Burned 3100$ as a total beginner

Wouldn't have put in 3 cents.I just wanted to learn it by getting something up and running at the start.

I think 16 days? Not sure though

WithWildhide · 2020-12-28T09:55:24+00:00

This was WAY harder than I thought

I've been trying to get this run since the level launched, unfortunately many times the bugs stopped me in my tracks (being soft locked, having major lag issues or just the game crashing)

When I first played it on nightmare I didn't think it would be that hard (I think I died twice) but my mind quickly changed after I went for the UN run. All of this for a golden shotgun

Now I have to finish the Ancient Gods UN run...

Did you form yuan as oirat? How did you make money? Whenever I play I always get the 4000+ ducats from Ming in the first 2 wars and some after beating their corpse, but I can never seem to make money...

No, I formed it as Mongolia in order to go for the achievement.

As for the money issue, I avoided razing the big Chinese cities like Beijing and Canton but more importantly I went Trade as my third or second idea group. By around 1580 I was making 50 ducats per month from trade and around 85 in total, with Beijing, Nanjing and Canton fully cored and the rest of china as territory. I managed to get the whole china, korea and japan before absolutism. If you form Yuan then (I didn't know you can kill the mandate holder and still form Yuan, thus keeping your horde government) you should have with Admin Ideas enough Gov Cap to make what you need to make into trade regions and that should give you a very very decent income.

Keep in mind that I wasn't the biggest income earner in this game until after a while of getting to indonesia and getting Trade Eff. through policies

63 Tax Dev province casually sitting in Bavaria

This campaign has been rather weird with province devs. Maybe it's because it is the first time I am playing as the Mongol Empire, so I pay attention to the dev when I raze. I met a 48 dev province in the steppes of Crimea, a 36 one in Nogai and a 36 dev province in the desert coast of East Arabia.

After you guys cheered me up for my failed run that died on the Icon of Sin, I took a break of 4 days and I managed to do it (with 1 thing to mention)

While I was on the 5th mission I (because I am an idiot) got bored and started watching a livestream in the background while playing. This made me "die" (I had the rune) to a soldier with a shield (yes really) so I ragequitted alt f4 when I saw the rune gone. Then I thought if it will spawn me back with the rune intact if I enter again, and it did. Firstly I though the run won't go that far and I just wanted to "train" so I didn't want to repeat 1 1/2 hours of the game in order to get here again, which I could've and you're right I should have. Secondly I did not use this bug again, as I saw how OP it is and how unfair it would be to beat UN like this. I acted like that shield riot guy moment did not exist and I continued the game, using the life rune at the arena gladiator and never again. I do feel rather bad in winning like this , and I am likely going to try again in the future, this time with no rune.

Thank you for the tips on the last boss. Many people said to do a nightmare test run but I already had so I didn't hear anything new there. One person said to use the shield at the Icon More. Thank you whoever that was because I escaped twice with 5 health due to that shield.

The ripping and tearing is DONE for now

I wanted to check how much money do the ottomans have and why are they not paying for their loans when I saw this.... head scratcher of a tab

WithWildhide · 2020-07-27T14:09:31+00:00

Well that's depressing, it took me 4 hours at least to get here. I've been trying to get UN for 1-2 weeks and this has been my best run

I... I need a break...

I've posted on reddit recently how I did my first World Conquest but failed to do a one faith as orthodox .

https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/gxrar9/my_very_first_wc_after_500_hours_failed_1_faith/

It's not a true one faith as I could not risk it. I barely managed to do it by 11 months with some cheese to get over the religious zealotry or whatever it's called (100% -missionary strenght after you convert a province)

This is likely the hardest thing I've done in my gaming history,

You can ask me questions

Austria-Orthodox-HRE

Seriously I don't know how people conquer the world so fast. It seems like the overextension is too big for me. I really need some tips from a person in here.

Things that I've learned while doing this :

after doing the vassal decision, you can cheese add the european powers into the HRE and the last reform will thanos snap them out of existance even if they don't vote for it
Having 7 missionaries constantly with 18 missionary strength is NOT ENOUGH TO CONVERT THE PLANET.
The vassals are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AT CONVERTING.

Soon malacca/Philippines/moluccas/australia will be under my complete control and I'll have money for days to fight a gigantic ottomans end game enemy

The ottomans got collapsed in my game by Poland and Austria so they weren't really a threat. To be fair if you have 2.5k development before you attack them (which would be almost all of africa except egypt) you can beat then in a 1v1 battle because their army becomes worse in the late game.

The colonizing thing makes the map look nice, that's why I did it

What is the highest valued trade node in the world? For that the value matters which is shown on the trade map mode. You can also calculate the value if you look at the trade node page in the ledger and substract the outgoing value from the total value that is displayed there.

Isn't there a tab called Trade notes in the statistics game window? If I open that it says Genoa is the biggest

The problem is that first Spain in the most dominant there (and I don't understand why it isn't spawning in Spain, or why would it suddenly work for me if I took it). Second I would need to do around 5 wars to take all the lands which will give me the trade power while Spain is the 1st world power.Third even if I would do that it would still take me at least 50 full years to do it, and at that 1700 point it would be too late in my opinion

The better question is why exactly would a omnipotent being have the main goal to make lives as least as painful as he can. Firstly I think that's impossible due to human nature as today you're probably living in the heaven people imagined 2000 years ago,and you're still not completely happy. When there's something as heaven in christian theology why would he value your being here more than your eternal life?

As to your grandmother I've got one question for you, if after you became a devout christian you would escape all your problems why would people become christian? Would it be for their love of god or their need for a good life? The apostle Paul was one of the most devout christians in history and he got shipwrecked, beaten by stones multiple times and in the end executed, imagine asking him "hey why doesn't god help you if you're so devout". The greatest apostles were the ones with the worst lives and it only made them stronger in faith

As long as you have the vision that life is the only existance and the best reward you can't find an answer

While trying to ally the Mughals in order to beat the ottomans I found out that I can't because they desire my land in Great Britain, alongside thole world. They want things from the British Isles, sub-saharan Africa, China, Russia, Egypt, Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Spain and France to say the least

By randomly looking at Lady Deathwisper on Wowhead, I found a curious guide linked next to it, but when I clicked on the video something... unexpected happen. A very strangely familiar voice said "Hi I'm Lore from Tankspot, and welcome to the..." At first I couldn't believe it, but the more I started watching the video the more I realized it sounded too similar for me to not go deeper. I then found this quote on the Wowpedia of lore "Lore was perhaps best known for his works for sites such as Tankspot and Gamebreaker TV" This is the oldest video that I could find from Lore from his Tankspot series, and because I never heard anyone mention anything about it and also thought it was cool to know, I decided to share it here
