Also Mughals don't gain much from this war, So they might not fight as hard if only Italy had better relations with them. Bahamanis simply secures first place.
Daniel was fighting a bit like a cornered dog. Instead of constantly repelling attacks, they should have tried to peace out Iberia and Burgundy quickly. France should have went to Iberia and Italy and Bohemia to Burgundy. And I think they would have won then as a lot of troops from Bahmanis, Mughals and Mamluks wouldn't arrive yet. Plus, the forts in Iberia and Burgundy were not advanced. It is easy though to say now.
On sidenote, I hope you remembered to destroy HRE, when you had Madrid sieged.
Thank you to the devs for a great stream. DDRJake is doing a great job narrating and with the after streaming interviews. My love for EU 4 have returned. I started watching the latest streams on twitch and ended up watching this stream from episode one on youtube.
One small request: These office multiplayer session on twitch are awesome, but they are archived nowhere (except for the last episode on twitch, which is a pain). Would it be possible to make all the multiplayer streams available on youtube as well (https://www.youtube.com/user/ParadoxExtra for example) so we can enjoy DDRJake-commented multiplayer at our leisure?
WWW is just Italy fast-forwarded a few centuries later. He built up a lot of revanchism over the years, went fascist because of it, and that's how we've ended up with "Germany" advancing upon the lands of those who ruined him back in the 18th century.I am hugely looking forward to the stream tomorrow. I watched World War Wednesday just to see if Daniel had calmed down even though he would be sitting across from Johan, and to his remarkable credit lol, he had.
your fleetnumbers are really low for 1730.
Exspecially UK, what ideas did he pick? UK without colos in 1730 should have around 150 heavies, 800 lights, a trader in every trade node and leech money from rest of world.
NFL: Exploration +25%, maritim +50%, expansion + maritim +33% and trade idea for merchants, are 4 of 8 slots, rest into mil ideas.
Buildings dock plus drydock +6 NFL per province
UK island province number: 30 + 25*6=180*2,13 =383 basic naval forcelimit.
When he puts 150 lights in venice, 150 lights in genoa (with a trader who collects there), 150 light in constaniople.
With colos his number should be simply higher.
The 150 heavies make sure that nobody tries to DOW this navy. After securing european trade, england can start leeching of india. So late in game, a trade fleet with 50 heavies + 150 light ships pay for themself. even when you are nearly 3 times over naval forcelimit.
And if england gets bored, he simply trade war rest of europe with blockade ports goal. so that every european major has to give england 50% of there tradepower.
When it is really about France + Italy+ ottman, a UK with ,my idea setup should be able to solo this 3 countries in the next 10 years.
Take 20 loans (should be around 20*500=10000 gold) and bring up your navy. scout france, italy, ottman main navy bases, justify trade war, park your heavies in front of there habors and use your light ships to get every port of this 3 nations blockaded.
Use a small siege army to siege islands they have, which they cannot protect.
DOW this 3 countires without calling your allies. Get your 30-40% warscore through blockading ports plus island sieges. Peace out for trade power or the islands.
even when this 3 countries now start a navy programm, they need years to build up a little navy, and there income gets trouble to feed there armies.
When england sits on 0% land maintance most of the time.
Buildings dock plus drydock +6 NFL per province

Why do people disagree with this? I'm curious because I've read about this strategy before but never found any details on it. Would be interested in why the strat works / does not work.
