Hello everyone! My name is Daniel and I'm a novice EU IV player. It has been quite some time since I started to insist in doing a WC as Timbuktu and I would appreciate if more experienced players would give me tips, not only for Timbuktu, but for WC in general. I guess I should preface this saying that I have only played after the year 1600 in some instances and these were a long time ago (there wasn't even institutions by then).
So, I put some objectives down that would act as a guiding line, but I'm not sure if they are correct for a WC. And these are:
1 - Conquer all West Africa by the year 1500
2 - Conquer India, or at least grab some part of it, by the year 1600
From number 3 onward I have no idea which should be my objectives. I also have some mechanics related questions:
1 - Should I spend Monarch Points forcing institutions to spawn or even speed them up? In my last attempt, I was managing to keep up the pace with mil tech, but both adm and dip were severely behind (I had 2 adm and 5 dip be the year 1530)
2 - Should my first idea be exploration? - the idea is to make a connection to East Africa, so I can expand to India
3 - Should I use the humiliate rival CB to get monarch points or is that a waste of time?
4 - When I reform my government, should I go for republic? I honestly have a huge prejudice towards monarchies governments in this game, because I feels like republics have such a better control of monarch points and such.
I guess this is it for now. I would like to thank any suggestion in advance1
