In most games Burgundy is the one subjugated by either Austria or France, so what I think you should do is either PU or Vassalize both Austria and France.
Since Butua was historically a Kingdom in Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is known for its gold you should conquer all gold provinces in Africa. And yes, I know this is a stupid idea.
@@simonandsimbagaming at that point, if you play a "normal" campaign, you are already at world conquest size. If you play red hawk strat though, no CB best CB.
Hey Red Hawk, you should get the "You Suck, and I HATE you!" mod. It replaces all scornful insults with "You suck! And I HATE you!" And it's Ironman compatible. It's just really funny.
Colonial range take into account prevailing winds and currents. That's what those little green arrows on the colonial range map represent. Basically, when you're sailing south from Europe, you hit the Canary current, which hustles you south along west Africa, and then you catch the North Equatorial current westward to the Caribbean Sea. Trying to straight-shot across the North Atlantic takes you AGAINST the North Atlantic Drift and the Gulf Stream.
I'm from Brunswick and sadly it is poorly represented in EU4. Brunswick is really rich in culture, the buckingham palace is heavily influenced by the brunswick palace and brunswick was very important in the napoleonic wars
They were also pretty wealthy because of silver mining in the Harz mountains. In EU4 they represent this with a iron province while the silver mine in Tirol is represented as gold. Seems very consistent to me..... (Probably Germany having as many gold mines as Mali seemed too much for the devs, but it's still strange)
15:29 It seems people are going to Canada from Brazil, come to Canada! 🇨🇦 18:57 Lol, I never imagined Potsdam like that. And yes, congrats on your three successful goals! That's an A-Z record! 👏
Red hawk when you started this series I used to watch you occasionally but now you are one of my favorite UA-camrs all-time and I always click on your videos instantly I love A to Z keep up the great work!
dismantled after 12 years ?! Holy crap. Rng was on your side ofc, but still takes some awareness to even realize the potential. I probably would have overlooked it
eh i wanted to say that for cologne video you should be a top colonizer or something but then realised that this "joke" doesn't make sense in english For explenation in polish "Kolonia" means "Cologne" the city and "kolonia" means colony (idk how it is in other languages)
Is there a speed run WR for dismantle? Because I’d imagine that would be a contender… RNG would play a big part - Austria losing the Emperor that early makes a huge difference
Brunswick is very fun. When i did play them last time, in patch 1.32, i formed hanover, then i formed prussia and then germany :) But i dismantled hre way later, i didn't really bother allying all electors. Nice game, gg
Instead of sending troops to the new world, you can just hire mercenary companies (preferably the free company or some cheap one) in your incomplete colony. Much easier and far more convenient, if a bit more expensive.
Brunswick is great, it is near the Lubeck node and actually most of its neighbors are weaker, it has decent ideas for the hre and for a possible imperial game (prestige decay, diplo rep and relations) and is the best candidate to form hannover, that imho is a very underestimated formable
GOD I love playing Brunswick because I want to play a really tall Hanover as the Welfs but I swear to God, every time I disinherit that shitty starting heir I get an equally shitty or worse heir. It always happens.
Hm, since Burgundy normally falls under a PU maybe you should conquer the other major European nation that also usually does that. So as Burgundy, conquer, PU, or vassalize all of Lithuania’s starting lands.
The reason why those south american provinces always end up being colonizable earlier than north america is the mid atlantic current- ships can go farther making use of the current, and those two or three provinces are right at the mouth of that current!
Only 6 mins in, but I hope the Burgundy:Liege war isnt a total mess with the HRE gone and the the Burgundy Succession works out in some crazy manner...
The conditions are: 1) Occupy the Emperor's Capital 2) Either be allied with an Elector, or have the capitals of an Elector occupied So, given that he was allied to all the Electors (meaning he didn't need to occupy their capitals), and had the Emperor's Capital occupied, he met the conditions
Since 133 'France' update native tribes in the new world are much more aggressive against your colonies I find so far, so too your own colonies will be more agressive as well, however as the colonial master you can't seem to join them in their defensive wars very easily especially if the native tribes have declared a religious crusade, can't really join war against them for your hard pressed colony unless you no CB them back! Your own colonies can't be your ally & you can't guarantee them either. New Brunswick was lucky it wasn't a big alliance in their 1st fight TBH.
@@Arne_Jacob Ah, yeah THANKS, I wasn't doing that right, looking at 'Enforce Peace' without a Free Diplomat; also forgot to click the country shield of my Colony to nominate it to join against the Native attacks, or reading the 'NO' line as a hard no! FIXED, cheers! However I can't help out my poorly performing Colonies when they make DOWs themselves as the attacker, which they are doing more of & they really fight badly atm agaisnt any natives greater than an OPM! The other issue is the travelling time of my Diplomats too.
@@SaulKopfenjager Only thing that'll really help with that is sending lots of money to your colony in subsidies, but even then it's a crapshoot if they can actually fight back or not... My recommendation is being really aggressive with fabricating claims and declaring on natives yourself, the faster you can feed the colonial region to your colony the better they'll perform in their own wars.
@@Arne_Jacob Yeah, but gifts of money & subsides don't seem to work 100% when my colonies pin ball their troops between two half their sized tribal native enemies at opposite ends of the streach or cresent shape of their country along 3/4s of the coast of Australia; or they don't pull back one half of their army from the bottom of South America to fight an OPM in Canada with an equal size numbered army trashing their 'new' homeland; sheesh!
@@Arne_Jacob Eureka! To save your Colonies in an offensive war they have initiated themselves, but seem to be losing, you as the Colonial Master HAVE to Declare War on the Native target using their claim from your Diplo screen, not in the Colonies Tab. You could also revenge them back & Declare using their cores later too, that they gave awaywhen they lost...
Butua starts as a vassal of Mutapa... seems pretty tough. Butua also starts with gold in its capital... seems pretty easy. How about try to invert this by vassalizing Mutapa while not directly owning any gold provinces? Giving away gold provinces will also make it easier to acquire that elusive bankruptcy.
South American isn't "closer" but the currents of the Atlantic directly head to the Caribbean. The Triangle Trade that Europa has is pretty accurate in game, imagine the flowing current like a gigantic lazy river that heat towards the equator then cools from the northern pole. Way easier to travel. Its why the colonies (not just England's) had so much power so quickly on a geopolitical scale because of the slave labour cheaply that built up the foundations of many nation in the new world in what would probably be valued in today equivalent worth of up to trillions of dollars. Said slave labour provided from Africa that from thereon sold crops like sugarcane and other "luxury" food items to Europe. If the flow of the Atlantic was anti-clockwise, well Europe would most likely have lingered in new world politic from far far longer with much more control.

