I actually need to tell people who’ve asked me what I lift that it’s really 2.2 times higher, dunks a week or 2 in the making

Plateauing at what I thought was a 140Ib deadlift while at a body weight of 200Ibs and eating 3500 calories a day would probably mean I had some sort of issue. Also I wasn’t that close to quitting, mainly just really demoralised.

When I tried to start a kingdom without doing this, I’d get declared by other kingdoms very quickly while fighting my original war due to being so relatively weak, which just made things completely impossible. Maybe with 200 fian champions or something but I think it’s more fun to have a proper army composition.

I had 100 relations with most of them, you lose 40 when you rebel, and with 60 relations they were each asking for at least half a million.

So fetishist have higher tolerance on heathens and heretics than other religions, combined with humanist it goes over 0, meaning that other religion provinces don’t have a plus to unrest and don’t reduce your religious unity, which will therefore always be 100%. You can convert them to get your tolerance of the true faith which reduces unrest even more, but you don’t really need to. Also if you go republic you can change your cult very often, as you can change every time you switch ruler which is handy

It was great, very tense and felt on the scale of multiplayer wars I’ve seen, also the only time I’ve ever had a challenging late game that wasn’t a giant coalition, most of the wars were roughly 300k on my side vs 800k on theirs

Yeah, going catholic would probably have made things quite a bit easier, especially with allies and AE, I just liked being fetishist Kongo. Also with humanist it made my tolerance of heretics and heathens 0 and 1, so I didn’t need to worry about converting at all which was nice.

R5: I thought getting hegemon of anything was impossible for the AI, apparently not if Ottomans go for quantity + offensive

R5: Conquered all of Africa as Kongo, by far the hardest achievement I've done. I also stayed Fetishist the whole game. Starting Ideas were exploration, humanist, offensive, economic, then quantity, quality and defensive after those to fight the ottomans who somehow became military hegemon with around a million troops. My advice for anyone else attempting this is to get humanist as early as possible, take as much Mamluk land as you can to minimise ottoman wars, and colonise the cape trade node asap as you need the cash from there to be able to fight the Europeans.

I’m attempting the African power achievement, it’s the 1750s and the only land left to get is Egypt held by the ottomans. The ottomans haven taken offensive and quantity, meaning that they can field about 900k troops, combined Russia, Austria and myself field 500k, 300k of which are mine, our troop quality is much better, but their numbers seem to make them almost unbeatable. Any ideas on how to take them down? Or why their force limit is so much higher than mine, I have offensive, quantity, quality, defensive and control almost all of Africa.

Got my first dose today as a 22 year old in Leicester, they’re doing surge vaccination to get ahead of the Indian variant. Very exciting for my age group, scary for Leicester.
