I know im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Jagger Carson thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Whilst this is obviously outmoded in some aspects, I still come back to it for the vibe. Reman's craftsmanship of this video is real ... 'comfy', if you get me. Informative, yet relaxed and slick, quality content.
EDIT: The video is back up! ua-cam.com/video/TI0aU3PEir0/v-deo.html -------------------- As I'm sure many of you are aware, I made a video last week on How to Crush the Protestant Reformation that UA-cam removed for "violating our policy on harmful or dangerous content". I appealed the takedown, but my appeal was rejected. I'm as confused as anyone as to why the video was removed considering there was nothing particularly violent in the video (this is EU4 after all), and neither the strike itself nor the appeal response I received clarified why the video was in violation. When you consider all the stuff UA-cam lets through which isn't considered "harmful or dangerous"... the entire situation is pretty silly. Hopefully this is just a case of UA-cam's censorship algorithm being overzealous. Or maybe UA-cam is staffed by a bunch of heretics. Who knows. Regardless, I've received a bunch of comments from people saying they didn't get a chance to view the video. Rest assured, I plan on reuploading it in 3 months once the strike against my account expires. I'll leave the content of the video completely the same; the only thing I'll change is one word in the title that should hopefully ensure the video doesn't get flagged again.
+ImAllFact I am a Protestant and I don't give a damn, and any Protestant that does is crazy. If the idea of cursing the Reformation bothers you so much go do a world conquest as a Protestant country and destroy the Papal Religion.
Thank you for the explanation, I had been wondering what had happened to the video. Its a shame that it was taken down, I had been hoping to consult the video regularly during my next HRE run. As always, your content is fantastic.
"I dont savescum and stuff cause I think dealing with the situation not in your favour is more fun that way" *cheekly looks into the free netherlands he got by slim*
They got Spain and Russia in my Prussia game. First time I ever fought a mostly defensive war as a major nation. Thankfully AI sucks at uniting the HRE.
When I was running my last Austria campaign, I had Russia and Hungary as PU's before I even managed to vassalize the HRE. I wish I had that kind of luck more often.
I dont get why..but whenever i play this game i either end up having a neighbour with an austrian heir...or i get spammed with marriage...im actually Austrian by the way, can we still dl this? Please say yes i want to go to switzerland without having to cross a border..
In my current Austria game I got a free PU on both Hungary AND Castile, the inherited both of them in one go (10 diplo rep ftw) and revoked the privileges in the 1540s. Needless to say the game became ridiculously easy at that point, the only nation with more than 100k troops was Kebab (110k against my 400k+)
A small tip not included in the video is that you should not integrate Bohemia as you won't become an elector. If but you outright inherit the bohemian lands upon your ruler's death you also inherit the bohemian electorate elevating Austria to a Kingdom.
Any tips on easier ways to make sure that when your ruler dies you will inherit them? I've never inherited a country under a personal union and I was wondering if there are any special tips and tricks.
Reman, for Bohemia, you can change your message settings to tell you when countries get new rulers and set it to "Interesting", so that you know when they get that Habsburg
Bethany Bloomfield Didn't you see the pop-up? He's already done that, I think he just meant there's no actual event like there is with Hungary so you gotta pay attention to the pop-ups
Walht You go to the menu in-game and press the "Message Settings" button. There, you should click the "Dynastic" tab at the top of the settings page, and then the "Interesting" button on the left of the page. Then look for "when countries get a new monarch" or something of the sort, and change the notification setting to a window appearing, rather than it just floating through the notifications box at the bottom right of the screen. Hope this helps!
I just finished playing Poland. Of course game started out how most games do, ally Austria and Lithuania then get a PU over Lithuania. I was working my towards a PU over Bohemia who had preferred me over Austria, plus this was all still before 1500. As I was slowly getting close to the PU, Austria forced their throne and got a PU on them instead. They also got a PU on Hungary and me and him were still allied. Eventually, around 1510, their ruler died without a heir and a person from my house was put on as ruler but without a PU. Soon their ruler died, but had a heir that wasn't old enough to take the throne. By this point I had already dissolved our alliance and it had just finished the truce. I claimed their throne and declared war on them, bringing in Muscovy and France on my side while he brought in Spain and Sweden. This turned into a very large war that would change the fate of Europe forever. It would last ten years, but me into near debt and almost my economy collapsed and pretty much every country that participated was devastated and nothing was left untouched. In the end though I finally force a PU over Austria and got their PU's over Bohemia and Hungary. After improving relations with all three I was unstoppable and after a war with the Ottomans I released Byzantium and I vassalized them. After annexing them all at around the late 1700's I had complete control over Germany, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans. Most of Italy was also under my control and just as the 1800's rolled in I got a PU over Russia, My dynasty dominated Europe and the New World, with the only challenger to my power being Britain. Sadly 1821 happened and we'll never find out who would have won.
