EU4 A to Z - THIS Nation Made Me Wish I NEVER PLAYED EU4

What should I do as Mantua next time? Leave a comment here and join The Discord to chat with me: discord.gg/ksDjjUhKHd Check out more A to Z here: kzbin.info/aero/PLsO8A6cTBgguikj9y8lUVsz_P7pz3Pluj

[@crocworks]

Mantua's national idea starts with a Fort Maintenance discount. Abuse that as much as you can. Every province you conquer must have a fort built in it before you can conquer another province.

[@bengreenhagen8287]

For Mantua: Since there's a Matua Winery in New Zealand, maybe you should have to colonize and conquer New Zealand?

[@Gilla491]

Take every province that starts with 'Man'. Here's the list: Manado, Managua, Manahahttan, Manahoac, Manaus, Mandara, Mandla, Mandsaur, Mandu, Manfalut, Manga, Mangala, Mangazea, Mangyshlak, Manhartsberg, Manidurg, Manila, Manipur, Manitowapow, Mann, Manokwari, Mansur, Mansura, Mantua, Manych, Manyika

[@diamzaphkiel3833]

Since Mantua is the only Italian nation which has imperial authority in its ideas, you could form Italy and become HRE emperor. Also, Mantua is quite famous for being a fortified town, being one ot the four fortresses at the edges of the "Quadrilatero" (A defensive system in Lombardy-Venetia in easily-defendible areas used by the Austrian Empire in the Italian Wars of Independence in the 19th century), and Mantuan ideas reflect that. Maybe you could maximise the whole defensiveness thing by getting ideas such as defensive and infrastructure, and maybe building a fort in every province in the region of Italy.

[@IronWolf123]

Someone did the Three Empires achievement as Mantua; Being the EoC, Russian Emperor and HR Emperor

[@firmanimad]

Redhawk: (elaborates on the first idea according to situation and challenges) Redhawk, everytime: "Let's just pick quality."

[@SereglothIV]

Also, in this episode: "I need to make more money" *picks defensive*

[@larnihanshu695]

I am from Manipur, sad to know that my motherland is going under a civil war currently and many people are homeless and casualty, plus the internet is banned over there for more then 1 month.😢

[@greenrocket23]

Sad to hear this. I tried to find information about what's happening in Manipur, but couldn't find much that I could make sense of. What could you write about this situation that would be safe for you to share with the comments section? Thank you for your time, and safe travels to you.

[@Nois-ufnoc]

This is exactly why I hate the news. So much going on in the world and they waste time harping on bs to make us hate one another. Sorry to hear about that going on. Please fill us in if you have more info.

[@SixJayy]

I didn’t know, just read about it. I hope things get resolved asap. Do you still live there, and if so, are you safe?

[@SereglothIV]

It's a shame the goal wasn't achieved again. Maybe taking more land for marches would be good? But I'm really glad that you listen to the comments and pick crazy goals, even of it's *pain* ;) That's why this series is so good! :D

[@bengreenhagen8287]

I love this challenge. But it just might not be possible without pushing the vassal game really hard.

[@DylanSargesson]

I did a Manipur "Animal Kingdom" run a couple weeks ago, obviously very hard start (it's like on Mzab level), but very fulfilling once you break out.

[@coper2098]

22:45 when I was going for all the Spanish achievements, Somalia had become the #2 gp

[@treekangaroo.7691]

As Mantua, become Mann

[@HumanPerson_final]

I’m not amazing at the game, but something I make sure to do when I’m in a position where I need to keep a big ally is invest in bumping up their trust. I think it’s an undervalued mechanic by most players.

[@SereglothIV]

I was really annoyed when I had a strong ally for the entire campaign (usually someone like Spain or Commonwealth) and then they suddenly broke their alliance simply because I was the only eligible rival for them. Then I found out that having high trust prevents them from doing so.

[@WhiteLama]

Yeah, 100 Trust and they don’t break an alliance unless they had to rival you (due to no other rivals).

[@grabbers6520]

@@WhiteLama pretty sure ai won't ever rival you at 100 trust

[@grampaseri]

@@grabbers6520 This is correct.

