I remember doing it my first time (blind without guides). It ended up with me juggling vassalizing and stealing provinces from neighbors, even those who were non-cobeligerent. I basically had 0 manpower, 0 admin and in general just horrible tech, the only thing keeping me afloat was the fact that i short term fixed all problems by dev'ing my provinces for extra gold or manpower per month. I blobbed crazy fast, having horrible unrest at all times (also stability cuz you know, reforming is minus 2 stab). Even tho i had Merc companies I was carried by all the army tradition i got by killing rebels 24/7. But mind you, i was 3 and at times 4 mil tech behind at one point. Had I not paused my blobbing I would surely have crumbled as I did at this point lose with 18k armies vs 7k stacks from enemies lol. This fast expansion tho did give me high total dev sum early so I reformed crazy early. I think I reformed when I Portugal had arrived, which at that point was tech 8 or 9. Reformed and strong, I went to form Inca empire and drowned in manapoints ;) For some reason also I had 0%ahead/behind modifyer to tech cost? Maybe bugged or intentional? Rest of the game I just kept bullying Spain and Portugals colonies for easy blobbing. I think I was rank 1 on scoreboard in 1490 or 1500. This was my first "great campaign" and I really felt I juggled all perfectly, although unknowingly and accidental. Idk what the optimal strat for Cusco is, but if you want a "stressful fast blob" early game followed by an autopilot steamroll campaign I'd def reccomend the strat i explained. I played this campaign on my 150th hour I think, and it truly was a game where I learned a lot from managing near-disaster situations. Playing in Europe after that campaign I was just Soo much better as a player in general.

I got near destruction too from spain, but after the 2nd war I could attack their colony instead of spain itself so I took everything back in one war as colonial territory is cheap, You can eat 3 times more than in Europe. If you get the reform before they kill you you can kill them. But maybe they fixed the bugs as attacking their colony didn't call their master to war which felt stupid and too easy. But with the reform with can fight everyone because they need to land and usually aren't good enough at landing.

[@celdur4635]

@@kami6401 They lost it progressively after a few decades. The Spanish formed a web of alliances against the hated Inca, it wasn't Spain sending armies or anything like that. 95% of of the army where native allies, they then took over command of the empire and its administration in place of the Inca, and legitimized their rule through intermarriage with the native elites of each nation and region, promising them autonomy and independence FROM the Inca. It was only after the waves of plague that most of the survivors of the native nations where the children of the intermarriages (obvious to us now ofc) and they took over as leaders "Curacas" and solidified Spanish control even more. That's why initially the Spanish settled in very important native cities like Cuzco or created new ones close to their native allies, mostly on the coast like Lima and Trujillo. Chan Chan which was the capital of the Chimú was in used even 60 years after "conquest" liberated and restored after being pillaged several times by the Inca, before being abandoned in favor of Trujillo which had a become more important by then. Its not by chance that today's heart of Peruvian culture is not the Andean region but the Pacific coastal plain where most of the population today lives, and most of the cities and industries are located.

[@IronFatherJohn]

Inca is one of my favorite games. I get so triggered when I see noobs on forums telling people not to focus on gold. You have to embrace the inflation. Become one with the inflation. Love the inflation Edit: the real reason to avoid concentrating development is your capital Cuzco is gold. The mine will collapse and all your concentrated development will be destroyed.

[@DavidLodgeclassof]

Yeah. Gold is better than tax, worse than trade. But it takes a while for trade to go up, and good is available at the start. I see it as a trade off - more money early game for more inflation late game. That's a trade I'll easily take, as money is only an issue early game. Only problem I have with gold? If colonizing or blobbing well, I often don't have the points to spare (exploration as Oman took a lot of money and a lot of diplo points, especially since I vassalized and diplo-annexed multiple nations. Legalism alone kept me afloat).
