Oirat->Yuan-> Mongol Empire
Wallachia/Moldova Guide
Wallachia to Romania would be interesting help people looking for that achievement
I would like to see a playthrough that explains how to take advantage of the "Invite to Empire" option, some way of explaining and listing the modifiers.
Bohemia
few tips though. If Shah Rukh dies don't click the window. Their loyalty only resets if you click the button. So you can usually get your diplomats back and RM them without having to waste your prestige. I also exploit mil in my provinces and hire mercs to get the missions tarted that gives you claims in India and that's usally my first war so that the AE in India can cool down while I assault Ajam. Also if you leave one rival slot open until December you can rival Ajam and get PP from getting your cores back.
I was coming here to say the same thing
Ooh nice catch especially with the cores for Power Projection. Was thinking of doing a similar run so it's nice to find extra useful information, thanks.
Do you mean ladakh?
You mean Ajam, not Assam, right?
@@soumajitsen1395 oh right, yes of course. lol how did that slip happen?^^ I'll correct it in my post
There is one major thing that you missed in this guide. Do not give out three rivals at the start! If you wait a month or two, you can rival Ajam, and reconquering lands gives you considerably more power projection (because you can take so much). The difference between having 30 power projection versus 85+ at the start of the game is massive.
I tried this 3 times and no matter how long I waited I couldnt get Ajam as a rival.
@@teekoo777 True, I also tested it and it doesn't seem to be the case anymore that you can rival Ajam. Must have been a relatively recent change.
Minor tip when it comes to annexing your first three vassals: They have to be under 50% liberty desire when you click the annex vassal button to start the process, but as long as the annexation is at 100% completion or above, when the month ticks over they'll be annexed, even if they became disloyal during that final month. Basically you can save the prestige from placating and the time spent improving relations if you click the annex vassal button on all of them first, *then* assign the amirs integration policy, then unpause and let the month tick, because it'll still annex them.
Oh hey! A fellow JOYCONBOY!!!
was waiting for mughals for such a long time, thanks for keeping up with content
In my opinion you should go west before you conquer India and finish the Timurids mission tree that gives a lot of great bonuses (Including CCR for 25 years). If you conquer all of the Persian culture group before you go after India to get cheaper advisors and generate more monarch points. Also, if you go west early you can cut of the Ottomans from taking any Mamluks land by vassal feeding Syria, cut them of from Persian culture group and cut them off from the Caucasus (which will increase your trade power in Persia). You will still be able to conquer india before 1600 if you spend the 1400s waring in the west. It might also be a good idea to go north and get a couple of vassals up there (Kazakh, Sibir, Kazan) to cut Russia of from conquering and colonizing. Its just an easier world conquest later on if you take these two steps early. In my latest Mughal run I had all of Persian culture, Syria and Iraq as vassals, all of Arabia and and cut of Russia from colonizing before 1500, if you go for one faith also you wanna go for the horn of africa and west africa asap for extra missionaries. Anyways good video as usual
Also moving back capital to persia is good so we can give trade center provinces to trade companies.
I did a similar thing. I rushed to muscovy, ottoman and mamluks borders to stop their expansion (and PLC, to prevent them from eating weakened Muscovy)
Once again red hawk drops a guide just as a want to try out that nation. Excellent timing as always.
Thanks for yet another great video! Your facecam set-up looks a lot better now! :)
I have a few extra tips however I would like to add to your story. First, get the collecting merchant from Hormuz and let him transfer in Basra towards Persia. This can easily give you +1 extra ducat each month. Also, make sure to set your focus on military from the start. Once you reach tech 4 and Shah Rukh dies, all subjects are still loyal, except for Transoxiana which can be placated once to get them under 50% again. Other then that, great video, keep em coming!
Hey there Hawk, thank you for your wonderful guides!
I have a couple of requests for this patch if you don't mind. You usually do the "classic" countries, but what about a guide with some others who never got guides, and with a different gameplay. Right now i am thinking about the Africa Prussia Songhai, who could be really fun, but also Asian countries with a naval/colonial focus, like Japan (as a Daimyo or the Shogun, why not), or Malaya who is insanely strong when played well.
