 I'm glad Paradox made the overpowered Mughals. I finally went for a world conquest and I loved not having to bother about rebels, unlike in my previous attempts where I'd get bored trying to hunt them down popping out god knows where.

Sephyr posted:Gah, so drat jealous. I've never gotten even close to a world conquest run. Any tips on pointers to how this went? General tips: 1. Focus on one religion and region (culture group especially) at a time to manage aggressive expansion. So for example: kill off Muslims in India then Arabia, then Russia/ Eastern religions. I went to Europe last and started with (catholic) Iberia, then basically the only reformed country - France, Anglican UK and back to catholics. I killed the HRE last, because I faced a protestant empire with Brandenburg at the helm with around 12 morale. 2. Timur specific - check Arumba's guide. Most of it is somewhat obvious, though on my first attempt, I wasn't aware you could suck so much vassal income that they'd you could fix the liberty desire by paying back their loans with their own money. 3. Most of the expansion comes later, when you get absolutlism (I grew mine really slowly so it was far from optimal) and imperialism (though religious ideas would work as well) 4. Try to get (any) European province somewhat early and don't fully core too many provinces in India. Move capitol to Europe and get that sweet trade company cash. Edit: Also when I had roughly 1k development I tried to touch Ming (by abusing their tributaries' alliances). They hung around for around 20 years before exploding (without me fighting them). mmkay fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Nov 12, 2018 |

Sage Grimm posted:Just had a coalition of five Sunni nations get dropped after I loaded my Ottoman save and the month rolled over. Also reloading causes the AI to recalculate stuff. So if you just finished a different war you can save, reload and cause the coalition to collapse (or actually declare war on you I guess).

Deceitful Penguin posted:I'm seriously considering this, as Switzerlake means my expansion choices are severely curtailed but my other big ally is hosed You can expand into coastal provinces to get access to new areas and then release them as a vassal when you're ready to get the achievement.

Sephyr posted:But the holy war casus belli is so nice early on! So many heretics on all sides. Humanism gains you tons of money too, since you don't have to deal with rebellions as often. Also, you can get both if you want.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:1961 development in 1578. I wonder if I can take this to a world conquest? My rivals in Ottomans, Ming, and Russia aren't doing all that well. Sure it's possible, try to get the Hindustan culture group bonus before Absolutism, for that extra -10% core creation cost (and I also hope you have Administrative and preferably Humanism) Vivian Darkbloom posted:What's so bad about doing a WC? I guess microing all those late game wars going on at once would be a real pain. I usually went one or two wars at a time, but most of the time it's rebels. Thankfully those are really kept at a minimum with Mughals, especially if you get some -War Exhaustion policy you can be in a forever war without ever experiencing unrest. Edit: I also disliked fully annexing colonisers, especially if you don't have the whole world revealed. I had to go to the main menu, check for any province names that I might have missed and retry a peace deal, since there was no annex everything button and the colonial nations' provinces were polluting the list. mmkay fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Jul 19, 2019 |

Yeah, the trick is to attack one religious+cultural group at a time and drive them to extinction so you never have to worry about coalitions.

Still, the best way to deal with coalitions is to not let them form in the first place.
