    In this video titled EU4 A to Z - The Knights Are The HARDEST START IN THE GAME I play as The Knights in Europa Universalis 4 1.34 Lions of The North. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of The Knights and I attempt to make The Ottomans not exist. So, let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series.

      Unless I'm mistaken, reconquest wars make you pay bird mana to take any claims that you have, as well as costing more war score to take those claims in the peace deal. Not saying that it's always better than reconquest, but I'm pretty sure it's sometimes the better of the two under the right circumstances.

    Edit: They have another mission that almost never triggers because the Ottomans needs to control Alexandria before a certain point too.

    Getting Malta early allows for a second province to recruit mercy while Rhodes I building ships.

    I did Knights run a few days ago to get all the achievements they have. To avoid fighting Otto at the beginning, I went full exploration and expansion, moved capital to Bermuda, build my powerbase in Caribbean, conquered Mexico and then started conquering Tunis, rest of Mamluks and then the Ottomans finally. The hardest thing on the end wasn't fighting Ottomans but fighting the Austria with Russia PU and massive France with Spain PU.

    Key for knights game is taking Constantinopoli same time when you take Morea. As Catholic nation (stronk allies) with ability to raid, beating Ottomans are easy as they are locked in mission tree as they need Constantinopoli for that.
    If you can beat Ottomans as Byzantium, you can do it as Knights, if started correctly (like allying Epirus, promise some land for war againts byzantium and use them as stepping stone for Morea and then take all lands for yourself).

    Red, responding your question on how Ottomans went bankrupt.
    From the Economy wiki: "the maximum number of loans are limited to when your total interest equals your monthly income"
    From the Warfare wiki: "All [occupied] province income and trade power is no longer given to the owner"
    Meaning, if you fully occupy a country long enough that they run out of whatever cash they had on hand (drop below 0 ducats), the country immediately goes bankrupt, even if they only had one loan.

    I don't think The Knights are the absolute HARDEST start in the game. I think that honor goes to Mali. Especially since The Knights can get malta for free and can land an alliance with Venice and Aragon relatively easily. BUT, with that being said, their proximity to the Ottomans when they're at their strongest is absolutely horrid. But their ideas are fantastic for both naval and land combat especially when taking Jerusalem. As always GREAT VIDEO HAWK!
