I should try that. So far I've only played as Mongolia and it's really fun. You do start off with a permanent everyone hates you penalty (Because you know, you conquered them before).
My first wc was qing, emperor of china mechanics are underrated imo... You get whole of china cored, stated, with 0 autonomy for free within first few decades, and you get gov cap to do so. Decreased estates influence is strong, if you manage the mandate you basically get tons of modifiers the whole game, confucian religion is underrated too, you basically have no problem with religion and you don't have to take religious ideas, qing has some of the best ideas in the game
Oh my god I loved this campaign!!! Fars > Persia was absolute loads of fun plus also I admired the slightly pinker beauty that is the Fars color. Also split Russia in half in the Urals lol. 10/10 would recommend
@@sokyu7723 I started with Ajam, but the actual way should be Adabil -> Persia, there's an achievement for that. But i think it's the easiest with Ajam
I recently did a zoroastrian playthrough that would defeat my Prussian build (tested with equal dice rolls). However it does lose against my strongst cav build I've used at that point, which in turn gets defeated by my Prussian army. So there is a rock-paper-scissors thing going on (which I can explain) What I did for my zoroatrian build: start as Castille, form andalusia (gotta be muslim for this), then religion swap to zoroastrian. I got that Persian province around 1460-1470. Then become some form of religious state so that you can get divine ideas. With this you stack 3 fire damage received modifiers (4 if you include drilled armies). This way you'll win every trade except against shock focus builds. Now bussy with making a zoroastrian horde that has divine ideas :D
9:21 The strangest Burgundian inheritance that I’ve ever seen was when Holland lost to pretender rebels, then allied and married Burgundy, and instantly got the event and become scarier than France while I was stuck as Finland.
The no religion thing happens when a nation is released, because rulers and their religions are set after the month tick. However, there is an event where if the state religion and the religion of the ruler is different, the state religion can change. So if the event somehow fires before the month tick, the AI can choose to change their state religion to no religion. Looks like this happened in this game.
I feel like playing one of the Japanese daimyo's is always fun, picking something like Oda is what I usually do. But any african nation, mostly Mali, Songhai, Ethiopia or Zimbabwe are also something I thoroughly enjoy! Currently playing as Tunisia which is also technically outside of europe, really good fun that as well.
The province of Darien in Panama is where you cannot cross between then continents. Its just a jungle, there are narcos there, however, and people are known to cross that place sometimes.... Crazy people.
I recently finished a Sunda -> Banten run! felt extremely good to annex all of india and china in like 5 wars and spent pennies to core them, Banten's ideas are a contender for some of the best in the entire game
16:00 that argument about not north or south america does not stand because europe and asia are very much glued to one another and as a catalan myself I love that culture map of iberia
No, it 100% stands. Idk what it is with Europeans not understanding that literally EVERYONE in the America's considers North and South two distinct continents, but it's the truth. The same way most consider Africa, Asia and Europe distinct continents despite being connected by land. At the end of the day it's just ignorance but the comments "correcting" me are particularly annoying when they're wrong lol
I really enjoy doing Choctaw > Creek Federation runs. Easily one of the most powerful native federations and makes use of a mechanic you don’t get to use elsewhere.
Personally any middle power in Africa (Granted you have the origins DLC) is very fun to play with tons of flavor and just an overall fresh take to the Europe based game.
Outside of Europe i would say Malacca, playing in SEA adds a lot more meaning to naval combat and the area is also drowning in trade ducats. Jianzhou/Ayutthaya/Korea/Oda are pretty fun as well.
It's called the Derien Gap in southern Panama/Northern Columbia. It is technically walkable (some refugees brave the venture), but is extremely difficult dense jungle terrain and plagued with cartels and there are no roads so it is often a deadly journey.
Yeah, this area basically does divide the Americas into North and South sides. It's clear to anyone with a lick of regional geographic knowledge that America is not a single continent.
Sambas into Lanfang is a fantastically fun campaign. All that trade value in Malacca so you can use your Hakka culture to reconquer all of China is delicious.
Of the multiplayer games I've had with my friend, we did a game I think as Viti Levu and either Waitaha or Ngaiphui. Very fun despite such a small and remote start.
I haven't played EU4 for a while but it seems like the AI is now fantastically blobtastic compared to before. This was probably one of the most insane timelapses on this channel compared to the relatively "normal" weird things happening. Didn't expect buffing the pope would change things so much, but maybe it's also the somewhat recent AI reworks at play. Also, was Ethiopia allied to the Pope and/or with Portugal? Since there is a mission that allies Ethiopia with Portugal but Ethiopia rarely goes that hard under AI control.
i had some really good games in soth east asia..all this amazing trade goods and eventually overlordship over the mallaca trade node and maybe sneaking into bengal. thank u for the content chew!
Outside of Europe , most fun I had in a campaign was doing Cotton Kandy and the Buddhists Strike Back with Kandy. You're in a vassalage , a fun independent wars and a couple of very fun wars in the Southern Region meanwhile spreading the word of Buddha back across the Indian subcontinent. I think Mewar is also nice. I generally like the Indian Subcontinent I guess.
Starting as a Japanese daimyo and forming Japan and then following the mission tree has been fun, also Ethiopia (when you get lucky and the Memelukes focus on Arabia first lol)
Ethiopia is a fun nation outside of europe. You are quite strong, but so are the Mamluks and Ottomans. Interesting start with the ever increasing autonomy. Very interesting mission tree also. Forming Aksum is very fun to do, especially with the western units you will get.
you should super buff island nations, as well as put all the wonders for each continent in a different city, so europe in rome (this was one of the most interesting games), middle eastern wonders in cairo, african wonders in dahomey or benin, and all of east asia in beijing, then new world wonders in new york. Just a bunch of giga buffed nations fighting it out.
