3 province minor? No. Byzantium is a 3 province Empire.
That once ruled whole Europe.
Fuck yeah.
3 Province Roman Empire
+LuVedBR That was Germany.
+hughn dicarian "Germany was part of the Roman Empire."
Oh, you have no idea how painful that was to read.
Yeah.... that popped up in my alerts and I had to read it three times before I realized the person was just stupid.
'Hey Serbia, you wanna buy some ships?'
'Sure, how many you got?'
'Five.'
'Gimme three, and you got a deal.'
'Okay, three it is.'
'On second thought, better make it two.'
'Umm, okay, here's two ships.'
'Ah, think I'll only take one now I think about it.'
'Err...yeah...one ship. Happy now?'
'Give me one less ship and we'll definitely have a deal.'
>:(
Take a look at that EU4 map.
Oops.
Who will win?
The ottoman empire or...
one nostalgic boi
Well, Arumba, you've started something that actually interests me for the first time in over a year.
Yeah I was starting to think he wouldn't come back to some good old eu4 at all! His Mamluk and Poland campaigns just felt like fillers
I love watching him go for a solid goal when playing.
"I will play the first episode kinda slow"
And that's by Arumba standards? Hooo boy.
Ninaran is he going back in time to do this?
The Basileus achievement actually isn't as crazy as the Steam description makes it sound. It's actually just reconquering the Byzantine lands, not the entirety of the Roman Empire. At least, it was when I did it shortly before the Cradle of Civilisation patch. That said, if the campaign goes well you could try and snowball Basileus into Mare Nostrum
Petite Wolf yeah the description is really weird, it's says reform the roman empire, but you don't have to form the roman empire. You basically need all of anatolia
It should have said restore the eastern Roman Empire
Petite Wolf I got this achievement and went away for like 2 hours leaving the ottomans as like an OPM or something and when I came back after going to the shop, they had taken all of Egypt and were OP again :L
@@tylerbennett4488 you... Just let your game run? Wtf
Omg, he's doing it. The absolute madman!

KEBAB, Constantinople was easy conquest and at a time quite a crap city with population of 30000 a far cry from its byzantine and ottoman heights.
Thank god
I was missing your eu4 letsplay
Good luck with ottoblob
SO happy to see EU4 again!
Finally, Arumba has come BACK to doing EU4 achievement runs! Still hoping to see him try a Caddo or Wichita one tag run.
Arumba actively saying something is going to be starting off slow. I imagine it’ll be 1450 by part 20
Aldrane7 Nope, part 5
Boy am I hyped to see this! Definetely worth the wait!
I remember my BYZ campaigns like it was yesterday. Best game of EU4 I have ever played. Its a good achievement to go for and by some black magic I managed to get it on my third try. If I may give a tip it would be to try and reach the caucuses and take the orthodox land there. If you can get there you can get some of the clay you will need to fight the turks.
Selling my Navy is 100% the opposite of what i do in every Byzantium game, but selling it to your vassal is actually quite the brilliant idea to get the best of both worlds, the extra money and the ships. Never expected to catch anything useful after having done so many campaigns. Way to go Arumba :D.
Edit: the only caveat would be that your vassal tends to be pretty dumb when you declare on the ottomans and gets his boats killed often, still a good consideration though.
Looking forward to another campaign - thanks for sharing! Byzantium has been getting a lot of love lately... and from the devs as well obviously. Byzantium games are normally fun though so no complaints from me! Excited to follow along while still completing my own campaign as The Netherlands. Maybe I'll play as Byzantium next, haha.
Good to see EU4 back again!
Finally! I love the difficult starts!
Love you Arumba, this series will be great! Liked.
Finally some EU4! CK2 is amazing but the abbasid adventure just didn't catch me as other of your CK2 series
Agreed, the abbasid adventure was a bit to stale for my taste
I’m actually really excited for this campaign. I’m much bigger fan of the vanilla campaigns and the underdog countries like Ryukyu so this is gonna be dope
Yes Arumba EU4! And going for an achievement I'm currently working on myself as well! Good luck
I'm excited for this campaign. Honestly I haven't followed EU4 for the last few patches, but I don't feel completely lost
7:25 The most un-arumba thing I ever heard in my life
Basileus achievement has existed since 2013.
