Thanks so much man! I just got WC and OF with this guide. I can't believe how good it is and how well it works. It's so nice to nail both of these, even if it took until 1815.
Good stuff, a quick tip from The Student: support rebels is a great option to gain a CB on a nation you don't border/have a claim on. And yes, you can take provinces in a Support Rebels CB Thanks for the guide!
FYI, you don't need to no CB the protestants. Just declare on their allies and call them in. You can also co-beligerate other countries to draw in a protestant. In the video he No-CB'd nassau, but they were allied to his neighbor loraine. All he had to do was declare on loraine. I've also had to do chains when I don't border their ally. EX you want nassau, they are allied to loraine and loraine is allied to Gelre which you do have a border with. You declare on Gelre, co-beligerate loraine, then loraine calls in nasau. It makes the wars a bit bigger, but by this stage you're just bashing HRE minors. It's much less painful than No CBing a bunch of countries.
I usually like to wait until there are the three Protestant Reformation Centres. Then I declare on, essentially, all the Protestant nations (they usually rework their alliance networks in 15/20 years to make it possible). And if I am lucky, I get the centres in OPMs. Then I get to Enforce Religion on all (or atleast a lot) of the protestants and get rid of the centres. The problem with doing this is that odds are you won't trigger the Religious War, which is needed to get all the Austria missions for the achievement (not needed for WC or OF).
I don't know whether that was just the pre-release patch they have but Laith had some weird behaviour with it in his video where it looked as if it gave the PU to nobody. So still better safe than sorry to send the request yourself, even if not strictly necessary anymore.
@@DylanSargessonthis is a bug that already exist in 1.36, it happens when Burgundy strongest ally is a republic that can have royal marriges (florance in laiths case)
Dude, there are like 300 of them, 86 had been deciphered. From Wikipedia: Austriae est imperare orbi universo - "Austria is to rule the whole world" Austria erit in orbe ultima - "Austria will rule to the end of the world" Augustus est iustitiae optimus vindex - "The emperor is the best defender of justice" (oh yeah, the letter "u" could also be a "V")
@37:15 instead of wasting your diplo slots for a few months allying everybody and then breaking those alliances once you rein them all in, I suggest improving relations with all of them starting once you accomplish the mission to get 4 electors opinion over 100 and voying for you. You can get and maintain +100 opinion with all the Italian states before The Shadow Kingdom event triggers, couple that with the +50 modifier from that mission you just took and you have +150 for sure, not mentioning the +10 same faith modifier. Dont waste your time and diplo points allying and breaking those alliances a month later. You can also Bestow Imperial Grace if needed (like if they rival you for example - Savoy!), which you will get back for accomplishing the Shadow Kingdom event.
I think what's really good for any run where you want to Revoke is to not let the Imperial Authority go to waste by using the 'Bestow Imperial Grace' diplo action on nations whom don't support the next reform. This way you won't need that much microing, since you can get these countries like you faster, while also doing something with your excess IA
1:31:01 Emperor can take/core any province inside HRE in war peace deal, circumventing any normal coring rules. So could've declared on Köln right away, took the 2 provinces on the side, which would've flipped him into full protestant and then declare another war right after
just wrapped this up, my second world conquest and first one faith. I knew the general way to get it done but the extra details were quite helpful. Cheers!
For newer players, I'd also mention that you should definitely divert trade from all your HRE vassals. This will give you total control over all european trade nodes, which will net you more money than you'll know what to do with.
hint for a starter... if you really rush downsubjugating bohemia at the starts, can even allie and promise poland land, hire mercs with siege pips etc then you can trigger the polish PU mission before they get the lithuanian pu. means you dont have to cut down poland in annoying wars but just get poland complete easy. and lithuania in a seperate cause size only matters the moment you click the mission
extra tip, for the shadow event I recommend improving relation with Italian nation up to 100 before clicking the mission : Italian ambition. Like this you can instant click the mission rein in Italy and they stay no problem with anything else
Hey Redhawk! I am a somewhat casual EU4 player slooooowly grinding through the achievements and love using your guides! It would be awesome if you could timestamp some events that occur at random times, especially major events like HRE Incidents in this video, so that I don't have to scroll through the whole video looking for it. Love the content!
