Livonian Order the Lions of the North DLC HERE: play.europauniversalis.com/AlzaboHD. Thank you to Paradox for sponsoring today’s video with the new 1.34 EU4 update!
bro you deserve wayyyy more subs, your videos are so well made the constant puns and well written script shows just how much effort you put into your vids
@@AlzaboHD Oh wow, it never actually registered to me that you have less than 150k subs. You're the best Paradox game channel by a long shot in my view, I honestly just think I assumed you were huge because of how great the vids are haha
@@avall0nNn1992 Denmark is also relatively easy to PU early on, so if you ever play for the Atwix Legacy achievement I recommend starting as Austria and playing for a Denmark PU which will give you 3 thrones already. Then with Hungary, Bohemia, Poland, Lithuania from the mission tree, depending on luck Naples, Milan and Castile you will very quickly get what you need and you can still do HRE stuff.
@@blafoon93 yes but Naples is not dependent on Luck, you get them via mission tree aswell. Burgundy is also a save bet. You also get Bavaria but I'm not sure if it's a PU or Vassal-CB.
@Gerrit Paschulke you get missions for Milan and Naples but it's not uncommon that they are Republics by the time you get to those missions, so then you get perma claims instead of PUs from the missions. Burgundy is a pretty safe bet but will be automatically inherited shortly after, so I would not count on having a Burgundian Junior partner if I'm going for the Atwix Legacy achievement. The way I got it and in my opinion the easiest and fastest way is by getting a Danish PU. Took me pretty much exactly 50 ingame years this way. You can also just throw dip points out the window and marry every HRE minor but that's pretty lame.
Your cadence is pleasing to my ears, showing that I was right in having had no fears, over the quality of the video, so pleasing to the soul reminding me of the importance of having a goal. Carry on dear sir, for this is the content I do prefer.
The easy war on Riga is completely RNG, I've restarted 10 times as they ally always big nations around. Edit: finally made it last evening, after the wife and kiddo were sleeping, and I couldn't, had to fight a bit of the RNG with Novgorod and then Teutons and managed to get my head start. Livonian Order is really a very interesting and challenging (besides RNG dependent) start. On a sidenote, Sweden rivaled me and allied Poland, but the Gotland card is there!
Really looking forward to the new dlc, almost as much as a new Alzabo vid! So lucky to get 2 in a week that I’m thinking of getting a lottery ticket 😂!
I was shocked I didn't know you played EU4 as well, big fan of your CK3 videos and I've been toying with trying EU4 with the monthly account one can get, I'm sort of waiting for Victoria 3 to decide though 😉
The tactic of conquering Riga no longer works. Currently Riga has not 3 members of the trade league but 4-5 + often makes an alliance with Poland, so at the beginning of the game conquering it is impossible. Especially that her allies are not as passive as in this material and they combine a larger army with which we have no chance.
I have an idea for a challenge, you start as Cyprus in ck3 and can only use holy orders, become a crusader state and make your own form of crusader Christianity into the only religion!
Thank you for the reload tip for coalitions! Was always wondering why the ai despite having positive relations are still part of the coalition against me lol
The Hanseatic League are not easily occupied. In the clip, your enemies just stayed in the cities and didn't move. In my game they gang up on me and have c.20k troops.
Since when does the Balten culture exist? I haven't played for a year and that is completely new to me. Is it unique for Livonia or does Riga have it now instead of Prussian? I am confused. Ok, I've rewatched the video and Riga is indeed Baltic. Are there more provinces with that culture?
I think it's new! Riga is the only province that starts with it IIRC and it is the primary culture of both Riga and the Livonian Order. The rest of Estonia has the old cultures
Not sure they made this separate culture and still kept it Germanic for some reason. In 1444, the Baltics had a sizable German upper class, but they were definitely not the majority of the population. Would have been more accurate to make Prussian and Balten a culture that is accepted by both Germans and Baltic nations
@@compatriot852 EU4 has a massively simplified culture concept. The Balten culture is literally this class of mostly german traders and their descendants which in the past sometimes made up a very sizable part of Riga's population. Since EU4, different to Victoria, only shows culture in totality it gets the germanic Baltendeutsch culture without any nuance. It's just how the game is. Victoria would show pie charts of the cultural makeup, CK3 would show Balten with a Baltic Heritage but German language I think. EU4's game mechanics just feel so game-y, oversimplified and arcade-y
@@compatriot852 This is represented by Balten being your primary culture, but not actually being present in any of your provinces (except Riga). The rulers get German names because they are Balten, but all the provinces are Livonian and Estonian.
The event chain being bugged hasn't been patched yet. In my game I've tried three separate runs and waited 30 years each time. Never finished the event chain
No the event chain is not bugged. But Paradox put in a hidden requirement for the last event to fire. Your current ruler must be a 3 3 3 and you cannot be at war.

