Don't
Eu-IV Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

โบกมือลา หรือจะตบหน้าเธอดี
เป็นคำถามที่ฉันนั้นคิดอยู่ในใจ
ถ้าเจอกันเป็นครั้งสุดท้ายฉันควรทำตัวยังไง
ยังอยากจะกอดเธออีกไหม
คนที่ทิ้งกันจำไว้คนที่ทิ้งกัน

น้ำตาที่เสียไป
รักที่ฉันเคยฝากไว้ไม่เอาคืน

ใจเธอเก็บไว้ไม่เอาคืน

เธอไม่ต้องกลับมาเหมือนที่เคยสัญญา
แค่เดินไปไม่ต้องร่ำลา
อย่าให้ความหวังกันเลย
ถ้าเธอไม่เคยจะใส่ใจว่าคนหนึ่งที่รอแค่เธอ
กลับมาเพื่อเริ่มต้นใหม่สุดท้ายเธอก็หายไป
ให้ฉันรอทำไมบอกได้ไหมเธอ

เธอตั้งใจ ให้ฉันกลับไปเป็นเหมือนเก่า
คนโง่คนนั้น ที่ไม่มีวันไปไหน
เจ็บทั้งใจ ครั้งนี้จะไม่เหมือนครั้งก่อน
เจ็บแล้วจำคือคน เจ็บแล้วทนจนทนต่อไปไม่ไหว

น้ำตาที่เสียไป
รักที่ฉันเคยฝากไว้ไม่เอาคืน
ใจเธอเก็บไว้ไม่เอาคืน

เธอไม่ต้องกลับมาเหมือนที่เคยสัญญา
แค่เดินไปไม่ต้องร่ำลา
อย่าให้ความหวังกันเลย
ถ้าเธอไม่เคยจะใส่ใจว่าคนหนึ่งที่รอแค่เธอ
กลับมาเพื่อเริ่มต้นใหม่สุดท้ายเธอก็หายไป
ให้ฉันรอทำไมบอกได้ไหมเธอ

เธอไม่ต้องกลับมาเหมือนที่เคยสัญญา
แค่เดินไปไม่ต้องร่ำลา
อย่าให้ความหวังกันเลย
ถ้าเธอไม่เคยจะใส่ใจว่าคนหนึ่งที่รอแค่เธอ
กลับมาเพื่อเริ่มต้นใหม่สุดท้ายเธอก็หายไป
ให้ฉันรอทำไมบอกได้ไหมเธอ

สุดท้ายเธอเลือกจะไป
ให้ฉันรอทำไมบอกได้ไหมเธอ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eu-IV's song "Don't" depict a poignant reflection on the complexity of relationships and the struggle to let go of a past love. The first verse opens with a contemplation of whether to bid farewell or to confront the individual in question. The internal conflict and uncertainty about how to act if it is indeed the final encounter are palpable. The lingering desire to embrace the person once more is juxtaposed with the lingering memories of separation and abandonment, symbolized by the repetition of "คนที่ทิ้งกัน" ("the one who left us").

The second verse delves deeper into the pain and loss experienced through tears shed and love entrusted but not returned. The emotional weight of holding onto love that is not reciprocated is expressed through the imagery of keeping each other's hearts without taking them back. The refusal to return to the past promises and to uphold hope for a reunion signifies a resolve to move forward and not dwell on unfulfilled expectations, emphasizing the sentiment of waiting for someone who may never return.

In the third verse, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the reality that the other person does not intend to return to how things were before. The plea not to play with emotions and the acknowledgment that enduring heartbreak is unsustainable convey a mix of vulnerability and strength in facing the prospect of being left waiting indefinitely. The repetition of the refrain underscores the longing for closure and communication, questioning if the other person can offer a clear explanation for their actions.

The concluding verse culminates in a final plea to the departing person, expressing the futility of waiting without knowing their intentions. The repeated refrain serves as a poignant reminder of the unspoken pain of unrequited love and unresolved feelings. The choice to let go and make peace with uncertainty is presented as a final act of self-preservation, highlighting the internal conflict between longing for closure and the realization that closure may never come. The repetition of the closing lines encapsulates the enduring struggle of waiting in limbo, unsure of what the future holds.

