Hunt pirates doesn't kill your ships, it just reduces their privateer efficiency.

Whaaat, Potato Universalis? Hope you play Project Caesar when it launches

[@benabaxter]

Dude, make more EU4---if it's fun for you! I'm pretty burnt out on Civ.

[@mr.millions9795]

....PLAYING EU4!!!!! PLAY MORE!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!! This is like the first time ive seen you play this game. Id join the pay group to see you play this more often. Seriously.

[@karoshhorak9972]

In the first war to humiliate, you can also take the "show strengh" option in the peace deal. It takes all 100% warscore, but it counts as humiliate and also grants you 100 of each mana point. Which is much better than taking money and other stuff. It gives you tech advantage early on making you better at winning wars faster and more efficently.

[@bradleymoore2797]

Nice. It took you just as long to finish your first turn for EU4 as it does for Civilization. This is how grand strategies should be.🧐 Edit: It's like you didn't notice france was fighting against AUSTRIA, Portugal, AND Switzerland. Give france some slack. 🥺

[@matthewhannigan1916]

Potato eu4? I sleep Potato eu4 Anbennar? Well I probably don't, cause I'll be watching potato conquering the mountains as an undead immortal goblin wizard

[@SpartonKlieo]

So long as you WANT to make EU4 videos, I definitely will be watching future EU4 videos from you

[@Cian-O]

TuadhMhumhain is essentially North Munster. Pronounced "Tu-ah Moon" (or close to it). I'm delighted to see a bit of EU4 here. My proudest steam achievement is still conquering all of Ireland and Britain as an Irish one-province minor Nation.

[@ALittleMessi]

I've spent so many hours in EU4. Good to see you've had some background/a guide going into it because this game is deep

[@DaveHassan]

Would love to see more EU4 content, and maybe some multiplayer collabs

[@travisoke4683]

10/10 would watch more EU4! Some achievement runs and meme games would be a blast to watch!

[@grabbers6520]

Loving the EU4-content. Probably my favourite game of all time so it's really cool seeing you play it

[@TheFloon]

I've seen a bunch of my friends playing this recently and figured I'd see what the gameplay was like and boom, Potato drops this video. This couldn't have been more perfectly timed!

[@sethc.1366]

Woot another of my favorite games!

[@benabaxter]

I am pretty sure that hunting privateers does not actually kill privateers, just reduce the privateer share of the trade node. What you really need to worry about is getting caught out in a war when England declares on you. That's when the ships hunting privateers will actually kill your ships. But they would do so whether your ships are pirates or not.

[@drjonritz]

cool, historically accurate use of privateers. during wartime they would build-up their fast boats with a few cannons and shields and wage unconventional warfare deputized by their flag

[@maxpont8989]

Hi Potato! I don't know if you'll rrad this, but for the two main issues encountered on the video: - allies being bad is because the AI is playing checkers... When they see nobody they go in, but don't check for a time if a bigger army has come to them once they have started sieging. So if you plan on using allies, only do so in desperate times or to completely crush a weaker foe - Barraging may be costly but it radically speeds up your sieges. Also, as a rule of thumb 10 000 infantry is enough to assault a fort, with

[@VolkariaVT]

I didn't know you played EU4! Can't wait to see more EU4 Content from you! 💜💜

[@joshua12188]

Always looking for new EU 4 content so it was a really pleasant surprise to see the game covered on this channel.

[@juice9976]

You can click "allow attach" on an army to let your allies armies to move in lockstep with your own. Attaching ensures your entire stack arrives on the same day and allows you to make much better moves with your allies armies. Your allies won't always do it, but when they do it is very helpful. Also, Castille is very strong and usually a rival to England, unless they also rivaled France getting them on board would have probably have been possible.

[@Name_Some]

It does not ensure, that all armies arrive at same day. Different armies can have different movement speed.

[@superstructure23]

I'm pretty sure the arrival date of the entire force would be the one of the slowest army (only when they're attached of course)

[@marioprisciandaro871]

I really really enjoy the way potato narrates his videos where he's always giving a bit of explanation for different mechanics and why he's doing what he's doing. I have 150 hours in EU4 and I didn't know half this shit. How am I supposed to learn the crunchy stuff organically?

