Playing as this FORGOTTEN nation

[@almgaming186]

Laith wearing glasses is like Croatia, you forget about it ten seconds after seeing it.

[@RhombonianKnight]

Of course people forget about Croatia, they weren't a thing in EU4 for a while and there is an achievement to form them.

You’ve heard of “V” neck shirts. Laith got the “hex” neck shirt.

I laughed at laith when I realized he's literally a dude talking having a full conversation with no one but himself and most people would be considered crazy for doing this. Then I realized I watch this crazy man talk to himself for my own pleasure...

As someone of Croatian decent (albeit quite a few generations away), I’m excited.

Croatia bros, we are so back.

[@terakawahana5575]

Hi Laith! I wish I knew you were going to play as Croatia cause I'd have recommended a strat. Specifically, if you restarted there so Ottomans and Hungary rival each other, it's trivial to get Ottomans to support Croatia's independence. If you're lucky, you can get Poland as well (Bohemia is basically guaranteed). Even with just the Ottomans it's really easy to destroy Hungary and Austria. From there, you can also get their help in dealing with Venice (and while doing that war also get Ragusa) while you can even chip away at Ottomans via vassals (get Kosovo from Serbia but keep them as a minor vassal, get Skopje and Ohrid from Ottomans, integrate Serbia, release Bulgaria, slowly get Bulgaria's cores back; also if you vassalize Albania you can get their core from Ottomans as well). You're essentially profiting off of Ottomans as an attack dog and protector which makes it unnecessary to become an HRE member too. If you're extra lucky and they don't get Crimea, after conquering half of Europe while using them, just break alliance after that and attack them with Mamlukes and stuff and it's gg. Your run was also very good don't get me wrong but I'm just suggesting this in case at some other point you feel like playing Croatia you can have an even easier:tm: run! Love your videos, peace!

[@damirk3]

Doring 30 years war like 20k Croatians were in army of catholic league mostly as light cav and were mostly famous for brutality in looting specialy in Magdeburg. After 30 years war some Croats started to surve french mercs.

[@AyanamiReiBratislava]

Finally, Croatia ! I so love this country, thank you Laith!

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Trade steering is AMAZING. It increases the amount of trade you push towards your main trade node.

[@MrMattonico]

26:45 Laith's a fellow Football Manager enjoyer? pog

Maths with Laith, 21 months is three years 😂

[@robertabblebaum7813]

So close to shirtless Laith 😢

[@amshermansen]

Laith, buddy. The glasses are fine. You look great with them. If they bug you so much, maybe you should go to an optometrist and find a frame that suits you better (in your view). You can definitely get frames, even for thick lenses that looks stylish and lowkey.

[@cuniving7831]

I have also found that lately any non vassal/PU allies I make will basically not participate in wars they join or even outright sabotage me, regardless of our relations. Consistently across multiple games/restarts.

[@tf2engineer260]

I think AI allies have been nerfed in this update. Just played a portugal game where my french ally kept all 100k of his soldiers in london and refused to transport them across despite naval superiority.

[@SereglothIV]

One of my best campaigns was a coop where my brother played as Croatia and I as the Papal State. The Ottomans supported his independence and he stayed allied with them for quite some time, which led to some bizzare situations, like the Ottomans defending Papal cities from Austrian forces. Later on he formed Jerusalem and the campaign went full Deus Vult.

[@ThePoutinePrince]

Best balkan countries in this godforsaken game: 1. Croatia into Dalmatia (Best national ideas in T H E G A M E) 2. Serbia (unique government type + full mission tree + goldmine + better national ideas than Bulgaria) 3. Bulgaria (better unique government reforms but worse everything else than serbia, otherwise very good) 4. Byzantines (horrid dogshit national ideas (minus the discipline) with amazing everything else) 5. Albania (secretly OP) 6. Corfu, Naxos, Epirus (good luck, but if you can pull it off you have some of the best national ideas in the game) 7. Ragusa (like croatia but worse and bad) 8. Athens, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Cilli (don't.) 9. Morea, Achaea, Crete (i bet you didn't even know, but you still shouldn't do this. please. I'm begging you. at least they have greek ideas i guess. but still)

[@Gamereal6286]

Laith has a new dog now. His name is Bregenz. Say hello to Bregenz 😄 Croatia can be fun like you shown us, but I honestly prefer Dalmatia with their infantry bonus. The wars with the Ottomans will be less stress-inducing. Oh and hope your eye is getting better. 😁 Edit: Wanna do part 2? I'll support it

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

I don’t know how people forget about Croatia, it’s one of the easiest nations to eat and reform in order to Speedrun “Don’t be Cilli”

[@starhaven1881]

I enjoyed my game as Croatia a few months back. you replace your old overlord pretty easily.

[@ianspurrell4436]

Knew you would declare the Holy War and regret it

[@leaflotus6726]

I remembered, that nation is the reason I got EU4, what a cost for love

[@yoimsecond]

funniest thing to me is when eu4 players go into a war expecting the AI to be useful, you need to acknowledge they will do dumb things and work around that

i actually do pay attention to croatia's missions so i can spawn a CoT in zagreb before integrating them

conquer the lands that are said to belong to the Hunnic Empire would also be a good one.

​@TovalokodoncHungary is not an endgame tag. If you culture convert to Altaic you can form Yuan which allows you to form Mongol Empire. If you were horde you could also form Golden Horde or Ilkhanate by becoming Tatar.
