Which strategy should I use as Syria to become a great power next time? Leave a comment here. Check out more Releasables here: ua-cam.com/play/PLsO8A6cTBggvdKKNSIt3lES1mSDe8quI-.html
IIRC the Mamluks have the biggest army in the game besides Austria and Ming, so you might have a hard time but I think you can get lucky with Ajam and the Ottomans (temporarily)
Not sure how difficult it would be. Could you try a "mission tree only challenge" where you play as countries with unique mission trees and try to complete them?
The chairman is also a really fun person to watch. His Venice missions only run was pretty entertaining, I've never played Venice that way, I always end up conquering more than I expect
@jamesmullins435 or for France 1 quarter. France has the appanages plus a free PU on Milan. Hit the increased levies and in 1444 you have almost as much manpower as Austria
19:40 Meanwhile in 2023, sometime in the distant future of this timeline: Grandmaster Eerikki LXVI Poopenweeden of Estonia. As always, a fun video, Hawk!
As an Estonian who mastered Estonia in EU4 I am really happy to see some representation. Still salty we didn't get a mission tree during big Baltic update, at least a regional one would be cool.
21:45 quick trivia now... Despite being a Monastic Order, the Teutonic Order/Ducal Prussia were the first polity to declare Protestantism as the state religion The last Grandmaster of the Order, Albrecht von Hohenzollern-Ansbach, abolished the Prussian branch of the Order and signed the 1525 Treaty of Krakow with the Polish crown, finally acknowledging it as the overlord over the newly formed Duchy of Prussia, with him as the Protestant duke. The Knights continued to exist, but not as a territorial entity, instead owning land inside the territories of other polities.
@@НилИванов-ж1цProbably the same thing as English knights; kinda just existing as an exclusive club and not really doing anything of consequence outside of what they'd already be doing otherwise.
The teutonic order still exists today. They are some kind of ambulant nursing service. Kinda funny to see their cars with the black cross logo and "Deutscher Orden" label as essentially their company logo.
For Syria, I assume you get ottoman to support independence and then rapidly go towards AQ etc and try to keep the alliance with ottoman until they start desiring your provinces
@@GwainSagaFanChannel Finland obviously has a place in the Nordics because they were a part of Sweden for 500 years. Sweden as the boss of the Nordics gets to decide that 😎
@@GwainSagaFanChannel Finland has strong ties into Scandinavia through Christianity (even stronger than Estonia due to shared religious branch of Lutheranism) and has been colonized by the Swedes in the past.
@@whitegoose2017irony is that same applies to estonia- it was also part of sweden empire for some time and mostly influenced by lutherian church. Primary influence for estonia was hansa trade leage, which brought germanic cultural influence.
Mandatory "Estonia Mentioned 🦅🦅🦅" Also very culturally accurate playthrough. Make most of what you have and don't give a care of religion. Bonus points for deleting Orders , that brought unwanted religion into region. :) Edit: We don't talk about OPM TO, that wasn't annexed by Poland..
26:42 I sometimes use A to Z and Releasables as guides or at least inspiration for my own campaigns. There are not many guides out there for the hard nations and especially not on newer versions. I really like these series as they show many small nations which you don´t see that often.
I was playing a teutons game last night and poland/Lithuania allied Muscovy right out of the gate. Like I am so tired of the player hate. I like that Vic 3 has it as an option.
20:20 I had that last game with Sweden, broke free got stronk fast bc i had a few great rulers and advisor events and steam rolled Austria who got everything except burgundy over and over again.. I even got the AI to form the LPC by buddying up with lithuania after poland chose the local noble.
Just had the most blessed run as Trier into Westphalia, I've kinda lost steam now because I've formed the nation and it's kinda just scooping up the provinces I have claims to, but I had a really easy time eating up northern Germany and even managed to pull off Faceting.
Funny. Was playing Burgundy last night and randomly got Sweden as a PU without even the same dynasty. Guess Paradox had to give you the bad luck so I could get the good luck.
Syria's ideas are more trade ideas, but it can easily become independent, then you have to fight the Ottomans they want your land... maybe unify the levant culture group as a goal
Conquer the provinces the Neo-Assyrian Empire had (Levant + Masriqi region), bonus idea: convert to coptic or orthodox (around 2 million Assyriac christians live/lived in Northern Iraq)
in the war with danzig, you could have waited til the end of december, then take all the provinces and after the month tick, only 2 nations would have had 50+ ae to you, so no coalition could have been formed :( missed opportunity imo
The AI definitely does some fucky stuff. I’m playing as Ulm for the first time ever, wanting to do the whole vassal fort meme, and I’m ready to fight Inglostat (or however it’s spelled) and I’m like “I know for a fact that without calling my big allies, I can destroy Landshut”, who usually gets Inglostat as a junior partner. I look at Inglostat and it said: “Personal Union under Denmark.” Like, bruh, when does Denmark get anyone beyond Norway and Sweden? Thankfully, I allied Austria and Poland (no Lithuania, sadly), and Denmark only allied the Teutons so it wasn’t a big deal, but still.
Denmark starts with the same Dynasty as the Bavarian tags (Von Wittelsbach), so if one of them dies without an heir it can be quite common for Denmark to get a Union.
Why do you worry about orthodox AE, there's no nations to worry about and no neighbours of other religions will get upset cus they're all your allies i dont get it i'd take all i could there tbh.

