When you realize that a cheesy & unrealistic strategy to farm absolutism *actually represents your government manufacturing a crisis so that it can clamp down on liberty in the name of security*
@kite man Yes, indeed he said that. He also made a hypothetical situation in which, if people call for punishment (execution) of someone, go ahead with it, if later it is proved that the person you ordered the execution of was actually innocent, execute the executioner instead of apologizing yourself, essentially, shift the blame.
@kite man Well considering how crazy those times were, I wouldn't rule out it being real. Anyway, the governing entities also makes sense, it's part of the "shifting the blame" doctrine, and by separating power, while you become less powerful in a technical sense, you actually become more powerful in a practical sense, since now it's easier to look like the good guy while not actually being the good guy. Those horrible things that happened that benefit you greatly? Oh well I didn't do those things, it was *those* guys, yeah we should probably get rid of them. His ideas did work back in the day. Now though? Well, the concept can still be applied, but the higher level of education and understanding of politics by the general population have made these kinds of political tactics less effective, or rather, their risk has increased, since now it's more likely for people to see past your persona and identify the "scam"
@kite man Mmmh I suppose that is true, still a higher level of education does play a factor, as while access to information is probably the main thing that changed from "then" to "now" education is what helps you analyze and understand that information, beyond what the speaker tells you. For example, a newspaper could write something that uses factual information and spins it around for their own political/financial gain, and a more educated person would be able to see past that. Still though, you are right, it's more about access to information than education. And I was aware of congress and the budget, it's sad people don't know such an important fact about one of the most important institutions in the country.
Are you kidding me, I burnt all those Admin points keeping my Stability at 3 to keep that disaster away and was fighting rebels for years with all the autonomy lowering I did to hit 90 Absolutism and spending who knows how many Military points, and all I had to do was just let the event fire and kill some event rebels to get absolutism for free and permanent max absolutism. Ugh.
He stated himself that he's a grade A noob. Well now he knows that he wasted all his points and he learned his lesson, so now he's gonna start looking things up. HOPEFULLY. But judging from how stupid he is for not looking it up in the first place I would say it's 50/50 that he learned his lesson.
Found out today: colonies that you create with "Expel Minorities" get separatism. I expelled some accepted culture heretics and with +2 tolerance of heretics, instead of being zealots they joined the particularist faction with lots of unrest, reaching 90% right on 1610. They were present across enough of my state land that reducing autonomy in their provinces got me to 41% absolutism along with a few other provinces with autonomy.
Another important thing to note is that now, with more recent updates and DLC, the mission "Conquer new states" grants -33% harsh treatment cost for 25 years. It is a good idea to save this mission until the age of absolutism. Next, there's the age bonus "harsher treatment" you should rush for to fulfill age bonuses so you can get it sooner. Lastly, with the "Third Rome" DLC, Orthodox countries get -33% harsh treatment cost with the Icon of Eleusa. These 3 bonuses makes what used to be 200 mil power less than 50, and the first 2 alone make most harsh treatment costs so small that you can do it in your sleep. Not only does this mean you no longer have to worry about rebels in your far-flung provinces in Asia and Africa, but you can get so much absolutism it'll be coming out of your ears. If you do it right, it makes the "Court and Country" event null and void.
As a fresh player to EU4 I had to watch this video about 10 times to understand and follow what exactly you do. Thanks for the information, nice and CLEAR guide.
A little update, I executed the guide and I still got to 110 absolution max ( I already startet with 65 base ), was there an update in between you making the video and now that changed things?
Probably not. What you could have experienced is that your cap on absolutism got lowered because of either of the following: 1) having a government type without bonuses to absolutism (e.g. Russian Principality, Republic, Constitutional Monarchy); 2) not having a Golden Era enacted at the moment (or having it finished); 3) not being of an Empire rank; 3) not having legitimacy in your country (in case your government form doesn't have it at all); 4) not being a Great Power (unlikely, but worth listing). I bet that the first two-three reasons will be able to fully explain your situation, since you need everything to be very carefully ligned up to get high absolutism max. Reman had his cap at 120 in the video, in part, due to still being in a Golden Era and having Despotic Monarchy as his government form.
You can spawn particularists/nobles etc. from estated provinces, by putting their loyalty below 40 and then take away the assigned estate from the province, causing a 100% chance for the right rebels to spawn, with the huge benefit of not having to lower your general unrest.
"Absolutely" fantastic guide. 75 absolutism in 1629 with Scotland, just wrecking the continent and preparing to move on the Ottomans. Looking forward to more Reman guides
Thank you for this video, I never really gave absolutism the attention I needed to prior to watching this video, instead I just raised autonomy in every province I conquered just so I didn't have to deal with rebels. My gameplay in the age of absolutism and beyond has since been improved drastically, not to mention how all your other videos have done the same for me, especially trade, going as far as to eclipse the people who taught me the game. Thank you and keep up the excellent videos mate!
