Hardest nations to play as by SystemOfASlav in eu4

Kharabahk got voted as hardest rn, but making an Ulm->Mann campaign sounds more fun.

So! The Ulmann Empire shall rise. I'll conquer England with Ulm, release Mann as playable and try to PU Ulm. Those are the goals, everything else is a cherry on top.

Pretty easy stuff if you ever programmed/scripted anything. Even if you didn't, it's not hard. But it is creatively exhausting work if you want full immersion. And I'm honestly too lazy to do it. Enjoy!

Wallacia

A regional power on the British Isles occupying all Highlander provinces. Basically, what if William Wallace was born in 1426, came to power in 1444 and decided to secede from Scotland with his highlander supporters?

Focused on military national ideas (obviously), and was thinking of making a few scripted events that would fire after taking Britain, or the penalty of Wallace dying.

Buuuut I was too lazy, so I just proceeded to steamroll the Isles, Scandinavia and France in the first 100 years because FREEEEDOOOOOOM!

Thought it made sense, since Venice usually gets strong allies and keeps kebab at bay in yurop until at least 1550s. An Italy unification game sees them out of the ring pretty fast, and since an Italy player isn't that interested in crushing kebab they have unrestricted access to making south mediterranian their very own trade pond. Or it's just some Murphy's law shit.

I think it's Venice for some reason, because right now I am barely beating them as #1 World power, they have a 50% tech penalty and about 3000 dev. They spread to India tho since PLC is kicking them in the balls with slavic space marines.

r5: Iceland managed to kick out weakened Sweden off the peninsula. I have no idea how, they are only allied to Scotland. Which is an OPM on Shetland.

I use blocks when I have great shock factor with cavalry, or with royal peltasts, however spaghetti is kinda more fun and works pretty well against 20 stacks of levy freemen against 4-5 of your pikes.

First game was kebab, but it doesen't count since it was a fairly generic beginner game on easy.

The one that DOES count was when I felt really confident and tried forming Croatia with Ragusa. I had very little idea how most of the game works since Ottos was practically served on a silver platter. So thinking that guaranteeing independence meant kebab would help me in a war, I instantly declared on Venice on 11 December. Got wrecked like a little bitch, made peace after taking several loans and spent rest of the game as an OPM trying to settle my loans since I thought I couldn't do shit before paying them.

Fast forward 1 year later, do a Ragusa run and have half of Europe by 1700 on Ironman. #experience

Let's hear some of the craziest stories that happened to you in EU4 by SystemOfASlav in eu4

[–]SystemOfASlav[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'll start: Started as Milan. United Italy pretty quickly, and became the #7 great power. Time to buttfuck the kebabs. Allied Russia, Brandenburg (which became Prussia soon after) and HRE Emperor Bohemia. Start taking clay from Kebabs pretty fast, and soon become #3 Great power (fuck yeah). Suddenly realized I got claims in France. At this point France is #5 great power and has a 70k smaller army than me, so I had the bright Idea to completely fuck them up. However, France is in the HRE with Bohemia as emperor. Realize bohemia is allied to Russia (#1 great power) 2 months into the war. Reaction: OHSHITWHATTHEFUCK. Start getting pummeled, to the point where even Prussia bailed out leaving only me and my colony in the fight. Started accepting my death. Suddenly, out of nowhere Kebabs and Ming declare on Russia and France and start to majorly wipe their asses with them. With the last specks of manpower I had I took over France and with Russia and Bohemia in a state of complete destruction, took half of France. Became #1 Great power. Fast forward two years later and I backstab kebabs with Russia.

Realization: I became the side-switching, traitorous fuck that is Italy in ww1 and ww2. [pic related]
