Zlewikk, I do not know if you read all the comments, but if you do, I have some graphical mod suggestions for you that will improve your experience a lot, tell me if you are intrested in hearing about what they are !
@Kacper Kędrak Never implied that. Just told that back in this time it was possible ( Because he did it ), I doubt anything of sort would be quite possible nowadays. Mainly because of logistics reasons.
@Kacper Kędrak Well, only about 70 years ago one crazy lunatic in Germany did. The question is whether it's also smart to do so. Because he hurt both the world and Germany far more than he did any good to it. Same goes for WW2 Japan. Or North-Korea, who is also nearly fighting the entire world on its own.
@Kacper Kędrak annexing all of europe? Lmao this isnt hoi4 buddy, also you respect Japanese people for attacking people who are either occupied with other fronts ( british and french) or attackig those who are much lower in technology? ( Basically every asian country japan attacked) the only time they didnt do either of those is when they did a cheap sneak attack on the usa and got their asses kicked as soon as they picked a fight with someone their own size. Learn history before you talk about it.
15:08 Haitian Politician 1: "So, you know how we defeated the French to gain our independence?" Haitian Politician 2: "Yeah?" Haitian Politician 1: "Let's form an alliance with them!" Haitian Politician 2: "... Sounds great!"
Why is Napoleonic France not given the "Revolutionary Empire" government type? It already has "revolutionary target". The later start dates would be used more if they weren't so half-baked.
Conspiracy theories: Napoleonic France was not really a revolutionary empire, because there was no citizen's ideal regime in it or Napoleon prevent the revolution. It was just another empire with the Bonaparte dynasty.
Bro Napoléon in history is already crazy. He left elba and landed in france broad daylight with 900 of his followers, and 20 days later he had an empire along with Europe's most powerful army without a single real battle.
Yes but sadly he went on the offensive because he knew he had little time left so it wouldn't have changed much except for growing even more his legend
I love this style of game you're doing right now. How about playing the Ottomans in the 1680s and making the Austrians disappear from the map, not just winning the Battle of Vienna in 1683, but blowing up half of Europe before the turn of the century?
The challenge is how quick and how powerfull he can bring the OP Ottomans in their peak to the ultimate. How powerfull he can go? How quick to destroy a lv8 fort in Malta? Can fight in 1:20 manpower?
7:14 Thats the most annoying thing for me about this game, fog of war being disabled for the AI. Sure, AI doesnt have brain and is in a big disadvantage. But thats the wrong way to make it more "competent". The only thing this leads to is that wars just become silly ring around the rosie siege races against the AI which smells your armies from far away and runs to where its save. If you turn around to attack your target, it suddenly appears again. Thats bad game design and one of the few reasons why i take my breaks from EU4. Its not making the game more dificult and engaging, its just making tiresome. As Dev you should avoid such experiences for your customers.
yeah it's annoying, last thing I want to do is to run around for few months just to catch some small stack of enemy troops because they start running away
It gets more annoying when your enemy army is hiding in some terra incognita in siberia and only comes out to siege some of your land, then retreat back to the terra incognita when any sizeable army gets close to them, just to stop you from fully annex them quickly.
Basically, the fog of war only works for players. This is true for all games with that mechanic, most of the time the AI is programmed to ignore some of the player's movements.
It's actually could be used in an advantage. f.e. when ai sieges your fort and you don't have army big enough close to it, you can just click a lot of troops from anywhere in the world and ai would stop the siege and start running away
My Four Time Great Grandfather fought in Napoleon's Grande Armee. He was 20 when he survived the Russian Invasion and he also fought at the battles of Leipzig and Waterloo. He was a Hussar and he was captured by the Prussians so I think we was a part of Grouchy's 30,000 sent to pursue them. He spent six months in a POW camp in Danzig. He was an ethnic German from Alsace Lorraine so I bet he was a translator between his French speaking comrades and the German speaking Prussians. If I ever have a son, his middle name will be Nikolaus in his honour.
Everybody else on the world uses the metric system, learn it already ! Its getting ridiculous with you stubborn Anglo-Saxons and your strange medieval systems you still use ;D
Imagine playing France in multiplayer and getting Napoleon during the revolutionary era. The amount of mouths that would drop from enemy casualties would be priceless!
14:16 Yeah I think he was actually like fairly normal for the time, I think i saw something that it started due to differences in the difference the british vs french feet & inches etc at the time, not sure though.
