What if AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION really was JUST A NUMBER? (EU4 1.35)
In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be removing the effects of aggressive expansion from conquest and seeing how the AI handles a world where taking whatever you want in war essentially has no downsides with your neighbors.

Im a huge fan of centralized bureaucracy. Also the temple privileges? If thats what its called. Like t3 or t4, gives bonuses to every province with a temple
Should have given everyone Province War Score cost reduction as well to make it extra chaos
Scenario: The new world is extremely scary with far more powerful nations then in Europe.
5:00 Austria probally used that HRE CB to get HRE provinces back and instead of returning cores he took it for himself.

You misspelled Jadd Empire gov reform.
Idea: EU4, but with no allies
My favourite government reform is "Stratocratic administration", the Prussian republican counterpart to Prussian monarchy, when your ruler dies, they are replaced by your best, general, and their monarch points depends on their number of pips. Keep your mil tradition high, take some ideas for good leaders, and you'll consistently get rulers with about 15-18 total points
Man! I Love This!!
The way Austria collected those PUs in the earlygame, I thought the game would end with a gigantic Austro-Swedish union dominating Eurasia I was not expecting Austria and then Sweden to get Thanos snapped like that lmao
My favorite reform is the +250 governing cap one. It always seems to pop up exactly when I need it.
0:28 after watching red hawk videos for about 2 years, i have to say it is the "strengthen the noble privileges"
I love how british still gets falklands because some things never change
Maybe do no core cost or ultra ae, as in taking the worse province possible makes a massive coalition ( though idk if the ai would just not take anything then )

Did you know as of 1.35, Culture is connected to the first government reform (government type)? So you can culture switch and get that culture's government. So in that case, Austrian Archduchy is a really good Government Reform. OP for HRE.
7:38 Aktually Bogusław means "man who praises God". :P
Obviously Strengthen Noble Privileges is the best reform.
May I suggest two scenarios, what if Russian Alaska existed in 1444 and the other is all OPM get 60 dev and non OPM have their provinces set to 3 dev.
watching your last videos a little bit late, but i'm still here chewy!

I like Mughal Diwan. (The mughal government reform). Not having to worry about culture and even receiving bonuses for expansion is really nice.

I played as them while ignoring AE, they’re just like that normally fr
Also, i love the idea of adding names as leaders.
7:40 Boguslaw is a Polish name that is composed of 2 segments: Bogu - God (formerly also fate, luck), sław (glory). So, it means glorifying God.
I think a video with no AE and more nations, not every state independent, but something in between that and the normal map.
Not necessarily the most powerful, but definitely the most flavorful government form: Pirate Republic
It is time to.... Strengthen Noble Privileges
Maybe base manpower could be interesting, just make it so that manpower levels are greatly inflated, whilst obviously still boxed in by the force limit it means any AI could just come out of nowhere and build a massive army - as they tend to do just randomly deciding to do sweeping army changes. Potentially also a large base unrest for all nations as a different idea, making nations much less stable meaning countries are going to spend a lot of time fighting themselves, could either do Infinite rebels i.e. >200 unrest or reasonable rebels
You should do this + combined with very cheap province war score cost
There's been a weird thing about the hre emperor (for at least 2 patches) that it can core provinces inside the empire for some reason (neumark in this video) and Austria eats Pomerania in my campaigns so I think it's something about unlawful territory.
@Chewbert
Жыл бұрын
That’s not a weird thing, that’s always been the case :) the emperor can core any province in the HRE
Not a single reform, but I like all republic reforms that give you term reduction, or candidate stats, I love getting my 6 6 6 president in under 10 years (important getting as much rt as possible)
Since ae is mostly an issue for new players, specific situations and locations and early on, i'm hoping for a follow up that deals with the main things that limit expansion: ccr, war score cost, siege ability, truce time and overextension. Also several other, perhaps lesser things I'd put over ae ( the ai should be hopeless at) like integration cost, diplo slots and gov cap. You can milk that cow all the way to eu5. Don't expect the ai to fully take advantage, but you never know

Hello chewy, i really like your content but i have an idea „what if a Nation gets all idea group buffs in 1444“
How about a scenario where duchies get a, say, +4 bonus to number of diplomatic relations, kingdoms get -2, and empires get -99? Would be cool to see little states actually forming networks of alliances to stand against bigger nations.
You need to try a no improve relation campain
I don't know how fun I could be nor what the implications are but what we give like -100% all power costs to the ai?
I love the peasant republic. Rebel against the nobility ⚒️

Suggestion: All trade good values are reversed. The least valuable trade good becomes the most valuable, and vice versa.

Future idea: Take the main colonizers (England, France, Castile, Portugal, Denmark) and make them OPMs in the new world and give their old provinces to releasables/neighbors (Could also throw the Mamluks into Australia for old Durnil's sake too). Be interesting to see who fills the power vacuum and if any of the exiles decide to Sunset invade.