Try to get a weak nation to pu you (preferably a opm) and help them achieve greatness
Claim the mantle of Lotharingia of course!
Maybe replace Spain and become the burgundian empire since burgundy has almost the same flag as the spanish empire
Establish a Dutch, French, Spanish, and German vassal, each with 10+ provinces
hey man one question, what mod do you use in your video?
Physically south america isn't closer, but due to currents and winds it's a shorter trip by boat, which is why it's in your range
Also you can hug the coasts a lot more which makes travel easier
In most games Burgundy is the one subjugated by either Austria or France, so what I think you should do is either PU or Vassalize both Austria and France.
This
@@divingdown6173 that’s literally a achievement. “The Burgundian conquest”
Can throw in forming Lotharingia as a secondary goal
That's literally an achievement
Spain has a special +20% bonus to getting the inheritance too
Well the medieval house Welf was the main rival of the emperors of their time. So killing the HRE sounds like a very longterm revenge
There was actually one Welf who became Emperor.
Burgundy:
As a throwback to Episode 1 of this series, conquer the Carolingian Empire and make Aachen your capital ASAP
Since Butua was historically a Kingdom in Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is known for its gold you should conquer all gold provinces in Africa. And yes, I know this is a stupid idea.
The most difficult part there will probably be grabbing the gold mine in Morocco, and hoping that Castile or Portugal haven't got to it first
@@simonandsimbagaming at that point, if you play a "normal" campaign, you are already at world conquest size.

