Okay, some people have missed the point here (even though I said it in the intro, you impatient bastards) - I wanted to be the first person to get the *event*, there are MUCH easier ways of flipping to Norse. I really REALLY would NOT recommend doing this. Ever. I regret it and I got a video out of it. I've aged, lads. I'll never be the same again.
have you ever done the re-reconquista? its a tough challenge in its own right but to add to the pain you can add the conditions of not being kicked off iberia and staying sunni.
It kinda hard to see the “miss point” when your title and what you trying to say is 2 different things. However, you definitely are the first person to do this as Norway from my pov as Florry did it as Sweden (had nothing to do with animist) and Ludi did flip in a video via Greenland mission from the Norway mission tree. Thank you for your suffering to make this video
I don’t understand why they made this event so difficult to get. To form the mongol horde as the teutons you need to basically reconquer Ghenghis’s empire but at least that is actually FUN
It's not actually that hard. Being Iceland is what made it hard. Doing religious ideas reduces it to 50 years, and it's super easy as Sweden or Norway.
@@shaddaboop7998 is scandinavia becoming Norse really any less probable than a holy catholic order of German knights deciding to call themselves “Mongolian” and reforming the mongol empire?
I respect the grind and the fact that he put a 40 min video out showing his misery. Completly based and very relatable..i rememeber going trough similar pain going for surfing usa run
My only issue with the requirements is the age. I believe being excommunicated meanwhile having completed religious ideas is logical for this event due to a religious monarch who is denied by the church being able to seek a solution in other means of finding god, but declining faith in the reformation period makes much more sense rather than an era of colonization
it might be because of dwindling norse populations? still silly i dont believe there where any left but hey, i dont see paradox going for an he was exploring his faith
Religion becomes historically less important after the age of reformation therefore it checks out you have to do it earlier but I would have put the event up before the age of absolutism.
There's the other, less painful way to get norse via the Norwegian mission tree and the Greenland mission, which has a >10% chance of spawning two norse provinces
@@eafesaf6934 he used console commands in "ironman" to get the event option he wanted (the code for the norse option is written but it is commented out in the release version of the game, so it can't actually occur in ironman mode).
I've never clicked like so fast in my life: not because the video was any better than it usually is (which is stellar) but out of a sense of humanity for this tortured soul! Laith, you are putting in the work so we don't have to, cheers!
Guys, if we want him to suffer the most, we need to NOT vote for this to continue. If he does all this work just to not have the fans want him to continue, then that will crush his soul harder than continuing. (note, I don't actually want Laith to suffer more, just wanna do funny meme. Video was great and has convinced me to do this insanity as Sweden... while trying to get the Poland PU and Burgundian inheritance. wish me luck)
I like that they even added the possibility of becoming norse in the game although I wished it wasn't this ridiculously hard to get. Hoping they continue fixing this dlc and fleshing out more features that were lacking. Romuva and Lithuania definitely is an area that is in dire need of flavor and content
I'm really proud of being able to get this event a couple days ago, it was the first thing I did with the new dlc. It really synergizes with a pirate Gotland run, since everyone will hate you anyway (you'll be raiding so the relations penalty from being a different religion doesn't matter, plus the gov reform that doesn't allow allies is unironically the best one). The pirate republic allows you to spam reelections to get the scholar/sinner personality trait (or to reelect a young guy to be a 6/5/5). When you do flip norse, the elections allow you to easily switch between the norse diety bonuses (basically as flexible as protestantism). The naval forcelimit is seriously helpful in being able to handle your island empire. Plus, the flavour is unbeatable (literally raiding norse vikings). I seriously recommend playing as pirate gotland if you are trying to flip norse. If you're finding it difficult, look at how florryworry started his run on his twitch (his day 1/2 vods both have succesful starts). His strats work on normal difficulty just fine. In the initial war against denmark, take bergslagen and you're good!
Also, I'm not sure if Laith will see this, but you want to check what effectiveness your raids are by hovering over the button before you raid. Laith got 0 ducats from the english channel, but he should have gotten a few hundred. If the effectiveness is at 1%, it means someone is hunting pirates in that node. Send light ships to privateer in that node to increase the effectivess of the raid (pirates get increased privateering efficiency, so even this synergizes with Gotland
I disagree. While it's an accomplishment, it's apparently such absurd levels of grind and RNG. Achievements should be enjoyable and/or challenging, not just random BS that takes blind luck mixed with cryptic requirements.
No joke, you are such an entertaining EU4 tuber, one of my favorites! I love the passion and the enjoyment you showing and doing this angsty RP choices.
If you can rival (or otherwise significantly piss off) the Papal Controller, then you can get excommunicated and that's another 0.5x mean years to happen modifier. That's a total of 25 years mean time to happen, and that's pretty easy as Sweden if you're really trying.
The absolute pain, and determination. I'd love to see Norse Iceland take over the north, destroy the HRE, and dismantle the papacy. Conquer or destroy anyone who declared war on you... And keep a friendship with Poland. They at least allied you in your darkest time.
