Very strange that paradox added a new government mechanic that allows your ruler to get naked, cover himself in melted butter, and start twerking, but it gives pretty good bonuses so I think its a good addition.

Hey! You're correct about the Purepecha rename, it was from a suggestion I made in the EU4 discord! The old TAG name (Tarascan) is considered pejorative/derogatory, and Purepecha is the preferred name for them.

[@absolvedGravitas]

also, their monument, Tzintzuntzan, is pronounced tsin-tsun-tsan (ts as in "hats," I know it's weird to put it at the front of a syllable and not the end)

Ya Habibi. You are truly one of the few remaining non-cringe Paradox KZbinrs/Streamers. Honestly, your effort has been so amazing, it's earned a promise I'd watch content outside of EU4/Paradox games, and I'm sure many agree with me. If there's other games you want to play, or perhaps some other sort of content you want to create (blogs, reviews, idk cooking whatevs u want) - that'd be lovely. Best of luck

BIG respect to play almost to 1750 to show us the aztec mission tree sir ! I hope paradox notice this nice work. Moder need to nerf this nation 😂😂😅

[@parrot1442]

I dont want them to nerf it

[@joseph_soseph9611]

Why? This is not hard. I've done this once before the update as a continuation of my sunset invasion achievement run. Habibi also almost did this on Leviathan release but couldn't because of the game breaking bugs. The bonuses just make it that much more fun, so they should absolutely keep them. Persia is way more OP, but please don't tell Paradox that. They shouldn't nerf them either.

[@wachtwoord5796]

​@@joseph_soseph9611true but at the same time hard to complain about something being too easy with a player base that loves cheating (Habibi birded in this video too for his leader dying too soon). Of course everyone can play how they like but that's even harder too balance for.

As a mexican, it’s hilarious seeing Habibi try to pronounce the aztec names 😂 (Small tip: “H” is silent, so your pronunciation would be much better if you just ignore every H you see)

[@aliosman0]

Really enjoyed the vid, watched 90mins of nonstop habibi gaming

[@oldamar9994]

Hearing you attempting to pronounce all the Nahuatl names game me critical psychic damage tbh ;_;. (for future reference, x in Nahuatl sounds like sh in english, tz is ts (like beats), and hua is wa. tl is a weird sound that's not in english but try saying a t and an l at the same time.) On the other hand, I think it's funny how the pagan religion group can form The Roman Empire for literally no reason besides the fact the original roman empire being polytheistic, ignoring the fact that the only european pagan faith in the game is Norse.

[@dedrinzypool1209]

Did play the Maya yesterday in Early. I think you'll have just as much fun with them. Inca is something to look forward to play from what I hear.

Earned a sub from me. Have a suggestion. Maybe do another video like this, just a modded campaign, the Fallout: Wild Wasteland mod. It’s a total conversion, I think that’s what it’s called, but changes EVERYTHING, models, leaders traits, tech trees, and everything. If you do it, please play as either the NCR, or New Vegas. Or maybe one of the Chapters of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Montana chapter is my fav. Patrolocus forever!!!!!

Paradox did you real dirty by not giving you a little pronunciation guide - or at least linking you to the NativLang Nahuatl video. It's hard at first but gets so much easier once you realize the spelling choices were made by Spaniards, and that there are only a couple unusual sounds like the "tl." I think you did pretty good, I just suspect you had your Arabic "let's insert unwritten vowels between these consonants" brain turned on, whereas a lot of Nahuatl is just consonant clusters.
