So how did you deal with: Siena allying with Austria and Pope Lucca allying with Genoa and Austria Ferrara allying with Venice, France and Pope Pope allying with Austria, France, Ferrara, Siena, Poland, Timurids and Ming Because this is the first month of every Florence start I've seen.
Also, make your attitude towards Lucca and Siena friendly so they're less likely to join a trade league. Also, bring in baguette to crush Genoa and Venice (like I did), the French units are always the most OP early-mid game.
Oh yeah, and for Pope, you need a reasonable amount of luck for that as well. Not gonna lie, without southern Naples and the Mediterranean Islands, my run would pretty much have been 3x harder
Half Germany was a territory of the empire and during the period of the general GERMANICUS the other half was a puppetized by the Roman Empire, and they still puppets for more then 100 years
Potato Douche I like how every european country refer himself as a roman empire even though no one of them is even close to roman empire. Only thing italy have close to roman empire is a Rome . Only thing Byzantium have close to roman empire is a rulers. Romania HRE Rum and Russia is not even a joke
Byzantium was the Eastern Roman Empire and while the Western Roman Empire collapsed to Barbarians the eastern roman empire just sat there. Also they held Rome for a bit
@@secreps Well, the Ducal family (or Marquis, dont remember well) of montferrato was a cadet branch of the Palaiologos family. So, it should be doable.
You restored Rome, congratulations! You even conquered areas that the 1st Roman Empire never conquered, too bad you ran out of time or else you could've conquered Germany. Now though, the French and British controlled large territories in the Americas which sets the stage for a future cold war.......
Nah, when you're that powerful anyone else is a joke. He could easily launch a naval invasion against a smaller colony and start expanding, eventually seizing the New World.
it's pronounced "ah yr", it's an african name, same pronounciation as "zaire" there should be a Î instead of a i, but paradox messed up the spelling, they mess up a lot of historical things, a few countries have incorrect names, flags, wonders
You are able to take so much land at even the start of the game.. Overextension and Coring costs must have ruined your country but you kept going on? How!!
Florence has really good monarch and is rich. If you get good alliances, you can quickly be unstopable. It's only real treath is the papal state as an excommunication can ruin your game. If you ally the papal controler, you are in good shape.

Pippo ne sa parecchio You know western civilization mostly comes from the Romans, right? Without Christianity, basically nothing different would have happened. Except for Northern Europe still believing in old religions and being slightly more aggressive. And maybe they wouldn't have ended up slaughtering the Native Americans of South America, but that's a good thing. The Romans before Christianity became state religion actually tolerated other religions, you know.
The final Italian idea is coring cost reduction -25%. That is incredibly strong, when it is synergized with Admin ideas. From that you gain -50% coring cost reduction by the time you have finished three idea groups. That will save you a massive amount of admin points, but also if you go with Admin you get -10% to admin tech. I am currently doing a Italy playthrough and I literally went Admin, then Defensive and then Economic. One might think that it is a bit much to go with 2 admin idea groups early and I disagree especially as Italy, because you aren't going to expand that rapidly and when you do it should be through vassals.
how did you deal with the hre lands? i dont understand how annexing Sienna, Lucca and Ferrara doesnt trigger Austria to denounce ilegal possesion of lands. what i did to not fall on that is just vassalizing opm's AND annex them later on. i know its inneficient but :/
Form a nation that surrounds the mediterranean sea and it just looks so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Color it red and name it the Roman empire and it looks even better.
You were extremely lucky with Aragon and Naples breaking away from Castille. In my try Spain was formed really quickly and now half of Italy is in their hands, I have an Alliance with them but still their lands are not available for me 😅
Italy, the Ottomans, and Russia are both just shades of green. The question becomes, which shade of green is better? This is decided through blood and iron.
Italy makes more sense to be green because the soldier uniforms have always been green, the landscapes in italy are very much green and the italian flag has green in it
I remember... first time came here, and i thought, will I be able to achive this ever? Well my dear friend of the past, you were able to do it and with byzantium even. Do never think something is imposible for you.
How in the world, were you able to take so much land from Spain, France etc., in single wars, and not get a huge amount of aggressive expansion? How were you even able to pay the admin fees to core all that land?
it's super easy, byzantium is pretty overpowered in EU4 Another thing people don't consider is that even the ottomans is allowed to form rome, I think all they need to do is become christian, which can be done easily if you accept orthodox rebels after expanding in the balkans a bit early game, and it's the easiest way to form rome by far Start as ottoman, conquer a bit of balkan land, become orthodox, use your overpowered ottoman everything to conquer the roman land, become roman empire, then you get cursed stuff like "IMPERATOR THEODOROS OSMANULU THE SECOND" as your ruler XD
How is this even possible... i tried this with milan and i suffered so much aggressive expansion that i could never take more than 2 provinces at a time without a coalition forming against me. At some point i was fighting the ottomans too, they were about the same size and i simply could never take more than 6 provinces from them. Here i see you taking like 15 provinces from the ottomans and 6 provinces from naples without any problems. Is there some strategy i am missing out on? i am quite new so i don't understand how you can take so many provinces without coalition.
