Need a guide for Ottawa - I can never get my alliances or economy sorted out by the time England arrives and wipes me!
how about ardabil
Would love an Austria guide!
Genoa would be sweet
Maxandran into Iran
On a side note: If Provence is your vassal/PU and you're allied to the Pope, you can just ask the Pope to give Avignon to it via Return Cores for Favors.
There is a small trick with the reline the bombards mission. In the case of OG Jean Bureau dies before he can win that 4 battles, you can just recruit and rename a new general to the same name.
That's a great trick to know
An exploit / bug that needs to be patched.
@belphegor_tv yeah because randomly getting locked out of a complete branch of your mission tree is the intended result, right?
DAMN!

47:42 if you use the return cores tab in a reconquest war, returning a different country's cores counts as a justified demand and doesn't cost the extra diplo points.
Yeah, he wasted a lot of dip points there.

You can call Scotland in the first war by promising land then letting England destroy them and separate peacing them out. Hell you can repeat this in your second war with them, they'll be small enough to vassalise and you can reconquer their cores
You might want to split warscore cost between England and Scotland but it’s viable
You didn't use the best feature of the appanages - You can steal their heir! In the diplo menu with them, you can look at their heir and if they are strong, you can ask them to become your heir. This guarantees very strong rulers during the first 50 years of the game
First Ludi, and now RedHawk. I swear, if Laith drops a France video, I'm gonna move to Bordeaux.
Could be wrong, but I think Redhawk trolls Ludi by posting similar videos.
@@rge24491 Might not even be a troll, he just sees the opportunity. If Ludi releases a video there's likely a lot of people that decide to play France after watching it, but don't know how. Giving Redhawk a huge market to make a guide for
Bordeaux is a nice city you can come without joking
@@maximealarcon1234I’m not sure that was the point of the joke mon ami
@@lukefield3879 Either way, it is good for the community and the creators because the algorithm will detect people watching videos related to this game and push it to others.
47:42 Using the return core option in the peace deal lets you return Wales’ cores back with no diplo cost. Any reconquest war always allows you to return anyone’s cores for 0 diplo
Edit: Cinnayan was first
Another tip: dev up Caux to 15 dev to get faceting (if you have embraced renaissance and faceting hasn't spawned already).
Also if you wait too long to attack Milan, you often lose the CB when they switch to a military dictatorship. so sometimes it is worth it to fight the emperor
I always thought that Ducal Ring event was just another LOTR easter egg, but apparently Louis XI actually had the ring smashed by a hammer to signify that the dutchy would no longer exist.
LOTR has many Easter eggs of the real history.
Nice guide Hawk!
I should play as France once more for the new stuffs since last time I play as France was years ago
Great guide, it was fun to watch!
Haven't had the time to spin up a game, thanks for running my preferred start 🇫🇷
Please do Ardabil->Persia or Karabakh->Armenia please I’m begging
Great guide, thanks
Since you struggle with governing capacity in the early game, I wouldn't trade company everything in Safi and Tunis like you said, only trade company provinces with high trade power to save on governing capacity, especially since Safi is hard to transfer into your home trade nodes until you control more of Iberia.
When you take get the cores on naples, leave one province as a vassal so you reconquest sicily as well
Tip: Wait for the Surrender of Maine event to fire before you declare. If England declares thats great, as you are now in a defensive war. If they choose to cede the province, declare on them BEFORE clicking on the decision. You will get Maine for free while still in the war with England.
exploit /bug that needs to be patched. kinda trash way to play
@@Luke.-cv9uv kinda rude to call it a "trash way to play"... everyone has their own play style . Some people don't like save scumming, but plenty do.
@@greenchair5615 just use cheat engine at that point
Hey man love all your guides. I would love to see a guide for the colonial route for Britain !
Honestly you can also take the Gascony mission before peacing out. I would say it depends on the Call for Peace. Getting like 5 War exhaustion or more while waiting additional years for the peace deal is not worth it. By getting back your cores earlier, you also generate a lot of manpower and money. The earlier you peace out, the earlier your aggressive expansion ticks down and the earlier you can expand even more.
I did the Crusader path (in 1.35 but it didn't change a lot, for France) and I actually quite like having a big Kingdom of Jerusalem march (owning Egypt and the Levant) as well as a Latin Empire one owing the Balkans and Anatolia. Latin Empire can be formed via mission by Cyprus which is easy enough to diplo-vassalise after the conquest of Jerusalem. Bonus point: Thew are French primary culture already!
Also you get Northern Italy at the end when the Pope becomes your march so I was ok with losing the Milan PU. You can get the Savoyard lands by giving the lands to the Pope, seizing one province (like Nizza), then releasing Savoy as vassal and asking the Pope to cede the cores to Savoy this way. Sure it takes more time but you don't pay any agressive expension this way (if you gave the Savoyard lands to the Pope when it wasn't a subject).
