Tallfellow - go get real profit from my European holdings I would have to connect them to my capital, and this wont be easy : P
Ashantai - Thanks. French are still major threat, they lost just few provinces.
Dragonizer - Big nations like France tend to have level 1 forts everywhere except capitals because of lack of magisters, so I simply walk and assault.
Homy_dog34 - They are still my biggest enemy.
MrQwerty - When Im done with converthing North Africa (yea, few provinces still resist) I will start converting Pagans, then British Isles and then rest.
Episode 2 Part 7 - Rebels, rebels everywhere.
Because of war exhaustion rebels keep appearing in our countr, they are not threat - just annyoing, especcialy when they appear in
areas I dont have any army and moving takes long time
While we wait for rebels and truces to go away new national idea slot appears (25 gov), we choose something to deal with rebels.
Now, when revolt risk in my main provinces is 0 we can move on and conquer something. Portugal colonies seem nice target.
All their allies join and Sweden becomes war leader.We capture Portuguese mainland and colonies, Sweden keeps spamming us with white peace offers, smart guys.
As you can see I renamed some armies for better organisation.
We still have only 16 infamy so it's time to visit our old friend Castille.
Austria learned a lesson and dishonoured call. We ignore Castilles army and assault provinces,
Claims on 2 provinces - one is French possesion in British Isles and second - you see it.
In 1632 peace strikes.
Small note : Im not going to take Badajoz untill Cordoba cores because I have embassy there.
Year passes and our infamy is 18, we move to America and conquer Indians before someone else does it.
Meanwhile our university in Gao (capital) is finished and we can enact two good decisions :
School Establishment act : +4% PE, -3% Stability Cost, -2% Tax, +3% Build cost.
Islamic Centre of Scholary : +8% Build cost, -1RR, +2,5% missionary chance.
While building cost has raised greatly (11%), it should have no big impact on treasury.
One war ends, another starts, our tactic - walk and assault - is working greatly.
Africa in 1634, after conquering Castilian Swahili, I will use tribal CB to conquer real Swahili and then clean mess in Ethiopia.
To convert all pagan provinces Im going to need a lot of missionaries. There is easy way to get some more, shame I havent thought about this earlier.
Conquering Pope will give us 0.5 more missionaries and +1% prestige per year.All his allies join war, with Sicily becoming war leader.
After leaving Roma, Tuscanian army arrives and conquers the city, meanwhile we go to Sicily and talk with their king.
War ends with Sicily paying tribute to us.
Now small look at armies :
Our army is biggest on the world but we are not able to use all of it in war.Austria as emperor is second on list. French army seems to be very small, this may be good opportunity to strike.
We send spies and discover few things :
This is only French big stack in Europe. There is also 5k soldiers in Liguria. This seems to be good opportunity to reduce size of Blue Blob.
Four stacks attack from Iberia and stack from England lands in Normandy and proceeds to capture Capital. After 7 months of war French surrenders.
With rich wine provinecs secured our tarrif and trade income should increase.
Even such fast war had big impact on our nation.
//If I will ever do another AAr, It will be on 5.2, this war exhaustion from attrition is insane.
In 1638 we get backstabed by cores.
More cash!
