Ludi where is Anglican, Confucian, Sikh and Alcheringa?

One reason why I prefer Orthodox over Catholic is that I'm lazy and I can't be bothered to constantly donate to the Pope, manually trigger and re-trigger all the bonuses, and roll the dice on becoming curia controller. Orthodox bonuses are mostly nice and passive. You renew your Icon every now and again, and you're good.

When i saw the tumbnail i thought: "yep, Ludi's Nose is the strongest religion in EU4".

Confucanism is just OP when played right. Then there is the Tengri + Horde combo that complements each other

Rip Anglican,Skih,Alcheringa and confucianism. Never forget, expect by Ludi

Confucianism and Aboriginal religion. One thing to mention about totemism is that you can't get negative traits on your leaders.

All religions are equal... except if you live in EU4

Hussite also gets free deus vult in next patch, they have a natural +2 missionary strength against heretics so they don't really need religious ideas until later.

You actually forgot four: alcheringa, confucian, anglican and sikh

Anglican Sikh and Confucian and that Australian one that everyone forgets about 😢

Ludi, you've forgotten that every church aspect in protestantism gives you some bonus for 10 years for ex that AE one gives you 10% WC vs other religions for 10 years

You would be missing my favourite, Confucianism. I like to be able to syncretize with every other religion, and you can collect very nice bonuses by the end, although it's a religion that takes time to start rolling, but once you've syncretized Muslim and Christian, you can go on a conquering spree. My favourite is pairing it with the Mughals for that extra "United in diversity" WC feel. You can do it the normal way, but I prefer to make it with custom nations. Make an Afghan Muslim nation in Delhi to make Mughals day 1. Then make a couple of small ones nearby, with lost cultures and Confucianism, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. This way you make sure to not miss bonuses form any of the two features. Once you form Mughals with the first nation, conquer the Confucian one and convert, either through rebellion or decoring your base provinces. It's also interesting to get some cool ideas, and to make it easier to convert you don't need too much in terms of land and can go ham with the ideas. Things like all cost reduction, core reduction, less AE, discipline, morale, and admin efficiency. The rest is up to personal preference, you can go for dev cost reduction, combat ability, fire damage, plain monthly war exhaustion reduction, diplo relations, annexation cost, tech cost, idea cost, goods produced, tax, trade,... To name a few ones. But again, that's more personal preference and playstyle.

Its 3 religions didnt mention Confucion, Sikh and Anglican.

Ludi help I cant stop watching the estates guide 😓😓😓

Khmer can be played with either Theravada or Hindu. That's because historically the Khmer empire was Hindu and by the start of EU4 it had converted to Theravada Buddhism only recently, and the religious divisions were one of the reasons of the decline of the empire (in Buddhism, the emperor cannot be worshiped as a god, wich weakened his legitimacy). Of course in EU4 Hindu is better, but you have to convert to it and you can do so by accepting demands from Hindu rebels, wich you can do immediately because more than half of your developement is Hindu.

Confusian and Alcheringas were missing i think! Confusian would be my number 1 personally, being able to synchretise with every single religion and get some pretty good buffs from each one makes it just unbelievably good I cant say I've played as the Aboriginal people in Australia though, so I couldn't rank alcheringas personally. Maybe somewhere around hinduiism from what I've seen?

Ludi, there is temporary effects for Protestant aspects. For example, if you take -5% AE, you also get -10% War score cost vs. other religions for first 10 years. or if you get -5% dev cost, you also get -10% Construction cost for 10 years. And to reset counter, you just take that aspect again.

Love you Ludi!!! You're the BEST!!!!

Ludi forgot Anglican and cofusian, I think Anglican is really strong

Playing an England campaign rn and Anglicanism is crazy overpowered. Far better than reformed for sure, and is honestly the most powerful reformation religion.

Ludi, you're going to talk down on Inti after Quarbit introduced the world to Inti-maxxing the other day? They'll have all the missionary strength in the world with Winds of Change

I think you've outdone yourself with the thumbnail Ludi. Belongs in the Louvre

don't forget that every protestant aspect also has an added affect for a few years (you need to hover over the aspect to see it), so often switching or reloading the aspects makes it much stronger also... alcheringa? anglican? confucian? these weren't in the video (and did you talk about tengri or did i miss that?)

Ludi: “I didn’t mention 2 religions, which are they?” Me: “Technically you didn’t mention 32 different religions that are part of the game. The 4 from the base game: Sikh, Anglican, Confucian and Alcheringa and the 28 from converting Ck2 -> Eu4: Bogomilist, Cathar, Freticelli, Iconoclast, Lollard, Messalian, Monophysite, Monothelite, Nestorian, Paulician, Waldensian, Druze, Hurufi, Kharijite, Yazidi, Zikri, Bön, Hellenic, Romuva, Slavic, Suomenusko, Zunist, Jainism, Karaite, Samaritan, Khurmazta, Manichean and Mazdaki.

