    In this video titled EU4 A to Z - This Start Is IMPOSSIBLE I do a playthrough as Dahomey in Europa Universalis 4 1.33 France. This is the series titled A to Z where I attempt to play every* nation in EU4 in alphabetical order. Of course I had to remove some nations so the challenge doesn't get too boring. In this video I play as the nation of Dahomey, and I attempt to conquer every province in the West Africa region in EU4 and convert them as well! So let's see if I managed to do it! I hope you guys enjoy this series. If you enjoyed this video consider leaving a like and subscribing for more content in the future.

      @@rubenferreira5914 it's unknown but is suspected that the colony just declined because they were left to themselves. The thing is, it seems that they got here accidentally and were stuck there. It was theorized that at the time, they were derailed from their original course by very strong winds caused by the position of the earth around the sun at the time or whatnot. Years passed, earth continued on its way, the winds were slightly weaker and they were stuck.

Then i remembered the eu4 achivement for Dahomey and so i wrote down Dahomey. Needless to say, i can now proudly state that eu4 helped me get a C on that exam :)

      @@babuskavax Don't bother converting provinces or promoting cultures. Hire national unrest advisor, even if you have negative income. Increase autonomy if you can, but if they will rebel anyway, decrease it for more manpower and income. Also, as a Fetishist nation, you also get some national unrest and stability decisions/modifiers.
      Take out all Fetishist nations first, then conquer the Sunni nations in a blitzkrieg fashion. The fetishist lands won't give you that much rebels, it will be the Sunni ones. That's why having 2 vassals will help. Less rebellions for you, and they can help with your rebels. There is no need to be over 100% overextension here, you can take your time and still finish.

Also saw someone suggest conquer france to reverse colonise it so the ming war can be a fun side mission to get some funds and power base to attack europe.
    If not than for delhi you could try doing a conquest and conversion to islam for all the Indian subcontinent. Or maybe if you are willing to put some time into it try and conquer as many spice provinces in india, the middle east and south-east asia to make the best curries for the sultan
