EU4 but ALL THE WATER is GONE 🐫🌵

In today's Europa Universalis IV video we will be removing all of the water in the world and replacing them with colonizable tiles, then giving every nation that wants it siberian frontiers to get it all filled in! Big colonizers like France and Portugal are at an advantage, but there are definitely ones you may not expect!

I don’t know how to feel about this. I hate the map but I love the video.

This will severely affect the trout population.

"Sir, what do all these provinces produce?"
"Fish"
"Oh okay... Sir what is fish??"

Ive always wondered what a "What if Germany was a lake" scenario would be like, since denmark would be an island and a lot of central europe would suddenly have coastlines

"Decided to leave natives just in case but thats probably a mistakes"
- Some colonial governor hundreds of years ago

[bramvanherck]

My god... They did it... the dutch finally did it...

[birb]

Dude Naval and maritime ideas in this scenario are going to be OP

[Benwut]

I'm honestly surprised that morocco has a special name for it's brazilian colony. FYI, the name "Granada Al-Jadida" means "New Granada" though technically should be written as "Gharnata Al'Jadida" or "Gharnata Al-Jadida"

You always remove natives because they slow down the conquest of north america, while IRL the European colonization didn't conclude until mid-to-late 1800s. it's very realistic for US to only have the east coast within EUIV timeframes

The name placement code does some math to figure out the bounds of the region and tries to place as big of a name as it can within those bounds. The weird name placement of the Siberian tribes is caused by having a chunk of the province on the other side of the map split, that province's bounding box covers pretty much the entire northern hemisphere so the name get plopped in the middle of the map.

[Hunterrion]

12:58 The reason the names do that is because It's going over the edge of the map provinces file, for some reason the game doesn't take stuff doing that too well

[authenticbitterleben]

Would be interesting to take a map Screenshot of this and overlay the water provinces to make it look like a normal map again. Interesting experiment to show how the blobbing without see influences to continental borders.

[JM-mgel]

With the Vic 2 music in the background this reminds me of the ancient Fantasia mod for vanilla vic2 where every province except a few starter states was uncolonised. Good times

[KingoftheWelsh]

14:50 you can see that the morrocan land got disconnected from the capital, which I would imagine is why it spat out the colonial nations

[aldragod]

I love how at 13:30 the land england owns still kinda looks like britain

[bartholomewone]

croatia : haha i take ur coast
bosnia :

[EmporerDragon]

I have to wonder that if the natives weren't erased, would one or more of them have migrated their way to Europe or Asia?

[GreenieGuest]

That was probably the best game AI Kamchadals would ever see

[DopaminedotSeekrcolonthree]

NGL, I'd love to see a mod that takes this concept and turns it into a post apocalyptic one. Maybe some fallout stuff in America, Mad Max stuff in Australia, ETC...

Add some lore, to it! Breath in some LIFE!

[lofilipeta]

That is amazing. I now wonder what a sea conquest, instead of world conquest would look like. Where you only conquer the sea tiles and leave the land to the AI
