

quill you would be better to core that land and state it before raising autonomy. its very unlikely to get rebels before that

[@rgb3304]

I know you've been playing civ lately because you said "losing 74 gold per turn"

[@zlatkolalo]

Conquer OTTOMANS 😀🤔

[@TheManInRoomFive]

Dont want clay because of rebels, dafuq?!

[@lowercaserho]

God dammit, that pun name for the series. Took me a few times seeing it before I actually noticed what you'd done there. Argh.

[@conorm.5331]

0/0 no prester John

[@shoobagoo6108]

i like it when people dont play shitty minors but dont play things like france. I feel like i also have no clue what im talking about.

[@TheGunteraz]

I love your videos but you always play the lamest countries in EU4 :(

[@CUfkes]

Not my cup of tea, sorry.