After 1.23, Austria becomes a little bit harder in the beginning. Still this is pretty great guide since I almost do the exact same thing at start as you do Reman even after the patch. Just to inform new players. After 1.23 you start with 16 K troops and 13 K manpower which is big nerf. Venice kind of becomes a little bit harder, especially if they ally Savoy or someone else with average strength or if they ally big power. Also dealing with Hungary becomes little bit harder since priority is Bohemia, and Hungary tends to ally big powers like Aragon so it is harder to deal with them after war with Bohemia and Venice. After 1.23, best thing that can happen to you early on is Burgundian inheritance, if that event appears early in the game, which can happen since they are probably going to have war with France early on. But that is highly luck based. So, after 1.23, you're going to have a little bit slower start in the beginning and getting PU over both Hungary and Bohemia is not going to be easy.
yep, some nations like burgundy start over force limit now. Might just be me, but has anyone not been able to get poland allied in the early game no matter how hard they try. Edit. just hire a + diplo rep advisor to get the allaince
@Anti-Federalist 1776 I don't understand why you told me that, it has nothing to do with what I said. I mean it's not a problem if you want to discuss about you think you should start as austria, but I have not clue why you did say that to me in particular.
Austria is one of the most fun nations to play with. The only nation for the third path eu4. You don't have to colonize or conquer all the time, it's really refreshing. Edit: Important info, keep your prestige high. Your prestige needs to be higher than bohemians or you can't claim their throne even if your dynasty rules.
I got my first world conquest with Austria. It was pretty easy and actually pretty fun just because you can take out countries like France and Russia with a lucky royal marriage.
Noah Weaver austria is truly op... Easiest country to wc with since you can revoke before 1600 pretty easily if you know what you're going, and easily pu bohemia, hungary and spain while inheriting burgandy.
I've tried this 15 times now in iron man on normal difficulty, it's virtually impossible to do this. Poland isn't able to be royal marriaged or allied by you no matter what in the early game, you won't be able to defeat Bohemia or its allies with the first claim throne cassus belli because of your manpower, and burgundy always has too many diplomatic relations to royal marriage them (only 1/15 tries was I able to do this, and it was for some crazy reason i can't remember)
Leviathan yea the Austria nerf made this start hard to pull off. A bohemia PU is hard to swing and Poland in my experience has never wanted an alliance. The smaller army and manpower made reining in Italy virtually impossible since AE and other wars for PU made it hard to grab.
Italy ia harder yes, but grabbing bohemia and hungary isnt hard. Ally bavaria and brandenburg and promise them land. Dont give them crap though. Your combined 35 to 40k (you should build more troops btw) should be enough. In my brandenburg game (which i was just playing) i got poland to beat them. 40k + my 10k So 40k is more than enough especially since i ddnt use my armies at all
With me, I couldn't get Poland, Burgundy, or Castile. I settled for Aragon and Brandenburg. Still got Bohemia in the PU though and working on Hungary. Also, due to Aragon owning Naples, the Shadow Kingdom was EASY to deal with.
With the new mission tree the bohemian pu is very easy and if you sink points into either influence or diplo ideas electing a polish hapsburg king is super easy. The only problem is they then tend to try and claim your kingdom anytime you don't have an heir
Just FYI, as of 1.25 Austria starts with fairly low manpower. If you call Diet and Grant Generalship THEN raise additional levies on your nobility estate you can get ~11k more manpower. You don't have enough Ducats at first, but if you ask for cash from the Burghers you will.
Austria is the most OP nation in game. Got 1100 development by 1544 without Burgundy succession, and by the time you start eating the HRE, you can leave and become an Empire so the Emperor bonus doesnt hit you so hard. 200k troops RN, easily can take the Balkans, Anatolia, the rest of Italy, and HRE before 1650.
