Oh yeah, they're great. I don't know if you're swamped with them or not, but I sent two of my own to your email. Also, the catholic move was the correct one for kongo. The constant conversions allow for basically constant use of all the curia powers. I never dipped below 3 stab when I went for african power. Plus you get holy war on everyone.

Omg I'm in a vid. Yoshman here, I was just doing a casual run. I tend to keep all the forts up in case of rebels or wars on those fronts, and I don't like to delete them, unless I can put a fort in a better location. No clue as to why I guaranteed Ardabil (maybe to vassalize them), but I know that I allied Ajam so I didn't have to worry about attacks from Iran/Persia eastward, while I was heading westward. I allied Scotland, France, Bohemia, and Russia to help counter European alliance blocks. I went to war with the Iberians for north Africa, and also to cut them down before they have all their colonies at 100% with them in Europe. I didn't really have any major plans for eastern expansion at that moment.

Hey Red, production building do not increase the number of good produced, just increase how much money you get out of production, so build a production building on a province that is not making money due to lack of development/non-stated/non-accepted culture is not very good, even if they produce an expensive product.

@@TinchMesh I guess the argument is about long-term returns on investment - like if you know you're going to be playing for hundreds of years more it makes sense to spend the money on something that will eventually (and for most of that time) give a better return, in comparison to one that is already at its max (but low) possible return. I mean ultimately it doesn't really matter because if you're focusing on that, you're going to have the production buildings in every province in long game. I can understand your point though and Hawk has been wrong in the psst.

Good Video as always, just a question: was my savegame skipped for a reason, aside from what you stated in last video you didnt want two mamluk runs in one video, i guess you marked it with a thumbsup for yourself to see where you at, but from timeline of videos it would be the savegame at the beginning of this ones slelection or the end of the last video's selection, doesnt matter much if you had a reason to skip it.

Should use the player, Great power or even Military access map modes to see the full extent of countries including subjects easier. Mil access map mode subjects show as a different colour to others, least clean looking of the lot but I recall it not being that colour for tributaries, so is a bit more "accurate" on that front.

Hay red hawk so love your vids they have helped in many of my eu4 games. I was wondering if you would be able to review the MP save game I’m currently having with 5 other friends (6 player mp game) I know it’s not Ironman but have not used the console or anything all game would love to see what you think of the progress. It’s me as Venice Friends are Sweden, France, Bohemia, Morocco, Portugal. We are around mid 1500s currently Would love it so much having the great Red Hawks opinion 😁

from the preview i thought you would review Laith's Najd campaign lol

The ottoman player made the same mistake i did when doing the greece achivement aka forgetting to divert trade from his subjects, it hurts your economy more and more over time

I personally feel that even if you're playing a casual Ottoman game, that amount of expansion by 1544 is on the slower side. Perhaps the player got tied up in their allies wars, given the many alliances? EDIT: Though as you rightly point out, we don't know the skill level (or intent) of the player. Didn't mean to be elitist.