Hello, for some reason I stopped watching Arumba recently. About a year ago I would watch like 70% of his videos. It's been months since I last watched, and its good to be back.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS CK2 GOD BLESS YOU ARUMBA
Arumba, just play the way you've been playing for years. That's why most of us watch you. I don't understand why people complain and try to get you to play differently. (Seems a bit rude to me) There are plenty of other channels out there. I'm sure they can find someone who plays the way they like.
The series I have been waiting for since purple phoenix.
Go for Mare Nostrum!
Ottomans allied with Crimea and Ag Qoyunlu, Dev Clash confirmed
Your EU IV series are my favorite
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS ANOTHER ARUMBA EU4 SERIES
Make Byzantium great again!
New Arumba series that I actually want to watch FeelsGoodMan
In before strait blocking strats.
How to win as Byzantium:
Step 1: Build a crap ton of galleys (Go over force limit)
Step 2: Go to war with Venice and take Euboea
Step 3: Once you have Euboea, try to
-move your capital to Euboea (optional), or build a fort in Euboea
-train some mercenaries in Euboea
-Anything that attracts attention from the Ottoman forces
Step 4: Get as many allies and wait for Ottomans to declare on you, or declare on the Ottomans yourself
Step 5: Try to bait most of the ottoman forces in moving to Euboea
Step 6: Pull our your navy and trap them in Euboea
Step 7: You win the war as long as the Ottomans doesn’t have powerful allies :)
Heavies only dude not Galleys...
A possible problem with that strat is what if the Ottomans split their army, and only send half to Euboea?
I just start sieging provinces on the Anatolian side and wait for Venice to destroy high WE ottomans
The Byzantine navy roflstomps the ottomans if you spam galleys or build a few heavies, FYI.
Arumba play in slow mode = 1 year in 12 episodes
This series got me to resub, and I sorely missed your videos
;-; tears of happiness
i don't think the turk ever had cores on blurple. They only had cores on the Sunni minors in Anatolia so now they are more likely to take the city of worlds desire mission first and attack byzantine first
tuckerthebana yeah the core is a decision
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and this was something I was really hoping you would do! Keep being awesome!
PLEASE finish this campaign, we all love byz campaigns.......especially from u Arumba ;)
Yay! Was hoping for a cool achievement run in cradle of civilization, as in the heart of the middle east. The mamluk play through made me sad when it stopped, and him not jumping on killing the ottomans. Would of been a great achiv where the mamluks over take the ottos. But any EU4 play though makes me happy! Was thinking you stopped playing EU4 or something arumba!
Arumba i will be very disapointed if you don't also try and go for Mare Nostrum.
20:00 -- Scumbag RNG: "Here's a 5/2/3/1 general. Good luck, you're gonna need him."
the achievement is one of the founding achievements i think of the game coming out 5 years ago
"Don't want to worry about disputed sex" - Arumba, 2018.4:30
You know arumba is beloved when the video is up for a day with 2000 likes and literally only 8 dislikes.
Damn, this is the EU4 campaign I've been waiting for...
last time i pulled of a succesfull byz game (sometime after the strait crossing rework, that you can't just cut off the ottomans by having naval supremacy.)
i managed to pull off a win with the help of albania, serbia and hungary. the amazing albanian general at the head of the hungarian army pretty much won the war for me.
i recomend getting military acces from an ally and hiding your troops in their land btw
He's back
Frankly, the rivaling system is bad. Try starting a game as Poland, historical friend of Hungary, where Hungary hasn't rivaled you. Good Luck. Now, quit, and start a new game as Lithuania, and watch as every game you start as them, Hungary rivals you, and barely rivals Poland.