Very thorough explanation - crazy to think that it's beneficial to bring on the disaster... I honestly wouldn't have ever done it. Very interesting stuff!
That song is absolutely amazing! thank you for putting it in this video! i immediately checked the description for it and have been listening to it on SoundCloud / UA-cam :D
Reman - thanks again for this video - your clear explanations with examples makes a video I search for whenever I see the Absolutism pop-uip....like....check with Reman just one more time to make sure I don't screw up this ironman game.
Thanks for this video. I just used these strategies in my first world conquest campaign and it went off without a hitch. ...well, small hitch. I didn't realize that autonomy couldn't be lowered while at war. Accepted the particularists demand while in a 10+ year quagmire of a league war and India coalition war. Thought that maybe Paradox edited out that trick. Glad that wasn't the case. It is 1630 and I have 70% absolutism. I think I might actually pull this one off. Thanks for your insight and keep up with the great videos.
Thank you for the strategy! I did it before the age began and got to 80 absolutism right after. The disaster progress finished in two years and even with the -20 from the disaster my max and actual absolutism capped at 80 in 1615. Now I will wait for the 10 years to pass and then I can enjoy the +20 max abs as you described. I am playing as Ottomans in ironman mode and I had only one shot to get this done. I'm very happy to get it almost perfect.
Fortunately, for republics, there is a way around -20 to -40 Max Absolutism (-30 for me as the Ambrosian Republic). The Dharma DLC allows you to have a series of reforms to your government. Including "Consolidation of Power" (+10), and "Strengthen Executive Powers" (+25). So even if you're the worst republic for Absolutism, the merchant republic with -40 max absolutism, you can still bring it down to a mere -5 if your government is fully reformed.
I used the particularist tactic in my France to Prussia campaign a while back, I basically went from 0 to 140 absolutism in a year. Full annexed Ming in one war once I capped my absolutism.
Update: Accepting rebel demands now lowers absolutism by 10, so make sure you'll actually get more than that for lowering autonomy in the affected provinces. Suffices to say they adequately addressed the method, although for really large empires it probably still works.
I'd really appreciate an in-depth look at combat. A lot of people instantly dismiss any questions I have and I have issues occassionally with following what happened, why I won and lost, and effective use of units in a stack.
Another way of getting particularist rebels (I.E the ones you want) is to piss of the burghers as they spawn particularists when you revoke land from them, and you can agree to their demands, so no real reason to tank actual unrest, (although you will need +1 anyway) But that can be achieved more temporarily, by having overextension that you either wont core, or by staying in a war where you can re-aquire OE at your Leisure.
So if I have this right, the best strategy is to start as a republic if you can to gain the enormous mana. When this age begins, then give a ton of land to nobles so they take over, revoke the land causing them to rise as rebels and then boosting stability to end the coup instantly, putting a despotic monarchy in charge. Then submit to their demands which gives local autonomy and negative legitimacy. Finally, just lower autonomy and strengthen government. Is that correct?
I admit I've always been lazy with my golden ages, I always did them near the end of the game at 1750, I would never know when it's a good time to use them.
Laughoutloud Studios then deal with the rebels, you would probably have your unrest back to normal by then and you shouldn t have a problem in your home provinces
when i do this and accept the rebel demands I instantly get a -50 max absolutism because of too low crownland, my crownland instantly goes to almost 0 when I do this...
Hmmm, if you just need Noble/Particularist rebels, you don't have to lose a ton of stability, you can just give an estate some land, make it disloyal and recall the land from it. Particularists spawn from Burghers (as you mentioned).
I would start Court and Country while spending my admin on Humanist or Innovative ideas, the interruption it gives to blobbing will not waste monarch points then.
thats the problem I have too, I looked all over reddit and ppl didnt seem to have rebel problems, although the posts are all from over a year ago. So i guess we just have to spawn particularist by having disloyal burgher estate intead?
@@tianwang3768 I just sucked up the unrest. It wasn't too bad, 5 years or so of rebel stomping but I was positioned for Court & Country anyway so not a big deal. My problem now is that I'm struggling to get to 65 absolutism cap for max bonus because I forgot to start revoking estate privileges early enough. Nearly 4k hours logged and I'm still a total noob.
@@nelsonpique lol I feel that, it would be nice to have more agency over estate interactions like mannually increasing/decreasing loyalty/ influence instead of passively waiting for loyalty to tick or events to happen
I think what Reman meant there is that you can increase absolutism by picking the option that spawns rebels in the corresponding events. Which then you have to kill :)
New to the game, tried this for the first time today. OP AS FUCK :D I was massive already as Mughals so the particularist amount was almost 600k. Accepting them all gave me so much chances to lower autonomy it sky rocketed myself to almost 80 absolutism. Didnt bother with the disaster anymore.
Hey, thanks for this video, Reman. May I suggest your next videos? What are the best age powers and use of vassals/marches/colonial nations (tariffs!) Or now that we have professionalism, what is the best army?
