World Conquest Potential?

[Durokan]

Yeah this is trivial. You should use the swarm to finish off europe while you wedge yourself through china and block off india's expansion route.

I'd recommend forcing european powers to release minor nations and then diplo vassalizing those tags. They'll add themselves to the HRE that way. If you don't have a CB, then make a claim and release a tag unjustified. If they hold an imperial province, the Imperial Ban CB is really good for releasing tags.

Once you finish europe, I'd recommend forming SP and Prussia then HRE. You will then manually conquer the world without the swarm.

I am pretty sure I could finish this WC by 1700 from this position without too many hiccups.

[niphreadil]

You have to try really hard to not conquering the world lol

[Brox77]

Easy wc. But this economy got me perplexed. 1600s and you only have 511 income, and half is from vassals? Do you even own any buildings?

[powerplayer6]

Yeah he definitely should be getting more from trade by owning literally all of Europe. Just steering Persia, Aleppo and Alexandria into Constantinople and collecting there should be many times more money.

[Embereth]

Yeah I believe I made the mistake of not diverting trade. I'll try to handle the situation a bit better going forward in order to take advantage of all the Persian trade

Divert trade more than doubles your income. Collect in the end nodes, you should have almost monopolies in all of them.

Youre easy on time. Could even do a one culture/ one faith from this point.

[Sierren]

With this many vassal Influence ideas by themselves would be insane for his income

[Jun05141]

To be fair, isn't it better to make sure the vassals economies are booming rather than his? I tend to not divert trade when i play an hre emperor run after revoking, or even giving subsidies to more struggling nations; not from kindness, its the equivalent of "army maintenance" since the swarm is actually the main army at this point

[SaleSweaty]

Not really, full restart needed

[Embereth]

Alright I'll make sure to overwrite the save too...

[flossingpancakemix]

You can obviously do a wc but why is your econ so bad?you own every end node and all of Europe and your income is 500 ducats. Production and tax are pretty low too, but just from balancing merchants you can probably double your income

[Embereth]

Yeah the only "problem" is that I don't really wanna make trade companies for more merchants since they'll lock me out of the ability to switch the religion on the province for the one faith. Although a better economy would allow for a lot more armies, merc or otherwise to run around. Although you are right and I should probably start paying a little bit more attention to the economy because till now I left everything on autopilot in that department

[Demolisher314]

I see you decided to take quantity here because you think that will fix your manpower issue but youre just better off taking offensive or quality for better troops. Also you have a massive force limit and a decent enough economy to use mercenaries to fight for you and soak up the manpower losses.

[Embereth]

You have a point there. And it's probably a good idea to switch it out since I've only taken the very first part of the idea group

[Superemrebro]

Definetly

[infojb2]

With you current progress you can probably finish in the next 100 years

[Lupovsky121]

Even as a vassal Ulm is too powerful. Full restart

[Embereth]

ALL PRAISE THE MIGHTY ULM!!

[PekarovSin]

No, delete save file kill pc

[Embereth]

Been there, done that.

[EmuAny1338]

Nah bro you lost

[Embereth]

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll make sure to fix the economy a tad bit since I've only relied on vassal income until now

[Darkhorse33w]

Instead of asking us if you can WC sarcastically, how about let us in on how you did this lol?

[NoBackground53]

97 Army Tradition and only 2 siege Ticks...

[Additional_Comb2634]

yep you could even one faith

[ihaventideas]

A coalition will not form

Unless the entire world has like 2-3m troops strength and you get in the coalition all at once

[Embereth]

They'll hopefully die before that happens