Also a good trick is allying people outside the empire and getting your opinion of them quite high so that they join the empire, you can do this Aquilia and to Urbino and you can give florence papal provinces and improve relations to get them into the empire
In my best Austria game I got France under a personal union.Also got a PU over the Commonwealth,Sweden who owned all of Scandinavia,England and Portugal with all of Brazil and South America and almost half of Africa.I was really suprised how i did so well as i didn't even plan half of it.
Lee TF At one point you needed Abruzzi and not Rome, had to do with the way states are set up, I believe the game wanted you to own the state that Abruzzi was in, but not the one with Rome, they then changed that to the individual provinces that the pope holds instead of the states
When they first coded the event they used states and Rome was in Central Italy and Abruzzi wasn't, in 1.20 they rebalanced the states and took Rome out of Central Italy and put Abruzzi in but forgot to change the event code. It was considered a bug and was fixed in 1.21
With your advice i managed to get Bohemia with PU (hardest one i got) by claiming throne, then Hungary (with the help of poland) through Restoration of union. Since i am still new to this, i forgot to give some promised land to poland, and they broke the alliance. Later in the game, by pure luck i got Lithuania too without any war. by 1520's i got Muscovy by claiming throne. in 1540's, after i revoked privilegia I also managed to Claim Castilian throne which came with Aragon as bonus.
I know you said in the beginning that you don't usually do country spotlights for major powers but I love these please do more for all the major countries that would be cool. Also do more with minor interesting countries as well!
When i was playing austria and using the strats in this vid everything was going unusually well for me and around 1470 i looked around the map to see what was happening and i dont know how this happened but the byzantine AI beat the Ottomans and they were allied to serbia only? wtf happened
Just played a bit of Austria tonight. The Bohemian war was rough. Stupid ally Brandenburg decided to be friendly with Bohemia, good thing Milan was there to help and with enough loans and mercs, I pulled through. It took longer than I thought it would, so I waited a couple years and went straight into getting Hungary, that one IS easier than the Bohemia war. Now its early 1460's and its time to take care of Italy. Aragon took a couple provinces from the Pope, but I got the alliance with Castile so not worried.
Hi Reman ! Very nice video. Just one little thing about the very early game, you shouldn't marry Castille / Poland / Burgundy and other before you claim Bohemia's Throne because if you do they will have a -50 Relation with you for claiming the throne of someone else.
Great guide, I'm doing this on my current playthrough. Got Bohemia, got Hungary, prevented Shadow Kingdom and got Castile (I have no idea if I got him through the event or just by luck, I did have marriage but he wasn't Spain since Iberian wedding never triggered, and I got no event notification, just that "the King of Castile wrote in his will that you should inherit the rule of Castile, France claims he was not in a sound state of mind so he declares a succession war"). No Burgundian inheritance though, also moron Poland didn't take the Lithuanian PU so Commonwealth will probably not form, gotta try to fish for the PUs on both of them the old fashioned way Now it's 1500 and reformation will start any moment, I should be able to deal with it easily since I'm so obscenely powerful, second imperial reform is passed and the third will be soon. Ought to be an easy ride from here on out unless I mess up badly Reformation hit, but it's acting strange, only two Protestant centers spawned and only one Reformed (and that was in Salzburg, a *bishopery*, so it didn't convert and just converted itself back to Catholicism, lol). Pope declared the counter-reformation so.I suppose that means no new centers will spawn? I am playing in patch 24 since I don't like the changes in 25, apparently there have been some issues with the reformation in this patch 1540, abdicated my 80-year-old king (heir was 57 and I couldn't risk him dying, would've been GG). Inherited Bohemia, Hungary AND Castile! (I swear I didn't savescum or anything) Well, that's ~40-50 non-HRE provinces to be added for IA, time to Proclaim Ebkaisertum in 1540, and cue to Revoke Privilegia in the 1550s. This playthrough turned out to be the biggest luckfest of all times 1548 Revoke the Privilegia. Went to war with Deus Vult CB and failed miserably, the Show Superiority war goal really hurts when the vassals keep suiciding into their stacks. Got a couple of provinces, though, after wrecking almost their entire country. Poland's king died and his heir was von Habsburg, so I ended the alliance (should've done that a lot earlier lol) and while he did get an heir before the truce ended he lost it after a few years (does the AI even disinherit? Or maybe he died) and I claimed throne and attacked, Poland PU under me now, and a royal marriage with every Christian nation outside the HRE except the Scandinavians. Leading a massive vassal army is easy and funny, but lags like hell lol
I had been through a funny situation. I PUed two electors, Bohemia and Brandenburg, as well as Hungary (I didn't even want the Branderburgian throne) I just integrated both of them and gave electorates to my Italian allies, Savoy and Parma (go figure how in the hell Parma just popped out of nowhere) and I HAD the most incredible luck, as all the protestant and reformed centers appeared in OPMs and free cities (and Switzerland twice) and since I kept the Italians on the empire, I just revoked the Free City status on the heretics, gave them to the sweet Catholic Florence, Mantua, Pisa and Lucca, and just converted them. The Netherlands revolved in 1585, but since Castile got the Brugundian inheritance, I just let the revolt go on and added a new prince to the Empire. I revoked privilegia by 1625 and united the HRE by 1640. Poland lost the PU over Lithuania and Castile over Aragon AND Naples, so I just ate Poland away and allied Russia and GB, keeping still Castile as they are still my dynasty (as well as Russia!) Now is 1680, my only rival is the Ottomans and I'm just waiting for the truces to finish to go and crush them with British navies, Russian manpower, Castilian morale, Swedish discipline (I got the Swedes too!) and Imperial charm to get all the provinces. Thanks Reman, I hadn't had this fun playing in a long time!
