Enlisted and EU4 are my favorite games. The fact Enlisted has an official ad here makes me genuinely happy. Can't recommend it enough, I discovered it literally through a similar ad and have been loving it ever since. It was the only game I genuinely enjoyed in, like, the last 10 years since the release of EU4 and CK2.

[@Majora1988]

Well Hawk it's obvious what you do as Montferrat, you have to restore Byzantium, because you have a Palaiologos on the throne.

The first time you razed stuff, I was thinking that the game really needs a "raze all" button, cause it also annoys me having to click on every single province to do it.

Use the shortcut Z

definitely in the state view near the concentrate button

[@robertalaverdov8147]

Hawk, the reason you always have manpower issues is because attrition is killing your armies. Your stacks are way too big. Your full army should be split in two, three or fours. Then have them move next to each other. That way you can siege faster. And if there is a battle then just gather your armies, which should be nearby. Follow the logistics cap, it's usually something like 20,30,40 and so on as you get techs.

[@formicasana0]

I suppose he knows this, but after 150 years he's just too bored for micromanagement and does not care at all

[@jackconrad4814]

Yeah this is one of those things you know you CAN do but most don’t bother cause it’s just not worth the micro against bots. It’s just a dumb mechanic overall considering the AI is almost completely unaffected by it but at the same time you’ll lose almost every time unless you have a full back line of cannons, which is almost always going to be 2x or more over the supply limit.

[@milan-px5uq]

Way more fun to stack land attrition reduction

[@christophercarver7550]

tru that @@milan-px5uq

[@StrudelerOfTheTSociety]

I don't like how steppe warfare is either, it boils down to carpet siege rushes by the AI. The new world with the tribal land system might be good to implement on the steppe, reducing the number of settled provinces means that steppe soldiers will be bleeding each other dry rather than rushing for provinces. That would be an interesting mod.

[@intxcated]

Ming blows up through the event "Crisis of the Ming Dynasty", which can only fire if there is no other disaster. Since Ming had "Unguarded Nomadic Frontiers" the whole time it never blew up. Also, you can avoid the stab hit from breaking tributary by refusing to pay tribute a few times, Ming will break it on their own.

[@alejandronieto4212]

In normal dificulty so far I use to Leeroy Jenkins Oirat by myself. You can beat their armies one by one and soon enough Ming declares on Oirat. Usually Oirat will either have no allies or just Sarig Yoqir.

[@BrkCntkn]

If I'm not mistaken "Z" is the shortkey for razing so instead of clicking the button everytime to raze once you clicked on the province you can use "Z" and "C" combo to utilize the shortcuts. It's way easier and quite helpful for any horde nation.

After such a hard goal for Montferrat, I'd propose something much chiller : colonize the West Antilles, relocate your capital to Montserrat (with an S), and making it the most developped city in the world.

[@BrunoVanwelde]

I enjoyed your videos very well and appriciate it also a lot only too often I remark that your videos are quiet short for the campaign you do so here is my question to you could you make your videos longer or in copple episodes so we get also more detailled idea of amount of troops you and opponent have and we can really see better the troops you win and lose because that is not allways clear an another question is if you use all the dlc s or not because I never see you drilling troops thanks a lot and look forward to your next movie of eu 4 😊

I played Great Horde and formed Mongol Empire before. I was trying to get the KHAAAAAAN achievement. Although I got it at last, but it was stressful...Since the AI always target the player: The Turks always tried to screwed me and the Ming didn't explode like the 90% of time it did Sometime, playing this game is really painful :-(

[@juncheok8579]

For the Ming, as a horde you need to not have thruce/tributary with them and their disaster will fire

[@austinharris5346]

[@TheRedHawk]

Not after this video

[@jespers6702]

Funny timing I actually just got the khan achievement with oirat, which seems a lot easier than Mongolia, since you can declare on Ming and get tons of money right away. Must say I also hate how your economy as a horde always garbage until very late when you can earn a lot from trade

[@orsaz924]

Watching this after having tried to play as Mongolia myself, I realise just how skilled Red Hawk is at the game and how much is still have to learn about the game

[@100Parey]

The fact that you are not taking max money while not 100%ing or full annexing disturbs me more than it should

Very well done, man. I feel a little sorry for you - you obviously did not enjoy this game. It was educational though :-)

You can actually get ming to support your independence. You have to time it well so you can get it before ming declares for a tribute on oirat though.

[@zekram5969]

As Monferrat i have a challenge for you. You play until about 1550. Every 5 or 10 years, depending on how hard you want it to be, you have to declare war on the strongest neighbor that borders you. The goal is to reach the greatpowers list, where top 8 is a bronze medal, top 4 is a silver medal and top 1 is a gold medal. Anything else is normal. If you have another plan with monferrat you can of course play this challenge another time.

[@combrade-t]

Isn't Montferrat the Italian minor that can click the decision to restore Byzantium? if it is, then you should restore Byzantium, and maybe as an extra challenge have all the provinces needed to form Rome in the Western Half of the Empire, Becoming West Eastern Rome.

[@TheSaoMagnifico]

No colored wastelands = literally unplayable

[@DIY_Miracle]

I don't terribly mind steppe warfare. Usually you end up just stating the high dev Ming or European provinces. You can get away with letting a lot of your unstated land be sieged out as long as you do it faster and just beat back the occasional flanking army with a reserve army. Actually microing loot is the most annoying thing imo.

[@RightCorrections]

What army composition is the best for horde? 100% cav is way too expensive

[@RightCorrections]

@BobbiusRossius i think you might be right sadly... its very hard to keep up cav :(

[@carlallen22]

Well done think I'm the same as you, as I've never made the big Nations like the Mongol empire, Roman Empire or the Islamic caliphate.

[@IslandHermit]

I've got a world conquest which has been "in progress" for almost a year now. I've never really done much with hordes so I decided to do a WC with Oirat, without switching tags and staying a horde the entire time. I'm now at the point where I keep alternating chipping away at the Commonwealth with chipping away at the Ottomans. I've learned a lot but it has gotten sufficiently tedious that I can only bring myself to play it for a couple of hours once every few weeks.

[@augustosannita9329]

Sorry Red Hawk, but i seriously dont understand why you never took Diplo Ideas when it should be one of your first choices for ideas lol, nice vid anyways

My first game ever after the tutorial thing was Mongolia without the DLC didn’t get anywhere…so I subscribed to the dlc package. Whenever I play as Manchu and constantly beat up Ming they don’t blow up either. I was hoping that would change with this update.

[@charliedamarell9722]

When you say “Beat up Ming” what are you actually doing. Just beating their troops is not enough to force the explosion

[@jeffreyeaton5214]

Best thing to make Ming explode, have of 300 dev(triggers unguarded frontier) and then when at war with Ming, force occupy their territory for a long tiem to cause a ton of devastation(lowers their mandated) and then DEFINITELY occupy *at least* 2 of the 3 key provinces - Beijing, Nanjing, and Canton(lowers mandate for each one they don't control or own). I've been able to successfully nuke Ming every game in the first war, so long as I can do that. Normally I occupy all of Northern China, including Beijing and Nanjing. Sometimes I go further, depending on how well I'm doing financially/militarily; sometimes it's better to just halt in the north, where you can more easily defend if you're too weak to push further

[@IquonYT]

Just a little tip, if you dont know it, you dont need to cancel tributary and loose the stab. Yoy can just refuse giving them the tribute they want a few times. Then they will break it and loose stab.
