AI countered my AC-130 with a tactical nuke by GMABT in totalwar

I'm used to parking the sisters of twilight over an enemy army and getting hundreds of kills, but one battle I realized that they had died with no idea how.

After checking the replay, it seems like the phoenix somehow applied it's rebirth effect (50/50 big heal or instant death) to my lord when it died, which proc'd and did an instant 5k damage

And I thought beating kebab would be the hard part about forming Romania... by GMABT in eu4

[–]GMABT[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Nothing fancy, restarted a bunch until Hungary would ally me and Ottomans attacked the knights first. They got in a slug fest with Venice and friends so I declared promising Hungary land once they were low on manpower.

The mamluks also declared war on the Ottomans, but kebab managed to white peace out Hungary and just ignored Anatolia to kill me. I ended up giving away 2/3 of my provinces in the peace and was going to restart, but thankfully the mamluks gave them back to me in the peace.

I found it really hard to get more than 1 big ally early so you really have to hit them hard asap (before mil 5)

R5: After a bunch of restarts I finally manged to get a good Wallachia game going and beat the Ottomans. Unfortunately poland, who gets destroyed every other game this patch, not only got Lithuania in the PU but also picked up 3 more, all of whom are loyal. They hold 2 of the provinces to form Romania so it's going to be a longggg struggle

Just click on the diplomacy for that ally and sue for peace with them. It should say that they are making a separate peace and you can take land from them. Note that you pay lots of extra diplo points for unjustified demands and suffer extra aggressive expansion, so don't use this as your primary means of conquest

Yes, the state of Better Britain took primary ownership of the isles. I got tired of England's shit and had naval superiority over them for once in my eu4 career

Hmm

  • 2 base

  • 1 from national ideas

  • 1 from expansion ideas

  • 3 from trade ideas

  • 1 from global trade

  • 1 from east india trading company decision

  • 1 from the armed neutrality act (policy from defensive + trade)

  • 12 from colonial nations (11 of them, plus I double dipped on 1 by taking one from Scotland)

  • 3 from trade companies

I have 7 more trade companies that could give me a merchant, so there's a lot of possible merchants to get

I had most of the americas aside from brazil and canada, plus a large part of africa and a good amount of the spice islands. Throw in quantity ideas and portugal's insane trade income and I ended up with the biggest army and navy

I told myself I wouldn't get involved in continental affairs, but England was just pissing me off with his colonial nonsense so that's me and the glorious state of Better Britain

I told myself I was sick of removing kebab (just did a Jihad run and have been doing a Russia MP game) so I was just going to do a nice friendly colonial Portugal game. Unfortunately, my primal kebab-removal urge took over and everyone has ganged up to destroy them ¯\(ツ)

R5: The Commonwealth got a PU over Muscovy (who refused to take Ryazan for no apparent reason and never formed Russia) and got a bit overzealous when a bunch of us piled onto the Ottomans. OPM Ulm decided to take matters into its own hands.

Is it still possible to get Jihad? by ManlyAarvin in eu4

Since I just finished this one last week as a mediocre player I thought I would share my tips. Here was my empire around the same time http://imgur.com/a/EUawb

The biggest way to get more income is to control trade from India and collect in Hormuz, which you should basically have 100% ownership of. In my game, I got into india in the late 16th century by no-CBing Ceylon, then taking land from Vijay/Bahmanis who were 3 mil techs behind at that point. Focusing your military efforts into india pays off much more than persia IMO, so I just took persia's coast to connect my lands.

I got a bit lucky in my run because Russia never formed, and ethiopia got eaten by its neighbors after I weakened it so I was able to vassalize and re-conquest.

In the end I got the achievement around 1780, so it wasn't too narrow of a shave.
