EU5: Fate of the Phoenix | Will the Roman Empire Rise Again? - ep6追加:
Hello everyone, Florinus here and welcome back to our Eastern Roman Empire run. We will try to revive the Roman Empire and go back to the old gods that gave us the empire in the first place. It was a mistake to change to Christianity.
Anyways, welcome back. We are now on the second episode on the release builds and we have fought Serbia in a coalition war. So, we have a lot of truces, but not with the Saruhanids that we get soon. But before we go, we have to make more vassals or we give this to our existing vassal and I think that is a better idea.
On the other hand, is there any other nation we can release here? No.
Um hmm.
Yeah, we can only release the Ottomans.
Um I will then do a custom subject here, I think.
I don't want to make my subjects too big.
Now, I'm going to give it to this one.
Yeah, I'm going to give this to uh my existing vassal.
Here. The capital is over here though, so it's they will not get as much control on this area.
But uh Strumica is now a little bit bigger and it makes it easier to convert and annex the boundaries because there's now a set cost for annexation of 200. So, you don't want don't want to make too many small little vassals anymore.
Still so much small, I think.
Uh we have built up Constantinople. It's going really well.
I am thinking about expanding my road network.
Really, that's the quickest way. Yeah, because we have no maritime presence over here.
Because of the bloody pirates.
Yeah, I think I'm going to start building ships. How expensive are they?
25 and 30 sailors.
Yeah, we can build a lot more boats.
Is eight cannons, six hull size, and the new one is having how much?
Nine cannons and seven hull size. So, it's tiny little bit better, but not for pirates.
.12 maritime presence.
And what what is the normal ship?
.08. So, it is actually 50% better.
Uh maybe we should just build them. I can upgrade them, right?
No, I think that I think someone in the in the Discord said that you cannot upgrade to the Mediterranean ships. It is bugged.
So, I'm not going to take the risk. I will wait until I have the technology.
And then we're going to build it. And yes, there is the Black Death, guys.
Rats.
Well, we have a hospital here.
Let's take a look what we can do against the uh Yeah, we can build disease resistance buildings.
So, the aqueduct system system also helps, apparently. We can only build this in Constantinople, Roma, Avignon, and Segovia.
So, we have it built in uh the capital, and that's it.
But, we can also build a couple of hospitals.
A mission also gives 5%.
Only where it is not Orthodox.
Looks like I can not build this anywhere. Okay.
But we can build some hospitals.
And we should build those in our biggest city. So, let's go to our ledger.
And let's say population. I think the ledger is also changed. There are now more things.
Sort by size.
Wait, do we only have 80,000 pops in uh Constantinople?
Why is it saying 80 town? What is this?
Oh, peasants. Oh.
Oh, no. No, no. We have to go here.
So, we have a hospital here. We should build one in Nicomedia.
This one. We should build a hospital over here.
How expensive is it? 168. Let's build a hospital there.
Uh I could think about getting loans for this.
I don't think I want to. Now, we can stop spending so much money for the Imperial Senate because we [snorts] are going up uh by default. If I put this halfway, it could still be enough to make my legitimacy go up. So, let me make a little bit more money.
Cuz we are at 100.
That also means I can get rid of the corruption privileges, but that is costing stability, and we don't have any stability zone cuz we're going to click shut the city gates when the black plague is coming. So, >> [snorts] >> have to wait a little bit longer before we can do those reforms.
But yeah, we should absolutely get the hospital in uh Nicomedia. We have 75,000 pops over here.
Need to make sure that we are going to protect our people from the plague. Demetrios Cydones, who's this?
Our basileus has presented a truly exceptional man, this guy.
Subtle philosophy.
Must become our mesazon.
Oh, it will not cost any legitimacy to promote this guy to the head of the cabinet. Okay, or what?
We make him bad.
Let's make him bad.
>> [laughter] >> Uh, let's make him bad, guys.
Yeah, I still want to give this to the Knyaz at least two.
And yeah, are we going to make this a vassal over here?
Is he going to make a vassal this big over here?
It's still costing so much money.
Yeah, let's make it a vassal.
We'll click on Smer and hopefully that will become the capital. That would be good. Oh, we cannot create the subject.
Why?
Smerda is only core locations and can does not become a subject.
Really?
Really?
Well, guys, if you own something that is only cores, you cannot give it away anymore. So, if you want a vassal over here, you have to vassalize the Baylekhs.
