- Hello and welcome to Let's Play Europa Universalis III Divine Wind with your host, Shenryyr! I am Irish but apparently cannot find Cork on a map. You'll have to forgive my horrible geography here.
In any case, this campaign begins with our Kingdom's humble beginnings as a lesser state in the poorest part of Europe. The first goal is to form Ireland, by conquering the neighboring small Irish states. For some reason the AI does not do much diplomacy with them- Brittany sometimes guarantees the independence of one or two, but beyond that Europe just leaves them alone. This makes them easy pickings!
England gets in over their head by going to war with France, Burgundy, and Scotland all at the same time, and we take this opportunity to invade. When all is said and done, we capture the final piece to form Ireland, and even some of Britain itself.

I dont know if you still read the comments on this but I remember watching this a year or so after you made it, when I was just getting into paradox games. This was so awesome to me at the time :)
Same! This was my first exposure to Paradox games. Been enjoying Victoria 3 :)
Its amazing coming back and watching these old lets plays, With such horrible audio :P
@tomlouet The uploads take about 2 hours typically. I just let it upload while recording new episodes. Glad you enjoyed the LP :)
This is one of the main reasons I love Europa Universalis, it never fails to surprise me.
EU3 was a gem of a thing. Proto-avaricious stage in PI's development although the unit packs were starting to creep in, but at a sensible-ish price. The superior soundtrack was worth the Collectors' Ed alone.
I like how you made the politics of the game come alive during the commentary; very enjoyable.
right click the pop-up window and it will display a short list of options, including pop-up-and-pause. you can set this for various other message types as well by going to the main menu(just hit ESC) -> message options
omg you're voice! I was just searching for some eu3 videos and then I found out this was you playing :P
Creeper Games Whoops...
That can all be changed in the options, definitely look into getting the game man it's pure awesome
"If he can sack York...... he can sack all of England!"
great start, this is one of those lucky situations where you cut a good slice of england. very fun to watch. long live Ireland.
This'll be interesting!! I'll take notes.
4:17 "Auto-Pilot Docking" - my Gallente hat's off to you, sir :)
Yeah, I'm slowly starting to get a hang of it :) Thanks for the answer :)
I like that you keep the games audio high in this video.
Man I have to say, I love your commentary. :-)
love the EVE sounds in the background. :D
Good stuff. You know you can edit it so that all of the the events that don't concern your country don't pop up. I find it speeds the game up and you dont have to be irritated by a bunch of non consequential popups. I find it makes the game much more enjoyable to do that and utilize all of the Mapmodes for information. I tend to use the Diplomatic Mapmode most frequently.
@OFASG1 only seen it a couple times, its always a welcome surprise.
love the eve online autopilot in the background
@NewVanguard I can't play without them! Too scatterbrained to remember what was going on 5 seconds ago, the messages really assist my poor brain.
OK, I cracked right the hell up when you said "and, we're Catholic!" at the beginning.
Reverse time. Put this man in charge. This is how the Irish nation should have been run.
An Irishman approves of this video. :)
EVE online in background. Playing eve like a BOSS, afking!
you sir, deserve a thumbs up
@ShadowFenrir2 Ah, yea, wikipedia is my friend and all that jazz. Good to know! If you've played as scotland, what does that specific mission tell them to do?
congratz. You almost stayed with something small!
Ah, yes. We should all devote hours upon hours learning the tiniest minutiae of the landscapes of places we'll probably never go to. That's a valuable use of a lifetime that's never long enough anyway.
@gman8744 I don't think so, I remember being able to do that in one of the HTTT patches
This game was sick 💪😎
@acksawblack I know right? Only born there, grew up in USA haven't been back in many years
You've certainly done well starting off. The Irish minors have got to be the hardest European nations to start off with since none of them have any decent economy.
All of the Paradox GSGs are pretty similar in gameplay, with some different focuses. The Victoria series focuses on economic development and industrialization, the Crusader Kings series focuses on dynasty management and politics (and spreading your seed), and the Hearts of Iron series goes really in depth into warfare (just go with the latest of each series. 2, 2, 3 respectively).
CK2 is really good for beginners to Grand Strategy games, as is EU3.
I like how you're playing eve in the background lol
Nicely done. Played the oppertunist, got a few lucky breaks. A few tips though. I wouldn't worry about losing money in december, only if you lose it the next year. Also, when declaring war you can call your allies individually, thus you would not lose your alliance with portugal. Finally, when moving across the sea, you could have just docked your ship in the english ports that Scotland occupied. Your troops would land at the province. This is if you secured military access from Scotland.
