"Lorent is kind of like England and Gawed is kind of like France" my eye twitched hearing that, Lorents whole thing is pretentiousness and wine, and Gaweds whole thing is pretentiousness and shit weather

[@Quarbit]

map colour association go brrr

[@liesel6924]

A slight correction, there are 2 dragons still existing in the lore, the more famous one is the Golden Dragon searched for by the Golden Kobolds in Haless. And one other in "the new world" aka Alentir, in the Ynnic region who is praised as a god by the people in its region, i think its either a mission or a decision, but you can converse with it and if your lucky get a Dragonborn 6/6/6 heir

[@Quarbit]

hence the cheeky "in theory" statement

[@whygoogle5977]

There’s also supposedly the sleeping Dragon up in the far north no?

[@Rolatii]

"In theory" he says. I've seen your balrijin save.

[@liesel6924]

I did some digging, and apparently there are a few more, back in the day you could summon one as the Kobolds with a large enough horde (Cant Confim) You also fight one was Black Demense, though i did hear that what you are doing is reawakening a dead one with necromancy, though im not sure about that part. Those are the only 4 mentions i could find

[@duschidee702]

Lorent is definetly the France counterpart. They focus on wine and have little vassals ar the start and the names of their cities are very french-sounding.

[@Lincy7734]

Yeah this mission tree is rather old, i am doing The Command right now and boy ohh boy is the mission tree cool! Bit of a spoiler but the mission tree changes based on where you are campaigning

[@TheSaoMagnifico]

The Command is incredibly fun.

[@jordinagel1184]

You just gotta know how to deal with its two main disasters. If you don’t, your run is finished

[@hirocheeto7795]

Oh, I didn't realize The Command got missions. Guess I've gotta load up Anbennar again

[@Bengaley]

The Kobolds are one of my favorite races in Anbennar. Honestly though you should to a Harimari run!

[@ComicRelief3]

anbennar has to be my favourite mod for eu4

[@Leo.V]

Ah Anbennar, the mode i still fear to touch as i just don't want to re-learn EU4 but love watching for the shenigans you can get up to.

[@rickbergolla4055]

I recommend it, there's nothing really to learn. For the most part it's just eu4 with a magic system that you barely get to use, (tied to a personality trait)

[@viktor8986z7o]

You can start with a more vanilla-like country like Verne to get used to the geography and the main events of the game, as well as some basic mechanics like the mage and adventurer estates. After that you can go deeper on new campaigns. Say getting into magic as the Magisterium, artificery as gnomes or kobolds, escann mechanics as an adventurer state, dwarven mechanics as a dwarven hold or expedition and so on.

[@therealzizmon1748]

There really isn't that much to learn, the learning curve isn't comparable to something like MEIOU and taxes

[@ravivik3378]

A good starting nation would prb be the magistirium or some opm in escann

[@therealzizmon1748]

@@ravivik3378 Bro what? You're trolling

[@SpaceKaiser]

Based off what I know about the lore I think it is more accurate to say that Lorent is Anbennar's France and that Gawed is Anbennar's Russia. However the analogy that they basically have the Engish-French rivalry is 100% correct.

[@teejayburger2136]

Isn't Grombar moreso Anbennar's Russia?

[@maddogbasil]

Lezz goo Anbenaar campaigns is literally Hard-core fantasy Lore Galore

[@goksir5845]

For future kobold runs, I recommend redscale rather than bluescale. While they do have a bit lower dev, they have a better ruler, better trade, can attack the gnomes immediately for feudalism, and can still annex bluescale in one war. Personally I always attack bluescale while im already occupying all of mainland gnomes and am just waiting for ticking warscore.

[@Osariik]

No geology post because I know fuck all about the geology of Anbennar. Check out the next Quarbit video of the regular world to see more geology posts

[@Quarbit]

the dragoncoast mountain range was formed by the tectonic interactions between the west cannorian and gerudian plates, it contains minerals such as iron, copper, and small deposits of gold. (idk lol)

[@Osariik]

@@Quarbit that sounds like fairly standard ore generation for an orogenic province (a region of mountain-building)

[@ravivik3378]

Please dont state that Anbennar has just 'more' missions than vanilla, it prb has x2 or x3 by now with the recent halless update, even opms have huge mission trees

[@wyvernscale9634]

Honestly, This whole story of kobildzan genuinely makes me really interested in the kobolds!

