Just something i noticed in you'r other playtroughs with(especially ) big PU's (and this works on vassals too), you can develop their land, this gives 5% less liberty desire per 1 development. As often you sit on a lot of monarch power. It doesn't make them much stronger, and when annexed you get it back :) And remember that vassals and pu's don't share power calculation when it comes to liberty desire. War of the roses mission will finish when next age starts. There is also a subjugate sclotland war goal from a mission in there somewhere.
I just want to scream yes every time you blob. Could you also colonize the normal french colonies to make it more of a british-Franco union, if you can call it that?
Danny Boy from what ive seen of HOI4 the Franco British union is just handing the germans the win, in EU4 though it elevates you to minor god levels of OP
Yeah there's an ingame mechanic that makes your army less effective if more than half your army is cavaly. I usually tend to make my cavalry just 1/3 of my army, seems to be a good balance to me at least
The peace treaty that saw the last piece of Ireland to fall under Englsih control came into afect on March 17th - St Patrick's Day. I think I can hear the IRA marching on Pravus' house.
The war of the roses mission has two either or victory conditions, either you win the war of the roses or reach the age of reformation without triggering it both work.
I have a project on plague inc creator meant for you were you control a dragon and try to destroy the world. Do you think you'll like it? It's not done but soon to come. Also any other people leave suggestions although you haven't seen it. Just comment ideas but you, Pravus Gaming. I would definitely like suggestions from you. Please respond and thanks for taking the time to read this long comment.
Pravus you dont want for your estates to have more then 70 influence cause there is event that has a very high chance of firing that increase their influence by 10 or 15 for 10 years
Huh... good idea would have been to sink his ships, give Aragon his province of Rioja, taken Viscaya and left Nevarra to Castile. their troops would have most likely gone back there ... this would have left Granadian separatists without any worry of troops.
It's a new addition with Rule Brittania, have you notiched that pop-up with the wheel Pravus has been ignoring? Thats telling him to pcik a navel doctrine.
you should after killing Scotland take over Norway and if i remember correctly since your still in the first age you can do a war goal to take the throne of a lesser member in a personal union so you might be able to take Norway from Denmark or otherwise just take all their islands so you can get first dibs on the new world
btw theres as easier way to do the start as england, you can sell Maine to Brittany right at the beginning, this way you avoid the entire surrender event and can take it at your own pace. You also need to remember that the CB to vassal scotland only lasts 10 years, and the CB to PU france expires in like 1500 iirc. What i like to do is sell Maine, vassalise scotland, to get France out of the war i give them labourd and bordeaux, thats enough to get them to peace out, tho make sure you delete all the forts in France so France cant get much warscore on you from sieging them. Then once you vassal Scotland, and start on the Irish until you have allies to call on France, using your claims on the Ile de France area that you get from the first mission. You take that state including Paris, and trigger the mission nthat gives the PU CB, then later when the truce is up you fight a weaker France again and PU them. The benefit is that France will be weaker while you are stronger so lib desire isnt as much of an issue and coalitions wont form. You also really want to take advantage of the vassal CB on Scotland because just like with forming spain, you instantly inherit scotland when you form Britian diplomatically, which means not paying any coring or diplo annexing costs for them. Doing it this way you will have the entire British Isles, plus a French PU by 1500
For France, the chance is ridiculously low. It's calculated on Target Country Size (No. Of provinces) vs Stability+Diplomatic Reputation. He'd have to stack diplo rep pretty hard for him to even have a chance.
Good starting nation is Portugal because it often starts on very good terms with Castile by default and it's surrounded by it. I would recommend you to watch tutorial videos made by Quill18. He describes there a lot of basic mechanisms (some of them are not in the game anymore but the core is the same basically). It's better to watch several videos where is described everything than be constantly annoyed by complicated principles which aren't explained anywhere in the game. But go for it. Even with a huge investment into DLCs the game will give you hundreds hours of gameplay.
Jan Labuda oh yeah, I know the basics since I've been watching a couple other UA-camrs including quill for about a year. Playing Portugal would be nice so I can get familiar with trade as well as colonization. Thank you
just thought id let you know, but dont form Great Britain until after you complete the English missions. Anglophile requires you complete every English mission and every Great British mission. :)
Pravus Gaming Why not just make your idiot king into a war general , attach him lone 1k stack , then just send him to die. Or is this not possible with 0/0/0 leaders it's been a since I've played. EDIT: I typed this one minute before the king himself died.
kinda copied this in my playthrough and its goining great i got a pu with poland and gelre on top of france and now its just easy game until the end noticed that in rule britannia poland doesnt get the pu over lithuania quite often which is strange
yeah that's basically what i see now, tbh i'm wondering that it might actually not be the worst decision because most of the time if poland goes alone it gets a leader with 15+ stats
How is investing 100 money to gain 0.16 per month back worth it? The break even point will be after more than 50 years... Never understood those stupid game mechanis. In total war games it is even worse.
Dude I love your series, but you should strongly lean to restart this achievment run or focus hard on abdicating as current ruler.. For anglophile achievment you need to trigger war of the roses for which you CANT have heir. Look some up on EU4 wiki and guides please,, i want the series to continue so much. Great distraction at work ;)
Mission doesn't require war of the roses to actually fire. The mission can be completed merely by reaching the age of reformation without it triggering.
-wants the war of the roses- -gets into royal marriages that can get him heirs- -afraid of irish coalition when taking Scottish provinces even though he's a powerhouse- -continues to declare war on every county that would have been in the coalition anyway- This is painful to watch, but I'm still powering through
"He would've been unable to hold Gibraltar long term" He absolutely can, especially with France as an attack dog. Castille isn't that strong at the start of the game, and if you can get lucky with the Iberian Wedding not firing, or just cripple them early, by eating navarra and northern spain, they are absolutely useless.
It really fun seeing the names of province change when you take them.
That's the option for Historical Province Names
This was the perfect opportunity to take Gibraltar...
Couldn't core it at this time, so he wasn't allowed to grab it.
2:02 you are England silly
Dylath I saw it too
you heard silly
2 years late, but technically it would give him a good time beating up castile ;)
Great job,this is as always entertaining!Perhaps you should also set your sights on either conquering or force vassalizing Brittany.