I miss also confucian, it's my #1 religion at all

Confucian is great now, they get a CB for Humanist ideas so you can expand like crazy and have no rebels, they have access to fantastic monuments, the harmonization buffs are pretty good too… for anyone who hasn’t done it yet, strongly recommend playing a Ming releasable (Yan or Shun is best) into Manchu into Qing run with Mandate of Heaven and Confucianism, you’ll be amazed by how stable you can make your country while also stacking ridiculous buffs

That utter frustration while talking about spawning the Norse religion was real. Was wondering what you'd say after that playthrough.

I like your videos!! From Japan

Sikh and Alcheringa are two you haven't mentioned. I have no idea about Sikh, but Alcheringa is powerful. It is a guaranteed very hard start, though. There's also ""Anglican"" for the ""bri*ish"" and Confucian, but that's more of a philosophy and also kinda represented as one in game. It can be good, but I couldn't get the harmony mechanic to work well when I played with it. I also only tried it once so there's that.

anglican is the one i was waiting for as a die hard england player

I think Ludi had some special deal with the Pope to ensure Catholicism was at the top of the list

Your forgetting the greatest one, Alcheringa

As Russia without even really intentionally doing it, I stacked like -60% construction cost and pretty good dev cost too, really helped spam out manufactories in my hundreds of provinces lol

I mean - Confucianism is a slow burn. But with how you can get cores all over the Chinese subcontinent (as Korea or even Ryuku - I‘d say it‘s unbelievably strong. Especially if you combine it w/ Humanist ideas and the confucian-specific monuments for harmonising religions + Mandate growth, you can really kickstart a campaign pre 1500. (And harmonizing religions + Tolerance ideas is just a broken combo. I‘m actually unsure on how all the monuments currently work w/ harmonised religions, but it ought to be stupidly strong)

Imho anglican is one of the strongest military religions, because it singlehandly pays off your mercenary militarization (10% discipline) and gifts you 100diplo per press as mercantilism. The anglican+merc comb is very strong for tall colony britain. You can swarm enemies with 140% discipline mercenaries and your army doesnt need to be touched once

Ludi, Hindu is one of the best religion in eu4 now. There is the best monuments in the world which can built only as hindu nation. Because of that you can have TONS of bonuses. You include monuments aspect because this changes a lot. And... in my opinion Nahuatl is quiet good. Not the best but good

The best one is totemist, you can stack discipline, moral and ae impact, or if you are weirdo tax meta. To basically 10 times if you lucky with your rulers.

Alcheringa - Low tier Confucian - Upper Middle Tier

It was worth to do a tier list.

Yo Ludi you forgot about the crusade buff for Cathlics

That is not fair ludi! I wish to know more about the other religions and wich u think is good to play as

Sikh Confucian and Anglican are not even mentioned

For the missing alcheringa, sikh and anglican couldn't say much cus never played as them, only I know that Alcheringa has the best totem in the game that gives you flat 3 monarch point bonus in the game. For the confucian its depends with whom you play it. With everyone its top 5 behind totemist, catholics, orthodox , reformed-prot-hussite and islam, but if you take it as mugals its first by far. It will speed up your wc , to the point of being ridiculous, as say having 400% overextension and not feeling it, and I don't even mantion the bonuses you get for synchronization of religions.

No Husite mention Ludi. They're also really op

Do you still consider the Aztec Inca Maya religions as weaker even after the buffs they are getting from Winds of Change?

Confucian aren't bad too. Just ability to make all Islam or all Christianity equal to true faith, even after 50 years of harmonisation is very useful. You just don't need any missionary at all. Modifiers from harmonization aren't as good as from top 3. But still it is much better than Shinto for comparasion.

Zoroastrian is arguably the strongest religion. The zoroastrian equivalent of the "power to the clergy" government reform gives you a government mechanic that gives you +1 of whichever monarch power you want and a buff, depending on which you pick. Later on, if you have enough holy sights, you can have all 3 buffs running at once Permanently.

I find Anglican to be quite strong in a colonial CUSTOM nation game. Can have it from the start with some clever manipulations for a custom nation, and the bonuses are goooood. Especially for an early game start. Also... I was super curious where you ranked the others like Alcheringa and Sikh. Sikh also being a quite strong religion, especially on a custom nation. YES I KNOW, I'M A CUSTOM NATION FOOL. 😆

Dude, FINALLY someone admitted that Reformed is actually very good (after the buff), easily one of my favourite religions now Btw top 4 is spot on.

