That's a great point there!

@@LudietHistoria It really makes no sense, but it's been that way for all nations since 1.31 I usually keep some rival slots saved up for that purpose.

Yeah, but it don't matter much tbh, as you saw in the video, with 5% crownlands and Rukh dead still kept them in check easily

Useful if you dont have cradle of civilization or whatever dlc iqta government is in

@@LudietHistoria no way you actually searched it

That's a great point there actually John! I normally keep sistan so I don't lose the Strong Duchies Privileges until I get another vassal

Glad you enjoyed!

Of course they're an EU4 DLC, they cost 500$ monthly subscription :(

@@LudietHistoria 500 is still fairly cheap xD

Just ally Granada, can diplovassalize them later when you're a bit closer.

ja ja

You got this Eldanaro! DROP AND GIVE ME 20 WORLD CONQUESTS BUOI

Thanks Lucas, appreciate the kind words ^-^

I agree, I tried that with chagatai actually but it didn't work, even with reduced opinion they still joined sadly

@@LudietHistoria I can attack free cities in HRE with this tactic, just the opinion has to be negative don't know for sure. Or maybe wait a month, but yeh

​@@awaken2049 But It doesn't work on emperor of HRE, he will join no matter what with his allies even though he has -200 with the country you want to attack.

Ah, now i see you're a man of culture as well

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Yup also true, which is another reason why I never take those cores

Bullshit, yes it takes alil bit but these are free cores, and you can also could take just one province more and you could also release casachstan, so what is the point?

@@granockss9548 before writing nonsense, go and try it yourself first. they are indeed free cores for transoxiana. but they aren't Timurid's cores, hence when annexing transoxiana, you will have to pay diplo points instead of waiting for the month tick. that's the point

@@granockss9548 The alternate is to immediately war north into Nogai after integrating base size Transoxiana. This gives you a line into Orthodox lands to cripple Muscovy and also gives you a piece of Kazakh for the standard Northern March release.

Spawn it in. Check the cheapest province to develop and dev it until u get institution

NANI

It depends on the nation. If a nation expands fast its good to give the plus 1 mana priviledges as when u expand u get crownlands but if u wont expand much it will be harder to get your crownlands back

@@LudietHistoriathx for your answer :)

Trade companies and the building that reduces local governing cap in every province

Tyranids? You playing filthy xenos?

@@theemperor-wh40k18 Well, unless I went as Sweden or Brandenburg I can't exactly run a Space Marines WC. And I dunno if I wanna do my first WC as a HRE Prussian Emperor which seems the only way to survive their governing capacity issues

I got the bad event lol

@@LudietHistoria don't apologize to me Ludi keep on fkin rocking

You dont get corruption from too much land in 1.31, that was a mechanic that was in the game before. If you talking about corruption from overextention just invest money in lowering corruption, should be enough

occupy the fort in hormuz

Thanks bro I had a funny mood recording it

Fellow average enjoyer?

yeah 1k+ hrs of single player exp .... oh, and in eu4 too 🤣

Hello there!

Because otto rival him already

Still Mongolia -> Uzbek culture to form Mughal then smash China for Confulands I'd think. I've been messing with it a bit and the real hangup is the bit after you're in Samarkand and Instituted.

the difficulty would be spreading Zoroastrian to enough territories to accept conversion. Even harder than a Confughal run and that's rough enough.

Your capital changes automatically to India. Keep it there, all is well in there!

That's extremely easy man, if you want the achievement, you have to do it as one of Timurid's starting vassals, not as Timurids, and I plan on covering Afghanistan for that achievement!

@@LudietHistoria Perfect thanks man it has been a struggle for me so that might be why. Thank you for your videos I have nearly a thousand hours in the game and still learn something new all the freaking time.

@@connorsorensen7272 no worries man, keep on enjoying eu4 bro! ^-^

@@LudietHistoria Also forgot to mention this I might have found an exploit that can make conquering even faster. If you attack the vassal of a Coalition member in 1.31 it only brings in the overlord and their direct allies not the coalition despite what the co-belligerent screen says. It definitely has sped up some of my conquests.

@@connorsorensen7272 thanks for that info! Will check it an if it works will do a video out of it! Will mention you in it too!

That's a good pick then, better than ottos!

