[@kacperixplayer4061]

I love the absurdity of modifiers, excel guys are very happy in min-maxing.

[@sto1238]

I’ve had games were Korea somehow became a gp without even expanding a single province lol. Korea is actually insane lol

[@lookasetbella]

Yes, I'm thinking a lot about a campaign in which I play Korea for the colonization of the new world and Japan is my vassal. ...

[@2009worstyearever]

@@lookasetbella Korea as colonial is really fun, especially moving the capital to Alaska or whatever so you can eat all of the New World. The biggest frustration is that it takes so long to get colonial range

[@lookasetbella]

i need to play this way@@2009worstyearever

[@2009worstyearever]

@@lookasetbella its pretty powerful because you can harmonize Pagans and so all the Americas' religions automatically become yours. No rebellions and the monuments are all usable except the Mayan ones

a lovely eu4 video, surely there is no jumpscares in it 3:14

[@Vorcupine]

AHHHH WTF 🙀 BRO GIVE US A WARNING 😡🤬😡

[@Isl33p]

1:18 As a Korean, I can say that it's not because of historical reasons, it's because the regions have mountains which is hard for people to administer. (or frequent border raids by nomads)

[@Vorcupine]

As an American, I approve this message 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Yacovo]

Thanks for the video.

[@makiskanyt9269]

I like playing korea mandate and normal conquest all of china as hermit kingdom, i also love going ino first, so good

[@Jesus-jb6ho]

Quick question about it. Mandate of Heaven missions used to give -10% dev cost when Vajranaya becomes harmonized with one of its mission, i've recently done a run with ming but couldn't see that modifier, did it get changed?

[@chengzhou8711]

Korea is incredibly fun to play tall or wide. Just a GOATed country with some insane playability and mana generation. I usually prefer to maintain the balance of power during the literati events.

[@chalsfo]

how did you get that much gov reform power?

[@Vikingskog]

Korea is my most played nation. Probably the easiest nation to play tall and pacifist. One fun thing is to max the defenses in the north and stack fort modifiers (i.e innovative, defensive instrastructure, religious ideas), due to all the modifiers, the terrain, tech advantage and development its easy to completely destroy Ming with attrition there even if they outnumber you 5 to 1.

[@Archris17]

I'm doing my best as Korea, but I feel like I .ay have screwed myself... I followed this guide to 1474 and have taken a tiny handful of provinces from the Manchus to my direct north, but now my allies hate me and have all banded together. If I try to push on into the second lot, I'm going to get mobbed. I can't wait it out either as I have a claim expiring soon. Add to that I'm struggling with money despite building markets and temples in my best provinces and I've not been able to embrace the renaissance yet...

[@lookasetbella]

It's weird. Korea has a lot of points that it can spend on the development of provinces for the first 25 years. This makes it virtually invincible to the Hordes.The Bot does not often use the Horde's advantages and lags behind in technology.

[@Archris17]

@@lookasetbella I took a chance in the north and somehow managed to win without a single land battle and only a couple of naval skirmishes where my heavy ships utterly dominated! I've embraced the renaissance and am waiting for the mingsplosion, but I don't know how I'm supposed to upgrade my provinces, core my conquests, advance my ideas AND stay ahead on technology all at once! I don't have Leviathan so I can't improve infrastructure to keep costs down, so I guess I just have to upgrade my advisors and sacrifice my treasury?

The end of the video pops for Sardinia piedmont, might want to cut it !

Why? This is a redirect to the next movie.

[@antonstoyanov9145]

This north korea dev is like cyberpunk compared to current north korea

[@dassgaming8502]

17:34 wait wat u can still get the Emperor of China mission tree 😮 I thought only horde and Chinese warlords can have it now ( or maybe am play Mahayana Dai Viet as the EoC and so they don’t give me the mission tree🤔🤔)

[@lookasetbella]

Yes, this is for every country that claim mandate of heaven.

[@dassgaming8502]

I tried it again it doesn’t work 😥 wat version are you playing? 🤔

[@lookasetbella]

Current version with all DLC's@@dassgaming8502

[@dassgaming8502]

@@lookasetbella but I got all of them 😭😭 am i missing file or something 🤔? I asked people on Reddit their said Dai Viet is not able to get the Mandate anymore 🤔 why is that ? so is not just me that can’t get the mission or they game also got bug or something too maybe 🤔

[@lookasetbella]

I actually checked it on the console. Dia Veit doesn't get the Emperor of China mission for some reason. Just like several other nations from this region. There is no mention of such an exception on the EU4 Wiki, or I can't find it in an obvious place.@@dassgaming8502​

Wait… am i going insane? I swear i’ve seen this video on another language let me see my watch history omg Do u have 2 chanels? Another named lukashowtowipe?

[@spazn3905]

I ono bout anybody else but I’ve been playing korea the most since eu4 came out. It’s my go to country. Also it might be because I am Korean 😂😂😂😂

[@rafardzrba]

Oppa Gangnam style world wide 😅

[@neutronshiva2498]

More like Gangbang style.

[@viorp5267]

Underrated is Australia with Korean culture. You get all the same shit korea gets except better dev cost modifiers in national ideas. I have been thinking what nation is best to culture switch to korean to to get their governament. Honestly however cursed... it may be japan as Japan gets a permanent dev cost reduction on their island and it's not hard to do.

[@lookasetbella]

I need to try this both way :D

[@Hatsuzu]

No development of temples??

[@lookasetbella]

I don't really understand what exactly you're writing about.

[@Hatsuzu]

@@lookasetbella the clergy privilege I didn't see you grant it, it's free Dev cost

Hyh i forget about it :P@@Hatsuzu

[@seroo9119]

Tip: You dont have to renew your political stance as Korea. If you dont change it it just stays as is, you dont lose the bonus.

[@lookasetbella]

I'm sure I didn't uncheck political stance in the Korean government myself. Every 20 years I was informed that I could choose political stance and I was given a penalty for corruption.

[@Dukaier]

Usually when lookas is playing “tall” what he meant is tall but side ways lmao. Just like how he “peacefully” conquer his neighbors 😂

[@lookasetbella]

Yes, I usually play, quite unusually tall :P Tall horde...

SCARY ALERT 3:14 Very scary guys, don't look

[@user-dn6mh8si8q]

idk about the title my man

[@Zackary1005]

Playing tall doesn’t no conquest! It means you focus on developing your home country.

[@avakiin6614]

@@Zackary1005 No it doesn't. Most people who play "wide" also only focus on developing their home country, like in real life basically. Yes, playing tall can still mean conquering provinces, best example would be a "tall" Italy, but you're meant to just confine your borders within a specific geographical area. There is no specific number of provinces or what kind of provinces can be conquered for a "tall" playthrough, but whatever was done in the video was *clearly* not it.

playing korea is so boring, the entire continent is for utter masochist
