21:55: "I am, by myself, powerful enough to fight off the great European empires with no help from France." Apparently the Aztecs were intellectual precursors to modern Americans. Who knew.
@Mikołaj Dujka During the American war of independence, the rebels got a lot of help from France. Without French support, the war would have been unwinnable. Supposedly, this part of the story often gets left out in American history classes.
@Kayeka it doesn't really get left out. We learn about this guy, Marquis de Lafayette I think, and how him and Benjamin Franklin worked out the alliance. It's been a while since my high school US history class though.
I am not gonna lie, this is the best A-Z video yet. I enjoyed it a lot! Loved it! As Ayutthaya, I think you should take over Indonesia or colonize Australia for "Ayustralia" lol
This was really cool. Switching to animist was a great idea, not so much switching back to Nahuatl. As for Ayutthaya, some colonies in the Pacific would be fun.
how exactly is being animist beneficial? if he stays nahuatl he might get all the reforms off then he just needs his snitch to give him a neighboring core province and boom
3:25 what I usually do is sell my provinces, no cb an animist nation and force convert myself, after that the recon quest is easy, but I think your method is better😂
One letter down. 25 to go. You are 7.3% done. Ish. 71 tags down the alphabetical list, with a total of 966 numbered tags. But that's including any formables/releasables, without even getting into the too generic ones. So you're actaully much closer than 7.3%.
2:08 - No it's not. I remember when EU4 and several of its DLCs were on Humble Bundle for about $17, which was effectively about 92% off. THAT was the best trade deal in the history of trade deals. :)

I'd love to see a "Who can finish me first" like, have all of them (support or not), all of them try and kill you by a certain year but only the person who takes your last province or subjects you wins. And maybe fuel a rivalry between them with a prize of some sort.
Gotchu brother, i had internal conflicts and bankruptcy. Had to take one for the team to continue the tradition (totally not an excuse for being bad at the game)
played as ming china and now playing as sunda (indonesia)...i plan to play as aztec (or someone similar) after my sunda game after that, i plan to play as persia or ottomans...or an african country? = gao and songhai seem to have intersting histories my motto = play anything but europe
Really great idea for a challenge! Enjoyed that one a lot. Would it have been possible to show the world history at the end? Not sure if that is possible in multi player campaigns. But I think that would have added a lot to see how the others were doing (at least it would have satiated my inherent curiosity, haha).
Staying Nahuatl probably would have been better to keep the reforms. Plus, you could have agreed with France to try to push themselves colonizing to get a province bordering you as quickly as possible. The way you were expanding was basically the correct way to do it, but can be improved. Yes, reduce them all to OPMs, but then cycle between 2 sets of 5 OPM vassals to reform as quickly as possible. Never ever annex as pre-reformation Aztecs, and never finish a war without vassalizing. Ideally, while animist, you keep the minimum number of troops to defend yourself, in order to build up a massive war chest for when you swap back to Nahuatl. If you do it right, you can become a powerhouse on par with the Ottomans.
for Ayutthaya you could form Siam and beat again France Britain Spain and ming at the same time ( If it s even possible ). also this was really good Thanks from France
So the "flip to animist" is the strategy I always use on Aztecs. One thing however, since 1.32 I can no longer do it? The "force religion" tribute seems to have its cost increased by 400% now? Nevermind am just dumb I have to do it the old fashioned way sadge Also the nahuatl religion is insane and I would recommend sticking with it even in MPs so many military buffs. +10% morale of armies and +5% discipline
I know i am a bit late, i picked up the series recently it is very cool. But i think you should put clips of the other players in your future multipayer campaigns
I dont have all the DLC but in my version with the Dorado expansion included I can adopt instutitions as aztecs without changing to animist, very strange.
Try EU4 for FREE, get it for 75% off, get most DLCs for 50% off: rebrand.ly/TheRedHawk

It was Free in epic games tho

Lmao
imagine EU5, lol
it's during the Letter Q..
@@TheRedHawk The Waffle House has found its New Host
Eu5 wont be playeble when its first released.
It will take years to get dlcs and flavor like what happened in eu4