Thank you sir, have a great day
Yes! Been looking forward to a India guide!
We need a New Timmy to Mughals guide, because in the new patch the Mamluks always guarantee independence to transoxiana and it's too hard to make them loyal
I just ended a France run with the help of your guide, conqeurored England, dismantled HRE and got everything all the way to Moskow, pu'd colonizer Castile, and I was thinking about Mughals. I opened youtube and the first video is this. Love your videos man, keep up the good work.
dude, i just said a couple of hours ago that there have not been any good mughal videos posted recently. its like the gods of paradox have spoken. thank you for this.
I would recommend early ottoman war. Indian mil tech has fire pip on tech 5 which ottomans, anatolian mil tech, opens it few techs later, so mughal ideas + fire pipe make easy early ottoman war.
Another thing to note when playing Mughals is the subject of Deccan. You can pop them out by following the missions and really should. They are one of the best subjects in the game. When I played a world conquest as Mughals I kept Deccan around for the whole game, only annexing them at the end for the achievement.
If you full core all of Deccan's land (cheap because you have lots of CCR) then you can just instant annex them 10 years after releasing them.
Thing is if u release Deccan and don't annex it you lose couple of culture bonuses
hey the expand infastructure helps alot while deving up for instituitions it givs great bonuses and a -25% dev discount evry 15 dev
"Diwan" means "Hub" or "place where you hang out with friends/attend to guests"
It's funny cuz the moment I saw this my head instantly went to imagining A muslim, A hindu and a buddhist chilling in the guestroom
I did a nice Timmy to Mughal run lately and I opened with a no-CB on Byzantium to block the Otto expansion. Then Ajam, Nogai and slammed into Muscovy and Lithuania, linking to my Byzantium vassal through the North. I got so many orthodox provinces that I flipped Orthodox. This allowed me to PU Denmark, Austria and so on… was a fun run.
you could attack arabia and feed it to vassals if you find it worthless. As those tags are weak as well you can just use a small stack and remove them from map fast.
*Quich tip: you can get up to +10 extra relations using the transfer trade power option*
I know but I don't understand why lmfao
You're bullying them to give you their trade power and they like you for it??
@@viniciusyugulis7278 Maybe they see it as an "honor". I like to think that your subjects see you as a legendary nation and view it as an honor to help with your greatness. It's not unlike people to think such things about an empire like the Mughals in this video.
@@devinmes1868 it also forces them to trade with you and become reliant on you
Thanks for the guide Mr. Hawk, blessings upon your house.
Would really love to see a 1.34 Najd guide. I want to try and form Arabia and get Jihad :)
Dunno how 2 play EU4 but this is still entertaining.I literally don’t even have a PC
I was actually wondering how to go about playing as the Timurids in this current patch, and lo and behold you deliver with a guide
I keep failing as the Timurids even after dealing with the vassals, but that one LOL random I'm going try something crazy and play Afghanistan run saw me conquer almost all of India and Persia by 1700. Not super impressive but with the skills I had at the time I was pretty pleased with myself.
Such a steamroller of a nation if you can make it through the first couple years. I just now started up a run, and Shah Rukh died right on Dec 1st. Re-roll time, cause ain't nobody got time for that.
Edit: Second try, he lasted all the way through the first war with Ajam, and all the vassals stayed loyal when he did kick the bucket. Steamroller mode on.
I think a guide on the Mongols to become the Mongolian empire or one as Granada to form al-Andalus could be good (though I know you have had enough pain from trying to play as Granada in the past so there's no rush for that one).
Oh I was waiting for Mughals guide. Time to conquer everything.
I love the Mughals, and this guide is good, but there are some things that could be improved upon. First, I personally abandon Sistan in the beginning because you will never integrate them in time for the juicy 20% ccr in timurid missions before you form Mughals. Second, I don’t usually care AT ALL about the Middle East until my Indian conquests are over (usually all of India by ~1550). From here, there are various different ways to play the Mughals. You can go for WC (did it once would not recommend), or you can go for insanely powerful ridiculously rich tall unified India. For this, the ideas Admin - Eco - Qual work pretty well (and anything tall like trade after it). From here, enjoy being an absolute juggernaut of a nation who has all the necessary power to establish British fast food takeout chains in Fatehpur Sikri (or Delhi).
