I am a proud member of Laith nation 🫡

[@tyranniaa176]

Kosovo is Laith Nation

[@ohNojames]

It’s a duchy. But a rich one.

[@darielhi1567]

i love lathe too

[@burgerking2783]

@@ohNojames it will be an empire soon

[@notme8232]

Nations didn't really exist in 1444, so it would be more historically accurate to say "Laith Kingdom/Empire"

[@hipsterjustice]

the laith nation is one of the starting opms you use to form the social streamers

[@skipperxiv9401]

25:28 Fun fact: Songhai is also playable in Civilization 5 and the leader in this event (Askia) is their leader in Civilization.

Same with Korea and Sejong, who rules the country in 1444.

[@samuelmalaby7498]

I picked Songhai as my first nation after Origins, and my god, WHAT a ride! you can really play so agressively, but still make use of a ton of diplomatic stuff if you go down the fetishist path of your mission tree. they're SO flexible, and you can get SO much out of the stuff that they do that its absurd!

[@makaramuss]

I picked Mali ... :(

[@makiskanyt9269]

I went with Ethiopia into Axum, what a lovely campaign

[@SzymonSaysStuff]

"Red Hawk taught me that literally today. Doesn't matter cause he died anyway." Damn, rip Red Hawk, you will be missed. :(

[@HalfLord]

I'm going to need you to continue to do the Laith nation bit, its hilarious.

[@C1azed]

so AE actually spreads to every nation that you can see but if the AI cant see you (aka has "unknown" attitude towards you) they wont join coalitions

[@rileygraney9568]

Songhai is genuinely one of the best nations in Africa, I really love playing as it and just dominating Africa

[@heisenstein6392]

Now try Mossi (you're in for a treat!)

[@tertmade9769]

Songhai is really fun war mongering nation, I defeated 3 nations at once, stack wiping them out of existence

[@feldspar1496]

13:30 if you got called as a co belligerent every time you accepted an offensive call to arms, then you would be able to also call in your allies so possible infinite chain of calling alliances.

[@tigrecito48]

Hey Laith, I had a playthru idea... Play as Kong... conquer Kongo... colonize all the way around to Asia, conquer Hong Kong... then Conquer all of Japan. Its the Kong Vs Godzilla playthru... whats the fastest time you could complete this?

[@burtreynolds8030]

Quick laith before Red Hawk gets to K in his A to Z, excellent idea

[@cuniving7831]

Fall of civilisations has an honest to God incredible, better than most tv quality documentary about the songhai and some west African history in general. Highly recommend

[@DognutJoe]

16:30 This event only triggers above 10 war exhaustion. If your ruler is careful, you can instead increase the autonomy of a random state.

[@Lukana4009]

Trust does affect vassalization acceptance! for every 5 trust you get +2 to the vassalization acceptance. Very useful for when you barely cant vassalize a small nation, just curry favors and you are set!

[@tigrecito48]

going diplomatic ideas and diplo vassalising all the smaller nations is pretty op.. ive been doing that a lot recently.. war and conquest of big nations, diplo vassalising & annexing small nations.. in fact i think its better than this whole releasing vassals and reconquesting thing and force vassalising.. cos they already like you and its quick to annex them meaning if u get tons of diplo relations & reasonably good diplo rep, u can constantly be annexing & expanding with no ae.. combine with espionage ideas..

[@kyleelward5445]

wouldn't espionage be better for the vassilization acceptance? if you want it for rep and relations influence would be better for annexation cost

[@goranpersson7726]

force vassalising is indeed the worst way to get a vassal as they will have a negative opinion of you, even doing a full annex of a tag to then release it as a vassal is better because it saves coring costs atleast and it resets the opinion

[@tigrecito48]

@@goranpersson7726 i prefer to take one province with their tag, and if im already nearly 100% oe, i take a bunch of extra non their core provinces that puts me over 100% and then i release the opm and feed them those uncored provinces (after forcing religion) cos liberty desire doesnt go up much if they are small and giving provinces makes them happier.. then i do a reconquest on the next war to take their other provinces back.. and they spend time converting provinces to my religion and coring so i dont have to

[@blue291]

Omg... you clearly are on a roll today: "What am I? Redhawk?". Glad you are feeling better; it shows.

