Hello after a break! I was sick with some virus and almost spat out my lungs. I hope you are healthy!

[@bigw722]

Glad you’re feeling better :)

[@speedrunman1239]

Feel better

[@Monkey_fingers]

Good to hear you are better

[@donnymartin5879]

Welcome back to the living.

[@Kuzeyhan4]

I hope you're doing good! Thanks for the video 👍

I have now learned new things about the Sardinia piedmont tech tree that I didnt know of, going to use that wheneve i get around to playing montferrat again.

[@lookasetbella]

Many countries can use this tree.

[@lookasetbella]

@imbored7143 Well, there are some, I even have them because I use VIDIQ for statistics, but I think it makes no sense to use AI to communicate with viewers.

Excellent video.

Too bad Byzantium's tier 1 government and missions compel a change to Orthodoxy (EDIT:) to escape a locked reform.

[@lookasetbella]

I'll check again, but I thought I had a tier 1 Byzantine government

[@elcazador3349]

@@lookasetbella You get stuck with the Byzantine Autocracy (the pretender rebel spawning government), which is locked. You can exit that government by doing a mission which requires orthodoxy.

[@tankmaster1093]

yeah its a bit annoying that they made the catholic path, even for Montferrat into Byzantium, basically a temporary meme path to stomp the Ottomans. Would've loved a unique section for that.

[@friedtaterexplosion8258]

When you form Byzantium as Montferrat, are you still stuck with the horrible "privelages"? I seem to recall last time I formed Byz as Montferrat I was locked into the initial Byzantine autocracy- with the only option to reform that would have involved flipping to Orthodoxy.

[@lookasetbella]

I could definitely create a Theocracy. I checked that. I'll see when I sit down in some time whether a better form of government requires Orthodoxy.

[@pietrobartolozzi8977]

Please play Trent have very special position and National ideas and i try 5 times but i can not succeded great video as Always btw

[@lookasetbella]

What interesting things can be achieved with this country?

[@thenamesianna]

​@@lookasetbellaI think Trent can form Austria, thus creating a theocratic Austria which sounds interesting.

[@CARL_093]

i had knew this in crusader king and its very fun challenging to play in eu than crusader kings

[@davidrozemberg9295]

21:59 why wouldn’t just use nobility integration policy? Revoking marches at -1 stability each is brutal

[@lookasetbella]

Integrating a vassal gives every other vassal -30 relations. With Diplomatic Ideas, reverting a march costs nothing.

[@davidrozemberg9295]

@@lookasetbellaAhhh okay

[@Kuzeyhan4]

Could you play as nogai sometime? I couldnt find any good video for that horde country, i think it'd be cool to see you playing that, given how good you are. edit: I just saw your previous video, damn. But do you have any additional tips for nogai?

[@lookasetbella]

AVE! You sure that was my movie? I don't remember playing as Nogai last time.

[@Kuzeyhan4]

@ The title was horde guide, so i thought that could also be applied to the nogai. It’d be very cool to see you play nogai tho, im eagerly waiting until that day!

[@denisbormotov1842]

Does anything prevent you from doing a similar run but staying in HRE and becoming the Emperor? In a generic playthrough, getting into HRE looks like a no-brainer if you can achieve it with reasonable effort, and you have been a member already. But maybe I'm missing something (only played mods like Anbennar lately, and overall I'm hardly an expert).

[@lookasetbella]

No, you can definitely play this campaign for HRE. Here I didn't have time for such a move, I had to edit the episode and finish it. So I disbanded HRE to conquer Switzerland faster.

[@damianwojcik5421]

Is there a chance to see some MP campaign?

[@bossenes5020]

Why not declaring reconquest on aragon it would have been 75 percent less AE

[@lookasetbella]

yes, that was my mistake

[@Walht]

can you delete this and remake the vid then

[@Dukaier]

Day 1 of asking lookasbella to play eu4 mods ( he promised last year)

[@lookasetbella]

You won't have to wait long :D

[@marryc9394]

Why did you want to go Calvinist? I was under the assumption that it was not all that good?

[@lookasetbella]

in Sum for 2 reasons. Because I rarely play her :P And after 2 in the sequel I would do Theocracy with Byzantium and use Religious CB.

[@УськаВеликий]

Why u conguer France with vassals if u can pu it later?)

[@lookasetbella]

Because it decrease AE for about 50%

[@abcdef-xd4ts]

9:16 - Could you not have insulted genova to lower relations and not suffer the -1 stab?

[@lookasetbella]

I have worsened the relationship, you just can't see it in the film.

[@lookasetbella]

Not in Poland :D