Can't you just integrate sistan for free?
@@truegamer_007 timurid doesn't have any core on sistan if i remember correctly.
@@muhammadgharibaldy8064 yeah, my bad
Always trying to diplo vassal country in the middle east will help you allot and will make mamluks weaker.
It's not that hard at all. Even if you leave them for last, it's just -120, you can improve up to +200 and there's other modifiers such as gifts, subsidies, influence nation, royal marriage. If you want to annex them as soon as possible though, just annex your 2 strongest vassals first so the modifier is -60. Improve until the other 3 are over 190 THEN start annexing the last three. Even if your opinion drops after Afghan and Khorason or whoever is gone it doesn't stop the integration process
Idk if they changed the ai in the last 4 months but mamluks 9/10 times support independence
I think economy brokes, because changing merchends.
I have nearly have a 1000 hours on this game yet i still watch your guide videos because they are very entertaining and good. Please make more guide videos instead of A to Z, Nation Forming or Releasables.
Hey @The Red Hawk - you have an interesting hint of an accent. Where are you from?
From the Land of Timur, of course.
5:03 if you are going to full annex anyway then you should pick the province that has the highest warscore cost as it reduces the cost of that province. Marketplaces are basically never worth building as you can gain trade power by just expanding and consolidating nodes. 4% interest loans cost 0.33 a month in interest so taking them to build buildings is a bad idea unless they make at least 0.33 a month. You would literally make more money if you just never took the loan.
He clearly used 1% loans to build up. So 0.10 is the benchmark.
I'm very new to the game and am loving your videos! They definitely make the complex system that is EU4 more approachable. I've noticed in several videos that you have split off beginning cavalry units and then disbanded them. Why? Thanks again for the work!
He usually does it as smaller nations, since cav is so expensive and not worth the cost at first.
It can always be a cool idea to form Delhi immediately before the Mughals as well to lower AE in the North of India
Seize the one province from afghanistan you do not have cores over from them. You can then insta-annex them since you have cores on the rest and start the indus raid mission sooner.
My prayers have been answered, next country Austria 1.34?
Yes please.
my current timmy game, Ming conqured all the hordes before I could I had to go in on ming and force them to explode as their mandate kept growing. Ming was gonna be a big threat for me if I had not.
I have been doing a Ming campaign laty and i think it would be interesting to see what you reccomend for it
I fall asleep while listening to your videos
Still better than ASMR
Omg so much things to remove disloyal from your vassals...
Just dev them and voilà. deving subjects is still so OP.
wait, am I the only one hearing that at 1:39? xD have not seen a comment mention it xD voice crack goes through the roof :D
still a very good video though
Another tip, you can exploit manpower in provinces to complete the mission that gives you claims in west India. You want to start that invasion asap, you want to have deccan mission done before absolutism, which requires the complete conquest of india
Do not hire manpower advisor until that first india mission is complete
Also just abandon sistan, you don't have cores on it, and it just adds to your headache
Can you continue playing this nation so you can do WC ? it would be fun to watch.
Maybe on his Red Hawk VODS channel he can do a playthrough?
Playing as the Mughals never get me bored!
a siam guide would be nice
I like to rush towards the borders of mamelouks, ottomans, plc and muscovy in order to prevent any further expansion from them, before going to conquer India.
What are your thoughts on that method for a WC?
Hovering over Tibet, stuttering for a moment and saying “Chinese” is a certified CCP-approved behavior, +999 social credit.
espionage-administrative-offensive-religious-(exploration-aristocratic)(interchangeable)-quantity-anything else .is it a good idea set set up for Mughal because I plan for going a Zoroastrian Mughal empire run
Man, subbed for tier1 to mess around with some of the save games, but the only save games available on the discord are from previous patches..
Any thoughts on the 'establish the dimi' decision? Yay or ney?