Well, that sucks.
I don't like that one bit.
Wow.
Well, in two months we can go to war again.
How much was the hospital?
168, okay.
Oh my god, it's getting here so quickly, I think.
Oh no.
That's not good.
You see, we are still making we still have all the crown powers, so we can put this lower.
Can I just not pay and then still stay at 100? No, we are losing 0.00, so we have to pay a little bit.
Then we should stay at 100. That is interesting.
Okay, I have to wait for a diplomat.
Let's build the hospital.
There we go. Hopefully it's in time.
And then we go to war with you.
And you guys, and I guess I will just make them vassals.
Yeah, and then I maybe can give this land to the to my vassal.
Is it possible to give land to a vassal where you have a core on?
Well, we're going to figure it out after this war, guys.
Very interesting.
Improve with everyone, good.
We have a diplomat, it is time to go to war.
I can make you a co-belligerent and I should.
Oh wait, I need to first click on the on the thing here.
There.
To war.
Yes, we only have 14,000 levies cuz they did not recover in time, of course.
But, should be good to go.
You guys come over here, and can you guys come over here as well?
And can you guys maybe watch out and not die? Thank you very much. Let's give this to my crown member.
He learned his lesson, hopefully, not rising up again.
Uh you guys can disband. So, I'm not going to take you from the island.
That's too annoying.
And Teke has joined the coalition. Okay.
It's fine.
This should be an easy war, I think.
Let's come over here.
They are raising mercenary ships. Very interesting.
Go there.
You guys combine over there.
And the Turks have arisen. Yes, that was also going to happen.
Take care of those revolters.
Just kill the army.
Stack wipe. Uh [snorts] go to Milas.
This one is over. You go to Tabas.
This cannot stand. Pirates have struck some of our shipping. They tortured and then brutally murdered the male passengers.
The pirates lose That could That could be actually very good. Let's spend money on this.
Yeah, no, no. That was a mistake because the power just goes back to 100 again because we cannot fight it.
I don't like how that system works at all.
I think it's uh very stupid.
Look, it will just go back to 78%.
See?
That was uh very not needed.
Spending money on that. Oh, well.
Too late now.
Okay, that is going well.
Should not fall.
Change. We're going to fertilize all of this, of course.
Should be able to fertilize this, right?
Well, that is the last thing I need to take, this one.
Then we go to the Turks.
Kutahya is done and we get a new core there. Okay. So, there's nothing else that I want to integrate.
How many tribesmen do we have? We have 21,000 tribesmen over here, but that will not be my land soon.
Don't have to appease our estates. They are very happy.
Development, no. Increase public control, maybe.
Let's start assimilating our pops.
Recovery? I'll do some recovery efforts.
Those things are done very quickly.
There we go.
Well, there we go. We can just vassalize you guys.
I will take this myself and I will gift that to my vassal.
I shouldn't do it like this.
No, because then I cannot get the money.
We should separate peace them.
They are cobelligerents, right?
Wait, who is the war leader?
The Mantisites are the war leader. Oh, really? So, they took over the war leader thing. So, we should peace you guys out first. You become a my vassal.
I want all your money.
Going to give you some war reparations.
You can release slaves.
You will not do this cuz then I cannot create a vassal over here.
And I guess we will humiliate you.
There.
You have a new Pronoya.
And we're going to make you a Pronoya.
I'll take this. I will give that to you.
I'll humiliate you as well. I will take your money. I will take your war reparations and you need to release my slaves.
There we go.
That war is over.
And now I should be able to give the land. Well, if I am at peace, I think. I hope so at least.
Let's hope that that is the case.
I will need more rivals.
Do you?
What's this?
No, they don't have to. They don't have to join me.
I will do this myself.
I hope I can give the land after the war, guys.
I really hope so.
Go for Everett. We had one left, right?
Let's uh recover this.
And yeah, what are we going to do next?
Maybe we should go after Genoa.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course. Yeah, so we can get a quick CB.
You should build a spy network on Genoa.
Do you have a lot of ships? You should have a lot of ships. Oh.
Well, actually they only have 10 and they just have levies that are fishing boats, so I think we are completely fine.
Um we can stop the fort maintenance already.
Need to stop this revolt.
What's the Black Flag doing? It's not here yet.
The Astoi complain.
I will do this one.
Woah, they are super happy.
