The Last Charge of Burgundy | Bavaria Part 10

There’s movement on the Elbian border. Sinister things are about to happen. A backstab is coming, but is it the one I wanted to happen? Another thrilling episode of the Bavaria Series in Victoria 2 multiplayer, with unexpected twists and crazy moves. Of course, a tough grueling war with millions of casualties.

One obscure overseas country far down south will have more impact on events than we could have imagined. I’m failing to form Germany, but Batavia is arguably the single easiest formable in Divergences of Darkness. His quest to receive Province-Du-Cap through negotiated transfer, or war, will once again intertwine with the diplomacy in Europe.

This video was not, in fact, shown to Patreon supporters early. It received full monetisation when uploaded. This is a cruel mockery by YouTube, the one time I advertise early access for Patreons. An earlier test version of the video, which was almost exactly the same, got limited monetisation so I prepared for that. Maybe it’ll happen next time.

KK’s already been watching this campaign over Ben’s shoulder he knows what’s happening Yes actually I have I made fun of him a lot when he makes mistakes during Wars making mistakes such as going to sanctions over a bit of land he couldn’t even take maybe mistakes like

That yeah his after that while I was making breakfast the DM is DM is number 23 Prestige zero culture attack he doesn’t all the research points he didn’t get the research points oh my God he’s at 40% literacy seriously yeah he at 40% literacy Italy’s better literacy than him right now it’s unequivocally

Over unequivocally over yeah people like like [ __ ] read dual monarchy starts at like 50 or 60 literacy like France or UK and vanilla no it starts at like 30 [ __ ] read yeah yeah but they only improved like 10% only thing I [ __ ] know is the footy scores [ __ ] you talking About welcome back to the Bavaria series everyone the critically acclaimed Victoria 2 Series in divergences of Darkness multiplayer in the previous episode tired of all the r lawyering and complicated Wars Spain Italy and Aragon decided to put all that aside and have a gentlemanly simple War which was very evenly

Balanced Spain and Italy won a narrow Victory our Italian Ally formerly known as SEO has lost his status as a rump State and is one step closer to completely getting all his cores this is very good news for myself on the danubian Confederation and good news for a recovering juel monarchy who is

Picking himself up after the disasters of the episode before that in which he got sanctions and beornia started coming home to England but there are darker things brewing and plans being formed and nothing has changed the simple fact that within the overall region of Germany there are two countries and one of them

Is a lot stronger than the other one the larger country has allowed the smaller country to gradually get stronger and grow but the common enemy that we had to really justify an alliance burgundy can no longer seriously be considered an existential threat to either of us especially after

He transferred the rhin land to the Elian Confederation we’ve been told that that was a specific agreement to get albian neutrality in the next Western European War but those two countries working together in any shape or form is very concerning to me the danubian Confederation and the albian

Confederation are Allied on paper but relations are getting very icy we’re drifting apart he’s spending a lot more time in different voice channels including With the Enemy Alliance while you’ll rarely find me spending time with anyone other than the jeel monarchy in Italy but then towards the end of the

Last episode I asked the lb in Confederation if I can have h darat a German minor country in his feere which hadn’t been annexed yet one reason for me doing this was because we’d previously agreed to that and it’s my accepted pops but the second reason for

Making that request was to check where the albian confederation stood if he rejected that then he’d be making it clear that our alliance is over and I’d have the moral justification to start going against him and it wouldn’t really look like a backstab for me but he

Allowed me to have it so the tense situation will continue but again another 117,000 accepted pops growing stronger yet again and gaining the famous sight from my original plan in part one Herms dirt St or whatever yeah maybe some more legendary events will take place in this province we’re

Heading into a new session of the campaign which means that some countries are going to be getting substitutes none of the main important countries for the plot in Europe are getting substitutes but Aragon beornia Russia and the ottomans are the flags used in the subtitles will always keep you right as

To which country is speaking even if there’s a revolving door of players on some of these nations some people also ask for the mod Us in this campaign I’ve linked it in the description of most of these episodes it was made by po and of course it’s right to credit the one

That’s used in the series but I wouldn’t really recommend this particular version of DOD there are some issues with it especially with the economy check my Discord in the multiplayer mod section for better more upto-date versions of multiplayer DOD and the fan fork for story driven single

Player please give the video a like and consider supporting me on patreon this helps to keep the channel going you get bonus clips from the series and depending on these monetization issues there’s a good chance you’ll get to see episodes early if they have to sit unlisted while they wait for a

