Which strategy should I use as Shewa to become a great power next time? Leave a comment here. Check out more Releasables here: kzbin.info/aero/PLsO8A6cTBggvdKKNSIt3lES1mSDe8quI-

[@Stevonicus]

Shewa is interesting because it was the base of the modern Solomonic dynasty that overthrew the Zagwe dynasty, and claimed descent from the Axumite kings, which in turn traced their genealogy to Solomon from the Bible, but it also had Muslim rulers for a time before the EU IV start date. Either embracing islam and allying with the Ottomans or Timurids, or proving yourself to be the true Ethiopia could be fun.

[@dartepp9965]

As Shewa, help create the army of Prester Jean. Help the Knights take the Holy Land so they can form Jerusalem. Flipping the Knights to Coptic is a huge bonus. Making sure the Coptic Holy sites are Coptic controlled is also a bonus.

[@rasagreywalker]

Since you're playing in the Ethiopia region a "Gondor (Gondar) calls for aid" strategy utilizing vassals to help meet your goals might be a neat theme.

[@Stevonicus]

Sapmi, Karelia and Finland all existing is a beatiful sight, even if you had to eat one of them

[@mikeandersson1486]

Poland allied to Ottomans and Muscovy, Hungary expanding to HRE. What a timeline 😄

[@JohnCena-zt8kh]

As Shewa you should grow your nation to the point that you're on the great powers list with another great power below you. After Colonialism is embraced too so that the videos don't stretch too long

[@JohnCena-zt8kh]

Also fully annex your overlord. I think that would be cool.

[@Randybobandy12345]

You might be onto something here

[@illmaster]

I think the great power below you need to have Colonialism too. So you can be sure he is a legit great power

[@feldov]

I think that nation ruining should be banned in this challenge to make it more funnier

[@alecity4877]

7:13 no, it is not new, it has been there for a few years now.

[@TheLibermania]

EU IV KZbinr, Either learns everything perfect or barely knows something if it's helpful.

[@wiel5908]

@@TheLibermania perfectly balanced

[@anonymousperson-vh5bb]

also the thing about max tolerance has been in the game for a few years

[@napalmblaziken]

As someone who plays Livonian Order quite frequently, it is fun. By rivaling Teutons, you avoid getting dragged into their war with PLC. While they do ally Denmark usually, if you manage to get Poland (and Lithuania is Poland rejects the PU) that problem solves itself. Once you get the Teutons, Poland will likely break the alliance, but I usually find a deterrent in Bohemia or Austria. But the best part is if you go colonial. By no CBing an Irish minor, you can use that to deny GB some Irish provinces, and can punch far above your weight. One time I managed to form a large colonial empire as Livonia with colonies in Canada, Eastern US, West Africa, South Africa, Cascadia, Indonesia, Australia, and California.

[@greenrocket23]

I think the lower lighting setting for your camera is also good to be honest

[@imperialisticvonhabsburg3149]

16:35 on the newest patch HRE OPMs love getting catholic defender of the faith. I assume that's what happened.

[@Barista.Nathan]

Let me tell you, I am very glad that this is how it works, I was terrified that essentially what would happen is France or Castillo would take defender of the faith and mean that playing as any other religion would mean constantly fighting Wars against major powers in Europe. Instead it means that every single time I fight a colonial Nation as the inca, Hamburg or Frankfurt get involved lol.

[@jameshoxworth6447]

Wtf so did Spain take defender of faith to screw me over

[@94sjolander]

16:50 defender of faith? I've seen hre opms claim that very often this patch.

[@TheLibermania]

Fighting in the beginn against the Livonian Order. I once played Riga. Livonian Order got the Kalmar Union, Teutonics and Poland-Lithuania as allies while having Muscovy guaranteeing them.

[@sprites75]

Poland , allied to muscowy and ottomans: come at me bro

[@valeriosammarco5254]

Maximum tolerance is different from acutal tolerance, because you have a max tolerance for heretics and heatens and that value is the maximum tolerance you can have, unless you increase it by the maximum tolerance modifier.

[@karlwittenburg5868]

@16:44 Frankfurt was probably Defender of the Faith. I’ve noticed in this patch that a lot of small HRE minors like claiming DotF and basically wrestle with each other for it

[@szwajcer9862]

It's a pity we don't have custom goals for releasables because for Shewa you could conquer Yemen and then Jerusalem to bring Salomon gifts as the queen of Shewa.

[@jemleye]

Nice seeing a big-ish Karelia, homeland represent o7

[@sinanefekral878]

hey hawk great video as always! btw which mod are you using for expanded UI, i looked but couldnt find one works with 1.37

[@r.t.5767]

3:20 maximum tolerance of heretics is a different modifier. There is a tolerance cap and it just increases that (doesn't actually improve tolerance in itself)

[@michaelsurratt1864]

I like the new editor style

[@chriswilliamson9993]

It's not only you - in my current Timurids game, I had to deal with the Ottomans allied to both France and a fat HRE Emperor Bohemia

[@3Midlo]

As Shewa, get your country name on the biggest Shewasteland you can (probably the Sahara)

[@freespiritedd]

As Shewa conquer all of Ethiopia and convert it to Sunni. Bonus goal: Conquer Rome and convert it as well to show the Italians who's the real boss.

