Hello! I am The Chairman, a former Art-Historian who focused on the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911), I play historically inspired games such as Europa Universalis IV, Victoria 3, and More!
I enjoy learning, talking about, and poking fun at History and the many figures that we both admire and despise. So, grab a cup of Matcha, sit down, and enjoy my videos as I endure whatever Painful trial the game and my subscribers put me through.

Btw on this update you don't want to declare on Ajam. They added an event that auto declares and gives -50% warscore cost so you can full annex them.
My man, i love your videos but for the love of god learn how to handle attrition, stacking 80+k on a mountain province made me cry
The mouse click noise is very satisfying but the background track sounds like darth vader breathing apparatus noises

You should do this for Mission Tree Only.
Granada
U settling for like 30-40 ws after investing a ton of resources into it hurts me.
It is painful, but sometimes it's the small victories that help break down even the strongest opponent
Another good one from the Chair
In a reconquest war it costs less in war score if you return the core to your vassal with the ''return core'' peace deal instead of giving it to them directly by clicking on the map, also you could give the integration policy the exact month the vassals get integrated, so you don't end up with like minus 10 diplo rep
The negative diplo rep does not stack
Now wait just a minute, how can you play with like a dozen vassals, and not take Representatives of the Crown at Tier 3? Great video as always, that just caught me very off guard and I was hoping to hear what went into picking CMB over RotC?
I see the logic behind RotC. But, with Timurids, or really any nation with vassal swarms, you also have to maintain your individual power and the monthly autonomy reduction and the cooldown help maintain that but maximizing the most out of provinces. Granted RotC does provide vassal force limit which of course buffs your nations military. I think another advantage to this, is if you plan on keeping vassals for the longterm as opposed to very fast integration. That's just why I chose CMB, but I see a very clear argument for taking RotC instead and may have to play around with that more
You should leave ajam an opm to not get the increased liberty desire from those 2 new subjects and let qq eat them then attack qq
That is a good idea also! Especially since the early game can be rough
brooo 13 minutes passed still cant see in the global emergency news
Imagawa daimyo
The traditions right at the start are sooo good
@@thechairmangames Players mostly played Oda, Shimazu, Hosokawa, and Tokugawa for their national ideas, which Imagawa are bit behind, but they make it up with their traditions and very easy expansion
@unknownonedied8765 yeah personally Oda and Tokugawa are my preffered nations but looking at Imagawa ideas they're a great solid option
Florence
The playing Tall king!
Navarra
Navarra is surprisingly really fun! I like their small mission tree too
What's your favorite nation in Eu4?
Holland, without a doubt
Cornwall my beloved <3
Basic ... but Austria :)

"These are the Welsh Isles no more British Isles" The Welsh are British...... More British than the English and the Scots even....
Came here to say this
Any chance to do a Morocco to Andalusia mission tree run ?
Love the chair memes
land maintenance is under rated once youre stacking manpower. try stacking as russia and zach brannigan your way to victory
Kiff, show them the medal I won
To release a vassal not only do they have to have core but also the culture. To release Iraq you need a province with the Iraqi core and Iraqi culture.
Hey, dunno if you're interested, but I just realised its possible to become HRE Emperor as JAPAN. And... not only to be HRE Emperor, but to also have Mandate of Heaven at the same time whilst being Catholic or Protestant. I dunno if anyone else has ever tried this. Its definitely worth trying. I requires a lot of luck with events and either skill... or like me.. lots of save scumming. Basically you go open events all the time instead of isolationist. Go for expansion and exploration ideas and spread as quick as possible around Africa towards Spain & Portugal. Get Catholic as quick as possible. War Castile & Portugal, take land in Europe, Move your capital to Europe. Meanwhile conquering mainland China and Indonesia area as much as possible. Improve relations with all the electors, ally them, & save scum so the emperor never gets a child. Try to do it before the league war or hope the Catholics win. With my playthru the protestants won, so I had to convert to Protestant and improve with a whole new set of electors and ally them and un ally all the old ones etc and then re convert all my provinces and force all my colonies and vassals to change religion again, which was a real pain in the ass. Im not even good at the game, I'm sure some one who is good at the game could find this to be a very interesting and powerful way to play the game???
Wait, i thought the mandate requires pagan or eastern religion
And armenia pretty easily
Armenia is a great run and challenging
I meant to say Seljuks but I kept saying Selucids, sorry I had them on the brain 😢
Did ypu play TW rome
Hatra
@@bozomori2287 years ago I have lol
You couldnt release Iraq cause that province didnt have the culture that Iraq has culture which is second requirement to release them Like releasing Ottomans from non Turkish province
I think this is most well known with releasing Bulgaria or Byzantium after the ottomans changed the culture
Selecuids and Seljuks are different as far as I know
They are, Seleucids were Greek while Seljuks were Turkic
They are but they also controlled basically the same land
Seleucid empire
What is your favorite formable? 😮
Definitely rum, ottoman with no decadence. If only it has it's own mission tree😢