As Syria, conquer all anatolia and convert all provinces to Syrian culture group . This is the most ironic campaign you can 😁
It would be could to become the 5 seas empire by getting ports into the mediterranean, red, black, the persian gulf and the caspian
colonize
As Syria form prussia

Depending on the country, half way through you will just be steam rolling.
The chairman already does that. I don’t know if he’d step on someone’s toes like that.
The chairman is also a really fun person to watch. His Venice missions only run was pretty entertaining, I've never played Venice that way, I always end up conquering more than I expect
These kind of series are too fun not to play, regardless of what other EU4 content creators have or haven't done!

Hawk: "wow being stuck between great powers is actually kinda fun"
Wheel: "Bet"
I can't believe PDX didn't add missions tree for Estonia with Lions of the North DLC. When clearly Estonia is one of the Nordic nations.
And turkey is a part of EU

Mida sa teed kui peale Livonian Orderi anneximist sa ei saa ühtegi suurt liitlast ning Taani/Muscovy ründavad ?

German order continues to exist now. Not sure what they're up to though.

Many of these monastic orders function as charitable organizations nowadays
@@AGrumpyPanda not sure about that. English knights are just a social club, yeah, but German order is a Catholic religious organization.

This was the craziest game for absolutely no reason
19:45 France also had that glitch in real history, it was patched in the update 1.79.2 Revolution.
It's crazy how rich you can get from the Baltic node
Definitely very underrated trade node.
Probably all of the Fur provinces in the area or that flow into it.
Plenty of teutonic games have taught me this node is great
For Syria, I assume you get ottoman to support independence and then rapidly go towards AQ etc and try to keep the alliance with ottoman until they start desiring your provinces
For an extra challenge, play Syria popping out of QQ and have to make the Mamluks and QQ not exist.
As a spiritual estonian, glad to the video about this country 🥴
I've never been much of a youtube watcher but I've been watching your channel for the last few months and I love the videos. Keep up the great work! 👍
this is the first time as an estonian hearing estonia is amazing
I guess we will see if Estonia can into Nordics
If Finland can into Nordics while not being similar culture and language wise to its Scandinavian brethern why cannot Finland's sibling Estonia.

Poland not taking the PU is actually not that uncommon now. Feels like it happens every 5 maybe 7 games
Well as im from Estonia then i just have to like and comment :)
In my Livonian Order game, Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, and Muscovy all formed an alliance bloc against me
12:05 RIP Hawk's army professionalism
“Oh no…” - hawk seeing “estonia” last time
In my current portugal game sweden also got burgundy lmao, but it's rather useful since i'm going for All Blue
Just a nice and smooth campaign without pain. I didn´t expect it for Estonia.
Someone over here suggested doing a mission tree only series where you complete unique mission trees. I would be all for that.
10:17 I saw this exactly once and it was when I played Sweden myself.
ESTONIA MENTIONED RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I really hope someone makes an Estonian mission tree mod
Estonia seems like a real peach of a country.
I have been waiting for this for months

20:38 Look at this Albania!
As an Estonian - still irrationally salty that we didnt get a mission tree
Goddamn that is a magnificant moustache.
I dont know if its just me but when sweden get independent very early in the game I noticed that they usually get burgundy et often the horse event
I was playing a teutons game last night and poland/Lithuania allied Muscovy right out of the gate. Like I am so tired of the player hate. I like that Vic 3 has it as an option.
Suur-Eesti borders on the thumbnail...based

I'd love to see the Florry classic defensive humanist in Releasables
Poor Sweden falling apart at the end there.
Funny. Was playing Burgundy last night and randomly got Sweden as a PU without even the same dynasty. Guess Paradox had to give you the bad luck so I could get the good luck.
it would be nice to see you continue this one lol
I played Sweden and Denmark allied Muscovy (Russia later) for the whole game,,, it was annoying but I got Canada and a bit of USA
made a releasable look stronger than when I play a great power ...
John Paradox would be proud
Hawk, any thoughts on some stellaris content? Seems to be in the algorithm lately
Whenever I take any of the Teuton lands, Poland always becomes hostile and breaks their alliance with me. So idk how you got a different outcome
Great Job man. As Syria I think you should convert to Orthodox and unite 3 middle eastern patriarchates, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria
Syria's ideas are more trade ideas, but it can easily become independent, then you have to fight the Ottomans they want your land... maybe unify the levant culture group as a goal
estonia mentioned raaaah
Conquer the provinces the Neo-Assyrian Empire had (Levant + Masriqi region), bonus idea: convert to coptic or orthodox (around 2 million Assyriac christians live/lived in Northern Iraq)
Love u RedHawk
well, playing as Estonia, you just have to go east...😀Some historical justice feels good😀

Estonia can into HRE.
Honestly, you can just rest assured that your Syria will end up in better condition than today's Syria.
as syria, reform rum, and have your capital in Rome
I don't care, I'm still convinced the dude who plays on screen isn't Red Hawk and is just a friend with Red Hawk dubbing everything he says

Transfering trade power. Riga is trade focused nation, due to high development, level 2 center of trade, estuary and trade focused national ideas.
