Haven't played a lot outside of Europe much, need some suggestions for help with stability cost.
Formed Hindustan, took most of the cores on the subcontinent, year is now 1550 or so. I took the first Westernization choice and WOW, it took 5 years to gain each stab point. I have temples in all of my provinces, so it's not that. How could I speed things up?
Church Attendance duty is one option, but that would cost 3 stab to take.
Trading more is one option right?
I have a six star Artist but that doesn't help much.
Do certain buildings aside from temple help?
Would spinning off vassals right and left (since they're all cored anyways) help? Seems cheap though...
Does converting provinces to right religion help? I would think so, but that would mean an expedition to Mecca/Rome/Jerusalem.
What I'm doing in the meantime is I've hired three six star advisors and am hoping to get an event that gives stab boosts before taking another decision. Lonnnnnng wait.
Right now, I'm looking at another 4 stab points to further Westernize, 6 (or is it 5?) to Westernize army, 4 to swap to feudal monarchy or noble republic.
I did the whole Westernization thing once with the Byz, but that was a LOT faster. Usually, late game with a sprawling empire, one stab point will take 8-12 months with an European country. What gives?
