Worth mentioning for colonial nations, they usually have like 2 or 3 colonists for themselves, but can't sustain the 4 to 6 ducat maintenance for that themselves at the start, so if you want to maximise their colonisation speed, give them like 4 ducats in subsidies a month and they'll colonise at max speed until their income can sustain colonisation by themselves.

Drinking game, take a shot every time Red Hawk called colonist "merchant". :D

Worth mentioning that you should be calling the diet at every opportunity and looking for options to colonize to complete the diet requests, as they give you really meaningful settler chance bonuses. And when fighting other countries that are naval powers, always try to time war declarations where your fleet can murder a portion of their fleet, as their morale is usually not at maximum and you can really knock back their fleet power.

Hawk please don't forget to restore Arabia and the caliphate as mushasha in A to Z and please make Ahvaz the capital cause its my birthplace ❤

I think your guides get better and better, I like when you explain why you do things, because it helps to build the concepts that make a good player for any plauthrough. Keep up the good work.

I wish eu5 adds navigatable rivers, most of Brazilian colonization was made through rivers.

I've honestly not sat through a whole guide from you but I finally sat through 45 minutes of it. I actually learned so much holy shit. Like making all provinces in a trade node a TC with one button.

One of the colonial estate agendas(burghers or clergy) gives you a decision to get -50% uprising chance so with that and the explo-expansion policy you can go full native repression with 0 uprisings and only have to micro till around 1500

You could do a guide for Hungary. I have played them recently and have found them quite strong in 1.35 with the ottomans changes

In my save game I formed The Netherlands as Portugal (I got the Burgundian Inheritance) and it was sick doing most of Portugal mission tree and becoming The Netherlands while having a lot of advantage on the colonial game. Also, I recommend waiting to click in the "Beyond Cape Borjador" until you get 3 colonists.

Whenever I play Portugal, I've found it pretty easy to take Castille on if they haven't got the Iberian Union event.

It's also important to note that you have until 15 Jan 1447 before your Regency ends and you can declare wars. You have plenty of time to build the ships, etc. to finish the mission, especially if you're going over the force limit, etc. It takes about 1 year to build a galley if you want to strategically build it to complete the mission around the time your Regency is over.

Followed this guide exactly and got crushed in like 15 years by bankruptcy and endless revolts lol

When building your first flagship you should also add fleet movement speed. It also adds range to your exploring.

I have done about 7 runs of the start of this guide and I've always gotten either bankrupcy, peasant war, both, France not allying me, Castille taking provinces in Morroco... really taken my will to play portugal tbh

You and Ludi are my two favorite EU4 content creators and I definitely appreciate the different approaches y’all take. Thanks for the content my friend!

[diogosimao]

That Ordenanças government reform is really nice on defensive wars. It is fun to be declared war upon and just click a button and get a ton of manpower, effectively trolling the enemy.

[Yes-qjbi]

In my game I actually did a war with Castile as soon as I could with the help of England and shockingly it actually worked for me

[arminhergl]

Portugal is my favourite big nation ❤finally not another green-ish map colour 🙌

[StrelkaArrow]

Idk how i feel about blue Portugal... Great video as always