Another fun thing is that you can "form" the Minghals. Once you form Mughals, you can go east to China and get one of their Confucian provinces. Spawn Confucian rebels, let them convert your nation, accept demands, and now you can keep the culture acceptance while also assimilating religions. You can even take the mandate of heaven and still keep the culture assimilation.
Although for this I prefer doing a custom nation. Culture Afgan and religion Muslim, having Delhi and some provinces around and you can form Mughals right of the back. Conquer around India to get strong to take on Ming and you're golden. Of course, you don't gain that much time and Mughals are strong already going the Timurid route, but this allows you to have custom ideas and having less territory far away for the Confucian rebelion to convert.
Is the vassal gameplay really worth it? Kazakh for the big reconquests sure, but I feel like the -40% CCR from Mughal ideas + Hindustan assimilation + Indian Sultanate are really too good and you could keep the dip points for pushing through Diplo ideas for better AE management and province war score cost decrease.
If you include the temp CCR from Timurids mission that's, like, -85% CCR on permanent claim provinces
It is only good when you have to complete adm idea group . But yes ccr is better . The only good vassal is deccan
no, it's not. Vassal gameplay is only good when you can't keep up with admin (which is not a problem for Mughals) or when you have juicy reconquest early game to delay the perma-coalition. I guess if you're struggling with gov cap too. Kazakh reconquests are not juicy, it's a lot of provinces sure but they're all garbage lands anyways.
I know to a lot of people this is sub-optimal, but I like to blast west before forming Mughals. You can easily completely tie up the Persia trade node and its resources, unite the Persian culture group for the bonus, and if you're fast, release Syria from QQ, core reconquer from Mamluks, thus neutering the Ottomans for good. There's really no particular reason to rush India, since no one there can possibly slow down your expansion, or pose a major threat in a coalition the way the Ottomans can.
Usually you'll want to ally the Ottomans and save them for last as Timurids
@@viniciusyugulis7278 Let them get to powerful though, they are a pain in the ass to deal with, in my experiences, the Ottomans love to death stack there armies and is almost impossible to fight them without losing 90% of your manpower. Best to cripple them if you can to prevent them from snowballing.
You know...mughals is good, mughals is the best, etc. But, for A to Z for example, I'm humbly advise to take different path and try to restore Yuan. It's a lot of fun actually, and tonnes of PAIN, just the way you like it.
You should check diplomacy in India before making allies, Bengal usually allies Delhi so jaunper is a better ally most of the time
Seize 2 provinces from Sistan and break vassalizaion
I get the feeling that making your King a General, gets more time until die
Can you finish the wc for Mughals and do another video or two up to the point where you are on North America I have tried a time or two and I get mushed by the ottomans every time or one of the Indian majors
Do you have to own the culture groups directly? Or does it count when you and ypur subjects own all the same culture group provinces?
You need to core all
Tried this guide right now, shah rukh died on 14.11. 1444
F
Can you do a strat video for True Heir please?
It would be helpful if you slowed down just a little bit when choosing the estate privileges. I have difficulty following exactly what privileges you're choosing and why you're choosing them.
I used to do the same lel, most of these guide guys just rush over this phase. Now that I know more about the game, I feel that I can tell you, it doesn't matter as much as you may think it does, except in a few cases. Most people have their own way to pick privileges at the start of the game, all you have to do is get familiar with them and get a good feel of how each of them would impact your current game. +1 mana are a given if you are a small, one state/province nation since the autonomy gain won't affect you for example
Can you make a guide for someone in asia, for example Korea?
you shouldnt direct trade from your vassals, you risk debt spiralling them
Small mistake with coring all the provinces at 17:25 then releasing Punjab. To avoid wasting admin points, you should have just cored Doaba and Delhi and then formed the Mughals and then released Punjab so you aren’t coring more than you have to
I still want a Ming guide but otherwise this was useful
Flipping to Hinduism is strong as well as Mughals. You keep Mughal Diwan (lose Indian Sultanate though). The main draw is monuments you can build. There is a monument in Varanasi (i believe) that allows for even more CCR and AE reduction. I played in a previous patch that allowed for Hindu nations to get Buddha as a deity with an exploit. With this you can build pretty much every SEA monument as well, with some truly insane bonuses along with mughal diwan accepting cultures. I was fairly easily able to get a one-faith WC.