@@StrudelerOfTheTSociety i've heard of it many times, is it actually that powerful?
Powerful, @Timurlenk? I'm thinking fun.
@@StrudelerOfTheTSociety i guess that's what makes it powerful
11:22 Man, you really should have rivaled Portugal here. You get +100, -1 yearly, power projection for forcing a rival into a personal union.
sry, nothings beats new austria.... "spread dynasty", 50 warscore, and you good old rival france with all of france, is now a "von harbsburg", and only 10-30 years away, to become a PU under Austria. And you also get 25 magic mana for everything for free....
Austria is ridiculously over powered now lol. That diplo PU on Spain is easily one of the most powerful missions in the whole game
@@skatemo100 they made pu Bohemia far more easy, and even with a 0 siege general you can finish the war before Poland gets his pu-lithuiana event, so you get pu Poland per mission. So you get Bohemia, Poland, lithuia in the first 10-20 years, and with prag and his monument, you will revoke privilege in 1520....
Granada or Hsin Kayfa Mission Tree only?
What bothers me is that Spain doesn't have more claims on Morocco or Algeria and Tunis since they love to conquer that area and had a history with the Moorish pirates
Can you do modded mission trees like in Ante Bellum or Post Finem?
I think you forgot to conquer algeirs and fez, there non permanent claims gained when you conquer the moroccan rif
Spain dominated Europe and the world a century and half to practically middle 17 century no close century by the way in middle 15 century Aragón conquer Kingdom of Nápples Alphonse V after this Kingdom integrated in Spanish European territories to beging 18 century except a brief time of France.
Why is San Francisco in Marin country 😂 it’s a small thing but it kinda bothers me lmao
The main problem of the uprising of the nobles was that too many rebellious rebels appeared. I received 1 notification a week and there were more rebels than my army.
You can hold up the events without clicking them up to three months, so you can kill the first rebels and then fire the event when the disaster already ended.
@@darkphoenix2745 I realized this after watching your video. I was playing with a friend and he was mad at me, because I had rebels + events for 3 years with a waste of 100 administrative points. I couldn't improve stability and I caught new rebels every week :D
@@KisigoLmao XD
So much power creep. The rewards are weird in the mid-late-game. One is almost always at 100 prestige, and yet they keep giving you things like 25 prestige. 100 MIL points in 1675. And yet they don't give incentives for one of the more annoying bits for Spain: what to do with North America. Make a "Florida" colony and build 3 forts? Why? Past 1600, rewards should be universal claims. Anyway, good job!
Convertible prestige has largely fixed this issue in newer trees. But saving a mission is always handy when about to disinherit an heir or reduce liberty desire in vassals.
Universal Monarchy and Fecho del Imperio: Are we a joke to you?
It wold be very cool if you played ottomans in this series .
That would be a fun one with all the conquering needed
El sueño de Felipe II:
Isn't the habsburg heir a prelude to a PU with Austria if possible?
It can be peacefully, I think player Austria gets an event where they can PU Spain if they have a habsburg. But I'm not sure if Spain gets a similar event
@@thechairmangames You’re correct. Spain can get Paid peacefully but not vice versa outside of luck
@@thechairmangames austria has a mission now that lets you PU spain with decision if they have habsburg on the throne. and you easily get habsburg on spanish throne if both austria and spain/castille rival france and have good relations with each other.
Now do England 😈
I really enjoy their tree
11:51 Really recommend you wait for Portugal to take Exploration before you PU 23:51 Uhhh you know your estates give -50 uprising instead? 28:42 Is Brittany a subject? Should be an easy ally
Portugal is hardlocked to choose exploration first even if you PU them since the Domination update.
lol. I was just gonna do Forever Golden as soon as my first WC finishes
Lol perfect timing
Just for the Infants of Aragon disaster, if you don't go with the King, you will be forced to wage War against Aragon for the PU while if you side with your king, you Can get the Iberian wedding event and get Aragon for free
8:15 Also adding the gain Stab leads to a mini disaster down the road and losing 2 stab. Probably better to eat the one stab now
I'm so glad you mentioned this because I honestly didn't know long term if it affected the personal union or not.
🔥🔥
Next time we cover Poland!
Poland mountain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!
Loving this from Wales. Dros Gymru!
Maybe a Ruthenia run with missions?
Ruthenia is my favorite way of playing in Eastern Europe they're disgustingly OP
You don’t have 100% crow lands it will add estate land after some time maybe a month tick. But you can keep 100% it if you save and quit the game as soon as you release