Super happy they are.
Uh yeah, let's just start getting a claim on Genoa.
Get the Genoese out of here.
And later the Venetians as well.
They don't belong here, guys.
Recovery effort done as well.
We will not integrate those.
Um Oh, let's do this one. The The Philhellenism for the cultural influence and the research speed.
There we go.
Special one.
Uh can we annex the revolter? Yes, so this is also new.
Okay.
Done.
We are at peace. We did not lose our levies.
And I'm integrating this one still.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay, can I now give the lands?
Okay, now I can give the land. So, I don't like this at all.
So, I cannot create a vassal over here because I have cores, but when I have a vassal, I can give it away to another country.
You know?
And the Saruhanids have now this as the capital and not Smyrna.
Now, luckily, there is a new thing and that is change where their capital is. That's a new thing. Uh where is it?
Move subject's capital, but look how expensive it is.
You can now change where the capital of your subject goes, which is sometimes really good.
But yeah, we're going to give the lands away. So, the Saruhanids will get that one.
And also this one, I think.
Yeah. There we go.
And you guys are going to get this.
There we go.
I don't like that we have this tiny little vassal over here.
It's going to be annoying. I will keep this for myself.
Uh proximity.
Yeah, we will fix that eventually.
So, we own this ourselves.
The green land.
And the rest are vassals.
And why is the music so loud again?
I don't know. Cuz the game is still not working properly.
I think it's going to take 5 years before that is fixed.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Yeah, some war operations.
And we don't have to spend any on legitimacy, which is amazing.
Uh we might have to start spending money on stability.
We're going to lose some stability by the clicks.
Let's see if we can build a hospital real quick. What is the That is the third biggest town we uh we have? That is Chalcedonia, but that's not a city.
Then Prousa.
Prousa is the next one, this one over here.
Let's see if we can conserve the population here as well a little bit more with an hospital. Maybe I should take a loan.
And build the hospital before it's too late. Maybe we should do it in in more locations.
Maybe in Thessalonica.
We need to preserve our Greek pops. That is the most important thing.
Yeah, I'm going to do this. I will take another loan.
Another one.
I'm going to build a one more hospital.
I can't build a hospital.
There's not enough development over here. Need 20.
It's only 19.8.
Nicaea, where is Nicaea?
This one.
There are not a lot of hospitals I can build. No.
Only on these locations.
Pergamon has 35,000 peasants.
41,000.
These two.
22,000, 41,000.
15,000, 23,000. [music] I guess I will build one over here.
Okay, I will not build more hospitals.
I will just have to wait before uh for the plague to to arrive.
All right.
Just wait for the balance the budget again, I guess.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah, we don't have to lower our inflation. We wanted to do that with the event. So, let's just uh keep the inflation.
Uh yeah, we're building a spider fort on Genoa. That is most likely going to be the next target.
As with the rest, we have truces.
This disco war.
Bulgaria, Serbia not?
Yeah, they are having two colors.
Yeah, there are too many too many things in the ledger.
It'd be cool if they put this capital over here, right?
But they won't.
Look, this is their proximity. It's okay.
But this That's good.
That's decent.
What is now the next most important thing that we do with our money?
Are [snorts] roads still expensive?
Oh, yeah, they are.
They are so expensive.
They have no food shortage over here anymore. Where do we have food? In Chaldiki.
Where was Chaldiki again?
Oh, yeah, here, right?
Yeah. So, in this state we don't have enough food.
It's only these four.
Oh, yeah, and there is no food here, guys. So, oh yeah, there's livestock.
Maybe we should build this up for more food.
They don't have to buy food anymore.
I just need to build all the market villages still. Market villages are good to generate burgers.
How expensive are these? 34 only, hmm.
Loyal to subjects, very nice.
Uh yeah, we need to wait for a diplomat and then maybe I can change one of their cultures to Greek.
What about trading?
Trade still seems very profitable.
0.68 per trade capacity is good.
Well, we only get 0.06 at the moment from this income because we have almost no crown power.
Talking about that, should change.
Should put my this guy here.
And you are also not a crown member, so we should put the other crown member on this one. That helps a lot.
Here.
So, we go from 14.7 crown power to a lot more soon.
Yeah, we have a decayed team system.
It's not a new building a new button and that is over at the estate screen. You can now demolish reduction of the buildings of a estate. It will piss them off like crazy.
