EU5: Fate of the Phoenix | Will the Roman Empire Rise Again? - ep3Hinzugefügt:
Hello everyone, Flying Duchy here and welcome back to our run as the Eastern Roman Empire EU5 Fate of the Phoenix.
Still early access. Uh tomorrow the game will come out. So I'm going to make two or three more recordings on the preview build and then we will be on the release build.
And I just had my dinner. And yeah, we are just waiting for the claims to go on the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans, not the empire yet, just the Ottomans. And then we will go and take them. And we are building spy network on Serbia so that we can maybe make Stua this loyal so they can become a vessel. Um before we go, I want to show a new thing.
There's a new goods tab in every location, I think. Yeah. So we can see which uh see which goods are made in a location and yeah here we can see how much wealth we generate for the estate and how much tax we get from it. So uh nice little list over here and you can see that we have a low production efficiency but this is national. Uh we do have high production efficiency for some of the buildings. For example, the we have minus five for the cloth because we have the uh cor the corruption estate privilege and we have war exhaustion. So war exhaustion is also bad for production. Uh but that is a national modifier. If I go to these three buildings, you see this little green, what is that? A spade. And here you can see that because we have wool in bisantium, making fine cloth is actually a very good idea because we're going to get more production efficiency. And we have another new thing and that's the last thing I'm going to show and that is the urban rights.
You can give an urban right to a urban location for example Constantinople.
And here you can uh specialize your location and you get more uh specializations later in the other ages as well. At the moment we only have a couple. I'm not going to go over everything just takes too long. But we will get the silk monopoly of Constantinople because this is a special one for Constantinople.
And you can see that we can get a 50% silk output bonus, 25 for cloth, and 10% for fine cloth. So, uh, we should absolutely go and make use of this and make cheap extra goods. Maybe we can trade more fine cloth away or or some normal cloth and we can use it to make more things as well. And yeah, there are just more things. Uh yeah, this is the only one that works in Constantinople. So, we will try to get this one. And to get this one, we need to make sure that we have uh let's see.
They don't say it here anymore. Maybe it's changed actually.
Oh, there we go. Contact Obless has his RGO extraction fully expanded.
So, we need all the levels of RGO and then we can build it. So, we need four out of four silk over here and then we can do it. Now, the weird thing is that it's saying over here that we already did this. Look, we have a check mark.
Second one we have or our Joe expanded, but we don't. So, maybe that's a small bug, but uh we will see. Let's keep playing, guys. So much to come. So much to come for this run. There we go. Oh, the ultimates have rivaled us. Okay.
And yeah, some uh new songs you can hear in the background. I hope they will stay on now. Maybe restarting fixes the music player. That's what I'm hope at least.
Yeah, we have a new loan. But that was because we have now built the library and we can get the Renaissance spawn over here.
Yeah, this pilgrimage. I don't know, man.
Pilgrimages are just giving. It costs 11 and then we just get 10 religious. Oh, it costs five only.
Let's just do this then, I guess, for 10 religious influence.
Yeah, let's do it.
So, he's now on pilgrimage.
So, we lose some crown power. We get some more prestige for two months and that's it. But at least we get 10 more religious influence. And since there is more to do with religious influence, I think it's worth it.
Um, it's not over here, right? No, this is just the the holy sea. We need to go to this screen.
Yeah. So, I have 13 now. And soon we can click more things. So if we have a valid work of art, we can do the the the pirora creek for procession.
This takes an icon work of art on the road, relocating it to another location.
As it travels, it will bring benefits to the location it passes through. Oh, really?
I think that is what something that happened in the past, right?
Well, let's just keep playing. Let's get that CB. Uh, we do now have enough spine network on Serbia. So, let's just do the the click, I think.
G. Oh, we have no diplomat to send. Oh, yeah. We need more diplomats, guys.
And I was looking at my loans and stuff.
It's not too bad to have a lot some loans and some inflation because we can get the uh the parliament. Well, talking about the parliament, our sinctos is uh available. Maybe we get the balance the budget one, right?
So, we could do it in the capital for centralization or outside. I think we should do it outside. Let's go to Calipolis.
Do we have the thing? No.
Okay. Well, maybe next time.
