Tall Lithuania is an absolute beast. The amount of farmland is absolutely insane

Tip for riga vassal is having 3 stability before releasing them since the ai can be kinda stupid and not stab up for the mission

Not finishing the Lithuanian tree first killed me my dude XD

5:00 This happens because the AI does not calculate the strength of the overlord of the overlord. The Teutonic Order calculated that, alongside their allies, they can beat Poland and Mazovia.

For this awesome run, you, my good sir, have earned a new and loyal subscriber!

21:09 I'm pretty sure you can hover over the dev cost modifier in each province to see if there are any that haven't been developed 3 times. If the province got exploited by you or Poland then it will have been improved -1 times

Love the king of dragon pass music in the background

Ahhh... Lithuania. My old mistress.
Have you ever considered forgoing +1 diplo privelage, getting the cossaks privelage, selling estates and then completing the first mission that gets you claims on the Pontic? That way you can immediately declare war on Crimea on Dec. 11th provided they have no strong allies. And on top of that you're flush with cash for conquest.

0:16 The development map is hilarious, literally all the surrounding countries are more developed

[fsbotdel]

13:58 you could get -10% more devcost reduction simply doing mission the other way, accepting 4 cultures (decentralised reform could help, for example)

[burakahmettr]

im normally just conquer and f it guy at 7k hours but it seems like a good idea to play one tall run, it was a joyful campaign thanks !

[Smzuu]

The kingdom rush frontiers music is what got me to like it bro

[HogBruhh]

The baxton clip made me spit out my fucking drink man.

[jackoofman]

Dude you’re channel is great, can’t believe I hadn’t discovered it before

Another thing you can do with Lithuania is fight novgorod first, swap to Novgorodian main culture, allows you to form Russia instead, a famously balanced Tag.

[oscarvanderhooft]

I do the opening moves for Lithuania a little different, always ally the Teutons and either Hungary or Bohemia (depending on Polish rivalries, a restart might be needed. But I usually just rival and insult them to get 2/3 of the aforementioned nations as an ally). Then fight a humiliation war against Novgorod for Show Strength first, curry favors with your allies and do the war against Poland a little later (usually around 1448/1449). Then declare on Livonian Order a month later and fully annex them (since Teutons won't join), then focus on Poland. Break alliance with Teutons (obviously) right after the war.

Well this looks easy!

Me trying Luthiania as my second game:

Beat Poland, then a few years later, before army is even recovered Poland and Muscowy invades in a total victory and I'm left with a few dry cookies.

[BerniHard]