Honest agreement. Alzbo is the best strategy games you tuber in my opinion
YES! He deserves more subbsss so I suscribe right now :DDD xdd
Oh my, 2 Alzabo hd videos in a week? A blessing from the gods!
Coffee has brought me +1 stability
@@AlzaboHD saw the schedule never slept so gooooood
@@AlzaboHD More like +50% production efficiency ;)
@@AlzaboHD really it looks more like a goods produced modifier
The “Transfer Subject” ability is so fun in an Austria game I had Norway and Sweden super early
Yes, for Austria it's really good. You want to fight the Danes anyway. Might as well take their subjects. :D

When Alzabo uploads it makes my day so much better

Bloody great video mate, Livonia looks great and I'm really excited to see you play more EU4 in the future! Keep up the great stuff man 💪
I love everything you do alzabo but eu4 will always have a special place in my heart ty kindly
alzabo i will watch literally anything you make because the production quality is amazing and the word flow is very soothing to listen to
Cool video bro!
I love the script and the more frequent uploads
Face reveal when? 😎
7 days ago lmao
You are the funniest paradox creator man, you take your time and every video is a blast with rhymes
I only subbed to this channel for euIV so I am glad to see this :)
I love you making eu4 vids
cool vid bro, ur unironically the best eu4 RUclipsr
i feel like you're trying to hypnotize me with all the alliteration and rhymes :D great video!
“Declare war for their core” is an underrated one
your attempt at German in the outro should be considered a hate crime, no cap
we're doing flemish next fr fr
Like provided and shared with friends of mine who has an interest in this game and additionally commented as everyone should do.
Thank you for the support Yusuf!
Thank you too as well.
Really looking forward to the new dlc, almost as much as a new Alzabo vid! So lucky to get 2 in a week that I’m thinking of getting a lottery ticket 😂!
I love your video style. The tone and timbre of your voice combined with(as I imagine) a prewritten AAR are just music to my ears
Yes please more eu4! Maybe another top 10 nations video with the new update? Another updated video for formables would be great to!
Playing as Riga and saw Livonia so I got curious and looked them up. Those ideas blew my mind! Defiantly playing them next run.
20 minutes seemed like 20 seconds watching your videos man, love you
Great video, thanks for preview!
It has been a while and it would be great to have you back playing EU4; missed your content.
you are back
Loving the 9:48 40 to 1 Sabaton's Polish soldiers reference :)
Oh my god the livonian government uniqueness is AMAZING need that for more nations
I love your video and especially on EU4 bc I don't play CK ^^
But will keep watching anyway even if you don't enjoy doing eu4 vid.
YEAHHHH!!! Alzabo and EU4, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. :D
A great watch as always
Awesome and funny as always, love the way you rhyme all the time :3
Cool vid bro
Cool comment bro

Love the eu4 content man
Love the video! You are the best eu4 content creator
This colour is divine!
Livonia controls the coastline.

I drink rose wine. 😎
Pretty nicely made, well explained. Thank you, vielen Dank!
Oh my god, 2 videos a week, I guess the apocalypse is approaching. Nice video
Glad you enjoyed it!
fun video
I fall asleep to your voice every night
What a coincidence, I just started a game as Riga trying to unite the Baltic region.
The most enchanting voice of all other eu4 players. And a nice music ..a master of great climate …..
love your content as always
AlzaboHD is back sweet

Loved Your take on game! 😊
wood love to see more EU4.i love your stuff

underrated content creator for sure
Loved the video 😍
Drinking game: watch 5 AlazboHD videos and take a shot every time he says polity
drunk
Great video, I really like the livonia color its cool
I have an idea for a challenge, you start
as Cyprus in ck3 and can only use holy orders, become a crusader state and make your own form of crusader Christianity into the only religion!
You have mistake in video Livonia can get 14 goverment types. Check once more first event.
Watching this from Riga :)
Time for Deus Vaulting into greatness
Livonian order is such a underrated nation I feel
Loved it!
Ah I'm so proud of it!
I'm curious about Venice with its new national ideas. I hope you can try it out one day. Thank you for the great video.
A blessing from the lord!
Praise!
''Partitioning Poland is best done with friends'' I can't, lmao XD
you are the goat of eu4 (other than red hawk)
Meeting red hawk was awesome at PDXcon - he's a great guy! Thanks for the support Dray!
Alzabo keeping up the pun game as always lol
love the way you speak
Love the way you write
Balten Germany sounds like a fun campaign.
Cool Vid Bro
paradox powering creeping the countries in their expansions is hilarious
Cool video bro
cool video!
Thank you for the reload tip for coalitions! Was always wondering why the ai despite having positive relations are still part of the coalition against me lol
nice video for the swordbringer monks .
Im a simple man, I hear "buckets of ducats" and get the warm brain fuzzies.
Hmm yes lore of Livonian Greatness momentum over 9000!
I love how alzabo manages to make so many jokes and still gives out good advices in between them
More eu4! Because I tried ck3 and I fought it to be boring.
The new EU4 update is awesome - it might just bring me back for more content!
I'd love to see a sunset invasion guide or playthrough as a nation other than the Aztecs
Last time I was this early fars was yellow
Galaxy brain move when he rhymes "land" with "land"
cool vid bro
cool comment bro
finally some EU IV! love the ck series but europa universalis is the first love!
Alzabo has a very strange nostalgia inducing outro
I'm from Germany better from the former Kingdom of Prussia 😋 and I have to say that I Like your 'Deutsch'.
Peace
