The Bharat formable is just a couple of wars away. Honestly this was pretty fun.

my latest portugal campaign was boring as fuck. i got locked out of the main part of my mission tree because i didn't have the money to build more ships, so i was mostly just colonising the shit out of brazil until i had 100 ducats monthly income and then invaded congo out of pure boredom.

and after i've finally managed to progress through the missions i immediately got declared on by castile and the run was over. kind of getting bored of this game already

Decided to play in South East Asia again mostly because of the one particular casus belli that is only exclusive to Majapahit. It went pretty well. The amount of money you can make here are genuinely absurd sometimes. After a grueling war with Ming, I've managed to take the Mandate from them. Now that Shun have spawned, all I need to do is just wait, the explosion is just a couple of months away.

Oh mama look at that, a giant ass Russia that gains 6k manpower a month that's ready to declare war on me whenever my manpower reserves drop to double digits, and one that also allies every countries that I wanted to turn into tributaries in India, this is fucking incredible.

I wouldn't mind scenarios like these if the AI aren't such a dick to fight against. (Like holy shit, they would rather just go around Siberia to siege Chongqing rather than defending their own fucking capital)

It's the opposite for me, if anything I almost never see the Tatar hordes surviving after the Age of Discovery. Russia would always formed, and then after that, either the Ottomans become their boogeyman or the PLC conquers them. This is one of the few times I see the AI pulling off something like this.

After a 'clever' move by the AI declaring war on one of my tributaries (and me forcing them to break their alliances with Russia) and some truce breaking, I've finally manged to bring all of India to be my tributaries, although it would probably not going to last long. But in the meantime, I get to enjoy +0.88 mandate per month. I'm going to declare war on Russia next, but I think this a little bit too much? Practically, I won the game at this point, but maybe pushing this into Europe could be... interesting?

World conquest now

World conquest now

Probably not, last time I did massive conquests was the last Horde Mongolia -> Russia -> Roman Empire run and it was incredibly tedious and boring in the late game that I genuinely fall asleep and feel tired, and that's rare for me while playing a video game. Making Russia and England tributaries is more funny to me anyway.
