WOMEN IN HISTORY dlc events. Got to love them
The Mughals got quite a lot of these events.
This one is about Nur Jahan.
I made her a statesman advisor, as it would speed up the integration of Bahmanis.
I had been running with estate +3 theologian(or inquisitor)/+3 diplomat from estates since forever, but I used the +2 female Nur Jahan advisor for Bahmanis.
This event option also gives 100 monarch points in each category, which isn't to be scoffed at.
The alternative is to make Nur Jahan your new 20 year old female ruler. I clicked this event away fast, thinking
'YAY FREE monarch points'
Regretting it, after looking up what stats the queen empress had in the event files
She would have been a 5/5/4 stat empress, and I almost slapped myself for passing up on a 20 year old 5/5/4 queen
And a female empress that likes to hunt tigers, and rides war elephants into battle, might have been the better choice for story in this AAR also
Well, what is done, is done
I was pre-occupied with rebels, and gave the event options little thought
rebels... REBELS!
OH MY GOD REBELS!
Ayutthaya won the war against Kachar, and call for peace is close. Time to take what is rightfully MINE.
I handed it all to Bahmanis, as my admin points were low.
And I *REALLY* didn't want more revolt risk due to overextension. NOT now.
God knows coring Malwa state territory increased revolt chance by a load
I had almost forgotten about MING to be honest. Stupid rebels. Kept me too busy
Ming will ACCEPT diplo vassalisation??? OOOKKKAYYY, I'll try to do THAT then. Got to be quick about it, as I must do this BEFORE westernisation finishes!
Ming has 7/9/5 tech. Right
Ming needs some loving, but first I'll declare on Jaunpur again... Ottomans are in serious debt after the league war, and still won't protect them due to debt.
I made Timurids full co-belligerent.
They really are a joke now..
Time to move southeast to Jaunpur now. They are actually on the prowl here, and Jaunpur tries to snipe my stack in the mountain pass.. I sent reinforcements from Kashmir.
They almost routed me there, those reinforcements arrived just in time to rout THEM instead.
I chased that routing stack, and consolidated troops right before engaging it.
*WIPE*
I parked my troops on ONE of their forts and some artillery (with entire Bahmanis army attached) on their mountain fort.
Full province forcelimit sieging is really needed versus a quantity nation on very hard. Especially if they got one more morale then you.
Yeah, I still wasn't able to tech to military 15... Tech costs are RIDICULOUS now due to corruption, comparable to native American tribe tech costs
And RNGezus loves the Mughals, as I get the 'profits in Mecca' event. +5 free mercantilism.
FIVE!
That, combined with the mercantilism events I now get, is pushing up mercantilism to a nice level. For free.
(Note that you can get this 'profits in Mecca' each two years, so to speak. Its a generic event)
Jaunpur just doesn't STOP. I am sieging their capital, and they ATTACK.
The moment they were movement locked, I made mercenaries in ALL nearby provinces, and threw them in. And I routed them once more
Jaunpur now went for the capital of Persia. They had enough. Be my guest, I'll siege you up 100% then
Timurids got full annexed, and went up in Persia. Persia is WESTERNIZING off Russia now. They ALSO got a ton of rebels.
Great
Mughals took Kashmir for themselves. Time to get rid of all these enclaves on MY India.
So I attacked Oudh. MY India! MY Juicy state
Jharkand broke free of Malwa, and they received a DOW too. Because why not.
The Mughals took the capital state of Jaunpur, and the juicy state of Tirhut.
Oudh just gave me war reparations and all their dosh (500 ducats or so). I don't have to points to core you at the moment
Right after, the Mughals took the decision to move the capital to DELHI.
It is a national decision for the Mughals, and it makes Mughals the true Indian Empire, as their culture is once again shifted to HINDVI. Hindvi is in same culture group as Panjabi.
So, basically entire former Delhi and Multan and Oudh is in my culture group.
I then cursed, realizing I should have cored OUDH and not Jaunpur. Oh well.
The truce with Oudh won't last long.
And I really wanted to KILL Jaunpur. Quantity + very hard in AI nation= BAD to fight against
UGH westernization events. One campaign you get -legitimacy constantly, another gives you 6 times -1 stab, and here I get constant nobles, and peasants, and reactionaries. Peasant event isn't that bad, as it just gives increased revolt risk in ONE province. Big deal
Anyways, it's always nice if you can move troops to the province where the event rebels will spawn, BEFORE accepting the event.
Note that the capital move to DELHI made me LOSE Spain as a rival.
Seems I must be big indeed
I almost forgot entirely about MING
Guess what: The Mughal Empire diplo-vassalised MING.
I border them, and I had to 'return province' a few of the cores I owned of them, and VOILA.
The nations that rebelled out of Ming stole most of the blingbling MING had.
But Ming kept most of their blingbling cores..
Somehow I foresee some serious reconquest action in China
First victim is WU.
They have no allies and few manpower thanks to KOREA invasion. I send my (new) attack dog Ayutthaya their way with favor spending. No worries, I'll come to help when I can
But first, time to deal with rebels in Persia. Already a few nations broke away from Persia. They kept all their cores though. So, time for some easy reconquest wars while we finish westernizing.
Persia is actually on the verge of bankruptcy here, thanks to westernizing and rebels..
But, their overlord helps them out
Hmm, Afghanistan is on the way to WU.
So hey, why not.
Hmm, Multan is on the way to WU.
So hey, why not.
They both got full annexed in the end
And then Ottomans goes for Russia again. Sure, why not. I'll accept to join. Don't expect another covert op into Muscow though..
Bit BUSY here
Hmm, SPAIN joins the war? Yeah, Spain took Russia as ally, after a militaristic ruler in Great-Britain broke alliance with Spain.
And then...
the Mughal Empire FINISHED the westernization process.
Got Ming as vassal JUST in time, so it seems
I foresee some serious Ming reconquest in next chapter.. I need that stolen Ming blingbling back
Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
