So how did you deal with:
Siena allying with Austria and Pope
Lucca allying with Genoa and Austria
Ferrara allying with Venice, France and Pope
Pope allying with Austria, France, Ferrara, Siena, Poland, Timurids and Ming
Because this is the first month of every Florence start I've seen.
My answer? Pure luck. (And not setting Siena and Lucca as a rival)
Also, make your attitude towards Lucca and Siena friendly so they're less likely to join a trade league. Also, bring in baguette to crush Genoa and Venice (like I did), the French units are always the most OP early-mid game.
Oh yeah, and for Pope, you need a reasonable amount of luck for that as well. Not gonna lie, without southern Naples and the Mediterranean Islands, my run would pretty much have been 3x harder
how did you deal with ottoblob?
Just get good fadey :")
"Should we conquer Germany?"
"God no, I think we learned our lesson last time."
xD
Teutoburg Forest, 9 CE
Half Germany was a territory of the empire and during the period of the general GERMANICUS the other half was a puppetized by the Roman Empire, and they still puppets for more then 100 years

GIVE ME BACK MY LEGIONS!
How dare the Germans called themselves the "Holy Roman Empire" when there is a real Roman Empire south of them?
Potato Douche I like how every european country refer himself as a roman empire even though no one of them is even close to roman empire. Only thing italy have close to roman empire is a Rome . Only thing Byzantium have close to roman empire is a rulers. Romania HRE Rum and Russia is not even a joke
Well Russia thought of themselves as the 'Third Rome' so yano, call yourself what u want doesn't make it true.
Nachtel
The Roman Empire isn't really Roman without Rome. Also, the culture in Byzantium was Greek.
Byzantium was the Eastern Roman Empire and while the Western Roman Empire collapsed to Barbarians the eastern roman empire just sat there. Also they held Rome for a bit
Asher Ketchup Justinian came so close but the plague denied him.
>Conquers most fo Europe and restores the mighty Roman Empire
>2nd
lmao
China is a hell of a drug.
They need to nerf Ming again
@@caiawlodarski5339 funny because nobody cares about china in this time period
Here and in history Russia conquered most of Europe
SERBIAN MAPPING That’s just a bit outside the timeframe of EU4
This would make for an interesting Victoria 2 converted save
No he would just be the dominant power always since there is no UK,us to rivel him.
No not really
It would be the literal opposite of interesting.
@@DiamondDust132 pretty sure it's sarcastic
Interesting only if you try world conquests on Victoria 2
Now form Byzantium as Montferrat, bec of dynasty.(YES THEY ACTUALLY GOT THE SAME DYNASTY)
YOU CAN DO THAT? FUCK
@@secreps Well, the Ducal family (or Marquis, dont remember well) of montferrato was a cadet branch of the Palaiologos family. So, it should be doable.
I love how halfway through there is just a country called Air
Its always there, until it's... ...GONE WITH THE WIND!
it's pronounced "ah yr", it's an african name, same pronounciation as "zaire"
there should be a Î instead of a i, but paradox messed up the spelling, they mess up a lot of historical things, a few countries have incorrect names, flags, wonders
after 1000 hours i still suck at this game
Same too buddy.
This Tabarestan tho
Ivan Zverev ikr how the fuck did they do that
thicc
I form Rome as England and think I am impressive and then see this in my suggested..
England is hard at early game. But once u deal with War of Roses and successfully forced union on France then ally Austria, Roman Empire in your bag
@@cekoforbidden9317 or you could just give up your continental territory, play the colonial game and become a monster this way.
Breh I formed Rome with Milan in 1707 it's not that hard
@@TheSpanishDon1 the easiest Italian starting nation to do it with.
only managed to do it with savoy but florence is like.... next level
You restored Rome, congratulations! You even conquered areas that the 1st Roman Empire never conquered, too bad you ran out of time or else you could've conquered Germany.
Now though, the French and British controlled large territories in the Americas which sets the stage for a future cold war.......
Nah, when you're that powerful anyone else is a joke. He could easily launch a naval invasion against a smaller colony and start expanding, eventually seizing the New World.
1/10 still didn't get germania
Rome did not really either.
thats why he should of done it
Ah lol.
Yeah, but Germany at this time was part of the HRE which makes it Roman imo... lol
oh...yeah i guess that counts
6:10 Ah yes, France has finally embraced its inner Pomerania.
You are able to take so much land at even the start of the game..