Seems like the UK conquest was a little backwards. Could’ve gotten the London area claim right away with some heavy ships. Then the London Calling mission gives you claims on the rest of England.
What about leaving Naples with one province and vassalizing them in order to use their cores on sicily and malta?
At the start I find it is better to take Ceuta, money, and war reps from Portugal in a separate peace deal. This still allows you to take your cores back from England, Pale, and usually war reps and some money as well. In my second war against England I give Calais to Burgundy if the succession has not already fired so they core it up for me.
@TheRedHawk in one of your last videos you asked about an idea for claim bordering claim. Thats the combination of Infrastructure and Influence.
Royal Marriage with Orleands direct when game start to remove 5% of their liberty desire. Keeps them in line.
AQ/QQ guide would be nice. I don't even play EU4, I just like watching these videos.
just yesterday i was thinking hm i wonder if he will do an updated france guide… and here we are
I love your videos n.n
Do you need the new dlc to follow this guide or should I use the previous 1.35 guide ?
I love just getting a burgundy Ally and just feeding it land in Switzerland Italy lowlands and Germany so that both France and burgundy are great powers and then have the inheritance come to make a giga France
You used my provence strat!
I'm playing as aragon, its year 1549, but both the option to form spain military and diplomatcally are not showing in the national decisions. I had my capital on the low lands to prevent the dutch revolt, but i've moved it back to barcelona and still its not avaible for me to click. i checked al the requirements and its everything ok
I wonder how many restarts you had to not have BUR as a rival :V
Took me more than 15
It's pretty unlikely in my games, but you can go to war with one of their allies and cancel the rivalry against you in the peace deal. If you just cancel the rivalry, it's pretty easy to make them friendly after that.
Big Blue Blob HYPE
what graphics mod do you use
Appanage is a fun word to say.
how would you deal with the religious reformation as france tho when everything starts to flip protestant
How do you get to Ceuta? Portuguese ships get there faster every single time.
Where do i find the save games? I joined but i cant find them in the discord.
Do you plan on making a Danish guide for 1.36?
Idk if u know cos u also mentioned the ccr when u did the muscovy guide but permanent claims give u 25% ccr so u rly should've taken london to get claims on all britain so u could conquer it cheaper
My economy sucks early as France. I was just in a spiral of losing money, taking more loans, and then having to renew my loans and get a higher inflation rate.
Literraly had Jean Barreau dying on the first battle with the English...
If you name a general the same you can still trigger the mission
@@xxrazzxx3779 ... No way?
How did you make your map look like that? I love the font.
It’s called the graphical improvements mod or something like that, it’s like the most popular mod in eu4
33:07 You dont need to call in Scotland to avoid being blackflagged, simply Mil Access & Alliance is enough to not being blackflagged. You would however get Blackflagged there if you only had Mil Access & No Alliance
Burgundy not your rival . I started over 23 times and not once did that happen.
Tip: invade them and then force unrival yourself. Works 80% of the time
can you do an Aztec Guide, it would be very helpfull
Step #1 for playing the Aztecs: Alt+f4
Also, I do not understand why people use "Increased Levies". This will add some grunts, yes, but this will keep the influence of the nobility high forever.
Please an Ardabil into Persia guide I’m begging you
when i start with France and try this starting strategy always get beat up by england and portugal, or I lose ceuta, theres something that gets bad everytime.
“Minor allies” and they allied with Austria in my game
Bruh in my campaign england started expanding in ireland even though i took pale, castile declared on naples for unification so i had to declare was to try to take as much as i can. But they reached the capital first . Then burgundy chose to stay independent. AAAAAAAAAAH
I always struggle in the start because provence always gets into like 20 wars and calls me in. if i accept i get destroyed while england and portugal recover and destroy me too. if i reject, provence gets eaten by pope and burgundy. also, how is your war enthusiasm always high? mine becomes low in the first 3 months of the war...
What mods are you using love the map!
I was never able to follow this guide, the first war with England is incredibly tough. I know you wanna try to cut off the Portugese stacks before they make it up to the English, but often the English will just transport their men down to Iberia and then fight me at full strength, can't stack wipe them there. They then go up and consolidate in Normandy, taking everything possible and moving down while you're sieging down Portugal's 3 forts. By the time you make it back up North to their armies, they will have taken your Paris fort and maybe the one in Haut-Poitu. My point is that it may be easier to start the war with the English with the Surrender of Maine event, this makes England the aggressor and gives them no time to prepare. Their allies will not be called in, and yours will such as Castile. This easily allows you to roll over the English mainland, as you already control the mainland and allows you to get up to 80% warscore easily. This is after running at least 4-5 times with trying to take everything in a war vs England with you as the aggressor. If they choose to surrender Maine, can't you just alt-F4? They didn't seem to care when I had the Papal State and Castille as allies, they tried to fight me anyway and I easily took the advantage.
