What if having a BAD LEADER had your entire country DELETED? (EU4)

In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be removing countries every few years that have the worst leaders in the world and allowing other nations to fill the spaces left behind.

Video idea: EU4 but everyone's goverment forms are randomized

[@EaSkateVideo]

Ahh, with the most serene republic of Kongo! Sounds great! 👍🏻

[@thephoenixking3242]

Stateless society should be removed for that.

When there is a tie for worst ruler, delete them all.

[@gripu]

Would have preferred that as well, more changes :D

[@fredericmuno6150]

Show no mercy, also more chaos :D

[@gugfitufi4862]

Maybe the comet sighted event needs a buff for a future video. -1 stab is way too easy to deal with for the AI. It should be -6 and suck away money and manpower to force the AI into bankruptcy.

[@Wasthere73]

And should add years of separatism

[@trivane626]

comet sighted deletes your country

What if the comet was instead a meteor

Video idea: Eternal Rivalry. Making someone a rival instantly starts a war between the two. After the war ends and the truce timer's up, war's immediately redeclared if the nations are still rivaled.

[@funkyfanky]

literally the hundred years war

[@jamesnewman5204]

I will never get used to the new Portuguese color, don't hate it, but after 10 years of playing eu4 my brain can not adjust

[@authenticbitterleben7434]

I imagined this video quite differently. Instead of manually deleting these nations I expected a triggered modifier that somehow removes all nations with a leader who has a stat total of 3 or less etc. And since I just realised that you can't delete a nation via a triggered modifier it you result in them getting -100 morale, 100 unrest and -100 diplo rep. I think this could be quite a nice video idea as well

[@Chewbert]

I have many videos using a mod I made that deletes nations with various criteria

[@authenticbitterleben7434]

@@Chewbert oh I see. Didn't know that. Well then, do you think it might be worth a shot trying my idea for a video? Automatically deleting every nation with a 3-or less stat total ruler?

[@fredericmuno6150]

That was what i first imagined too. Maybe raise the bar to 5 pips overall

[@Turamwdd]

QOTD: chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream

[@Chewbert]

cookie dough is ALWAYS a good call

[@grubygrzib6308]

In 1.34 they added a console command to delete a country it's "remove_country [TAG]" Edit: nvm you found out that

[@deathby1808]

Blue Portugal is so tripy! Every time I see their colonies, I'm like, "Wait, what country is that?"

[@gamgamesplayer4506]

Eu4 But having -3 Stability makes you release everything possible

​When are you going to make the scenario where Castille, Portugal, France and England can't colonize? Love from Norway

[@alfredo.zauce1892]

Flanders: 🤩

[@hotman_pt_]

In this patch Denmark and Flanders would just take over everything

[@joelott]

As a Austrian i appriciate the fact you Put in kurz Our Former Leader As a Joke for Bad Leaders.

[@Sawwhet]

Id love to see another video like this punishing bad rulers. Maybe more modifier based though. Like, as long as a nation has a ruler that has a 0 in a stat, that nation gains a significant malus associated with that stat, along with maybe some general unrest increases. So a nation with a 0/0/0 ruler would be suffering all three sets of major maluses. Id just really love to see if having a super bad leader could send the nation into a death spiral instead of just deleting them.

[@m.bennym.7715]

Great work! Thank you for making my day better ❤ I have a suggestion, but a different one, kinda a different style your video are made. My idea: Every 15 years, you intervene in one war/ conflict/ post conflict or civil war situation (so a state of your wish, that have a bad time) gets buffed: a bit development, stability, maybe income, mana points and a very good general. And then watch that happens. Would be very interesting and maybe very enjoyable to watch you, seeing your buffed nation being destroyed or successful. Would like to see it. But, have a nice day, beat greetings from Saxony AND! Yoghurt Ice, if it's good, is the best ice-cream 🥰

[@electricVGC]

If you want to do something where you regularly delete a tag again - every 10 years delete the biggest navy and the biggest army in the pursuit of demilitarisation

[@xouri8009]

The new patch is actually a slight nerf to the ottomans AI due to the negative events management. They wont be able to follow their mission tree sadly. In the hands of a player, new ottomans is a massive buff tho

[@purple4395]

The trick is to live in a republic. I wouldn't know how they even could get a 0 0 0

Eu4, but every time a country becomes an empire, it gets voided.

Finally, a thicc BBB France. QOTD: Peppermint fudge ripple, which I've only found sold at one, local ice cream parlor. Though I do greatly enjoy coffee, vanilla, and moose track ice cream.

There was an ice cream flavor named the Aud, the old sabres rink. It was labbot blue flavored and it was awesome.

[@XxTurk3ybo1xX]

@Chewbert use the command, 'remove_country ENG' be careful and make sure you're in observer mode because if you're Japan for example and you mistype the tag, ie EGN instead of ENG it will delete Japan instead.

[@jacoblinde7486]

How about you increase the trade good events? Like, double the trade value increase/decrease. That way a country with lots of, say, grain will benefit in the early game from the Bullion famine event, but when the price for grain drops again it will seriously hurt their economy. Maybe the "trading in ____" bonuses could be increased, too.

I love that Cebu was ruling over the core parts of China.

[@kieranmason2404]

i think you should keep the settled natives (the ones in new york, mississippi, arizona) just to make it a little more interesting

[@krecior__]

Great video, however because of your mods I cannot recognise some flags, which makes it harder to watch

[@combrade-t]

I swear they added a command fairly recently (like 1.3x something?) to delete countries using a console commands? No clue what it is but I swear there is an actual command for it. Edit: nvm he did switch to using it. remove_country (TAG) Don't even know if it shows up on wiki, it probably isn't used much and I think it was just snuck in in a dev diary a while back? And judging from the console wiki it says hasnt been updated since 1.30 and has it on, meanwhile another website lists them but doesn't have - and I don't think its too old?

[@deltainfinium869]

What about basing it off prestige instead? The nation with the highest prestige gets voided, or the lowest (But I think lowest might end up being boring)

[@mezric]

A video where every nation that has a ruler who has less than 9 total skill points gets deleted would be good I think

[@onix5491]

U should have a random event for the ai that once every 20 years they get a legendary general or something amongst those lines

[@feralcatgirl]

winter melon ice cream is my favorite but the local ice cream place hasn't had it in years :(

[@bellium7023]

do the same thing except only remove leaders of great powers, so the great power with the worst leader gets deleted

Is it possible to make a mod a automatically kills rulers if certain conditions are met? If so, it could be fun to have a bad rulers only run where any ruler with a total skill above 8 (so 3/3/3 rulers and above are out) are killed automatically