>> [snorts] >> Uh we have new things here as well. We have clergy, charity, food, uh food consumption minus 10.
And my character lives 2 years longer.
We can do trade insurance. We get a trust recovery modifier. Oh, really? And we get this minus one interest and trust recovery.
Lounge religious missions. We can get a huge amount of religious influence when we do this.
Whoa.
Wait, what? So much.
That's huge.
But this 15% only. We have monopolize land trade routes. More trade income when it's debated. And we get this.
We also have the mountain pass charters.
When it's debated, we get land proximity cost without infrastructure minus 0.05.
And when it passes, we get this for 10 years. More proximity.
Let's go and do the proximity one.
There we go.
And now the question is what are we going to do with the cabinets? Because we can do a couple of things, right? We are going to war. So having more levies would be nice.
Demand for city walls. We can start building city walls in Tessaloni. You can also build city walls now, by the way.
No, I don't think I want to do that one.
It's very costly. Um, okay. What I will do is we'll click larger levy because of the first war with the Ottomans. I will do focus on the land.
And I will reduce the bureaucratic entrenchment as well.
Then I will well yeah I can't click more things or I just make this fail but then we lose stability. I don't want to lose stability. Let's wait until we get more uh events. Maybe we can go towards over 100 with events.
can do this one, but we also lose 12 stability. So, let's not do that one. How much levies can we now raise? Why are you saying that we can only have 600? Well, Duchy, because your agrocoy is unhappy.
What is the threshold that you can hire them?
25. Okay, good to know. 25 or higher.
So we need to get this to 25 or higher otherwise we cannot fight. [laughter] Yeah.
Okay. Well, we are busy doing this with uh appeasing the estate education of crown prince Yana. So this is our donkey.
Uh a crown prince Yannis by logos comes of age. Tutas and CJ's class over the proper cause of his studies. Every choice of language, text and mentor threatens to become the proxy battle over a future soul.
We can say he gets balanced studies till their death.
Are we saying refuse a refusible metal education of the crown as a weakness?
Yeah. Well, we do this one then.
Is that an extra bonus?
Oh, okay. So, if I change this away from balanced, we get this event.
Well, at least we have extra. This is extra, I guess. Okay, I think it's extra.
Okay, so we have to wait for our diplomats. Then I can uh take this down.
The Ottomans took uh all of this.
The bloody Ottomans.
Uh do we have our Yeah, we do have our minting law now ready, right?
No.
Did we change our law that we could take more money out of minting?
Doesn't look like it's working. I think we have the same amount of money. The Atoy of Philadelphia. So, Philadelphia is over here.
This one. What do we get? Minus five.
Yeah. Unfortunate support of our authority. And we get plus five legitimacy.
We get pop satisfaction.
Okay. Can I use this to a donation? No.
Four years to go.
I can give this to a location.
only in Mount Atos because I think that is the only uh uh holy site we can do it on.
Yeah. Well, I don't want to do this one.
I think I don't want to give away trade privileges to uh more navy because the navy doesn't do anything because of the pirates. We're going to lose all our maritime presents and we can't stop this because we need way more boats and we cannot pay for it. So, it's very simple.
We have to get them later when we actually can.
Well, we have our fifth slot now because of our reformed um government.
What are you going to do?
I think we're going to do this one for the cultural influence and the research progress.
Yeah, I think I like that one.
And I will just not hire anyone. I will just let this uh happen without rotten borrows.
You lose more support. We have the room for it.
We can make Philadelphia into an urban parliament seat.
Well, yeah, we'll do this one.
What's this?
Only one building is not profitable.
That's fine.
And we should get our levy soon.
Actually, next month we should see that we get that we can raise more levies cuz they are above 25% again.
All right, there we go. 16,000 levies, guys, for the war against the Ottomans.
I just hope that we keep the spine network going cuz I need to use the next diplomat to declare the war. I think I don't think I can do anything else with it.
No, I don't think so.
What are we trading?
Some leather. Exporting some leather to Alexandria.
Okay, actually a lot from prestige and support. Yeah, well, we don't change anything. And what is this?
The hasty chasm. I don't know how to pronounce this at all.
And we can say support the movement.
We gain this for 20 years or we say no.
against suppressed.