Overextension and Coring costs must have ruined your country but you kept going on?
How!!
Never underestimate Italian mercenaries, my friend.
PC_Addicts what do you mean?
PC_Addicts teach me master lol
He put his soldiers on Meth and sent them out to fight and and suppress....
Florence has really good monarch and is rich. If you get good alliances, you can quickly be unstopable. It's only real treath is the papal state as an excommunication can ruin your game. If you ally the papal controler, you are in good shape.
The joy of seeing the Tabaristan blub brings the tear to my eyes.
God bless you PC_Addicts
MEcca for Christians
I have no idea how you managed to do this, but i bloody love it! I always wanted to see the roman empire brought back. well done!
this guy restores the roman Empire and I cannot get to the caribbean with castile in the proper time. The only game of Paradox where I don't suck is cities skylines...
6:10 ah yes, france has embraced its inner pomerania.
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
2:49 Great Britain, United France, Russia, Commonwealth, Italy. The gang's all here. usually someone implodes by the time a couple of these guys appear.
Edit: wow even Ethiopia is here.
6:26 Look at the manpower...
thats nothing compared to what mother russia can hold
@@pinklasagna8328 just throw men at all your problems
Lübeck went nuts around 4:15! :D
Also wow Frankfurt did well for itself :o
Lubeck did better many times in my gameplay
Cleves did surprisingly well too
The ultimate Medici playthrough...
how did you fabricate on Naples without having any bordering provinces nor sharing a sea province
Kingdom of the Saints probably had a vassal that did border Naples
Kingdom of the Saints from see. there was connection from see from same area. I hope u understand what I mean.
age ability?
Wikipedia:
List of Roman Provinces:
(This list is incomplete you can help by expanding it)
Triggered.
They are trying to subtly hint that we should expand roman provinces and declare more crusades
Templarkiller
Crusades? The Romans weren't exactly medieval
They belived in Jupiter, Mars, Minerva and other gods. Buy the time Rome went christian it declined.
Yes, I know, it was joke
Pippo ne sa parecchio
You know western civilization mostly comes from the Romans, right? Without Christianity, basically nothing different would have happened. Except for Northern Europe still believing in old religions and being slightly more aggressive. And maybe they wouldn't have ended up slaughtering the Native Americans of South America, but that's a good thing.
The Romans before Christianity became state religion actually tolerated other religions, you know.
I just realized that the French, British, and the Dutch is in exile in either Africa or America
quick question, does forming Italy give you the generic Italian ideas, or the better ones that it says in the wiki?
Fluid Synergy it gives the better ones, not the crappy generic ones
okay good, I've been playing Naples into Italy and wasn't sure if I wanted to take the ideas, since they're both labeled as just Italian Ideas
Didn't knew that. Thank you!
Tuscan ideas are better than both italian ones, especially militarly
The final Italian idea is coring cost reduction -25%. That is incredibly strong, when it is synergized with Admin ideas. From that you gain -50% coring cost reduction by the time you have finished three idea groups. That will save you a massive amount of admin points, but also if you go with Admin you get -10% to admin tech. I am currently doing a Italy playthrough and I literally went Admin, then Defensive and then Economic. One might think that it is a bit much to go with 2 admin idea groups early and I disagree especially as Italy, because you aren't going to expand that rapidly and when you do it should be through vassals.
Just beautiful
Sees France conquering UK oh fuck
Now convert the savegame to Victoria II and then play to Hoi4 followed by Stellaris
I do this as Byzantine Empire
Man. You make it look so easy.
That tabarestan was very impressive. I wish they would've gotten the opportunity to form persia
Really??
Do you even Medici?
You one-upped the Roman Empire too lol.
Even bigger
how did you deal with the hre lands? i dont understand how annexing Sienna, Lucca and Ferrara doesnt trigger Austria to denounce ilegal possesion of lands.
what i did to not fall on that is just vassalizing opm's AND annex them later on. i know its inneficient but :/
Get alliance with Austria 🗿
It's so fucking beautiful...
Form a nation that surrounds the mediterranean sea and it just looks so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Color it red and name it the Roman empire and it looks even better.
How in the world, were you able to take so much land from Spain, France etc., in single wars, and not get a huge amount of aggressive expansion? How were you even able to pay the admin fees to core all that land?
I did get aggressive expansion, and I had to wait like everyone else, while dealing with rebels
How did you get all the provinces in latin though? is it a mod?
