First Cossack Campaign

[blackchoas]

Would have liked to see the new achievements before making this thread but I figure what the hell

Cossacks is less than a week away from release, so what are people's plans for their first campaign?

I'm considering a Sweden Campaign, particularly because now I don't have to form Scandinavia to get a cultural union so I won't feel like I'm actively weakening myself by not forming it

Also probably gonna try at least one of the Custom Nation achievements early on, and maybe try and come up with a more roleplay based Colonization Campaign with the Random New world

What are other people's ideas, there will be so much new to try since Estates seem to be such a huge feature

Im gonna be a horde and with the new culture convert system i will convert my provinces to polish till i can culture shift, and then form poland as a steppe horde.

 

[Neoton]

Probably Spain since it's the best way to experience the new colonization(dat RNW!) and diplomacy. I just hope that the expansion isn't too expensive.

 

[Shamanist]

I will probaply try great khan achievement as an mongolia. I think that will be very fun!

 

[Sian]

yeah ... Great Khan is the one for me as well

 

[Promanco]

Castille or Brandenburg, I might cheat and become Tengri with affinity for Catholics lol

 

[Bella Gerant]

I want to play as one of the Manchu tribes and just experiment with the Syncretic faith system and the hordes stuff (can I force my Tengri vassals to have the same syncretic faith as me? Do I convert to Confucian when I form Qing? Does reforming government make me Muslim tech? Do I automatically get terrible Chinese tech if I form Manchu? How fast can I completely raze Korea and Japan? Is crushing enemies, seeing them driven before me, and hearing the lamentations of their women truly best in life?)

I have so many questions and so many provinces to annihilate.

And then it'll be time for KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!! One thing at a time, after all.

 

[LemonMonk]

Muscovy ftw!!!!!

Timurids since i've never played them and waiting for the new horde mechanics seemed like the right thing to do. Same with a Manchu tribe.

Also Japan because as I understood it, the new RNW can let a lot more trade flow to Asia and thus making a semi-role-play Asian colonial Empire actually fun.
On that note, does somebody know if the RNW will be seedable? If so we might should start a thread where cool RNW's are shared with their main qualifications (as trade flowing to Asia for example) as a way to prevent giant spoilers form the staring screen without TI, while still not wasting your time just because the specific goal of the run is not achievable with the specific RNW.

 

[Magnificent Genius]

Probably Timurids>Mughals and then Muscovy>Russia then Jianzhou>Manchu>Qing.

Yeah I'm waiting for the thread about all the possible fantasy empires that can be found, I really hope one of them is the Lost 13th Tribe of Israel, just a random Jewish Kingdom in new world

 

[ywxiao]

I've been thinking a Danzig->Poland/PLC->Germany campaign. Other than that Manchu.

 

[Golladan]

I have a tendency to play Castile whenever a new expansion is released...

 

[IIWW]

Definatelly Silesia.

 

[solidprice]

Patch notes are a Huge decider of what I'll play next.
I could easily see my culture conversion fun strategy dashed in a snap of a finger so easily.
Havng said that,Muscovy/horde most likely.

 

[Earmuffs]

Probably Qara > Persia and go for This is Persia! achievement.
I was gonna do it last week but when I discovered Qara is a horde nation I thought I'd save it for Cossacks and kill two birds with one stone.

 

[batui9]

I am feeling a crimea-> Poland game coming on right now

 

[Reverend Belial]

Depends on who's included in the new content pack. I'll definitely do the Russia game I've been postponing due to the announcement of Cossacks, but I'm really hoping that some other Slavic nations get some units and that Bukhara gets some sprites too.

For those imagining a horde>Poland campaign, I have a few words for you.

We'll trust the sejm.

Steppe Nomads are not exempt from the event that forces you into an elective monarchy. This specter will haunt you until the year 1600 - so, if you want your all-cav death stacks with all the cav bonuses, you're going to have to wait a while.

 

[happymix91]

Play my 1.13.2 save datas, if they will be converted to 1.14 well. I want to manage estates of recently played nations.

Do I convert to Confucian when I form Qing?

Yes. Forming Manchu makes you stay at Tengri, but forming Qing makes you convert to Confucianism as Wiz said.
