As France you need to embrace the legacy of William the Conqueror, your goal? Release Normandy and vassal feed it all of England Because that would be quite boring after a point your secondary goal is to also grab Moscow, Vienna and Berlin to complete that one achievement

[@loganszymanski5279]

Definitely do this please.

"Heathen tendencies" comes from a event that can happen any time you have a heathen/heretic as an advisor, you can either choose to fire them or get -25 with all nations of your religion.

[@Podzhagitel]

imagine being the HRE emperor and one day a herald comes in to tell you one of your princes just annexed the entirety of Finland and Stockholm

[@theappel]

I would feel fear and imminent doom.

[@lucasvieira1635]

As France you should embrace the ideals of "liberté, egalité, fraternité" and fight for independence of every nation in Europe before 1600. That includes the burgundy junior partners, the Kalmar union, Aragon, Hungary and Lithuania and every other personal union formed during the period. If the nation don't have the liberty desire, you must "convince" It to become free by "any necessary means"

[@ryanokeefe8944]

Its noon, time for another Red Hawk video! Will he strengthen noble privileges today? Only one way to find out!

[@jabloko992]

[@withyimp4945]

Will red hawk strengthen noble privileges, centralize bureaucracy, have high inflation, have internal conflicts, no CB a strong nation, get a massive coalition? These are the questions we ask ourselves every video.

[@wunderwaffle2564]

I never knew you couldn't form Sweden huh. You learn something new every day even a 1000+ hours in haha, great video hawk!

[@crocworks]

France has a famous "let them eat cake" quote. Live out that quote; France is not allowed to conquer grain provinces unless you feed them to a vassal. But giving up all that food may be quite costly, enough to go bankrupt.

[@aldbgbnkladg]

I'm checking the early videos of the series to catch up... I thought that was the goal - to get bankrupt ;)

[@ohmyzomfg]

For the "horse event" to fire you need to be at peace. Anyways for France I suggest doing the Big Blue Blob achievement, or better than Napoleon

[@csalvo3653]

Charles and Marie of burgundy (Yes Marie fell of her horse in Wijnendale near Torhout close to Brugge, killing her, thus the horse event in eu4) are actually buried in Brugge flanders in the church of our holy lady. + the only work of Michelangelo outside of italy is placed there too. Brugge was together with Paris the most developed city in the whole world around the 1500’s

As France, you should embrace your inner Napoleon by conquering Muscovy and dismantling the HRE.

[@Hazel_Velociraptor]

Charlemagne's legacy, become emperor of the HRE and own Aachen. French toast, own a certain number of grain and livestock provinces. French kiss, have some number of personal unions. Napoleon dynamite, own some number of copper-producing provinces. Baguette americaine, have at least one american colonial nation with at least ten provinces.

Day 1 of asking you to do my custom achievement for Friesland: FREEDOM FRIES Freedom Fries: As Friesland, form the USA. Secondary goal: Set France as a rival and Humiliate/Show Strength on them in a war. (Context: France was opposed to the Iraq war, so some US restaurants renamed French fries to freedom fries. Also Friesland was in 1444 a federal Republic very similar to the USA, lacking any form of Feudalism but also not ruled by peasants like Dithmarschen. The period is also called Frisian Freedom)

[@misndjerdjer520]

omg thanks @The Red Hawk! I never knew that I needed to send to royal marriage myself and not accept it from Burgundyto have a chance of inheriting! :O

[@bender42069]

Heathen tendencies iirc means Burgundy got an event to remove an advisor of the wrong religion but kept them, so you and all nearby catholic countries get a negative opinion modifier against them. That said, as France you should swap places with GB to end the 100 years war

[@Rullino32]

I got this event as Antemoro and all of the Muslim world disliked that I had a fetishist master of mint.

[@HopefulInnocence]

Re-create the Frankish Empire. So that would be hold all of Germany. Though I would love to see a better than Naploeon achievement run.

[@shiray2142]

As France, conquer in HRE terrtories essentialy franconian culture then make your primary culture and forming Franconia and maybe form Germany.

[@grubygrzib6308]

The burgundy integrating event can only trigger if you are at peace. So if you want that event you have a pretty decent chance of getting it if you dont declare any wars

You always get 4 advisors as a PU member of Burgundy as Phillipe (Burgundy's leader in 1444) is hardcoded to have "well advised" ^^ - if you know his history this is super ironic Also, attrition for enemies is an awful idea for the player as the AI is hardcapped on the attrition it can take, human players are not.