Western countries generally a 40/20/40 ratio for infantry / cav / arty. Anything within that general ratio is pretty solid, assuming you don't have particular ratios or special units.
Three infantry for every one cavalry for western countries, but most hordes can just go all cavalry, especially if they're Tengri. If they're Sunni, push the cav rate to 7 cav to 3 inf until you get the cavalry armies age bonus.
I usually just use the StarNaN setup for late game, 40/0/40. Early game I usually go for ??/4/?? because that fits with the flanking range, unless you want to spend money on very costly horsies and have them on the front line taking casualties. Later when the flanking range expands to 150% you then expand the flanking cavalry to ??/6/??, until you of course can afford the 40/0/40 stacks because there's no flanking armies that can't be flanked, and no need for cav on frontlines under most circumstances.
Joakim Østergaard That actually sounds smart. I am actually fairly noobish at the game, so I will ask you a question regarding flanking. Can cavalry flank from the back row?
Milan is the the second best option for spreading your dynasty early, after Bohemia. If you have consort regency you can declare on their heirless and old king. You need a border with them to declare government form war if they pick your candidate into the ambrosian republic. This is quite low probability of working tho
The only appropriate music for an Austria that has all its unions and vassals is this THE IMPERIAL MARCH!!!!!!!!!! DUN DUN DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DUN DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My preferred strat is adding princes so that one can revoke before the reformation. It's more luck based though as you need the burgundian inheritance very early to get access to the british isles (just ireland is 8 new princes - scotland 2, 3 minor nations that can be added from England). So I usually start with NO-CB byzantium to cripple the Ottomans and add new balkan/greek princes. Scandinavia has a lot of cheap low development land to add.
Well I had this super lucky run with Austria where I had a PU on Bohemia, Hungary, Spain, Commonwealth, Russia, Byzantium, and the Ottomans (Yes, PU on Ottomans as Austria). Also the Burgundian Inheritance was mine. And to top it all off, REVOKE PRIVILEGIA!
I got a PU over Hungary and bohemia in 1455, I was amazed at this, even considered that the PU over Hungary was the normal way you get a PU, with my ruler as their heir, and I got the Pu over them.
The Burgundian inheritance irl was split between Catille and France, so it is interesting that the game seems to also give it to Austria. They were probably trying to get land in the inheritance irl too, but failed. Edit: it seems they actually did get it in real life, but Spain was under a PU with Austria and it was split between the two at a later date.
So after watching this video I played a secession with getting Bohemia and Hungary under PU and the Burgundian land from their monarch death. Later on I got a PU with the other great nations like Castile and PLC, while battling it out with ottoman and France to keep the game fun.
Strictly speaking, Brescia is unlike the other 8 marked Italian provinces because it is already in the HRE. It can remain under Venice and this does not impede either the Shadow event or the Rein in decision. But most of the time you are limited by AE and not warscore, so you should return it to Milan anyway to remove the IA decay (and for PP).

I will never forget when I was playing as Prussia and Austria put a Hasburg on the Russian throne.
They got Spain and Russia in my Prussia game. First time I ever fought a mostly defensive war as a major nation. Thankfully AI sucks at uniting the HRE.

nothing, he's describing a way to become kingdom rank as the austrian emperor.