Danny Boy hate to be a that guy but it would be anglo-franco not british-franco
Qwertyduck It would either be Anglo-French or Britanno-French
Graham Rich could be britianno if he was GB at the time
My bad, Qwertyduck
Is it just me or does Pravus sound like Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series? (especially when he talks about killing people)
I just want to point out that you’re army is less affective due to the high amount of cavalery in your army, i could be wrong tho just trying to help.
Yeah there's an ingame mechanic that makes your army less effective if more than half your army is cavaly. I usually tend to make my cavalry just 1/3 of my army, seems to be a good balance to me at least
Love your commentary
In general...not just this vid :)
You have a ghost interacting with Alexa... Spooky stuff!
Im loving this series because im learning a lot from them .
Alexa? so you have the spyware eh :P
it's outer Heb-re-dees, other than that good episode
Harry Forsyth yeah the way he pronounced that hurt my soul, at least none of the towns were named for him to butcher lol
The Mad Hammer can't wait for him to build something in Leicester
Harry Forsyth doesnt hurt me the same way the Hebrides does lol
The Mad Hammer he was doing so well with carribean then does that
Harry Forsyth like some of them are close, but its like he didnt even try
The peace treaty that saw the last piece of Ireland to fall under Englsih control came into afect on March 17th - St Patrick's Day. I think I can hear the IRA marching on Pravus' house.
The war of the roses mission has two either or victory conditions, either you win the war of the roses or reach the age of reformation without triggering it both work.
So I just got into HOI4 thanks to Pretorian Jinks and now you just got me into this damn game. Goodbye money and fee time. Thanks a lot!
P.S. There's a sale on HB for the game and all DLCs just FYI.
P.S.S. Loving the content. Cheers mate.
Your a great UA-camr who is smoothly on the road to Fame
Would love to see a conquest style Play Style with Minimum vassels
Hey pravus i think for this run you need to trigger war of the roses without any heir..
Always good video tho :)
If he makes it the Age of Reformation without it firing, the mission completes.
Loving this series pravus!!!!
Omg I love this lp thank you sm
I know this is weird but did you know there is a union version of dixie and its pretty interesting and funny
Maybe it was unnecessary to take diplo tech because you had a penalty from not having Renaissance embraced ( about 25%)
I have a project on plague inc creator meant for you were you control a dragon and try to destroy the world. Do you think you'll like it? It's not done but soon to come.