[@duckstm]

Lorent is definitely the France of Anbennar instead of Gawed with their vassal situation at game start and being the general enemy of the EoA

[@ATemplarIGuess]

Plus it sounds more French and they make a lot of Wine 🍷

[@osmaniesquijarosa4308]

I'd say it's a mixture of both England and France, considering the whole civil war situation and it's similarities to the war of the roses. Gawed is more of a typical Slavic nation analog, something along the lines of the commonwealth.

[@TheSaoMagnifico]

You played kobolds like a boss for someone who doesn't know the world of Anbennar backward and forward ^.^

[@gabrielclark1425]

I'm 100% sure this mod is where paradox got the idea of expanding and branching mission trees.

[@aoki6332]

19:16 Stars Elf are only Moon elf that have retaken there legacy and since ascended back to there origin basically if you play as Venail you have a crazy path you can go to create Aelnar quite fun to do whit the ambition to conquer all of Aelantir and depending on who win the civil war or if you avoid it manage the ruinborn as either a integrate part of your Empire or battery cell to fuel your ambition yeah the elf on this mod are kinda a hole

[@Quarbit]

broke: integrating ruinborns woke: battery go brrrrr

[@samwill7259]

Kobolds, the second most adoptable little kreatures in any RPG, only behind Goblins

[@matthewhannigan1916]

There is actually quite a bit in Alentir (the new world) for (some of) the natives, but if you want a really interesting colonial game, play as Venail: they are elves that claim to be descended from the Precursor civilization which formerly owned the entire "new world" (the reason for the big, perfectly circular crater). Their mission tree has them migrate from their starting island to build their own empire in the new world. This is a really interesting and fun way to play, once you have migrated... well. You'll see.

[@maestro56777]

When I finish my Austria playthrough I'm going to give these guys a run. Thanks for the recommendation!!

Quarbit playing the Kobolds for his first game is shockingly weird

[@aidbotwoody939]

Strongly recommend Venail if you want to see the new world a bit its pretty insane when you dig through the mission tree

[@therat1117]

Yeah I heard him say 'colonies were eh' and thought immediately 'someone's never done a Venail playthrough and gone full elf imperialism.

If you ever visit anbennar again I would recommend playing one of the adventurer nations to the east, my personal favorite is iron hammers into hammer home

[@komradekevinthekommuneistd7362]

Fun fact the releasable tag of eaglecrest uses tanned kobold hides as armour

[@rafaelviana5750]

Please make more anbennar content it's simply amazing

[@Ugapiku]

It's the other way. Gawed is like England and Lorent is like France.

[@Owl_013]

Always saw Lorent as a decentralized Angevin Empire, at least if you follow the lore, and Gawed as a decen./medieval France. I think western cannor was one of the regions that didnt get an update since launch, just minor modifications.

[@TimPaler]

Well, there were some mission trees added (Great Ording and Reveria, for example), but big bois like Lorent or Deranne really need an update

[@Owl_013]

@@TimPaler Yes, forgot about those, but aside Reveria and Derenne the other lorentish minor dont have a great affect in the game (and lore). I hope that when the update on the region comes both Gawed and Lorent get more decentralized in the form of vassals since, acording to the primer at least, they are the most feudal nations in the west

[@mrrodgers0]

@@TimPaler Since they are major global colonial powers, we are waiting to redo them until we have sarhal and insaya filled in.

[@Ugapiku]

Ah yes, the mod that made me fell in love with EU4... Can't wait for a video while you play as Elves...

[@shaneokeigan6150]

I’ve been enjoying my Kobildzan run quite a bit. Gawed kinda shattered after their first war against me and have never recovered, but Lorent is still putting up a huge fight.

