I really like Mayan gameplay in EU4 but really dislike starting with Huastec (needed for the achievement). If you're not achievement hunting, though, I'd recommend picking a tag like Itza or Chactemal for a chill Mayan save.

-Start as Tarascan -Convert to maya by forcing religion upon yourself in a peace deal. -Conquer everything/reform your faith. -Become emperor of china. -Pick Admin ideas. 25 CCR from Admin + 15 from Tarascan NI + 20 from Mayan +20 from emperor of china = 80% CCR without forming a OP nation, it's very very fun and brutal.

[@gugfitufi4862]

Because you will play Mayan nations again and because you asked: You will be reduced to 15 provinces +1 for each reform. The provinces taken away are based on distance from capital, religion and culture. That's why you always lost the Nahuatl provinces. Another tip: Mayan, Nahuatl, Animist, Inca and Totemists can convert each other. I can recommend to convert the allies of the nations so they convert provinces for you until you are there to snack their land!

[@davidwilliams7552]

Yes, good advice.

[@ItsGroundhogDay]

Guess I need to start over knowing the rules. At 44 provinces, I lost 70% of my development and a vassal and created a bunch of 10+ province nations who mostly hate me.

[@efulmer8675]

It used to be that you would reach 20, reform, and then drop to 10 (you keep 2 more for each additional reform) provinces but they changed that not too long ago to 15 provinces keeping 1 more for each reform so its way less painful than it used to be.

[@henryglennon3864]

For what it's worth, whenever I have to take Religious Ideas, I always take Quantity. The bonus gives you 10% morale, which is less than the 15% from Defensive; but you also get the numbers and manpower recovery. Also, Quantity/Religious/Trade gives some big bonuses to production and missionary strength.

i unironically love playing in mexico at the start eu4 has an issue where if you play in europe, you end up beating everyone up and no one can really challenge you anymore. if you start in the americas, early game changes a whole lot, and suddenly you're playing an uphill game that can be a blast

[@candy-ass4915]

It's somewhat an issue in Europe (unless you play a strong diplomatic/tall playstyle, i.e. HRE or Netherlands without blobbing) but it's much more of an issue in Asia imo. SUPER easy to blob and become insanely strong, and then the only issue you really have is bordering the Ottomans eventually.

[@patnewbie2177]

@@candy-ass4915 Or the Mamluks. Or the Timurids.

[@matheusGMN]

you got lucky, I remember playing with maya faith in the past, back then you would lose a lot more provinces when reforming, if I remember correctly, the first time you would be reduced to all your original core provinces, the second to 5, the third to 10, the fourth to 15, and the last reform you would keep the 20 provinces, at least that's how I remember, looking at the wiki it says now you only lose 5 provinces and after each reform you get to keep 15+n reforms passed

[@matheusGMN]

it was pain, but I liked it, because it meant you had more conquest options more quickly

[@alessiodaniotti264]

the sequence any time the reforms were passed was: country left with 10+2n provinces, with n= refoms already passed. So it was 10 the first time, and then 12, 14, 16 and then keep all. It's not as hard as you've said, but was enough to create some problem after the first 1 or 2 reform. Now, with 15 provinces left after the first reform (and only losing 5 if one conquer always exactly 20) is indeed quite easier! The situation after the first reform now is less punishing than it was some patches ago after 3 reforms!

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

In case you don't know, the provinces lost upon passing a Mayan reform are determined by religion, culture and distance to the capital. So in your first reform it gave away those provinces because they were non-Mayan, of a different culture, and the ones furthest away from the capital.

[@LegateLynx]

I don’t know if the mechanics have changed, but for any El Dorado nation you could try conquering and releasing it. The released country gets all the reforms which is really effective for the Mayans. Inti is pretty good and Nahuatl is more combat oriented. You also get full production from gold mines early. For a few tags that are monarchies, you can start with the tribal government this way and become a horde. It’s easier to do in the Andes region, as fewer tags control the land and alliances are less interconnected. Ally the north, attack the south. Then turn on the north once you have the tech advantage from feudalism and gold mines. You can accomplish this as a North American tribe as well. You’d have to attack huastec, then get map knowledge of Otomi by defending them once you vassalize them. Convert to Nahuatl by treaty to remove tribe mechanics then later do the same for mayan. It stacks well with southeastern ideas and I prefer it to tribe mechanics.

Inti is completely clear to me: gain authority to pass reforms. Nahuatl is also fully understandable - subjugate states and pass reforms which makes the vassals break free. Simple. Maya, though? I dont know what i lose, and while losing stuff as a result of passing reforms seems to be the norm in central america, losing core provinces is really painful, since its your admin you lose when those provinces break free. Do you, at least, keep the cores when your reform? Or do you have to start over?

Im a new player and currently working on trying to form Rome. Thing is, coalitions are absolutely insane. How do I get past them??

[@daniilvinogradnik5000]

Coalitions can be dodged by shifting your expansion paths. Take a look at the cultural and religious mapmodes - for example, when you take provinces from a Catholic country of German culture group, all German and Catholic countries will be likely to join a coalition against you. They get aggressive expansion opinion on you which reduces over time. So try not to focus on conquering one culture/religion too much. Attack Catholics, then ortodoxes, then Muslims and so on. Another feature - if you get too many aggressive expansion, or get a coalition against you - try to improve relations with its' members (you can start improving them beforehand) until it is dissoluted Also pay attention to aggressive expansion reduction bonuses (espionage ideas, for example). They can be extremely important when playing in European region. In Asia coalitions can be mostly chilled, just blob and have fun

Idk if you've played in the new world before, but central America is possibly one of, if not the worst places to play. It's genuinely aids to do the basic things in the game, the tech is massively expensive, reforming your religion so it's not objectively worse than fucking *Coptic* and expansion difficulties are on par with playing in the HRE; all on a timer that's rapidly ticking to 0 when the colonisers show up and rock your shit. Sometimes redhawk does just suck, sure; but in this example? He's absolutely in the right for saying that the mechanics are awful