But it gives them lower power.
And for example, they have 83 uh satisfaction right now and they are going to 109, guys.
The game is broken.
The game is so broken.
The game is broken.
So, I can click this button. We will get rid of these bad buildings that give the nobility power.
They lose satisfaction, they lose money, but I gain money. So, yes, I will click the button for the first time.
They are now only at 37.
We gain money and we gain more power. We can do the same with the other groups.
Uh the burgers.
Cuz they are the only ones that are not super angry. I mean, they always get minus 46. I don't know what this is based on.
But uh all these things are going to help now with our crown power.
The next uh month we should get way more, actually.
Yeah, 20%. So, we make more of trade.
We suddenly make 20 ducats now.
Still very low for us, though.
What we make per trade.
Uh let's see.
I don't think we need to put this lower than 50% anymore.
They are so happy already.
Let's keep them at 50%.
Yeah.
Well, uh no, let let let's keep the loans. I think it helps to get balanced the budget. So, we have 266 money now.
Oh, we should build the silk in Constantinople. That gives us 0.8.
Also in Prousa, let's get that silk industry going.
And then the spinner's guild is still having 34% of a production boost.
Let's build uh two more spinner's guilds.
Which will make the tailor's guild also more profitable.
Well, at the moment they just use silk, actually, and not cloth, though.
Oh, when you have the Spanish cloth industry, you can use uh wool to make fine cloth. We cannot do it right now.
Very interesting.
Mhm.
The Dardanelles.
Also having a food problem. Can we get a little bit of food?
Beeswax.
Fur is two, beeswax is 2.5.
Wine is nothing.
Oh, we have wool here. Wool is three.
Let's get the extra wool.
Yes, we have got a tiny bit more food there.
Our food situation in this market should be really good.
Yeah, we have a maximum stockpile.
And the food price is 0.01. Paradox, can you add two more numbers here behind the point?
So that we can see the real price.
And can we know where this is based on?
Still not clear to me.
I think you can also go to 0.008 or 007.
Okay.
Looking good, guys.
Let's all keep strengthening the government.
Oh, now we are losing 0.16. So, we have to use my uh senate a bit here.
0.16, so we need to get to minus 0.17.
Yeah. That should be enough to keep this at 100.
Well, we are making money. Yes, there we go.
It's time to steamroll, guys.
Where do we have libraries?
Only one library.
Yeah, we should build more libraries.
That is helping with uh Well, let's show it. Uh library.
No, you're not going to tell me here.
There.
Culture influence. So, we can annex quicker other cultures.
Uh pop promotion plus one.
More literacy and more max literacy. And institution growth. And the literacy is of course helping with the research.
Where is the research?
S- uh quick Oh, here.
Yeah, this this is bad. Average control is is bad in in my empire.
That is hurting research as well. I didn't know that. What Is this new?
I think it is.
Wow.
Even more reasons to make vassals, I guess.
Uh yeah, let's let's start building some libraries. I think that's really good.
Temples are also good. Temples just give control.
But we have built the temples everywhere.
Wow.
Yeah, we have built temples everywhere already. That's good.
Gives us more control.
Or not?
Wait. Temple?
Temple does not give control anymore. Or maybe it's a different temple.
Gives literacy and cleric growth and unrest.
Oh.
I thought that the temple gave control, guys, but I don't see it anymore. Maybe they changed that as well.
That could absolutely be the case.
Plague is not here yet.
But the hospitals will will built.
That's really good to know.
Low antagonism. We can absolutely just go to war again when the truces are over.
Institutions are spreading to our big cities around the coast here. Very good.
Orthodox is still staying there.
And of course we're trying to save our Greeks and our Pontic cultures.
Now here we can see the primary culture of nations. So, are you telling me that Yeah, these are Turkish, guys.
And that is because I had to make this one my vassal. This guy.
I had no other option because I cannot make a vassal out of court territory. So now this vassal is Turkish and this one as well.
And of course this one as well. So we have three three subjects that we want to change to Greek.
You can only do this after 10 years.
All right, we have a diplomats. Let's see if we can already convert one of them.
When we get our diplomats, I think we can.
We should get more options when we have the diplomat in this screen.
When we go to the 1st of April.
There we go.
>> [snorts] >> I guess I cannot do this yet.
What's going on here?
No, they are not 10 years my subject, apparently.
