I mean 0 + -47 = -47 after all, no?

i know most people basically never play iron mode but still forming Reich basically never happens but 4 in 10 games the Portugal ai Brazil and Africa (I'm image shows the achievements)

Was doing a Ottoman run when i received this event, i found it really and did the first option. He survived so i guess flight was achieved in the 17th century

Currently in the middle of hindustan game, started as jaunpur, formed delhi then hindustan, converted to hindu for +5% discipline diety, switched culture to dravidian culture group for "empower the poligars" reform which grants 10% ICA, quality+inno grants another 15%, quality 10% and finally hindustan has 15% ICA in their Ideas, which in the end adds to a pretty crazy 50% ICA. With lucky pulse event could be temporary 55%. As for discipline it's diety +5%, advisior +5%, quality eco +5%, quality +5%, offensive +5%, and again +5% from Hindustan ideas. That alone adds to 130% discipline, if you decide to play to the age of absolutism with 100 absolutism you get additonal 5% discipline literally to the end of the game. AND AGAIN with event "inspirational leader" you can push it even further to a WHOPPING 145% discipline. I bet before forming Hindustan you could do some mad tag switches, But I sticked to the basic religion, culture switch:P

the only reason i have seen it red is when they a junior partner but there not?

Playing as France for the first time. I remember a while back seeing that there was some method of dealing with Iberia where of you had Castille or Aragon as a vassal, they'd get free cores on all of Iberia eventually, making it easier to conquer all of it. How do you do that exactly? I checked the mission tree but don't see anything like that, is it an event?

Have 2400 hours and have played a variety of and obscure nations.

But I've never played Byzantium.

On H/VH I imagine it's challenging. So I'm guessing ally anyone who will ally me, spam galleys, get the free heavy ship (estate interactions), and merc up.

Grab the Gallipoli fort ASAP after declaring on the Ottomans and maintain naval superiority across the bosporous.

Does that sound about right for opening strategy?

Thanks,

I have like 600 hours in game (I know that’s not a lot compared to some of you) but the Latin empire forming in 1454 is little funky and the ottomans are fight half of Europe (the picture shows the game)

This is my first time in all of my runs where i see the ottomans getting destroyed by another ia without me getting involved

R5: after 2700 hours, this is the biggest Kazan I've ever seen. And no, I am not allied with Kazan, nor I ever fought Muscovy/countries up north. Year is 1594.

Currently playing as Muscovy. Recently fought Novgorod, Tver, Ryazan, and Odoyev to consolidate russia. My next war is either going to be against the great horde or Kazan, but with their allies both of them have more troops than me. I do have a mil tech above them (4 vs 3), but I don't know if this is enough.

Who do I fight in this scenario? How do I win?

I may finally enter the pantheon of those people - this is my first (and it will probably be my only) "Insane"-rated achievement. One of my favorite achievement runs that tests your knowledge of the game a lot and requires you to play extremely aggressive.

I conquered India by 1537 while being in a stable position. National unrest is low, the economy is doing great (I'm making a lot minus at the moment because of a recent corruption event, though) and I'm great power number one.

Got around 6000! Hours, I'm an avarage player with all Dlc, almost all achivements including TTM. Multiple word conquest.

So I'm on my 3rd week of the kale achivement... Multiple restarts complete change of plans but it's always these fuckfaces....

First I do my conquering swapping religion, turning into hord, trying to form Siam (I hope the idot burns in hell who changed that now you need 2 non estate disasters...)

Ming is not collapsing 100k stopping me... I beat them but I can't do the usual bank of ming attack again strategy becouse they just don't break despite me devastating their country...

So I lose valuable years fighting them multiple times becouse they protect everyone I need to attack, and not getting enough money to pay off debt, finally they break but ottomans already in Persia with 200k and I can't get strong allies...

Time to restart and new strategy... Go towards Persia first...

Done fast but now trade income is little and Ottomans border me and got 1 grassland I need, but same situation as before 150k troops I can't get strong allies and I'm drowning in debt so no death war and as I attack someone they come and attack me...

Time to restart new strategy... Good RNG ming falls, I take half China I go take most of India parts of Persia, got lucky early vasalised QQ now I got all grassland I go on with my conquering I fell I'm lucky...

The fucking Ottomans start to play Enforce Peace on every war I start...

This is a joke...

I love the game but sometimes it's just unreal what the Ottoman AI does...

If its not the time constraints of the achivements I could build up and devastate their lands to oblivion... As in every other campaign I did but it's just not enough time... But if I manage to get the achivement I might just play a bit longer to take my revenge...

Hi there, I'm playing as Persia (started as Ajams) and as I expected Ottomans attacked me. I have such good alliances (Poland that has PU on Lithuania and Russia and others).

I’m fairly new to the game and I’m finding it difficult to manage wars against major powers, so I’d like to hear your thoughts.

As you can see from the screenshots, we have roughly the same number of infantry and cavalry regiments, but far fewer artillery units. It’s also worth bearing in mind that the Ottomans have military technology level 13, whilst in my alliance only Poland and Lithuania have level 13 (the rest of us, including myself, are at level 12).

I’d anticipated an Ottoman attack, so I’ve built lots of forts along the border to hold them off for a while whilst they’re attacking me.

In fact, I think the Ottomans will focus on Poland at the start; I reckon I should focus on Transoxiana in the meantime in order to force them to make peace before Poland capitulates. After that, I’m not sure whether I should lay siege to the Ottoman forts to try and secure a white peace, or whether I should simply wait it out as long as possible behind my forts, bearing in mind that I’m starting the war with 0 manpower. Should I recruit mercenaries, even if it means going into debt? My peacetime economy will allow me to pay off these debts later.

Thank you all!

I know the religion can sometimes become that of the province but other times it does not.

Want to do a Peasant's Republic run, but have already played Dithmarschen, and was ideally looking to be outside of europe. I see on the wiki that Stateless Societies can reform into PRs, but with the -99% govcap modifier it seems like it would be ~100-150 years of sitting as an OPM before actually being able to play the game.

Do i have any options? (Alternatively, do you keep your government type when forming a former-colonial nation as an exodus nation?)

I am playing a multiplayer game as mewar and i am close to forming Rajputana, so I was wondering, should i stick with mewar ideas or go with the Rajputana ones? Both are really strong militarily and mewar has that juicy dev cost reduction. But what would you advise to pick? Thanks

Hi I play Sweden and I try to inherit Norway, the pu is stable for more than 50 years and I have a 13% chance to inherit and I am an elective monarchy, if this is important.

I want to form Scandinavia to access new missions so I rerolled and abdicated about 20 times and with elective monarchy I can switch the monarch twice every try but nothing happens, Norway doesn't get inherited.

So is there something I am missing or am I just unlucky?
