[@fireskull4084]

so funny that every late game in MP cu4 can so easily turn into HOI4, especially with colonies involved

[@klodpraisor]

They made colonies dev cost way too low in the domination DLC

[@benroper5049]

Just finished working overtime- best reward

[@mikewazowski7024]

Overtime making persian rugs I hope.

[@tuxtitan780]

Habibi, you should try to play eu4 MP with the mods responsible blobbing and responsible warfare. Together they decrease the unit cap by a ton to more historical numbers, aswell and governing capacity by a lot, also to be more historical. Theyre mainly meant to just prevent insane and ugly AI blobs in singleplayer, but i think it would be super interesting to see how people would grapple with the restrictions and decreased army sizes in an MP lobby, and it would probably help to make lag a bit better in the late game, too.

[@AbsoluteHabibi]

Will look into this!

[@d4s0n282]

a issue with that mod though I feel is that it just makes mp just not fun

[@tuxtitan780]

@d40s0n well I think it would be unique and very different, atleast. No more massive economies in 1550, no more armies the size of countries by 1700, no more near infinite manpower after a certain point. I think it'd be very cool watching people actually have to manage governing capacity, and if they make one wrong move with their much smaller army, being put in a significantly worse position compared to normal MP where if you make a wrong move, you can normally recover. I think more struggling and more resourcefulness would come out of it, and I think it'd be really cool to see how radically different people would have to play, and how things which normally are overlooked and never super relevant would become the things everybody needs to pay attention to, otherwise their economy dies and they fall apart in a player war. I dunno, I just think it'd be cool to watch expansion be slower, diplomacy be much more important, warfare be much more strategic, and economies to be much smaller, allowing them to be sabotaged by other players easier.

[@d4s0n282]

@@tuxtitan780 btw with this colonys are even more busted, but like I played it in mp, and the ones who could have PU or such were just the strongest, and yeah it was legit the most boring shit ever due to being punished

[@tuxtitan780]

​@@d4s0n282 fair, it would absolutely need balanced a good amount for it to be a decent playing experience, but when it would be, it would make for some really interesting gameplay imo. Idk, maybe im an outlier but just needing to be so much more careful and meticulous about your diplomacy, while seriously needing to weigh all of your options at all times otherwise youre punished just seems like itd be super interesting in MP. Watching the same old expanding like crazy, building an insane economy, expanding super rapidly again, then making a massive army and fighting wars by sending millions of soldiers into one or two battles which take 10 minutes to finish, since by that time the game is laggy as hell, it just gets boring after a while. Dont get me wrong, its still entertaining, but it really does just seem like every single eu4 MP game follows the exact same pattern from start to finish, and subject management/ usage and diplomacy with other nations is never quite as important as it should be, and diverging from that pattern would be pretty cool to see happen atleast once.

Love the editing so much habibi you’ve improved tremendously

[@jonathant297]

Hey bro, fellow video editor here, just wanted to tell you if you want you fix the audio popping sound at the start of each voice over, just put a “fade in” effect on the first tinsy bit of the audio. It gets rid of it! I enjoy your videos man! Best of luck to you!

[@AbsoluteHabibi]

Thanks for the tip!

Just home from a night of drinking - best reward that I’ll have to rewatch cause I’m gonna pass out in like 10 min

[@Lord_Lambert]

Great vid as always. It's always an eye opener to see just how far you can push nations in MP. Even when I think I am doing well in my own MPs I never have as much men, manpower or money as you. Guess I should rewatch that scaling vid you made.

[@jacobschmidt8441]

I love your editing style. Sorry if it’s time consuming but it is always such a unique and high quality product.

[@matpanama4448]

Putting the time-lapse for countries you're going against was a nice touch

[@actualiygod6782]

You could also play around with reducing or just not increasing Combat Width in the Lategame. It does sound strange but it could give you more impactful fights with less troops. Currently you kinda need 100k stacks due to combat width so decreasing forcelimit and manpower could lead to less combat stacks which could change the flow of war. Allowing players to fill up stacks with less men while having less man overall could give you a nice balance.

[@beaub152]

In vic2 mil techs reduce combat width

[@AbsoluteHabibi]

I’m originally from Lebanon, it’s very common in that country to call friends and family members ‘Habibi’ which mean “beloved” of “darling”. I wanted to change from my long time used of “Yaboi” after my Dota 2 days and randomly came up with Absolute Habibi. Idk where absolute came from but I thought it was funny username and it stuck.

A stab hit is when you are over 50% warscore you can send a peace deal for half of your warscore where if the player declines they get minus one stability. At -3 it automatically accepts

[@Thelionpaladin]

Stupid question- how do multiplayer eu4 players end up having almost a million men in 1500s? Is that just from devving?

[@AbsoluteHabibi]

Great question. The key to reach millions of men that early comes down to: -high level of man efficiency -min maxing developing (focusing on military points development) -buying barracks and soldiers households -stacking manpower modifiers from ideas, mission tree, estates (specially the nobility estate that has the percentage manpower policy) I have a video for developing and scaling, you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Wwead5iZ6Fi6ssi=Twt8yG5omcS_IcKU
