Let the Bengal Tiger Roar! Bengal Dharma LP

[BogMod]

Yes Dharma is out! I have been looking forward to this for a while. Not only because of the many fun interesting things is brings to the table but because I haven't indulged in the fun of Europa Universalis 4 for a while. So this time we head to the fun of the India region. Having done a pole with my patrons it will be Bengal we dive into. I am really hoping to complete all their missions which is going to involve a whole lot of cunning diplomacy and even more cunning warfare. So come along and join the fun. Follow along here or on youtube. Feel free to comment as well join in the story.

First parts are always about getting all your goals and armies and things lined up. Then comes the inevitable war of expansion. Bengal has many many options for advancement in that regard so long as you can play the political game well.

 

[BogMod]

So the east is secured I think time to look north right? There are opportunities about!

 

[BogMod]

Nothing can stop us! Bengal continues to grow in might, influence, wealth, the all the metrics by which one judges the success of a nation. Mostly though I think we grow in nobility. Who could argue we are the most honorable in the land?

 

[BogMod]

More sweet wonderful coastline. Let those tendrils of land I desire spread out then give me more claims. More of the best kind of claims the permanent kind!

 

[BogMod]

The big natural powers that form are doing fine. Jaunpur, Bahmanis, Delhi, etc. Some of them should be viable as a temporary patsy to serve my aims but who?

 

[BogMod]

The Timurids will always have a special place for me so it is kind of sad to see them suffer so. No Mughals for this game it seems.

 

[BogMod]

One day I will get my hands on Exploration and then I will find all the rest of the world. All of it!

 

[BogMod]

Breaking Ava to the east will be a complication. All those loyal tributaries feeding it power and keeping it from being in coring range. Hmm.

 

[BogMod]

I definitely have a solid 3 idea groups I almost always play. Defensive, Economic, and Exploration. Which are your always picks?

 

[BogMod]

Getting my hands on that sweet sweet Jaunpur lands. Mmm...so full of development.

 

[BogMod]

Ming always looms to the east. They will be our final challenge. That is unless the Ottomans go really out of control in their eastern invasions. Though I don't see signs of them yet.

 

[BogMod]

Today's ally is tomorrows friend. The trick is always in making sure that the friend you want isn't friends with your enemy.

 

[BogMod]

Ok so not the fanciest borders sure. They are a work in progress. All art has that middle stage where it doesn't look like much.

 

[BogMod]

Feed your vassals. Vassals need to be fed to grow big and strong and useful.

 

[BogMod]

Not super happy about being hated by the Ming but so long as I am not touching them they should leave me alone for now.

 

[BogMod]

By nature the people of Bengal are a peaceful people. I really like to think these other nations brought it on themselves.

 

[BogMod]

Hey look we can see a Europe! The Ottomans are acting different to what I expected I am going to be honest.

 

[BogMod]

Let my colonies grow!

 

[BogMod]

I will break Bahamanis or Delhi and they will be devoured by those around them. The question is which will break first?
