Hard to believe it's legit since he got the achievement. That would mean his first wc is already the fastest ever.

Only one nation can take Western focus decision in a campaign. Has Poland / Ottomans already taken the decision?

He could just have stopped his previous runs when he saw he wasn't fast enough.

He could have but all the incredible runs I've seen till now have been from people who have done multiple wc's before.

There isn't a definite playstyle for multiplayer, I've seen so many different possibilities, considering surviving can be a goal, compared to soloplay where you play each game as a possible world conquest. But you have to give your all on diplomacy for sure, it can make any country in the game relevant.

Which country are you going to play?

Georgia but Ottomans player ended up having significant connection issues so was rather unfortunate :/

Also amuses me how many people want to switch countries after getting 100% warscored as large European majors

converted to Shia and spreading glorious aristocratic core cost cancer + culture converting the Azerbaijan area when I can

Yeah, it's quite usual to have people like that, at least after a few games you can count on a core number of good players that will play their countries until the end.

I agree for the most part about your converting and culture converting strategies, it's kind of a passive defence against Ottomans that will make him pay much more than he wants to if he was to attack you, but nothing if he doesn't. Anything that increase the cost of your provinces while decreasing their worth when in enemy's hands is good for a country of this size.

You can use those favors to increase trust and call them into offensive wars without promising anything. If you want AI to give you provinces you need to mark them as provinces of interest before accepting the cta.


So i just looked that up on the wiki: http://www.eu4wiki.com/File:Provinces_of_Interest.png
That tab is completely missing for me. Does that mean I can't tag provinces of interest without cossacks DLC? That's fucked up, it means that the AI will never give me any provinces?
Paradox just takes it to far with their DLC politics. Art of war and common sense already pretty much crippled players without the DLCs.

So how are you supposed to get the ball rolling with Hungary? I remember for a while that picking Janos as the regent would let you actually be able to play the game, that doesn't seem to be the case now though. And then you're still stuck with Ladislaus unless you get REALLY lucky. Just sucks cuz Hungary was one of my fav places to play in both EU3 and CK2. Although I probably shouldn't tunnel so hard on getting the Hunyadi's, but it's their only flavour ,

I think as Hungary you need to concentrate your forces at a single point and just go for the attack right out of the gate, a totally unexpected move. I think gambles are sometimes necessary for nations like Hungary. Get maybe some of the coastal towns and ports for good trading routes with other nations, just in my own opinion. I've never played the game though so take my words with a grain of saltpeter.

That's what makes it rough though, in a perfect world, you'd just kill Bosnia and Serbia, Austria usually likes you, so ez GP ally, and even Poland doesn't "always" hate you now. It's just, you're guaranteed a 10 year Regency right at the game start and that it's what's so terrible

Its hard. I did it on an older patch and it took multiple tries. In the beginning you can't do anything but pray that the Ottomans dont attack you right away.
As far as I can remember I just sat around for a couple of years and managed to ally poland with the help of a diplomatic advisor, a donation, taking loans and go way over the army limit (for less army strength negative reasons) etc... Basically had to pull everything possible out of my hat.
Back then, Hungary also used to get beaten up by Austria, Bohemia and Poland all the time. So when the opportunity came I also took a huge bite off of them.
Then eventually I was also able to ally Austria and some other guys and we beat the Ottomans.

But I don't think there's a special formula. Basically alot of random variables need to go your way.

Some nations just require a lot of restarts to get the right starting conditions. Try getting a Yaroslavl game going.

moldavia is the better start for dracula's and far more interesting imo

i'd consider no-cbing serbia if hungary gives access but even that will be a very dicey war since serbia + bosnia love each other now
