Of course I could also just exploit the development spam. Not sure how I'm going to get it - usually Cyprus gets it, then Mamluks get it from Cyprus (as they're friendly), so it might reach me within sensible time frame. I got a small gold mine from Kaffa, so that's something. What I'd really like is to just ally them until I get all East Africa, but that's unlikely to happen.Īdal, Ajuuran, and Hedjaz are now best buddies, and all rivalled me, but I could only rival Ajuuran back - at least I'm at 100 pp thanks to all the eclipsing. Mamluks have 34k troops to mine 14k (and even that was only ramping up to fight rebels). Warsangali (who suicided themselves into Adal in separate war while I was fighting them, and they're gone).Kaffa (but they rivalled me, so now they're gone).Like, seriously Paradox, rebel stack sizes are ridiculous pile of bullshit - and of course they had tech 4, way ahead of most of Africa - and better generals. All those lands up there were 1/1/1 high autonomy crap, but that gave me second Coptic holy sites - obviously first two blessings being coring cost discount, and missionary strenght.Īs soon as I got into war with Adal, taking advantage of temporary mil tech superiority, 13k and 14k rebel stacks popped up to mine 12k (my force limit is 18k, but I can't really get that many troops). It was important than neither would piss off Mamluks too much, due to different culture/religion.

Coptic Alodia stood on a way and rivaled me, so I dispatched them on the way, getting some delicious PP, then I went after Shia Makuria, which didn't even have feudalism somehow. Well, I start with one holy site, so first order of business was to go after second one. It all worked fine, as I ended up with 3/5/4 a few years later. The first order of business is that we have 6/5/6 righteous (+1 legitimacy) zealot (+1% missionary strength) with 1/2/1 heir, so straight for disinherit button. enjoy other new features like disinheritance, Great Power abuse etc.enjoy institutions, maybe even without actually using development spam exploit.enjoy Coptic mechanics (Fun and Balance Holy Site system turned off as they sort of duplicate each other).Institutional Ethiopia: Part 01: 1444-1454 Post 1 - Originally published on Google+ on 23:34:05 UTC