I believe, and could be wrong, that paradox fixed the burgundian inheritance event so that even if you accept their RM offer it will still trigger. It was in the patch notes under the gameplay fixes I think
@6:45 you can spend 4 imperial authority to bestow imperial grace on 4 electors right off the bat. They are already voting for you and their opinion is high enough that the +41 will put them over the 75 threshold required.
Hawk playing Austria is always enjoyable to watch! ❤ Looking forward to your videos of the other updated nations in 1.37 Edit: I noticed that they changed some province names in the Austria Region, now they are named like we Austrians would pronounce them in Austrian german slang.
Dang it! These 1.37 pre-release runs from the UA-camrs are killing me. I have no idea who I want to play first now. Yesterday, I even considered playing Venice after Ludi's video...Venice, of all things...at least Hawk has saved me by enticing Austria...
Hi Hawk, great vid thanks for the guide. I would like to share one optimization we could consider in order to spare diplo points. It is to bestow imperial grace on all the italians right before taking first imperial reform (as you had 60+ imperial authority). With the additionnal +50 from the mission, that would make rein in Italy possible with far less diplo interaction.
@28:30 instead of taking provinces from Bosnia, you could have left them as is and then warned Ragusa. That way Ragusa couldnt attack Bosnia, you dont take up valuable governing capacity and you still get to integrate Bosnia into the HRE later.
1:11:42 Romania has pretty solid defensive ideas so if you do this and then keep them as a march they’re actually really useful for fort occupation during wars.
34:20 I appreciate them making this an option for those of us who prefer vassal/Junior partner gameplay. I actually like when Burgundy is able to stick around a while as my junior partner as opposed to nearly instantly inheriting them and getting awful borders.
For shadow kingdom is not neccesary allied with anyone. Just improve and keep relations with Italians over 100 before the event triggers. Then using the +50 from the mission you get the 150 very fast.
At 1:00:00, wouldn’t the best way to reduce the Pope in size be to release Provence yourself and ask for those provinces back? Or you can’t release it from Alsace because it’s not their primary culture?
If someone you attack is allied to an Italian country, defeating the Italian country in the war reins them in and you do not need to ally them, even if the imperial incedent has not fired yet.
To make the Hapsburg family privilege more threatening. - make events where if you strengthen it (lose crownlands), the modifiers become positive, but negative (gain crownlands) makes modifiers worse. Howover to prevent spam of meta privileges, if below a threshold (5 or 10% crownland) or a certain amount of influence (50/60 and higher) instigates Hapsburg civil war and breaks up austria into styria, triol, and austria proper. Tiny bit more flavor for an already outstanding tag
This guide was quite a while ago but I have to say that the most underrated great project as HRE vassal swarm ist Versailles. The income from vassals bonus is insane with all these subjects. Probably doubles income if you get it by the 1550s
Small note about the Burgundian succession: It's ok to accept a royal marriage offer from Philippe. It's only once Charles is on the throne that you need to send it. Often times I'll accept Philippe's request just so that I know when he dies, because Charles will send an offer as soon as Philippe dies and breaks the royal marriage.
One thing I would suggest doing is to rival Bohemia at the start of the game. Since you are going to PU them so early you can snag a lot of power projection and give yourself a boost to monarch point generation very early on.
