Look at this Aztec smug how can you not be terrified of it.

Not included is the amount of restarts all of these took.

Been trying to get Mare Nostrum since 2016!

I am currently playing as Bohemia and want to make some Tag switches from here. I just formed Great Moravia have Poland, Brandenburg, hungary and Lithuania as PU. I got the Burgundian Inheritance and got lucky to get France as PU as well. Austria is almost entirely swallowed by me. I am the emperor of HRE as Hussite. I have plenty of time left and want to do some Tag switches from here on. May ending as Austria Hungary or Germany. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Is the strat for Ming to just trigger the "crisis of the ming dynasty disaster", and be done with it?

Hey,

I think idea groups' tier list is quite a simple and exhausted topic when it comes to their straightforward bonuses and policies, but if we were to judge ONLY by idea group events, how would such tier list look like?

We have to take in consideration how OP their benefits are, what's the proportion of good to bad events and if the good events are more positive than the bad events are negative.

What are your thoughts?

Or is it just some kind of making them feel shameful?

I have no idea why, i am Japan and i an the only Shinto nation (beside my colonies) i went nowhere near this area, i think they are starting cores for Oirat, they became shinto one after the other (1629 then 1630) i did happen very close to when i finished the spread of Christianity incident and went full closed for it, and did the New Buddah? mission

R5: Big Blue Blob, not the hardest of achievements but one I've been putting off for a long time. No Scandinavian or Balkan shortcuts, wanted to keep it a bit clean and will continue for Better than Napoleon, Napoleon's Ambition and maybe Home and Away if I can be bothered.

Didn't rush too hard all in all, but needed one restart because I didn't read the description properly and went into North Africa on my first attempt, taking most of the provinces there before I realized they don't count as it says 'European' on the achievement tin.

Apart from that, pretty much did the usual. Declared on England myself as I wanted Portugal in for the extra warscore, so I could avoid the hassle of trying to invade England. Allied Castile who I had join through promise land and Ottomans, in case of coalition. Took my cores + Pale + Calais,, and already had spy network ready to get a claim or two in Ireland and start conquering. Managed to grab all the provinces with the exception of Ulster and Desmond, which England sniped.

Most of my conquests were reconquest wars: Northumberland, Wales, and as Palatinate got a quick BI + inheritance, another 9 or 10 cores from them as well.

The two provinces from Granada were an easy opportunity as I was allied to Castile when they declared and my subjects managed to occupy them, so I separate peaced out because I had no AE with Sunni.

Speaking of AE, only had one small coalition form but disbanded it through improving relations. Age bonus + espionage did the rest.

r5: i decided to try conuer the word as PLC, but ai got other plans. Around 1445 Lithenian Ruler died, making me not being able to get the Lithenia union event, thoes making this campign hardly playable. i tried doing no save scum, but man that is just toooo diabolical.

I can't call in Austria on Poland simply cause it says they are the emperor. Then how have I called them into every other war with Poland before in every one of my other Hungary campaigns?

i don't really wanna expand there now, and France will conquer half of germany after i dismantle, so what benefits i woud gain form disbanding it now instead of later.

I think if I ever saw ”Von Habsburg“ over France on the map I would actually throw up.

Its my first run trying to form Siam. We dominate Asia, as we were able to secure every coastal province from Bengal to Beijing. We took over the mandate of heaven and switched religion to "Confucianism" so no mali from religion.

Malacca is my strongest Vassal and owns the Islands in the south. So my trade power there is only 13% right now. In Bengal, my trade power ist 23 %.

However, I need your help, honorable master merchant, to optimize my trade routes and squeeze out every ducat out of Asia.

My idea groups so far: Influence -> Expansion -> Quality

Any other sugggestions?

He, who controls the trade, may rule for ever - Confucius (probably)

As you can see I got the "Spread of Christianity"-Shinto incident active. The Religion-Menu tells you, you'd need to have Nanban-Trade and Spread of firearms first tho. Does it have to do with my mods or me playing a custom nation in this run? I've played with the same mods for years and even as a Custom-Nation-Daymio, this never happened to me. Anyone know what's up with that?

I own all coastal (de facto all of) South Africa. Portugal only owns an island east of Ile Bourbon and the are around Benin but they have 50% trade power compared to my 25~%. What's going on?

R5: Playing as Indrapura > Malaya, trying to get the Rags and Riches achievement after getting the achievement for forming Malaya. However, I've given all my >10 development provinces to Client States and/or vassals and still have the highest income (even after several month ticks), but the achievement doesn't fire. What am I doing wrong?
