amazing that the challenge was essentially completed with an accurately old palpatine, andyou could argue its even better with the young heir anakin taking over as the video ends
As Palawa become the best Pal: Get 10 Allies to 100 Trust, 8 Diplo Rep, accept all call to arms, and defeat a Great Power with using only allies and mercs
That's amazing how our Boy Ludwig the IV of Wittelsbach really outtshined Palpatine in every way : starting as a relatively minor prince, he clawed his way on the diplomatic game until he became empror, from which he ruled with strength, destroying the electors who opposed him and replacing them with his allies. He became the king-empror of Milan, Burgundy and Bohemia, and mercilessly tore through the foundations of the old empire. As the aging king became a force to be reckoned with, only one nation dared to opposed him : the french, full of pride and envy. But the old king knew the way : he waited for them to appear weak, and Europe marched against them. With his rival humiliated, nothing opposed the dark empror : he reclaimed the old capital, and promised to restore it to the beauty it once had. At this point, he had outlived several of his heirs, and rulers saw him as this fortress, whose shadow was upon them since childhood. But the empror did not care. When the Lutherans revolted, the paper never made it past the gates of Aachen, for the empror was discussing his final maaterpiece : conquest of the heatens from the other side of the sea. He called the Crusade, and emerged victorious, cementing his reputation as a legend. At the age of 81, the old king now nicknamed "The grandfather of Europe" finally died. His life of cunning diplomatic gains and his military genius mad the Holy Palatine Empire the uncontested master of Europe, ruling from Aachen, the Last Rome
@@efulmer8675 yea but really they should be more common imo, like if you complete a whole mission tree of reconquering the rhine or whatever palatine's was and you have the same ruler the whole time that should be boosting their mil stats for sure, and things like becoming hre emperor should increase admin or dip. Or even without missions really, if a ruler just fails to avert a disaster like not making oirat a ming tributary for example, the stats should just more commonly change to match the prestige of what a ruler has or hasnt accomplished. Its just weird when you have a whole golden era like this and a 60 year emperor whos stats are godawful yet he's amazing at everything anyway lol
29:16 fun thing is those traits are kinda Palpatine’s traits: So bold he fought the top Jedi masters and won. Sinner for Dark side of the force and perfectionist for big probably overpaid constructions like the Death Star. All aligned
4:40 the bavarian Lozeng (diamond shapes) flag comes from some place in Bavaria and was adopted by the Wittelsbach family in the Middle Ages and they basically made it their family sigil
That some place is actually where I went to secondary school - it was the emblem of the counts of Bogen a very small town in rural lower Bavaria (would be in the province of Straubing in EU4). Anyway this dynasty went extinct in 1242 and the possessions as well as the emblem went to the Bavarian Duke. English wikipedia is actually lacking in that regard as it doesn't tell the whole story but search and translate the article on the "Grafen von Bogen" to fact check
i study history in Heidelberg (capital of the Palatinate in EU4) and we had a course of the coat of arms of the dynasty of Wittelsbach. The squares and the lion originally were both symbols of the whole dynasty, but it seperated over the years -> squares became the typical symbol of the bavarian Wittelsbachs, which is still seen in todays official documents and in the flag; while the lion became the typical symbol of the Wittelsbachs of the Palatinate and still is represented in the city flag or in symbols all over the region :)
In my opinion one of the best if not the best A to Z. It was incredibile to see what you managed to accomplish in such a short amount of time. We will always remember Ludwig the IV, long last his empire!
EZ dub. I guess Ludwig IV von Wittelsbach is the real Emperor Palpatine the whole time. (who also died in his 80s). A proper Palatinate run seems like a lot of fun actually, lots of PUs and stuff.
Just realized one funny thing. The title of the video was actually for myself. lol I hope to have helped unleash the crazy imagination of my fellow watcher's comradery.
Mad dude... I've followed your videos for quite a long time, but this sickness of perfect roleplay as Palps (like other comments says) made you gain a sub.