Monetization review for a day or two then I think it’s really appropriate to give p and support is out the access which is something that I’ve done before with the musky Series in many episodes enjoy the Video are we having a war war in Europe a mere week away my meta Alliance come down all right the first thing expert Marksman does is request a [ __ ] Grant did anyone in my met Alliance have like plans for an upcoming war or something no bargon planning [ __ ]

Yeah they are I mean we should just de buy honestly before they ready for England Ben make sure if he’s funding his army that you fund your army yeah watching the following Thursday uh bery AR is going up punch your army DM yeah yeah oh Place in the Sun on me oh who’s

Justifying it exactly scandy 31 days funed m funed m fun M I did make a deal that I would stay at that so We’ve got enough people to win this I’ll just push into the South actually no wait I I can only go through cuz alans isn’t joining is it just going to be me and you versus them I guess so is the Elin switching to [ __ ] me up

Here that could could be a problem he is run away we need lizard in that case the Albin is backstabbing me after he begged me not to backstab him right we need to start this out we we need we need lizard right yeah hey lizard the elbin is joining against me I’m being

Backstabbed we’re going to need you oh [ __ ] I’ll help you yeah B might not be joining immediately I’m not sure but I did join he didn’t join just justify on burgundy yeah yeah do that yes but if burgundy gets helped by allans I’ll be in there with you this is misery I’m being

Backstabbed I mean it was kind of expected first time n this is exactly what I wanted because I didn’t have the heart to backstab him but since he’s backstabbing me that takes the work my economy is really sweet right now I’m making money oh it’s good for you I can

Give you money lizard oh I will join the war and just walk through and help you against burgundy you want me to put troops in your land spad there’s nowhere to put them because of how I’ve arranged things right now but um you can go to

Pieced out there’s no war what happened is there an icon on the bottom right you close your eyes the jeel monarchy accepted the piece offer from the albian Confederation I did not get a piece dude I didn’t get a piece at all and from Alan confeder no I didn’t I didn’t get

Pieced I did not get ped something happened to the war goal first okay well that’s fine here it’s fine don’t Worry are you willing to it uh take what the deal the what I told you on the end basically you guys kill burgundy you just leave uh elans to be white P how do you have that deal like like okay I’m proposing that if you guys want

That elans want it yeah elans is also in favor of just throwing okay no listen wait wait we we might still win though we will start the same way next time Dempsey is the game up yeah the game’s up I just want to tell you guys what happened

It was uh Luen transferred away a waro I thought someone might have transferred a waro what do you mean Luen transferred away a waro Ben decked on the South African Colony yeah bgy was G it to Lu did you deck to dismantle the fortifications there b yeah oh of the

South African Colony oh that’s what happened Okay all right yeah of Course that’s exactly what I started to think happened when I [ __ ] saw this happen it’s all coming together but listen we might want to take that deal because it means we can take more land get stronger off of burgundy and then kill them better later yeah I guess yeah

Definitely me and Italy will be able to smack down Aragon next what I don’t know is how’s the situation over in your side of the front we’re not pushing forward but we aren’t I don’t think we get pushed back I think we we win this war

Anyway I think we should just take the deal of just annihilate burgundy there’s not much I can take you know I I just bled to get the Albans pushed out of my land I think we can win the war overall we have a brigade advantage you know and

I’m going to get nationalism and imperialism during this War I should get cheaper War goals on the Albans yeah that’s true I mean we’re going to have to fight we’re going to have to fight the same War anyways probably with scandy in it so I feel like it would be

Best to just got burgundy now I mean our economies are really [ __ ] like how long like continue this war is the question scandy could fund them do we just accept like 100 urgy right now yeah what can I take uh you could take I mean there’s

Rish pops right there right on you on your it would set us up for a war next time where we could could get you as much as possible yeah it is like up in the air if this is going to be winnable yeah I feel like we just I think we’re clearly Winning okay I guess if we take the deal it’s all right it’s okay we can do it I am completely and utterly bankrupt I go just bad across the board for every I don’t only want to go through demographic collapse over yeah it’s going to be bad for everyone except the

Ultimate hug box over in the East dude [ __ ] Asia dude that’s the thing people got to be look at it yeah well look if you want something to counterbalance the Asians you got to get me form in Germany yeah spud gun can I talk to you and lizard okay can everyone else leave

Uh we just need to lie and tell lb will be his ally okay he said yeah no of course as long as you guys are my allies and and I said yeah spud gun didn’t want to betray you anyways so okay that’s technically the truth as long as it