Here's something very, very few people understand about EU4: Trade steering bonus to outgoing value is hard-coded to be influenced by tagID, the actual numeric value that a nation has in the game files. I'm pretty sure this mechanic goes back all the way to vanilla EU4 in 2013. It's a small thing because ducats should be immaterial later on, but keep reading because having a higher tagID is a hidden nerf to trade income potential. This is something that MUST be fixed by the devs in EU5.

Trade steering does two main things. It helps you pull trade in a particular direction (it adds extra 'weight' to your trade power). That's the less important facet of Trade Steering for this discussion. TagID does not affect this part.

The second effect of trade steering is more obscure and few people understand it. The outgoing value bonus from having a merchant in the node is determined by tagID, so every new tag is automatically worse at trading because this is hard-coded and breaks immersion once you understand what this means. Sweden is tagID 4, which means Sweden will ALWAYS have their merchant in slot 1, which is the one that has a base of 5%. Are you Sardinia Piedmont? Roman Empire? Your tagID is like 700 and 900 respectively, so there are literally hundreds of nations that will get their merchant prioritized over yours. Only 5 merchants will get to apply trade steering bonus in a node, so Sardinia Piedmont will probably never even get to benefit from this part of trade steering until it's so late that you're the only one in each node...

Basically we care because it gives us increased outgoing value, which multiplies as the trade passes downstream through nodes. It's sort of like earning interest, for those who don't have a good grasp. This is why people send trade through as many nodes as possible before collecting. You're 'compounding' interest at each of the 6 nodes, in a very rough sense.

So we know only 5 countries can increase outgoing value. Trade steering increases these base values by your 'Trade Steering Efficiency.' 100% trade steering doubles whatever base bonus you are assigned. Again, it's sorted by tag order. You may only get to double 1% instead of doubling 5% if your tagID is a large number relative to the other tags with merchants assigned in that node. A merchant that 'steers' trade is just one that isn't 'Collecting' in that node. The Tunis node only flows into Seville right? If you're Castile in 1444, a merchant in Tunis is considered to be steering trade, and you can hover over the outgoing value box and see the "Bonus to Outgoing Value" .

5% merchant 1 (Sweden will always be merchant 1 in any node they have a merchant steering trade in. Always. Check me on this)

2.5% merchant 2 (already youre halving your bonus from trade steering if you're

1.75%? Merchant 3

1%? Merchant 4

0.8?% Merchant 5

It's similar to this. Basically only merchant 1 and 2 have any material impact from their trade steering efficiency. The confusing part may be that this tagID is being ranked at each direction branching off of a node.

You can test this for yourself by just mousing over the outgoing flow node. See who is pulling trade in that direction. Then look at the countries that are increasing the value. All this info is just on a single tool tip and nowhere else. 100% of the time the outgoing value bonus will be ordered by tagID and not the order that maximizes value. On the wiki you can find the list of nations (tags) and their tagID . It would make sense that the nation with the highest trade steering efficiency would always get to be that merchant 1, that way the trade value is maximized for everyone. It doesn't work like that at all though.

There's one or two threads from about 7-8 years ago on this subject. That's all I could find. This isn't even written in the wiki but it's 100% how it works.

@gustafouvrier2993

Good video with excellent advice.

I also find the aggressive expansion and truce map modes to be very useful.

Pro tip: if you right-click on the map modes shortcuts, you can add more map modes to each shortcut key. Allowing each shortcut key to cycle through multiple map modes.

My only disagreement is that calling innovative ideas useless is harsh. It is one of the best IMO.
The bonus giving -25% advisor cost is really powerful. It allows you to afford higher lvl advisor much earlier and lvl 5 advisors in mid-late game. Passive war exhaustion reduction from optimism means you never have to suffer those penalties, even if stay at war perpetually. Scientific revolution saves a lot of mana over the course of the game. Less prestige decay and more leaders are also generally good.

