Pagan Latvia brings the Wrath of the Old Gods upon the world

Today I am playing as Latvia. No Step Back has added a new focus tree that lets us create a pagan nation with lots of military buffs. We're going to turn pagan and beat up some neighbours. Let me know what you like and don't like about the video. Also what should I play next?

@@yoanawramow8809 Close, I think I can understand what you where trying to say. Is English a second language? Sorry if I'm being presumptuous, I'm not trying to be mean. It's missing just a bit of context, do you mean to say the countries next to the one he starts with? He normally doesn't do civil wars or get annexed himself. Edit- I've had some time to wake up now and I see what you where saying. My bad.

[@artimex723]

Idk if it's a bug or feature, but in both my playthroughs as pagan Latvia, the very moment I turned fascist, Germany simply invited me to their faction even If I went the "alone" route.

[@Sigma_Freud]

It doesn't matter, Germans will invite you, because you don't have a debuff on lower opinion

[@studio0ne621]

Did you do this when the DLC first released because that happened to me too but I think it was patched.

You could do a great Patriach Russia and frorm the 3rd Rome. Or maybe do a new Byzantium run with the focus tree of greece

[@scottishblacklab]

that's my favorite path and i never see anyone do it

[@guardianx51]

He already did a video on Greece's BFTB focus tree where he formed Byzantium, and it didn't receive any notable updates with NSB's patch (it did get an update that allows Romania to cancel it's guarantee of Turkey if Democratic Greece goes for the Megali Idea, but that was before NSB dropped). I'm not saying that he doesn't have any reason to revisit the Greek focus tree (he hasn't done a video on the other 2 formable nations Greece has - Greater Greece and the Macedonian Empire - and I think the former could be interesting if he went for it as a non-democratic Greece), but I'm not seeing much of a reason to revisit Byzantium specifically, unless he added another challenge (i.e., Cataphract Byzantium - form the nation using only cavalry and heavy tanks).

[@cronaalbarn2146]

The memel thing is a glitch, I think they ask Lithuania who no longer exists and as such they can't say no thus giving them the land.

[@HugeCharlie]

Your voice is pretty calming it's making me kinda sleepy

[@peterpicasso556]

Just discovered your channel and I don't know why but I find your voice really relaxing. Gameplay also very nice!

[@RamTheGre721]

The focus you bypassed to unite the baltics gives you 2 cores that you don't get when you do the decision so you should have done it.

[@Taureor]

I'm prety sure I got those anyway, but I'd have to check

[@TexanNative]

@@Taureor you should have gained cores on the Belorussian core states in Poland.

[@baltbull]

@@Taureor It looks like you only had cores on Wilno, which is already a core of the baltic unitary state due to the Lithuanian claim. The focus would have given you more cores.

[@nietname2468]

@@Taureor you don't get the cores if you bypass it. It's a bug i think.

the problem with tank only, is that tanks have 0 organization so you need either infantry or mechanized in there so you can get at least a bit of org

[@murderouskitten2577]

13:00 we , the latvians would not opress the poles , just exploit them :D

[@bigbenhgy]

I think the Memel focus and others like that either still ask the original owner (in this case Lithuania) or they just default to yes. If you for example take the Netherlands and puppet the East indies, Australia can ask for it through focus and just get it, you won't be asked.