Keeps me out of another death war yeah he’s the one who betrayed us we didn’t want this yeah what I’ve got is exactly what I wanted I’ve got my moral justification to backstab him mhm but I’ll pretend to be his ally again yeah and this lets us utterly destroy Bur

Yes I’ll give you a for me if you want we can move past this [ __ ] [ __ ] burgundy sure yeah I’ll deck on burgundy after this okay all right cool I’ll white peace now yeah I just want to [ __ ] kill Poland why cuz he was going to join this war well he’s my

He’s my Ally he wanted to help me I literally saved him go like don’t blame him it was me yeah Fair how about killing Theus okay I’m okay with that what he’s in here joking bro I was joking I was just joking you’re joking are you bro who said let’s

Kill the a it was like some instigator it was [ __ ] and trolling yeah we’ve WR back into battles happening what’s the battle happening in albian oh there’s no battle right we don’t follow up from there into the forest just pull back all right now that we have the benefit of

Foresight Hey listen we took positive casualties in that battle cuz of the RS we really got to finish up with all these death Wars in Europe so we don’t just get trusted by the Asians I mean tell me about it all right so you’re just surrendering to 100 on bur no I’m white pcing first oh okay yeah I you’re

The war leader oh I am never mind then pull out Italy Italy no Italy sorry sorry sorry sorry Jesus this is why you don’t to pause immediately after yeah you’re the war leader what are you going to do he’s just going to not fight those is

Just my bow anyways I guess we can do it that way my troops are not being funded considering I’m a million in debt wow you can really take out a lot of debt you want 30k of that debt yeah sure I’ll take 30k could you pull your troops out

Of burgundy yeah I’m pulling them out hold on I’m going to demob too so you guys have fine BR is already looking like he’s finished yeah he is it’s pretty ogre I got a pretty nice encirclement though on DM troops there that was all me by the way BG did nothing don’t you

Years I don’t know cool I don’t think it’s guaranteed at all deberg L Mo it’s over for burgundy man oh my God it’s true that is a chain War that’s actually a legitimate chain War he’s right normally I agree with the sentiment of chain War but can you

Really like pretend to me for a moment that’s a war burgundy is going to fight Over well that definitely was an interesting series of events which just transpired for the last 32 and 1/2 minutes I hope you enjoyed that now we’re going to move on to an analysis section where I’ll give you extra context explain things and show you the war analyzers but first

I’ll give you a detailed breakdown of the peace deals that occurred burgundy has been royally screwed over I’ll show you what was taken from him other than his dignity but we also have a peace deal against the jeel monarchy from Scandinavia and bornia to look at the

Way I told the jeel monarchy to declare the war in the first place was to try and avoid Scandinavia being able to fight alongside burgundy but it’s very clear that Scandinavia had no intention of that anyway he didn’t call burgundy in when he decked for England the move

To separate their Alliance block was redundant because they’ve already done it themselves knowing that Scandinavia wasn’t going to help them on the mainland anymore burgundy sought the Albans as a new Ally and transferred him alsas to secure that even though he’d already given him the rhin land but back

To Scandinavia and the British Isles this is a harsh but natural move for Scandinavia he has no reason to fight on the mainland anymore no reason to be dragged down by burgundy he’s got complete dominance over the British Isles and a new Ali to work with and actual England is really taking shape

Here with the jeel monarchy only Clinging On To The Last vestages of ancient Britains in Cumbria and Wales as the Anglo-Saxon football Hooligans March in obviously he only needs one more region to form the nation of of England to make up for a 2.3 million pop loss in

England the jeel monarchy only gained about 920,000 unaccepted Pops from burgundy but he still has about 13 million pops overall Italy also gained a Burgundian colony in Africa which would curiously become majority Burgundian and let’s not forget the main War goal here the fortifications in Province t cap are

Gone no more Port there no more forts in case you don’t know the reason people like to justify dismantle fortification is because it’s one of the quickest War goals to justify to get you at war with your enemy as soon as possible it doesn’t take up much War score and you

Can add the ones you actually want to take during the war if we take a step back and look at this in terms of overall Alliance blocks the difference is very clear the alliance block of burgundy Scandinavia and Aragon has completely Fallen apart we know what Scandinavia is doing but let’s also take

The previous episode into consideration with Aragon agreeing to a gentlemanly war yes it was very nice of him to agree to that and we got a nice break from rule lawyer Ing and Truce blocks and all that but Aragon is isolated in losing and so is the rest of his former

