Another Person posted:Also, I thought Bharat would have given me a cultural union and made Indian all accepted. It did not. Does Hindustan do that? If so, I hosed up by being Hindu. I got a union of Hindusthani cultures when I formed Hindustan as Bengal (which is an Eastern Aryan culture). This was pre-Common Sense though, it may have changed.

Never got an answer for this, but I'm currently playing a game as Mutapa and it's going well. My question is, should I stay as animist? Or should I convert to Sunni once I get the pagan +missionary strength decision? Or should I wait until I westernise and convert to Christianity? Sheep posted:I apparently haven't played a Russia game in ages - what are peoples' favorite opening idea sets? I've heard good things about religious but I'm not really seeing where it'll stay useful the entire game. Echoing people saying Religious. It's a great pick for Russia, and it stayed useful for me for pretty much the entire game. The CB is excellent since you're most likely the only major Orthodox country, and it has great synergy with Russia's NIs.

As Mutapa, I currently have Exploration and Economic ideas. Would I be better off picking Religious or Expansion for my third idea? I want to pick up both, but the lovely 50% idea group restriction means I won't be able to pick the other one until my fifth idea group.

Node posted:How would I go about converting to Catholicism as Japan? Colonize central America, not forming a CN, waiting for a western Catholic CN to border me, and westernize? Then I get an event to convert as I westernize? The event to convert during Westernisation only happens to pagans AFAIK. If you're a Daimyo there's a decision you can take to convert. If you're Japan, your best bet is to do it via rebels. Fortunately you'll get events flipping your provinces to Catholic which'll help.

 All in all, a very successful run as Mutapa. I was able to successfully colonise Brazil, Australia, California, and the East Indies, while I was able to stack so much discipline and morale that my armies could punch way above their weight, with me being able to slaughter Ottoman armies that outnumbered me 3 to 1. Which is good, because my manpower sucked throughout the game even with Quantity; I didn't break 100K manpower until the 1700's. Overall, I had a ton of fun and I'd recommend Mutapa to someone looking to try a game in Africa.

That new Diplo stuff looks great. I can't wait for 1.14 to drop. Less than a century left, but I think I'm on track for Master of India at this rate. My biggest concern is that some of the provinces I need are owned by mega Ming.

Wiz, can you please make it so that the AI doesn't consider ALL its rivals provinces to be of vital interests? This is like the third time now I've had a centuries-long ally break the alliance because we both rivalled the Ottomans and thus had overlapping interests.

Is it still all earth scorching to run down Muscovy's manpower, and hoping Kazan jumps on them? I haven't done it myself, but in my Poland game Novgorod under the AI formed Russia, without intervention on my part. Not only that, but plucky little Theodoro ended up conquering Crimea, a chunk of the northern Caucasus, and a chunk of the southern steppes.

Fintilgin posted:317 hours of EUIV and I still have never had a fun Personal Union or succession war happen to me. I actually had to wage war against France as Poland for the throne of Bohemia. I won.  However, you can't form the Commonwealth if you have more than one union, for some asinine reason. This meant I had to wait like sixty years until Bohemia was integrated until I could form the PLC. On the bright side, once Bohemia was integrated I had an automatic core on Prague without any separatism, so free westernisation ahoy!

I was called into a war against Spain by my ally, France, which they had started. France's armies then proceeded to sit on their arses in Brittany doing absolutely bugger all even while Spanish armies were besieging Paris. And this was a stack of 53K with a two-star general, just sitting there doing nothing. Eventually France gave up and ceded the Baelares to Spain after having done gently caress all for the entire war.  I'm guessing this is a bug of some sort?