No, we'll just support it. I guess these are imports. What about export? We have books. No, we don't have any. I don't think we have any big surpluses in our market.
We have clay. We have extra lumber, stone, wine, and then fine cloth. Yeah.
Economic power of Constantinople is apart from being an important member in the Sinclop is also the center of the number of influential businesses with a stake in overseas trade. We can lose five or just lose five. We just need to stay above 50. So that is completely fine.
So, we should get the modifier when this is done, right?
Yeah. So, we should get more um a little bit more control.
Okay, I have my diplomat, but it takes seven more months before I can click.
But I want to go to war when I can. So, I have to wait seven more months before I do anything else with my diplomat. I think in the meantime, we lose our war exhaustion. So, that's really good.
We'll go to zero when we go to war. So, no more penalties to production efficiency, etc. The Arctic songs, the the acritic songs, sorry. In the age of early Eastern Rome, many from Tisman known as Acretise or to protect Anatolia from the Arabian invaders. This has led to many great poems and many great heroes being produced in Greek such as the Denus Acretas.
What do we get? We get a masterpiece song created by this guy.
Oh, thank you. Support for authority. We gain five legitimacy and central Macedonia are will stop going. And we have our child who is gifted.
I like this guy.
You're of age, but you are not a crown member, so don't really care. How many works of art do we have now?
Yeah. Well, we have the Theodosian walls.
The h the haggi gives us a lot of bonuses.
>> It's a level two, right? One, no. One, two, three, four, I think.
Yeah.
And we can see our full bonuses here.
Works of art. Okay.
Well, works of art better.
Make your culture stronger.
Culture groups.
There we go. We have the mountain boss.
Okay. This is our culture group. The Roman culture group.
I have to uh spread our Roman culture group everywhere. I think why is the sound high again?
Look how low it is.
Look, I I put it back from 40 to 50 and the sound level is different. How's that even possible?
Well, welcome to EU5.
I don't mean to click this one. That's not going to help us. At least they're going up very slowly.
Succession crisis is now a little bit better. Yeah, just a tiny bit though.
Okay, we are appeasing this. Let's just go to 40%.
Then we stop appeasing the estates. Uh I think that is enough quality. So let's change you as well.
Make you something else.
Yeah, I will take a look at your events game.
Um let's see.
Guess supporting the patriarchet is good to do.
The Mariners Guild of Tessaloney.
What the hell? Or we do this one more serve them.
Boom. Treason or conspiracy. So it's our head. Yannas and Anna are wife, treason, whatever. Ju just typical human things. And we gain cracking down on strong nobles. Minus 50% for 20 years.
That's good. But you go out of the cabinet.
He goes to uh the clergy and he will no longer be co-emperor.
Or we say this.
No, we will do this one. Well, boom.
There he goes.
[laughter] There he goes.
He is out of the cabinet, guys.
[laughter] What a disaster.
Well, I think just going to wait until I have my diplomat until something happens. So, I'll see you soon.
And we have a new event in Dian Strait.
As the Eastern Roman succession crisis rages on, our treasury is being drained, making our position more and more un untenable as the conflicts continue.
Should our internal turmoil persist, the very existence of Eastern Roman Empire will be in jeopardy.
Ah, desperate times call for equally desperate measures.
But this happened as well, I think. And we can pawn our uh jewelry to to Venice.
The pawning of the Eastern Roman crone crown jewels. If Venice accepts, they will loan us a thousand and we will suffer from lacking jewels until the work of art, the Byzantine crown jewels is returned.
Okay. Or we say that is preposterous.
They will loan us this. So we have to pay it back and we will have minus.1 legitimacy. I don't want that cuz that's the only thing I'm trying to get. So I will not do this.
And I think historically they never paid it. So let's not let that happen to us, shall we?
All right. Well, the diplomat is there, guys. We are going to war with the Ottomans and their allies. I hope you're ready.
I hope we can win.
There we go.
It's only the Ottomans. That makes it very easy. I can call in Tbison and we'll go, of course, with our only CB that we have.
And this should not be too difficult.
We are at war.
Raise our 17,000 levies, please. Going to put you guys on the sea here.
And we will go back to speed five.
Do they have any forts here? There's no fort in uh Niko Meda.
Okay, let's come over here, please. You guys over here as well.
