Sunni Horde Najd is BROKEN! Desert Power and Jihad Achievements Made EASY! - The EU4 Completionist

Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. We haven't uploaded in almost 2 YEARS! Well I'm back and fully committed to continuing regular uploads of EU4 and related content to the channel. We will be uploading every single Thursday! And maybe a bit more if we get ahead of ourselves ;)
In this Europa Universalis IV [EU4] campaign we play as the small tribal nation of Najd and attempt to convert the world to Islam for the Jihad achievement, where we must own 500 Sunni provinces as the nation of Najd. In this campaign we also have a goal of getting the Desert Power achievement where we must have 1000 development within the Arabia region. So our goal is to play an extremely wide, yet surprisingly rall campaign. We also have side missions to get the Arabian Coffee achievement and Sworn Fealty. The new Arabian missions make this achievement easier than it has ever been, and I thoroughly enjoyed this run.
Thank you all for watching another icepyre video. I hope you enjoy this content, and if you do, be sure to give the video a like and subscribe down below. We have a never ending stream of games and exploits to explore, so stay tuned for what's to come!

I got the Jihad achievement literally like an hour ago lol u inspired me to go for it it was a shit ton of fun. U also inspire me to play my favorite nation in this game - the mighty Mughals before they get revamped. Great great player man one of the best imo more power to ya keep doing ur thing

[@adobe521]

The return we've all been waiting for! Cant wait for the new videos, glad to see you back 👍

[@ozzyuzunsoy]

Hey, I normally don’t post comments on videos and I am halfway into your video but I can’t help myself but to comment. As an horde player, you can click on province and press Z then C to raze faster. You can also add this knowledge in your other horde videos. Keep up the good work 🙂

[@ozzyuzunsoy]

Additionaly, everybody has their own ways to play but afaik arabian cav units are pretty strong therefore as 4. Idea group horde ideas would be nobrainer. Also it has pretty good policies 🙂

[@icepyre]

Iirc that used to not be a command when I started playing the game. Not sure of the when next horde campaign will be but it'll be a few achievements in one. Forever golden into Mongol empire played until tech 32.

[@Shepherd492]

Great playthrough! You should be able to get the Najd achievement even after forming another country, by the way (at least according to the Wiki). You only need to start as Najd. Not that you really needed the extra boost from going Arabia haha.

[@icepyre]

If I wasn't so addicted to horde government I would have formed Arabia way earlier haha.

[@nickkilby2680]

I know its not much from a stranger on the internet, but I really enjoy your videos. Your old series was great and I was HYPED when brought back this new series. I feel like your videos are for the more casual players like me that can play the game but dont enjoy the min-maxxing a lot of eu4 creators use.

[@icepyre]

Glad you enjoy them! That's definitely my intention. I could min max and pull my hair out, but I enjoy going in blind with only a rough plan and just playing things out.

[@Yacovo]

18:19 Your general getting the Cannoneer trait after commenting you didn't even have the artillery policy was great timing. Thanks for the video.

[@augustosannita9329]

To be honest Ice, i cant believe you didnt pick Aristo ideas, they were perfect for this lol, anyways. Nice video like always!

[@TheArmageddon42]

I am so glad you are back! You actually inspired me to achievement hunt for myself. I am at 51% and started with your David the Builder guide. Looking forward to you attempting the really, really hard ones imo like "From Frankfurt to Andes" or "Australia-Hungary".

AI France is nuts since they gave it a free burgundian inheritance in the missions. The only thing that stops it is England surrendering Maine and they end up in a stalemate, blocking the french missions. But most of the time they stomp England and often get Burgundy. Gets a bit boring to see France owning most of the Netherlands that often tbh.

[@mclovin_dragons3864]

Ok this is epic

[@coolykid443]

hey there, think you could show the file exploit that allows as much dev as you want, turning rulers immortal, etc so paradox will finally do something about it maybe? its been in the game for like 4 years at this point lmao (ironman compatible too)

[@bytelaw1711]

gg

[@karex6138]

you can do sleeples in seattle achiv in this game, missing only one condition, check it

[@icepyre]

I think I'm gonna go for that one during my sunset invasion game next patch. 😉

[@bekniyazzhomay1369]

Why you don't forming Arabia? From missions you can gave many claims entire regions

[@icepyre]

Because I would lose horde government. Which in my opinion trumps the missions. We do form Arabia in the next video for the claims on Iberia and France.

[@aliakhdar]

would forming arabia turn you into a monarchy?

[@icepyre]

Yes

[@aliakhdar]

@@icepyre theocracy arabia is OP with the later reforms for war score against other religions if you're interested in going down that route