Keep an eye on your corruption yo. Bad things happen.
Pravus you dont want for your estates to have more then 70 influence cause there is event that has a very high chance of firing that increase their influence by 10 or 15 for 10 years
That's a lotta damage
Huh... good idea would have been to sink his ships, give Aragon his province of Rioja, taken Viscaya and left Nevarra to Castile. their troops would have most likely gone back there ... this would have left Granadian separatists without any worry of troops.
You need to chose a naval doctrine.
Someone Silence which hoi4 mod is this? 🤔
It's a new addition with Rule Brittania, have you notiched that pop-up with the wheel Pravus has been ignoring? Thats telling him to pcik a navel doctrine.
Someone Silence ahh I see, didn't knew about that.
This is some good content my dude!
Did he refer to the Castilians as the English at some time around 2:10?
2:02 and yes :P
It was only 62% warscore to vassalize Scotland. I feel that would have been the smarter move.
Great series.You got a sub
sailors pffff ? you are going to need a lots of them the power of uk is in the navy
The war of the Roses mission should be bypassed if you go to the age of reformation before it fires
you should after killing Scotland take over Norway and if i remember correctly since your still in the first age you can do a war goal to take the throne of a lesser member in a personal union so you might be able to take Norway from Denmark or otherwise just take all their islands so you can get first dibs on the new world

Doing it this way you will have the entire British Isles, plus a French PU by 1500
The more stability yu have on monarch death the higher the chance of inheriting the french nation
Fully annex Scotland, don’t exile them to Shetland
AlexHydra2048 he'll need Shetland for the range to steal Iceland from Norway so no harm in that ;)
Btw thought you might want to know if you develop your subject's land it reduces liberty desire.
what is this music? sounds realy good
Are/Will you do the development achievement for having 25dev in every English province? (Named 'Industrial Revolution' i think)
why dont you disinherit your ruler? hair has 28 years now and you have prestige..
Doesn't behing behind in diplo tech raise liberty desire?
Longer episodes please. O7
You are awesome
Come together is by the Beatles.
Correct, the Beatles were first, but Aerosmith also did came out with it. The way that He tried to sing it reminded me of the Aerosmith version. haha
I can't comprehend how you can play on speed 5
hes facing largely people he cant possibly lose to without having a historic streak of 0s
When I play on speed 5 I lose a blackflagged megastack in Egypt as all kinds of shit hit the fan.
i don't have any DLC and i'm going to use his strategy, if it works i will be back
and he didn't come back
Howcome there isnt a nobles estate? sorry if this is an obvious question

Don’t annex France diplomatically. If you are lucky you can inherit them when your monarch dies.
For France, the chance is ridiculously low. It's calculated on Target Country Size (No. Of provinces) vs Stability+Diplomatic Reputation. He'd have to stack diplo rep pretty hard for him to even have a chance.
If Sweden isn’t free yet you should garinty them
I'm gonna be getting this game by next week, is there any nations you would recommend me playing as?
Good starting nation is Portugal because it often starts on very good terms with Castile by default and it's surrounded by it. I would recommend you to watch tutorial videos made by Quill18. He describes there a lot of basic mechanisms (some of them are not in the game anymore but the core is the same basically).