But isn't their an opinion hit for "former rival" when you subjugate a rival? May make it harder to get a positive opinion and risk losing the PU on monarch death
@@nimbusttp_archive So I was mistaken, I went and checked after posting my comment. For some reason, I thought there was a like -100 opinion for former rivals, but it's just a liberty desire hit which is way more manageable
1:40:37 In this case you probably didn't need to no cb Nassau because they were allied to Dauphine and Lorraine, wich you can get a clain on because you border them. Nassau being an OPM doesn't even requires to be co-beligerated to force religion on them. I think :D
Couple of things. As some other said, if opm converts just declare on their allies you can force non cobeligerent as long as the province isn't stupidly high dev. Second and more important, from what I noticed only first center will have the zeal, other two won't. So if the first one is in opm you are pretty much sorted. As Austria you can take any clay in HRE, convert the center and if you want return it. Also, you have u think 20 years to kill first 3 center before reformed becomes enabled. If you are struggling to get Italians for shadow kingdom just allie the ones that are willing and declare on others. One big war with your allies and it's done. Castile also always helps in Italy especially if they have Naples. Another small note is don't curry favours and put a Habsburgs early on a throne of Castile as they get event to get Isabella and I've never seen AI refuse that. And last thing, seeing how you no longer need galicia from Poland for PU, cut through Poland and eat Lithuania. Get a border with muscovy, warn them and in second war releas as many Lithuanian releasables as you can. That way you have more countries to force into HRE and Lithuania doesn't get rebelius if Poland is too small. I would also take the black see coast from moldavia just to make sure otto doesn't go in raw. I'll deffo go for Austria first in the new patch.
There should be a cleansing heresy CB available for the emperor to deal with the centers of reformation in a less wacky way than going around making claims bordering claims or no-CB wars, imo.
The franco ottoman alliance hit me in 1469. alt f 4 rip. I didn't know that was a possibility. Had burgundy hungary and bohemia but france with the appanges managed to hold me and spain off long enough for the event to fire and the ottos to join the war. Thought to share since I don't think that event was mentioned at all this vid. But it did really help me a lot, so thank you again for making these.
I did manage to break the alliance by attacking one of france's european allies and forcing the break in the peace deal. But I think the poland pu is still broken. didn't get the Cb when i clicked it even with the check mark.
Thanks for the video, but one thing you don’t usually need to no cb heretic princes you don’t border. It’s a bit tedious but you can usually use alliance chains to get them by clicking co-belligerent on allies of allies.
Hey RedHawk Love your guides, they made the game a lot more enjoyable for me. Can you do Guides on nations you havent ever covered yet, like Hordes (Oirat) or in this new update american nations or Guides on more general concepts like wars sometimes you say a war should be easy but i struggle
You no longer have to send the royal marriage to Burgundy. In the patch notes they explained that you will be eligible for the burgundian inheritance even if they sent the offer to you :) Only after the update drops though, of course.
I'm pretty sure those centers of reformation have a much easier way to be dealt with - instead of waiting for religious zeal to go away, for Frankfurt and Cologne you could simply have enforced religion on them through vassal interactions after revoking. Since they're OPMs, enforcing religion should automatically convert them and their capital to Catholic and remove the center of reformation. Switzerland however had to be dealt with in the way to showed, as they weren't an OPM. Let me know if I'm wrong about that, but I think this would work.
@@novesspl5061 Even if they're an OPM? I don't think you can be a Catholic country with only one province which is Catholic, whilst simultaneously having a Centre of Reformation. It shouldn't work if it had more than one province.
@@ViperBitten i think you are right. I must have been confused or something when writing my comment because only now that i read it again i noticed that you meant OPM
Hey Red, long time fan. Doing my first WC using your guide. Few little hiccups including Spain in Southern Italy and France (for dev requirements), Anglican UK, A late Poland PU and a delayed inherit Burgundy by 1550 BUT no reformation. A question about the conquering afterwards - do you conquer and own directly or do you play the vassal feed game? I'm worried about growing too slowly. Also have Hapsburgs in line for Britain and Russia.
Feeding HRE vassals provinces later in the game will become harder as you expand outwards. You will notice their coring distance won't be anywhere close to yours and often will refuse lands in areas they have no interest in, so they will be limited in what you can give them. At some point you will need to bite the bullet and feed the majority of conquered provinces to yourself. That said there are some notables who will be more willing to gain provinces even some distance away; Genoa, Venice and Ragusa. Being trade republics they don't mind province hopping or the distance if it means increased trade. I've given lands in South Africa to Genoa one game, but couldn't get them any in India no matter how hard I tried.