This Morf walk through there. Uh, I don't think we need these ones actually.
Let's just disband them before they get killed.
Oh, you cannot get disbanded.
Oh, well, come over here then.
Come over here and let's destroy the Ottomans.
Can we reach this in time? No.
>> Could make two armies.
I don't want to get another loan preferably. So, let's see if we can keep that.
Well, how many gies do you have?
I think we can beat that with our navy.
I think when we take this, we also loot the the provinces. I don't know where the loot is situated in this screen, though.
But I think there is a loot mechanic.
Oh, they did the Skoli privileges.
Interesting.
Yeah, let's do a test. Can I now do the uh the thing?
Yeah. Why can I do the silk monopoly of Constantinople? I should not be able to do this one because we did not fully build the uh all the silk up, but I will click it.
It cost five legitimacy and we will go back to zero anyway. So, this is a special one for our capital. We make more silk, more cloth, and more fine cloth. Huge amount of production bonuses. There we go.
There we go.
I don't understand why we can't get this. Should not be the case.
Oh, I'm killing some boats apparently.
Um, let's just try to kill this army.
I think we gained a little bit of money and I think when they are going to flip to me, we are going to get even more.
Now there's the battle.
We won. Very good. We have our first research done, our second one. And you are an offensive planner. Commander combat bonus. Very nice.
Let's get the diplomats. We are always lacking diplomats. Look like a good idea.
And let's see what we want from the Ottomans. So, we want them to give us back the my course this.
But um I'm going to take the rest of you.
Remember, we cannot create fossils. So, this land will be owned by us and it's going to be a bit meh.
Yeah, I think this is going to be it.
And of course, the money.
How much money do you have? You have 144 money. That's nice.
So most likely that will be the peace deal. Could also release AI but uh what I will do is just take it for now and then when we are done with our succession crisis I will release the vessels.
Just have to deal with it for a bit. I think that's fine.
These are prisoners.
I will ransom them so that we don't get alone.
And let's just split this in half.
Start taking more of these.
You have no food. Can you distribute food, please?
Okay, now we just need more war score.
We can already almost peace out already.
So that's really that's looking really good.
We go. We have to Yeah, we are we are taking loot.
So what we really should do is just continue take the loot as well.
I didn't know there was a loot mechanic in the game at all. So, okay, we can have a diplomat now. Uh, we have to make use of our spy network before it's too late. So, I will go to this vessel and I will tell him to agitate for liberty.
There we go. Now, he is at 43%.
Hopefully he will uh beat this loyal.
We still need to make a claim on the car seats.
Okay, let's go here.
Yeah. Yeah, we are getting so much loot.
Where is the loot in the game, guys?
Where is it?
I don't know.
We'll go here and this one.
I mean, we are at 100% already.
We could just peace out.
But can I peace out without a diplomat?
Yeah.
How bad is this for my antagonism?
A lot of nations will maybe join a coalition against me. Also, this calculation thing is broken. Takes a very long time. I don't know why that suddenly is a thing, but it is what it is.
Yeah, maybe I should maybe not take this. But I just want to kill the Ottomans. Ottomans need to be gone.
So I think I will take it.
The fate of the desperate of Stumiga. So what we did was the uh make them disloyal, right? And they have chosen wisely. They are now becoming my vessel.
We end the edgitate for liberty against Stumika.
There we go.
Very nice.
And that means that this guy is now well should be my color, but it's not changing.
They are my fasil now. There we go.
Struia or something like that.
Um, yeah. I'm think I think just going to keep fighting here, but I don't want to wait for those sieges over here. So, I think I'm just going to peace out then.
Do I take everything?
Why is this now a different color?
What?
Oh no. Maybe not going towards me. Now it goes to me. Yeah, I think we're just going to peace out, guys.
Do we get the minus 25 or only for that one state? Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, I I think we should just kill the Ottomans. So, I will do this.
Boom.
We won. Victory against the Ottomans.
The growing instability caused by the waring balik culminated into the rise of the Ottomans. Though might in combatant diplomacy, they came to pose a constant threat to the independence of our empire. However, recent victories against them have served as a as a reminder that we are the heralds of Rome. And despite the turbulent era, we still fight like lions. Let this moment mark the turning point, a new era to undo the decay of past years. for 30 years. Maintaining more than 50 legitimacy will significantly increase our assimilation and integration of locations. Yeah, but I don't want to integrate this because I have no control there. Also, not with a core.
