The Maya existed from like 1.5k BC to present times. There was even a breakaway neo-Maya nation in the 1800s that ended up getting put down in the early 20th century (And was almost annexed by the US after a successful vote in the US House but a failed vote in the US Senate). One of the Maya's biggest/most populous city states was pre-Classic Maya anyhow (1k BC to 200 BC) and had one of the largest city populations in the world and its city radius was slightly larger than modern day Los Angeles (feel free to look that up). Its just that the classical Maya is what is most famous +Andrew Damitio

[@MuckTangle]

Fascinating video, well presented - subbed! :)

[@IslandHermit]

You make it seem so easy. Not including all the restarts to get a good initial leader, it's taken me 8 attempts to make this strategy "work". Admittedly a couple of those attempts failed due to stupidity on my part (e.g. triggering a coalition after just 30 years), but my main problem was that as soon as I changed religion to Nahuatl and lost most of the extra troops that the native "Fortified House" building gave me, I'd get jumped by the Aztecs with their 3 shock general (and they always had a general with at least 3 shock), backed by their five vassals (and they always had five). My 2 Mil Tech advantage certainly helped, but the swarms were still too much for me. On my current attempt I got lucky because I was able to rival Zapotec, which allowed me to ally Xiu. Previously the only significant alliance I'd been able to get was with Colima who then immediately dragged me into a war with Aztec and Tlapanec (idiots!). The alliance with Xiu scared the others away long enough for me to run through the religious reforms, after which I was able to do pretty much as I pleased. Now my problem is that the Europeans keep attacking. I keep beating them, but they just keep coming back. I've annexed Portugal's Mexican colony twice, and stripped the Thirteen Colonies of the entire Florida peninsula, all in wars that *they* started. But still they keep coming. England's mission for the past 50 years has been to conquer Ireland. During that time they haven't attacked Ireland once, but they've come for me three times. Even though I've rivaled England I've been unable to get any of its enemies to ally me because they all have colonies in the New World and they all want MY land. Even Scotland, whose only colony is landlocked in Colombia, 800km from my nearest border, hates me because they want my land. Go figure. At the moment I'm facing down the combined invasion forces of France, Spain, Portugal and their seven colonies. This isn't a coalition, just an alliance of like-minded, gold-crazed AIs. Despite having parity in mil tech and a 15% advantage in morale I don't fancy the chances of my 50K troops against their 300K. Perhaps if I hire a dozen mercenaries that will turn it all around...

[@ualaelinlive]

Well I know this comment is old, but as soon as you reform to steal the European tech which hopefully happens soon after 1500, you need to take exploration ideas and colonize towards Australia. You can start conquering the spice islands area and up through India. Africa is pretty close also, so you'll have plenty of targets. You should be able to get powerful enough by 1560ish that the Europeans won't be constantly attacking you, and sieging down Australia will be hard for them to do

[@Owlr4ider]

Yeah the "wants your provinces" modifier is pretty dumb, especially when it comes to the New World. Suddenly every nation in western Europe wants all provinces in the New World so you can't really get alliances in Europe. Still it's not as problematic as you make it seem as the AI is horrible at naval invasions so rather than fighting 50k vs 300k you'll be fighting 50k vs ~20k+~20k+~20k+...n stacks which you can easily annihilate 1 after the other. Moreover you don't even need that much war score to peace the Europeans out for their colonies as they don't value them much at all, like 2-4% war score per colony so it really doesn't take much. Heck as Japan I created Japanese Mexico than kept declaring wars on Spanish Mexico, fully carpet sieging them each time than waiting for Castile and their allies to send puny stacks over to Mexico, only to die by my hand than quickly peace out. Even easier to do as a country based in the New World as you don't need to ferry your own troops across the ocean and deal with the still dumb AI of your colonial allies' armies.

[@gregmccauley1687]

Correct and they will stop attacking you if you get strong allies.. you need to colonize near stuff like India and get whoever is the strongest guy there as an ally, or Ming or the Ottomans if you are lucky. Conquer territory near them that they don't desire to eliminate distance between borders modifier.

Yup. Found that one out the hard way in a recent Cherokee game. I had over 3000 MP saved in each category, and when I took my first tech after reforming it dropped to 999. Fortunately my game mysteriously crashed and when I reloaded the save I spent my points appropriately (tech, mercantalism, dev, ideas) before reforming.