Awesome. In a real scenario, reforming an empire that big would have been impossible because of constant revolution and corruption. Would have fallen just like the Mongol Empire.
I mean napoleon did it and there was no internal strife or revolt except in spain, if it had not been defeated by russia and england it would have stood the test of time Hitler also conquered an even bigger ammount of european land, but he had constant rebellions and resistance absolutely everywhere, since unlike napoleon he was more about the whole "enslave or kill everyone" and less about the "let's give everyone rights and restore rome" thing that napoleon liked to do, so understandably the third reich was a lot less stable than napoleon's empire
what version are you playing that you can take that much land after a single war?? i play the normal version without mods and i can never take more than 3-6 provinces without forming acoalition against me. even if i have conquered half the world^^
If I may make one suggestion, perhaps it would be prudent to pause the replay every so often to explain what is happening in your major wars. It adds to the story of your game and makes it easier to follow what is happening in the timelapse. These seem to be in a similar style as Dovska's timelapses, so I would suggest looking at some of the things he does for his. I wouldn't suggest going into near the depth he does unless you are really passionate about these videos, but adding some of the aspects he uses for his videos would definitely improve upon yours.
Gustav Kuriga I indeed take heavy inspiration from Dovska's videos. If you look at my past videos, they have war scenes in them. Upcoming videos should have them as well :)
I see, so this was more of an exception then? Either way, I'm glad of that. I'm also glad to see more EU4 youtubers doing timelapses of this style, as while they take more effort, are much more satisfying to watch. It feels more like you're seeing the rise of a nation rather than just someone painting across the map in a game.
Have you double-checked your army composition? I ask because mine tends to emphasize infantry even into the 1700s because it is generally better to have a large number of stacks that can operate independently and without taking huge amounts of attrition. Those stacks are incredibly weak against France or the Ottomans, though, because their stacks are always big enough to include significant artillery. If you find that your troops are just paper even in the best case, then you can always try sitting back and letting them bleed on your mountain forts until the problem is a little more tractable (i.e. someone else jumps them or their manpower simply runs out).
EU4's france is way weaker than historical france, consider that in our timeline, austria got all of spain and burgundy, controlled the HRE completely unlike how the HRE works in EU4, and that on top of being constantly invaded from all sides by the HRE, burgundy, lowlands, Spain, Austria Hungary, and the United Kingdom, despite all of that France not only survived, but also GREW and took land, even though the habsburgs+UK spent 800 years trying to invade them. Resulting in France having more military victories than any other country on earth in all of history, so it's a given france should be strong, it's very historical
Were Russia and Ottomans allies? And I'm amazed with how much land you could take each war with the ottomans, I feel it is impossible as 100% warscore only allowes 5 - 10 provinces.
What CB did you use on Naples and Scotland/Ireland or did you no CB war them?? I thought you couldn’t fab unless they were neighbouring by land or a sea tile?
For Naples, I fabricated against them (Siena shares a sea border with Naples + the Fabricating claims next to claims thing for the Discovery Age). For Scotland/Ireland, I used Imperialism.
Asmodaeus89 admin is far better. Dont need humanist if u have religious, just a waste. Humanist isnt very good imo. It looks good on the surface though.
@@Asmodaeus89 The roman empire will have around 4000 developpement, coring a province costs 10 admin mana per developpement. To core the entire roman empire you now need 40000 admin mana. The administrative idea group reduces coring cost by 25%. You now only need 30 thousand, instead of 40 thousand, by picking admin you get 10 thousand free admin points that's it, it's really stupid but a lot of the game design is Same reason innovative ideas are great if you planto play a long campaign, you get 10% tech cost on every tech a tech costs 600 mana there are 3 techs at each level, you begin at tech 3, you end at tech 32, so it's 29*3*600= 52 thousand mana So picking innovative gives you 5 thousand free mana points over the course of a full campaign Your main mana sinks will be either coring or deving, then tech, then ideas, so anything that gives discounts to those will save you a huge ammount of mana points For money, your main expense will likely be building buildings or upkeeping armies, so construction cost and unit costs modifers will save you a lot of money For manpower, if you play big empires, by far your biggest source of losses won't be wars, it will be attrition, so picking something as seemingly useless as attrition reduction can in reality save you upwards of 50 million men, depending on how big your empire is. Raw manpower modifiers are also good
From his other comments he just cycled truces that means: he had massive AE (in the hudnreds), but was at war constantly, and attacks big countries the day his truce with them ran out (they need a month tick, and usually a few days after that to join a coalition after the truce expires, if you attack the day the truce runs out, they can never join a coalition) So you need to be at war with anyone that would join a coalition constantly, but on the plus side you can separate peace people, and you don't have a -50 warscore from a coalition cassus belly, that's what he did to survive There are only 2 ways to expand anyways, either you play nice, expand slowly, expand in different corners of the map at once to spread out the AE, stay bellow 50, and get a lot of improve relation/AE modifiers OR, conquer an entire continent at once, and accept that you'll have to fight neverending wars for the next 50 hours of gameplay, those are the only two ways to grow, either you spread AE and stay under 50, or you conquer an entire continent/religion at once (countries with a different culture/religion care less if you conquer foreigners, to the point you can basically conquer all of europe and north african muslims won't even join a coalition against you, this works everywhere, and vice versa) So in small regions, it's easy to conquer everything, like africa, central america, southern america, manchuria, japan, ireland/british isles "no country can join a coalition against you if there is no country left" that's the concept

quick question, does forming Italy give you the generic Italian ideas, or the better ones that it says in the wiki?
