Forty One years to go. Ryukyu World Domination hangs in the balance.

[DDRJake]

I've played a lot of map painting simulator, but seldom have I felt so invested in a game. It's going to be one hell of a final struggle.

There. Is. No. TIME.

after every dlc/major patch there is people that say WC is impossible with Ryuku or at all and Jake and the other people who do WC seem to pull them off. I think it's safe to say that it will still be possible

Johan himself told me at the Paradox Fangathering "in 1.8, world conquest will no longer be possible"

All I can say is "bring it"

I'm pretty sure it's completely gone; with colonies not affecting religious unity, threre is no other way to do this. What is required are ways to repeatedly, quickly, and costlessly affect religious unity both upward and downward. This cannot be done...

I beg to differ.

That's why i said it's tricky, setting up religious unity with such basetax is kind of hard afterall.

Not with the Glorious Religious Unity Calculator made by 270 and others.

I knew that the lack of a Swedish border could cause problems down the line so I started diplo-annexing Denmark even when I had -100 DIP and went about setting up a fresh bunch of unity missions. I overshot but a tiny amount, but converting 1 base tax of Shinto land set things right.

If there is another way to do so I really really really want to know, playing a 1.73 ironman ryuku and I had one of the luckiest starts, 1/1/1 emperor died to give me 5/3/2 or something like that, I beat the shit out of south east Asia so have 4 vassals in 1460, though i'm hoping ming will leave the coalition against me soon... Point being unless something goes wrong I am well on track to launch my own nuke pretty early on. Is there any point in me continuing with the exploit in your videos having been fixed? I've been reading up on the religious unity mechanic all day and I can't see any other way to get it to work . Is three mountains possible in 1.73????

1.7.0 still works on ironman mode, although you have to have made a copy of it and disable steam auto updates for EU4.

To all the unbelievers:

I still have not seen all the videos so I have few questions for those who has seen it all. During the first 20 parts Jake talks about "nukes", first two being missions exploits and protectorate-no-coalition trick (I guess). Third one should be something to do with being a pagan - is it the stuff that when you are a pagan you constantly get those events for +1 stab?

Also at the later stage (part 127, 21:05), Jake sits on -100 DP and is annexing Algier, which costs 112 DP (it is not the wargoal country). However despite the lack of DP he clicks the button and annex them anyway still sitting on -100 DP. What was going on?

The 3rd "Nuke" is indeed those pagan influences event. If you are a pagan nation and border a sunni, shiite, protestant, catholic or buddhist nation with >100 opinion of you, then you will get an event giving +1 stability with a MTTH of 5,000 months.

But this event is a provincial event, so if you have 500 pagan provinces, then you will get the event on average every 10 months. the MTTH is increased in the province is also of your culture group and if you have a theologian, but through sheer number of (pagan) provinces you can brute force your way to permanent +3 stability.

As for DIP costs, holy war allows you to annex all provinces for free, despite what the peace deal says. This goes for all members in said war.

Spoiler

Cleaning of heresy is the same, which allowed for the final, pagan Rome nuke.