[@MatthewSmith-sz1yq]

I have really bad luck in this game, like every time I try to do something, something bad happens. For instance, I was playing as Korea, patiently waiting for the mingplosion. I patiently waited for the entire game until the timurids(yes they somehow lived and turned out they ate EVERYTHING, including the ottomans) came along and obliterated the ming and me without even breaking a sweat. Another time, I was playing as a mesoamerican tribe. But guess who comes knocking on the side that I didn't fill with castles and vassals? THE MING. (You will begin to notice a pattern here). Another time, I was playing in Europe, hoping that maybe the institutions will help me, when, you probably guessed it, the renaissance started in... THE MING. Even when the mingplosion happens, stupid stuff like their rebels invading me or something can happen. Sure, I have had some decent games, but man, the ming are my kryptonite. Spread the word: the Ming are correct, their kingdom and its ruler are literally controlled and blessed by god.

[@Matthy63]

Matthew Smith Last week I decided to try a Majapahit into Malaya game, took exploration ideas asap and started walling off the Indian ocean so that the Europeans wouldn't come and break my balls. Even made sure to explore around the Cape quite soon so I wouldn't be taken by surprise. Then around 1570, who do I see show up on the island chain off Sumatra but... the Ottomans. Who had taken Exploration. And somehow had col range all the way from Suez to Sumatra.

[@andredie45]

Yeah no, the renaissance didn't start in Ming, it can ONLY spawn in Italy in a 20 dev province or someone's capital, excluding Malta. And last time I checked Ming didn't own a 20 dev province in Italy in 1450.

[@cheer90099]

There is a chance of it spawning in an insanely developed province outside of Italy, too, if it is way more advanced than the Italian cities. So it looks like the Ming got lucky and did what is a viable player strat by complete accident. They must have developed their capital quite a lot.

[@andredie45]

can_start = { is_year = 1450 region = italy_region is_state = yes NOT = { province_id = 126 } is_island = no OR = { development = 20 is_capital = yes normal_or_historical_nations = no } } If you can't read code, it says it can spawn in a province with the following criteria; Is in the region Italy; Is in a state of the owner; The province can not be Malta or an island; It has to have either 20 development or be a capital, unless normal or historical nations is turned off, then it can spawn anywhere in a state in Italy that isn't Malta. And the year has to be 1450 of course.

[@Th3D3vilishBoy]

The OR condition is stating that this can happen outside of Italy in any other nation, just so long as it is a capital with at least 20 development. There is a reason it needs normal or historical nations turned off for this to happen.

This strategy is still possible, it's just harder to do and not as powerful as before. I made it work with Lipan on v1.29. Biggest difference i found is that natives are harder to beat due to federations. The start is also harder because to reach cholula, you need to take more provinces and fight more nations. I had three wars before i could finally take Cholula.

[@julianfernandezfiscella9037]

You wasted around 5k monarch points when you reformed. You can't just hoard on so many points.

[@aciarduce]

Did you not see him use several thousand points to tech up multiple times, and get half of 2 idea groups as well? After your points cap is lowered, you have until the next month until your points are taken down to the cap. You can see his points greyed out at the top showing that he is over and will be reduced.

[@andyguirre]

No, once you embrace institutions of the Europeans, if you spend even 1 monarch point you are brought to your new cap, which is usually 999 (depending if there is another institution making a penalty that isnt embraced or not), so before embracing them make sure you develop/mercantilism up until you have around ~1400 monarch point of each type or so, so teching up will bring you to 999 and not be a waste..

[@Geraduss]

They changed that with the new system, now you have what you had went you reformed even if that is in the thousands, but you only have until the end of the month, or it all gets deleted down to the cap.

[@julianfernandezfiscella9037]

No, it does not get lowered at the end of the month, it gets lowered when you spend points. As Andy Guirre said, if you have 3k and you spend any number of points, you get lowered to your cap immediatly. You can see it in the video quite clearly, reduce the speed if you can't catch it.

[@andyguirre]

Geraduss is right actually, after reading his comment I loaded my Aztec save right before reform, and yeah you keep your points until the end of the month even if you spend some of it it doesnt bring you to cap, however it only works on Primitives that reform, it doesnt work on others that just embrace an institution. But as he said that is very new mechanic it seems, and on the video it clearly shows that when he picks a tech it moves him to point cap..