Fluid Synergy it gives the better ones, not the crappy generic ones
okay good, I've been playing Naples into Italy and wasn't sure if I wanted to take the ideas, since they're both labeled as just Italian Ideas

Another thing people don't consider is that even the ottomans is allowed to form rome, I think all they need to do is become christian, which can be done easily if you accept orthodox rebels after expanding in the balkans a bit early game, and it's the easiest way to form rome by far
Start as ottoman, conquer a bit of balkan land, become orthodox, use your overpowered ottoman everything to conquer the roman land, become roman empire, then you get cursed stuff like "IMPERATOR THEODOROS OSMANULU THE SECOND" as your ruler XD

Were Russia and Ottomans allies? And I'm amazed with how much land you could take each war with the ottomans, I feel it is impossible as 100% warscore only allowes 5 - 10 provinces.
Machiavelli would be proud.
what is this graphics mod ?
2:50 no apostrophe is needed
AMAZING! now, get the extended timeline mod and try to take over the world... as a tiny HRE nation!
What CB did you use on Naples and Scotland/Ireland or did you no CB war them?? I thought you couldn’t fab unless they were neighbouring by land or a sea tile?
For Naples, I fabricated against them (Siena shares a sea border with Naples + the Fabricating claims next to claims thing for the Discovery Age). For Scotland/Ireland, I used Imperialism.
Lol i never take that claims bordering claims, should i?
azz79220 yea why not
azz79220 good for fabrication on large swaths of land so you don't lose too much diplo points in peace deals
What HOI4 mod is this?
Holy hell this dude raw ashell
Don't you mean the Florentine Empire?
Why did you take admin over humanist? Just curious cause I would like to learn^^
you mean religious over humanist? i personally prefer converting provinces, it's just a style choice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No I mean administrative ideas. Anyways what difficulty was this played on? VH?
Asmodaeus89 admin is far better. Dont need humanist if u have religious, just a waste. Humanist isnt very good imo. It looks good on the surface though.
Humanist IS really good, but for runs such as these you'd need admin more, as -25% core creation cost is vital in creating large empires.
@@Asmodaeus89 The roman empire will have around 4000 developpement, coring a province costs 10 admin mana per developpement.
To core the entire roman empire you now need 40000 admin mana. The administrative idea group reduces coring cost by 25%. You now only need 30 thousand, instead of 40 thousand, by picking admin you get 10 thousand free admin points
that's it, it's really stupid but a lot of the game design is
Same reason innovative ideas are great if you planto play a long campaign, you get 10% tech cost on every tech
a tech costs 600 mana
there are 3 techs at each level, you begin at tech 3, you end at tech 32, so it's 29*3*600= 52 thousand mana
So picking innovative gives you 5 thousand free mana points over the course of a full campaign
Your main mana sinks will be either coring or deving, then tech, then ideas, so anything that gives discounts to those will save you a huge ammount of mana points
For money, your main expense will likely be building buildings or upkeeping armies, so construction cost and unit costs modifers will save you a lot of money
For manpower, if you play big empires, by far your biggest source of losses won't be wars, it will be attrition, so picking something as seemingly useless as attrition reduction can in reality save you upwards of 50 million men, depending on how big your empire is. Raw manpower modifiers are also good
What a pro
How do you deal with AE? That shit was frustating for me.
From his other comments he just cycled truces
that means: he had massive AE (in the hudnreds), but was at war constantly, and attacks big countries the day his truce with them ran out (they need a month tick, and usually a few days after that to join a coalition after the truce expires, if you attack the day the truce runs out, they can never join a coalition)
So you need to be at war with anyone that would join a coalition constantly, but on the plus side you can separate peace people, and you don't have a -50 warscore from a coalition cassus belly, that's what he did to survive
There are only 2 ways to expand anyways, either you play nice, expand slowly, expand in different corners of the map at once to spread out the AE, stay bellow 50, and get a lot of improve relation/AE modifiers
OR, conquer an entire continent at once, and accept that you'll have to fight neverending wars for the next 50 hours of gameplay, those are the only two ways to grow, either you spread AE and stay under 50, or you conquer an entire continent/religion at once (countries with a different culture/religion care less if you conquer foreigners, to the point you can basically conquer all of europe and north african muslims won't even join a coalition against you, this works everywhere, and vice versa)
So in small regions, it's easy to conquer everything, like africa, central america, southern america, manchuria, japan, ireland/british isles
"no country can join a coalition against you if there is no country left"
that's the concept