[@Randybobandy12345]

Sweden had a rough one today

[@Newbmann]

I think frankfurt got involved with the muscovite lithuanian war because of frankfurt becomeing the defender of faith. Ive seen some weird small german tags become defender of the faith in the newest patch.

[@joshdonkin7777]

Are you still going to do the army composition guide?

[@IronWolf123]

Fun fact: Dorpat is Tartu.

[@FriedChckn13]

As Shewa, you must prove that you are not waShe(d). Win a war with the Humiliate Rival CB against the current #1 Great Power and secure the Show of Strength victory condition.

[@Luchabul]

Not A to Z

[@jadonclow1864]

I feel like the goal has actually just become to be above Portugal or England lol

Frankfurt probably was the Defender of Faith. With the new patch AI always takes if it can.

[@remidepont2603]

Francfort was helping Lithuania against Moscovy probably because of Defender of Faith since Moscovy is Orthodox

[@IronWolf123]

17:47 Nah, I thought I was worse.

[@Aris-ur6iy]

You need to complete this series before eu5 release

[@danieltehrani1396]

As Shewa just have a nice chill campaign or move to New Zealand

[@user-yl3sf9pk9s]

High income mission now gives a cheap advisor, so it is not a complete waste.

[@lorefox201]

Sapmi Karelia And Finland all popping out absolute clown world in Scandinavia

[@Pokeeko]

That was such a cursed world LOL

[@scotthilditch1437]

Do like the complete lack of mention of Karelia being around

[@lordkilljoy9652]

man last like 3 games I played Livonians conquered Russia while I was in Italy

[@poprostupatyk]

at my current game as najd ottomans has alliance with france and commonwealth and every time i have broken that alliance they get it again...

[@IronWolf123]

Weird theory, but if you form the Netherlands which removes all your provinces from the HRE, is it possible to conquer the HRE leaving one province for the HRE or causing the empire to get destroyed?

[@x0lopossum]

17:40 worst RNG

[@tonyisthinking7078]

as shewa, get iceland, because PAIN

[@derekskelton4187]

Such a shame to me there's no way to go Romuvan. Would just be a fun touch if you're playing in the region not as one of the holy orders

[@dff8088]

As Shewa, you should learn where on the map they are.

[@olyaddewo2379]

As Shewa, form Aksum and become the Holy Roman Emperor. However, you must be a Coptic emperor, as Shewa is a majority Coptic region in Ethiopia now.

[@BreitMCvsDuzoe]

POV develop provinces before culture shift ´5 head move

[@user-ql5bo1ho9s]

As Shewa, you are a Sunni nation when released. So go form the Holy Roman Empire or become emperor (the comments will decide) to compensate for the fact that you formed the caliphate with Portugal.

[@vah3439]

Which series is this?

[@Pokeeko]

Shit objective

[@eldanaroilumbar]

Stop with your shitty ideas

[@olyaddewo2379]

Switch to Coptic though so he has to be a Coptic emperor, that would be more of a challenge.

[@user-ql5bo1ho9s]

@@olyaddewo2379 defeats the point. Red hawk went from Christian to Muslim, so he needs to go from Muslim to Christian.

[@fidoruh]

Poland diplo game stronk

[@matthewmcneany]

Pretty sure Frankfurt became Defender of the faith, I've noticed this a lot in the current patch, basically any time I dropped below 100 prestige a Catholic minor in the HRE would snipe the DoF away from me immediately get called into some stupid war and lose the DoF. Too much money, too few building slots in this patch gotta spend 500 Ducats on some nonsense and screw yourself over if you're an AI I guess.

[@matthewmcneany]

Kinda annoying behaviour tbqh. Maybe DoF should always have been limited to Kingdom rank or higher.

[@AGrumpyPanda]

@@matthewmcneany The main issue is that the criteria to take Defender from someone is having more prestige than them. Think about how it would look in-world, would anyone really take a OPM or small theocracy in Germany seriously if they claimed that it was them, not France or Spain for example, that was the defender of the Catholic realm? Of course not, no matter how many fancy courtiers they've hired to pump up their prestige.

[@Solmyr77]

Tfw Finland, Karelia, and Sapmi exist.

[@matthewborg8716]

As Shewa! Conquer and form askum and advance to west Africa

[@kristiandimitrov7066]

The thumbnail lied to me

[@MuppetLord1]

Can always culture swap to a scandinavian culture if you want to form another nation I suppose. :)

[@chriswilliamson9993]

Livonia would be a much easier formable.

[@TrevorTucker-pc6vw]

Still, series shoulda been called release the beast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Jefrings]

15:59 Never in my 2869 (nice) hours of EU4 have I EVER seen a Muscovy-Poland alliance (an Ottoman-Muscovy alliance sure, but never this)! That is some next level of bad luck right there! Edit: 17:43. BRUH, if lady luck was a person. She would be the arch nemesis of Hawk.

[@doc.rankin577]

Next Game: Start as Castile, form Mexico, Conquer and culture switch to Altaic, form Yuan, culture convert all of China to Mexican, congrats... you have formed the Great Juan.

[@John_1-1_in_Japanese]

>You Should NEVER PLAY In THIS REGION Based & true. The only purpose of the Baltics is turning it into trade companies, escaping it (Teutons into the Steppe or Germany), or having already escaped it as Lithuania.
