  • Today I am playing as Latvia. No Step Back has added a new focus tree that lets us create a pagan nation with lots of military buffs. We're going to turn pagan and beat up some neighbours. Let me know what you like and don't like about the video. Also what should I play next?

    No Step Back is here!
    Rules:
    - Play as Latvia
    - Go Pagan
    - Conquer
    - Ironman
    - Historical
    What did I do wrong, what did I do right? What should my next challenge be? Let me know in the comments.

      Close, I think I can understand what you where trying to say. Is English a second language?
      Sorry if I'm being presumptuous, I'm not trying to be mean. It's missing just a bit of context, do you mean to say the countries next to the one he starts with? He normally doesn't do civil wars or get annexed himself.

      He already did a video on Greece's BFTB focus tree where he formed Byzantium, and it didn't receive any notable updates with NSB's patch (it did get an update that allows Romania to cancel it's guarantee of Turkey if Democratic Greece goes for the Megali Idea, but that was before NSB dropped).
      I'm not saying that he doesn't have any reason to revisit the Greek focus tree (he hasn't done a video on the other 2 formable nations Greece has - Greater Greece and the Macedonian Empire - and I think the former could be interesting if he went for it as a non-democratic Greece), but I'm not seeing much of a reason to revisit Byzantium specifically, unless he added another challenge (i.e., Cataphract Byzantium - form the nation using only cavalry and heavy tanks).

    I think the Memel focus and others like that either still ask the original owner (in this case Lithuania) or they just default to yes.