The link is clear. 🤣

A -Z but multiplayer, very cool
Please do more like this in the future
Will do!
What a cool way to challenge yourself in A to Z! I hope we see more ideas like this in the future.
Thank you! It was super fun to make!
I am not gonna lie, this is the best A-Z video yet. I enjoyed it a lot! Loved it! As Ayutthaya, I think you should take over Indonesia or colonize Australia for "Ayustralia" lol
Thank you for the kind words I appreciate the support!
Wow, finally you are at the "Z".
Seriously, I just look at the second letter to see your progress. Baden awaits!
Baden next week!
@@TheRedHawk What happened to Ayyutthaya?
@@antorseax9492 I think they're a bit out of order sometimes. Austria was before Ava, if I remember correctly.
@@syro33 I think you mean the other way around.
I also think that putting an A after a B is a bit too out of the order
This was really cool. Switching to animist was a great idea, not so much switching back to Nahuatl.
As for Ayutthaya, some colonies in the Pacific would be fun.
Yeah should just try to go Totemist instead later!
I mean he still got 2 great reforms before switching back to animist, idk if you keep those though
@@luctapia you don't.
Not really aztecs if not nahuatl
how exactly is being animist beneficial? if he stays nahuatl he might get all the reforms off then he just needs his snitch to give him a neighboring core province and boom
Portugal : May your sky be filled with comets
*COMET SIGHTED*
I can't wait for the Inca in this A to Z I hope you do human colonizers for that one too.
Once we knew France was his ally it was going to be hard to lose. Especially against Portugal and Norway. Still a fun watch!
France helping out the Aztecs actually make a lot of sense, historically speaking...
At least until they decide it's time for some colonizing fun :)
Yeah, France would totally install a powerful Mexican ally.
@@christophershell7564 As long as it’s completely loyal to France if not then they’re just goin to go Second Mexican Empire
@@nightmarexgaming120 But only if they have Napoleon on their throne.
Whoever that France player is they must be super hot and good at EU4… i wonder who it is???
I would like to know as well!

“Some of the best eu4 players around
…your favorite content creators will be casting”
Glad to know you’ll be there
Lmao maybe next time!
@@TheRedHawk I’ll be waiting until then 👍
This has been my favorite challenge so far, and that's saying something. Looking forward to Ayutthaya.
Thank you for the kind words!
9:12 Thank you for saying "Strengthen Noble Privileges"
I was almost afraid you wouldn't!
"I am literally the best EU4 player of all time", you said. Time to change your name to The Red GOAT?
This was fantastic. Would really enjoy seeing more multiplayer A-Z
So happy you;re getting the recognition you deserve Hawk, congrats and excellent twist on A to Z!
Much appreciated!
Can't wait to see what you do for the other 30 native nations...
Lmao
was pretty excited to see the title of this one
do more like this later pleaseeeee
One letter down. 25 to go.
You are 7.3% done. Ish. 71 tags down the alphabetical list, with a total of 966 numbered tags. But that's including any formables/releasables, without even getting into the too generic ones. So you're actaully much closer than 7.3%.
Check out the national ideas page on the wiki, those are the nations that I'm doing!
This was a really good video! Hope we can see multiplayer in another a to z game!
2:08 - No it's not. I remember when EU4 and several of its DLCs were on Humble Bundle for about $17, which was effectively about 92% off. THAT was the best trade deal in the history of trade deals. :)
I went from art of war to all dlcs in one day feels good man
I imagine acquiring a bankruptcy is rather difficult in multiplayer...
Nah not really, I just forgot lol
I was patiently waiting for you to make this video since you announced it, wasn't disappointed
“I don’t know what nations everyone is playing” - The Red Hawk
Can see all the nations everyone is playing in the chat window he had open - Also The Red Hawk
I did’t know before we started bruh
Loving this twist man.
Thanks I appreciate it!
00:04 your title here
Nice! I usually get wrecked in these kinds of challenges, good on you for managing to outdo yourself in such a challenging situation!
You should do a game with no DLC, just the base game.
16:12 ok this is embarrassing xd
Lmao I hope you had fun my dude!
@@TheRedHawk Definitely! Funnest i had ever since i started playing eu4. Once again, even though i died early, thank you for the opportunity
As Ayutthaya, you should emigrate to Australia and turn it into a devved-up island fortress.
I'd love to see a "Who can finish me first" like, have all of them (support or not), all of them try and kill you by a certain year but only the person who takes your last province or subjects you wins. And maybe fuel a rivalry between them with a prize of some sort.
maybe when you get to inca?
As Ayutthaya, form Siam and no CB Ming
I can’t believe he didn’t declare bankruptcy
I had to tryhard this game you know what I’m saying
Gotchu brother, i had internal conflicts and bankruptcy. Had to take one for the team to continue the tradition (totally not an excuse for being bad at the game)
i declared bankruptcy after hawk peaced me out
@@onionskin3254 no not at all
Best one yet, great job dude
Thank you!
played as ming china and now playing as sunda (indonesia)...i plan to play as aztec (or someone similar) after my sunda game
after that, i plan to play as persia or ottomans...or an african country? = gao and songhai seem to have intersting histories
my motto = play anything but europe
Whery fun that you took multiplayer into the series. It was really exiting to se you get challenged in a different way.
I was looking for something like this for a while, thank youuuu, great concept and execution xD
How cruel of Paradox to make EU4 free the weekend before finals...
same lol
Whose idea at Paradox was it to change Tenochtitlan's name to Mexico btw.
This was really cool,I have never saw a multiplayer game. A worth goal for the Aztecs.
In my Tuscany playtrough the Aztec are destroying Portugal
Lol nice
I just wanted to say this is one of my favorite videos. I really liked it, hope you do more stuff like this in the future. Subscribed.
Thank you for the kind words!
I’ve never seen EU4 before this and man it’s awesome! Great introduction.
This made me wanna play the Aztecs lol
Do it!
Yessss some extra spice on the already delicious A-Z meal
Aztec Before Ayutthaya?
Yeah I had to switch them around, but Ayutthaya is coming tomorrow!
loved this, greetings from México
gran trabajo
Really great idea for a challenge! Enjoyed that one a lot. Would it have been possible to show the world history at the end? Not sure if that is possible in multi player campaigns. But I think that would have added a lot to see how the others were doing (at least it would have satiated my inherent curiosity, haha).
well this was basically france stomping others
great idea for an A to Z challenge. stired things up and made an unique video. kuddos for the creativity!
Ah yeah the historical pillage of AMOGUS
Tikal monument is not built in 1444? I'm pretty sure it was already built for hundreds of years by then...
Love your content! Congrats for 50k!
I'd liked to have seen the entire map afterwards. Could you please review the save game 🥺
Great idea man, you’re killing it.
Thanks!
Wow! You got that tech up fast! You might almost say that this was an A-Z-tech campaign.
When this series ends we need the bois to watch in horror as you world conquest them as Zapotecas.
Please keep telling us "you should pick strengthen noble privileges for your tier 2 government reform" as Ayutthaya
14:42 RIP surprise, damn.
That animist trick really makes the sunset invasion a lot easier.
If you see this for future reference, the "L" at the end of Nahuatl words is silent, so Nahuatl for example would be pronounced "Nah wat"
20:55 crusader king 2 players ptsd. A nice big blue France. And in less than a second 200k troops from nowhere taking the entire kingdom.
The funniest part is that it's still letter A...
You should do this more often!
For ayutthaya you should try to no cb ming with no allies or vassals because ayutthaya is way to op
Staying Nahuatl probably would have been better to keep the reforms. Plus, you could have agreed with France to try to push themselves colonizing to get a province bordering you as quickly as possible.
The way you were expanding was basically the correct way to do it, but can be improved. Yes, reduce them all to OPMs, but then cycle between 2 sets of 5 OPM vassals to reform as quickly as possible.

