I play only using cheats and I play only colonial as I have very high self esteem and I also value the time that I am alive

 

[catjakker]

bruh what country did you form siam as. i've played as ayuthayya for 100 years longer and couldn't do so. i had to abandon the run because i've completed pretty much 90% of the mission tree and some pajeet state was supporting independence of my vassals

It's Ayutthaya. Basically for this run, it was: Ayutthaya -> Emperor of China Ayutthaya -> culture shift to Lao to from Lan Xang -> Siam. Now to form Siam as Lan Xang you need to complete 2 non-estate disasters. And because I'm an Emperor of China that isn't Chinese, there's a disaster called the "Emperor of China in Name" which was pretty easy to trigger and complete. The second disaster I did was "Internal Conflicts", all I did are just breaking some royal marriages for stability reduction and unrest alogside reducing army maintenance to trigger it. Similarly to the last disaster, it was also fairly easy to complete. After all of this, I culture shift to Chinese culture.

Why is this game so mean to me.

This is getting pretty boring now. A few more celestial reforms until I can turn tributaries into vassals and then after enough lands in India, I'll culture shift and form Orissa. Preferably, I would rather just form Rajputana but that's a bit out of reach.

i've fucked up yet another run where i was playing as muscovy. i lost an heir, lost all of my allies (most of which were irrelevant opms anyway) and immediately got declared on by ottomans right after forming ruzzia. this was an overall very unpleasant run.

now i'm considering playing either as india or japan

 

[jim🅱️o_fans_arent_white]

i really wish i could get into these games but i get easily overwhelmed 10 mins in, such as in hoi4, oh well

It's only like 3 years, what the fuck is going on.

my latest run as bahmanis went just right with me being pretty much the most successful pajeet state. once i'm done destroying vijayanagar in the south i'll be finally able to fully focus on conquering the north and basically become unstoppable.

also i've managed to convert like 1/4 of indian subcontinent to shia islam despite starting with no shia provinces lol

Is it because of the trading right? The Muslim religions in general have a pretty good missionary strength even if you're not -100 Piety.

I tried to play some colonialism again because I want to see if the mechanic was actually as bad as I remember, and to be honest, it's not that bad. It's just that it is extremely fucking boring. Playing tall in this game in general, is also pretty boring. I had way more fun razing shit as the Tatar or Mongol hordes I'll be honest.
