In the HRE, you sometimes fight someone you don't immediately border. If your based allies immediately siege everything, then they can't transfer occupation and you can't take territory or vassalize them, which didn't happen often that I wanted provinces that far away but it is insanely ridiculously frustrating when it happened

I have an army about 350,000 men strong (I am over force limit, but gently caress that, planning on fielding 50-100,000 further men, I can afford it), with client states (currently only Republican Spain in Catalonia, Aragon and central Spain and Republican Italy in Milan) adding a further 150,000 to this. Now I want to expand into the Netherlands and Alsace-Lorraine against Austria, however Austria and much of Europe is in a coalition against me. If Russia is not in the coalition & is not the subject of someone in the coalition, declaring on them will not trigger a coalition war.

How far northwest do the Turkish names for provinces go? I like watching the Balkans turn into Turkworld and I'm only as far as eating Serbia and Wallachia.

So I got humanism for Japan with the hopes that the 50% cultural acceptance idea would allow easy integration of Ainu and Korean cultures - but both are still red to me; bug? Unrelated but also: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=477002639 There is a Polandball flag mod - this is good.

Yeah, what's the actual acceptance threshold? Even with the discount, Ainu is never going to clear 10% of your development total without some crazy intervention. Korean probably could, depending on what exactly you own.

Korean is like a good quarter or so iirc if he holds all their provinces.Thunder Moose posted:So I got humanism for Japan with the hopes that the 50% cultural acceptance idea would allow easy integration of Ainu and Korean cultures - but both are still red to me; bug? Have you waited a couple of months? It can take a while to tick over. Ainu will never be accepted I don't think, but Korean should be fine even if you don't have Humanism. Only thing I can think of is that you developed the Japanese provinces a whole bunch or something.

How feasible is it to get Master of India and Definitely the Sultan of Rum in the same run? It's the Ottomans so I assume 'very', but I'm not super keen on doing another megablob run and I'd like to minimise my play time as them.

Worst map color in the game? I guess it's pretty similar to Tunis', it's just a bummer to form a relatively tough country and be greeted with that as a reward, and ideas I don't like as much as the ones I just had. If it wasn't ironman I would edit it to Romania's color in hoi2. Wishing I had hit that button in 1820.

That should be perfectly doable, unless you get the rare game where Muscovy actually manages to both take a bunch of land early and get its poo poo together enough to actually hold it. I'd say try to grab Rome relatively early, then while all of Europe hates you sneak your way up towards Moscow through the Timurids/Uzbek/Kazan/Nogai area of the map. Grabbing up India will be the easiest part, especially once you get a couple admin efficiency bonuses combined with the Imperialism CB, although drilling your way there through the Qara Qoyunlu/Timurids/Persia blob will take time. Just stay focused and alternate your wars so that you don't accidentally build up AE across multiple continents and have this happen to you:

Also, about the Jihad achievement, I think the only reason it's not one of the rarest achievements is because at one point it was bugged and all you had to do to get it was to load the game as Najd in ironman. It's doable, but it's in the "insane" category with 3 mountains, world conquest, Norwegian wood and raja of the Rajput reich.

Most of the achievements that are rarer than it are only like a month old. I'm sure some people used SAM, and 3 Mountains might be targeted more than most achievements 'cause it's kinda infamous, but I still don't think it's a common thing? I used to get kind of pissed off at the lengths Paradox went to for making achievements hard to exploit in game (and I still think monthly autosaves make ironman a chore to play) but the achievement culture around this game is actually kind of serious, people care about them a lot more than in most games.

I like the achievements because they make me play games I normally never would. I've played a pope game but I never would have thought to make marches out of the holy orders which is a pretty fun idea and makes me want to try it again etc.

I love it because I have accepted culture OCD Me too, I always have to play a custom nation with -20% threshold and then take the idea that gives another -50 or what ever. If a culture isn't accepted I get really fussy and OCD and either need to conquer more of it or convert it.

Nitrousoxide posted:Someone did it in 1.9 using crazy personal unions. I feel like smaller starts have become even more dangerous due to the new fort mechanics. Usually when everyone had 3-4 provinces you used to be able to ping-pong stack wipe armies at your leisure, because they couldn't run that far. However, now a nation has a real chance to recover if the fort layout is unfavorable. Of course, the same goes for you, to a degree. But if you can get the luck to pull off the first 50 years or so, I'd guess it's probably still viable.

Also, I just checked, and 3 mountains is more common that Venetian Sea...which is fairly old and not really that difficult. It definitely had the SAM treatment.

Really enjoying my current game as Brandenburg/Prussia with the current patch, I don't think I've enjoyed a game as much since my Timurid/Mughal achievement game. France seems like a much more solid ally in this patch though, they don't seem to be as busy or aggressive and it feels like they would give me the shirt off their back if I asked, even with lowish trust and relations.

Wiki says not in North America. I wouldn't take anything in there as gospel, but it suggests that Siberia (both) and South America (Copper only) are your only choices. This section does look to have been done in-depth: if nothing else it's worth reading to figure out where to get your gold. I once had an MP Australian CN that was, for whatever reason, swimming in gold.

wrt najd chat, jihad was pretty easy before common sense; once you got off the ground (conquering arabia), which required the usual amount of luck for a 'small nation surrounded by countries that hate you', it was just about... conquering, conquering, conquering. conquer india, conquer africa (tons of terrible provinces = cheap to core!), eventually pick a fight with otto mann and fight him too. always be at war with someone, if not someones; whenever you finish coring a set of provinces, you should be ready to finish a war to get another set of uncored provinces. until admin efficiency hits, coring times (and truces) are the limiting factor on expansion. absolutely no idea how you'd do it in common sense. everything is so expensive now...