Yes, Napoleon was 5'2 French ft/inches, but the Brits saw this as being very short and made a meme of it, though converted to British feet & inches he would be 5'7, a way more common height
I think that lot of memes of Nap being short comes from british propaganda, they gave him really hard time 😂 and it really did not help him that he was mostly seen with escorts from the Old guard, and those were hand picket soldiers and surely there was a minimum height standard for the Guard members who unfortunately for their bosses reputation were probably all higher than the emperor
Also people from our times is taller than those from back then For example the spanish in the argentinian patagonia discovered a tribe of giants, and said people were 1,80 tall. The average height today
Really love these later start date videos. It's honestly a shame more players don't typically play the other start dates because you can tell paradox put a lot of effort into representing literally every year/month throughout the period. So I doubt they will ever do this again for EU5. But as a history nerd, I find it really fun to try these scenerios or even just to scroll through each year and look at the map change on the new game screen.
Campain Ideas - 1. Save Russia during "The Times of Trobles" and take both the capitals of Poland and Sweden. 2. Save Poland during "The Deluge", crush Russia and the Cossacks and make a reverse-deluge in Sweden 3. As the Ottomans defeat the "Holy League" in 1683 and take Vienna Edit: And maybe to make the Deluge challenge a bit more interesting, to do the polish mythos justice, build a fort in a province closest to Częstochowa, and don't let anybody siege it down.
@@Muck006 In Russia is called "Smuta" wich is roughly translated to "Time of sadness/despair". Its a period during the early 17th century, where Russia was plagued by famine, rebellions, a dynastic crisis, and wars with Sweden and Poland, where the poles even conquered Moscow twice.
"wE HaVe onE FuRNaCe" casually just 50 billion provinces in France, lol 1 furnace will boost up the economy, i mean it will but not alot, and i have never seen somebody so happy to see a furnace in my life.
Yes, this is a significant boost 1. Production in particular province that is then increased by prod efficiency in country 2. Trade value in the province which is then increased by goods produced modifier that i then increased even more bt trade efficiency 3. National goods produced modifier that increased production income as well as trade income with same modifiers applied as above Do not underestimate a furnace
A great scenario for this series would be the Boxer rebellion. The extended timeline technically includes this events but it is broken. Perhaps there is another mod for it
Greta video, really like this series. Wasn't this basically what Napoleon wanted to do historically: win in the Lowlands and then negotiate from a stronger position?
4:50 i don't understand why you're building manufacturies. They're gonna finish in 1820. They would repay themself in some decades so why did you build them ?
Nice video and cool gameplay. I wanted to suggest this historic ruined campagne: the byzantine against the islam caliphate on the VII century with the extended timeline mod.
I saw enemy armies can see when u order your army to march to a province they are in or adjenct tile. So if you command your army to march to a province that is 1 tile away. They dont consider it. And you can catch them more frequently this way
I loved these kind of campaigns I started with the famous byzantium, then i went for the knights during the siege of malta and ended up taking most of the caribbean while weakening the turks after some coalition wars
I suffered a heart attack when you deleted the fleet. In my last runs I kinda developed a taste for mobility and sea domination style, when I could use my 2 or 3 transport fleets to deploy my armies whereever I need in speedily manner. Helped me immensly agains multiple enemies on multiple fronts: i could do hit and run operations around my country almost unopposed. Like, if you play as a Byzantium and got yourself coalitioned from all the sides, would need 100-200 thousand men on all the frontiers. With a fleet you can swing them where you need it in a few weeks of a month, you don't have to wait monts for you army to came from Paris to Egypt or Balkans by land, it takes like 40 days by travel by the sea. You hit and run against seiging armies, smaller detachments on the move, arrive into advantageous provinces a day before your enemy to gain a favourable defence positions. Running away and saving beaten armies also way more handy if you can achieve a naval superiority. I know, french naval superiority in 1790-1815 was less real than the Santa Claus, but Antverpan could have been a nice bait to lure enemies armies for you to stockwipe them. Anyway, thanks for the video, waiting for the next disaster) Strange though, it's Loui the XVIII on the throne, not the Napoleon
Navy is crucial... but not in this scenario when your enemie not only have hundreads of ships, but also far better quality. Then that's just a waste of money, especially in late game and with such a small country territory wise and it's just specific scenario when you pretty much play one war and end
Is this even a serious question? First of all, of course, it's about higher income at the end, what would you spend your money on? Kekw Second of all, did you even watch till the end? 1821 is not a hard stop date, you can play longer like I did
Pretty good , but i don't really like the missing Savoie (from modern borders, including Geneva) and the exclave in Belgium. I also didn't know you could continue without mods, thought 1821 was a hard stop. hmm... 1477 Morocco? 1492 Granada? ~1580 Otomo , to play as a catholic Daimyo?
