Small note: many monthly income missions can be accomplished by taking that amound of gold in a peace deal. It counds for 1 month as your monthly income ;)
Explaining the Nikopolis mission: during the late 14th century the pope called a crusade against the Ottomans, spearheaded by Emperor Sigismund. Sigismund’s Luxembourg dynasty ruled the HRE, and directly ruled Bohemia. Consequently the bohemian contingent of the Crusader army was fairly large, and it was decimated at the battle of Nicopolis, where the sultan Bayezid destroyed the Crusader army. Bayezid personally ordered the execution of many high ranking prisoners, with a few bohemians dying as well. It was a massive embarrassment for all of Christian Europe. Edit: just as an additional aside, when the Sultan Bayezid received the demanded ransoms for the surviving hostages, he gathered the lot of them together and delivered a brief address, where he said; “In battle, I have left your armies scattered, and you, humbled and destroyed. If I feared you, I might have struck off your heads for fear of your returning to exact vengeance. Now, as you leave, I might also demand that you never take up arms against me again. But I will not make such demands, for I do not fear you. Instead, I encourage you- come, face me again. Bring your armies before me once more, so I might scatter them to the wind. For I and my armies are unstoppable, our bravery unmatched, our hunger for glory and thirst for blood insatiable and unquenchable. So, I say to you- go. Return to your homes, your princedoms, and do as you will. Should you choose to stand against me again, I shall grind you into dust.”
Really wish there was a way to trigger the League War's early when you do Hussite Bohemia, like Protestant Sweden does. So much waiting around and depending on the AI when you do this achievement (especially since the fewer Catholics there are the slower Reform Desire grows so later Reformation). It's obvious if you were actually doing a Hussite run (other than the achievement) the best course of action would be dismantling the HRE in your first war against Austria, and then Deus Volt everybody.
That would be too easy, and it is played a bit differently than Protestant Sweden. Possibly another war of the leagues when 50% of the HRE would be Hussite.
7:36 That's not how tech cost works. Let's use construction cost as an example. A building costs 100 gold, so every 10% modifier reduces that by 10 gold. You could say that every 10% is worth the same: reducing the cost of buildings by 10 gold. You could say that 10 gold is a bigger fraction of 50 than of 90, so going from -50% to -60% is bigger value than going from -90% to -80%. In this case, I would side with the latter, because the number of buildings you can construct with a given amount of gold does increase more than linearly* with construction cost. 1000 gold will build 20 buildings at -50%, but 200 buildings at -95%**. The amount of cost reductions less than doubled, but the number of buildings is 10 times as big. This point can be debated though, and has been debated at me by a economy master student-friend. This analysis also applies to province warscore cost modifiers. The problem comes with modifiers that don't allow you to hit increasingly more interactions like construction cost. Exhibit A: tech cost. A technology costs 600 mana, always. Every 10% of tech cost reduction will save you 60 mana. Always. Having 10% tech cost in your national ideas therefore doesn't make taking inno ideas to "stack" those cost reductions any more efficient than taking inno without having 10% tech cost in your NI's. But it's not like, if you have -50% tech cost, you can take twice as many technologies; the nature of the ahead of time penalty prevents that. So all you're left with is 60 mana saved per 10% modifier per technology. That doesn't get more efficient the more 10% modifiers you have. *Little pet peeve; but whenever the rate of increase increases, people shout "exponentially". This is wrong. A quadratic relation has the rate of increase also increase, but it doesn't show exponential growth. In this case, the amount of buildings you can construct doesn't increase exponentially either. **This might surpass the construction cost cap. I can't find the reduction cap on the wiki, so idk where it is. Often it's at either -90%, -95%, or "minimum of x ducat".
@@lookasetbella "Overcomplicate" suggests that I add some complexity that isn't already there. I don't. This is just how it works, explained thoroughly.
@@pileofcheese5017 I mean, you're saying I'm misunderstanding something. Well, in the video I said that innovative ideas interact nicely with Czech national ideas. The word "scaling" is probably misleading you. Then you accuse me of misunderstanding the costs of technology and you're trying to explain something I didn't say. Where in the film did I not go into this topic at all. At all. The costs of technology work according to a very simple formula.
@@lookasetbella "interact nicely", there it is again. There is no interaction between two tech cost modifiers. Two "stacked" tech cost modifiers provide exactly the sum of their parts in value, and not more (like other modifiers like constr. cost do) Also, the gigantic comment might leave the wrong impression, but let me be clear: I don't think this is a big problem, I don't think less of you, and I don't think you are "misleading the public" or anything. I just have a passion for these things.
I just no-cb the emperor for the event, for me it wasn't even a one province minor, it was Wurzburg and he had a few provinces, but having over 50% warscore he was scared shitless and voted for me. That acvievment was so fun btw.
Man I love your video. Could you make a video about the militant order of nuns from Orleans. Like in a story oriented way. I love how you do those are so fun
the first Hussite belief being the 'war score against heathens' is better IMO in these early wars since you get to take more stuff relative to manpower since you are so rich with the Czech and Slovak gold you can just run pure merc armies.
But you know that it is enough to change the aspect of faith just before taking the peace pact to enjoy its bonus. The Hussites are very easy to change these aspects every now and then.
I always see people grant out priviliges, but I never understand why these specifically. I never use any priviliges because I don't like that mechanic.
I just wished the incident to make Hussite the dominant faith could be followed up with a war of resistance if Hussite is not chosen. I played a game like this and there was one protestant country in the HRE (I left them so the events would fire, I wasn't sure about it) and outside of it Brittany was the only protestant nation in the world. Brittany became emperor and "offered" me religious freedom. I couldn't contest it. Felt like BS and I quit the game after that.
As the Ottomans foolishly went to war with Bohemian common wealth they sieged the Lithuanian fort thinking they had the upper hand only then did they realize they heard the trembling sound of wagons surrounding their army. There was no escape for them for the wagons were a moving wall.
I really love your videos and kinda miss them. I need MORE. And if your kissing inspiration. I would love to see you play Orleans to try to become the militant order of nuns. And to conquer the world as a female created France. Like in the sorry telling way you do I love how you create a funny story around it. Like the Aztec one. One of my favorite ❤❤❤
Well, no, I would have to accept the 3 cultures whose provinces I had. Dutch, Flemish and Frisian. Then the next problem is that each province would have to be my religion. And there could be no unrest there. It's much easier to simply move the capital.