[@benabaxter]

Organically in game? basically impossible. There are some tool tips once you know to look for. Some of the big modifiers--- army professionalism, prestige, stability, etc.--- tell you what they give you. To actually learn this stuff, you have to watch a let's play, a tutorial, or even just read the wiki.

[@brianhellesto]

Great video. Thanks for picking up EU4.

[@TheColdEvoker]

To be honest with you, Potato, I love most of your content. Bout the only times I don’t is when I can tell you aren’t enjoying yourself. And I’m sure there are times you hide it better than others, but it’s the few times I could tell that I didn’t bother finishing the video or series or whatever. As long as you’re happy, passionate, and having fun it doesn’t matter what you are playing.

[@NuclearDude101]

Potato doing EU4! Finally! I would love it if you make more EU4 content :D

[@aleksandarpavlicevic3188]

I'm so surprised by this video, and being that i am a EU4 player as well as a Civ player, i'm very excited about it. I just hope Potato will play more EU4, cause i would love to see it!❤

[@woodymarston8900]

I'd love to see you make more EU4 videos! I always enjoy watching EU4 and it would be really cool to see you branch out to EU4 more.

[@peymandajkhosh3187]

Loved the video Please do more eu4 this game is awesome

[@buddhabunny4142]

I love pretty much everything you put out Potato. You do a really good job of talking through the reason for each step you take, so even if I'm not playing a particular game at the time, I imagine I'll be better when I do get around to picking it up. Keep up the good work dominating the strategy gaming world.

[@vejolta]

wasn't expecting an eu4 video lol. it's nice to see a video on a game i probably know better for a change tho

[@drjonritz]

Like, Subbed already, commenting yes more EU at least a few playthroughs!

[@DErpinmnkey]

Potato playing my favorite game makes for a good day.

[@alanparom3797]

Great video! I hope we get to see what's next for Ireland! Also I love how you explain more of the mechanics. A lot of EU4 videos I find are more for people who know the game and I do not. So thanks for that!

[@anthroposium]

Hello! Some tipps: You could've showed strength and gotten 100 man points in each category, still got the 30 power projection and ticked off the age objective of humiliating a rival. Your troops do replenish faster in your own territories but shift consolidating them means that empty regiments take 10 months to fully recover, while just letting a damaged troop sit on the fort while the other regiments replenish for 4 months in your territories would mean that you can start to siege faster. Nice video :)

[@meowzebub9667]

Been wanting to get into this game, glad to see it on the channel!

[@sarahderp1458]

I love eu4!! I've been watching civ for so long and Im so glad to see this... keep it going! Thank you!

[@deadmeat3132]

Pretty convincing way to get me to engage, props. I don't even know what this game is but I could watch you play any 4X.

[@alannareiter7056]

enjoy the way you always do videos!

[@thepopeofpineapples6275]

YES PLEASE! MORE EU4 (vic3 would be nice too). I love your style of content but civ ain't really my game so having alternate stuff to turn to is amazing.

[@Star22233]

Please more of this, I love potatoe explaining in depth details of grand strategies

[@TrueStahl]

did not know you play this, Love the game myself and are happy to see more of it.

[@suntzu7673]

Hell yea! More eu4! Cant wait to see you play eu5 as well

[@carnelianexile]

I love watching EU4. I pick it up to play every couple of years, but watching is a delight.

[@user-tr3nu3mc8x]

More!!!! Watching my favorite Civ streamer play my favorite Grand Strat game! Thank you Potato

[@kennylaurie5675]

Definitely want more Europa Universalis please, especially some good explainers, a la the stellar civ work

[@texashunk18]

I've been watching you for a long time, but I moved from Civ to EU4 a while ago. It is awesome to see you playing this game too, keep it up!!

[@paulkingtiger]

Love it, more EU4 videos please! Also would love to see a new Old World series when the DLC comes out at the end of May.

[@SebiSuper9mil]

Its nice to see the Potato is expanding out of civ. A lot more variety to his videos, which is nice.

[@ADizzleMcShizzle]

i love the way you play eu4, a change of pace from most eu4 creators

[@endlessevaluations5259]

22:36 is that A Lifetime of War that I hear in the background, very faintly? Great vid, hoping to get this game soon!