After you turn into Rome, all provinces with your primary culture turn Roman
You were extremely lucky with Aragon and Naples breaking away from Castille. In my try Spain was formed really quickly and now half of Italy is in their hands, I have an Alliance with them but still their lands are not available for me 😅
I always wondered what would've happened to the HRE in a situation like this
The question is, what now?
Milan Pavlovic vic 2 follows
“France was pushed out of France”
Lol
How do you take so much land in so few peace treaties? I usually can take less than half that
theZeroAlchemist Administrative efficiency + core reduction cost
PC Addicts what are the main ways of improving those to stats?
theZeroAlchemist ideas and national ideas, also absolutism
PC Addicts thanks!
why didn't you finish off the european nations with colonies, you would have gotten way higher income
France is completly pushed out pf france. Thats the most unusual thing i read in a timelapse
Beautiful
If I may make one suggestion, perhaps it would be prudent to pause the replay every so often to explain what is happening in your major wars. It adds to the story of your game and makes it easier to follow what is happening in the timelapse.
These seem to be in a similar style as Dovska's timelapses, so I would suggest looking at some of the things he does for his. I wouldn't suggest going into near the depth he does unless you are really passionate about these videos, but adding some of the aspects he uses for his videos would definitely improve upon yours.
Gustav Kuriga I indeed take heavy inspiration from Dovska's videos. If you look at my past videos, they have war scenes in them. Upcoming videos should have them as well :)
I see, so this was more of an exception then? Either way, I'm glad of that. I'm also glad to see more EU4 youtubers doing timelapses of this style, as while they take more effort, are much more satisfying to watch. It feels more like you're seeing the rise of a nation rather than just someone painting across the map in a game.
Gustav Kuriga Pretty much, thanks for the support!
How did you take so much land from Naples without forming a coalition against you?
Why does the map at the beginning include Scotland and Ireland?
It's wrong. It also includes the whole of Arabia, modern day ukraine and extends down to Ethiopia. None of these were ever part of it
@@domreed433 That's a picture of what he conquered...
How did the ottomons not just bum rush ur defences on the East... and how did u stop all of germania from attacking on like 3 different fronts?
because AI is not that hard to outsmart, that and truce timers worked like a charm in this patch
I remember... first time came here, and i thought, will I be able to achive this ever? Well my dear friend of the past, you were able to do it and with byzantium even. Do never think something is imposible for you.
Kinda wish Italy's color wasn't so close to the Ottomans'. If only you could tweak it...maybe a nice yellow or orange?
Timothy McLean but see, Italy is green because they can BECOME the Ottomans.
Italy, the Ottomans, and Russia are both just shades of green. The question becomes, which shade of green is better? This is decided through blood and iron.
Italy makes more sense to be green because the soldier uniforms have always been green, the landscapes in italy are very much green and the italian flag has green in it
Where's Moesia? I searched but I did not find it
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moesia
What CB did you use on Naples and Scotland/Ireland or did you no CB war them?? I thought you couldn’t fab unless they were neighbouring by land or a sea tile?
For Naples, I fabricated against them (Siena shares a sea border with Naples + the Fabricating claims next to claims thing for the Discovery Age). For Scotland/Ireland, I used Imperialism.
Lol i never take that claims bordering claims, should i?
azz79220 yea why not
azz79220 good for fabrication on large swaths of land so you don't lose too much diplo points in peace deals
Holy hell this dude raw ashell
How is this even possible... i tried this with milan and i suffered so much aggressive expansion that i could never take more than 2 provinces at a time without a coalition forming against me. At some point i was fighting the ottomans too, they were about the same size and i simply could never take more than 6 provinces from them. Here i see you taking like 15 provinces from the ottomans and 6 provinces from naples without any problems. Is there some strategy i am missing out on? i am quite new so i don't understand how you can take so many provinces without coalition.
what version are you playing that you can take that much land after a single war??
i play the normal version without mods and i can never take more than 3-6 provinces without forming acoalition against me. even if i have conquered half the world^^
Patch 1.22.2, and coalitions really never bothered me, because I kept them on separate truce timers
You can only take 3-6 wow you're even luckier than he is lol
1:24 long live King I. Edigio!
*dies in 4 years*
in eu4 terms and the fact that he's a 6/5/6, he lived long enough.
That Ethiopia tho! The entirety of east Africa and some of Arabia at some point! I’ve never seen an AI Ethiopia that chunky before
Awesome. In a real scenario, reforming an empire that big would have been impossible because of constant revolution and corruption. Would have fallen just like the Mongol Empire.
