Originally, the Sharif of Mecca (basically Hejaz) was supposed to unite the Arab world after WW1. But then the British and the French screwed them over with the modern day borders of the Middle East. So you should unite the Arabian peninsula, and occupy London and Paris.
Hejaz means 'barrier' in Arabic, so how about trying to conquer all of Middle East or whatever the region's named in the game and get some cool forts going?
You know, it's not totally unreasonable to have a German USA when like 10-15% of early America spoke German, to the point several states considered using German as a second language to write laws in. Great video as always!
@@Darth_Conans The numbers are very exaggerated. An American could be of mostly English ancestry but if they have one German(or Irish/Italian/etc) ancestor, they identify as such because English ancestry is not as "cool". Look at Biden, he is of mostly English ancestry(even his last name Biden came with an English ancestor) but he identifies as "Irish".
@@greatwolf5372 your source sir? The US being surprisingly (as in after ww1 propaganda reduced the number of people identifying as that group and their influence drastically) heavy in German ancestry is one of the most common "did you know?"-factoids thrown around the internet, never seen that disputed nor can I find any data on that in a 5 min Google search, so I ask you. Biden yes, but that seems beside the point. I'd assume if this were in fact the English, they'd let you know constantly, perhaps even more frequently than the Germans. They sure let the Australians know that they were their giant prison island. People really like to claim that their nation is more important than it actually is
Before forming new-world nations, destate your old-world lands and concentrate dev. Did it as Portugese Australia, instantlly got a 40 dev province for free.
As Hejaz is the Custodian of the Two Holy Cities why not conquer the rest of the holy cities of Sunni Islam. Jerusalem, Mecca, Medina, Cordoba, and Baghdad. (Picked the cities based on ck2 sunni holy sites. If you want it to be a bit easier you can substitute Damascus for Cordoba).
@@llamaboioflusatia It is counted as by some. The reason being the hadith "Verily, you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful army will that army be, and what a wonderful commander will that conqueror be.”
As we're now in season H this feels appropriate to post. When you get to Hormuz, go all out on the trade and imperialism. I achieved Economic Hegemon in 1653 and im sure you can do it even faster :D
Great video! Shouldn't you play Hatakeyama next though? Given that they've got unique ideas and do exist at the start date, and also the wiki page for National Ideas mentions them ahead of Hejaz?
My favorite save up to today was playing as an OPM Hamburg vassalizing everyone around us, like you did with Dortmund once (that was my motivation to try it out, actually!). Influence, pluto and trade can be really insane in the early game. Nice to see you having a crack at Hamburg.
When developing a province, PLEASE expand infrastructure at 15 dev, the 25% dev discount is worth the 50 admin. Don’t expand infrastructure on 30 dev tho, it’s not worth the extra 25% discount
@@albertgreen2440 If you aren't playing tall, I guess the thought would be to expand infrastructure in a province where you intend to develop an institution (maybe even developing a centre of trade province or gold too?). When blobbing you obviously don't want to expand infrastructure lots because of the penalties but 1 or 2 important regions may be worth it.
@@albertgreen2440 yes, but if you use state houses and town halls it usually isnt a big deal. Also, if you use centralized monarchical bureaucracy you can centralize all of your states FOR FREE
Hejas was promised jerusalem and damascus after wwi and was screwed by the French and British who never intended to give them that. They just told them whatever to get them in the war. So as Hejaz conquere the land claims tha the king of Hejaz, Hussein bin Ali al-Hashim, wanted and as bonus form Arabia
Now that Expand Infrastructure gives -25% dev cost per click per 15dev playing tall for your future runs could be pretty interesting. I haven’t figured out if its worth the 50 admin. That dev cost does stack so for a 30 dev you can get -50% dev cost before you even start throwing points into it
Man ever since the face reveal, I just can't get over the feeling that you are just Budgetmonk's non-evil twin. This run doesn't do anything to change that.
I am from Hamburg, but played them only once in EU4. I could continue this campaign and form Germany. I went for "Bunte Kuh", but didn‘t play long enough.
Funfact: as i live in the area around Hamburg I played it in my very first run. Ok granted I used millions of cheat and I didn’t have any dlcs but I did conquer all of the new world, half of Europe and half of Africa, good old times😂
They made it so that natives cant chain federations anymore, which makes a huge difference in NA. They can federate once, and that's it so there shouldn't be massive continent spanning native nations anymore
As Hejaz you could do a little bit of alternative history and destroy Najd and everyone around, form Arabia, then humiliate the ottomans, while the only nation you can be allied to is England (or GB)!
Hejaz has a white map color and is the protector of the holy cities. You know who else has a white map color and protects a holy city? The Papal States. So as Hejaz, you should conquer Rome. And also Jerusalem to ensure all the holy cities are protected.
What should be banned though is that it doesn't get properly German, no matter what you do in the game the rulers will be English or at least heavily influenced. Just like the other parts of America will be Spanish even if Spain was wiped off the map before even touching the Americas. US president James von .... California president Juan ..shimoto These are just the rulers. The generals will be completely Spanish/English.
Hejaz was the leader of the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in WWI which eventually Liberated the Arab states from Ottoman rule. So why not have as a sidegoal for Hejaz be to liberate Arab provinces held by the Ottomans after completing your main goal.
I know I'm late to the party but can smb explain why he moved his capital to the new world and then to the us region? Why didn't he just form a colonial nation in the us region, released and played as it instead? Did he do it just because it is faster this way?
The US gets way too much content honestly. Like even Texas has unique ideas despite being outside of the timeline. Meanwhile the rest of America has mostly generic ideas

