The Chairman

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.

    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

    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?

  • @thechairmangames
    @thechairmangames5 күн бұрын

    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

    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???

    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!
