Best Formable Nation in EU4? Formable nations tier list Europa Universalis 4 2021 UPDATED

Whoops forgot Ireland, Zulu and Inca. Ireland would go High A tier, really good for MP and really good to pop mission before forming another tag. Zulu goes under LARP tier since it’s only formable through mutapa mission tree and Inca goes in D tier because being Inti is a requirement and it does not give ideas, mission or anything useful.

PRUSIA later GERMANY is SS TIER HUH? XD

prussia is horrible

Commonwealth in D?? More like A

does anyone know what song he uses for his outro?

“Prussia is SS tier” 👀

Germany deserve to be in SS

Did everyone forget Lorraine can form Lotharingia?

Is that DoS2 soundtrack I hear in the background?

Could you do one for mission trees from formable nations?

Italy not SS, disliked

Would be weird to actually LARP form a nation.

prussia SS 🤨🤨🤨

you can reform Georgia as Timurids then form Persia

The most fun to play is Australia. It’s hard af. But it’s super fun

No honourable mention for Texas?

Where is korea? I can't find

great top

You can form Lothringia as Lorraine by decisions. But only Lorraine can, no one else

Because I watched some of your mp games lately this vid got recommended again.
I want to touch on a couple of things that were mentioned and those are: Siam's cav potential, another way to become a republic (kinda) and get 100% cav ratio without being a horde and without being tengri. All of those can be combined in 1 (single player) campaign.
Another nation that can become a republic is Zaporozhie. It has a national decision to become a unique republic (Sich Rada). This gives -20% cav cost, 20 cav CA and 20% cav ratio. It however has no estates, but it has to ability to raze. Similar to Russia it has 3 buttons it can use in the government tab. In this way they can recruit cossack (20% of force limit).
As this nation you can reform Lan Xang (an keep your special republic) that has the 'A Million Elephants' mission, which gives 20% ratio and -20% cav cost (requires Lan Xang national ideas).
As Lan Xang it's a short way to form Siam.
Becomming sunni will give you the final 10% ratio and is easy to get when you go through central Asia.
Further recommendation is to start as the Great Horde, conquer 3 core provinces of Zaporozhie, release and play as vassal. Wait with becomming the republic for a while though. This way you can pick aristocratic ideas (since you are tribal and not a horde yet), then become a horde with tier 5 government reform, pick horde ideas and then click the decision to become the republic. Lan Xang can't be formed by hordes, so this needs to be done before that.

As far as I know this will give the strongest cav nation you can make (outside of custom nations) and you'll be a sunni republic. The only real downside is stability cost. You can get 100% cossack regiments, which increase stab cost with 100. On top of that is another 20 for every 10 republic tradition you are missing. Since you can still raze powerpoints are not really an issue though.

In single player Swabia should make the A list... underrated tag!

Punjab is S..

Even though prussia has the government cap penalty youre probably going to take admin anyway and that 25% really helps. Just give out a privilege or two and the extra absolutism counteracts it kind of. Also militarization is OP.

I'm fairly certain that Israel is a new tag, you twitch viewer might have been referring to beta israel, which is an east african formable.

to get catholic mamelukes, all you should have to do is 100% a catholic nation, and then have them enforce religion... right ? you would lose the mameluke government form i think though

I think national unrest is very important but you seemed like u dont care why?

If there is a nation that should be SS it should be Germany.

I've been looking for something like this for recommendations on what to play. Thanks m8

Spain should be SS, I mean Spain is the wet dream for Catholic iberian roleplaying:

- Moor expulsion
- Far from center-european heretics
- Early portuguese subjugation for getting a loyal ally that will help massively in global expansion by mission tree
- Good-looking over-charged flag
- Subjugation of all of the anglo-saxons by only one war by mission-tree ( how crazy is that )

Spain only needs a mission for taking hostage the king of france or an expansion in anty-piracy or anti-muslim mechanics and would be SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

So do i have problém becouce i chosen Zimbabwe?

I agree with you that the Netherlands is my favourite nation to play as, either forming from Burgundy or from a Dutch nation. I just love raking in thousands of ducats each month in trade income.

For singleplayer purposes, I would rank Germany above HRE if you are just considering the two tags and their expansion opportunities (if youre counting in HRE Vassal swarm and free integration HRE is the single best formable anyways xD). This is because Germany can actually get 10% Admin Efficiency compared to HREs 5% since the Mission Tree Branch that gives germany that is the only one it doesnt share with the HRE.

after a bit , i picked up. interesting take on MP meta

Ireland? 🤔

Ottoman?

One thing I want to add about Bulgarian missions. With the second mission you get a free Empire rank for controlling Serbia, Rascia, and Macedonia. Not a huge deal late game but I can’t think of any other mission that lets you get a cultural union within the first 50 years. Could be especially useful if you proceed into Anatolia and culture shift into Turkish/Levantine culture.

My MP game has a running gag that Greece as the most powerful tag XD solely due to the galley cost

Mugahls mission tree is just insane. 10% admin efficiency for the rest of the game, combine that with the -25% coring cost they get and from admin tech, perma claims on all of India and half of Asia, like 900 monarch points or smth and a couple thousand ducats. Someone on the dev team really loves this nation. Would recommend anyone play this nation, as you can core provinces for 2 admin points and never worry about rebels.

i think Rum will SS tier getting ottoman mission tree after patch

mighty Mughal Empire!!

Hey Habibi a bit late but apparently after the 1.32 update Ethiopia now has a mission called "modernize our army" which allows you to switch your unit type to Western, which can be pretty powerful since Western units start scaling at the same time that African units start to fall off. Their mission in general is nice, I am currently playing an Adal>Ethiopia campaign since Adal also has some quite jacked military ideas (I fucked up and formed Somalia without realizing it's an endgame tag though).
Also, Dai Viet mission grants you 2.5% permanent discipline modifier just like Morroco, meaning they can have 7.5% discipline permanently which is quite decent, so they should be similar in ranking as Morroco imo.
Anyways, great video!

imagine if the mughal culture thing worked in real life

id imagine italy be considered low s at least due to the manpower for multiplayer, after all that is the same as russia without the government, and 15 percent inf combat ability, whilst not supported by the morale of prussia is still very close, the lack of discipline is sure a pain though

wait were is inca?

great video

That's one way to pronounce porcelain

Man you keep missing the Mark on Kurland.
You could form it as Livonian but really its for Riga you start as catholic and the only thing stopping Riga from beating Livonian order is the alliance with Teutons. If you can get Poland to assist you
its an easy war. And from Kurland you can form Prussia if I remember.