I loved your video and I think you should make more videos about Napoleonic wars and taking over Europe forming the great french empire (Napoleon's dream)
hey zlewikk, I know it's not efficient but for SP I like to keep my front row at 1.5x the combat width, mostly so I can shift consolidate and still have a full frontline after a small battle or two
TheDeluge darkest hour, 1655 or like that, when 95% of Commonwealth was occupied, by Sweden, Russia, Cossacs, Brandenburg, Radziwiłł betrayal and Transylvania! :D
Zlewikk, I do not know if you read all the comments, but if you do, I have some graphical mod suggestions for you that will improve your experience a lot, tell me if you are intrested in hearing about what they are !
the only sort of "issue" there are is that in the terrain mapmode (useful in wars), it shows rivers as the black and white border bans instead of the blue holographic line of the default for rivers, it's not that bad, since usually there is no reason to be in the terrain type map mode except wars, and what's important is that you know where the rivers are, so you don't cross them by accident (or intentionally cross them while going to defend a friendly fort) for the extra -1 to river crossing
also it puts a yellow warning sign on the launcher because they are not quite up to date, but they still work perfectly fine on the latest and don't cause any issue with achievements
anyways hope you enjoy, try them out and see if you like the new look! (try especially to zoom in on coastline without the fog of war, it looks just amazing, you get water reflection of units like soldiers and boats if you have that enabled in the graphical settings of the default game)
after making this post I opened the game and checked my settings and yes, I have all the graphical settings turned to "yes" on the right (except the compact battle), so that might be something you need to get the best results, again even with every graphical setting on the right part of the graphics window enable I have no performance issue, despite using a very bad computer
Why our ruler is Louis XVIII, but not Napoleon? Also, we have modifier "birthplace of revolution" in the Holy sea, but our government is usual monarchy, not revolutionary empire.
@@ZlewikkTV oh you have plenty of those - really greate series :) now I dug a bit deeper and found some (hopefully) interesting ones: 01. January 1453 as Austria, against the Ottomans, in this point Austria lost the empire and half of its clay including the goldmine 02. April 1453 as Byzantium against Ottomans (even though you have plenty of purple phoenix guides ;) ) 26. December 1482 saving Granada from Castile while going through a civil war (maybe a later date will also be challangeing enough without the rebels) 01. January 1531 as Inca vs Spain saving the last american empire from the europeans :) these videos are rally cool (and the saving ruind campains as well) you are doing a good job and entertaining content for the EU IV community
Verrry nice man ! I would appriciate if you pull out some moves with Persia ottoman war the chaldran war to be exact ! You know the one that Ottomans got Azerbajan from that ! Thats some S tier challenge !
I think Napoleon was 5 feet 2 inches. Of course those were pre-Revolutionary French feet & inches. In English feet & inches, it would have converted to 5 feet 7 inches (or 168cm as Zlewikk said.)
Not much point in building manufactories in June 1815 since they will finish late August in 1820, a mere four months before the end date. (I know the save continued past 1821, but the war was over before then so all 2k spent on those building did not help the war at all.)
And if Poland would ve been a neighbour of France, he would ve annexed it. Dont give too much about historical alliances as they were only out of everyones own strategical interest.

I loved your video and I think you should make more videos about Napoleonic wars and taking over Europe forming the great french empire (Napoleon's dream)
Native Americans vs USA date after lets say 1820 could be painfull 👷
Another suggestion which I haven't seen is the nation of Zhou in 1673 where you 1v1 a 1k dev Qing during the Three Feudaltories Revolt
hey zlewikk, I know it's not efficient but for SP I like to keep my front row at 1.5x the combat width, mostly so I can shift consolidate and still have a full frontline after a small battle or two
You are officially the second person to use the alt start dates in EU4. The first was me.
Kekw, there are fefinitely more!
Mans even did it without using Napoleon. Crazy
Napoleon wasnt the leader
TheDeluge darkest hour, 1655 or like that, when 95% of Commonwealth was occupied, by Sweden, Russia, Cossacs, Brandenburg, Radziwiłł betrayal and Transylvania! :D
Michael The Brave 1600. At war with the ottomans, but he unified the 3 romanian principalities
Interesting idea, keep it up!
Thanks!
Love your contents ❤️
Zlewikk, I do not know if you read all the comments, but if you do, I have some graphical mod suggestions for you that will improve your experience a lot, tell me if you are intrested in hearing about what they are !
