I don't think I've ever seen an EU4 game where the Ottomans don't exist. Hell, I think Drew did a video years ago with them not on the map, but they popped out from rebels and ended up dominating the game still.
During my 7000 hours in this game, I have only seen a couple of games where AI (more often PLC + Albania) take Constantinople and all the Balkans, but they do not go to Anatolia. The ottomans are immortal lol
It feels like Paradox have generally improved the AI a lot - they keep doing these competent things, like forming Mughals and having a good Manchu game. Getting rid of the natives balances the game so much better, that's the big downside of this patch, hope they solve it soon! Keep up the good videos!!!
I do expect Byzantium to expand much more to the east than the ottomans usually do, because byzantium is less likely to ally some sunni nation and blocking it's expansion path
If the Ottomans didn't exist, some random peasant would sole handedly have knocked over East Rome, all their misfortunes was the result of their own badness.
If they were so bad, how did they survive for almost a thousand years? Sure some of the fall was their fault, like the ang#loi, or romanos the 4th. Until the 13th century byzantium had a huge amount of power soft power with the Orthodox countries and hard power with their top of the line army and a great navy
@@grenadaball7655 I''m not Turkish? Basil the first was a peasant., The East Roman Empire was super unstable, and Constantinople even had farms inside it at the end because they didn't have room to have them outside. They had constant civil wars. It wasn't the Rome that was 1000 years ago before its end, their government structure was completely different.
You mentioned it briefly in the video but paradox really needs to fix or nerf new world nations. Leviathen and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
This isn't a Leviathan issue per say. It was fixed in 1.32 and they tweaked some numbers in 1.33 that broke it again. The mechanics are fine, it's how quickly they happen with AI that makes it annoying af
@@Chewbert yeah agree actually. I remember origins patch addressing a lot of concerns and being pretty decent, but now natives are stupid OP again and there plainly are just too many tags at game start to have fun anymore, it takes me a few hours to get to 1449.
Great video, finally no OttoBlob! Byzblob > Ottoblob 😂 Since Spain always ends up being a powerful nation, I'd really like to see a video where Iberia starts united under an Iberian nation, probably would be capable of owning the entire new world 😂
Byzantium stronk?

hahah I can only imagine
Ottomans don't want to die.
Local Turk too mad to die

>Spain is number 1 with _1492_ score
I hate eu4 Spain but that is unfathomably based.
My Reconquista is augmented.
ROMAN - RUSSIAN PERSONAL UNION
MOST BLESSED THING IN EU4 YET
Doing a Byz to Rome run rn and this stuff is really satisfying to watch after restarting about 15 times
My strategy consists of taking over tripoli and simping for the ottomans

Yes I agree, I just wish they behaved better when coordinating in war, that’s my main gripe. And that they cheat with forts 😂
@@Chewbert hey if you ever do Hoi4 or Vic 2 you should do them with mods as that allows for crazier stuff to happen.
@@Chewbert The latest update might actually fix the issue with the native federations *gasp!
Always nice to see big tags formed by AI
Agreed!
@@Chewbert it used to be byzantium wouldn't conquer bc if ai issues bc it wasn't supposed to win so any special thing you did or dlc i missed
I often fantasize about the Ottomans not existing....
Me too, me too man
Average balkan population
That's racist
@@thephoenixking3242 Cool did I ask?
@@valiatus6719 i am offended
I can already tell this is the good timeline, with the Roman Empire surviving and all
I am Turk and Im cool with it. I love these kind of videos.

@@kekkoinen What I wrote here isnűt rly profound or controversial. The civil Wars of the empire was its biggest undoing.
Yea..... Sure, the empire that survived thousands of years would be knocked down by 1 angry peasant smartest turk:

1204 was definitely not their fault, to be fair.
no ottomans ? what a blessed timeline
Very cool video Chewy. Always good to see Byzantium be stronk
It sure is!
Liked it! More interesting timelapses, please!
All is as it should be
Instead of the Hagia Sophia becoming a Mosque, Mecca became an Orthodox Church.
Odd to see reformed survive but protestant not. They gotta buff that iconoclastic predestinating fury
The initial border of Byzantium looks like the one in 11th century-1025AD
I said that
No Ottomans and an empowered Byzantium? Based
balls? heart?
from far away, it looks like a drumstick
Mughals in India ended with heartbreak
Mughals in China is my new friend
that green sea tile looks great
I love this kind of videos but please start showing the culture map mode aswell.
Chewbert the type of guy to culture convert Anatolia
Dude i watch every video of your and never get bored of it. Keep it up!
Glad you like them!

Mayby video about Tengri, Great Mongol State Poland - plus some governing capacity. Question how much they will conquer?
>chewy
>Byzantium
O.K. Corral 🤌
Man, that was good Ai
I really loved this video. Great work.
It would be very interesting to see the continuation of this in Victoria and HoI
yo man I love your vids whats the background music at 8:08
I swear a Russian PU happens everytime I play Byz.
I got it as Theodoro one time and I was so happy
Interesting ideas like always
Thank you! Cheers!
Please make a video about what if germany existed.
What Kairser_Johan could've done if all other players didn't gang up on him
The byzantines wouldn't have those borders unless rum hadn't had existed or the Mongols didn't push past persia
Nah they would, it’s okay
8:30 Whats that Music?

idk if u are aware if this command in the console, "assimilate"
it changes core, culture and religion of a province of your choice
Yeah, run files are easier imo
Maybe do russian empire historical borders in 1444
I like the idea!
0:28 did you ment 11th century?
Yeah, whatever 😂
Go Ottomans
Great video
You should’ve just integrated ottomans to Byz.
Quite frankly anyone who borders anatolia is upset with turkey owning parts of it and want their own part to so its not new
9:03
The K'iche' (Kiche) actually are more a Guatemalan nation, than a Mexican nation.
Byzantine>Ottoman
Giant Byzantium +100PP
Hey man, what’s the visual mod you use for the map? Thanks 😄
It's called Imperial Graphics!
@@Chewbert thanks man
Holy byzantium
Holland and Netherlands at the same time omg
Dutchception
i like the killed venice
How do u disable the new world federations and natives
I just made a mod for that today, check the workshop for “remove natives”
@@Chewbert ❤️ I’ll have to check it out also love the drew durnil content really living up to the genre I’m now subscribed.
Glad to have you, thanks!
Hey Chewy! Is there a quick mod that removes the native from the new world?
It’s a script that I wrote, I could probably make it into a mod for those interested
Your video are very good.
Glad you like them!
This would be a great game to convert into vicky 2
What script are you using to remove natives?
It's pretty simple, I'll make a mod for the workshop
@@Chewbert thanks
@@Chewbert hey have you made that mod for the workshop yet? if you did I couldn't find it
Im a Turk and I'm punching the wall rn
least clinically insane turk
does anyone know what map mod he is using?
It's the new graphics mod on the workshop called Imperial Graphics
What have you done...... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!😭
I am Turk and no problem its just a game
My man
No, bring back the natives it makes the game more balanced.
Can you somehow make the New World natives do stuff? I love when a random OPM from Mexico or South America pops off and beats back the Euros.
As a turk, it is tooooooo serious.... just kidding
💪
ve ry based
if you buff byzantium you need to buff ottomans more as a turk i want that from you 👿
Mf the ottomans start with all the bonuses on earth and way too op missions tf you want him to do give an extra 35% discipline?
ottomans is not as strong as byzantium in this video yea i want to ottomans be a terminator
Sucks he deletes natives.