Hindu Mughals 💀💀💀
A good reason to push north is to block Russia from expanding and becoming a pain in the ass
Back to EU4 for some Timmies!
Honestly I prefer to take all of Ajam and vassals border provinces and just let them be a 3 provinces minor completely surrounded by you. That way no one can conquer them besides you
You want rel as third idea group so you don't get -999 dip from unjustified demands. You should probably want to flip Shia or Hindu for that though. Shia is an easy OF and Hindu is amazing if you want to cap CCR.
get religious ideas as mughals I converted the entirity of india in 40 years to sunni with 4 missionaries and and 5 propagate religion in trade
@@shrekwithawillsmithface465 yeah but if you are sunni it is painful to expand into other sunnis which is why shia is recomended
good morning
It always comes back to the Mughals
Can you do a Filipino nation like Tondo or Manila?
Mughals are true beast. I remember forming them as Mamluks (cultural shift) by 1510 and conquering Ottopotato by that time. Game was just too booring to continue after this.
wallachia next
Do Mamluks guide
Atm i have the ottoman eating me up and theyre 2 mil tecs in front, i dont know how i would defend against them because they siege down my forts as fast as im sieging provinces
Now I do not mean to be pedantic, but there are several culture groups that will NOT give you any bonuses and can not even be assimilated, since they are in the new world and the game doesnt really expect you to own them yourself.
Can we get an updated granada guide?
You can release a nation from cores if the province is in the tag's culture GROUP. So yes, you *can* release Syria from Rahba.
I pretty sure you can only release them from provinces of their primary culture
@@FunnyNameKEKW no, is thr culture group
I released Aragon from Mallorca once
@@FunnyNameKEKW This was changed a few patches ago
@@Zephilian ok thanks for letting me know, I missed that change
Pacta conventa doesn't work. What to do in such cases? Humanistic ideas are accepted.
Undoubtedly the BEST nation of EU4
Please make a guide on the Mamluks
I think I have perfect strategy to beat ottos as Mamluks in normal difficulty 20 months after the game start
@@viniciusyugulis7278 please tell man I wanna play Egypt as it’s my motherland and I always get Turked upon I just want arabia and half of Africa
The Red Ha k has made a 1.33 Mamluks guide, it should probably still be effective.
Ludi et Historia has also made a Mamluks guide.
Check them out! :)
@@akkiaddizone6889 oh thx
Is this doable without the Dharma DLC?
anyone have the problem that your vassals arent at all as loyal as redhawks vassals in this vid?
Meanwhile my Ajam allied Nogai and Great horde xD
I would love a Jolof or Ethiopian (Jewish) guide.
I've been trying this but I keep running into an Ottoman-shaped wall in the mid-1500s.
i love the "'these guys' integration policy" 😭
ngl, you sound more like a guy who gonna give me CSGO pro tips.
I got so unlucky on my try on this when trying to get iraq, 5 times 71% siege fail, then Uzbek declares on me and traps me in a 20 year war
nice timurids guide
Well I tried but first I got an early heir death with the new heir being 1 1 3 then my ruler died and Ajam got a 2 star general and curvestomped my ass
Me still on 1.34 because I still haven't gotten domination:
Mughals were my first and second WC attempt. In my first attempt I died horribly to rebels whilst fighting a really strong quantity Ottomans back in 1.33. On my second attempt I expanded significantly faster and had a much better trade setup, but eventually got bored cause it was just slaughterfest after slaughterfest, then wait for truces to end and repeat.
So I was wondering if you could do a guide about managing truces and picking the "correct" wars so you don't get coalitioned or truce locked wehn you don't want it.
Why don’t you do a full world conquest with Mughals?
Siri, play "The World Is Mine" by Cracker.
Why no one takes the tax reform for the tier 2?
It reduces the influence and gives you 1 or 2 ducats
i take it sometimes.
but i usually need manpower more.
taxation becomes useless in mid game anyway.
and 10% manpower is always useful