[@RhombonianKnight]

I expected dwarves so you could diggy, diggy holes, but this was good too

[@frostdrake8942]

Kobold supremacy. kobolds have a really hard start. the gold scale kobolds have an easier and harder start, but their mission tree is amazing. probably my favorite campaign so far.

[@batavi4568]

Appreciate it, I worked hard on that baby!

[@ProfessorArcanum]

great Quarbit, now I have to start a new playthrough (love it ! Excellent video mate..liked that you explained the RP side, these EU4 playthroughs are always interesting)

The small island off the coast has Damestear (and it never goes away). Develop it a bit.. infinite money.

[@adelinefizzix2987]

Frosthide is very fun. they get an immortal demon as a ruler and whenever you conquer a region you end up decolonizing it and moving all of its dev back to your main ogre area

[@GwainSagaFanChannel]

Gnomes and kobolds are archenemies

[@neighbourpl7317]

well, a settlement in the new world unites kobolds, goblins and gnomes into one state and it seems to work out for them, so not really (just like goblins and dwarves which used to be friends in the mod before dwarves got greedy)

[@Astuar]

Anbennar slowly becoming mainstream - fantadtic!:)

[@David-bh7hs]

Anbennar is the Kaiserreich of EU4

[@JesusChrist-bx8ge]

Kaiserreich is very over rated though. It guts the game in favour the story. It's good for one or two game but after that it's just super tedious because you know what's going on already but have to sit and wait for the game to force feed you more lore to play the game.

[@David-bh7hs]

[@sorrynothing.]

i think that lorent is more like france and gawed is like russia cause a lot of their ideas are about manpower

[@alexbattaglia8297]

Gawed is more PL-Commonwealth inspired, however most of the nations don't have clearly defined parallels, and take inspiration from a lot of both real world stuff, and stuff from the maker's imaginations

[@neighbourpl7317]

Gawed is a lot more like poland, they have an entire estate that seeks to abolish the monarchy in the 1600s and establish a magnate-led republic (which is kind of culture inclusive, seeing as it's called the northern league and annexes bjarnrik in the lore)

[@sorrynothing.]

@@neighbourpl7317 i've never played them i just saw their ideas, but now i see

[@Gh0st652]

Bro you should check out Order of the Iron Sceptre/Esthil/Black Demesne. Maybe the best tag in the mod so far.

Imo when talking about most ambitious EU4 projects you simply cannot forget about Voltaire's Nightmare. Not only does it add countless new provinces but it adds some missions, start dates, great projects and so innumerable new tags.

Gawed is more Russia than England. "England" is Venail. Sea Elves.

does anyone else think there are lots of weird things happening in the game now that never used to happen? my recent playthrus castile & portugal keep getting beaten by morocco & tunis aragon beat castile in my current playthru, france beat castile, then hungary beat austria & conquered them entirely, then hungary got a pu over france (much bigger than hungary) and now russia is fighting a war against hungary to get france as a pu meanwhile brandenburg seems to nearly always get eaten completely, denmark and sweden do miles better than they used to my last playthru bohemia easily beat austria & took them out completely i think the game is going completely in the wrong direction. its supposed to be a historical strategy game.. the ai now does completely random stuff its not even slightly predictable... for me, i like a game where its mostly historically accurate with a few minor changes here and there.. not all completely random, otherwise we might as well play a game of thrones modded version of eu4. morocco was colonising all the west of africa on my last playthru... they have completely messed this game up!

[@terraopg8259]

Anbennar is a great mod in itself but i still learned to hate it because of the completely mental development team behind it. they overdevelop humans and dwarfs and leave the rest mostly alone and some parts of the world almost not touched at all. Other than that they believe that the only thing that makes the game worth playing are their disasters they put into ALL of their nations one after another and not just one no .... a ton of disasters which are completely overloaded and designed to completely ruin your nation ten times over. I played almost everything in this mod already and by now i refuse to play anything that has any of their disasters in it because it just ruins the game. And those options i have to play get fewer and fewer every patch. soon i will have to drop that mod.
