How about instead of "Boats Only", you do a similar run but "No Manpower"? That way you could at least get marines to do something but would still fit the theme of a strong naval game.

[@thatfischguy4729]

Mercs don’t take up manpower though

[@darksuperganon]

@@thatfischguy4729 Mercs have their own manpower pool, although "Mercs Only" could be a neat alternative.

[@FarmerSlayerFromTheEdoPeriod]

@@darksuperganon Roman empire run

[@bigmanfred8166]

Mercs would make it to easy, more like a marine only run

[@KrolPawi]

There is a possibility you all dont See here. There is a policy in songhai that gives you manpower when you pillage capital or take forts. Alghtough you would probably need to remove natural manpower recovery by modding it into the game somehow

[@averagejacobinsubscriber]

As far as I am concerned, beating the English navy as Iceland and blockading them for 20 years is absolutely a victory. Your viking ancestors would be proud. o7

[@romulusnuma116]

Had a recently experience where Scotland was forced to just the Shetland Islands but won wars against Denmark and England forcing them to release nations because the AI cannot navy

[@TheKlaun9]

Wouldn't it have helped if you deactivated your vassals being called into war? Anyhow, thanks for going through this hell for us

[@QuarbitGaming]

I was hoping they'd make troops or something

[@hodgebodge]

@@QuarbitGaming is it possible for the AI to declare on your vassals if they're scuttages?

[@lilysap3964]

@@hodgebodge scuttage just means they won't be called into offensive wars if an ai declares either on the subject or on you they will join

[@hodgebodge]

@@lilysap3964 I seem to recall Laith doing something where he had scuttages as a naval nation and they wouldn't declare

[@darkZarchon]

For eking out a bit of warscore, it is actually helpful to build forts. Especially in a decades-long grind, they devalue percentage occupied territory. Plus you can always delete them after the war. Of course, Iceland tends to be pressed for building slots, but it looked like you had some open ones still. (edit: only helps if they have some of your land if that wasn't clear)

[@StrudelerOfTheTSociety]

It's pretty cool how you did this run just to get the fabled 'trading in cod' modifier. Even cooler was taunting Britons with that modifier the whole game.

[@matthewhannigan1916]

I think AlzaboHD did a similar challenge of only boats starting as the isles. As I recall he managed to ally denmark and rely on them to do land battles and conquer Scotland while he blockaded the entire country

[@Lady_Rhea]

I would definitely like to see this idea again, but where you are allowed Marines because just a tiny amount of leeway would go a long way :)

[@Lady_Rhea]

I also feel like Ireland would be a good call because it is controllable and difficult for England to do anything about

[@Lady_Rhea]

Also why didn't you colonise?

[@QuarbitGaming]

couldn't be bothered. might do a marines only run tho

No can do Sir. The portuguese used to obliterate muslins by 1550 in Índia with such Battleships, always heavily outnumbered.

[@Urlik7]

That was really neat. Thanks!

[@CliffjunglingNagaSiren]

I've noticed current patch that the AI is completely incapable of any kind of naval invasions. In my mzab-caliphate run GB has been at war with Scotland's last province in the Hebrides for 20 years without landing... Twice.

[@thatponybro6940]

man, this Hearts of Iron 4 mod looks sick, i'll have to show my friends this

[@faisalalghassab3138]

You could scuttle your vassals to prevent them from being besieged

[@FancyBurrito47]

Yup, that would have made things easier for him

[@triploshadow]

Scuttage makes your vassals not being called into war, but they can still be directly attacked.

[@DognutJoe]

They actually said they are adding a raiding map mode in the July 5th dev diary.

[@lorenzopaganini6120]

you could have colonized to get colonial nations' armies

[@TheColombianSpartan]

recently did a cornwall > Dumnonia > Celtica run in Legacy of Seljuk. I went Norse and my navy was undefeatable. i quite liked it

[@informinform7987]

I love the background music you play in your videos \o/

[@Osariik]

An EU4 game? From Quarbit? I never expected that

[@starliaghtsz8400]

as iceland or finland, its usually better to get independant from denmark first before doing the release and play as

[@tzardnickolasthelitromanov]

I really wish that Iceland would get at least some flavor in ideas by reflecting their viking past with the new update, it really seems like a missed opportunity. It would've been great if they could go Pagan Norse and even reform the Northern Sea (or Danelaw) Empire.

[@kahedakylar]

what music u use at 3:49? its pretty cool

[@alpacalemon2322]

interesting concept

[@gabrieel1822]

England be like: You... should've allied France... *snaps*

[@2Links]

Alzabo also did a great video on this if I remember correctly.

[@micahbonewell5994]

Surprised you didn't go for colonies since that is what is iceland is built for, and the colonies could you give you a armies.

[@nicholascooper945]

the fact that Iceland is getting no new content in this next patch is a travesty :')

[@Baileybirdnola]

"privateer map mode" isn't there a map mode for devastation or prosperity?