Any tips on easier ways to make sure that when your ruler dies you will inherit them? I've never inherited a country under a personal union and I was wondering if there are any special tips and tricks.
its to do with diplo rep and size, so you basically just want to stack dip rep

11:32 oh god are you trying to get your video taken down again lol.
dont get it, what is this a reference to?
he just got one of his videos taken down titled "how to crush the protestant reformation"
What? Really? That's asinine.
The new Austria strategy with the Emperor update is "lol, just vassal swarm everything!"
Thanks to your recommendations I "revoked the Privilegia" by 1560s
nice stuff, I've always find it difficult to play as Austria. This can really help
This was an entertaining educational and overall great video. Thank you for the content!
Provinces needed to prevent shadow event 6:08
Cheers!
I'm really loving you nation specific videos! I'd love to see more, keep up the good work!
Great video, very informative! Please do the "Unite HRE" video, cause I always struggle doing so
*absolutley disgusting borders*
Hatr the GOD welcome to the HRE
Just as beautiful as the Habsburger themselves
Love it how much content you're putting out lately, thanks =) it's very entertaining
Your voice coupled with that music has serious hypnotising effects.
Literally just finished my Mali playthrough and was choosing between Austria and prussia...
Bavaria. They're basically Austria without all the events (Makes it feel more fair to me) and some extra military ideas. My favorite nation in EU4.
Steamed Hams Bavaria also gets most of the electors' votes at the start of the game
You can start as Austria, culture switch to Saxon or Prussian and form Prussia.
or start as the ottomans culture switch to ming and then to finland
Yeah don't think those are formable tags. I'd suggest Manchu or Yuan and Scandinavia instead.
I'll try an Austria game right now. Thank you Reman!
please make more these are so intresting and i extremely enjoy watching this series. keep up the good work man.
Has Austria been nerfed I loaded up my game and suddenly noticed that the number of troops has significantly decreased in the start game
nightlox yep their starting manpower and troops are way lower than use to be
yep, some nations like burgundy start over force limit now.
Might just be me, but has anyone not been able to get poland allied in the early game no matter how hard they try.
Edit. just hire a + diplo rep advisor to get the allaince
it's because of the nerf before austria started so powerfull that they would automaticly accept it's not the case anymore
@Anti-Federalist 1776 I don't understand why you told me that, it has nothing to do with what I said.
I mean it's not a problem if you want to discuss about you think you should start as austria, but I have not clue why you did say that to me in particular.
I never really played the diplo game in that way, sounds like a really cool idea to get a strong grip on Europe. Thank you!
Never comment on videos but I love this channel and it’s helped me so much with eu4 multiplayer’s (especially absolutism)
Thank you so much for this video , been wanting to do a proper ( post 1550's drag) Austria run for awhile now, this gave me the kick to do so 👍👍
Habsburg Austria: trading genetics for diplomacy
Damn, thank you for this video, I have a really exciting Austria game going on and this is exactly what I needed. Muchas gracias.
Thank you for your awesome tutorials!
Austria is one of the most fun nations to play with. The only nation for the third path eu4. You don't have to colonize or conquer all the time, it's really refreshing.
Edit: Important info, keep your prestige high. Your prestige needs to be higher than bohemians or you can't claim their throne even if your dynasty rules.
On the thumbnail : marriage is victory
On first scene of video : war with Hungary
I got my first world conquest with Austria. It was pretty easy and actually pretty fun just because you can take out countries like France and Russia with a lucky royal marriage.
Very instructive as always. Great job
You should do an in-depth gudie to proper army compositions, would really enjoy that!
12:35 4/6/6
And he got rid of it by putting his king on their throne. RIP
Normal stuff for lucky nation AI´s...
I had no idea Austria had so much going for it.. well looks like I’m taking another look at this
Noah Weaver austria is truly op... Easiest country to wc with since you can revoke before 1600 pretty easily if you know what you're going, and easily pu bohemia, hungary and spain while inheriting burgandy.
absolutely great video!
I just finished this very campaign today, your guide is my AAR lol, tho rng never gave me burgundy, i did get 1001 done. Great guide, well explained
Great video the contingency portion was especially informative and helpful for players like me who are just bad at the game.