[@f_e_wgaming366]

Hi! Nice strat, but either I am missing something or this is based on a combination of very lucky events. 1) 4/6/5 Ruler - who gets that in a regular game? I've done several rounds and settled on things like 1/4/4 because anything else seems highly unlikely. My problem with this: If you dont get at least 4 on military score, you are going to have a hard time catching up with the mesoamericans. 2) Almost the same as 1) - you need a decent general. Best hope for a decent general is a king with high warscore. Otherwise you'll just have hard time trying to achieve that 3) Depending on the migrational movements of the OPMs you won't have the chance to have too many wars, otherwise you'll trigger a coalition (if you choose to ignore the truces) 4) You are on a time limit, because if you make by 1490 it's a bit to late because your opportunity costs for pursuing this goatchase were already to high. 5) You might potentially be lucky enough to get the right CBs in meso america right away, or you just might not. in which case you'll have to wait and wait again (see 4). Maybe you have an answer to these problems, because as of right now I dont see how this supposed to work outside of an cozy SP environment with the possibilty to save frequently or yet alone in a competetive MP enviornment.

[@Silverhand404]

Doom is an internal mechanic that nahuatl gets. The religion itself requires El Dorado DLC to even exist the way it is in the video (as far as I remember). Otherwise, you wouldn't have the inner mechanics of vassalizing others.

[@bogdandacian2001]

Sebastian Rigoni too many dlcs,too expensive,not enough money 😢

[@Silverhand404]

I know the pain, I have been purchasing things on every sale available... I finally have all the DLC after 2 years of owning the game and catching 80% sales (not playing anything else though)

[@bogdandacian2001]

Sebastian Rigoni that's okay because i own the original game,and 2 DLC's :Songs of Yetude and Women in history😑😑

[@dejlislive5751]

The game might be expensive but it's my favorite game so it's totally worth it.

[@DalsooPlays]

Just FYI it's pronounce "Cad" as in a British Playboy "Doe" as in a female deer. with emphasis on first syllable. Great vid!

[@noway8973]

Funny the tribes he attacks have no allies i get in war with 3 tribes when i try to attack one

[@gregmccauley1687]

They are usually vassalized but disloyal, don't attack the disloyal guys and they won't attack you unless possibly they border you and want your land.

[@thomasjunker5415]

While an interesting tactic, I wouldn't say that playing Caddo in this manner is game-breaking OP... a lot still depends on luck, from what I've seen. I've played several times, and managed to completely reform my religion and conquer all of the Mesoamericans before the Europeans arrived, no problem. But before I could westernize, either the Spanish declared a crusade against me, or the British attacked. Also... depending on the circumstances, I think flower wars against Mesoamericans is actually easier than no-CB attacks against tribes, in my case. When I took Cholula, it left the Tlaxcala and the Totonac as OPMs, ripe for vassalization, without the stab and WE hits. Also, thanks for sharing this video! This was my first attempt to play as a new world country, and I had a blast :)

[@SebHaarfagre]

How many people are still attacking across rivers? ^^

[@SketchyBack]

Alexander the Great did it!

[@SebHaarfagre]

Lol I guess he had great movement stats Edit: Wait.. wasn't that in India, where he suffered that major defeat? xD

[@fede98k54]

Battle of Hispapes river was the closest battle of Alexader but he win that too

[@obsidiandrake2242]

Recently played a campaign as Wichita using this as a baseline and had an absolute blast... Unless you are a really good player however (hint: I am not), I think the forced conversion through Cholula may actually hamper your progress quite a bit. It is definitely faster than causing Nauhatl Zealots to rise up, but it also forces you to switch out of native council government, which in the early game, I think, is honestly superior to any of the tribal governments for this specific strategy: cheap units, coupled with unique buildings that boost forcelimit massively, allow you to field an army big enough to give pause to two or even three of the other nauha states at a time and compete with the north american federations (bane of my existence) and chep stability allows you to recover from all the stab hits from the no CB wars.

This is exactly how it will be like when we eventually start to colonize space and then somewhere along the road encounter an alien race that's even more militaristic and ruthless than ours.

[@HerodotusVon]

I started as Caddo, but I can't migrate the instant the game starts. What should I do

[@mineralfinder6822]

Epicdude 8428 the real question everybody's asking

[@Peachrocks5]

Requires Conquest of Paradise doesn't it?

[@vulturearmy3780]

Diddly Doot the question is why are there so many dlcs?

[@darkability1393]

VultureArmy because companies like money

[@gypsysprite4824]

because Paradox can get away with it being the only real developers for real time grand strategy games like EU4

[@cryohellinc]

So that's how Sunset Invasion in CK2 appears. I see!