[@FedericoApuzzo]

Mantua was one of the sets of Pasolini's "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom", so you should form Israel or Jerusalem

[@Nyingmaba]

Oh I like this (tho he won't do it lol) - that movie is set in the most godless and godforsaken country, so the goal is to shift to the opposite lol

[@thestudentYT]

You should really ask Zlewikk to save this Game and try to finish your goal! That would be fun for sure :)

[@korvasterindar9672]

It was in that moment, on the cusp of victory, that all of India looked to one another and said, "Yeah fuck that guy." And dogpiled on him Good attempt, entertaining video regardless ^^

[@oberstkostlich6794]

Hey, if you realy, want to encircle India, I wouldn't mind if you use vassals as a power-backup. You could turn them into marches(not integrating anyway) and expand into non-border provinces with them.

[@grabbers6520]

You should've just done the Animal Kingdom achievement as the challenge. It's a fairly difficult achievement on it's own since you'll usually have to win against a lot of indian majors whilst everyone hates you for being animist

[@aryanupadhyay6492]

first by the way i have played as manipur and later converted into hindu and then sikh it was fun and i even formed bharat but it took me whole lot of time and starting was tuff no was helping me in war and few times bengal attacked me early and i have to restart and love you seeing in pain

[@albertoponso5749]

As Mantua was razed and never came back to its glory during 30 years war, as Mantua become emperor and win the religious league war or even better prevent it from firing. Second possibility: as Mantua rule the entirety of Italy while also having the maximum possible numbers of nations in Italy released as your vassals

[@Scitch87]

Honestly i enjoy the bit more "realistic" challenges more. For example if you had to conquer the whole of india instead of just the outer parts. The PAIN from this feels more frustrating than enjoyable.

[@SereglothIV]

But simply conquering regions is what every single youtuber in every single campaign does. Crazy goals are what makes A to Z so unique :)

[@tzeentchvonsheo9868]

Well it wouldn'be a challenge it would be easier if it was whole india

[@Rosemarie_and_tomato]

As Mantova is a female clothing, control as Mantova at leas 1 "clothing" trade good from every continent (in other words, any clothes, fur, cotton or wool" And finish with forming Manchu

[@BalefireBird]

1:55 DDRJake and his Animal Kingdom run - represent.

[@extinctzebroid]

If you try this again in future, i think a potential strategy is to play tall - especially with tax dev because of the lack of trade control.

[@Ceramicbull]

As Mantua, conquer all of Scandinavia. For absolutely no reason.

[@viniciusyugulis7278]

The starting Mantuan leader is nicknamed "the Turk", so you should obviously form Rûm as Mantua

[@Phantom-mg5cg]

I played Manipur once for the achievement and it wasn’t that hard. I managed to ally Jaunpur and Orissa and they helped me beating up Bengal after I conquered the little north-east Indian nations. At some point during the first bengalese war I went almost bankrupt, but I debased my currency and won thanks to my huge army and my allies.

[@HazmanFTW]

Such a classic episode, return to form with this one

[@hansmercier2809]

Bankruptcy and internal conflicts, it is classic A to Z. I kinda missed this lol I guess all eu4 players are a bit masochist

[@Dariuzsd1]

He got so much closer this time! Cant wait for the next time Red plays an Indian border country

[@lantredasphodele5858]

Welp am not into border gore and weird chalenge so i pass on this one ! See ya for the next vid ^^ continue the great work !

[@jacklovejoy5290]

In Europa Expanded Mantua has a focus on horses and cavalry, so why not migrate to the Steppes and become the Horse Lord (by having the trading bonus for cattle)

[@StrudelerOfTheTSociety]

This is too difficult; if you get ensnared in this region again you should do something tall-ish like convert the eastern Indo-Aryans and all of Myanmar to a niche religion like Animist or Vajrayana.

[@leaguesmanoframsgate]

"Has anyone ever played Manipur" DDRJake did an entire campaign with it yeeeeeeears ago. =]

[@albertoponso5749]

Other idea in case you don’t have the achievement yet: get the “Neither Holy nor German” achievement, which requires you to be the HREmperor and have 7 free cities which are not of German culture (as a bonus, have 7 free cities of Latin culture)

[@JKD1994]

Really love that you lost one for once!

[@PhantomCatMusic]

It's been a few years since I did animal kingdom. It was actually a great run. I think I formed a horde and just smashed through India iirc.

[@dr0g_Oakblood]

1:57 - IIRC they have an achievement, so probably yes

[@crocworks]

Back to roots with the bankruptcy and internal conflicts. :)

[@nighfinite]

I wanna see the Red Hawk, Ludi, and Zwelik in an EU4 battle royale.