I tried this - France had the Ottoman - French alliance and I was stuck in perpetual debt. Stuck with a troop stack of 24 at 1480, permanently losing up to 9 ducats per month. Fuck man it was pain.
If you struggle with reining in Italy, put your diplomats on improving with the Italian nations a couple years before the shadow kingdom triggers. That way, they’ll all be very close +150 relations already and it should be really easy.
1:20:40 You could've used the cleansing of heresy cb back then already against lubeck. 1:41:30 Also, to avoid that bit of AE and stab hit just get a cb an neighbouring allies like dauphine or lorraine. Same goes for Frankfurt, there you could've even saved the authority for revoking the free city. I'd expect more of a guide tbh.
Can you continue the playthrough in a second video? Doesn't necessarily have to be in a guide format I am just curious to see how the rest of the game plays out. Great video!
Hi red hawk thanks for your new guide. I’m a 200h new player and tried Austria in 1.36 in which I got 9 reforms in 1515 and eventually got all the corresponding achievements(including conquer the world). When I saw the log before I thought it won’t be powerful cuz for example PU Poland will be more difficult. But it seems like it’s still strong. I was wondering what the other reform path(split rights path）feels like and I’m going to try in this new dlc.
Would really really love it , for when content creators publish guides and they have a certain requirement, such as allying and royal marry Burgundy , please state it at the beginning of the video and not 7.5 minutes into the video so we wont have to restart the game and follow instructions all over again. Other than that , very good video as always and love your content.
Nothing is going right. Bohemia gets 4 allies, Venice allies Castille, Burgundy rivals me and Hungary doesn't take Ladislaus. Sometimes the Pope even hates me.

ye, it hurt to see, when Nassau had a few allies who can be main target and he still no cb
Frankfurt too had a ton of allies to declare on, unless they're too large you can force religion on a non co belligerent.

I am so glad for name change to Austrian Empire, looks beautiful
played Theodoro in E-Access, the new Gothic Invasion mechanic is definitely something worthy of a Red Hawk challenge imo.
If you check the patchnotes, they made it to where accepting a royal marriage from burgundy still works for the burgundain inheritance.
At 1:00:00, wouldn’t the best way to reduce the Pope in size be to release Provence yourself and ask for those provinces back? Or you can’t release it from Alsace because it’s not their primary culture?
The value of the subjugation CB on the italians isn't to actually subjugate them, you use the CB to beat them in a war, and just peace out for ducats.
If someone you attack is allied to an Italian country, defeating the Italian country in the war reins them in and you do not need to ally them, even if the imperial incedent has not fired yet.

You no longer have to send the royal marriage to Burgundy. In the patch notes they explained that you will be eligible for the burgundian inheritance even if they sent the offer to you :) Only after the update drops though, of course.
The religious zeal modifier is only on the first religious center of each religion. The second and third religious centers do not get the modifier.
1:20:40 doesn't the Deus vult CB work on the protestant country Lübeck in this case, why do you need a claim?
I'm pretty sure those centers of reformation have a much easier way to be dealt with - instead of waiting for religious zeal to go away, for Frankfurt and Cologne you could simply have enforced religion on them through vassal interactions after revoking. Since they're OPMs, enforcing religion should automatically convert them and their capital to Catholic and remove the center of reformation. Switzerland however had to be dealt with in the way to showed, as they weren't an OPM. Let me know if I'm wrong about that, but I think this would work.
Converting through vassal options no longer removes reformation centers
@@novesspl5061 Even if they're an OPM? I don't think you can be a Catholic country with only one province which is Catholic, whilst simultaneously having a Centre of Reformation. It shouldn't work if it had more than one province.
@@ViperBitten i think you are right. I must have been confused or something when writing my comment because only now that i read it again i noticed that you meant OPM
4 Restarts in and each time Bohemia allies 4 different nations outnumbering you (and saxony if you promise land). There must've been a patch.