Even though you dismantled the HRE super early, somehow Europe looks more normal than in most 'normal' games.
Alpha Prussia vs the Sigma Brunswick
You know it!
*Omega Prussia

I'm from Brunswick and sadly it is poorly represented in EU4. Brunswick is really rich in culture, the buckingham palace is heavily influenced by the brunswick palace and brunswick was very important in the napoleonic wars
plus Brunswick founded Munic.
Brunswick Ducal Corps :D
@@kyleharlach2529 True. And founded the first museum in europe

@@marcuswillbrandt5901 absolutely. Their silver manufacturer "Fürstenberg" still exists today. But today they are more focused in porcelain
Interesting that there is actually a place named New Hanover in real life. There is a fictional state in RDR 2 by the same name.
Yep! I love red dead
15:29 It seems people are going to Canada from Brazil, come to Canada! 🇨🇦
18:57 Lol, I never imagined Potsdam like that.
And yes, congrats on your three successful goals! That's an A-Z record! 👏
That province isn't in Brazil, but on Suriname (another country), which was historically a Dutch colony.
The only redeeming factor Brunswicks Starting ruler has is the -10% AE Perk he has.
Country: just exist.
Red hawk: it's OP.
Red hawk when you started this series I used to watch you occasionally but now you are one of my favorite UA-camrs all-time and I always click on your videos instantly I love A to Z keep up the great work!
The Red Hawk on his way to write MOST OP NATION THAT NOBODY KNOWSSS THIS TIME IT'S DEFINITELY REALLL!1!1!1! on video title for the 877th time
Cant wait for you to do Croatia. Keep the good work dude!
Soon!
As someone who lives in North Carolina it made me unreasonably happy to hear you say you were going to be taking it. :P
Man I was watching old Brandenburg guides to past the time, thank god you uploaded 🙏🏻
5:30 Quite an early "Strengthen Noble Privileges"
That early HRE disbanding was nasty. Congratulations on achieving your goals.
Red Hawk: immediately dismatles the HRE
Also Red Hawk: Titles the video "NOBODY Knows Brunswick Is THE MOST OP HRE Nation"
As someone from New Brunswick I'm so happy someone recognized our existence
Burgundy is a pretty color, so become the leading producer of dyes as Burgundy.
This was the most enjoyable episode so far, wish you played it a bit longer
Become middle Francia as burgundy, then reunite charlamage's empire
You should have no-CB'ed one of the irish counties ... which would be beneficial for later on, when you can claim and fight Britain.
dismantled after 12 years ?! Holy crap. Rng was on your side ofc, but still takes some awareness to even realize the potential. I probably would have overlooked it
Great video, love it.
Thanks!
Dig watching your videos. You have a good sense of humor.
eh i wanted to say that for cologne video you should be a top colonizer or something but then realised that this "joke" doesn't make sense in english
For explenation in polish "Kolonia" means "Cologne" the city and "kolonia" means colony (idk how it is in other languages)
Damn that's kinda good
Also works in Spanish :)
“they’re losing to mikmaq”. In my head: nick nack, paddy whack, give the frog a loan, his dad’s a rolling stone😄
Btw, you’d been rich w just a trade fleet and a capital in Hamburg. I’m now playing Dithmarschen and rich af just off of Lubeck trade
I remember when I was playing Hamburg to Hanover. Brunswick was emperor
The goals of this video should be a legit achievement would be mad fun and different
Is there a speed run WR for dismantle? Because I’d imagine that would be a contender… RNG would play a big part - Austria losing the Emperor that early makes a huge difference
Yes I hold the record actually!
Brunswick is very fun. When i did play them last time, in patch 1.32, i formed hanover, then i formed prussia and then germany :)
But i dismantled hre way later, i didn't really bother allying all electors.
Nice game, gg