I read everything, but you need to be convinced to gwt me out of Graphical Map Improvements ;)
the only sort of "issue" there are is that in the terrain mapmode (useful in wars), it shows rivers as the black and white border bans instead of the blue holographic line of the default for rivers, it's not that bad, since usually there is no reason to be in the terrain type map mode except wars, and what's important is that you know where the rivers are, so you don't cross them by accident (or intentionally cross them while going to defend a friendly fort) for the extra -1 to river crossing
also it puts a yellow warning sign on the launcher because they are not quite up to date, but they still work perfectly fine on the latest and don't cause any issue with achievements
anyways hope you enjoy, try them out and see if you like the new look! (try especially to zoom in on coastline without the fog of war, it looks just amazing, you get water reflection of units like soldiers and boats if you have that enabled in the graphical settings of the default game)
after making this post I opened the game and checked my settings and yes, I have all the graphical settings turned to "yes" on the right (except the compact battle), so that might be something you need to get the best results, again even with every graphical setting on the right part of the graphics window enable I have no performance issue, despite using a very bad computer
splendidly done
Thanks!
Love this series
Thanks!
AI has no fog of war and always sees you
Of course, I know that since 2013, just always triggers me as anyone else :v
I love the little fun facts :)
Thanks!
ottomans in extended timeline mod - 1882
Why our ruler is Louis XVIII, but not Napoleon? Also, we have modifier "birthplace of revolution" in the Holy sea, but our government is usual monarchy, not revolutionary empire.
First question you have to ask who made the game, not me ;)
Second yes, you can be a birthplace of revolution without being a revolution anymore
LOL, it's funny that in war window there is "hundred years war" name for that starting war
Paradox cares about details in many cases. When I was saving Prussia and Sweden their wars also had correct names
How about playing as Japan in the Imjin war of 1592, against the Ming and Korea?
I think ottomans vs the holy league would be quite fun.
Thanks!
Cool Short Campaing. Another Challange could be the Great Northern War as Sweden.
But I already did Great Norhern War as Sweden? :p
@@ZlewikkTV oh you have plenty of those - really greate series :) now I dug a bit deeper and found some (hopefully) interesting ones:
01. January 1453 as Austria, against the Ottomans, in this point Austria lost the empire and half of its clay including the goldmine
02. April 1453 as Byzantium against Ottomans (even though you have plenty of purple phoenix guides ;) )
26. December 1482 saving Granada from Castile while going through a civil war (maybe a later date will also be challangeing enough without the rebels)
01. January 1531 as Inca vs Spain saving the last american empire from the europeans :)
these videos are rally cool (and the saving ruind campains as well) you are doing a good job and entertaining content for the EU IV community
Verrry nice man ! I would appriciate if you pull out some moves with Persia ottoman war the chaldran war to be exact ! You know the one that Ottomans got Azerbajan from that ! Thats some S tier challenge !
save Hungary's collapse(aka before 1526)
you could try (with the extendet timeline mod) saving Russia in World War 1 from Germany, Austria-Hungary and most importantly Lenin
Good stuff :)
You're a legend
Thanks man!
Napoleon was seen short her than he actually was coz he was surrounded by the imperial guards and they were a lot taller than him ;))
Zlewikk, I am waiting for that Louis XIV roleplay where you try to do his grandiose wars
Nice shoutout to Oversimplified in the thumbnail.
*MORALE +50%*
*DISCIPLINE +100%*
I think Napoleon was 5 feet 2 inches. Of course those were pre-Revolutionary French feet & inches. In English feet & inches, it would have converted to 5 feet 7 inches (or 168cm as Zlewikk said.)
France: **p0r eL cUl0 No0oø**
I wonder why you don't start as a revolutionary empire.
I got the revolution back anyway
Impossible level challenge: save Poland between 2nd and 3rd partition
As a french u french is perfect 👍
:>
13:15 nice
Not much point in building manufactories in June 1815 since they will finish late August in 1820, a mere four months before the end date. (I know the save continued past 1821, but the war was over before then so all 2k spent on those building did not help the war at all.)
What's ANY other point of spending money in 1815 if not getting the highest income possible? Cmon man :p
Clever gaming.
The Polish love Napoleon for at least temporarily putting Poland back on the map, he's even mentioned in their national anthem.
And if Poland would ve been a neighbour of France, he would ve annexed it. Dont give too much about historical alliances as they were only out of everyones own strategical interest.
