Genoa trade node > Venice trade node.

[@queckmeck]

That's what i'm saying

[@alphenex8974]

It is also better in the late game because you can bring in that colonial trade through Valencia and Sevilla

[@aluminiumknight4038]

Yes you can get all mediterranean trade to genoa

[@gabrielstoica390]

Otherwise Genoa>Venice

[@the_niss]

Yellow > Blue

[@RyRy2057]

Genoa is one of the few European countries I consistently play, great to see a video on it! I can't remember the last time anyone showed them any love on youtube!!

[@RyRy2057]

also obligatory RAAAAAAAAAAH GENOA MENTIONED VIVA LA SUPERBA ZENA WILL NEVER DIE

[@steapessanhu]

@@RyRy2057 A load of fygassa and spanish gold/silver for you my friend

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

Kinda weird how a country with such an interesting start doesn't have much flavor or even an achievement.

[@CoolBonobo]

Well, it has a lot of flavor for such rarely played nation.

[@carltheninja1]

Was just watching through some of your old vids. Scrolled to the top and saw this gem. Pump.

[@Saberu_o_oppai_de_momu]

as genoa with the crimean provinces u can literally make a trade route going from astrakhan up to genoa

[@xzardas541]

Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-chingaree.
Money, oh money, how I love thee.

[@user-wd7zr1mb4e]

It's insulting that genoa gets no flavor despite being the greatest financial power of the early modern age while Venice (aka Disneyland and history's first tourist trap) gets all sorts of cool stuff

[@rileywilsonepicarcher9995]

Hey man, I love these EU4 vids but if you’re ever looing for ideas I’d love to see another VIC3 one like you made 2 weeks ago. Cheers!

[@CoolBonobo]

Idk why but Vic 3 videos HEAVILY underperform, I'll still make them, but they won't be a regular occurrence.

[@carltonleboss]

Very nice.

[@ice_water4121]

Great vid! At what point did you leave HRE? Also you should play Athens, been struggling to get off the ground and a guide would be helpful and no one has made one in many recent patches

[@CoolBonobo]

Thanks! I didn't leave the HRE until forming Italy. Unfortunately, guide for Athens would be impossible to make (similarly to some other small nations), maybe I'll make some Greece video some time later, but can't promise anything.

What a cool bonobo

[@teddys5775]

I turned Aragon into a merchant republic before I played Genoa

[@Mordacitas7]

Why not take that tier 5 gov reform w the galleases? Love those things 🎉

[@scorpionfiresome3834]

I have a great idea for a Genoa campaign, what if you not only make it a trade empire, but also a colonial empire? All that sevilla trade node money flowing into Genoa would make stupid amounts of ducats. It’s just few wars against Castile to take its coasts, Portugal is better off as a vassal.

[@CoolBonobo]

Christopher Columbus comes from Genoa, so also good for roleplay

[@chengzhou8711]

Genoa= Secret Evil Venice

[@viniciusyugulis7278]

And what are the most played Italians? I figure it's Venice followed by Naples then a tie between Florence and Milan

[@CoolBonobo]

IMO: Florence > Milan > Papal State > Venice > Naples > Savoy/Saluzzo > Genoa > Italian OPMs

[@JohnChronakis]

How did genoa I like playing as this nation?

[@Draugtaur]

It almost hurts to see how you always play on low estate loyalty. Doesn't it cause trouble?

[@harku123]

Low loyalty not that bad, high influence is worse

[@druppido3127]

к 1500 году с конечным узлом 70 голды, сильно, сильно😂 там где то в степи какой нибудь ойрат больше получает.

[@CoolBonobo]

Важен не узел, а торговля в общем. Ойрат может захватить Пекин, в который течет вся китайская торговля. За Геную с этим проблемы, нельзя из Константинополя направить торговлю в Геную, для хорошего дохода надо захватить Испанию и воровать доходы с их колоний. Остальные узлы такое: Тунис бедный, Александрия течет ещё в Венецию и Константинополь, т.е. надо захватить пол Европы чтобы получать с этого нормальную выгоду.

[@the_niss]

Could you maybe slow a bit down while speaking? As a non native speaker, it's sometimes a bit hard to understand you with your lovely acent.

[@CoolBonobo]

I know about this problem, but it's quite difficult to fix. I'm trying to slow down, yet my attempts are not very successful

[@unstable_7071]

Ragusa had Yugosalv borders almost

[@LexStrat]

мы не играем за геную потому что это слишком легко. По крайней мере для меня на харде это просто op
