Anbennar's Most Challenging Race Is... Tigers?

[@francesco8000]

The funniest thing about the Raj is that the developers initially wanted to give it the HRE mechanics but apparently EU4 does not allow for the existence of 2 HRE at the same time so they had to create an entire different system to recreate it.

[@hirocheeto7795]

Anbennar is going to be able to accomplish such great things in EU5, assuming they decide to make a team for it.

[@owentucker6215]

@@hirocheeto7795I think that an eu5 Anbennar team is far-far, away, just because there’s still so much to do in the eu4 mod. Though in all honestly, it’ll largely depend on how easy eu5 is to mod.

[@francesco8000]

@@owentucker6215 Yeah i'm sure they are keeping an eye and some features looks really interesting (like pops and the ability to have more than 1 HRE) but even if the game came out tomorrow i think it would take more than a year before they released anything IF the game was really good to mod. For a while anbennar will continue to live on EU4.

[@genuscorvid]

​@@francesco8000The pop system is extremely helpful to Anbennar thanks to the racial minority mechanics and the voodoo magic EU4 needs to create it in Anbennar

[@humbertoseghetto5218]

And i think it's one of the best things in the mod. Unique systems like these really make the regions feel unique

The Dhenijanraj is like playing Sim City with a 2 year old having control of the ability to cast Meteor Swarm at will

[@Sintoras7]

I actually recommend playing as the Command at least once. With the added challange to complete the final Mission before 1650 for maximum reward. That is harder than I thought it would be

[@olivermorin3303]

Well, he said he'd make a video on at least all the races once. That means hobgoblins too.

[@azpont7275]

Playing Command is ok. Playing AGAINST the Command on VH is the real challenge. They get up to 2-3M manpower by the 1600s.

[@maxpont8989]

​​@@azpont7275 The Command does get insane buffs, but if you survive until the 1600s with the dwarves, the Rajas (either Harimari or Nadimraj) or the Xia while preventing the Command from annexing the 2 others your superior pips with econ+ offensive + quality (at least) usually are enough to start dismantling them little by little, since their trade is abysmally bad while Bhuvauri or the eastern coast become extremely rich by then

the dwarves in the pho mountains are fun, you have one/two provinces entire game and vassal swarm.

[@owentucker6215]

They also do a lot of sneaky magic shenanigans, which is very unique and fun.

to give a comparison as to how much of a money printer the Gulf of Rahen trade node is when I was playing Ovdal Tungr (the copper dwarves in Bulwar with very strong trading/merchant mechanics), about 100 years into the game and 1000 dev later, the value of my main trade node was only *slightly* higher than the Gulf of Rahen node insane

[@jarjab2games]

I think k in the cannon lore of the game, this empire is meant to fail. That's why it's so hard. I almost wonder what letting it break apart and then continuing as the ruler looks like.

[@cathulionetharn5139]

you have a small amount of still loyal vassals, couple very high dev provinces a decision to restore the raj if you reclaim enough of it in a certain amount of time That said: Bhuvauri, Jaddari, Command, aggressive expansion (everyone is same religion, culture group)

[@Poppleop]

I super recommend your elf run be Varamhar. But its quite an elaborate tree, so might be a better stream campaign

[@konplayz]

And do not forget, there is no god but Surael and Jaddari is his prophet.

[@Thooori]

i always play this on VH so i didnt even know the command could implode lmao xD they usually show up with a million men army 150 y into the game

[@Quarbit]

they almost always win the Sir revolt without player intervention, so you're not missing much

[@CantusTropus]

@@Quarbit Sometimes they choose a high difficulty Sir Revolt, though.

[@aridianknight3576]

Verne is pretty fun for humans. Start as a middling power with the potential to become HRE emperor, situated to become absolutely massive by swallowing busilar and ebothril. You’re a colonial powerhouse, I usually like colonizing up into escann and forming castanor. Helping out wyverneheart. Then uniting Anbennar. You’ll be absolutely flush with cash by 1500 if you do it right lol

[@McHobotheBobo]

Dhenijanraj is so cool, hard ass gaming fr. Good show taking out The Command!

[@assasindroid9128]

5:15 Obviously you couldn't with the regency, but it makes your game 10x easier if you declare war on the Command while they're in that war. Winning it removes the strongest power in the region, and helps massively in dealing with the disaster. Even starting your own war, you'll just be in the one with Sir, so you can't separate peace, but just occupy/have Sir occupy their capital and the warband capitals, and the Command splinters

[@assasindroid9128]

Oh should've watched longer lmao

[@sizanogreen9900]

HELL YEAH! ITS OUT! Looking forward to the video, tho I kind of expected the dwarves 2 to come out first I am definitly not complaining. The harimari are among my favorites:)

[@huntre111]

I will say, I hope you install the Eagle Hobgoblin Submod when the wheel finally turns to the Hobgobbo race. They're interesting and do more than just Go Goblin Mode on Haless and mass-conquer. They *still do that*, they're still Hobgobbos, but they've got a lot of fun little quirks that make them feel very different to the Command. If you do decide to go and play The Command for Hobgobbos, their unique mechanics can still make a fun game, but there's only really two points where things are difficult.

[@CantusTropus]

To have fun with the Command it really helps if you treat a normal run the way you would treat a challenge run for other nations (IE, "finish the mission tree by 1650", or "only use X types of troop", or "roleplay according to your leader's traits".

[@josephstalin7975]

When the next update comes out, you should play one of the Southern Alentair(?) Ruinborn has all three regions are getting a lot of content for you to play with and it would be the most ideal to show off the Ruinborns, which like Humans or Dwarves, there is so many of them that each playstyle is different

Regarding 'needing to replace the minister', you could have subsidised the enemies of your rival in the war he is having and gained PP that way.

[@svenbrede6151]

The expectations some of the Anbennar devs have of their players are a little strange. I was told that if I started playing anywhere with the sun elves by 1600, I was pretty much supposed to have taken all of the Raj already

[@shiftystheory7862]

It's pretty crazy luck honestly that none of the major powers you have to deal with Jadd, Command, Xia and Bianfang popped off so you didn't have to deal with a lot of outside issues.

[@officechairpotato]

The raj is, on paper extremely powerful as long as you don't suffer the collapse events, which keeps others at bay for a while and gives some breathing room, because they calculate you as not worth the hassle. But in reality you're a paper tiger (hah).

This will break the command and trigger the northern rebellion while you are undergoing the reforms. Take the female ruler because she allows for a diplomatic integration of the northern ruin kingdoms. Pray to get a dip rep trait on your ruler for the reforms. Take influence & focus dip to rush through it. Use great power influence on your Senaptis, try to maintain 80% cohesion. Don’t give your claws more than five provinces (or any trade centers or porcelain cities if you want to keep them late game) By doing this, you’ll get through the hardest part of the Harimraj and get to the fun part: trying to acquire the Stewardship of the Sorrow