The policies you get with innovative ideas are also some of the best ones.

When it comes to innovativeness, the faster you get to 100% the more value you will get from it.

As far as I understand Random Lucky Nations is not random, rather it is random weighted, with an extremely heavily bias towards the historical nations so its very unlikely that you will see many unusual lucky nations. (And I don't think the RNL change if a country gets annexed either.)

Jokes on you, im broke. Anyway thanks for the video and i finally understand why sometimes i get more crownlands and sometimes less when conquering provinces i was wondering what that was based on.
I am curious how it works with the extra states, for example the cossacks. Do you actually get even less crown if you have extra estates or is just for every estate thats above 20%, 40% or 60% influence?
Also i would love a extra video about how to set up your nation for good events. I only recently learned that you need the Master of Mind+Trader for radical reforms and that you get stability events if you have advisor with higher skill lvl then 3. I would love to know some extra ones, if there are any good ones.

@toasterofdoom9629

@Heaven Canceler all random lucky nations means is that it isn't the same ones every time, but yes, it is still heavily biased in favor of certain nations.

23:27 - there is one instance when increasing autonomy MIGHT be a good decision. When you have a useless island with litle dev you can increase autonomy, even tho it takes away benefits such as manpower and tax you wouldn't be getting much from a 3 dev minor island anyway and having rebels constantly pop up on an island and having to embark you army, ship them to the island, disembark, fight rebels, embark again, ship to mainland, disembark can waste you a lot of time for pretty much no benefit at all

@cathulionetharn5139

2y↑16

if after devbombing an institution (say rennasainse in africa) you are at 9,9 instiution spread, you can increase autonomy to reduce the total dev value of your country
but yes to ludi raising autonomy is mostly bad

@Totallynotkyubey

2y↑5

@cathulion etharn Whenever you don't have time or manpower to deal with rebels (for example after uniting japan), raising autonomy helps. It's situational, but far from "mostly bad". I'd say it is most valuable to raise autonomy early game and it loses value as you gain manpower and dosh.

@speedyx3493

@cathulion etharn ok, so there are 2 instances, but I can't really think of any other scenario when raising autonomy is good(besides RP ofc)

@speedyx3493

2y↑5

@Totallynotkyubey it definitely isn't worth it to increase autonomy early game, you need that production eff, tax, manpower and force limit at the early game, even at cost of having to fight multiple rebels. Having close to 0 autonomy and having to waste some manpower on rebels still leaves you with more manpower(AND MORE MONEY! And you can always hire mercenaries to suppres rebels, then just fire them after using up their manpower pool) than high autonomy without rebels in >95% of cases

Well this is utterly insane, so essentially Scandinavian merchants would utterly dominate any hub they go into... The top IDtags are Sweden, Denmark (if formed, otherwise), Finland (if released, otherwise...), Gotland, Norway, Holstein then Scandinavia itself (if formed). If Scandinavia formed & all the Baltic nations etc stayed unreleased then mighty Albania becomes the number 2 slot for trading 🤣

Super informative! It would be great to keep going along the pattern you followed here of: choosing one aspect/stat someone may want to increase and exploring all the ways in the game that can help you out. For example, you want to increase Army Tradition? Decrease Corruption? Improve Nobility Loyalty Equilibrium? These is the stuff you can tweak. I find that way more intuitive and useful, than only talking about a mechanic (like Estates) and all the disparate effects it can have on dozens of modifiers, in different game plays, across different ages, etc

@sorsocksfake

Note on harsh treatment: it's primarily useful in the early age of absolutism, once you get the age bonus. Many countries can have an additional boost to it from missions, religion (hussite), and a gov reform as well I think? that will get smaller revolts to 7 mil a click. Not just to prevent a revolt (or buy time to get your troops there... but it's one of the faster ways to get max absolutism, if you don't have a ton of autonomy reduction to do.
50 mil is way too expensive for it, but 7 mil to prevent a revolt in an unpleasant location/time? Pretty decent. Also because separatists tend to chain (i.e. if you prevent them the first time, they don't give the 10 years of separatism which causes them to trigger again)

I kinda knew some of these tips but great video Ludi! The privateer thing is going to be of massive help for big pp. As far as I remember, you do get 25 PP for completing the age objectives?

