Ilanapo ternate is one of the easieste countries as you can always face just one equally strong enemy and not care about AE. the one Trick that is pretty good early is establishing a temporary colony once your spy network is high enough, since you can claim off of those then just abandon.

Culture swap to Sulawesi, too. For two reasons, one all of the cultures you'll be conquering are in that group, so you'll have an easier time converting and, eventually, they can become accepted once you become an empire. Two, it allows you to form Malaya for the achievement.

Bla bla bla go crusading to reclaim the lands for the glory of Christendom bla bla bla -my ear Time to try Milan

In my Milan game (no cossacks dlc) I got an alliance with France and they immediately went to war against Aragon and called me and Castile in. I basically did nothing and then when they got to like 90% war score I separate peaced out for transferring Naples to me. I had just taken the age bonus to do so. Best thing is the AE wasn't even enough to form a coalition against me and now I had almost all of southern Italy early in the game. Mopping up the rest of Italy was quite easy. Edit: It was around 1470-1480

Just finished a Milan game I started because of this video. For the first half of the game it seemed like I could never catch up, but man, once you get do finally get enough tradition to get that 6/6/6, it all just falls into place. Quality strat.

The content that you make is A++++++. Thank you so much for making in depth videos on all of this. It just makes the game so much more interesting to know every oddity that you can take advantage of. Keep it up!!!

This is great. So, I'm convinced, real excited to play, fire up a game and everything goes smoothly. I get myself access to the coast through Lucca, Albania of all countries makes Venice return Brescia to me out of the blue, France, Austria and Castile are all allied to me. Something... something seems a bit off though. That cool ambrosian republic you mentioned? Turns out I need either low legitimacy or no heir to get it. The Duke turns 60 and has a kid, which I then disinherit as soon as it gets old enough. He turns 70 and has another kid, which, again, I disinherit. What does he do when he gets to 80? You guessed it. Of course, now he finally decides to die, leaving me with a twelve year regency, since naturally his Queen Consort died just a year before. When the kid is grown at last, he immediately fucking dies in battle. I thought, cool, sweet Ambrosian nectar here I come - no heir, no duchy. Nah, but France wouldn't like that. Personal union that bitch. By the time I had fought myself out of that shitty union all by my lonesome since everybody and their mom loved France (the reason why I was able to secure an alliance with both Austria and Castile at the same time as France), it was 1520 already. I was about to declare the war with England and Poland on my side to fuck them up, when France decides it's best to leave me the fuck alone and breaks the union, leaving me with the worst ruler I've ever come across. He's completely legitimate in the eyes of the public of course, so, after living through another 30 years with that guy, making him a general, sending him into battle after battle after battle, it was 1550 and the event for Ambrosia... well, that shit won't fire after 1550. So, that's my story of playing Milan. Thanks a lot. Just kidding though, I had a lot of fun actually. Love your videos.

Man I love your videos. They are very informative, and great subject matter. I can't wait for more.

This is pretty neat. I like your video style as well, as it is well-paced and provides plenty of interesting information.

I had a similar time with the Prussian Monarchy, it seemed most of my rulers were near perfect, since 99% of them had 6 mil and whenever I had one with less than 3 in either of the remaining stats, I'd just disinherit them. Gonna try Copt Milan next, great video.

This has inspired me to start a new Milan play-through today! I would love more nation spotlight videos in the future.

I've seen a lot of eu4 videos on yt so far, mostly tutorials.. but yours are by far the best

I subbed after watching 30 seconds of a video. Watched the rest of it, great vid.

Thanks so much Reman, I have ~760 hours in EU4 and had never even tried republics. But after seeing this video I gave Milan a go, and my God it was a lot of fun. The Ironman journey from Milan->Italy->Roman Empire was quite honestly the most fun I have ever had in an EU4 campaign since my First Ever campaign(way back when it was still Base Tax not Development) as Brunei into Malaya(if you're wondering why I chose Brunei for my first time it was because I'm an idiot, they were on an Island and I wanted to see how mechanics worked, and Europe looked scary).

everything you need to know, on how 2 build your army is on the mil page in game -frontline size and flanking range... early game 4 cav, than ~ +2 cav / mil tech that buffs flanking range, watch out for your nations ideas, eg kasan etc get higher flanking range know how much cav you can have without suffering dmg penalties, you deal more dmg with more cav obvs.. but its general tactic to only have as much cav as your flanking range is even tho you dont suffer the penalties with a few more cav - benefits of lesser cav / army : - less maitenance, less refreshing cost after battles, lower neccessary supply-limit of provinces ( especially in the early game!) ofc, for hordes this doesnt count ;-)

As a milanese I think we shoulded re-elect our last mayor but well...good video Reman!

Playing as Milan to Italy to Rome was probably one of my best campaigns in terms of fun.

I have 3 problems with your advice for staying in the HRE ( 9:40 ) : 1. Why not helping the Emperor to reign the provinces in? You can add territory as a member. (Or does it not count? I've never bothered with the Shadow Kingdom Event) Especially with protestant Milan, you would get 0,5 prestige per month from holding Rome. 2. You can't become the Emperor as a republic. 3. How do you change the culture to a non Italian? I mean from a strategic point of view. Which provinces would you recommend conquering?

Would be interesting a version of this video with Dharma government mechanics.

I already tried 3 different Milan runs and I cant ally Austria. What do I do to avoid unlawful territory? My 3rd run, my ally Savoy went to war with Genoa and the Papacy. I got stackwiped. And the Swiss declared war on me. Then I quit that run

Oh god, this strat becomes even crazier with the inclusion of absolutism. Boat loads of mana and massive admin efficiency is crazy.