I've been waiting for Palawa. Since Palawa has the highest shock damage bonus in the game from national ideas, as Palawa, have the highest shock damage bonus in the game. Reform as a horde and take Horde, Expansion, and Diplomatic which each grant a bonus +10% shock damage in their policies.
It’s hilarious to me that in this Palpatine themed game the ruler of the Palatinate HAPPENED to randomly have the traits “bold” “sinner” and lived to be 80 years old which is probably the oldest I’ve ever seen a ruler. Wow. EU4 understood the assignment today.
You might have been able to avoid that coalition by popping out Moravia/etc. in the peace deal... I think since you're "taking" less land that way, the AE impact is less. You have to select to release them before you select "Union with" in the peace deal though, otherwise they get grayed out.
Honestly, my preferred method when dealing with free cities is to feed them to my allies (without cobeligerate the free city) and just conquer the province from them eventually. Good video
As usual, I still try to ask for the "remove fog of war" cheat at the end of a campain to answer all the possible questions that "we can't know" imagine if Beijng was lower dev or just a few clicks away, that would be super cool to see
As 'Palawa' means doing a lot of talking about the same topic again and again in my dialect: Conquer every province that starts with 'Pa' and at the end have a ruler, an heir and a general whose names start with 'P'
Looking over the list now, that includes Pacaha in Arkansas, Padang in Malaya, Paderborn in North Germany, Paithre in the Deccan, Pale in Ireland, Palencia in North Castile, Palermo in Italy, Pambu in Brazil, Panama in Panama, Panka in South Dakota, and hopefully you get the idea. It's 60ish provinces, plus or minus a couple ocean tiles and wastelands, spread across every continent. It'd be more or less a world conquest.
@@TheSteve_1992That reduces it to 10 provinces, plus a couple of seas. * Palau in Oceania * Palawan in the Moluccas * Pale in Ireland * Palembang in Malaya * Palencia in Spain * Palermo in Italy * Palopo also in the Moluccas * Palpa in Nepal * Palu also in the Moluccas * Palus in Cascadia Still going to require globe-spanning conquest, but perhaps not so much.
This was so good at this point I would love to see it as a real achievement in eu4, seems like a super fun roleplay run. Maybe somebody in PDX will see this before the new dlc comes out :D
This was an amazing play-through, thanks. If you pushed things further, this would look like a very promising start of a world conquest... with Palatine? I did this achievement once where you have to conquer every chinaware/porcellain province in the world as Saxony and I THNK it took me about the same amount of time to even gain access to the Baltic sea, as you needed to gain Tunisia. With a good diplomatic game, you will gain the thrones of Bavaria, Austria, Denmark, maybe even Spain... this really looked promising to me. It really makes me want to play Palatine and try a WC. Never played them to be honest.
You might be able to do no CB + vassalize shenanigans to get around these "go conquer someone super far away" goals. Maybe against like Mzab or someone small just in order to get a foothold there.
You can only core adjacent to your subjects when it is on your capital continent. Since Tataouine is in Africa he'd need to get Colonial Range in the normal way.
How did he get the bohemia PU mission? There must be a bug that considers him the leader of a religious league because he's HRE Emperor, which makes him the leader of the Catholic League Edit: yup, I tested it. Becoming HRE emperor fulfills the conditions even if the Catholic League hasn't spawned yet.
hawk you shoud talk to the devs about fixing the "improve with outraged countries" auto improve. Just make this option improve until max or until they actually leave the coalition ( so annoying do it manually)
Louis IV, Count Palatine of the Rhine (1 January 1424, Heidelberg - 13 August 1449, Worms) was an Elector Palatine of the Rhine from the House of Wittelsbach in 1436 - 1449. Louis IV was the son of Louis III, Elector Palatine and his second wife Matilda of Savoy. His mother was a fourth-generation descendant of Thomas III of Piedmont (1248 - 1282), the eldest son of Thomas II of Savoy.[citation needed] From the death of Louis III in 1436 until 1442, Louis IV ruled under guardianship of his uncle, Count Palatine Otto I of Mosbach. In 1444 he repelled the attacks of the Armagnacs as an Imperial captain. In 1445 he married Margarete of Savoy, widow of king Louis III of Naples and daughter of Duke Amadeus VIII of Savoy. With her, he had his only son, Philipp (14 July 1448 - 28 February 1508).[3] When Louis died in 1449, aged 25 years, in Worms, his brother Frederick inherited the Palatinate. Louis was buried in the Holy Spirit church of Heidelberg. Your guy lived a lot longer.