I also cracked up when the Burghers turned out to be the only estate xD
When we get to season M in 6 years, form Florida as Mann
Actually a hilarious idea, I'm down.
He can do that in the releaseables series
We do have native palm trees over here so it wouldn't be that much of a culture shock for the locals
Florida Man forms Florida as Mann
the AI actually did that once in one of my games
Hejaz means 'barrier' in Arabic, so how about trying to conquer all of Middle East or whatever the region's named in the game and get some cool forts going?
Conquer the border of Europe and Asia
I believe it’s called the Levant so I think it would be cool to own every province in the Levant that is either coastal or borders another region.
Build a fort on every border province of the levant
conquer the great china wall

I get you but that was a lot later than when the territory of the US was first settled and colonized.
@@kasty4255 True, the number of pre-Revolution settlers who were German was fairly low. In the 1800's there were hundreds of newspapers in German.

- Only Burghers
- Started as a Hanseatic German city
- Capitalism

As a German, I hate you for the Hamburger Joke.
"Defend liberty" is a bizarre way to describe genocide huh
maybe theres an alternate reality where the US stopped there and didn't fulfil manifest destiny

As Hamburg, shape the HRE as a hamburger using different nations as different toppings.

Because Hamburger=funny, that's why.
I wonder why you dont get the estates in line like in the latest version of the game, is it setting or what ?

Kind of sucks US has no other estates. Makes sense but I’d miss those monarch points.

Hejaz has a white map color and is the protector of the holy cities. You know who else has a white map color and protects a holy city? The Papal States.
So as Hejaz, you should conquer Rome. And also Jerusalem to ensure all the holy cities are protected.
Close enough to strengthening noble privileges

England got the burgundian inheritance?
excuse me but I'm pretty sure failing to comment on East Frisia inheriting Burgundy is a war crime

Dumber idea for next episode: As Hejaz, convert to Catholicism and either become the curia controller or vasallise the Papal States.
You need to create the great Omani empire when you reach Oman.
How'd you manage to keep Hamburg still alive when you moved your capital to north America?
A Hamburgian never forgets his town!
Why not form Arabia as Hejaz?
The end goal could be to form the Caliphate
Because forming Arabia sucks and you need 20 admin tech to do it iirc
hamburger ideas tee hee.
The tastiest idea group
Hejaz means barrier in Arabic so Maybe conquer South east Australia so you own the great barrier reef
Considering Hejaz starts with Mecca it would be cool to try to unite Islam
hopefully the campaign is ended , because Portugal would 100% declare on you for those new portugal cores...
Great video but I dont like the thumbnail not being part of the actual gameplay feels kind of click baity
Hey, Hawk, I know you got a lot of American fans but you've done this like 4 times now xD
How does the US not have a mission tree
hmm yeah, hamburger ideas
You should make "like" puns. Colonize that like button Boys.
