It sucks when you forget what you were doing and screw yourself over. At least with the TYW having started, you can focus on that while your diplo points recover and vassals are annexed.

I had allied Poland early but now disbanded that because I have 8/5 vassals but they did not PU Lithuania. As for naval superiority it seems I am able to achieve that, already sunk some smaller navies and there is only the english fleet but they only have 8 heavies cause they lost many in a war against Denmark and Hansa.Early European coalitions are really something you should look out for, as a Muslim you conquer Christian lands, so they all hate you to death. Sometimes it's not quite possible, but if you could, getting a European ally would benefit a lot. Like France. You could use him against Castile and he would also defend you if the coalition attacks. But it's tough to get that alliance sometimes, and he may just never turn green heart and stay defensive always, fine though, even the fact that he won't join the coalition is good enough.
As always, against the Europens, you must maintain naval superiority by building lots of galleys so that even if you lose, you can't lose much. You may go over limit as well if need be, because they cost nothing at all.
Thanks a lot And yes, I build buildings, just not that often. Because buildings cost way too much power points. I got at average tier 2 trade buildings in Constantinople trade node for example. I remember building military ones as well, not because I need it but because I had way too much MP at some point anyway, also increased manpower didn't hurt either. Temples are good too. And, navy ones can be needed sometimes. The usual cheap buildings aren't great, as most of them require a lot of time to get back their investation cost but the monarch points never return, though, there are certainly times you should build. As for unique buildings, they are pretty much a different case. I build embassy in all of my games, whenever I have the needed money. I even remember taking loans just to get that relation limit Other unique buildings aren't bad either, there are pretty good ones, so you should consider them. If you want money, manufactories usually give a nice income, I haven't done the maths but most people consider it worth, I build it if I have a lot of spare cash, but If I just got around 1k, it's better to save it for a war in which I might need mercs probably.Awesome AAR. As a player still struggling to subjugate Mamluks even by 1550s, I almost envy.
One question: Do you "ever" build any buildings at all? Even like manufactories, or unique buildings? Embassy might have helped you a lot with the additional diploat and the additional diplomatic relation.
Well, to be honest I've stopped writing... I lost interest in the game when I got so strong, and also another patch was up, and I also had some personal stuff took some of my time away. Still I wanted to finish this, as I was very close. But I just delayed doing so many weeks untill I finally realized that it would never happen. So no, it's not moved but that's just all I've written. I'm sorry if there were any folks that wanted me to end, I just got bored from ruling over hundreds of units all over Eurasia and the game was also slow due to that =/ The worst part is that I haven't even done the 2 achievements I was aiming for On paper I mean, because I could have ended Definetely The Sultan of Rum a lot ago, and there were just 2 or 3 provinces left to complete That's a Silk Road as I was already ruling all over Asia anyway.is this moved to somewhere else?
Nope, ofc not. It's different now but back then it used to be that if you were gonna go blobby, there was almost no point at building because the points were so important. I might have done a little building in early game, and also Constantinople but other than that AFAIK I only built trade buildings for the most part(though not many of them still)With your empire being so huge were you building all the buildings you could? That'd be A LOT of points used.