[@luciaparlo8662]

Came for the fun eu4 content, stayed for good vibes and dad jokes @3:23

[@I_want_White_Cheddar_Popcorn]

Laith, I suggest playing democratic Mexico in Hoi4, it is STUPID powerful and fun

[@SpitZen7]

Laith, the event about the heir dying, the game has already decided the outcome so there is no reason to take "Send a trained medicus"

[@DatDutchDudeDirk]

Fetishism is actually pretty great when you give out the right estate rights like embracing the singular cult allows you to double the effect of your cult. And your heir adds *another* 25%. For example, when I play as Kongo, you can get 106.2% discipline from day 1, before you even get an advisor

[@enric2609]

i want to be like laith where i can just do whatever i want and still salvage the situation lmaoooooooo

[@Nosewrecky]

Love these longer vids!

[@tigrecito48]

i was playing a nation where i had 200k troops and i went a bit over oe like 198% and then 340k rebels spawned in in one single rebel faction.. that was a bad day

[@MariosCousin]

"A bit over" "198%" almost double lol

[@Salvara]

Man I don't get it when I was playing papal state I had consistently over 150% for over a hundred years. It was fine, the micro was tedious but after a certain point you just have enough soldiers to deal with it

[@tigrecito48]

@@Salvara i dont think ur expanding enough mate.. or everyone else has some easier version of the game than me.. my recent playthru i had 58 rebel factions in like 1520

[@Salvara]

@@tigrecito48 I had them too, this would've been from 1650s to 1750s. I was economic hegemon and had more than half a million troops over force limit. After a certain point its just God mode lol

[@tigrecito48]

@@Salvara i find that my rebels just never seem to go away.. i get bored with playing the game... i spend like 9/10 of the game trying to find where rebels will spawn and sending my troops to them.. its tedious.. i do a war.. tons of rebels are near spawning.. i spend like 2 years pissing about trying to kill rebels, i do another war... the same amount of rebels are back again.. and the numbers just keep increasing.. the only time i dont get rebels much is if u go humanitarian (a waste of an idea) or religious (not much better) & get 100% unity.. or expand really slowly.. maybe i should be culture converting more? or not converting religions so much and having tolerance or heretics & heathens? maybe there is a strategy i dont know about.. or maybe youtubers have some mod to reduce rebels? cos to be honest most youtubers seem to always have plenty of manpower & almost no rebels.. unless they just cut those bits out of the video? seems to me, either they are doing tricks /exploits or cheats cos in my playthrus i always have non stop rebel problems that just get worse & worse.. i almost never get beyond 1650 because its just boring to deal with them

[@fargonotic]

this was perhaps the most unhinged game of eub4 I was ever lucky enough to witness

Liked and subscribed. Laith derping is always fun.

[@kyleelward5445]

i really think you should be able to merge merc stacks with armys or atleast when attached all armies move at the same speed even if it was the slowest speed i wouldnt mind but would actually make merc stacks more useful and not just get stackwiped for no reason

[@InfernoGuy94]

They used to be recruited as individual 1k stacks just like regular armies, and they were able to merge with your regular armies. I'm not sure why they changed it, although I do like the fact you have a variety of different mercs to choose from now, cheaper and more expensive.

[@kyleelward5445]

@@InfernoGuy94 yeah i remember the change i do prefer the new mercs they feel more like actual armies you're hiring and not just an endless horde of free troops late game when money is irrelevant but them not travelling with your stacks and awful unite composition makes them impossible to use and nations that focus around mercs pretty weak
