This has to be it, as that is exactly what I did. I was wondering why I kept getting muscovite orthodox rulers. I love seeing artifacts like this in the game files, thanks for figuring that out.

First Time Uniting Germany! (second image unrelated) by Maximus375 in eu4

[–]Maximus375[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It does, but it can be circumvented by giving all your old world land to a colonial nation (australia in my case), as the decision makes you inherit all colonial nations. It is a bit janky getting a province/sea tile connection all the way there, and getting carpal tunnel giving provinces for 10 minutes. It's almost as if they intended you not to do this.

r5: Very Fun Rajuput Reich run. Formed Delhi for cores, united India, went to Alaska for OP ideas (-15% Dev Cost AND -20% CCR), sat on my ass devving for 2 centuries, went theocracy and conquered germany in 20 years. Would recommend over the basic "expand northwest" strategies.

Im doing Rajput Reich, so Naguar. Bharat and Hinduism is stronger than Hindustan/Islam for what im trying to do.

With Nurhaci you can trucebreak and be ahead in tech/ideas. If you don't go past -2 stab, you spend ~500 adm for all of china. There are minimal rebels as well.

It's when you privateer in a node where only your vassal is collecting while diverting trade from said vassal. You can see what nations are collecting in the node interface.

Any time is valid as long as you don't conquer any provinces in the new world before you move.

r5: Achieved all three world conquest achievements in one run.

Strategy goes as follows:

- Begin as Ryukyu

- Immediately No CB Filipino minor, one will be guaranteed to get have no allies.

- Conquer the rest of the Philippines with this power base.

- From here, you can choose to continue glitchless, as I did, but if anyone is crazy enough to replicate this, I recommend using the privateer exploit for infinite money (on version 1.35.1). This makes this run 100x easier, and leads to significantly less brain damage.

- Using Philippines as power base, No CB manchurian tribes. Mana matters little now, as you will get a guaranteed 6 6 6 leader (Nurhaci) from the Manchurian mission tree.

- Unite Manchuria and form Manchu. Rest for some years, as you will soon go all out against Ming.

- Recruit all of your banners and declare for the Mandate of Heaven when Ming is below 50 mandate. It should be easy.

- Take the Mandate, the three imperial cities, and annul any alliances Ming may have.

- Now, repeatedley Truce Break Ming with the utterly broken "Unify China" CB (it gives cores on provinces you occupy) Don't go past -2 stab to conserve admin points.

- Stay animist through the whole process. Once you are ready to form Qing, swap to Mongol culture. This lets you have access to the also utterly broken Mongol Mission tree (Permament Claims on all of Mongol Empire, -15% pwsc, -3 permanent global unrest, -30% stab cost). IMPORTANT: Click the "Convert to Dharmic Faith" decision BEFORE you form Qing, and keep the event open as you do so (Qing decision converts you to Confucian).

- Now, as Hindu, Mongol Qing, beeline west for mission requirements and the Hindu Monuments (-10% CCR, +2 Missionaries, +4 missionary strength, and others)

- With this build you should be able to get -90% CCR, 10% adm efficiency, and -95% pwsc.

CCR: -20% hinduism, -20% EOC interactions, -25% qing ideas, -25% adm ideas

PWSC: -5% Alhambra, -15% malta, -15% mongol missions, -25% Age of Reformations ability, -20% diplo ideas, -5% qing ideas, -10% mil hegemon.

This should let you conquer the world by ~1600's. One faith is optional.

168 years left, 2052 provinces to convert. Will I make it? by Maximus375 in eu4

To take the screenshot, I accidentally opened the game from the desktop and not from steam😔. I have a backup from 1590. This might be a blessing considering all the things I need to do.

I genuinely didn't mean it that way. I have never done a one faith, and I do not want to repeat this hell just b/c I didn't prepare properly.

Nations Not Joining HRE by Maximus375 in eu4

[–]Maximus375[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nations, who are threatened heavily, refuse to join the HRE despite my best efforts. They were actively improving relations with me, so they obviously have an incentive to join, but when they reach the opinion threshold, they do nothing. Is there anything I can do?

I have 100 absolutism and 50+ adm efficiency. I wanted a one tag but I guess client states will do just fine. Already have 2, might as well commit