I was really excited about the strengthen government option for republics when I saw it, but mistakenly thought 3 per click was much more often than this.

There is a bonus which you can activate completing espionage and one other idea group (I can't remember which one). This bonus gives you -25 mercenaries maintans and +25 available mercenaries. This bonus with administrative ideas and Milan's ideas gives you a huge armie of cheapest mercenaries in the game. And there is an event for republics which happens when you have less than 50 traditions, that event makes you lose 1 stability but gives you 20 traditions!!! So it is better to keep traditions more than 40 and less than 50, because an event which returns you to monarchy happens when you have less than 40 traditions.

Excellence video dude, but one thing I picked up on is you saying that becoming Emperor will remove the modifier for staying in the HRE, whilst it is true, it won't apply to Milan as Republics cannot be Emperor.

My friend and I were playing eu4 the other day. He was in C.A and I was Milan. I formed Italy by 1600, and my friend was really confused when he saw Italy land in the New World almost a century before Italy is usually formed. I love this strat.

Great video. Moar.

wow, thats an awesome country, I just finished campaign with it and I ended up with italy , balkans , egypt (some arabia) , bit of turkey, south france, east spain coast and whole india. thanks for recomending this country :)

Couple quick questions: How can I convert to Coptic as a European Christian power? (And, is Coptic really better than Protestant if I have no plans to expand into the Coptic Holy Sites?) Thanks!

@Kisamaism

7 жыл бұрын

*First Question* 1.Conquer toward any Coptic provinces--AQ and QQ by the ottomans, or down toward Ethiopia. 2. Set missionary maintenance to 0. Begin converting the new province(usually before coring to ensure separatists do not fire first). Tank stability if you have to to get missionary strength down. Let the rebels spawn (Coptic zealots). 3. Now, recall missionary and send to any province that has unrest. IIRC, the rebels will now spawn as Coptic zealots as well. Allow the rebels to convert country to coptic. At 50% of your country seized under rebel occupation, you will break and become Coptic. Tip: Do NOT seize these back, do NOT allow allies military access to your country, do NOT allow them(rebels) easy access to your capital. Rebels may*(Edit: I am pretty certain they WILL, but still, do not bet on this) avoid a significantly larger military stack for a nearby unoccupied province. Pro(ish) Tip: Go to war with a simple country you can sit on for a few years (a one province minor with no allies for example). This allows the rebels to control more than 50% of your country without >>automatically.

Playing and Italy and starting as Milan was also for me my funnest playthrough. At the beginning you are tiny but strong and you can literally do everything later.

gotta agree milan is great I had this one game when I went with a monarchy in milan got my dinasty on the throne of france and hungaria. then I claimed the throne of hungaria and solo'd them and then I turned around to claim frances throne. I went on the form the HRE and eventualy conquer the world.

finally another video!

So I did this campaign a few patches ago. It turned out to be my most fun and chill campaign. O went ahead and formed Italy unifying my culture. After that I was doing a lot of role playing. Actively fighting for my allies, trade wars, using client states and marches to extend my power (North Africa, Greece and Aragon). Only taking a few provinces at a time. I built tall, all my provinces had min 25 dev and I developed my subjects too. I had a life long enemy of the Ottomans and eventually France who betrayed me. Funding revolutionaries, and fighting to free colonies (the one time I took espionage) I never took quantity so alone I didn't have the largest military but went all out for quality, trade and navy.

Could you do the same as venice? Austria always love them and venice is hostile

Because of this video, just started a Milan game and converted to Ambrossian Republic! Edgy, but exciting... Venice and Genoa allied against me... oh well, I guess taking Ferrara's 2 provinces in one war will do that to you.

Another factor to consider with Milan/Ambrosian Republic is the special event that can fire if you get below 50 RT (Guelfs versus Ghibellines). Not sure it's worth hanging around at low RT to milk this event though, now that you can reliably build up and maintain high RT by using Strengthen Government + military doges.

If you do Innovative + quality and pick the "modern firearms techniques" policy you get something like 40% Infantry combat ability. Doesn't sound like much but it let me stack wipe 30k stacks sometimes

Great video. You could also form Sardinia-Piedmont, if you want to play something that "never" appears in Ironman games. (Needs Lombard culture and Corsica and the Lombard region). Be warned, though the colour is somewhat blinding xD (You can later form Italy if you so choose). Also: Why do so many say morale is so crucial early game? To my (extensive) experience, it is quite the opposite... it's more important late game, while discipline is more important early game (again, in my experience)

Have I misheard your pronunciation or do you always say Europee-Universalis? I love your videos by the way!

I have never played as Milan so this question is directed more to Republics in general. I noticed you never mentioned the guilds in your video. Is there any benefit or drawback to balancing/cycling which guild has dominance in your government? Should I just ignore that altogether? I have seen the Milanese government change from the outside though, and notice that at least Austria gets a CB to force them to change back to a Monarchy. Is there any significant danger of being crushed early on by a neighboring power due to this? Edit: I was not aware that not all republics get the guild mechanics, so that question is answered.

Did you ever think to possibly do economic and plutocratic idea for the increased republican tradition? I think that's the ideas at least. And would that help some of the other republics that don't get some of the Milanese bonuses?

the bird protects the snake while the snake eats the humie

can you do a nation spotlight of florence/tuscany?

OK got a simple question when do you use the button to give you 3 RT and how many times to you click it. Should you only click it once ever election or what? I am sure this was applied in the video but was just not sure. As clicking clicking it multiple times might be a waste but when you first flip in a few of my games you start with pretty low rt and with a slow start it's a bit hard to get Power projection up. Thanks and loving your videos.

I picked naples instead because of their superb ideas
