Ooooooh, a sponsor, good job men 🙂

[@Green-li4mk]

The next 5 nations are: -Butua (in Zimbabwe) -Butuan (in the Phillipines) -Byzantium (in Greece) -Candar (in Anatolia) -Carib (in South America)

hearing “first goal: actually win the Burgundy-Liege war” made me crack up

[@Podzhagitel]

also Burgundy is one of the top 5 most fun countries in this game fr fr

I suggested it on Twitch 😁

[@DarkLordFromTheSecondAge]

I got the Netherlands achievement as Guelre because Burgundy declared on Liege and i was able to dogpile on them for their vassals. Thanks blursed Burgundy AI

I appreciate the support!

[@giselasilva5415]

I know!! As soon as I heard an ad, first I became enraged as usual, then I remembered its the first time I hear one from The Red Hawk so good on him 👍👍

[@Muck006]

Yes and no ... because this sponsor isnt selling something good due to the fact that you cant boil down good books or complicated topics to the synopsis.

[@kumakohai7499]

As someone already said, by moving your capital to the lowlands region, you prevent the dutch revolt from happening like, ever

[@TheRedHawk]

Yep that’s what I did

[@thereaIyoshi]

As Butua, try to get the Rozwi Empire achievement and try to destroy Butuan (if they still exist) which is the next nation on the list and their name start with "Butua" so it's Butua's rightful cores anyways.

Does Butuan have unique ideas?

Now this is where the fun begins

[@efulmer8675]

22:30 I had a game as Austria where Burgundy decided to become my junior partner, I inherited them, and had the Dutch Revolt disaster ticking myself. I just moved my capital to Amsterdam until 1650 and then moved it back to Vienna.

Would have been a funny goal to go for the BERGundian inheritance and get a pu on berg as burgundy but its a little late now.

As someone from there I was very impressed when I suddenly heard 'Aachen' pronounced correctly out of the blue! Usually my home city gets butchered af Edit: btw, Aix-La-Chappelle is French for Aachen (we have a nice cathedral that was started by Charlemagne)

[@phunkracy]

Its Aquisgran in my language lol, how many names does this city have

[@incarnate3276]

@@phunkracy Aquisgrana is the Latin name for it. It is an old city. It is called Aken in Dutch/Flemish, Aachen in German, Aix-la-Chapelle in French. Those are the ones I know off. A very beautiful city, rich in history, I lived there for 9 years.

[@rontubman6953]

Pro tip for the PU under france thing: if you wait and keep Charlie around long enough to beat up france and make it your vassal, when you reintegrate with the French you stay free *and* inherit your subjects, at the price of having your ruler be that of France

[@rontubman6953]

As a side note, Aix-la-Chapelle is just French for Aachen, as it was the capital of the Frankish Kingdom

[@kylekelly1167]

They need to undo some of their nerfs pillage capital and centralize state is useless now.

I hope that paradox adds a lot more alt history missions because lotherangia is just so fun, imagine forming francia as france, and when you do it will create a new culture group (french -> west francian, lowlands burgandy and savoy -> middle francian and germen lands will become east francian) on all controlled provinces following the culture and region

[@krankarvolund7771]

When you're so powerful, that your allies prefer to see you as a subject of another nation XD

[@andreasgum3718]

I tried doing this, but I ended up with an annoying situation unlike this guide. So I completed the Public Weal and then King of the Franks missions, got France's subjects, entered under a PU with France at the Burgundian Crisis and inherited all my subjects: both PUs and Vassals. But I should not have waited to declare my independence from France until the truce, because France decided to release all of the Netherlands as various nations, so Holland, Brabant, Hainaut and Flanders became their own nations. Not sure how France could do that. Maybe an event? I still have my cores on these nations, so I'll take them back after beating France and gain my independence. I'll be doing the mission so I enter the HRE before reclaiming my cores.

[@andreasgum3718]

I realise I also ended up losing Bar, Lorraine, and Luxembourg.

Now i am already 1000 gov cap (lot of courthouses) with around 1500 dev and 400 subject dev. BUT i still need to do my missions becoming a dutchy with 1500 dev and 400 dev vassals? naaah, dont feel like that. Guess i will need to grow up and start PU'ing the whole HRE.

That thing you said about accidentally clicking and starting a war and how it happens to you more often than to anybody else. You sure about that? That was a DoW on Trier. I suspect Burgundian AI accidentally clicks that each game.

[@MrThefoxyone]

Right energy but badly executed. You want to declare on France with Reconquest with all the new vassals/give some of their cores back when you take Paris. Then fall under PU with France, declare Independence, annex.

[@lorefox201]

"this campaign as burgundy HAS BEEN A SUCCEESS" He says while being swarmed by the whole European Union he helped creating by dismantling the HRE

[@rileyrose5166]

Question! Are you gonna go back to play countries that retroactively receive flavor? Like how augsburg used to be too generic but now they have an achievement for them?

[@gutoanime]

Best strategy is make all VASSAL and abdicate Charles ! Simples, Sarvoy, Provence, Liege, ALL Vassal and annex. With favor, you make Austria or Emperor of HRE, have Reduce Opinion for Liege or your target in HRE.

[@profeseurchemical]

want an eu4 youtuber to form lotharingia and go down the mission tree to unite all of the former frankish empire

Challenge for the next the campaign. Do not take Strengthen Noble Privileges. Seriously though this looked fun will need to play Burgundy when my Tunis game is up. Actual suggestion for Butua. Take every landlocked province in Africa. No coasts allowed.

[@krankarvolund7771]

Hey Burgundy this is how it's done. No need to beat up Austria, if you've already beat up Austria to dismantle the HRE. I don't think it's a plan as genius as you think XD
