Last campaign I did was Tibet. Your expansion options get a bit weird because Pretty Borders are kind of impossible unless you just go ham into India.

Wait that dude's house is Mlechchha, really? Isn't that just the generic Sanskrit/Prakrit for barbarian?

Kangxi posted:I have enough problems working with smudged photocopies, Chinese handwriting, and faded carbon paper. quote:OK here goes. The copper plate inscription Salman includes in his book goes: "Oh powerful and high spirited [...] Oh Parthiva (son of Prithivi), your future descendants will, for this reason be called Mlechchas." And no explanation is given. It's the middle of three plates described as the "Copper Plates of Harjaravarman" and the first and third plates are missing. The text in the remaining plate is also corrupt and has major gaps in the beginning.

So for role-play clearly we're looking at Gyalyum going for War-Mongering, or MAYBE Unyielding. Temporal head is obvious, then Harmonious and Unrelenting (MAYBE bloodthirsty gods what with all the sacrificing)?

Daring kind of sucks, mostly because prepared invasions are basically useless at our size, but also because if we go for temporal we could just use great holy wars. it would be a fun flavor thing but sort of a waste of mechanicswise.

Temporal, Harmonious, Bloodthirsty Gods, War Mongering It is by her Majesty's Strength of Sword that we have arisen once more, and it is only by absolute faith in her and in that sword that we may survive. Kowtowing to monks is the way of the Buddhists and the Westerners, and where are they now? No, we must have one leader, and that leader must keep their sword sharp.

Africa was all vassals, iirc (I did conquer China though). Britannia was the AI reforming Norse early on, the Fylkir quickly lost their land, and then the rest of that just HAPPENED. Love you paradox Rody One Half fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Jun 11, 2019 |

Conquering China is fyi probably the hardest thing in the game to do, it requires hella hit and run tactics, and you have to be able to fight them somewhere outside of Tibet or else you'll never have the supply limits you need.

I mean who's to say future Tibetan academia will have an opposition to being gay. Reformed Bon likely embeds no cultural opposition to it, considering its founding figures.

Satanists and lodges are fun to do but only really once apiece. The other societies are way less crazy and can just be treated as another tool in the toolbox.

I don't know if we'll get our chance to play with them though. The Aztecs tend to win big then fragment and melt away over time.

It's worth pointing out, for those who want us to break up, that failing to conquer China would destroy our imperial level title. So Kangxi could go for the gold (they'd have to legit give it their all though), and if they fail there's your fall from grace/indeterminately long era of brutal revanchism and claimant wars.