Now start as either the Teutonic order or Denmark, and watch Hungary rival you half the time, and not rival Poland or Lithuania.
Now, start as Baden, and watch the Teutons rival you, for some fucking reason.
Point being, day one rivals are terrible. Early game is predictable as all hell because of it. If anything, in this game about alt history, nations should only set rivals on day 2.
or like how you are great power in europe (like germany) with no influence or anything to do with anywhere else in the world, and get rivaled by some indian kingdom.
@@Tomthemadone got rivaled by Ming in 1680 as Austria because I allied huge Ming rivaling Transoxiana ;/
Actually some voluteers from Venice came to help the Byzantie, but in EU4 they always rival you.
@@The-Marinho wasnt it genoans who helped the byzantines
All you need are strong allies and a strong galley navy. Don't forget a lot of luck!
You can beat the Ottos right from the start by allying albania calling them in promising land and having their god tier general attach to your army, it takes a lot of micro but its a much faster and decisive blow to the Turks.
You can also ally Albania, and get drawn in to a war against the Ottomans with Hungary and Albania on your side, and pick up a lot of land.
I missed Arumba. I did not watch him for the last 2 years. I am happy to return with Byzantium series.
Finally More EU4!
I'm pretty sure it will become easier in the next patch when they rework the missions.
All the claims that Byzantium gets (so pretty much all europe) will be permanent claims.
In ck2 Byzantium should have cores on all roman land
this is the first like after 2015 video ive watched of you and damn son your voice has changed
So this is the yt channel all the drama is connected to. Don't worry, i just come for the acheivement
*Slaps top of Athens*
This baby can fit so many galleys in it.
alright Arumba ive gotten back into EU4 gl!
Interesting decision to get rid of the navy, as blocking the Ottomans with ships has been the best way to deal with them as Byzantium. I've been playing as Theodoro and usually we manage to defeat the Crimea/Ottoman navy with the help of Trebizond / Byzantium. I'm curious to see how this strategy plays out.
Same I did my BYZ/Theodoros/Trbizond achievements by beating the Ott with the straights and galleys I never tried something else! So curious to see how he'll manage to do it
I had maybe like 8 or 9 galleys but a pretty decent admiral who was like 4/2/X/X...
I know some players prefer heavies in early but it's kinda too expansive for my economy imo...
AI is not very smart so you can easily beat them by taking them when they're not grouped!
It's pretty true! It requires less attention for winning but you have to use a province for like two years without building anything and the maintenance cost is so expansive when galley is just 0,04 ducat a month... which is basically less than nothing..
I may said an error but I think it's the big difference betwenn DDRJake and MrFlorryWorry
you don't sound happy anymore...you sound tired, and I am sorry
wtf
Why are you sorry? What did you do to him?
@@pemiem33 He didn't like and Sub
ARUMBA
You don't need to restore the Roman empire to get the achievement. Just anatolia and greece. Not sure if that is your personal goal or what.
medieval-europedoteu gives you another option to play as the Byzantine
Empire. Starting in the early 14th century, the starting position is
still a little better than it is in EU IV
OMG GOGO BYZANTIUM! RESTORE THE BASILEIA TON RHOMAION
Basileia ton Rhomaion* (the Empire of the Romans, not the Empire (genitive with no article) Romans
Mersii broski
Am uitat sa pun ton ul :))
arthegor =)))))))
Why did you, why did you, why did you, WHYYY. Why did you start campaign as a Byzantium before the new patch? It’ll add new missions system that will have unique missions for Byzantium.
New missions are gonna be for everyone...
Octavian Blaga Yup, but Byzantium will have a unique set
they have been there for some years now, only to actually take them was quite hard to archieve, since they often didn't appear.
Absent [Heivland] every country will have a unique set... Every country is unique.
Not every country. Some will have generic missions ;D
Weird timing to start an EU4 game, considering there is a major patch coming soon
Omg:O im so happy:-D moar eu4 yes...
Oh thank GOD! Someone who knows how to play the game showing us how to do Byzantium in the current patch!