Brunei into Malaya was an amazing run for me: 0 manpower all the time but my economy was booming for unknown reasons, so it kicked everybodys ass with mercs
It's always bothered me so much that the Great Wall is a 1 province feature. I would just make it a small bonus along the entire line of the wall, like a biome feature
There is something special with Japan that little part of the world has such a different dynamic it's crazy so I guess that's my favorite place to play outside of Europe.
Ethiopia. It caN go through its goverment reforms very fast but you actually have to care about your autonomy and crownland becouse you have decentralized state modifier. But then it is so fun restoring coptic religion in Egypt, and pushing further.
I think the teutons declared a war after the conditional entry into HRE and Austria becomes the war leader then. The thing that amazes me its that Austria actually fully annexed them and not let them be an annoying OPM, but then you see Danzig!🙄
The no religion thing indicates a broken event, when there is an event which converts a country to a religion which does not exist, or the religion is spelt wrong in the event files, you get no religion. It's happened to me before with broken/outdated mods, but surprising that it's happening in vanilla
The natural next step is to put all monuments in Riga, that Germanic culture OPM in the Baltics surrounded by the Livonian Order. A position of that sort seems to make them look like the Baltic Byzantium, no?
If I’m not tryharding, I have the most fun with Malacca > Malaya. Mostly due to bias of being malaysian myself but having a chill maritime empire focused on colonisation of the spice islands, and maximising trade income is how i like to spend my EU4
try putting the monuments in Tyr (Nivkh), wanna see strong siberians also, fun tag outside Europe i would say is Orissa, one of the underrated indian majors
All monuments in Muisca... And maybe a cononial please for them 😋 And nice video, I still enjoying your work. Hope you have fun doing those and a nice time (also good sleep, your eye bands don't look as horrible, for a "honourable father"). 😎
I don't know what is the MOST fun in the ROTW, but some honourable mentions: Timurids -> Mughals is a good run Ibadi Kilwa is super fun Japan is fun. Pick your favourite ideas and go nuts. Blobbing in India is fun. Vijay is my personal choice. Breaking Ming and creating a day 1 thunderdome even has secret coring mechanics unique to China. I'm a big fan of islands so some shoutouts to some fun island games in no particular order: Imerina, Cebu, Majapahit, Tidore
I love the Iran/Russia area nations, you have a chaotic early game with constant expansions and little worry for AE but in the late game you have big powers like Ottomons, commonwealth and Spain, also expansion into in India and China is always nice, so therefor my favorite nations are Mughals/persia/Russia/horde nations
Outside of Europe? For me it's a tie between Timmys, Japan, and Manchu. They're all fun in their own ways. Oirat gets an honorable mention - triggering the Tumu Crisis is very satisfying. I vaguely remember No Religion being a weird bug a long, long time ago - IIRC Florry did a No Religion One Faith......because of course he did.
There was one time I think in 1.30 that a no religion burgundy existed in my game, stuck around for centuries and even converted provinces to no religion
bahmanis are the first nation i did a complete campaign with and they are a very powerful nation with a lot of areas to expand in and cores to retake, I got an eco hegemony in 1660 through the indian trade and i managed to conquer india plus persia and all south east asia by the end and i was earning like 4500 ducats through diverting all the trade to coromandel. also the formable hindustan has great military ideas
I know this is a weird pick but I'd say Mutapa to Zimbabwe if you've played the game for a while, because the crazy gold modifiers and ivory let's you just blob super fast and fun :)
Jianzhou -> Manchu -> Qing, or Timurids -> Mughals. These happen to be the only campaigns I've completed a world conquest in : ) Idea: permanent max level monuments without requirements (but without moving them anywhere)!
Idea: every state is its own country. F.e., Thrace is Byzantium, Mittelmark is Brandenburg, Prussia is split between Danzig (west) and Teutons (east), etc. If necessary, split states as equally as possible between neighbours (so that no nation gets too much development).
Personally i'd say Ming,Korea or Dai Viet. Korea is just overpowered, litterly Florence but in Asia,Ming is Big but it has the most awkward set up in the game,and overcome it is fun and unique experience. Dai Viet is Ming in reverse,Good setup but small and has a really bad disaster that can split the entire country and you only have like 50-60 years to deal with it. They are all really fun to play
I'd say putting them in Riga could be good since it's a small nation that's surrounded by giants
Talking about monuments
Personally I'd say Qing, so Jianzhou -> Manchu -> Qing. Really excited for the new Chinese stuff they're going to add
I agree
I should try that. So far I've only played as Mongolia and it's really fun. You do start off with a permanent everyone hates you penalty (Because you know, you conquered them before).
I know Oirat is better than Jhinzhou but I liked Jhinzhou much more than Oirat.

9:21
The strangest Burgundian inheritance that I’ve ever seen was when Holland lost to pretender rebels, then allied and married Burgundy, and instantly got the event and become scarier than France while I was stuck as Finland.
Kilwa into the Caliphate is one amazing run, dominating all the trade in the Indian Ocean
I did as Kaabu, the based Pink Caliphate
5:00 Qick note here: The coalition CB doesen't allow you to take land, just return cores/release nations
The weirdest Burgundian inheritance I had was Ulster (this happened twice), I was trying to unite Ireland in one of the games
I had it as Wolgast once, but Ulster is next level
Besides the others that already were mentioned, I really like the trade-game, so gujarat and Majapahit are really fun!

that last horizontal expansion of kingdom of god is very satisfyingggggggg
Seeing an Irish munster get the inheritance just to immediately integrate them is my favorite
