    SUPER TALL Japan; 7048 dev in 48 provinces

    SUPER TALL Japan; 7048 dev in 48 provinces

    Welcome to the Japanese co-prosperity sphere globe. You've seen tall games, but this is super tall.

    • 7048 development across 48 stated provinces.
    • The highest developed province is 171, the lowest developed stated province is 141.
    • 81 tributaries dutifully providing me with an extra 490 mana per year.
    • Nearly every nation paying tribute to our greatness. No disloyal subjects.
    • 4.3k income. 1m army force limit, 2227 naval force limit. Dominating world trade from Japan with nearly 2000 lightships.
    • Producing insane amounts of goods to the effect that only 1 dyes province produces over half of the world's supply at 34.96 goods produced.
    • It's currently 1707 - if I continued to 1823 I'd estimate an additional 5280 development for a total 12,328 development across 48 stated provinces.

    The trick is being Muslim and Andalusian culture or Catholic and any other Iberian culture, then maintaining exactly 50% stated development between the previous culture and another. To set this up you'll want to develop and culture convert some provinces to ensure they remain even after the following steps. You assign a holy order (50 points) to give each province in the state 1 development. After you assign orders to all states, you culture shift to the non-Iberian culture to remove the holy order (you keep the development), wait for the month tick, then culture shift back to assign holy orders again and repeat.

    The conventional strategy for playing tall by stacking development cost modifiers can make development cheaper than this, but only for a limited amount. Using holy orders across 13 states and 48 provinces resulted in 17.7 mana per development, regardless of terrain or existing development.

    Check out that city sprawl! If only two of my provinces were independent, they would make #3 great power, lol.

    Could have made everyone a tributary, but it got to a point of playing cat and mouse by losing tributaries whom are allied to the nation you attack. Also nations max out giving 12 mana/month and some of these are way over the threshold, so ideally they would be broken up a bit, but it would be very annoying (due to previous reason and them eating each other back up) and possibly inefficient due to costs of releasing.

    Two perfectly balanced cultures is the trick. The highest dev province that isn't mine is Constantinople at 55, which appears as a dull orange in the development map mode, washed out by Japan's glorious green.

    With only a single province of dyes - which has 34.96 goods produced - I produce over half of the world's dyes.

    I have a couple provinces scattered around the world used for making tributaries (border connections), but many aren't centers of trade as I hadn't originally intended on keeping them. Yet with 1887 light ships, I dominated global trade from my island. Nippon itself has double the value of the next highest node (English Channel) and funnily enough 449/542 of the trade value in Nippon is produced locally.

    Guide: How to create the strongest Crusader State in 20 (or less) years!

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 11:27 AM PST

    Hey all! With the help of a great EU4 streamer I have come across a cursed/potentially busted 1444 start strategy (and hopefully one that is not super well known already!) and figured I would give you all a quick walk through in case anyone is interested in trying it out! A quick disclaimer, the screen shots I took were in a single player game without Ironman so I could quickly compile screen shots to walk you guys through the process. But I can confirm this is 100% Ironman capable, and doable within 20 years game time.

    How to turn The Mamluks into the strongest Crusader State known to man

    So this idea was passed on me from a Twitch streamer who goes by dum_idiet with the goal of giving The Mamluks a better and more robust mission tree, since lets face it, their mission tree is ass. Here's the break down.

    Step 1.) Vassalize Cyprus: Drop your guarantee on Cyprus and fabricate a claim, declare as soon as you can (might be worth the stab hit but I just waited the truce out in Ironman) end result should be vassalization (Note: you must vassalize them from the sue for peace screen, Cyprus CANNOT be released as a vassal since the nations primary (Francien) culture is not the same as the culture on Cyprus (Greek)) Improve relations continuously and get them loyal enough to use subject interactions with them.

    Step 2.) Grant Cyprus the province Jaffa through subject interaction and then convert the province to Catholic: Converting a subjects province is possible as an overlord, you will convert to their state religion, so even if you're Sunni, you will convert the land to Catholic. Look for an Inquisitor to help the conversion process. Once converted seize the province back and leave it un-cored. Fire your inquisitor and begin converting again, it will be helpful to lower autonomy to have rebels fire faster. Keep converting until Catholic rebels spawn.

    Step 3.) Allow rebels to siege provinces: Drop maintenance on forts, put subjects on passive and park your army in Al Quds (reason to this to come later). This might take some time but be sure to check the Stab and Exp tab to accept rebel demands ASAP. Forcing your state religion to Catholic.

    Step 4a.) Core Jaffa and Take the decision: Finally core Jaffa and take the decision to form Jerusalem Giving you access to a few things, downright better national ideas and DEUS VULT! in the middle of the world of Islam with the added bonus of a robust mission tree that The Mamluks severely lack. From here, maybe a one faith WC? Getting DEUS VULT this early is a HUGE head start and free CB's on over 50% of the world.

    Now this isn't the ONLY route you can take, to circle back to step 3, if you leave an army stationed in Al Quds it will remain Sunni, which is import for taking the second branch of this cursed nation.

    Step 4b.) Grant Catholic provinces to subjects: until Sunni is once again the dominant faith (you can check the religion tab for this info, once religious unity dips below 50% you unlock the decision to make Sunni the state religion. Why swap back to Sunni? Because it allows you to take the Mamlukean Government reform so long as Al Quds stays Sunni! Unlocking power government interactions, no Stab loss when rulers die, and giving you a mission tree that will give you claims on most of the Mediterranean!

    So there you have it /r/EU4 I hope you guys enjoy the crusading, if you have any questions or suggestions drop them in the comments! I plan on trying a One Faith WC with this soon, so check me out on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/iamcogs!
