In this video titled EU4 A to Z - They Said THIS NATION Is UNPLAYABLE I do a playthrough as Epirus in Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of Epirus , and I attempt to form the nation of The Two Sicilies and the form the nation of Greece. So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

[@connorh2215]

If you use the favors action “ask to prepare for war” it adds 20 reasons for people to join your war for 10 favors.

[@WlatPziupp]

20 I think. The tooltip really should say how much it is, if it doesn't bring them over the brink it's literally worthless

[@altonmiles144]

@@WlatPziupp i belive its 10 favors for 5 trust and each trust gives 1 reason so after the diplo rep guy Hawk could definitely have gotten aragon in at the expense of delayed provinces

[@connorh2215]

@@WlatPziupp thank you, I wasn’t sure if it was 10 or 20

I was about to write exactly what you and Alton Miles said because it annoyed me, that he didnt do it ^^

[@hansmercier2809]

prepare for war can't be done if you are already at war. Trust above 50 will work however.

[@juandave17]

When making a rival a vassal, make them end their rivalry with you in the peace deal, then you won’t get the “vassalized by rival” modifier

You should have traded favours for trust to get Aragon to join the war.

I suppose he used a lot of favors to take Napoli's cores back...

[@94sjolander]

@@kostasmrk6205 16:08 You can see that he got 19 favours ready in the sidebar at the time when he was attempting to call them in. Using 10 to increase the trust and then waiting a few months to reach 10 to call them in would have done the trick.

[@elgirl19]

With the attitude modifier you can use favors to reduce opinion and that usually works!

[@Rommel12]

Never worked for me, but I guess that's EU4 for you.

[@Galaron100]

@@Rommel12 They have to be under a threshold of opinion, but it has worked for me like 70% of the time. Considering the problem was Ottomans/catholics, the reduce opinion would probably work this time.

[@Rommel12]

@@Galaron100 I've had catholic nations with sub -100 relations with the Ottomans keep that relations modifier to joining wars more times than I care to count. I've also had nations with red coloured provinces of interests in the target nation and relations in the negatives maintain the relations modifier to joining wars. So while it SHOULD work, it clearly doesn't. At least not whenever I try to use it.

[@robinchevillon1865]

16:00, you could have spend 10 favors to increase your trust with aragon by 5. Each trust points above 50 increases reasons to join offensive wars by one.

[@aldbgbnkladg]

you definitively need a meme video clip for "Strengthen Noble Privileges"

[@martinkunz7155]

Nice run. Also, I like the map color of greece.

[@jelmar35]

Historical greece in southern Italy!

[@Scitch87]

If you have an ally close to helping you out in a war you can trade favors for trust (if you're not already at a 100 trust). Each 5 trust above 50 will give an ally +5 reason to join you in a war if i recall correctly.

[@Rachel-dx5yn]

It's a shame that Ethiopa is an end-game tag, because forming Israel is fun. I guess you could release Semien as a vassal and feed them the provinces but I'm not sure if vassals can take the decision or if the AI would want to.

You can reduce opinion for 10 favors to get rid of 'attitude towards enemies' modifier. It usually helps but sometimes it's a bit broken as everything else in eu4

[@syko6973]

You can curry favors with your strong allies, then ask them to reduce opinion of a certain nation, anf then prepare for war, that gives you a shit load of reasons for them to join your offensive wars

Misery is the best drug Hawk.

[@MichuGPL]

Idk if it has been already written here, but you could have traded 10 of your favors to trust with Aragon to get the modifier +X (1, 2 or 5 idk right now) for them to join war (you had 19 favors when declaring war, get it to 20, spend 10 on trust and 10 on calling to war) 16:17 (when ally has trust over 50 it is more willing to join offensive war on your side)

[@MichuGPL]

and with higher trust (over 50) countries are more willing to become vassal and so on, but with vassalization it is +1 for each 5 trust over 50 i think.