[@ElZorroXIV]

In one of my most memorable games. I was playing as France and I vassalized Meath and helped them take control of Ireland. From there it was easy to annoy England whenever they got on my case. Eventually all that was left of England was a small province in Africa's ivory coast and Meath and I were forever the best of friends.

[@leevio]

I loved your Brazil playthourgh. Loving this one too.

[@Rustvaar]

I enjoy watching all of your content, if you enjoy playing Europa Universalis 4 (a game I could probably never play or wrap my head around) then go for it. It seems for a while as if KZbin stopped recommending your videos to me so I'm happy this appeared. For me, your videos are great for a sort of 'companionship in the background' (I don't know to explain this without making it sound rude?), maybe the way Boomers leave the TV on all day for the sense of company? Basically, I can work on my own thing, have your videos on the second monitor and pop in and watch as much or as little, it's just good having your voice there blethering away as you do. You're funny and your videos are relaxing entertainment. I like that your videos are longer form, I like that you are laid back and you play the sort of games that you do because it's a sort of nostalgia trip for the types of games I grew up playing and watching be played. In summary; play what you enjoy. Your content and personality stands on its own. I also watch your videos when I do my ironing because - look at me... I'm the Boomer now.

[@jknubz]

Glad to see some EU4 content here :) btw coalitions need 5 members to form so you needn’t have worried

[@benh96645]

Love to see some more UE4, I don't have the time to play these big strategy games so I live vicariously through you. 😅

[@ProudlyGamer]

Some usefull information. To stackwipe an enemy army, it needs three conditions. 1) the enemy must reach 0 Morale; 2) you must have double the troops in the battle (fighting) than the enemy; 3) the enemy is not allowed to retreat (first 13 days of battle). For a Coalition to form 5 or more nations need the following conditions; 1) have 50 or more AE on you; 2) have a negative opinion of you (e.g. if they have 0 or more they can't join); 3) they can't have a truce with you; 4) 5 nations or more nations need to eligible. P.S. improve relations doesn't decrease the amount of AE you generate, but inceases the rate at which is decreases (base 2 per year tick, so 10% improve relations gives you 0.2 extra)

[@benabaxter]

You only get more crownland from conquering if you have proportionally lower crownland than estate influence. There is basically an equilibrium for crownland for each of your estates based on that estate's influence. If the estate has more crownland than the influence warrants, then conquering territory loses crownland for that estate. This works the opposite way, too, where if your estate has high influence and low crownland the estate gains crownland from your conquered territory.

[@andrewreid7582]

Wow. I’ve got like so many hrs in game and I didn’t know that. Always confused why some wars gained me crownland and some wars lost me crownland. Lol am dumb.

[@OldeManMinguiz]

1 minute in and potato has already said "force limit is just a number" we got a real EU4 player on our hands here lads

[@francispoeske6955]

Yes love EU4! AND your videos are the best so super happy! :) Would love a plathrough-tutioral via master - others are good but you explain things so well!

[@Jack_Rakan]

Oooh, nice to see a non-Civ video from you that didn't get buried by the algorithm. Your Endless Legend video and your Millenia videos usually got recommended to me 3-4 days late, or I manually discovered them by checking my subs directly.

[@dman8951]

Great video Potato! I enjoyed it 👍

Yay a united Oireland! Thank you Potato, I've had this game years but struggled to get through the how to play tutorials so this is peak content 😎

Finally, eu4! Great idea. Looking forward for more!

I've bough that game a while ago now and never played because I was too intimidated by it. Thanks for the content!

[@davidhedstrom4569]

If you do a "show of Strength" peace deal in a humiliation war it also counts as a humiliation in the age objective. And it gives you 100 of each mana points. Looking forward to seeing more videos if this!

[@OdyessusIthaca]

Your videos on civ made me a much better civ player and would love to get better at EU4 - more more more!

[@shakeslm6978]

I just got back in to Civ so I want to see more of that, but more potato is always a win! If you do a civ series, would you consider doing a Vietnam science game? I found them tough to play at first because you have to destroy most of your productive tiles in the early/mid game in order to place your districts

[@timalechkevitch4566]

This is awesome!

I'd love to see a "beginner's guide" of sorts to how this game works. It's just SO DENSE and daunting to jump into.