the switching back to animist thing gave me so much pain
hey looks like it worked out though! nice!
for Ayutthaya you could form Siam and beat again France Britain Spain and ming at the same time ( If it s even possible ).
also this was really good
Thanks from France
the guy playing portugal is very cool
Lmao thanks for playing CJ! Hope you had fun!
I agree
@@TheRedHawk definitely had fun
I hope next time a weaker nation will help you fighting against colonizers
Oh cool I've been waiting for these
So the "flip to animist" is the strategy I always use on Aztecs. One thing however, since 1.32 I can no longer do it? The "force religion" tribute seems to have its cost increased by 400% now?
Nevermind am just dumb I have to do it the old fashioned way sadge

Super fun to watch keep em coming!
Excellent video! More of this please
By anychance now that you did this can you do an aztec or Maya guide?
Also I enjoyed the video quite a bit.
let the sunset invasion BEGIN!
Would like to see you reverse colonize Spain as Cebu before Magellan reaches the island on March 1521. Btw, Magellan was killed there in real life.
Super fun, more stuff like this!
Will do!
20:29 the among us armada lol
I know i am a bit late, i picked up the series recently it is very cool. But i think you should put clips of the other players in your future multipayer campaigns
Challenge for Ayutthaya:
Conquer the Ivory Coast or all ivory provinces.
Ivory for the white elefant.
"This is the best trade deal in the history of trade deals. Maybe even ever"
Didn't age well
In my times, we all played natives and got our ass kicked
This challenge will never end
Great vids brooo💪💪
*Realizes none of my friends have any interest in playing any paradox games.Cries.Dies*
I will forever toil in Hell for this comment…
But this is like a Dream video in EU4
Finally. Your Title Here.
Portugal and Norway were jobbing for real 😮💨
There was no challenge France litteraly ruin norway and Portugal by itself
I just wished we saw what europe looked like
Your the best! Maybe try colonial Siam? Or become the emperor of China and the shogun?
I dont have all the DLC but in my version with the Dorado expansion included I can adopt instutitions as aztecs without changing to animist, very strange.
any advices about wich dlc should i get?
There should have been a part 2 for a real sunset invasion
Baluchstan into mughals when ?
Hmm, in about a week or two to be honest
@@TheRedHawk oooh nice