[@TheJonwashere]

Please send this save when everyone declared war to zlewikk, that would make a great fixing your ruined campaigns episode

[@SereglothIV]

This!

[@anti-spiral159]

If someone gives him context I support it

[@kmanniac]

As Mantua, show how manly the nation is by humiliating or show strength over the Ottomans

[@user-ov2vm4lx6g]

Well, Mantua is known for the "camera degli sposi", the bridal room. So let's just try the atwix legacy achievement with Mantua.

[@anti-spiral159]

"I need money" **takes military idea anyways* Also why not use your vassals? Like literally you could just liberate vassals either in India or on the outside borders for whatever dumbass rule

[@LuxWFC]

Those provinces below you getting separatists is quite a common thing FYI. Have played Manipur a couple of times and it happened each time.

[@gustafarfwidsson1892]

Should have tried for the achievement Manipur has. Unite the Bengal area and convert it to animist

[@Karsuuue]

As Mantua revenge the sacking of Mantua from 1630, so conquer and own Wien and Madrid

[@geojelly9830]

Imagine being from Kale in this timeline. Have a bunch of rebels take over the country so it can be part of Manipur but then the Manipurian people are like; No I don't want your stinking provinces!

[@DvdAvins]

I think for those borders you need a bunch of vassals to feed you trade.

[@igorg1343]

You should focus on south provinces and use fleet to move your army But beat this yellow giant it is not so easy

[@CSDragon]

5:45 why do you ever hit stop recording? Just record the whole thing, you're gonna edit out most of it eitherway

[@specil-k]

Seeing as the starting Mantuan ruler is nicknamed "The Turkish", your task should be to conquer all lands with Turkish culture.

[@celdur4635]

After taking Bengal provinces i would've thought you were gonna swim in cash and manpower and everything. U just had to develop and be more patient.

[@fossar_]

Mozart went and performed in Mantua at just 14 years old. Return the favour (own Wien before 1459)

[@amilavxilmen5632]

ah i love your suffering

[@gabri-immortale]

How did you get the bankruptcy?

[@TheSaoMagnifico]

Pain

[@GioVanni-lw3sm]

Since the melody of the Israeli national anthem was originally inspired by a Renaissance song called 'il Ballo di Mantova' (Mantua dance), next time as Mantua conquer the Holy Land

[@crochetcocoking4275]

I mean you could have vassalized some non indian nation early on to feed it provinces you can't take while also growing your strength

[@Shaduc]

nice

[@jdawg2183]

As MANtua, conquer MANN. Oh and also all of northern Italy.

[@Caterev0038cool]

ik that thesocialstreamers played manipur

[@prosik3208]

You should try doing it as nepali nations

[@rothern3761]

Play stupid games(stupid goals) win stupid prizes

[@159Revan]

Silly outlandish goal? Play an Irish one province minor with the goal to take over Japan.

[@cloakedgt]

honestly i think if you waited about 10-20 years before declaring on Vij i think you wouldve been ok

[@orhblin]

Actually hate those rules, they don't make sense to me.

[@dxni_kshi4380]

gg

[@calmkat9032]

I think as Mantua you should manually put the tag in Japan and form it, since you've done the reverse (kinda) in HRE.

[@tzeentchvonsheo9868]

lol just humiliate rivals for PP and mana points, also take time to drill and dev

[@Stevonicus]

Congratulations on expanding? Tribal animist is a horrible combo.

[@mcvs0475]

🆒

[@matheusGMN]

I don't understand how you, owning so many valuable provinces, don't manage to make enough money?

[@SereglothIV]

Loans and autonomy, probably. Mainly loans. He does rush these campaigns a lot and takes a ton of loans because he doesn't care what happens after completing the goal. This time he didn't count the loans right and bankrupted 😅

[@selcukavc9813]

wrong culture, wrong religion, lots different rebels to fight (because 3 different culture province even with 3 dev means 7~8 k rebels) which means a lot resources wasted

[@marcgargante9776]

Why try to speedrun it? Only 100 years passed, just take it easy to make sure to stabilize the country. It all went down cause of bankrupcy which is all the player's doing

[@marckthemelon3230]

You should have the next goal as an Indian minor to kill and erase all the major nations or own the Himalayas and have the mandate of Heaven. (Because the Himalayas are the highest mountain range on earth so it is an natural place for an nation there to have it 😁.