[@antigonus1826]

“Europa universalis is one of the Most intricate games ever made” shows America. This is Europa universalis not americano expresso

[@vvkth2500]

Awesome dude. Did you try the Sunset Invasion?

[@Nebo8ful]

Thats looks intersting but my english is to bad and I only understand 30% of the video ;-; +1 sub

[@narval1234567890]

Nebo8 keep watching english videos and maybe read a few books in english and you'll be speaking fluent in english in no time ^^

[@narval1234567890]

Nebo8 good luck to you too ^^

[@Nebo8ful]

narval1234567890 You see my answer ? I deleted because I was thinking you're the guys of the channel and for some reason I didn't rewrite it ^^' So thank for your advice :p

lutin grognon C'est ce que j'essaye de faire quand je commence une nouvelle série et parfois j'arrive à comprendre sans les sous titre et je commence a comprendre pas mal de youtubeur anglophone mais le mec ici je dois avouer j'ai du mal, Il a un accent assez bizarre ^^ Comment tu as deviné que j'était francophone ? xD

[@Neverthemasa]

I tried this and every single native allied and/or formed a federation but then the big kicker came when I found that somehow in the 20 years since the game started almost everyone had become a vassal of zapotec including totonac.

[@felixchar473]

Why Caddo and not any other opm tribe ie Waco?

[@shanedussault740]

(also works with the others)

[@durnel2001]

Felix Char Prob cause they're the closest to the Mesoamericans

[@gregmccauley1687]

I think Carib is technically superior in terms of ideas, if you want to go the Mayan route. Mayan reforms give core cost reduction, which is pretty cool.

[@sonofquebec]

Well after trying this strategy out I can say there is a lot of things you didn't mentionned in your video that are important. First of all you need the conquest of paradise DLC to be able to migrate AND the El dorado DLC to have the doom and reform mechanic for the religion, that would have been great to mention ! Second, when you arrive in central america most of the land with be in terra incognita and you will not be able to declare war on anyone, unless you can see someone by luck, but even so, though you have high morale most of the nations you will fight will have 7k unit and be allied with other nation, yours will be alone and will have 6k from the beginning and will be able to go to 16 with the building, however you will not be able to sustain this army since the manpower you will have is going to be 10k and creating a unit is going to cost you 1k each, even with the national idea you will still get only 100 men per month, wich is not going to be fast enough. Also every unit is going to cost 10 gold to create and .10 to maintain, but you wont have enough gold to buy ten new unit when you get there and pay the upkeep of 1 gold per turn, even if you vassalised a few nations before coming, so you'll have to have and army of 12 to 14 maximum, and that's not going to be enough to defeat everyone by yourself. I managed to take the city cholula in the end but it took me 20 years and I had to make a couple of alliances along the way, plus paying a ton of military points to keep rebels from spreading since they would have crushed my army with their number of 8k. Eneway it's a nice strategy but I doubt it can work if you're not lucky.

from my experience the salish can become a beast if guided properly. i have a modernized salish kingdom allied with castille california and my colony in miwak is making me mad ducats, while my territories spanning from british colombia up to canada are getting me great tax revenue

[@mysticfire7675]

The way he pronounced Caddo hurt me.

[@igorswierczynski9084]

Hi thx for great guide. Pls tell me which ideas did u take? ( I mean whole set)

[@Fenix138]

Thank you for making these videos. I had a question on forcing Feudalism that I was hoping you might be able to answer. Thanks to your most recent video I'm aware of how to do an early embrace of Feudalism as a tribal nation, but I'm unclear on whether or not if it's worth it. I have very little experience playing tribal nations, so I'm going off the bit that you get 80% of the technology of whatever you reform off of. That being the case, aren't you better off waiting for a European? Also, if you embrace Feudalism right away, aren't you then going to have to force-develop Renaissance and Colonialism yourself as well?

[@jakevalinho9911]

this video is the game that got me into eu4... 2,400 hours later...

[@DepressedHandsomeSpaceCop]

Thanks for making this video. What are you spending your admin points on while your wait for reform? And don't you need to research all native ideas to enable reform with Conquest of Paradise DLC? Edit: NM I'm dumb. Switching to Nahautl changes the reform requirements entirely

[@nobody_expects_me]

Thanks for the video!

This can basically be done with all the natives, it is worth to consider unique native idea groups too, although I prefer to play as the Apache as I like their tier 1 unit model