I've tried this 15 times now in iron man on normal difficulty, it's virtually impossible to do this. Poland isn't able to be royal marriaged or allied by you no matter what in the early game, you won't be able to defeat Bohemia or its allies with the first claim throne cassus belli because of your manpower, and burgundy always has too many diplomatic relations to royal marriage them (only 1/15 tries was I able to do this, and it was for some crazy reason i can't remember)
Leviathan yea the Austria nerf made this start hard to pull off. A bohemia PU is hard to swing and Poland in my experience has never wanted an alliance. The smaller army and manpower made reining in Italy virtually impossible since AE and other wars for PU made it hard to grab.
Italy ia harder yes, but grabbing bohemia and hungary isnt hard. Ally bavaria and brandenburg and promise them land. Dont give them crap though. Your combined 35 to 40k (you should build more troops btw) should be enough.
In my brandenburg game (which i was just playing) i got poland to beat them. 40k + my 10k
So 40k is more than enough especially since i ddnt use my armies at all
Lol, i made it First Try, Stop to cry and stop to lie in the Internet
With me, I couldn't get Poland, Burgundy, or Castile. I settled for Aragon and Brandenburg. Still got Bohemia in the PU though and working on Hungary. Also, due to Aragon owning Naples, the Shadow Kingdom was EASY to deal with.
With the new mission tree the bohemian pu is very easy and if you sink points into either influence or diplo ideas electing a polish hapsburg king is super easy. The only problem is they then tend to try and claim your kingdom anytime you don't have an heir
Just FYI, as of 1.25 Austria starts with fairly low manpower. If you call Diet and Grant Generalship THEN raise additional levies on your nobility estate you can get ~11k more manpower. You don't have enough Ducats at first, but if you ask for cash from the Burghers you will.
Austria is the most OP nation in game. Got 1100 development by 1544 without Burgundy succession, and by the time you start eating the HRE, you can leave and become an Empire so the Emperor bonus doesnt hit you so hard. 200k troops RN, easily can take the Balkans, Anatolia, the rest of Italy, and HRE before 1650.
I got an entire josh peck video as a youtube ad
Also a good trick is allying people outside the empire and getting your opinion of them quite high so that they join the empire, you can do this Aquilia and to Urbino and you can give florence papal provinces and improve relations to get them into the empire
Reman I love your videos, welcome back!
In my best Austria game I got France under a personal union.Also got a PU over the Commonwealth,Sweden who owned all of Scandinavia,England and Portugal with all of Brazil and South America and almost half of Africa.I was really suprised how i did so well as i didn't even plan half of it.
And now it's the entire DLC devoted to Austria and its Unions.
Didn't they change it from needing Rome to needing Abruzzi for the Shadow Kingdom?
That was a mistake, and I believed they changed it back to Rome.
You never needed Abruzzi (afaik). I believe however, before 1.20, you didn't need Rome, either.
Lee TF At one point you needed Abruzzi and not Rome, had to do with the way states are set up, I believe the game wanted you to own the state that Abruzzi was in, but not the one with Rome, they then changed that to the individual provinces that the pope holds instead of the states
When they first coded the event they used states and Rome was in Central Italy and Abruzzi wasn't, in 1.20 they rebalanced the states and took Rome out of Central Italy and put Abruzzi in but forgot to change the event code. It was considered a bug and was fixed in 1.21
Matthew Roy Yeah that sounds about right
The pen truly is mightier than the sword.
Great video, tempted to do an Austrian WC now!
With your advice i managed to get Bohemia with PU (hardest one i got) by claiming throne, then Hungary (with the help of poland) through Restoration of union. Since i am still new to this, i forgot to give some promised land to poland, and they broke the alliance. Later in the game, by pure luck i got Lithuania too without any war.
by 1520's i got Muscovy by claiming throne. in 1540's, after i revoked privilegia I also managed to Claim Castilian throne which came with Aragon as bonus.
I know you said in the beginning that you don't usually do country spotlights for major powers but I love these please do more for all the major countries that would be cool. Also do more with minor interesting countries as well!
5:13 a SPARTAAA!!!! moment from brave 1k bohemian unit.
Thank you so much, got both Hungary and Bohemia under PU!
Immediately rivalling Bohemia after claiming the throne will prefer that nasty 1 stab hit due to RM
„Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube.“
others will make war, you happy austria marry!
