Now play Adal 👍

rn the oldest version i can load is 1.27 :C

btw you actually couldn't have formed Mameluks anyway, because ethiopia is considered an end game tag

The Holy Sites Achievement can be easily done by utilizing Armenia as well. The achievement doesnt require direct control, just coptic ownership and faith in order to unlock the bonus. If Armenia pops up of her own even better.

The only difficult part is if you can get Cairo before the Otto bros and generally expand fast so you can compete with them. At least at very hard.

You chose wrong on the Jewish event. Supposed to keep the stab. They don’t count for religious unity so you can still finish the missions.

42:41 quite literally god's favorite princess

You can decrease autonomy in the macrobuilder, much more efficient than a mapmode.

2:50 for this Jewish achievement, you can combine it with Hanukkah Mutapa. Because for Hanukkah Mutapa you should be Jewish.

Forming Rome as Ethiopia is fun (and cursed) af

While you do get more value from the core cost reduction if you take it first, the missionary strength is arguably better to get first (you inevitably need to convert people to Coptic, and the holy sights are only able to give bonuses if the province is Coptic)

Missed out on forming Aksum, man.

Any follow up to do mamluk achievement whit this save ???

Ethiopia is my favorite! Don't need quantity since the cawa infantry (buy 2, combine) instant 1,000 infantry unit.

I'm so Anbennar-pilled my first thought is that Coptic feels similar to Dwarven religion XD

I’ve been telling my friends this. Ethiopia is kinda crazy if you’re good (I’m not)

Ethiopis is great for rushing for an early empire. Thanks for the video.

2:02 GYATT??

Flying through these bro gg

I’d love to see Academical Athens and Its all Greek to me. I’ve been trying it myself and expanding as Athens is no fun.

You actually didn’t need to take the Jewish stab hit. They contribute to religious unity so it was a waste.

These two are rather fun achievements! I got them when the Origins patch game out. Ethiopia is my favorite African nation to play

could have maybe used favors for trust to keep ottoman alliance?

I know I'm a bit late to the party but for female emperors it's always been that the emperor himself if he gets a daughter as an heir gets the decision to allow HRE empresses it costs a bunch of imperial authority and some other stuff like prestige or something but they haven't changed it I'm guessing the emperor just got a daughter in your game at some point. Also I'm super hyped that you're back and looking forward to some achievement hunting.

When I play as a Christian nation, I always convert the province before TCing it. Does the Propagate Religion mechanic ignore if a province is in a TC? Or does a province have to be removed from a TC for it to work?

No pan to see how Europe looking sadge 😢 good vid tho 👍

Never thought I'd get the Saladin's Legacy achievement. Thank you so much. You're really smashing it at the moment.

One tip for future colonizers: if you vassalize the one of spice island nations, give them the other province, you have a vassal that will colonize around them. Really helps

trulh a Glory to the Banner of Islam moment in Kilwa

0:06 Missed opportunity to quote a scene of Saladin from Kingdom of Heaven: "I am not those men" for a video about Saladin's Legacy

You mentioned that mysticism is very important for the campaign, but watching the whole video, I'm not sure why. Also, you said always take the Ulema mission for claims. Is that scripted with some of the privileges you gave out? I don't get that mission most times, but I give out slightly different privileges. I'm also not sure why it's always important to take, since you get claims against QQ via the first mission.

Great guide, but in 4 attempts, I haven't had a single time where Timurids haven't declared on Ajam via the Isfahan event in the first few years. 3 out of 4 it's been before I can secure the Ottoman Alliance (in the first few months of the game). You can still win with just the Ottomans, but the war takes WAY longer and you end up in WAY more debt.

While you were in your first war against QQ, you should have declared on AQ. Because the Ottomans were on your side in the war against QQ they'd not be able to defend AQ. That way you'd not have to wait for the favours to break that alliance like you planning to.

How are you supposed to not die when the europeans arrive if you take the path of migration that the game suggests

Kilwa is really fun nation to play

I was working on this but I ran into a 300k troops ottomans in 1550s who took overall of Arabia

I think that oirat doesn't have Hokkaido, it's just Ainu

When you alliance breaks because your ally wants that one gold mine in the middle of nowhere with -200 reasons to keep the alliance

Such an amazing run!!

How, did you get "I don't like sand" >>

Thanks for the video.

Hopefully you continue this campaign, it was awesome.

Great vid as usual

Nice! You set provinces of interest west of Sofala, they'll get claims on Mutapa for Kilwa :)

Another banger

Just a heads up in the future, you occasionally forgot to shift+click during peace deals to maximize money

Good stuff

When the people WITH the spices, coffee and gold are the ones DOING the colonizing

The Da-himmi 😂 For real though this looks like a fun run 👌
