    Just finished my first Iron Man: Holland -> The Netherlands

    Caught a really lucky break when I won the war of Spanish succession against France at the end of the 1500s. Focused on building a trade empire and maintaining naval dominance. At the end of the game I was raking in over 1k ducats per month.

    Political map. Spain was Junior partner, Wales and Greece were vassals.

    Diplomatic map. Note Dutch Constantinople and Cairo.

    World Powers.

    Dutch Africa. Focused on the trade provinces and filled in the gaps.

    Dutch South Pacific. The entire nation of Portugal is on the island of Papua New Guinea.

    Dutch/Spanish North America. *Almost* conquered the whole continent, but didn't finish off Chichimeca.

    Dutch/Spanish South America. Conquered the whole continent relatively early.

    Trade view. By the end of the game, The Netherlands had majority trade power in 23 nodes.

    My court. This was a stronger-than-average monarch, although I had level 5 advisors in every slot constantly since the 1600s.

    Dev map, including 76 dev in Amsterdam.

    Final score.

    Stalling the Rise of Islam - An Egyptian Tale

    Stalling the Rise of Islam - An Egyptian Tale

    The date is September 14th, 654. The Rashidun Caliphate has called for a Jihad against the Kingdom of Egypt. The world as we all know it trembles, for this is the first Great War.

    https://preview.redd.it/pu4y9oh2h6161.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ee908268ba9af0a2da1c0dc704b795b00f05de3

    Many of you know the Extended Timeline mod. From year 2 to 9999, you can play as long as you want and go through an abnormally large amount of historical moments, shaping the world as you wish. Now, I'm a man of long campaigns and many historical "what-ifs", so I decided to go for a Kush into Egypt run, starting at year 58 (Roman-Parthian war). I expanded decisively, feasting on Roman decadence to incorporate legitimate Egyptian soil, and spent a couple centuries in peace, developing Nilotic land and holding the Parthian threat at bay.

    But then Islam came.

    For those who haven't played on year 627, ET developed some mechanics meant to help the Rashidun Caliphate reach their historical might. Not only do they carry the powerful Caliphate government reform for as long as they exist, but they also have a 50-year grace period called the Rise of Islam. And yes, all those numbers are very real. Not only that, but they AI has an event that pops every time they've been up to 6 months at peace with the Rise of Islam buff on, forcing them to declare war on a neighbor they're on a truce with.

    ​

    By the year 654, I was their only available choice. As seen in the image above, I had three allies with me: the powerful Satavahana dynasty, the nomadic tribes of distant Xiongnu and Animist Tunisia, plus a small march in Israel. Rashidun weren't alone either; despite being a menace to all civilization and Great Power number 1 with over 1000 development, they had the mighty Caucasian Albania by their side, who had taken over the Pontic Steppes and some parts of Eastern Europe, while also counting on a small Shirvan to aid them in Persia.

    https://preview.redd.it/5zwijd5en6161.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b042c8d8970e3f74da7af19728a7f1238aae7d2c

    The idea was clear from the start: we can't fight the Caliphate's troops. They're too many and too strong, and as a Jihad's war goal is to show superiority, every battle lost would cost us dearly. So I laid behind my Suez fort, waiting for my powerful but distant allies to arrive. Their journey took over a year, but Israeli structures were strong, and by 656 AD the Albanian countryside was collapsing. On an attempt to fight both fronts, Caliphate troops went north and left only Albanian armies in my land. A costly mistake.

    By January 658 AD, Albania was out of the war. No land could be taken from them due to a lack of frontiers, but 1300 ducats was enough to keep my allies' economies solid throughout the war. Or so I thought, for the war was getting very long, and marching from Mongolia to Arabia was proving expensive for Xiongnu, who decided to white peace on November 660 AD. A tough loss, but it also showed that they weren't the only ones getting tired of this war. On January 2nd 661 AD, Shirvan asked for white peace without suffering a single occupation. And only eighteen days later, the mighty Caliphate asked for the same null treatment.

    Usually, a white peace isn't something to get excited for in EU4. Experience and strategic depth can show you that almost all wars can be turned around and won, and even the toughest odds can be built from to reach success. But when going for a role-play game, there is some level of thrill on wondering how are you gonna turn around said situations when push comes to shove. And in this case, Egypt were far outclassed in battle, but far superior in the battlefield, meaning no inch of land was lost to the Rashidun.

    ​

    Or so I thought.

    https://preview.redd.it/vshncr2as6161.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f3b5176110eb868100944b4e4caef585985f898

    As it turns out, a province occupied for at least 5 months by a country with the Rise of Islam modifier can actually defect to the Caliphate and automatically gain them a core, leaving you with a bad taste on your mouth if you didn't protect all your frontier properly.

    Oh well, it seems we'll have to launch a crusade...

    Ahh, yes that's where eastern Europe is.

    How do I win against the Ottomans when they're allied with AQ and other minors in that area? My ally's armies just keep walking back and forth between Lithuania and the great horde and leave me completely alone against the enemies.
