As Frankfurt do something like a Frankfurtress, where you must create a fort in all/majority of your provinces and only conquer land to make your country shaped like a German sausage

If you wanted to maximise the cursedness, the next play would be to abandon your overlordship of England, support French seperatists in England and then re-establish France in its home territory.
This video comes in to my top 3 of the most cursed things i have ever seen in EU4 and i'm playing the game since 2014. -England and France switching places -Going anglican as France (church of France) -And forming Great Britain as France while England still exisists in the french region Good video tho and 200% entertaining as always.
the most agonising part is that france is a reformable nation, so if the ai England knew how to culture shift to Francien it could theoretically form France after you formed Great Britain and just thinking about that puts me in so much pain
@@MilesGilmore you could eliminate all of its non-Francien land to force the culture shift, give it the needed cores, then release it, and it would probably form france
They changed the 100 years war cb, so as the defender (France) it behaves pretty much the same as a reconquest war, with 25% AE and 75% warscore cost on cores
No. It would not. Lorraine is a PU of Provence. PU rules do not follow vassal rules. Full annexing the primary country just makes Lorraine independent.
16:15 I may be mistaken here, or maybe someone already said it, but I think that if you full annex a nation, as you could've done with Provence, you get all their non-PU subjects for free
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and the guides you make for certain countries are extremely helpful. They’re very easy to follow. I’ve had a bunch of super successful games by just following your advice lol, having even more fun with EU4 now, so thanks.
you dont have to declare a reconquest war anymore. Patch notes for '1.33 France update': - The Surrender of Maine event now has a custom casus belli, which acts as an usual Restoration of Personal Union cb for England, but is like a Reconquest cb for France.
- Hey! We don't have any rebels, that's a first! [ 2 min later] - Hey, let me reduce autonomy without considering agitation... nothing can go wrong, right?
As the Soccer Club Eintracht Frankfurt won the Europe League this year, why not conquer some of the privences of their opponents they had to beat? Like: - Barcelona - Glasgow - Helsinki, as the final game was held there
The pu shenanigans reminds me of my France game where I pu'd Poland instead of the other way round, and this was late game they had like 210k troops, so it's kinda funny to see that the opposite happened here
Red hawk I mean this in the nicest way possible but your a-z vids are my fav cause it always puts me to sleep. Not cause it’s boring but idk somthing about it really helps with insomnia, so thanks a lot :)
I often don’t care for burgundy rivaling me as I just cancel the Burgundian rivalry of me as soon as possible and hope they rival the Austrians while improving relations. It helps a lot
If you do that Joan of arc chain as Orleans you can become a theocracy run by females that’s militant or something like that. It’s pretty wild. But you have to own Calais verdun and a few other provinces before the age of reformation or 1520 I think.
Bruh this happened to me as Russia I was just playing a game full of cheats and I still get PU’d by Hungary it was so strange man getting PU’d is the most demoralizing thing that could happen in an EU4 game in my opinion
I challenge you to do this challenge again, but move France to Britain, Britain to Spain, Spain to Germany, and Germany to France. Oh, and swap Portugal with Italy too. Now that would be 10/5 level cursed.
Hey RedHawk just wanted to say I love the videos, but I am curious if there is going to be any updates on the vods channel or twitch. While the shorter videos are really fun and engaging the long streams can be really helpful for learning about the game. So yeah, just mainly curious if there are any planned updates to the vods channel like the Prussia to Germany campaign etc.
@@swagcat6747 no, but like every other country, you have to learn the start and expansion routes. Hawk is good at explaing viable options in other videos.
I just realized: you skipped Florence. I guess they don't technically have unique national ideas, in that there is another tag that has them, but I think they should still count for the A to Z.
Since you were allied to Scotland and had mil access, you could have started the war with your troops already in Scotland and you wouldn’t have gotten black flagged.
Not sure if this has been mentioned but if you change any of the base files for the game it will prevent you from playing in ironman mode. So I trust you RH!