The PU CB event with Austria fired in 1450. So I was very lucky I guess ^^
I see, to win as Austria just use the Hapsburg strategy of keeping it in the family
When i was playing austria and using the strats in this vid everything was going unusually well for me and around 1470 i looked around the map to see what was happening and i dont know how this happened but the byzantine AI beat the Ottomans and they were allied to serbia only? wtf happened
Just played a bit of Austria tonight. The Bohemian war was rough. Stupid ally Brandenburg decided to be friendly with Bohemia, good thing Milan was there to help and with enough loans and mercs, I pulled through.
It took longer than I thought it would, so I waited a couple years and went straight into getting Hungary, that one IS easier than the Bohemia war. Now its early 1460's and its time to take care of Italy. Aragon took a couple provinces from the Pope, but I got the alliance with Castile so not worried.
Hi Reman ! Very nice video. Just one little thing about the very early game, you shouldn't marry Castille / Poland / Burgundy and other before you claim Bohemia's Throne because if you do they will have a -50 Relation with you for claiming the throne of someone else.
Great guide, I'm doing this on my current playthrough. Got Bohemia, got Hungary, prevented Shadow Kingdom and got Castile (I have no idea if I got him through the event or just by luck, I did have marriage but he wasn't Spain since Iberian wedding never triggered, and I got no event notification, just that "the King of Castile wrote in his will that you should inherit the rule of Castile, France claims he was not in a sound state of mind so he declares a succession war"). No Burgundian inheritance though, also moron Poland didn't take the Lithuanian PU so Commonwealth will probably not form, gotta try to fish for the PUs on both of them the old fashioned way
Now it's 1500 and reformation will start any moment, I should be able to deal with it easily since I'm so obscenely powerful, second imperial reform is passed and the third will be soon. Ought to be an easy ride from here on out unless I mess up badly
Reformation hit, but it's acting strange, only two Protestant centers spawned and only one Reformed (and that was in Salzburg, a *bishopery*, so it didn't convert and just converted itself back to Catholicism, lol). Pope declared the counter-reformation so.I suppose that means no new centers will spawn? I am playing in patch 24 since I don't like the changes in 25, apparently there have been some issues with the reformation in this patch
1540, abdicated my 80-year-old king (heir was 57 and I couldn't risk him dying, would've been GG). Inherited Bohemia, Hungary AND Castile! (I swear I didn't savescum or anything) Well, that's ~40-50 non-HRE provinces to be added for IA, time to Proclaim Ebkaisertum in 1540, and cue to Revoke Privilegia in the 1550s. This playthrough turned out to be the biggest luckfest of all times
1548 Revoke the Privilegia. Went to war with Deus Vult CB and failed miserably, the Show Superiority war goal really hurts when the vassals keep suiciding into their stacks. Got a couple of provinces, though, after wrecking almost their entire country. Poland's king died and his heir was von Habsburg, so I ended the alliance (should've done that a lot earlier lol) and while he did get an heir before the truce ended he lost it after a few years (does the AI even disinherit? Or maybe he died) and I claimed throne and attacked, Poland PU under me now, and a royal marriage with every Christian nation outside the HRE except the Scandinavians. Leading a massive vassal army is easy and funny, but lags like hell lol
I had been through a funny situation. I PUed two electors, Bohemia and Brandenburg, as well as Hungary (I didn't even want the Branderburgian throne) I just integrated both of them and gave electorates to my Italian allies, Savoy and Parma (go figure how in the hell Parma just popped out of nowhere) and I HAD the most incredible luck, as all the protestant and reformed centers appeared in OPMs and free cities (and Switzerland twice) and since I kept the Italians on the empire, I just revoked the Free City status on the heretics, gave them to the sweet Catholic Florence, Mantua, Pisa and Lucca, and just converted them. The Netherlands revolved in 1585, but since Castile got the Brugundian inheritance, I just let the revolt go on and added a new prince to the Empire. I revoked privilegia by 1625 and united the HRE by 1640. Poland lost the PU over Lithuania and Castile over Aragon AND Naples, so I just ate Poland away and allied Russia and GB, keeping still Castile as they are still my dynasty (as well as Russia!) Now is 1680, my only rival is the Ottomans and I'm just waiting for the truces to finish to go and crush them with British navies, Russian manpower, Castilian morale, Swedish discipline (I got the Swedes too!) and Imperial charm to get all the provinces. Thanks Reman, I hadn't had this fun playing in a long time!
I just love this channel.
You could stream EU4 if you wanted too... I'd watch it :). Either way, great video as usual and I look forward to the next one!
Marriage is Victory. And Victory is Life!