This guide has more girth than France in EU4
Dutch Revolt is an inconsequential event you just need to use one stack of 20k ish troops to contain the revolts
The Dutch independence war that fires immediately:
@@tanker00v25 it seems to be random during the disaster
@@Brakiros nah, every time the diasaster fired for me it expanded into an independence war regardless of what I did. The worst part is that even with maximum war score I could never take back all of my cores in a single war
@@tanker00v25 I think it's based on your rivalries because i've only ever had the independence war fire from the disaster once. Every other time it's been me just stepping on rebels. I am assuming that the power players in history get pop ups so France, Austria, Spain and Britain so if you're rivaled to them there's a good chance that the war will pop up instead of the actual disaster
@@Brakiros then why are they not a part of the war? 3 times out of 5 the Dutch were completely on their own and without an army (because I already crushed the initial rebellion)
For me, this strategy doesn't work on normal difficulty. The first war is always a total disaster. Either I lose the war outright or I have to take out dozens of loans. I hate it to take loans. ll try again on "very easy" and I'll skip the expansion in Ireland and North Africa completely.
Burgundy is the chad sister of France, Lotharingia rules!!
i've been savescumming for inharitance for like couple hours by now xd how the hell do I get it? it always goes to emperor xd
u need very good relations and more prestige than austria
2024 doesant seem to work in 2024 re 1.37
France is the best
Vive la france❤
Great Britain and Ireland should have more provinces to accurately represent the regions, and more puppets. It's always so lame seeing what you can release from England.
England never calls portugal into the war D:
Always remember Guys we are currying favors with Provence to increase their trust
:D
Why not a seperate peace with Portugal. More Money and prestige for you
Okay thx
The best France starts as Provence…
just for RP purposes i'd rather eat the rebels than move capital.
Tried doing this, England allied Austria and castile+portugal. Lol
Just restart until england rivals austria
Red you should just pre-record a "don't accept a RM from Burgundy" bit and insert it in every relevant video instead of having to say it in every guide lol.
The amusing part is that it doesn't matter if you send or accept it as france.
Unfortunately this strategy clearly doesn't work if England allies Burgundy, I got full-sieged before i could full-siege Portugal.
personally I think it is a bad strat for the war. otherwise good but... Just take all England's land first then go for Portugal. don't let them mindlessly devastate your land. also If you ally scotland for the first war england will likely not even land you. in that case you beat up burgundy first in that situation. otherwise occupy the land and then march on portugal.
hey man, i don’t understand why you should expand in maghreb, so early, as france
It's free land
Didn't work, stackwiped by a 30k army in portugal.
I actually hate the French mission tree. Most early ones involve a) like literal hours of waiting on your diplomats, b) spending mana you don't have to develop early, before you have stability and dev discounts c) blobbing and that's boring
"I don't like developing, diplomacy or blobbing"
You don't like EU4 then
your accent has always baffled me - where are you from originally? Or how did you learn english?
Tbh i dislike how you treat the dutch revolt going for the easy but wasteful option... The adm points to move capital arent worth it... Just deal with the rebels, its not like you dont have the armies or manpower to do it...
You just wanted to play a nice nation for a change didn’t you
england just walked down to ceuta and stack wiped me castille offered out like 20k condottieri france is so weak its insane
You kidding? France is super powerful
Burgundy/Castile keep rivaling England every single game on top of Portugal... France is just unplayable for me this patch
Another france? C'mon you havent even made a 1.36 forming iran guide yet
I don't understand why you and ludi always open with estates. i don't think you should ever do estates until after your first war. Influence dictates how much crownland you get back. if you have a novermerb 1444 war you should just hand out the monarch points and maybe if you can do it for cheep get enough to make all estates trend toward 50 loyalty (but never exceed 50 percent influence as that way they can gain land rather than loose it when you take land) then get back up to nearly full in the first war. I also generally hold off on hitting that give me a mission button until the first war is done for the same reason (it give all of the estates influence.
Especially big deal as France. at 86 influence you need one or two bad events to have a disaster. way way too risky.
yo england allied venice for me wtf
now they allied austria
avg ai play
if you think you'll post a france guide every update and i'll watch, it's %100 right.
1h??? big guide
I cannot comprehend how RUclipsrs like him just simple siege down and win war super fast, I did exactly what he asked and it took me way more time just to siege down portugal. then i turn to france and my whole country is occupied and I have 0 manpower. how the hell am i supposed to take back my whole country when i have no manpower and the whole of portugal and england armies.
Same. Exact same scenario as him...
You have 15% devastation in Caen and you delete fort lmao😂😂😂
France has an extremely boring start. You spend a bunch of time reigning in vassals that shouldn't even be vassals. You don't have a lot of good missions and don't have enough governing capacity to expand early. It's a LOT of waiting around
Last thing i was expecting was another France guide. What about all the nations you didn't cover in Domination? Why France even after doing a guide for 1.35?
Because it gets clicks and traction to his channel. The game is the game
🇨🇵
supply and demand
Why you so mad?
The 1.35 guide still works, i did a playthrough recently
