Beikdugang and Feiten are both fun to play, with my preference for Feiten since it's a fair bit more compact than the former. That said, you will need Exploration ideas for both (Feiten can delay the pick until the third slot.)

Seconding this. The screenshot in question looks worse than the default font for me. Not just the font either, everything looks fuzzy. Again, are you sure you're running in your monitor's native resolution?

Yeah I'm colourblind with thick glasses and I have no problem reading the vanilla font on phone or laptop screens, let alone an actual monitor. It's not good but if it's illegible please see an optometrist.

Having not gotten to play the new Anbennar update yet, all these Anbennar posts are reminding me how charmingly unreadable Anbennar country names are. Ah yes, Grxmyrlrjjk.

As someone who's helping out with the Vyzemby halflings who have a language based on Malagasy and occasionally peeking over at the lizardmen nations who have a language based on not having lips, Sarhal is going to be peak ??? in terms of pronunciation.

It's called Vijayanagar in EU and Vijayanagara irl iirc, so you win either way. I'm annoyed by their northern blue rival. Why is it called Bahmanis so everyone in streams calls it like that's the full name instead of like "Bahmanids" or "Bahmani Sultanate" or something where there's nobody calling it "Bahman-iss" like that's a proper name.

The i is an adjective thing and the s is a pluralization motherfuckers, like pakistanis. The place was not called Bahmaniss. That one annoys me so much and it's insane to describe it in text but :colbert:

Has anyone got the "Autumnal Isle" mission for Beikdugang to work legit? You need to get two specific Eordan nations allied to you and they won't, thanks to border distance. Even if you have colonies on the Broken Sea, the two nations you need are on the other side of Eordand so it's kind of a wash. I'm thinking about cheating it

Have now tried every font mod in the workshop I guess, shame that the mod just breaks or doesn't load in the new fonts at all
makes Anbennar basically unplayable cause the EU4 default font is absolute rear end and I do not know why it's not changed in a mod that changes basically everything else for the better

In my game Einnsag got reduced to just the island so the mission changed to ally them. Maybe just try conquering them if that doesn't happen in yours?

Speaking of, I was having a great time as Beikdugang until The Command decided to swing east and now I'm trying to hold them off my allies. I tried forming a coalition earlier, but no one wanted to join (fucken thanks Bhuvauri!) so RIP this run I guess

With Xia and one ally in south Haless, you can usually hold them off.

If you waited for them to eat the Xia, you're probably hosed.

Bhuvari is always the spanner in the works when it comes to fighting the Command because it usually eats up everyone who would coalition them and then not fight them. Also they'll rival you so you can't form a united front with them either.

I haven't seen the Raj survive at all anymore. The disaster is just too hard for the AI lmao. I mean it's not easy for the player either. They need to add a 1/4 chance for the AI to get some cohesion buffs or something

Anyways I am gearing up to fight the command in my game as odval kanzad or whatever. I think I'll wait until Mil tech 16 so my cannons are good and then declare. They're about 3x my development right now.

In my latest game, multiple AIs decided to go ham in the last 200 years, with no intervention from me (I focused mostly Africa and China at the very end to get Jihad):



Revolutionary Spain, France, Venice and Ottomans (France was much bigger before Venice started a hugbox and wrecked it)
Long Commonwealth (used to be long Lithuania that broke off Poland, then fell under PU again)
Huge Bengal
Novgorod kicking Muscovy's rear end right from the start
Shun used to be long Shun before Transoxiana and Bengal decided to eat it (that one I did get involved). Theirs was a sad story - they formed, grabbed MOH, suffered, managed to stabilize and go positive on Mandate, got long... then I chartered a province as the Najd Horde, and they died.

Not pictured: Mostly native North America.

Bengal is both warning and guaranteeing me.

Can I go back to Tribal Federation once I go horde? Thinking I could still kill Ottos and form Arabia for Sworn Fealty in the 40 years or so left. Otherwise it's Dawasir time for my next game.

Max root out corruption.
Always fight the rebels to lower corruption.

Try to lower everyone's liberty desire to 39% or lower.

Do the internal ministries and then philosophy in that order.

Don't let cohesion fall below 30% or you'll trigger the dissolution disaster which means Raj is over.

Tags only rivaling peer powers means that I keep seeing a massive and unrivalled Command while all of the states that could conceivably stand up to them are all rivaled with each other, making a large coalition impossible.

The real lesson here is never turn on great conquerors on in Haless.

GC help keep the game interesting and can help minors form some of the more unusual countries you will rarely see otherwise. Mythical Conquerors only being able to target top 10 countries is kind of lame though as command will usually get it at some point early and just curbstomp everyone. Hopefully their MT + Disaster fixes it.