You only making excuses for why people haven't tried :p
I mean napoleon did it and there was no internal strife or revolt except in spain, if it had not been defeated by russia and england it would have stood the test of time
Hitler also conquered an even bigger ammount of european land, but he had constant rebellions and resistance absolutely everywhere, since unlike napoleon he was more about the whole "enslave or kill everyone" and less about the "let's give everyone rights and restore rome" thing that napoleon liked to do, so understandably the third reich was a lot less stable than napoleon's empire
I love those slightly greater borders. Nothing stupid like owning all of Russia and the US, but just enough to make the Roman Empire more appealing
4:07 Is that music from Skyrim?
Mhh no its standard eu4 music , it just sounds similar
SPQR!
Were Russia and Ottomans allies? And I'm amazed with how much land you could take each war with the ottomans, I feel it is impossible as 100% warscore only allowes 5 - 10 provinces.
make a video making The RE as Byzantium thats the reaal challange!
I'm trying that at the moment, fuck me it's hard. Haven't even conquered all of Anatolia and the religious war is already done.
Caellum Kennedy Almost done this, restarted 20 times but then got bit of luck and after first war with Ottomans it was easy
Did it twice
it's super easy, byzantium is pretty overpowered in EU4
Another thing people don't consider is that even the ottomans is allowed to form rome, I think all they need to do is become christian, which can be done easily if you accept orthodox rebels after expanding in the balkans a bit early game, and it's the easiest way to form rome by far
Start as ottoman, conquer a bit of balkan land, become orthodox, use your overpowered ottoman everything to conquer the roman land, become roman empire, then you get cursed stuff like "IMPERATOR THEODOROS OSMANULU THE SECOND" as your ruler XD
From Florence, to Tuscany, to Italy, to Thiccaly, to Big Dickaly, to the Roman Empire is a more accurate title
3:15 That hormuz is dammm
ne trying to that: ...dead.... me:ow
Very beautiful...
Where was Britain based after you took the islands?
5:26 im pretty sure that they still have a province that is partially in anatolia.
6:03 Are we the same person? I have a personal joke of France not being France and kicking people out of their peninsulas.
Why did you take admin over humanist? Just curious cause I would like to learn^^
you mean religious over humanist? i personally prefer converting provinces, it's just a style choice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No I mean administrative ideas. Anyways what difficulty was this played on? VH?
Asmodaeus89 admin is far better. Dont need humanist if u have religious, just a waste. Humanist isnt very good imo. It looks good on the surface though.
Humanist IS really good, but for runs such as these you'd need admin more, as -25% core creation cost is vital in creating large empires.
@@Asmodaeus89 The roman empire will have around 4000 developpement, coring a province costs 10 admin mana per developpement.
To core the entire roman empire you now need 40000 admin mana. The administrative idea group reduces coring cost by 25%. You now only need 30 thousand, instead of 40 thousand, by picking admin you get 10 thousand free admin points
that's it, it's really stupid but a lot of the game design is
Same reason innovative ideas are great if you planto play a long campaign, you get 10% tech cost on every tech
a tech costs 600 mana
there are 3 techs at each level, you begin at tech 3, you end at tech 32, so it's 29*3*600= 52 thousand mana
So picking innovative gives you 5 thousand free mana points over the course of a full campaign
Your main mana sinks will be either coring or deving, then tech, then ideas, so anything that gives discounts to those will save you a huge ammount of mana points
For money, your main expense will likely be building buildings or upkeeping armies, so construction cost and unit costs modifers will save you a lot of money
For manpower, if you play big empires, by far your biggest source of losses won't be wars, it will be attrition, so picking something as seemingly useless as attrition reduction can in reality save you upwards of 50 million men, depending on how big your empire is. Raw manpower modifiers are also good
How did you deal with baguette? When I fight against them as super expanded Italy, even if they're outnumbered 1:4/1:3 they easily beat me
Have you double-checked your army composition? I ask because mine tends to emphasize infantry even into the 1700s because it is generally better to have a large number of stacks that can operate independently and without taking huge amounts of attrition. Those stacks are incredibly weak against France or the Ottomans, though, because their stacks are always big enough to include significant artillery.
If you find that your troops are just paper even in the best case, then you can always try sitting back and letting them bleed on your mountain forts until the problem is a little more tractable (i.e. someone else jumps them or their manpower simply runs out).