Don't tell Werner Herzog!
There’s no way this actually works, I gotta Czech this out
19:49 Why is Slovak green?
I didn't really notice that. I got culture as acceptable from the mission, so maybe the game distinguishes it for something now.

2:20 oh hey! It's an iron clad tactics ost)))
Hi, just discovered your channel, i love it. Can you do an Ireland guide please ? Or a pirate one ? Thanks for your work 👍
the first Hussite belief being the 'war score against heathens' is better IMO in these early wars since you get to take more stuff relative to manpower since you are so rich with the Czech and Slovak gold you can just run pure merc armies.
But you know that it is enough to change the aspect of faith just before taking the peace pact to enjoy its bonus. The Hussites are very easy to change these aspects every now and then.
I always see people grant out priviliges, but I never understand why these specifically. I never use any priviliges because I don't like that mechanic.
if you go hussite i highly reccomend quantity to stack manpower modifiers
Overall, playing under Quantity trade and religious ideas is an interesting idea.
I just wished the incident to make Hussite the dominant faith could be followed up with a war of resistance if Hussite is not chosen. I played a game like this and there was one protestant country in the HRE (I left them so the events would fire, I wasn't sure about it) and outside of it Brittany was the only protestant nation in the world.

Yes, it would be cool.
As the Ottomans foolishly went to war with Bohemian common wealth they sieged the Lithuanian fort thinking they had the upper hand only then did they realize they heard the trembling sound of wagons surrounding their army. There was no escape for them for the wagons were a moving wall.
Finally, HRE finally accepted the one and only true faith. Don't forget to get Rome as well and defenestrate the heretic pope :D

Now I wonder....is Orthodox HRE possible?
Yes, it is with religious peace or treaty of Westphalia.
@Times_Ticking But can Orthodox become the enforced religion of the HRE like Catholic or the 4 protties can
@@punishedwhirligig3353 Only protestant and catholics can win the league war. So, no not directly by orthodox (or Hussite or Angelicin or Reform).
that’s literally my current run lol wdym nobody 😔
Couldn't you just accept the Dutch culture?
It's way less lame than moving your capital.
You can already change your trade capital separately
Well, no, I would have to accept the 3 cultures whose provinces I had. Dutch, Flemish and Frisian. Then the next problem is that each province would have to be my religion. And there could be no unrest there. It's much easier to simply move the capital.