1:40:00 just vassalize Nassau it doesnt count for dip slots cause erbkaisetum and than you can force religion
Just one thing to note, you have access to a super cheap level 3 admin advisor at the start, pick him instead
Couldn't decide what movie to watch. Good thing there's a 2 hour Red Hawk vid instead.
is there any video showing what graphical/ui mods u are using?
rating the intro save as a 3/5 for not running level 5 advisors or 6/6/6 ruler and border gore
Did they change something about the burgundian succession crisis? I've played two runs and both times they got a legitimate heir :C
As far as I know they fix Royal Marriage thing for Burgundy in this patch. You are eligible if they sent you too
Man, i slept in the middle of your video... This how your voice is so nice and chill man
Hey Red, long time fan. Doing my first WC using your guide. Few little hiccups including Spain in Southern Italy and France (for dev requirements), Anglican UK, A late Poland PU and a delayed inherit Burgundy by 1550 BUT no reformation. A question about the conquering afterwards - do you conquer and own directly or do you play the vassal feed game? I'm worried about growing too slowly. Also have Hapsburgs in line for Britain and Russia.
Feeding HRE vassals provinces later in the game will become harder as you expand outwards. You will notice their coring distance won't be anywhere close to yours and often will refuse lands in areas they have no interest in, so they will be limited in what you can give them. At some point you will need to bite the bullet and feed the majority of conquered provinces to yourself.
That said there are some notables who will be more willing to gain provinces even some distance away; Genoa, Venice and Ragusa. Being trade republics they don't mind province hopping or the distance if it means increased trade. I've given lands in South Africa to Genoa one game, but couldn't get them any in India no matter how hard I tried.
I tried this - France had the Ottoman - French alliance and I was stuck in perpetual debt. Stuck with a troop stack of 24 at 1480, permanently losing up to 9 ducats per month. Fuck man it was pain.
If you struggle with reining in Italy, put your diplomats on improving with the Italian nations a couple years before the shadow kingdom triggers. That way, they’ll all be very close +150 relations already and it should be really easy.
i just allied everyone i was not at war with while conquering venice mainland and dissolved alliances after the decision.
More 2 hours episodes please xD
1:20:40 You could've used the cleansing of heresy cb back then already against lubeck.
1:41:30 Also, to avoid that bit of AE and stab hit just get a cb an neighbouring allies like dauphine or lorraine. Same goes for Frankfurt, there you could've even saved the authority for revoking the free city. I'd expect more of a guide tbh.
i love this style of video
Can you continue the playthrough in a second video? Doesn't necessarily have to be in a guide format I am just curious to see how the rest of the game plays out. Great video!
I suddenly started to have headaches at the reformation
I'll def get this DLC when it goes on sale, I spent all my money on Vic3 Grand Edition 😔
When I request my relative as an heir the country I do it to always eventually replaces them.
I’m totally gonna watch the full vid
Wish you showed off more of the new stuff like gov't reforms and alt mission trees, but I get you're angling for a guide here. Thanks anyway
2 hours??? Time to get some snacks and dive right in!
Great content!
Hi red hawk thanks for your new guide. I’m a 200h new player and tried Austria in 1.36 in which I got 9 reforms in 1515 and eventually got all the corresponding achievements(including conquer the world). When I saw the log before I thought it won’t be powerful cuz for example PU Poland will be more difficult. But it seems like it’s still strong. I was wondering what the other reform path(split rights path）feels like and I’m going to try in this new dlc.
Would really really love it , for when content creators publish guides and they have a certain requirement, such as allying and royal marry Burgundy , please state it at the beginning of the video and not 7.5 minutes into the video so we wont have to restart the game and follow instructions all over again.
Other than that , very good video as always and love your content.
Two world conquests, truly spoiling us
Here’s a drinking game: Take a shot every time Hawk says “Obviously”. It’s double digits, and probably into the 20’s tbh. I lost count.
I spent the excess Imperial Authority on placating the Italians before passing my first reform, made the shadow kingdom a piece of cake
Nothing is going right. Bohemia gets 4 allies, Venice allies Castille, Burgundy rivals me and Hungary doesn't take Ladislaus. Sometimes the Pope even hates me.
Aragon PUd Castile in my game. Everything went good, but that makes me wanna restart. Can I turn that around?
