That would definitely be an interesting rule to have and would make any non-European nation a tough choice. But even without westernizing, I think something like this AAR would be possible. I think you remember my Japan work where I wasn't able to Westernize, although that was made simpler because I didn't have to worry about investing in a navy back then. It ought to be made more difficult these days and I'd like to see it when you get the time.
This was Brilliant!
This was not enough for a WC, but it wasa way more than the original goal!

Turning Buddhist and getting away from your roots should be a no-no if you intend that. Instead, keep westernization but have a no-religion-change house rule.
On the other hand, if Mongol Khanate is already Buddhist, forgive my ignorance. Then, I'll advise another (Shamanist) Central Asian Khanate and keeping westernization. Too bad you didn't like Maldives, though there isn't anything to like about a Maldives game.
Truly amazing work, PrawnStar. Absolutely awe-inspiring. You say that anyone could do that with enough practice, but I truly believe that only the masters at work can pull off something like that without making any disastrous mistakes (or at least, I know I would make some disastrous mistakes)
How about a Papal States AAR? Get revenge on Milan for surviving the indomitable Iroquois army, and it's certainly an unusual country. Also, I don't recall seeing many other Papal States AARs around, though admittedly I tend to look for new AARs sporadically.

My first near-WC was with the Maldives, actually. I thought they were awesome. To be fair, it was NOT AAR quality - I rose to dominance through heavily playing the trade game for the first couple hundred years - but there's plenty to like about them.
I think Ethiopia could be interesting in MMP, but probably not for a WC. The idea of MK in vanilla sounds good, although I'm not sure you'll get good karma playing a country with the same initials as Milton Keynes
Kami - :rofl:
Unibrow - There's a fair bit of luck involved dealing with the Mamluks as well as at least one gamey strategy for westernising that should work almost every time.
naggy - How? Do you have an outline plan?
Hitmanalex - Thank you (I think
) Brandenburg III - I do remember your Japan game so yes a 'no westernisation' rule is viable. The other pagan / exotic minors people suggest are basically end runs for westernisation then turbo tech into a war machine. I can do that already.
Griffin.Gen - Thanks!
praxiteles - The Mongol Khanate are Buddhist, it's the Oirats who are Shamanist. I don't want to play another Pagan quite yet. I think that not westernising will make for a much harder game
Falastur - Thanks. Not sure about the Papal States, after all I'd have to call it 'The Audacity of Pope'
ulmont - Saved from a dreadful AAR title!
Kami - Too much micromanagement to keep all the rebels under control.
MagisterMundi - That's the approach I would take. Trade based hyperteching, exploration (hello Mutapa), westernisation, bloodbath.
aldriq - I'm not actually bothered about doing a WC more in finding an interesting challenge that is outside most readers own gaming experience.
Plan? What's that?
The cheeseball method would be to sell your northernmost provinces to a Latin Christian OPM (who will build forts), make them happy, westernize, reform, and then take them back so you can build European units on their newly cored territory.

WC with Milton Keynes!
All hail our Iroquois overlords! I've read this since the beggining, loved it. Given the impossibility of this task i urge you to try:
Xhosa( in WWM): an african tribal minor in the middle of cape town. If you were able to do that then i would create a new religion of which the bible equivalent is The audacity of hope- old testament( where prawnstar made an alliance with the iroquois people and the new testament- Xhosa:all hail the mighty Bantu!:rofl:

Now do Ethiopia
I agree: too easy.

Suggestion: Timurid Empire, seeing how quickly you can reduce it to a 1PM. Exact opposite of a WC
Or just Timurid Empire in general, without leaving tribal and trying to hold everything together.
Also:
It is my (Specialist290) pleasure to bestow upon you (PrawnStar) a coveted Red Special Cookie!

OY! Stop stealing my AAR cookie awards..... Or at least accept that mine is the origanal, tastiest cookie. Oh and I have decided, after careful consideration, to award you a Bar to your Cookie-It's basically an award for all those who finish an AAR which I have enjoyed ....
