A drydock is in fact, as the name implies, a dry dock. Think huge bathtub with a sluice at one end, drive boat in, close sluice, pump water out, repair ship, pump water back in, open sluice, drive out. Of course there are other designs but that's the general idea. You will often find references to warships having to enter dry dock. Meaning they would be out of commission for a long time, most often due to heavy battle damage or extensive retrofitting.

"I genuinely don't understand why... Boris is in charge" Hehehe

I very much agree that EU4 should have more emotionally gripping moments. I get sick of just expanding, and I wish there were more events and mechanics for things like literacy, poverty, disease, education, sanitation, etc that really immerse you in the context you're in, as opposed to just a pure numbers and strategy game.

Please do a part two, this game is really fun to watch

About the nature of EU4 that you talked about around 26:00 - it is a weird thing about the Paradox games, CK is full on character based, EU4 is all about conquest, Victoria is economics, HoI4 is logistics/wartime production; a moderate mix of all 4 would be an amazing grand strategy game

I definitely agree, it's why I almost always mod Eu4, be it Anbennar or some immersion mod as they tend to add those more personal or roleplay events.

I like how you answered the question of the video title in like the first minute of the video

really hope we get to see you finish the mission tree for novgorod

you can sell heavies at the start to baltic countries you can get a decent 100 ducats easy of them

5:40 Damn I immediately got that Vincent Kompany Joke^^ Cheers Laith and Panini stickers xD

Please do continue if you feel like it!

I have spent 30 hours with Novrogod, so glad to see you playing this

You should continue this series

i would absolutely LOVE a part 2

The government reform "consolidate power in the doge" disables elections thus why boris is in charge

Nice one :) When will you go to Ulm though?

This was a real good one

Don't worry Laith, I understood the Vincent Kompany joke

I totally agree with you in terms of EU4 lacking storytelling. Only way of giving some kind of storytelling is the events and i think Paradox just focuses on making the game easier or harder for the player, but they should give sort of emotion as well. That would make the game way more fun

Top tier Novgorod gameplay. Please continue this series!

A LOT of the novgorod start depends on if you can get someone like Poland or Denmark to ally with you early on, which can just be luck of the draw.

If you don’t want to save the heavies, just sell them for 50 ducats each to whoever wants them. 150 ducats is better than the 0 you get from deleting them.

When you Consolidate Power in the Doge, the election cycle changes to ruler reigns for life, Venetian lottery-style elections upon ruler death. I don't recommend it for non-Venetian republics.

Isn't it wrong to label Novgorod a Republic seeing as they elected princes? Wouldn't that make them an electorate like Poland-Lithuania?

@newguy8288

Жыл бұрын

It’s more so a republic because the Veche, as in the merchants and the common people in general had a say in the election. An elective monarchy would imply the nobility voting for the king for the most part, like dukes and such. Plus the Prince of Novgorod had much less power in comparison to a king in Poland-Lithuania, so it’s more like a republic because of that

Because the point of playing EU is playing as Byzantine Empire, of course ^^

Pretty sure the best trade nation in EU4 is Bengal or Gujarat, solely based on their ideas and being on the Indian subcontinent.

I personally think that EU IV and later EU V should lean into the board game aesthetic that the game has and play more like a board game of such complexity to only be possible on computer than a realistic simulation

:aKgsDuckSpin:

Go on and form a based Russia, with strong republican values. Perhaps even humanist ideas as a nod to ethnic diversity of modern Russia.

Thanks for everything you do :D Have a good day. And if you by any chance find this easy I can give a few extra rules I guess something like "You must stay monarchy always, cannot trade with the austrians and ottomans (embargo em pretty much), cannot ally the austrians, ottomans, serbs, montenegro and russians. I think thats it. It could be too much even for such a CHAD like you". I do apologise for not saying it right away this is for Victoria 3. Day 19 of asking.
