I'm trying to knock out a few CK2 achievements before CK3, so I decided to unify India and become Samrat Chakravartin for the "My Very Own Subcontinent" achievement.
Using an old Tughluq of Rajasthan save, I finished conquering the subcontinent in about 25 years. Now, I had only to conquer 4 counties owned by the Western Protectorate to own all of India.
In an old thread I made, but never followed through on, folks recommended turning off the Jade Dragon DLC before attacking the Western Protectorate, since I didn't feel like fighting 200k China doomstacks for a few measly counties.
I did just that, saved up 4,000 gold, hired 30k mercenaries, and then started a holy war for 3 of 4 the counties I need. I was doing petty good early on, and finally killed the bulk of the WP troops. But then, ~47K new attrition-less Chinese troops just showed in the Bay of Bengal!
Does the trick of deactivating the Jade Dragon DLC no longer work like it used to?