Jan Labuda oh yeah, I know the basics since I've been watching a couple other UA-camrs including quill for about a year. Playing Portugal would be nice so I can get familiar with trade as well as colonization. Thank you
Ottoman, France and Muscovy are also recommended as a beginner
Also you can say:
Portugal: Colonization
Austria: HRE and PU's
The ottomans are pretty easy to start as your first nation i would recommend them also play the tutorials they help ALOT.
just play all the nations recommended by the game.
Do the mann achievement!
I don't know
harris nisar Yep. I tried this achievement and all I did was conquer Africa and the British Isles
more, more, moooore !! ..please :)
Hurry up upload another one
why you dont take gibraltar to complet the mission
you should have checked if you could have vassalized Scotland.
Irish Coalition? Don't you mean easier conquests?
"Denmarks"
the denmarks lol
the danes......not the fucking DANMARKS !
Take Gibraltar next
just thought id let you know, but dont form Great Britain until after you complete the English missions. Anglophile requires you complete every English mission and every Great British mission. :)
i believe they changed that in one of the last Updates few months ago - so, it doesn't matter anymore if you are ENG ord GB :D
Eric so it's just complete either tree? Cause if that's the case the text isn't updated on steam yet
What dose the wooden shipwheel banner mean and which dlc is it from?
That is naval doctrine. Pay money and get a bonus (better galleys, better trade ships ect). I think it's from the Rule Britannia DLC.
Will you stay catholic or become change religion when the time comes?
19:57 LOL
2:52 nothing beats sweden, just don't bother comparing any other idea groups.
ps: it's he-breh-dEEs
Attack burgundy
Ooga Booga Daddy
Alexa is the cia
ok top 10
I… wish I could understand any of this
Where’s ep6 man?
"The Denmarks" #triggered xD
Pravus Gaming

13:18 COMPLETELY WRONG, NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! I wish I was deaf
I hate the fact that limerick is in clare
Pls do Tekkit again
kinda copied this in my playthrough and its goining great i got a pu with poland and gelre on top of france and now its just easy game until the end noticed that in rule britannia poland doesnt get the pu over lithuania quite often which is strange
I noticed that before the dlc Poland normally took the PU decision but now its more 50/50 in taking the local lord option instead of forming the PU
yeah that's basically what i see now, tbh i'm wondering that it might actually not be the worst decision because most of the time if poland goes alone it gets a leader with 15+ stats
More frostpunk
did you just call them hebrites?
How is investing 100 money to gain 0.16 per month back worth it? The break even point will be after more than 50 years...
Never understood those stupid game mechanis. In total war games it is even worse.
You have a perfect English. Clear and good pace and volume. Are you from England ?
He is quite obviously from America
Oscar Redfearn hmmmmm sounds perfectly not like an American. Maybe educated American speak perfectly?
Dude I love your series, but you should strongly lean to restart this achievment run or focus hard on abdicating as current ruler..

21:05
You can just wait until the Age of Reformation...
I think the mission autocompletes if the war doesnt trigger by a certain year
Mission doesn't require war of the roses to actually fire.
The mission can be completed merely by reaching the age of reformation without it triggering.
-wants the war of the roses-
-gets into royal marriages that can get him heirs-
-afraid of irish coalition when taking Scottish provinces even though he's a powerhouse-
-continues to declare war on every county that would have been in the coalition anyway-
This is painful to watch, but I'm still powering through
Y did you not take Gibraltar REEEEEE
Evan Shepherd at this point he would have been unable to hold Gibraltar long term. get stronk, then the rock, thems the tactics
"He would've been unable to hold Gibraltar long term"
He absolutely can, especially with France as an attack dog. Castille isn't that strong at the start of the game, and if you can get lucky with the Iberian Wedding not firing, or just cripple them early, by eating navarra and northern spain, they are absolutely useless.
Arcadius Rex sorry, I forgot he had France. Oh well its something to take in the next war