Sit afk and only dev and use vassals to expand.
Go ibadi and convert Europe

Won't we see French ducal nation? What about these kind of ideas.
As Frankfurt become the top producer of livestock so you can make as many frankfurters as you want.
"france is the most powerful country in the region of france"
Considering the sheer number of other nations in that region it's accurate
not anymore
This has the same vibe as "Russia is located in Russia"
As Frankfurt do something like a Frankfurtress, where you must create a fort in all/majority of your provinces and only conquer land to make your country shaped like a German sausage
This
As a secondary challenge, you could colonize the location of Coney Island, NY where the first hot dog stand opened in the US
We got it boys. This this the one
If you don’t do this, I’ll unsubscribe. Boris Johnson wink wink
RH: "I'm not pronouncing irish names because if I do you'll roast me"
Also RH: *Pronnounces Aix as Ice*
It's AXE dammit. It's also not Alan's Son.
It would be "é", no?
Something like "ex"

This is one of the most cursed things I have ever seen in this game. And as a frenchman, this hurts. Thanks, I guess)))
"It's time to swap positions" Red Hawk-2022
22:14 the worst disaster of all: being French
these cursed videos are really great and give the series loads of flavour. keep it up!
16:10 You can vassalize enemy vassals for reduced AE as well with Excom CB. In addition, it doesn't cost extra diplo mana either.
On that note, wouldn’t a full annex of Provence make Lorraine his subject?
@@WhiteLama yes it would
No. It would not. Lorraine is a PU of Provence. PU rules do not follow vassal rules. Full annexing the primary country just makes Lorraine independent.
@@davidweller483 Oh yeah, they’re a PU!
As Frankfurt, conquer Hamburg, Wien, Braunschweig, and Bologna to become the King of the Meats.
Love it!
18:39 “AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!”
Easily the best EU4 channel in a long time if not ever, thanks for the entertainment looking forward to the rest of the A-Z
This was absolutely amazing. Sure, the sight of the map at the end of the run gave me 17 types of cancer, but it's worth it! So cursed!
“Whatever the goal was this is a success”
Funniest and most cursed episode so far. Keep it up!
Didnt they change the surrender of Maine war to act like a reconquest war for France?
Yes. He must just have forgot. Since it was very recent that they changed how it works I forget sometimes too
@@ldib7798 well it’s still better to declare, because sometimes england will just give maine and then you have a long truce
This is probably my favorite a to z video you made! Absolutely love it keep up the great work!
The entire A-Z series honestly feels like a whole other level of "that one time I don't play in Europe."
I'm impressed, that your goals most often end around the 1550s. Good job and thanks for this series, it's so fun!
16:30 When you full annex the overlord, their vasall will become your vasall.
Isn't that only for tributaries?
@@artanisplays3982 if they didn't change it with th last update it's vassals too.
@@TheLibermania ah I see, so it's better to annex all of France instead of vassalizing it
@@artanisplays3982 All of Provence and yes. 😊
@@TheLibermania Vassals but not PU. Lorraine is a PU and would become free if provence is full annexed
Polish-Lithuanian-French commonwealth?!?!?!? That’s hilarious EU4 that actually happened in one of my games but I also got BYZANTIUM?!??!?!?
French king actually ruled PLC for a while so it's historically accurate
18:38 When the Winged Hussars arrived!
As Frankfurt, there's nothing like making a frankfurter, you should make the map into sausage
That random getting PU'd was the most random twist I've seen in these series
That Poland PU over france reminds me when I did my Byzantium into Rome game I got an accidental PU over France 20 years in
It happened to me too without no one contesting lol, I was so surprized
And I only get PU over Serbia.
@@ensvrd I had savoy contest it
16:15 I may be mistaken here, or maybe someone already said it, but I think that if you full annex a nation, as you could've done with Provence, you get all their non-PU subjects for free
No, it is a PU
You're correct, but Lorraine is a PU subject.
@@lys_mara that true, I forgor
It took me way to long to realize Tuscany and Florence share ideas
Just wanted to say I just found your channel and the guides you make for certain countries are extremely helpful. They’re very easy to follow. I’ve had a bunch of super successful games by just following your advice lol, having even more fun with EU4 now, so thanks.

This may haunt me in my sleep haha. Great video! That outcome looks just so wrong and still so right (when it comes to borders), I love it.
15:52 wait, was it independent big Beloozero???
For frankfurt, invite ordinary sausage as a guest. Thats it.
I think this may be my favorite A2Z yet.
Still dreaming of a Coptic Mamluk Holy Roman Emperor. I believe in you, Hawk!

