Started as a silly campaign where I just tried to get as many HRE princes as possible, but I got the same dynasty as Russia in the early 1600s and figured I might as well go for it. Same game had Ayuyatha(sp) unite everything up to the indian and chinese region which unfortunately resulted in wars against them to get the two relevant achievements. Or my Golden Horde one in that I initially waged two wars against the Ottomans returning a few cores to my vassal Byzantium and cutting them off so their Asian provinces were distant overseas(only takes 2 provinces really) and then they decide to expand in Europe while I was busy elsewhere and after seeing that I decided to leave them to it by the time they reached the Baltic. Or allowing Portugal to live as my ally even when they kept being dragged into wars against me as I wanted to get them through diplomatic means(though event would be fine too). In my Castile - Spain is the Emperor game for example after I conquered France and was almost done with England I had to stop for several decades to get humanist idea group up to the -50 culture acceptance as otherwise I would lose Cosmopolitaine as accepted and I felt like keeping it. Personally I set an initial goal(achievements are decent enough ones) and then mix role-playing with whatever looks interesting.Ĭountries to ruler their areas is something I find particularly amusing though it does require some thought due to how missions and random events can easily screw it up. I think they should add in one of their future titles a mode that allows players to conquer the world a bit easier.Ī Netherlands player who concentrates on their home turf, CNs and strong trade is more likely to have a higher score than a horde that just annexes land. The lead developer stated in a reddit discussion that world conquest is not supposed to be the goal of EU4. With AoW coming out it looks like it will be even more impossible. You would have to ignore many game elements and hope you get it done before you collapse. Its not meant to be feasable in EU4 and is pretty much only accomplished in the manner DDRJake did.

This is a pic from one of my 1.7 try, 1444-1674 Ottomans ironman I was too slow on Europe and gave up also Ming had gained 20 provinces or so it took forever just to reduce them in size, my next game had a better start but i got bored.Īll trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries.