Well, that was one war. Uh we will immediately disband our levies. We're going to lower all the maintenances and we are hoping that we are making money again.
Not looking good.
Okay, so we have our cores back. That's good.
Uh, I would love to make a CB on you, but I have no diplomat, so I can't do it. Going to make a CB on Serbia as well, cuz I am here and we of course there.
Who are you? You are Gregarius, my daughter.
Well, let's make you a good diplo then.
There we go. And now we get events from reclaiming our land. So we have reclaimed Nikico Mida. That is this one.
Ismmit I think right.
Uh yeah ismid.
You can see some more things here from from the past. And what can we do? We can get restored the old capital for 20 years. We get.3 legitimacy for free and estate satisfaction equilibrium.
Or we do this one. Restore the Anatolian administration. Get an extra cabinet seat.
20 prestige.
No, I will do this one and get that legitimacy going cuz now it's costing only 16 for my legitimacy. So maybe we are now reaching a point where we could think of think of um getting more into the legitimacy.
For example, with this one, if I do legitimacy with you, uh where is it?
There strengthen the government.
Yeah, see we are not paying and we are only almost not losing it anymore. So I think this is the moment also get a little bit more of this now.
I think this is the moment where we are going to start paying for our legitimacy. We can pay this for two ways because we also have our bureaucracy over here.
If I pay for this one, we lose the minus.36.
It's costing four. So, we spent four 436. How much do I need to pay here?
Okay, this is more expensive.
than the bureaucracy. So, we will not pay this, but we are going to pay for the uh the Imperial Senate uh bureaucracy because then we don't no longer have that penalty.
I just don't know if we can pay for this though. Let's see if we can. And now we are gaining legitimacy.
That's really good.
Yeah, we need a new rifle. Well, let's rival these ones.
And we have uh the slave conversion.
I don't care. I will click that one away for now. So yeah, we can integrate this but I won't [laughter] because the control there will be very low.
We will get some control in these things though. We have a core here.
Okay, the war exhaustion is zero. That's good.
I think I will integrate some stuff over here.
I think I will integrate Sultan Sultan Nu and Bolu since they are somewhat close to my capital.
And yes, we could make more vessels, but we also have to annex vessels and that that takes time as well. So that is also what I'm counting in. How is it now looking for this? If I put you guys Oh, you're already out of the port. It's still not enough to get rid of the pirates.
No, I'm not going to give you any maintenance.
And we also claimed Prowa. This is now Praza. We have a fort here as well.
54,000 city.
Can read this. And we get this for now.
And there we go. Well, we get 20 legitimacy for free. And we have grant access to the demand bay tribute action for the duration of our fate of the phoenix disaster.
Okay.
Yeah, we can demand bae tribute, but it's costing legitimacy. And to get rid of my succession crisis, we need 80 legitimacy.
So, no.
I will not.
Is my ruler? Yeah, my ruler is still there.
It's pretty good actually.
Okay, we can stop appeasing the estates now.
Um, let's see what else are we going to do.
Oh, I should have clicked the diplomatic endeavors when I pieced out.
Too late now. We can increase control for a bit.
Let's integrate the other one.
Do I take this? That is the question. I think I do, guys.
Yeah. And with the rivers, we do have some proximity to these locations. Let's just take this ourselves there.
Let's start the integration.
And most of them are Greeks as well. So most of these locations, not this one, will also become a core.
And maybe when we get some control, we can convert them to Greeks.
Yeah, people are going to join the coalition.
100%.
I hope that they're not going to join the coalition.
>> We got a claim on you guys.
Have to fight these two.
Let's stop spending any money here.
Okay, they are joining coalition. I will end the episode here. In the next one, I will start claiming on the car seats. I will get a uh CB on Serbia because we can.
And there we go, guys. We are slowly getting our stability up and our legitimacy. And hopefully we can turn this around very soon.
Still very poor though. Let's see how it goes. For now, thanks for watching.
Don't forget to give a like and your reaction in the reactions tab. and I see you in the next video. Bye-bye.
