Instead of PU Naples you can follow the Provence mission tree to get Naples. They get cores on all of Naples ( so no AE if you take their lands) and then claims Aragon.
Fun fact, if Jean Bureau is dead and you still don't have finished the mission you can recruit a general, name him Jean Bureau (don't forget the capital letters) and you can finish it
Found this out the hard way. Had Jean Bureau die before the Surrender of Maine and I thought it would be funny to name a new general after him only for the mission to be completed after
I prefer to conquer it, otherwise is too easy. It's infuriating when Burgundy releases their pus mid war and game considers them allies so double AE. Happened to me as castile a few days ago
great choice. I played them immediately after new patch and now I cant finish their mission tree cause one idea and even dont have revolutionary ideas :D
Just for your information, maybe you should wait next time before you complete the Burgundy mission. In your case, they rival Austria anyway. So if you do the mission after you just inherite them insantly.

Ludi the island is called Great Britain (you've probably searched it by now). Anyways, i've been watching you the last 7 months and you are the reason i'm playing eu4. Keep it up.
Great Video Ludi, I just wanted to ask: If you have the aliance, the relations and some of the passive favour gain with the Papacy, why dont you use the favours to get back cores of Provence and Savoy? It might save you some AE in europe.
Well done Ludy, cannot wait for the next part of this series. Actually France was during the time of the games (15-18 centuries) a super power. It is normal for Paradox to make them powerfull.
@@theortheo2401 for Spain it's only during the 16th and 17th century, it was never very powerful otherwise. the same for England, it only became an important power from the 17th century. only france, austria and the ottomans were powerful from the middle age to the 20th century and france more particularly.
Yeah, except during the reign of François Ier, he's remembered as a super monarch and the symbol of Renaissance in France, but he's got his ass kicked several times by Spain while trying to conquer Italy XD
You could use the alliance favor interactions to ask the Papal States for your vassals code back. Even if you don’t want to keep them as an ally it lets you take the land for no AE in exchange for favors.
Ok so France is actually an AE monster with those free Burdungy/Provance/Papal state missions. Sadly there is no information in "Which land your ally wants exactly and how much of them he wanna take during 1 war" I mean you can check their intrest but you don't know if someone will take whole Florence or just 3 provinces. 1. Feed Provance as much you can, so you don't get AE. In my case i gave him 3 provinces from Brittany, 1 from Pope, Saluzo and bunch of Savoyrian? Lands. Also 2 provinces for Lorraine. In exchange i got a lot of favours so if i wanted i could finish that quest faster. 2. Burgundy - Similar as above, each time i had war with someone close to his PU - Gave 1/2 provinces if i could Feeed Savoy 3. Papal - Had him since start, was slowly feeding him Whole Italy. + Once i knew i wanted to click missions i made few vassals for myself just to give Papal extra provinces. In my game i had before 1500 all England, close to whole Italy (just few Aragoneese lands left cause i was trying to get PU over Castille, didn't work and i didn't abuse restarts), Standard Vassals as Byzantine/Bulgaria/Styria, Burgundy etc, With close to no AE :D
29:30 when you were wondering what province byzantine we're at check the states and territories map and you can see which province(s) they are currently coring. This works for everything except reconquest and personal Union wars where they don't have to core. It's a good way to see who you need to ally to join a war with you
26:11 As a Brit, yes Ludi, that island is Britain. Here are a few more things in case you are wondering: - British Isles - Britain, Ireland, isle of man etc. - United Kingdom - Britain + northern ireland (although channel islands are usually included) - Great Britain - UK + British overseas territories + channel islands Hope it helps :) (Great video as always)
The problem with the mission tree is that you need to own or have subject own naples inorder to complete the mission that make pope your march. But sometimes pope can do it himself, which is super frustrating. The should also make a condition that if you align with pope and the pope control the naples also can complete the mission
One UA-camr, flying Dutchman i think is the channel name... Posts full gameplay of his videos... And barely gets views above 3k... For years now... I always remember how u and others commented that, that kind of videos are dead... Sad to see that since i do enjoy those kind of videos too... Cheers from Serbia to u Ludi
Ive noticed a lot of UA-camrs have the same game of Ottomans not expanding into Mamluke territory. Otherwise, cant wait to do a new France playthrough!
You can ask to Pope for the Provence cores and if Provence get more than 100 dev points you get cores over Napoli, not claims cores and you can get back with not agreesive expansion and remember the new missions of France do more easy integrate Provence.
@@darrendin2050 I see what you saying. Still due to the somewhat special situation of France (Vichy France and occupied France) and the resistance's fight the victory tastes a bit more sweet. Nonetheless it couldn't have been achieved without the allies! And it's a bank holiday here in France today. On the other hand it might be sheer luck to upload this France video today. :)
For people who play ironman dont go for provence unless you feel lucky, theres only a 10% chance to get the PU over them with the diplo version of the mission (you still get pu cb)
That's wrong my dude. They removed auto inheritance of Provence Mission and drasticly increase chance for then to accept our. In 3 tries they accepted three times
It is now 100% however You cant insta annex them now via the other mission. Keep in mind You cant get Musketeers until you have no vassal on mainland france so it’s at least 50 years extra if you get them in a pu
France vs Prussia 1806 Yk just 60 years prior, and before anyone complains (oh twasnt full Germany! It doesnt count and France had more than France, im pretty sure getting out of over a decade of political instability, military crisis against several countries economical crisis etc... winning several coalition wars prior, defeating the 2 other strongest continental Empires like half a year prior makes up for lack of german unification) Beside losing a war isnt anything new, France was still very shortly afterward back to one of the strongest of Europe just no longer an potential Hegemon. The only severe defeat that lasted a sh** ton of time really was 1940 and thats really it
26:10 - the larger island is "Great Britain" whereas the island of Ireland has been known by various names - Hibernia (the Roman name) and Britannia Minor are two examples. The more strident Irish nationalists refer to the isles as "the Atlantic isles" disputing British ownership of Ireland.
I don't play/watch EU4 : But someone told me watch this video at 7:40 to increase my PP by 10% permanently. So here I am. This is not what I had in mind for sure.

