21:09 I'm pretty sure you can hover over the dev cost modifier in each province to see if there are any that haven't been developed 3 times. If the province got exploited by you or Poland then it will have been improved -1 times
13:58 you could get -10% more devcost reduction simply doing mission the other way, accepting 4 cultures (decentralised reform could help, for example)
I do the opening moves for Lithuania a little different, always ally the Teutons and either Hungary or Bohemia (depending on Polish rivalries, a restart might be needed. But I usually just rival and insult them to get 2/3 of the aforementioned nations as an ally). Then fight a humiliation war against Novgorod for Show Strength first, curry favors with your allies and do the war against Poland a little later (usually around 1448/1449). Then declare on Livonian Order a month later and fully annex them (since Teutons won't join), then focus on Poland. Break alliance with Teutons (obviously) right after the war.
I also go for Decentralized Bureaucracy and accept Prussian and Crimean, this makes the mission reward for Enforce a Commonwealth -10% Development Cost which I synergize with Magdeburg Laws to spawn Colonialism. But I see the tax edict is a lot stronger than I thought.
Another thing you can do with Lithuania is fight novgorod first, swap to Novgorodian main culture, allows you to form Russia instead, a famously balanced Tag.
Because admin dev is the weakest in the long run. The end of the 1st era is also the best time to burn it, especially if you have an edict for +50% taxes because you will get +50% money for it.
@@lookasetbella I'm glad I sometimes read comments. I didn't know local tax modifiers affected tax exploitation. But I guess I can't know everything with my mere 1930 hours xD
Hei Lucas, could you play either as Poland, Burgund or a Dutch culture vasal and form both the Netherlands and Commonwealth. I tried myself but i get nö luck or do something stupid and die.
The best tall nation in eastern Europe is start as Bohemia, culture convert all that farmland to Saxon. Swap to Brandenburg/Prussia and use your early strength to gobble up Poland/Lithuania and dev the living shit up everywhere after dirt cheap culture flip
Get the highest possible cav combat ability. Start as great horde, take horde ideas, conquer zaporozhie from lithuania, release and play zaporozhie, get sich rada, take aristocratic ideas and quality ideas, conquer poland, conquer pomerania, form pomerania and do 10% cav combat ability mission, form poland and take the narional ideas and get espionage to combine with horde ideas and get cav combat ability policy.
As someone that never played EU4, this entire video sounded like Math to me, since I clicked on it cus the title had “newbies” in it. but I am still interested in the game I guess
There is a lot of explaining in this video, there are a lot of things that need to be made easier to understand ruclips.net/video/aHCf8TXbFu4/видео.html
@@lookasetbella Alright then. As long as youre having fun. But the difference from hard is very noticible. Hard is my go too, as very hard seems very punitive and yeah ... on normal everything basically fall in line for a player.
Not sure why this guy did it, but It's super useful . Makes swapping cultures easier, reduces governing Cost and gives you ducets(you should only exploit adm)
Tall Lithuania is an absolute beast. The amount of farmland is absolutely insane
But the trade is very bad tho
playing tall (conquer all eastern europe)
Tip for riga vassal is having 3 stability before releasing them since the ai can be kinda stupid and not stab up for the mission
Not finishing the Lithuanian tree first killed me my dude XD
anything super good in the lithuanian mission tree before forming LPC?
@@rimreld Yes there are two very good ones, I talk about both of them in the video.

I totally forgot about it :D Thanks!
Love the king of dragon pass music in the background
For this awesome run, you, my good sir, have earned a new and loyal subscriber!
0:16 The development map is hilarious, literally all the surrounding countries are more developed
Lithuania mentioned!

im normally just conquer and f it guy at 7k hours but it seems like a good idea to play one tall run, it was a joyful campaign thanks !

The baxton clip made me spit out my fucking drink man.
Dude you’re channel is great, can’t believe I hadn’t discovered it before
Thanks!

“Famously balanced”😭🙏🙏
Fantastic country, love to play it every time❤
14:26 Your global power cost modifiers always apply to subjects
11k hours and I didn't know it :D Or I've forgotten
HELL YEAH
bro is literally at the same longitude as the ottomans and calling them eastern
Why is tax development often exploited? It looks like the opposite of what I would do.
Because admin dev is the weakest in the long run. The end of the 1st era is also the best time to burn it, especially if you have an edict for +50% taxes because you will get +50% money for it.
@@lookasetbella The edict thing sounds awesome. But, is the dev exploited because of government capacity, or do you prefer to exploit it anyway?
@@Maus_Indahausit lowers dev cost indirectly.

Exploiting tax is a meme, only good if expansion is impossible becouse you're some small HRE nation with 20 provinces 1600 in multiplayer.

I rememver when the provinces were in only 4 colours not in only green XDD. They will destroy EU5

I think I played something similar on the channel :P

Is this reupload or something? I swear I've seen this video before.
This is Eng version of my Polish movie.

Is that King of Dragon Pass i hear?
dude i can create that map view in the thumbnail day 1 by decreasing all of my development so the map looks actually green when i click my country
:50 seconds in and a big, no thanks
np
dude you are playing on very easy or smth
I'm playing usually on normal, hard or very hard iron man. In this movie on norma im mode.
@@lookasetbella Alright then. As long as youre having fun. But the difference from hard is very noticible. Hard is my go too, as very hard seems very punitive and yeah ... on normal everything basically fall in line for a player.
15:17 I don't understand that part, can you elaborate
4:26 as an eastern tech it's pretty good to have 4 cav in every stack, even if you don't spec into cav. They have to be cassak thou.
Yes but if you have money on it :D
For lithuania its better to use winged husars cav. And cosack infantry for shock.

15:21 Why exploit development?
Not sure why this guy did it, but It's super useful . Makes swapping cultures easier, reduces governing Cost and gives you ducets(you should only exploit adm)
So you take a long > annex new land > more dev > exploit dev > repay loan> convert culture