I tried playing something new but I just can't do anything else than re-form Rome with either an italian state or Byzantium, Roma in aeternum.

saying Mayan isn't good when it has 20%CCR is ridiculous. That's the highest CCR for any religion in the game without having to use a monument. Absolutely OP for blobbing

Anglican and Confucian are probably theses Mythical religions he talked about For Anglican, i would say somewere around Reformed and Protestant Confucian im not sure, it can be pretty strong, because with its "harmonisation" mechanics its basically tengrie without the limitation to 1 religion But it is also not that easy to get all the modifiers, but certainly top 3 i would assume

Catholic is super good if you are the only Catholic country, so many concurrent bonuses, Crusade on anyone you want, it's pretty good.

Hi Ludi. It has nothing to do with religions and EU 4 but you should check out the game memoriapolis, you have to build a city accross time periods. I swear they didn’t give me their wallets to do this message.

Both Sikh and Confucian I find to be very strong. The latter lets you basically ignore religion/missionaries while the former has access to quick army professionalism.

why can austria form germany without admin tech 20 but prussia don't ?

Cristian religions have other huge bonus: personal unions.

Honestly, I think youre sleeping on the Inti religion, once reformed you get (when maxed): monthly autonomy change of -.10, Yearly absolutism +2, Moral damage +15%, Advisor cost reduction (same religion) -25%. Theres also some pretty decent monuments in the Incan lands too.

Javanese Hindu nations also get the Buddha as a deity which gives advisor cost reduction and tolerance of heathens I believe. :)

confucisom is pretty good

More than 2 missed. Sikh , Confucianism, Anglican. All have decent bonuses in game.

What no Jedi religion. The force limit is unlimited. You could have a monument in Tatouine in Tunisia and you could make the Tunis - Cape trade run in less than five parsecs.

To be fair Orthodox religion feels somewhat forgotten in any update

To note : Coptic is christian so it enables PUs

thank you for making this video you missed the biggest part about Jewish or didn't stress enough why it is so powerful. You get extra church power PER final war win declaration which you can convert into FLAT government reform progress. No mechanic whatsoever in the game can reflect that. So this gives a special playstyle worth mentioning Also Buddhist religions give a good amount of extra missionaries through monuments, if you ever feel for going one faith, which is quite comfortable. Small things: Catholizism is the only religion that can possibly give -20% construction cost (holy order + pope interaction). Slap that onto National Ideas, Infrastructure and merchant republic and you get a nice ~60 % without much effort. Can go as high as 90%, if you want to play tall. some Fetishists get +5% discipline right away in 1444 (same as with Buddhist). While this may change and gets weaker over time, this gives a boon for smaller nations especially. Holy Order for Muslim/Catholic can be spammed by changing religion, giving the cheapest "pseudo" deving possible

any christian religion because you can PU other christians pu is most OP thing in this game.

Alcheringa, Anglican, Confucian and Sikh are missing

How can i change religion when i have a big empire and converting province by province is not a good way? Can i do it fast and unpainfull?

If I didnt miss anything, the two are anglican and mayan, mayan below nahuatl, and anglican below protestant, good list btw

For trade based nations Anglican is definitely the strongest, getting 1 mercantilism every year or two is so OP.

Where is Anglican? Also some Hindu nations get the Buddha deity which gives them access to a few extra landmarks.

Confucian is excellent and let you use quite many Greate monements

Ludi you forgot about the crusade mechanics of catholicism.😄

any religion that makes horse strong(everbody know pinacle of army is giga JUAN)

Anglobros: Left the chat

I personally would say the catholic defender of faith isn't as strong as other defenders of faith, because of the fighting inside the HRE and because you aren't the only big nation with it, there is a very good chance other nations get it away from you regularly, like in my recent France run, the title got stolen from me several times by minor HRE nations even tho I had around 80 prestige

Do you know you look like Aspinall UFC fighter ?

Confucian is on the thumbnail. Not even mentioned. WTF Ludi!? :D Also doesn't touch Angelican or Sikh.

without all the dlc, so with de basic EU4 I think what you will have to re ranking everything XD

Anglicanism, Sikhism, and Alcheringa were missed I believe

I wonder if it's still Orthrodox after all these years

With monuments no way is Norse on par with Hindu, imo.

DAMN, a month to get Norse?

ludi you forgot alcheringa sikh and no_religion

Bro mentioned spice rich lands and almost mentioned arrakis 11:40

What about austrailia?

You need to apologies for disrespecting us, the ccr worshipers

you didnt talked about Anglican and Confucian.

confucianism and anglican?

Todays subject: Best religion

maybe use eu4 wiki bevore making a video

Its Orthodox, thank me later guys

Ludi why didnt you mention that Judaism gets accepted culture bonuses wherever you have the religion!!!

confucian is op

Corn in Cantonese

no views? 50 seconds ago? poor

All pagan religions have option of taking mandate of heaven, so starting as fetishist and then taking mandate of heaven is hilarious.

The best religion is Zoroastrianism

Missing, anglican and confucianism. Anglican same or below protestant. Confucianism same or better than totemist, because once harmonize other eastern religions like Shinto and Buddhism, can get the bonus from the monuments.