It's closer because Globe. When you start looking at the shortest line between two points on a globe, weird stuff happens.
I 'member a game as brunswick where I recreated Charlemagnes borders. Hella fun
As burgundy Declare the classic Liege war... And win
Hyped for my fav nation to play, Butua! Can't wait.
Brunswick is great, it is near the Lubeck node and actually most of its neighbors are weaker, it has decent ideas for the hre and for a possible imperial game (prestige decay, diplo rep and relations) and is the best candidate to form hannover, that imho is a very underestimated formable
P.u. both France and Austria, Uno reverse card
I got a feeling that a certain Romanian youtuber may have inspired the little bit at 8:02
you can dismantle the hre just like that??? i didnt know you could just ally the electors lol
Yep!
@@TheRedHawk that makes no sense historically. You’d prob need to puppet them irl, but it’s prob this way for gameplay purposes
GOD I love playing Brunswick because I want to play a really tall Hanover as the Welfs but I swear to God, every time I disinherit that shitty starting heir I get an equally shitty or worse heir. It always happens.
Your game doesn't crash everytime that happens?
hold up. hanover has an idea called shutzenfest. is that where they do a lot of shutzen with their guns?
I would like to point out that at 11:24, Saxony didn't even take a pronvince.
Butua is Habibi's favorite nation in EU4. Maybe have Habibi pretend to be you as Butua?
Hm, since Burgundy normally falls under a PU maybe you should conquer the other major European nation that also usually does that. So as Burgundy, conquer, PU, or vassalize all of Lithuania’s starting lands.

Ill have to try it. Im from new brunswick so it seems like a fun nation!
There are a ton of towns in America named Berlin. Would like to see a run to get them all.
It being 10 months later, colonizing is so tedious now.
Ayy North Carolina made it into a Red Hawk video
Lotharingia.
your vids save my day every time :D
1:36 no questioning, we are not even at c yet it is far too early for such thoughts! >:(
I like so much when he say “Jesuuuus”😂
you should of done new brunswick in new jersey too!
Take a guess as to what I'm gonna suggest... ... ... No DLC or an Alpha 1.0 release build of EU4
What settings did you change to stop the water animation?
As butua destroy mutapa and after that get the rozwi empire achievement
For Burgundy, Spain stole its flag. Therefore, Form Spain as Burgundy
How were you able to dismantle the HRE then and there? I thought you had to occupy the emperor's capital + the capitals of all electors
The conditions are:
1) Occupy the Emperor's Capital
2) Either be allied with an Elector, or have the capitals of an Elector occupied
So, given that he was allied to all the Electors (meaning he didn't need to occupy their capitals), and had the Emperor's Capital occupied, he met the conditions
1.6.1 ruler wouldn't have been half bad for exploration and diplo tho...
Do the hussite HRE and Complete all decentralization (less OP) Route since no one really ever done this
You should go musasha they are secretly op
22:42 it becomes normal when you restart the game :)
As Butua be Wakanda (have a higher tech level than the european nations)
But whats with Hanover in South Africa?
I wish I could get a friend to play with me, preferably one that's equally bad so we can suffer together
THE ULTIMATE NATION IN THE HRE IS THE ALL MIGHTY NATION OF ULM
schmoney made me laugh aloud
It's worth it.
Brunswick goes Brrrrr
“Most powerful country in the game”
Take a shot!
As butua you should conquer east africa and colonise indonesia and the whole indian coast line. Form a great butuan trade empire
form Zulu as Butua!
Form zulu with butua
Please burgundy next plz 🥺
it's a FRANKFURT
Neat
Form Germany as Hanover
HANNOVER BEST NATION

Do butua to butuan for the meme

Why don't you make full campaigns videos (other than twitch videos those are annoying)
For Burgundy (and other nations with interesting mission trees) You can just try completing all missions
You shoud have also form Germany and create a colony of New Germany in South Africa