This is so inconsistent. It is rarely available and I'm not sure how. I tried several combinations between having smaller army, disloyal vassals, loans, no rivals, all rivals, allies, no allies and i mostly did not get the option to rival them in the first few months. This is as of 1.34

no first you switch to Merchant Republic and take plutocracy (pre-Mughal) then you take innovative, then you go for espionage. Gotta play them angles!

Them najd feels xD

You mean for the monument? Yes, province must be zoroastrian

Muslims have the Dhimmi. Of you're not doing one Faith WC there really is no reason to convert out of it. Even if it is a one faith , Catholic and Sunni are still the two best religions for it.

@@turkepic3637 Mughals don't get Dhimmi.

i need to redo this brother, timurids are insane

@@LudietHistoria I know it may sounds tiresome but You never reformed the Timurids. Just make a guide on how to reform the Timurids as Baluchistan or Uzbek for example, nothing much else

Too many xD

oh bro, just realized what I said xD

It can be good to spend the first 50 on a swap to Merchant Republic pre-Mughal forming, grab their ideas.

Agreed on oirats and majapahit but big no on ming

@@LudietHistoria I think many people underestimate Ming, while it is WC monster. 1) You can get to 45% CCR in about 50 years (decree + 4th celestial reform + admin ideas --> prosperity tributaries stability to quickly increase mandate, with new patch and forbidden palace it is even easier) 2) You have easy opportunity to get rid of this weak ruler early on 3) You have casus belli on every bordering nation - force tributary. Instead making tributaries just take some land. Tributaries will pay for unjustified demands 4) Harmonised religion acts like true faith. In one harmonisation you can make the whle Europe true faith 5) You have the greatest tool to limit aggresive expansion - tributaries. And all small / medim nations would be eager to become one, removng them from coalition pool. 6) Tributaries act like regular subjects in terms of expanding coring range, allowing you to easily teleport to India, Africa and Europe. For example make Oirat tributary after sacrfisiing your hopeless ruler. Than attack Chagatai - you can take and core provinces bordering Oirat. Then you have 2 paths: tribute Uzbek and kill Transoxiana or vice versa. Start eating Muscovy in 1470 and Ottomans in 1490. They have no power yet compering to yours. 7) When all the powers are gone, start eating tributaries 8) Prevent devastation early - it is eating your mandate. Be aware though only states can be devastated! Just keep fortified north and east China, destate the rest 9) Separatist rebels? Tributaries are stupid enough to kill minor stacks for you I know Ming isn't popular with its non-existing mission tree, but national ideas are VERY strong, including -10% idea cost as TRADITION! Followed by early discipline, some economy boosts and impressive ambition of 30% improve relation. I am also aware having low mandate is annoying, but you can really ignore those few years when you need to raise it from 30 to 50. While all reforms are done, 100% mandate make Ming exceptionally stable

@@enKageKagen They still are a nation really tricky to play with and can't be considered "easy" when you have to understand the game a lot to just keep a stable country. Going WC is hard with mandate when you are trying your 1rst one. I mean, I do get Ming is a powerhouse. But they are hard af to play with in comparison with a lot of other country. Russia, Autria, Spain, England, France, Otto, almost any horde, or timurid are way way easier to do a 1rst WC than ming. Because for a lot of nation, the hardest is to manage to get a strong early game, once done, you just steamroll. Ming can't after early game, because you need to take care of mandate.

So it is time for tutorial how to pass all (or all but one) celestial reforms in less than 50 years. After that moment Ming with 100 mandate is far more stable than every nation you mentioned. @Ludi et historia I think I know what video you can do next :)

he kept sistan around to keep strong duchies going afaik

@@Codan3 strong duchies only requires 2 vassals, timmy starts with 4

@@CharlieKellyEsq the privilege is removed when you have 0 vassals, He kept sistan around to keep strong duchies going until he got another vassal in india.

that's +50 LD i think

Happy pride month bro

F for my brother Admedo :(

I apreciate it my brudha

I'd guess because Timurids get claims in Arabia, while the Mughal tree is all about India. Plus being able to swap between fighting Islam and fighting Hindu (and eventually Christians) helps keep AE from becoming a problem.

It's good to restrict Otto-Luks and there are some monuments in the area.