RoverStorm go watch budgetmonk lol
BudgetMonk119 is the guy that figured out a Byzantium run on the current patch back in November. I very much recommend his LP.
Preston Coleman It's interesting Arumba didn't go for the Imerti alliance in this run. If you improve with Imerti you can ally and royal marry them; and almost ensures you get a PU over Imerti because they have no heir and start very old (that's what Georgia got).
I believe having 3 heavies is enough to beat down the ottoman fleet in the early game
3 could possibly do it, but 4 secures it.
Florryworry tactics?
SoulCrusher669 You can actually just build three galleys and can take on their navy, if you use an admiral.
They removed the Gally fighting power in the Mediterranean?
go broke and go 5, you can get rid of them
FOR THE ROMAN EMPIRE
woot more EU4!
Last bysatium you did kept me occupied for the whole series. This one's gonna be even better since you have to conquer the whole Mediterranean sea for the event to kick in, usually you just loose interest after the initial difficulties are overcome.
I'm totally onboard with this campaign, hope it doesn't get scrapped halfway though.
"I will probably be playing quite slow."
Oh god, is this going to be like TTM streams where you get 1.5 years an hour?
Sounds good to me :)
You can tell it's been a long time of CK'ing when Arumba refers to his monarch and heir as "characters".
Arumba FlorryWorry use 5 heavies and killed the entire fleet all you have to do is trap their armies on EUBOEA and you can kill the ottomans and put Athens onto scuttage and get access to that island so you can park your army there and bait them there
I really enjoy the campaigns! Two-a-days maybe!?
It's fine we heal
OMG HE DID IT!! ARUMBIAN BYZANTIUM!
Hurrah another EU4 campaign
Don't forget about new crossing rules.
I’m playing my first successful Byzantium campaign right now! The best strategy is to use the strait blocking strategy.
Oh god the nostalgia. I had a byzantine game where i was able to ally hungary and Poland, beat the turks, and eventually got a massive empire (minus 1/2 of spain) and had a personal union over russia with a large colony in much of the new world.
Guess who's back, back again
early game byzantium navy can easily rape otto navy with heavy and galley spam and its relatively cheap
why heavy? you're deep in the mediteranean, galleys should do the trick
Bart De Bock just a 1-3 heavies just to turn the tide of naval battles in your favour 100%
helo walt
Ah but first you must beat the ottomans and take edirne as you cannot stop a crossing unless you have occupied or own the other side.
or do the negroponte strategy
Hey Arumba, have you seen the new stuff on patch 1.25? What’s your opinion on the new Mission system?
0:15 and i am happy to see a eu4 campain
A better strat i tried a while ago was rivaling Venice, picking up the mision Reconquest Asia Minora(basically form Greece) and after that, i’d buy 2 heavy ships and a few galleys and a cog, then i’d conquest the Corfu fort and the one near athens. And then do the trapping (blocading fort do they cannot return from that province. Also. If you have 2 heavy ships and if you are careful when YOU declare the war on otomans you’d almost always be able to pick up around 5 of their separated galleys around konstantinopole. Which would basically win you the naval game. After that. All you need is blocading corfu and the prov near athens so they are stuck. 9 armies (or 8 and a few from athens) and them you’d just siege em up. But watch out for war exhaution. sue for peace, and get a good piece of land which would allow you to sustain more army and ships. And that’d be the fall of the otoman empire and the rise of the mighty Byzantine empire 😏
adrian gaming just started a byzantium game but for mare nostrum like an hour ago, wow. keep playing though ofcourse
HUZZAH!
Arumba you can compete against their navy if you build a lot of galleys and a few heavy .. picking them out when they’re separated is the key ...
I’m ready
I missed your glorious voice
YOOOOOOO SO HYPED FOR A NEW EU4 CAMPAIGN 😭😭
I’m sooooo damn pumped for this
Thing is you can compete with the Ottomans, especially since they will take losses from Venice. A single heavy and as many gallies as you can afford can keep the Turk locked up in his ports.