for palawa you should conquer the province of panama because panama palawa
I'm just waiting for Pegu. So i can tell you to vassalise Dahomey. Sexual inuendo intended
Love your videos!💚
Palawa try not to get bored challenge: impossible
Few more till three mountains😂
Ruler survives to eighty years old... the dark side of the Force leads to abilities that some would consider... unnatural.
Goat'd comment 🤣

That's actually a very creative goal
This should be an achievement called “Thanks for being a Pal”
@@Guns_Blazinhaha
So big Australian federation and no wars, wow
Haha. People are getting creative. Nice goal here.
Emperor Palatine got so old. Very appropriate roleplay.
Also died just before actually achieving his full dream (completely killing off the jedis barely wasn't completed in his run)
An obsessive sinner who fights boldly? The Emperor really was Palpatine.

Really deserved more than his shitty stats
I couldn’t have said it better myself
@nwahnerevar9398
I hope in EU5 rulers can have dynamic stats.
@@prestonjones1653 That's already sort of a thing in EU4 through some of the events and missions and such, they're just super rare for monarchies.

By having the personal unions with Milan you also have the place where anakin skywalker married padme
lmao true, not to mention palpatine himself is also from there
As Palawa conquer provinces of Palu(in Moluccas) and Awa(in Japan)

o7 emperor palpatine, ruler of burgundy, milan, bohemia, and tatooine. the dark side of the force kept him alive for 80 long years.

I went to Heidelberg, a beautiful city
This goal was more creative and more fun then 90% of Eu4 achievements.

As Palawa conquer the province "Brno" in Bohemia, which is part of South Moravia which contains the "Pálava Hills", famous for it's wine!
Hahaha. I should comment more often. Really funny video. Epic game. 😁
good one
Just realized one funny thing. The title of the video was actually for myself. lol
I hope to have helped unleash the crazy imagination of my fellow watcher's comradery.
Well done, man!
Mad dude... I've followed your videos for quite a long time, but this sickness of perfect roleplay as Palps (like other comments says) made you gain a sub.
The moment when Hawk plays Star Wars Universalis IV 😁
Awesome video as always, Hawk! As Palawa - honestly, survive and flourish and have fun!
Edit: F in the chat for the Emperor Palpatine the Old.
Bro I never knew palatinate missions are so good together with such good rng
As Palawa become "pals" (allies) with every single great power while staying a minor power.
One of your best videos for sure, didn't know they had such a cool mission tree
I've been waiting for Palawa. Since Palawa has the highest shock damage bonus in the game from national ideas, as Palawa, have the highest shock damage bonus in the game. Reform as a horde and take Horde, Expansion, and Diplomatic which each grant a bonus +10% shock damage in their policies.
What would that much shock damage look like flavor wise?
As palawa become a padawan. Get a regency for an heir below 5
It’s hilarious to me that in this Palpatine themed game the ruler of the Palatinate HAPPENED to randomly have the traits “bold” “sinner” and lived to be 80 years old which is probably the oldest I’ve ever seen a ruler. Wow. EU4 understood the assignment today.

Good timing once more. I did think these goals were hilarious, I'm glad you went for them!
Ah yes, my favorite elector: The Palpatinate.
With how unique, poweful and amazing palatinate mission tree, it would be a crime not to make a video guide for it
How fitting is it that the emperor is good at shock, lives forever, and is a sinner. "Somehow, Emperor Ludwig returned!"
Love this series and releaseables, keep up the good work!
As Palawa, survive colonization and take an island province from each nation that attempts to colonize Australia in return.
Palpatine died, Vader took over to finish the job
As Palawa, subjugate Malwa and Kilwa
The oldest ruler I've ever had in any campaign is an 84-year-old 5/2/6 during my Aq Qoyulu campaign, He took the throne when he was 26 years old
This challenge was funny as hell, keep up the good work!
Honestly, my preferred method when dealing with free cities is to feed them to my allies (without cobeligerate the free city) and just conquer the province from them eventually. Good video
Conquer constantinople as palawa
As usual, I still try to ask for the "remove fog of war" cheat at the end of a campain to answer all the possible questions that "we can't know" imagine if Beijng was lower dev or just a few clicks away, that would be super cool to see
He plays ironman so no cheats.
As 'Palawa' means doing a lot of talking about the same topic again and again in my dialect:

@@darthbob88 Then maybe provinces starting with 'Pal'
@@TheSteve_1992That reduces it to 10 provinces, plus a couple of seas.
* Palau in Oceania
* Palawan in the Moluccas
* Pale in Ireland
* Palembang in Malaya
* Palencia in Spain
* Palermo in Italy
* Palopo also in the Moluccas
* Palpa in Nepal
* Palu also in the Moluccas
* Palus in Cascadia
Still going to require globe-spanning conquest, but perhaps not so much.
"Pal" awa. Diplo vassalize who you can, then form a true swarm by using your vassals to conquer and vassalize others along the way.
This was so good at this point I would love to see it as a real achievement in eu4, seems like a super fun roleplay run. Maybe somebody in PDX will see this before the new dlc comes out :D
The Palatinate appears to have some interesting missions. Do you think a guide would help highlight them?
Can you imagine if all those HRE princes could talk...it be like yo dawg whats ur powers? i make pissed off rebels, even more pissed off...
This was an amazing play-through, thanks. If you pushed things further, this would look like a very promising start of a world conquest... with Palatine? I did this achievement once where you have to conquer every chinaware/porcellain province in the world as Saxony and I THNK it took me about the same amount of time to even gain access to the Baltic sea, as you needed to gain Tunisia. With a good diplomatic game, you will gain the thrones of Bavaria, Austria, Denmark, maybe even Spain... this really looked promising to me.
It really makes me want to play Palatine and try a WC. Never played them to be honest.
As Palawa, you start with the capital region of Peerapper. So try to collect provinces with funny names, like Shatt.
I love (HRE) democracy
Rags to Riches: As Ragusa, conquer Constantinople and make it the highest value trade node.
Having his original ruler for so long: a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Wish you had the "keep border not gore" goal in every campaign xD
@32:00 "you guys know the goals, no need to repeat myself"
This man just forgot the goals!
Very good vid ! Think you were little bit Lucky but GG from a french player
This was a great campaign. I should play more games like this too, it's a good way to make a game you've enjoyed for ten years feel fresh again!
This should be an achivement actually.
You might be able to do no CB + vassalize shenanigans to get around these "go conquer someone super far away" goals. Maybe against like Mzab or someone small just in order to get a foothold there.
You can only core adjacent to your subjects when it is on your capital continent.
Since Tataouine is in Africa he'd need to get Colonial Range in the normal way.
80 years old is wild I had a ruler live to 76 as Qing and I accidentally got the live long and prosper achievement
o7
Rest in peace, my emperor
One of your best episode
Of course its still your first leader. You are playing the Palpatinate. The leader of course is Palpatine.
How did he get the bohemia PU mission?
There must be a bug that considers him the leader of a religious league because he's HRE Emperor, which makes him the leader of the Catholic League
Edit: yup, I tested it. Becoming HRE emperor fulfills the conditions even if the Catholic League hasn't spawned yet.
dk if someone already said this, but if you took aachen early, you could move capital there and just concentrate a lot
I once had an England run where the starting ruler (I don’t remember his name) survived to 86…had four consorts and no heirs
This should honestly be a proper in game achievement
This gotta be one of the best goals so far. Too bad Darth Plagueis couldn't save the Emperor from death.
23:23 You could just have done the claims-bordering-claims from Lucca through Sardinia avoiding the war with France.
7:25 watch as he ends up conquering bamberg (province ID 66)
EDIT: Added province ID number
hawk you shoud talk to the devs about fixing the "improve with outraged countries" auto improve. Just make this option improve until max or until they actually leave the coalition ( so annoying do it manually)
This was extremely fun.
As Palawa, simply play until 1510 doing whatever because Australia is immense pain. You do have good mil ideas though.
Palawa, hmmm, gotta collect 'em all I guess:
Own every single one-province island in the world.
Bro doesn't even own Tataouine :o
I'm starting to suspect he might not be the real emperor after all :D
This was the best goal yet for sure!
As Emperor you have the coring range for all provinces in the HRE.
Ironic!!! 🎉🎉
I had a 92 year old Harald Hardråde in CK2, that's my record
Concentrate development man. Concentrate.
Glad they didn't ask you to move your capital to Khorasan lol

this is such a good run ... also how come you didnt expand infrastructure at 30 dev for the extra cost reduction again ?
love it!
Aragon wants to rule in Gonder.
o7
plapatine beefed it
So this is how democracy dies... with thunderous applause.
I like how disconnected all the land was. Why reconnect your land when you can pick up even more disconnected provinces.
I see the senate, I upvote
Palpatine would have scorched Ajuuraan too.
How do you have the "Sue for Peace" window so large ? Is it a mod ? And what other mods are you using ?
Aztec playthrough soon?
As Palawa become the best Polynesian by conquering all of Oceania
He was Palpatine the whole game! 😅
As Tasmania looks like Ohio, as Palawa, conquer the region of Ohio (easier) or the trade node of Ohio (harder)
maybe use Spectate command ,look at Beijing,then tag yourself back to The Palatinate?is not a cheat,is a feature :D
Very cool.
Hawk is anakin he don't like sand
Why you never check "Threaten war" option if you need only one province? You probably could avoid whole Tunisian war.
This is the way