EU4's france is way weaker than historical france, consider that in our timeline, austria got all of spain and burgundy, controlled the HRE completely unlike how the HRE works in EU4, and that on top of being constantly invaded from all sides by the HRE, burgundy, lowlands, Spain, Austria Hungary, and the United Kingdom, despite all of that France not only survived, but also GREW and took land, even though the habsburgs+UK spent 800 years trying to invade them.
Resulting in France having more military victories than any other country on earth in all of history, so it's a given france should be strong, it's very historical
Borders are unironically æsthetick as fuck.
And then there is me that gets beaten after 50 years as all Italy allies with some powers
Hello, I haven't played in a while. Are those province names from the timelapse as I don't remember seeing them labelled like that?
Barrettus They have that name because the primary culture is 'Roman.'
Paradox Addicts is that only available when you form rome? because it doesnt work when you start a custom nation with roman culture
Paradox Addicts is that only available when you form rome? because it doesnt work when you start a custom nation with roman culture
Machiavelli would be proud.
Weird.
How the hell did they cross the Danube anyways?
AMAZING! now, get the extended timeline mod and try to take over the world... as a tiny HRE nation!
5:59 my favourite country, *AIR*
"Long Live Luigi The First"
How did u do to keep up with adm tech???????
How did you beat Ottomans in the first war? Who did you ally with?
NoTimee God
Kidding he was allied with polish chicks and baguette
You did not take the west-rhine area in Germany, which was part of the Roman Empire
How do you deal with AE? That shit was frustating for me.
From his other comments he just cycled truces
that means: he had massive AE (in the hudnreds), but was at war constantly, and attacks big countries the day his truce with them ran out (they need a month tick, and usually a few days after that to join a coalition after the truce expires, if you attack the day the truce runs out, they can never join a coalition)
So you need to be at war with anyone that would join a coalition constantly, but on the plus side you can separate peace people, and you don't have a -50 warscore from a coalition cassus belly, that's what he did to survive
There are only 2 ways to expand anyways, either you play nice, expand slowly, expand in different corners of the map at once to spread out the AE, stay bellow 50, and get a lot of improve relation/AE modifiers
OR, conquer an entire continent at once, and accept that you'll have to fight neverending wars for the next 50 hours of gameplay, those are the only two ways to grow, either you spread AE and stay under 50, or you conquer an entire continent/religion at once (countries with a different culture/religion care less if you conquer foreigners, to the point you can basically conquer all of europe and north african muslims won't even join a coalition against you, this works everywhere, and vice versa)
So in small regions, it's easy to conquer everything, like africa, central america, southern america, manchuria, japan, ireland/british isles
"no country can join a coalition against you if there is no country left"
that's the concept
How do you make this timelapse?
Germany (a.k.a HRE): What's happening in Italy?
Russian Empire( a.k.a East Rome Junior): Some nerds from Florence reformed the Roman Empire
Germany:🤨
The map that you showed first is wrong though. Roman Empire neither controlled Ireland nor Scotland. Also, it never did control whole of the Arabian peninsula. And they controlled some parts of the Caucasus, but definitely it wasn't this big.

2:48 piękny...
How do you beat the Ottomans so early in the game when they're so much bigger and you're still small?
Italy is the most developed reigon in the game, meaning he might have had similar development even being smaller like that
Gonggongjoeysolods yeah but in that time ottoman ideas and their army power even even with 3 pact alied you basicly cant ounumber them plus they can beat big stacks such as 40k-70k armies with half of these armies.
Gonggongjoeysolods also after a while France will be a bigger problen with that big army and morale in that year.
What a pro
How do you make these timelapse videos?
Tried this with Lucca and I never wanted to delete this game more
Same whenever I play any European nation west of Poland. Everyone always allies some nation 5x your size, and the AE makes it so that by thy time you get to do anything you've already Alt+F4'd and stopped playing for a month.
Which mod are you using to change the map graphics?
I think that's the Graphical Map Improvements
I’m playing as the ottomans right now. It’s 1630 Spain and Aragon have not gotten personal union England has conquered all of France and the Benelux region and Muscovy and the other small nations in Russian territory still fighting each other.
"Roman Empire 1787 - 1820"
wait something's wrong here.
Does somebody now what mod he uses to have the latin province names?
How you had a cb on Naples?
one of my provinces shared a sea border with naples
right i thought that siena is not in same sea zone with naples
