What if being a GREAT POWER was TERRIBLE? (EU4)

In today's Europa Universalis IV (EU4) video we will be making it so being a great power applies negative modifiers that get gradually worse as the great power ranking goes up, up to the worst modifiers for the number 1 great power in the world.

    ​@@arya_real I always feel like Russia and Ottomans miss flavor, Ottomans is always a matter of how far you can blob out and your armys are especially in the early game so buffed, that u can Deal with alliances double your strength without a probleme. But still kinda fun, because without really big alliances as your opponents, it's an really relaxing blob out experience, but sadly without flavor. Russia is a little bit different, because you don't start that extremly strong, of course it's an easy start because your neighbors are weak as hell and expending in the east is no probleme at all. But in the West you can be really unlucky and face an Commonwealth alliance setup that makes expending really tough. But i always feel like playing Russia is a little bit like playing Observer Mode, you are expending in the East without real game impact, strike on the Ottomans when they are struggling or even crumbling, and then later expend in the West and beat up the Common Wealth (when you didn't already do it until 1500 when they got shitty allies). Playing in Central-Western europa and far east asia just have so much more flavor.

    Being King in Prussia had nothing to do with the HRE. They couldn't be Kings of Prussia, because Poland held the province of West Prussia and without controlling all of Prussia they couldn't call themselfs King of Prussia.

  • @MrSaywutnow

    While it is true that Frederick the Great proclaimed himself King of Prussia after the First Partition of Poland, the creation of the title of King in Prussia was explicitly because of the HRE. Within the borders of the HRE, only two King titles were permitted - King of the Romans (held by the Emperor) and King of Bohemia (which was separate until Bohemia fell under a PU with Austria). Prussia was outside the borders of the HRE, so it was decided that the Hohenzollerns (who held the title of Duke of Brandenburg, which was part of the HRE) could hold the title of King over their Prussian territories.