No it’s required, you can check the EU4 wiki Norse events page to see the requirements. I’m pretty sure you just need to have picked religious ideas, not complete them, even though Laith keeps saying that he needs to complete them.
@@villus9384 I mean that when you look in the event folder of eu4 -> Norse -> the event A Wave of Curiosity norse.event.2 does not mention bergslagen as a requirement anywhere. And the events following that (norse.event.3/4/etc) only have it as a modifier. Therefore I was curious if the wiki might be wrong. I know the wiki does not mention it. But the wiki has been wrong before.
@@tienos5397 Looking at the file right now, one of the requirements for norse_events.2 (the start of the norse nostalgia event chain) is "owns = 4", meaning you need to own the province with id 4, which is Bergslagen.
Congrats! I do want to see where you take this run now that you are free of the event hell. Want to see if there's any more neat Norse stuff added in the lion of the north as well
The fact that you can become the MONGOL EMPIRE reborn as the Tuetonic Order relatively easily is already absurd. Generally, something entirely dependent on RNG to a degree that someone can waste entire DAYS IRL to get it to occur is absurd. So yes, this should be easier. I personally think that the base MTTH should at the very least be 50 years (I'd prefer 40 or 30 or even 20), with completed religious ideas halving that, and the ruler requirement only needed 5 in admin (the way its worded implies its academic curiosity that kicks it off, so admin should be the skill required for it). I also think they should have added a way to revive Lithuanian paganism (Romuva, IIRC, which actual historical records strongly suggest was still being practiced to some degree locally in certain villages in the early 1400s), but that’s a different topic.
And this, folks, is the TRUE origin story of the Joker. Expect future videos of Laith in heavy clown make-up, setting fire to piles of cash. (also, I'm fairly certain that somewhere in Sweden, right now, a PDX developer is rubbing his hands in glee going, "Dance puppets! DANCE!!!")
Apparently Ludi used console commands. The Greenland colonies event is currently bugged and the Norse option NEVER happens (you can check on the eu4 subreddit about it).
I know your pain, I play opms all the time and try to go big. The only thing keeping you safe is the hre, scoring strong Allies, or having no borders with great powers. I end up birding a lot to get alliances, bankrupting myself to raise above force limit with mercs to get allies. getting good siege progress for wars- going hard and fast on a more powerful country for a decent white peace. It’s also crippling to even lose a battle when your force limit is ~15k.
You, good sir, are mental. But hey, definitely impressive. To sit here like less than a week since the DLC has come out (unsure how long you've had access to it but still) for the vastt majority of a day to get the event. It's just a shame you were tabbed out when the first event actually fired lmao.
The pain. I feel it in the area of my body/mind where my soul should be, but like Erik, I have no soul as I am a ginger. I am unsure if I should be impressed, worried for Laith's sanity; or both at the same time. 10 religious heads were sacrificed out of 10. Now please do something good for yourself.
1:40 Actually, Iceland was a place for Irish Monks to visit in order to be further away from civilization, long before pagans came there. There are some people who believe they've also visited America before Leif Ericson, since the natives have told the norsemen about pale-skinned people using iron tools who came before them
I started laughing somewhere early on, then it just kept getting better and better. And, before I knew it, I was giggling and snorting like a kid 😂😂 Cheers Laith!
did you know ? you can give multiple provinces occupation at once to a country by shift+leftclic on the provinces, and then transfer occupation ! 4:37 your welcome :D
Light ship combat abilities is very OP. In my Scotland game my light ships would sink all the enemies combat ships in the Caribbean. I had quality ideas and Navy super power so my ships were unstoppable cause all the flanking. I had 200 lights in the Caribbean 300 in Lubbock and 200 in novogrord.
Your reaction is exactly the same I had when I got the Basileus achievement. Except it was not early morning and so I just let out YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS, sorry, to my family who were having dinner, YYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS.
I save scummed this event during the last 2 years of the age of discovery to try a Norse (ideas) Prussia game - it took 5 hours lol Then I did a Gotland game and got it within 2 years of meeting the requirements I think Gotland is actually in a prime position to get the requirements too, as their Reforming Denmark path gives them strong allies, a lot of cash from the HRE coffers, and on top of that, their ruler is both heirless and old enough to make the Talented daughter fire more frequently.
Anyone who says flipping Norse is "immersion breaking" needs to take a look in the mirror and consider why they don't have an issue with Korea conquering China and colonizing North America or the Incas invading Europe or Madagascar becoming a global power and conquering Constantinople or Ireland becoming totemist and conquering North America and Britain.. EU4 is about exploring alt-history scenarios and playing with history. We should be able to flip to Norse as any country that was once populated by Norse pagans and we should be able to have more freedom to explore other dead religions that once existed in Europe. Doing so should involve interesting mission chains for flavor, not absurd RNG. They could base a whole DLC expansion around this sort of thing.