HOI2 and EU3 Divine wind are my two most favorite strategy games. HOI2 is amazing when wanting a game that almost purely focuses on war and research. loved it
EU3 gives you more options. for one, you dont really have that much choice which military units you have, BUT in terms of diplomacy, discovering and ways of playing, it can be more fun. HOI2 has everytime (almost) the same big nations. in EU3 its guranteed to be a different experience EVERYTIME. just saw a huge croatia for the first time
Alliance is less likely and means you have to in wars or they will hate you and also get a casus beli if you dishonor their call. Plus I believe that you can only get 2 or 3 alliances with countries that aren't your vassal. As for the %, the top right corner has an icon there. Click it and it shows you a bunch of statistics (how many days until building/recruiting is done,your armies,etc.)one of these is the siege progression. Basically gives you an idea how soon the city will surrender,I think
lol "cus I am Irish". Yet failed to pronounce a single province correctly lol great video though.
I'm watching this, and all I can think: "So how about that slider move?"
gotta love the almighty save-load tactic! XD
When you're sleepy and about to pass out while watching this episode, and then you are alert thinking God's voice is what you're hearing. That's what's happening to me watching this episode.
Yes, you are right, divine wind is not the latest expansion for this game, thanks for suggestion :)
love this game. one question tho. what are those 3 percentage values after the casus belli do?(infamy prestige and cost)
Lol, rebels fighting rebels that hilarious. Didn't realize that could happen.
@nirvana2297 At the time potatoes where still in Peru plus as i am from Northern Ireland i know that the area around county Dublin is quite good for growing grains.
Thanks a ton, I figured out how to do it right after I asked haha.
Fun LP and you have a great voice, but good god those messages drive me crazy. You can right click on them to disable the messages that dont really concern you and you can also use spacebar to start and stop the time. ;)
I united Ireland in a game once, but didn't last long. Claiming meath happened by sheer dumb luck; connaucht nationalists retreated from my army into Meath, and england was busy fighting France and Castille. It became Connaucht, and I instantly declared war to annex. If I had planned that, it would have been brilliant.
Hi man, I will start playing this game these days. Just a few questions - how many provinces this huge map have and how many countries?
Thanks in advance & great let's play!
@pkayerownspom most of the games i've played, the opposite happens. Great Britain forms by English vassalization/annexation of Scotland and Wales in 90% of my games
That mic hahahaha
When France gets in war with England and then Scotland gets in war to after some time they get a message "Highlanders are here" which means you get 12 regiments in Highland. I was playing as Scotland and conquer Orkney first then I went in war with England and I got 2 those messages one for Orkney and one for Highlands. It always happens when you are in long war. That is the reason why they are so powerful. I think that is a good event.
this game looks epic
@shenryyr2 in my games usually scotland, france and denmark annex most of englands regions.
Watching the video's and loving them. But have a question. Why send military access as opposed to alliance, and when you were sieging Connaught I keep hearing you say 10% 25% in a year. What does that mean and wher do you see the % from? I am new to game so sorry for noob questions. Thanks...
@ivantheterrible60 .... thats what she said
@breadbun99 About 3 hours when it works, but usually it fails to upload and then you have to start from scratch. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days to upload one video simply due to youtube failures :\
@fireskin0 It got boring for me to watch when editing it, there weren't any more armies to destroy, the only thing that happened was slowly capturing territories and waiting for infamy to go down.. didn't think anyone would want to watch that!
@galaruler68 The ships need to be adjacent to the province you're moving your land units from. Keep in mind you can only carry the same number of troops as the number of ships you have.
@matthewaringarza111 thats what she said
I ended up funding patriots while playing as Leinster for the lols. Then they they took and gave me everything on the island (even the English holding, eventually) along with an awesome general.
Really enjoyed your irish campaign!
i've put thumbs up on several episodes
Also i'm trying to adjust the quality of my videos to your standarts
which are pretty good. I started a french campaign, but i'm having trouble
uniting the movie files into 1 hour chunks like you do. The upload time is
just unbearable. Do you have a uber-fast internet or are you very patient?
Cheers from Brazil. Very nice LP 5/5
"I'll put him on a horsie"
Good Vid
I wonder, when you're crossing to England, is it worth putting a ship in one of the sea areas and then your main cogs in the next sea area and use those for the crossing... so that when England's fleet attacks you it has to go through a war with the first ship before it can get to your main crossing fleet? I hope that makes sense.
