Hi, i finally got my new pc that can actually play ironmen(3 secs for a month counting autosave on speed 5), so i've just started to play to get the achievements.
I consider myself an experienced player since im playing since 1.0 , but im new to the 'lucky' ironmen mechanics.
So far i've got my fair share of them but im trying to warm up for the final challenge of them all : The fabled three mountains (Ryukyu WC)
So, i started a game as Austria to get used to all the WC thing (because you know, vassal swarm...)
heres what i got till now...
Revoked the privilegia in 1518 (got delayed a bit by the reformation)
I have a Pu over Burgundy and Hungary.
Already vassalized half of France, Scandinavia, Commonwealth, Byzantium and the great brittain.
Somehow Muscovy didnt touched novgorod but already started the rush to siberia.
I've picked diplomatic, influence and economic for ideas (diplo + economic for the -20% AE), currently bonus of -50% AE .
Im not a home right now but i think its lates 1570's , so i ask all of you old school ironmen World Conquerors.
How do i proceed next?
What ideas to pick? (Continue to stack -AE policies?) Or grab expansion for ROTW casus belli?
How fast and how much wars need i be at the same time?
Did i need to truce break?
And a more general question:
Does anyone here think staying catholic is worthy know? (At least for a non reunited HREmperor? )
Thanks anyway for your time.