Hey raman can you do a video on how you do your troop compositions
Western countries generally a 40/20/40 ratio for infantry / cav / arty. Anything within that general ratio is pretty solid, assuming you don't have particular ratios or special units.
Three infantry for every one cavalry for western countries, but most hordes can just go all cavalry, especially if they're Tengri. If they're Sunni, push the cav rate to 7 cav to 3 inf until you get the cavalry armies age bonus.
I usually just use the StarNaN setup for late game, 40/0/40.
Early game I usually go for ??/4/?? because that fits with the flanking range, unless you want to spend money on very costly horsies and have them on the front line taking casualties. Later when the flanking range expands to 150% you then expand the flanking cavalry to ??/6/??, until you of course can afford the 40/0/40 stacks because there's no flanking armies that can't be flanked, and no need for cav on frontlines under most circumstances.
Joakim I like the way you think...
Joakim Østergaard That actually sounds smart. I am actually fairly noobish at the game, so I will ask you a question regarding flanking. Can cavalry flank from the back row?
Sees guide. Starts game to try it. All goes accoding to guide. Starts war with Bohemia for PU. Ruler dies 3 months in to the war... FeelsBadMan
Great video like always man
Austrian campaigns are some of the most fun
You should do a Venice Nation Spotlight. Dear lord how I love taking the Suez.
Milan is the the second best option for spreading your dynasty early, after Bohemia. If you have consort regency you can declare on their heirless and old king. You need a border with them to declare government form war if they pick your candidate into the ambrosian republic. This is quite low probability of working tho
The only appropriate music for an Austria that has all its unions and vassals is this
THE IMPERIAL MARCH!!!!!!!!!!
DUN DUN DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DUN DA, DUN DA DA, DUN DA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My preferred strat is adding princes so that one can revoke before the reformation. It's more luck based though as you need the burgundian inheritance very early to get access to the british isles (just ireland is 8 new princes - scotland 2, 3 minor nations that can be added from England). So I usually start with NO-CB byzantium to cripple the Ottomans and add new balkan/greek princes. Scandinavia has a lot of cheap low development land to add.
Keep up the great videos man
A habsburg ended up on the Bohemian throne in my playthrough, only to have a son right after I claimed the throne.
Awesome video, thank you!
Well I had this super lucky run with Austria where I had a PU on Bohemia, Hungary, Spain, Commonwealth, Russia, Byzantium, and the Ottomans (Yes, PU on Ottomans as Austria). Also the Burgundian Inheritance was mine. And to top it all off, REVOKE PRIVILEGIA!
I got a PU over Hungary and bohemia in 1455, I was amazed at this, even considered that the PU over Hungary was the normal way you get a PU, with my ruler as their heir, and I got the Pu over them.
The Burgundian inheritance irl was split between Catille and France, so it is interesting that the game seems to also give it to Austria. They were probably trying to get land in the inheritance irl too, but failed.
Edit: it seems they actually did get it in real life, but Spain was under a PU with Austria and it was split between the two at a later date.
well if u think that they were the emperor it kinda makes more sense for them to have it than spain but yeah
The inheritance split it between Austria and France, but when Charles broke up his empire he kept the Netherlands for himself.
Matthew Roy Ah, OK. I forgot about the split between the Spanish and Austrian branches.
So after watching this video I played a secession with getting Bohemia and Hungary under PU and the Burgundian land from their monarch death. Later on I got a PU with the other great nations like Castile and PLC, while battling it out with ottoman and France to keep the game fun.
You don't have to conquer Brescia to prevent Shadow Kingdom since it's already part of the Empire.
mean, giving it back to Milan means less IA drain
Since the latest patch the reformation is a bit broken. It spawn in weird locations and hardly spreads.
you can ignore venice if you mess with the starting bookmarks they will become part of the empire alone with provence. 1808 back to 1444. then play.
Every time I try to get Bohemia I get crushed.
Every time I try the Hungary war; I get Enforce Peaced on by France.
Raikaria He had two major powers on each side tho, so enforce peace wasn't allowed (Aragon/Hungary vs Austria/Poland)
The Jacman Ohh right, my mistake
Strictly speaking, Brescia is unlike the other 8 marked Italian provinces because it is already in the HRE. It can remain under Venice and this does not impede either the Shadow event or the Rein in decision. But most of the time you are limited by AE and not warscore, so you should return it to Milan anyway to remove the IA decay (and for PP).