@davidhemmerling8666

I just hit my 1000 hours and the last tips with the advisors did help a lot, so please more.

@dyne313

The only time I ever increase autonomy, is if I took a remote area with poor development, especially late game.

Once you start snowballing, it's worth it to not have to micro manage rebels in the far flung and poor reaches of your empire.

@fusionreactor7179

Actually starting with inno mostly justifies itself since you get all the inno from the inno ideas too

Knew few tips before. Still some are great and I'm eager to use them. And yes - second part please

@Miamcoline

Super super helpful! Thank you so much. Also a very naturally funny guy. Good stuff. I can't help but get the sense I'm missing some DLCs tho.

@bobthepervyuncle

Stacking up autonomy reduction in territories is also very powerful and in India and SEA there's also Great Projects for that.

@evanblack20

I think I might stay in 1.29 indefinitely though I’m a little ashamed to admit it all the new mechanics and estates stuff seems like a chore

@bobthepervyuncle

The third idea in Inno basically pays for the whole idea group because of all the points you saved. Optimal is taking it as your 2nd or 3rd idea group.

@TheMikeMassengale

No you either take it first or don't take it. It can be rough to take an admin idea first, but you only need the first three for the tech discount. It dumb to take it second when taking it first gets you both the second idea group faster, and provides the saving on that tech to give you the points to fill the group.

@bobthepervyuncle

@michael massengale You sacrifice early conquest a bit but taking it first would be with the most benefits definetly.

@Ymer234TUBE

You get PP from subsidising your rival's war taget (active wars). Lowest amount gives +1. Just put it up for 10 years and forget about it. PP also rise for longer time as rivals and embargoing them.

Super useful, as always!

@LudietHistoria

Glad you think so!

@user-zg4bk6rv1q

Expand infrastructure admin cost is sadly not affected by any modifiers, also my province governing cost went from 8 gov cap to 24 gov cap which is plus 200% while the tooltip says it increases it by only 10%

@Ricardo-zo1ti

I'd love a second video about hidden events

@blovi685

Thanks for explaining what lucky nations are. I never understood them 😂

@Oxfordium

I would love a video about what advisor combos give the coolest events!

@xdrader8442

Is great video ludi like always 👌 and I like it please do the second part of this video ❤

@hoyinching9313

One of the reasons that makes me play Europa is because of history and old governments.

@polishdragon4853

i actually often use the Random New World button when i want to create a fantasy like game based outside of Europe or Asia

@Smittenz1

More tips and tricks would be nice, you also reminded me to lookup the different advisor interactions.

@Devin1364

I would love a second part on this

I would pay ludi to make a random new world playthrough

@turklesalper

Im not a native english speaker but i can understand this guy clearly thats the main reason why i watch ur videos regularly.

@chainz983

i thought the random option for lucky nations gave 4 random nations the bonus and 4 of the historical nations

There is an error there... When you share maps yes you need a troop in the adjacent region. When you steal the map there is no need of any adjacent troop

@evanblack20

I’m a big fan of consolidating units disbanding the 0s and filling with mercenaries if I have money but no man power (usually)

@moreno1149

Thank you ludi!!! I cant wait to use this to beat remik in our MP game!!! LOVE YOU

@Evan_30

Innovative ideas are still underrated imo.

- Get to 100 innovation way, way faster due to tech cost reduction and innovation gain (making ahead of time tech very cost effective)
- Sooner max all power cost reduction
- Sooner able to stop taking tech ahead of time/able to take tech further ahead of time giving you a larger edge
- Arguably the best set of policies

It would be interesting to see someone do the math to see how many mana points this ends of saving you, but it's pretty extreme in my experience. Whenever I play with Innovative ideas, I end up just rolling in mana points.