Wow.
Yeah, well, they are just only How long are we in the game? 12 years?
What is this? Uh when do we start? 1336, right?
So, we did this in 12 years. I'm actually pretty impressed. That's That's That's really good.
I I love it.
>> [laughter] >> It's really good.
And there we go. We have the Black Death. Now, where did it spread over here?
Okay.
Let's see. We can move our court into hiding.
Once again, I still don't know if moving court into hiding helps with saving your court from the plague because it doesn't tell you here.
It only tells me that we get negative things.
I will click it because maybe something in the background makes them more resistant. Can I see it somewhere?
Don't think so.
Oh.
No.
So, I don't know. The game doesn't tell you. It's still not telling you what it does.
I will isolate the cities.
I will make the burgers happy and then I will click this. It will cost 40 stability.
Control the food market once again.
It's just causing the plague not to get in our country, but it will get here no matter what, so I isolate the country.
I also don't think we want to do this this because we want We don't want the plague to get go away. We want the plague to go through our country with the least amount of of deaths.
And this one What is this one? We gain procure remedies. Is this changed?
Status fine.
No, no, no, because then I cannot click this one. That is also so weird. If you click one of these, sometimes you cannot click the other one.
You can expel the sick.
We will pest house. We can also segregate the infected to get more disease resistance. I will do that one.
Uh, these ones gives less disease resistance. So, we will not do that one. And we can also do this one, and then we get a bit of stability.
So, there's nothing I need to click here.
I could click segregate the infected.
But there's a chance that the plague goes away.
It's only in our capital with 0.16% of the people. And if it goes away, I lose my stability for nothing.
I don't know if they fixed it, but I'm not going to get myself triggered by that, so it's just I'm just going to wait until this is going to spread a bit more, that I'm sure that it will not go away anymore.
It could go away next month.
Then we don't have the plague.
No.
And looks like it's gone. Here. If I click the button, I lost all the stability for nothing, because the plague is gone, guys.
That is why I don't like it.
I think the system is not working how it should work.
Not at all, actually.
Okay, is there any other buildings that I'm forgetting about that are really good?
Well, the warfs, actually.
We should build the warfs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> Start getting some maritime presents, right?
Okay, apparently the plague is back somewhere.
Yeah, it's back in Constantinople again, only with 0.17.
Most likely because we are trading.
And my crown prince says has reached the age of 16, guys.
My donkey.
No.
There are some things that we can do here to, you know, get maybe someone else on the throne.
Because you don't want this one to be the heir, do we?
No, we want this guy to be the heir.
Look at his stats.
This is my other son, and he should be the second in line.
Yes.
So, we have a Byzantine succession law, right?
It's a complex system of succession that combines elements of primogeniture and an elective monarchy.
And here you can see the ranking.
So, age, was born under my ruler, and son of the ruler is the biggest one.
But, if people are blind or castrated, or disfigured, or maimed, well, then they are >> [laughter] >> then they are going to be having a way lower points, uh, I think so. You know what?
Maybe it is time to, uh, >> [laughter] >> Oh, this is so bad.
But, I'm going to click it because I want to know what's going to happen.
What are we going to do, guys? Are we going to castrate our heir, or are we going to blind our heir?
Oh, that's not good though.
It's so bad.
Uh this is this is even worse. Let's make him blind, guys.
Are you ready?
I mean, I don't know what's going to happen. This is the first time going to click this, so prepare for it.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, he is still he is still the heir. Oh, no. Is it not going to change?
Oh, yeah, he's out of he's out of the line, guys. Now Mikael is in the first in line.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, it's so good.
Oh, it's so good.
It's so good. You should marry though.
I mean, you're you're never going to see anything again in your life, but >> [laughter] >> you are going to go and marry someone to make maybe better children.
I'm sorry, guys, but I think this is hilarious. Here, you're going to marry another donkey.
Oh, we can click on the order of chivalry. We should click that for our current ruler.
Is he no longer sick?
No. That's good.
There we go, extra stats.
Well, after blinding our heir, we are going to end this episode here, guys. I hope you enjoyed it.
And uh I will continue uh this evening with recording, so we're going fresh to the next uh the next couple of recordings here. I hope you're still enjoying this. I hope you enjoyed the new character interaction and let me know if you do. I think it is a very funny.
And it is horrible. It is so horrible.
For now, thanks for watching and I see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