Alliance block when the jeel monarchy declared war on burgundy for dismantle the forts in Province duap Aragon had the potential to join on burgundy side in the defensive call and Truce block out Spain and Italy for 2 years trying to be honorable and a Gentleman doesn’t get you very far in

The world of real politic Scandinavia can afford to completely pursue his own self-interest and abandon his Alliance because he’s completely safe he has Naval to protect him from everyone Aragon doesn’t have that luxury if their Alliance block had stayed together and secured the albian Confederation switching size to them then they’d be

Winning compare that to our alliance block even with the albian Confederation leaving it I know I can call on the jeel monarchy Italy and Spain when things are looking really bad and then later in return I’ll put the whole alliance’s interests above my own personal interests and strengthen the Jew

Monarchy by making sure he takes a lot of Burgundian land to sum up the last 3 minutes of analysis let’s take a look at the rules behind what the albian did to burgundy putting aside the moral or ethical questions about what he did let’s look at the legal stuff the albian Confederation is

Allowed to separately surrender out of a war but just white pacing is very much a great area because he was the war leader there are specific Provisions in the rules for a war leader to surrender separately but not to wipe peace any participant of a war that’s not the war

Leader can just wipe peace out of it any time in fact the very same issue came up in episode 2 with the same countries that albian and me so there’s a direct precedent in this campaign but that was a different burgundy player the one playing it now wouldn’t really know that

The alans was making it clear that what he was doing wasn’t surrendering even though if he surrendered we would have just taken nothing from him this is such a weird area of the rules you see when he realized that he couldn’t WIP peace on account of being the war leader well

He would have been breaking a different rule if he did that he changed it to just pulling his troops back there is a case to be made that he was breaking rule 1 a by doing that instead of making any official surrender but these were never raised no one challenged it if

Anyone was going to try and put an end to this it would have been burgundy but he was too busy going on The Charge of the Light Brigade understandably dooming to be completely honest with you some of the things I said at the time were very slight attempts to force this issue

Trying to poke holes in the deal so that it would maybe Fall Apart pointed out that the albian was the war leader and I also tried to get him to formally announce what he had done in the chat to maybe get burgundy to challenge it in

The rules or get the host to step in and look at it but it would have been a bit risky for me to really try and go down that rabbit hole and potentially alienate my own Alliance from a deal we just made together also on this topic as

Soon as we’d made the deal with the albian I made a genuine full PA by saying let’s kill Poland I didn’t consider how closely Allied Poland and the albian were I thought Poland was sort of acting independently and joining against us I thought his main motive was

To expand against me me I took it personally but the threat of Poland coming in to help the Albans either in this war or in the future has been dealt with by convincing Russia to get out of that bizarre deal he made in surrendering land to the PLC I don’t

Actually care if Russia really wins and takes back all his cores or if we’ve just doomed him because he has the PLC on one side and the Asian hugbox coming after him on the other side as long as he’s keeping Poland out of helping the ALB that’s all it matters to

Me and finally the war analyzer Now 1 and 1/2 million casualties on our side 1.3 million casualties on The Burgundian and albian side we did have a very large Brigade advantage against them in this war but they had a massive economic Advantage I checked the saves the albian

Is completely fine he has the strongest economy in the world burgundy was losing some money but he has an easy source of funding there the jeel monarchy Spain and Italy were struggling to reinforce while the alians were getting fat reinforcement ticks as we saw from the economic and reinforcement perspective

Making that deal and pacing out the war was the best thing for us I do think we could have won if it continued as it was but it would have been bloody and my alliance might have gone bankrupt the counter offensive into albian territory never really happened

It was all a dream we reverted the save but now that a war has in fact happened between the albian Confederation and the danubian Confederation my Army is preparing to come back here I don’t know when it will happen I don’t know how it will happen the Diplomatic situation is

Very delicate but the die has been cast after this War thank you for watching everyone please give the video a like if you enjoyed it sometimes I see other YouTube channels post that thing where it says how many of their viewers are subscribed or not subscribed and they tell the 90% of viewers who are not subscribed to subscribe well here’s mine basically

Better when the next episode comes out hopefully and you can watch a great back catalog of many other series quite similar to this one but even though I’m constantly asking people to join my patreon And subscribe and join my Discord I have to say I’m very happy

With the level of Engagement and support that this channel gets as it is and I’m very thankful for that from all of you but anyway here are all the obligatory links I’ll see you all on my next stream or the next episode of this Goodbye GG it was fun see you guys next next week I’m assuming I don’t BL my out which might
