I need a guide for Ottawa, please! I can't get my economy or military collected in time for when England arrives!

[@misticue3403]

Yes Finally... i love Playing in India. My Mewar run was one of the most intense and fun camapings i ever had!

[@akapbhan]

For 1512 isn't the expansion a bit too less. Usually you should have a port in south of Persia and Yemen by this time. Still a bit too early for Africa to maximize trade.

[@deborahsabourin]

Aq Qoyunlu into Seljuk Empire

[@KingOfTheHollows]

Maybe Oirat or Great Horde

[@Krisbu]

When it comes to Vij in A to Z, you should conquer England and somehow make the East India Company

[@AGrumpyPanda]

Geographically speaking it'd be the West India Company.

[@taoflo8015]

West English Company

[@maybemiketh]

@@taoflo8015 just English Company, there are no east and west Englands like there are for the Indies.

I definitely would like to see a 1.36 ming guide to understand the mandate mechanics.

[@derekskelton4187]

His old Ming video should still work for most of it

[@TheRedHawk]

You can check out the A to Z video on Ming and use it as a guide

Thanks for the response. Will check. Orrayt orrayt here we go!

If you vassalise Mysore instead of annexing them, their monument doesn't loose one level, saving you 1000 ducates to reupgrad it.

[@rameshv9671]

You can complete tamil trade guilds mission straight away. At the start, reduce autonomy in 2 tamil provinces (Tondainadu and Kanchi) which has above 50 autonomy. Then for 1 month use northern army to suppress rebels (reduces unrest to -ve). Stab up on 1st Dec. Now you can click that mission for claim on Mysore. Ofcourse vassalize Mysore for preserving their monument. after mysore war you get claims on rest of those minor nations. no need to build spy network on any of them. My preference is 1st war Bahamanis on 11 Dec 1444 with Malwa's help. Then on 11 Jan 1445 war with Mysore if they dont have any ally (spare free company and 3-4k troops for Mysore war, rest go to Bahamanis war). or you can war with Mysore after Bahmanis war.

[@RamGutta]

actually you can complete the tamil trade guild mission almost immediatly by manually lowering autonomy in 2 provinces and then stabing up because then it gives you a decision to decrease unrest by -2 so you can complete it really fast

[@anonguy6523]

I think a better start is to DoW on Bahmanis Dec11 for your cores. The war is fairly easy - they usually ally someone small, or even just restart till they’re ally-less or have a small ally. Give out the +1 mana to all estate and no other privilege, and get crown land back after that first war. During that war you can get your claims on the southern nations. They usually ally amongst themselves so those wars are easy

[@rameshv9671]

You can always ally Malwa at the start and they will always join with promise of land (dont give them any). If you wait and defend you border with your army, Bahamanis army will go siege malwa. Then you can start sieging bahamanis land yourself. This way, you dont even have to fight them (their army is slightly stronger at the start). I usually take back cores, take pune (to release ahmednagar as vassal who has lots of cores) and cancel their subject Telingana (you can diplo vassalize them peacefully in 1-2 yrs) and Humiliate for age objective and PP. Btw, dont siege warangal or Khammet forts, they drain lot of manpower due to low supply and if you keep only minimum troops, Bahamanis will attack you there. Once they left their siege of Malwa and came all the way down to attack me on that fort.

theres a mission to dev up and get todnaidu up to trade level 3. i usually use that province to spawn my first institution to get two birds with one stone.

No cb the weakest nation in Sumatra early game for another expansion route, theres a lot of good Hindu monuments in that region and malacca trade mode is obviously top tier

[@IHMnotuseless2204]

bahmanis can form hindustan in 1500 in chill-ish campaigns. It's simply in a better position to grow uncontrollably.

