Poland might be the STRONGEST NATION in EU4 1.36

[@rafaellos99]

2000 hours i just learned you can shift click provinces and transfer all ocupations at once instead of going one by one

[@ping7532]

Its a recent update tho

[@Alen725]

[@brandonlyon730]

Something I notice and took advantage of in my completed England world conquest run is when you dissolve the hre is how easy it is to diplo vassalize the now free princes especially after completing espionage ideas. It can come in handy if you want to expand without getting so much AE, low on adm points, or have government capacity issues. Though I wait a bit until they start eating up each other to make them worth the Diplo slot.

[@matis2964]

Another good startegy for Poland is to revoke your vassal mazovia, do not take the lithuanian union (as your mana generation will be scuffed because of it), join HRE, work towards revoking while getting unions and conquering lithuania (which i belive is faster than waiting for tech 10 to create commonwealth and more mana efficient thanks to the guaranteed awesome ruler you get). Additionally you do not have to become an end game tag to own lithuanian lands giving you some more flexibility.

[@matis2964]

In theory you can get into the HRE before the event for polish-lithuanian commonwealth happens but it is unlikely and requires a couple of restarts usually

[@Sudzin_Baryka]

You don’t have to revoke mazovia to join HRE . You can always choose the option to join HRE if u don’t take the lithuanian personal union

[@matis2964]

@@Sudzin_Baryka I am not certain how it is now, but when i tested it a few updates ago, Poland had too much development with Mazovia to join HRE

[@hugh_cork69]

cant you just join with mission? opinion with austria or something and then hre gets to vote to let you join hre, which in my expierience is 100% join

[@anonguy6523]

I started my Poland campaign, and that first fight with Ottomans is also brutal. Tech 6 for both and they had like .8 morale more. Even with a stack of 50k - struggling against half that on their side lol

[@TheMisterDarknight]

Here is another strategy: You can ally bohemia and 2 other electors, declare on wolgast and seperate peace austria to give bohemia a province and release styria. 5 years later you can do the same but release tyrol instead and give more provinces to bohemia, at which point I believe austria will only have vienna. Declare on hungary (if they are allied with austria, if not just wait for wolgast again) and either: give bohemia vienna, or take vienna yourself and release austria as a vassal for free reconquest. Congrats, you're the emperor of the hre. Now you may pu hungary and pu bohemia using the alliance

[@davyliciousable]

or just start as austria

[@TheMisterDarknight]

@@davyliciousable no

[@DrHouseMusic]

If I find that Austria keeps trying to cockblock my game, I always force them to release styria lol. It usually makes them too weak for emperorship

[@caterpillarh8490]

I always choose lithuania since with the elective sjem you can get pus pretty easily, when i was playing poland's lithuania path, I was able to pu both castile and france before the 1560s and during the age of absolutism you can just switch to a regular monarchy to benefit from absolutism

[@RomaInvicta202]

You can no longer force PU Bohemia and Hungary (patch 1.36); you get perm CBs for Bohemia and PU for Hungary Still, gives nearly 60k troops nearly from the start I'm at 1560 - own nearly all Balkans, including Constantinople, I'm Emperor of HRE and have half of Russia And I am NOT a good player, it's all just because I follow the missions

[@oooooo-jy4lf]

i dont know if you noticed or bug or what but after you do a few things you can max your merkintile out with a bit of cheese, as the game is letting me hit "exclusive trade rights on and off consistanly and after a bunch of times you got 100 %

[@SaladDongs]

PSA FOR PEOPLE TRYING THIS NOW: The PU on Bohemia mission is indeed bugged in this video, you need 100 trust for it. Regardless, you don't need Bohemia as a PU to dismantle HRE, you just need them as an ally. You can also call in other electors usually for the war against Hungary.. Farm favors for trust ASAP and PU bohemia that way. REMEMBER TO SAVE if you want to savescum it. I heard the chances are as low as 12%. Good luck!

[@tevanistuff578]

No you do not. Just did it today and it works fine without 100 trust.

[@charliewillis8623]

Im a little confused. When i select the Throne of bohemia mission it doesnt bring up anything. Do you need 100 trust?