Holy crap, I can't unsee it now, French Britian and English France...
This playthrough isn't just cursed, it is possessed.
This a hilariously cursed episode. Keep up the good work, Hawk! 😄
That's ridiculous and I love it! :) Well done Red Hawk!

"I think this campaign is finally going my way!"
*everything proceeds to go downhill*
I don't think you played with the game files, but I don't know how I never get this event in my entire 400+ hours in this game.
If you do that Joan of arc chain as Orleans you can become a theocracy run by females that’s militant or something like that. It’s pretty wild. But you have to own Calais verdun and a few other provinces before the age of reformation or 1520 I think.
Those 2 months where Poland was the strongest nation in the world were hilarious
Yes if Burgundy falls under a pu with someone other than France in the inheritance crisis, then France is transferred overlordship of Nevers
that frame at 14:34 made my brain melt from confusion ngl
This is my favourite A to Z idea yet good job
Bruh this happened to me as Russia I was just playing a game full of cheats and I still get PU’d by Hungary it was so strange man getting PU’d is the most demoralizing thing that could happen in an EU4 game in my opinion
Forming Great Britain was chef's kiss
France and the Ottomans were allied for a lengthy period, against their joint enemy Austria
That Milan decision physically hurt
One of the most cursed games of A to Z yet
I don’t remember getting champion of the joust in hundreds of hours of gameplay
Haha nice, really fun to watch! ❤️
I challenge you to do this challenge again, but move France to Britain, Britain to Spain, Spain to Germany, and Germany to France. Oh, and swap Portugal with Italy too. Now that would be 10/5 level cursed.
that really is cursed Hawk, you've outdone yourself this time.
The fact that you integrated your vassals one at a time is incredibly painful

The end of this video made me angry. Good work, I hate it.
Why are half of the video ideas in A-Z youtube comments "Colonize this place in the middle of nowhere, USA, and form the USA"?
As Frankfurt own all of Germany via vassals and Marches while still only having Frankfurt, so you can remain a Free City
As Frankfurt you could be the leader of production in grain and cow ( grain to make beer and the cows to make the sausages)
I’m playing as France right now
Is it dificult playing France??
@@swagcat6747 no
@@swagcat6747 no, but like every other country, you have to learn the start and expansion routes. Hawk is good at explaing viable options in other videos.
14:34
that is hilarious lmao

I guess, he will remember about Florence in season T, where he will have Tuscany in the list.
You won't get black flagged if you are on an ally when you declare. So you can park troops in Scotland and declare after.
Since you were allied to Scotland and had mil access, you could have started the war with your troops already in Scotland and you wouldn’t have gotten black flagged.
The British isles with blue French border colors actually looks kinda sexy ngl
"A Valois is on Frances throne"
2:16 you made this video a few weeks ago, right. If not, boy do I have news about Boris Johnson for you.
My God this is such a cursed episode, couldn't enjoy it more
The entirety of Great Britain:
*Licks lips*
This one is the most cursed yet. Even the Austria one wasn't as cursed XD
This randomly came into my head, for a challenge, form Great Britain as Brittany. Britain and Great Brittany are similar in the French language
This was absolutely as cursed as it should've been
One time I've played as a Poland and I inherited France.. that was wild :D (it was a long time go, one of first versions of EU3)
This was disgusting. Great job red hawk!
That´s the most beautiful and holy thing I have ever seen!
This is my favourite A to Z episode
When you get to Ottomans you should try conquering the world one tag as fast as you possibly can to make it a challenge.
beautiful one of the best episodes!
Not sure if this has been mentioned but if you change any of the base files for the game it will prevent you from playing in ironman mode. So I trust you RH!
Stunning success
AE doesn’t exist in Ireland, but rebels sure do. Right after i typed that you mentioned the lack of rebels lol
Nice Lord of the Rings reference in the event
Impressively cursed, well done.
Man I gotta wash my eyes after seeing that shit happened.
So many God tier edits this video 👌
The event trigger wasn't even on the file he showed lmao
At 13:50, your troops actually don't get exiled if they're in your ally's land when you declare war, even if they don't join the war with you.
2:08 When was this video made?
Everything is going fine. 2 secs later
Move to Frankfort, Kentucky as Frankfurt
No matter who conquers the isles they always form the UK eventually, so technically they won
Bro Boris Johnson stepped down LOL
I really wish Angevin realm was a formable.
