EU4 A to Z - THIS Nation Made Me REGRET Starting The A to Z Challenge

While i like playing nahuatl states, i despise playing those "jumping bean" tribes that hop around aimlessly. I guess theres two reasons for that - their development cost is even more expensive than mesoamericans and inca + they get a "tribal" debuff, meaning they pay 20% more over the 50% more from being primitive (so a 70% higher development cost increase). No, you cant develop institutions with them, so dont bother trying. I have not found a way to actually play as them "legitimately", as in not reform into a horde and develop institutions. In fact, i think reforming into a horde is a debuff, all things considered, as you need to develop the institutions yourself, rather than getting them all + tech catch-up upon pressing a button.

pick natives -> sit around for 20 years -> spain shows up -> die

Can’t wait for the redhawk Hawaii playthrough

I would recommend to immediately kill the colonial nations as soon as they form. With this tactic I played very successful as Hawaii —> USA.

Hi Hawk, did you forget about Mainz?

bottom right 😳😳

Can't believe i would see the day redhawk has his capital in my home city. Sadly it is with mapuche and not charrua...

A lot of Chileans here, I see. They seem to be very nice people. Greetings from Saint Iago, Chill-Eeh

South America as a nomad tribe is a little hard.

Idk what you should do as Maravi but as Muscovy you should form Russia while being Muslim(if it's possible).
There's an achievement in CK 3 for this, so it'd be funny for you to do it in EU 4.

Bruh I’ve never seen such an aggressive Castille. Castille barely colonizes brazil by 1540 in my games let alone the entire Incan Empire.

It’s always Castile

the AI clearly focusses the player. paradox lied to us, shame on useless paradox

I tried recreating this twice. Each time I got attacked by the Incans when I had no army. I tried improving relations beforehand but no dice, they still attacked. Is this just pure bad luck or is there something @TheRedHawk did that was not obvious in this regard. He also had no armies when he initially move to border the Incans.

Can you play lusatia? I know its a releasable but it has a cool history (last slavic nation in east germany) and is sadly kinda forgotten, even tho its ideas are quite good. Mby you can as a goal convert all off east germany back to slavic (sorbian) ;0

With „settle down“ you can use tribal development to turn tribal land into core provinces

Yeah, I don't know of Paradox ever officially confirmed it? But it's obvious the AI in the game has a massive anti-player bias. In this game it's extremely obvious compared to usual.

Should have given them what they wanted, truce broke their colonial subject, annex all the lands back, truce break next subject and so on. :)

WHy is he pausing when he's making the calculation? Precious minutes lost!

Wheres Mainz 😢?

Yeah, I was playing a game in New Zealand and the Europeans showed up in the pacific to colonize my area by like 1540, it’s stupid

well you tried your best

High inflation, high warscore, internal conflicts, bankruptcy. Ahh classique A2Z

There is an event that lets you switch to inti as a pagan faith, would that have been worth grabbing or is trying reform into a monarchy better?

Why not beeline to get a border with castile early so you can get the institutions for free?

I tried this cursed nation again with the (relatively) new tribes' mechanics, and it was an absolute slog waiting to convert to horde. Native federation gameplay is a huge no also, since this (also cursed) continent is a wasteland of enormous provinces with huge amounts of nothing. To make things worse, Portugal was speedrunning ruining my game coming straight after me before I could even get to the Incas.

It was easier when I could just migrate to Peru, beat some Inca ass and convert to Inti in the first 10-20 years, then wait for colonizers, get my ass kicked, steal their tech and get revenge.

Here I'm hoping for a rework for the entirety of South America. Provinces too big, few native nations to play the federation gameplay, and lack of flavor in general.

Hey RH, can't you redo this one later? Maybe you got both screwed by the AI and wasn't prepared for them..

Colonization in eu4 is crazy quick for western nations

Cannot believe Red Hawk leaked my face like that, going to have to destroy him in an EU4 1v1 challenge that's happening on the 26th June on Speed5 😤

Send this ruined campaign to Zlewikk! It would be fun to see him struggle with this mess. :D

Mapuche is very fun in Civ 6 :)
Can't wait till we get to see you become Holy Roman Emperor as Ming

Well at least Mapuche are pretty good in Civ 6.

[A WILD Laith appears]

Enjoyed your pain.

my favorite eu4 sitdowner is back

AI 100% targets the player.

Is anyone keeping score? How many campaign victories v failures? Would be fun to know :P

@TheRedHawk

Mapu che means People of the Earth, with che the general word for human, people: Tehuelche, etc.

Mapu = Gaia = the Earth Goddess = Bachué, of the upcoming Muisca.

That I only got to know about, started studying and documenting (English Wikipedia) through... EUIV !

I'd love to make content together for the Muisca!

Will write in the Discord

As a Chilean I'm very excited for this video. Thanks for your dedication!!!

Is there a specific reason why you’re bumping gold mine provinces up to 10 and not more?

I love the rare failures

It is just remarkable how tedious and unfun so much of playing a new world tribe is and how nonsensical the optimal way to play them can be.

Pain

Those mountain forts would have been really helpful. But then again, with the navy they have, maybe they would have just gone around them.