[@Emrek157]

I literally have 2.122,7 hours in this game. It is today with this video I learned about you could select provinces with shift and give them to your vassal at once. I fed East India Company by hand today smhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How did you take the Bohemia mission so early? Don’t you need 100 trust?

[@Theplaymaker57]

You don't need any trust... Maybe they broke it, now that I think about it I remember that being a thing.

[@hugh_cork69]

@@Theplaymaker57 im pretty sure something is wrong, today in my game poland got bohemia as pu without attacking them, i got pop up about polish-bohemian cooperation where bohemia chose to become pu, and i am pretty sure ai poland wouldnt get 100 trust or whatever by 1460

[@tigrecito48]

i was just looking up the lucky nation bonuses.. ive seen various videos stating that now its better to stay as poland and not to become commonwealth.. like from ludi etc but you might also want to conisder this: commonwealth only keeps lucky nation status until 1700.. according to the wiki thing on lucky nations unless its been changed and they havent updates it apparently poland keeps lucky status indefinitely.. i dunno if you think that is worth bothering with but if u combine it with what other youtubers have said for keeping poland and invading lithuania instead of taking commonwealth.. it makes it more appealing right?

[@Theplaymaker57]

Lucky nation bonus does not apply to the player.

[@Theplaymaker57]

Poland could be the strongest nation in EU4 1.36, Perhaps Austria is still slightly stronger, but I could see the argument for Poland being stronger... Who do you guys think is the strongest nation in EU4 1.36?

[@doughnutdevourer5667]

Depends on whether you’re considering strong starting position or most potential or a balance between the two. I think the nation that might have the best start for its potential it’s England or Austria. England Starts as the largest nation in best trade node in the game, France PU dominates Western Europe early and it should be easy to become/dismantle HRE from here. The French Pu is also a way easier than a lot of ppl seem to think, just ally burgundy, Castile, or Aragon and it’s an easy enough war. If you’re doing tag switching you can stack a crazy amount of admin efficiency before absolutism, if not Angevin empire is still an amazing tag for WC. Austria I’d probably barely put it at second, early game PU’s are super easy to get, only reason I put it just below England is that the HRE takes longer to get online, it can be a bit finicky with centre of reformation rng, and the HRE mechanics are less accessible to the average EU4 player, however it is stronger when you get it. Third place is trickier and has a lot of contenders, Timmy, Ottos, Castille, France, Ulm, Oirat, Muscovy, and Poland/Lithuania goes here.

didn`t really stronger. BUT. really good gameplay for me ENG, didn`t matter what path you choose , it`s both broken anyway. You become an a vassale swarm guy anyway , and have godd income. (i`ll play some MP game with forming GBR , and it`s nuts) , when you take almost all colonies in America , become naval hegemon , and take military naval and diplo naval ideas, and then all players thinks "man he`s just insane , waste 2 idea slot" but you just spam your marines on crack (because british marine didn`t have debuf for shock dmg , and even have 5% dicipline buff) across the world ,all ppl think that you have something around 900-1000k manpower , but they didn`t see your sailors pool , and how fun it is , to fight with a guy with max manpower over a 1 million , and you have same pool , AND 2.5 million sailors (btw 5 gov reform for marines require only 80% of manpower to recover , that means your 1 k stack need only 800 sailor so your 2.5 sailors is actually 3 m). And yes , trade protectorates , even funnier , when your provinces produce +200% goods, and all your dip dev clicks is more effective then some tall guys :D (god how i love rush for this mission and protectorate all american tribes)

[@FateMasterBGB]

I don't think I've watched a video of yours where you didn't dismantle the HRE hahahaha. I think even if you start with Orissa you would somehow dismantle it before 1500

[@ZuSjamp]

25 restarts no PU over Bohemia. Is it broken?

[@spatrk6634]

bad rng. i think they have like 15% chance to accept pu

[@grandmasteranakinskywalker9344]

I know, date. But if you're still wondering, there is 5% chance to get them as PU in this mission at average point (50trust, ~100 relations). It goes up to 20% chance if you have at least 190 relations, preferably 200, and at least 90 trust , preferably 100. It can really make a difference , with 20% chance RNG is not that bad