@@g-manvic3958 Oh absolument, mec. If you're comparing decolonisation through democratic/political means to an actual arse-kicking in a war, you've already lost.
28:28 dude idk how this happens like it happened to me too I was playing Castile and Aragon not only became a republic but alliances boxed me like wtf it affected my campaign so much I went colonial instead of Roman Empire run but hey atleast I got the hood queen automatically
I always co-belligerent Portugal in the war. So I can take lands from them. The I usually go for Spain next while I start getting claims in north africa. Spain usually allies with Portugal at this point which allows me to reset the truce timer. And then snake my way around Castile.
it was a good move by Ludi to attack England rather than wait for the event as I've started as France, 4 times and England always gave me maine without fighting over it
Why not use favors to return core for subjects and instead go for war? It is a great way to expand fairly easily with no AE with proper subjects. As a big nation with good diplomatic reputation like France it is a piece of cake!

But it aint the same because Jean Bureau has the siege :(
@@dapimp6861 yes
Do you know if you can name your second starting general Jean Bureau too and finish the mission by having him win 4 battles?

You can save so much AE with such missions ^^.

Thanks for this video ludi , i'm french and for the 8th may you do a video about France, the day of the end of the War 😉 good job , my Romanin boy
VIVE LA FRANCE !
u could just ask for return core under favors from the papel it would prob be like 30-40 favors each but worth it if u wanna keep the alliance

The 1.35 make french mission tree so historically accurate, it's beautiful
Ludi, why don’t you use the returner core favor mechanic to return the papal lands to provence?
Easy to answer. Ludi be wanting em faster. Warmongerer style ;D
you can keep the holy orders and swithc back to the offensive pope branch u get to choose another option when u do the mission alpine pass.

I got an event where the King of Naples abdicated and I got the PU on them
I'm suffering economic problems as france the army and navy cost way too much.
build less army and navy.
When you try to play a little bit more historically and stay on the continent (meaning no Pale), the game as France gets much more challenging.
The "50%" removal for integrating the appenage kinda blew my mind. Yeah, let's make it even easier to blob! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just FYI British isles are: isle of Great Brittain, isle of Mann and Ireland