[@candy-ass4915]

I mean sure. The Ottomans are also better at Byzantium things than Byzantium. Sometimes you just want to play a different, weaker starting nation, you know? (Still yes I have to say I love Bahmanis)

[@IHMnotuseless2204]

@@candy-ass4915 I've honestly played more vijayanagar than bahmanis - I just think Bahmanis is more underrated all in all. (though honestly indian nations in general are underrated.)

[@candy-ass4915]

@@IHMnotuseless2204 No I absolutely agree. Bahmanis, being the only Shia nation there makes it quite unique, amazing flag, pleasant map colour, still a muslim nation so you get the dhimmi. They're great.

[@lys_mara]

@@derekskelton4187 Unless it was changed in the last few patches, the Iberian Wedding event chain will only fire with Castille as the senior partner unless you play as Aragon. They could have maybe broken free from a strong Castille and regularly-PUed them though.

[@anonguy6523]

@@lys_marathat’s right. Aragon can never be lead of the PU of AI controlled. In most of my campaigns recently - they either conquer a weak Castile, or even break away at times.

Colonial strategy is still best for VN because AE is a lot to expand quickly - especially since you are Hindu and most of the enemies are Muslims. Plus you will get a settler increase bonus from Cotton

Hindu nations are fun because sometimes I'll convert over to an almost American-style republic, elected rulers every few years means plenty of options to reconsider exactly what deity buff you can make the most use of at the time.

can you please make an army composition guide? whart are good stats? are cav even recommended? I hear mixed opinions about that. some day delete cav from the start and only go for inf and later arty once its available. so say use inf + cav until tech 11 or so and then get rid of them. some say always keep cav and actually increase them over time. Having like 12 in one stack. I'm so confused about army comps

If RedHawk responds to this comment, he has to make a guide for whichever country he mentions!

[@shanearmstrong9861]

Get yourself into the Federation with the Iroquois, focus on Manpower, take Quantity as your first group, and find an ally of the leader of the Federation you can draw them into a war with (Also improve with whoever neighbors the leader) Settle your tribe, draw the leader into a war and annex them. You should become the new leader as a result. Invite as many people to the Federation as you can, and settle as many trade nodes as you can. Taking land from Miq'Mak and Maliseet to get the Saint John and Halifax trade ports is important. Same with Stadacona for the Quebec/Montreal trade Node and Estuary. I recommend settling your capital in one of these trade nodes as well, Quebec/Montreal is a good one. Settle as much as you can in the coast, and also make sure you settle a province in the Gaspé/North East Quebec along the St Lawrence that you can post a fort in to hold back armies while you fight off invasions. By the time you've done all this, one of the nations should have shown up which you will probably border. Make sure you incorporate your federation by completing all the goals, and once you've done that, Use the Tier 4 gov reform to flip into a Kingdom off of a neighboring settler province and gain all of their discoveries. This is very important as it saves you the money and the dev points, which you can then use to pump your tech up. Be warned that you will still be at a disadvantage and won't be able to scrap with the Europeans just yet, but you should have enough dev/land to field a sizeable army. You need to wait until they settle into colonies and then attack the colonies. Be sure to build up a Navy after you flip as well and never cross into Newfoundland if you can help it, that is always a mistake, unless you're doing it with a 1k stack. Once the Europeans settle their colonies, declare on the colony and take the land back, though try to leave one or two minor European colonies around to leech innovation spread off of. Once that's done, spread down the Coast-line towards Florida into Louisiana, Texas and Mexico, because you're going to want to fight Spain for the gold mines in Mexico, both to keep Spain at bay, and to bolster your own economy. Ideas wise I do recommend Quant/Humanist(or Religious)/Qual/Admin/Offensive/Trade Or Quant/Admin/Qual/Espionage/Offensive/Trade/Expansion First set is for staying Totemist, second is for Converting to Christianity. Arguably flipping is easier as it lets you get European allies, but I like Underdogging it. That said, going Underdog does make expanding into South America much harder and you may have to take some long defensive wars against Spain/Portugal to grind them down.