Another thing, I found that docking fleets with troops into the port instantly offloads all troops and that seems to be quicker than having the troops walk to the land from the ship. I think.
My status - I have played this as Sicily and I think I am in year 1506, something like that. I didn't know a lot of things because the documentation for this game is almost non-existent. For anyone new to the game I strongly recommend using your first game as a tester. Save, try something, play on full speed, see how it works, then resign and reload. The point is to test the game mechanics as quickly as possible without having to spend hundreds of hours guessing.
I like challenges :)
In one hour all Europe, America and Africa is mine and I have total controll about that and revolts hahahaha
Shen Sei, OP!
Agreed!
I have played Hearts of Iron II and III(just a bit so far),as well as Europe Unirvesalis I/II/III already. Any other good strategy games like that? They don't have to be the same way,but I like it when you have to manage aspects of economy,military and such like in these games or total war .series . I also like Anno game series
Don't worry, I stumbled around for quite a while before getting the hang of this game. My best suggestion would be to look up a few basic tutorials (whether video or other format) and then just try playing one of the easier nations such as England, Spain, or France.
If you fail, just keep trying. Also, watching a few LP's by more experienced players can teach you new tricks and strategies that you can try out for yourself.
@gman8744 you can annex ANY nation as long as all the provinces your enemies own aren't worth more than 100 warscore. for example i can usually annex Ottomans as Byzantium.
What settings do you use because when i downloaded it doesnt look like in youtube can you plz say settings
>Accidentally accepting the peace deal
@MarxistLenin93 don't think so, but it does eat a lot of memory
@LawnickiProduction I've seen Lithuania taking over all of the territory of the Golden Horde while I was playing as the Manchu, imagine my surprise to suddenly have a European neighbour.
Hello Guys! i am thinking about playing this game but im confused, i dont know how it is..i mean i like those kind of games but i played Hearts of Iron 3 which looks really like that but it was too confusing for me...is this game easier to understand and still good to play?
good shit man, good shit :u
What does the game mean by "lucky nations"? Does it mean that some nations will survive only because they had or have luck?
How did you get your game to pause when you got a pop up notification?
I feel like the primitive nature is where all the appeal comes from. It's a very basic yet effective bare-bones political simulator. It's not fun to play while high though. Other than that, 10/10 :D
if somebody has access to your country and attacks you their stability suffers a lot. give access is a easy and cheap way to defend yourself when you're small.
is that eve online i can hear going on as well?
Yeah, I'm taking my words back, first it looks very complex, then it looks primitive unless you getting the hang of it :)
There are circumstances in where you need certain things for an easy take over of another country. Rarely does invading your neighbours mean the easiest way to becoming more powerful, but sometimes you can get lucky. Prey on weak countries, countries already at war with large nations, and act like a vulture. Give the game patience, but I know it can be extremely frustrating. Some of it can appear to be outright bullshit, but this game can be very enjoyable
that would be EVE my friend
Do you need Divine Wind to annex nations with more than 1 province?
thats it, im subscribing
@Bones31313 how do you use them?
i'm a hearts of iron 3 fan, and it's probably going to be confusing for me when i get this haha, that's the same way when i tried victoria 2
Hey young shen!
Out of curiosity, why don't you use magistrates, for example to order paintings and get some good advisors?
maybe those 8 people were all hulks or something
Good stuff. By why not just press Space to unpause/pause?
i am fairly new as well but militairy access is much easier to get from other countries
Wow, how can you keep clicking on the top the whole time just to pause the game, wasn't spacebar available to pause the game back then?
Your playing eve omg!
i noticed in yourr video at 4 minutes something i hear WARPING TO STARGATE, whats your eve character name :)
i like how your mic echos keep it like that please
So annoying when Americans claim to be Irish. Your nationality is American and your ethnicity is Irish-American
It is the most annoying thing in the world :D People in America ask you where you are from and you tell them Ireland and they all say they are Irish haha
America is mostly a country of immigrants which everyone except natives is so here when you say that you talk about your heritage.
Louis Roberts actually Irish IS a nationality. Nothing about Irish people is an ethnicity. Caucasian is an ethnicity, so annoying when Irish people say they're Irish rather than that they are Caucasian from the Irish island. How can you say that Irish is an ethnicity, but then say Americans can't "be Irish?" Ethnicity is your actual genetics, nationality is where you are born. And no, Americans who have ancestors from Ireland are not Irish-American, at all. They are not American is terms of ethnicity because their ancestors are not from America, as in they are not Native Americans. Before you call people out, get your shit together.
