The ULTIMATE Guide for Scaling and Developing in Europa Universalis 4

Ever wondered how I always end up with so many troops and so much money when I play EU4? Well in this video guide I go over the details of how to Scale, Build up and make the best EU4 nation you possibly can.

In today’s video we will be talking about scaling and building nations in Europa Universalis 4. Many of you guys requested this video in my most recent Spain MP video so here it is. This guide is intended for multiplayer use but can be used for single player runs as well. Just keep in mind that in single player, sometimes the fastest and most economical way to scale your economy is by expanding while in multiplayer you have to face a player that might turn into a death war so internal expansion is usually better.

Im currently trying to get 50,000 subs, when I do I will play SUS in a 50 player eu4 multiplayer lobby.

Scaling in Europa Universalis is actually not as hard as it seems, one of the best skills to have in this game, in both multiplayer and single player is resource management. And speaking about resources, in EU4, your most valuable resources are your mana or monarch points. Money is important but not as important as monarch points or even manpower.

HELP ME REACH 50, 000 subs and I will play SUS in a 50 PLAYER MULTIPLAYER LOBBY

[caelin]

4000hrs in game and I'm here furiously taking notes on how the trade value works.

[e-tandeman]

Habib givin us the EU4 masterclass. Sublime

[grubygrzib]

I had no idea there is so much depth in deving, I was aware I was doing it unefficiently, but didn't know I could improve it so much. Never thought of temporarily upgrading CoT to lvl 3 for deving that state

[dimo]

A very useful tip for mana generation I recently found, there are 3 Estate privilege's that gave you a advisor tied to a decision. If the Estates Influence is 80% those advisor's will be also 50% cheaper. This is incredibly strong especially if combined with the additional -15% cost from the other privilege's .
However you can only get Improve Relation's one from the Nobility, Reduced Inflation from the Burgers and Missionary Strength or National Unrest.

My favorite part of the video was when Habibi said "Its scalin' time" and scaled all over the place until he had max buildings, 1000 ducat income, and was number one gb from development.

[Majora]

Gotta say it's pretty great having constant Habibi uploads.

[classiclife]

Bound to be a classic video; we should all bookmark it, keep it on a browser while playing until we memorize all 13 pages and this stuff becomes second nature, like driving. The info is compact and necessary, every bit of it. Great job!

[updated]

A couple things I'd like to say.

Don't greed when devving. If you're giving up a very important tech, like tech 15, and someone else banks 900 mil to pop the war on you, you will get your shit kicked in. Assuming you're devving for an average of 15 / click (a pretty low average for the time), that only translate to 60 mil clicks.

Base EU4 just throws 50% off advisors at you. Use those.

Some missions give you -75% or higher cost advisors. Those are good too.

Build manus ffs. Watching people sit at 5k cash for no reason is really tilting.

Consolidate trade nodes or die (of cringe).

Don't play this way in SP or you will get severe brain rot. Go play a horde and get 900% oe have some fun.

[juliusaurelius]

Habibi still so underrated man
I remember when he had 500 subs, absolute legend and love to see him so far up

[tripplej]

Persia has quite op age bonus giving 20 dev cost. Used it in an mp recently to gigascale. Afterwards invasion of India was trivial

[keglez]

Burghers need to have >60% Influence in order to get 10% devcost. The influence breakpoints for all estate buffs are: 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%.
13:32
Lvl 2 Trade Centers have 5% local devcost. If you have more than 1 Trade Center in a province, you can make one lvl2 and the other lvl 3.
Republics and Monarchies can get 5% devcost as one of the gov reforms if they have Economic ideas.
Development efficiency from administrative technology affects the base cost by additional −10% at level 17, 23 and 27. (Counts as dev cost, but also reduces base dev cost)
Monuments often times give local dev cost.
"Geteilte Macht" HRE reform adds another 5% local devcost to empire provinces.
Sikh Guru Granth Sahib (starting 1708) adds another 5% local devcost.
Some nations have specific estate priviliges to dev cheaper on mountain/desert tiles, such as Swizerland and Arabia.

[Vennomite]

If we're talking generic dev costs i think you missed province specific modifiers like farmlands, cotton/cloth, or monuments. Less relevant is the capital -5% per 100 dev. Sihk has dev cost with one of their gurus i believe. There might be some gov reform ones you missed too. I thought theocracy had 2? There also devastation that's worth noting.
Infrastructure gives you those parliament debates. Or it did in my Angevin run.
Overall, excellent well made video. Top Tier

[barituned]

Habibi, thank you, legit, often im bored or frustrated with school and watching your videos is the thing i look foreward each month.

[skulls]

Hey habibi, thanks for making this guide, dont pressure yourself too hard in doing 3 videos a week, 2 a week is enough and is better if it means you dont burn out. (And return to old habibi upload)

[kamilmajewski]

Bro this is absolute fkn masterpiece. Should be shared everywhere. Especially multi info. Gr8 job.
PS: True, habibi is posting 3times a week - this is the end of the world.

[edsheeranahmet]

Idk if they patched it, but Monarchies that have access to the generic "elective monarchy" reform still get the bonus of an heir from a regular monarchy, but also get 3 additional options upon ruler death. You basically get a regular monarchy with additional rolls.

[Venommzz]

This randomly popped up in my feed, this is the best eu4 video I’ve seen yet. Consider myself subscribed. Please make more of this content.

[wzvy]

I love these new frequent uploads, every video of yours is filled with content and entertainment that makes me watch every video to the end!!

[Soma_Cruz_]

Lockean Proviso gov reform gives 5% dev cost, Also tributaries can give you mana:) Really appreciate the effort of putting this together and the consistent uploads!
