First was as England and I made it to the 18th century with huge colonies but they all rebelled and I fractured to pieces and quit in frustration. Second was as Ottomans and I completed the game stretching from Vienna to India. So my question is: is France fun to play or is it too similar to Ottomans? the concept is to drop autonomy, core the province, force a revolt, intentionally lose to rebels then reconquer them later. you end up reconquesting crap with 25% autonomy and zero separatism (you can immediately drop autonomy again too) | ||

I guess historically yes. so far ive had luck by immediatly raising autonomy in every province which butchers your income, but then vassalizing countries and kind of riding them to victory. only need 1 province for mughal formation though. | ||

Before Cossacks expansion it was pretty legit to do it with any horde right? Mughals idea set was pretty damn good as well last time I checked. Rip minghals :< | ||

Rip minghals :< they have as much tolerance as the ottomans i think. plus i believe muslim tech with indian units which is legit, the main thing that kills the timurids imo is the terrain, its pure retarded everything is mountains. half my game has been guessing where rebel stacks will pop up so i can get the terrain advantage over them ![[image loading]](http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/351645757475809513/F3D987A9A5D12999F730670C4010129FEA911173/) managed to form around 1480, raised autonomy in every province and just blitzed india. since you dont get persian events as the mughals i think thats better imo. also better than releasing persia and having it shit on you. figured id conquer hordes till i catch up in tech since indian tech was cheaper long enough to make fights real difficult -_- | ||

I have two gold mines, Mexico and Peru, and a bunch of loans still from running higher level advisors as soon as I could. My inflation is around 50%. I have the major colonial trade nodes controlled, so during peace, my economy is functional with the lump sums the gold mines provide.

119 income, 77 expenses, this is with army maintenance at a minimum and forts emptied. Year is 1637, I have the Caribbeans, Mexico, African nodes, and Southeast Asian nodes controlled. Just finished a war with Aragon and got Veneza out of it, made them release Catalonia. I have most of what was Castille, they no longer exist. | ||

I have a 6/4/3 ruler so thinking of just staying put for the next 50 years or however long to use all my admin points. you shouldnt have took that many loans i dont think. ive never not managed not rushing lvl 3 advisors, i dont like taking out loans period, unless its 1-2 at max to get through a hard time. | ||

after that idk, i dont know if hoping hungary doesnt take a von habsburg is reliable enough, cause even poland + like bohemia + you/vassal cant hope to beat austro-hungary now the ottomans warn me every game, how many allies do you need to beat the kebabs? -_- | ||

Also is it worth always keeping your stability at 3? | ||

Spending the extra admin to increase stability to 3 is wasteful. At the start of the game I usually stay at 0 stab to save admin and hope for an event to get me +1 and later on I only go to +1 by spending admin. Catholic nations who convert a lot of land can easily stay at +3 stab all the time because of papal influence. If you're playing a republic it can be worth it to increase stability to +3 with adm points while close to 100 tradition, because it's significantly more expensive at low tradition to even increase to +1; you won't want to buy stab for a while when you start re-electing leaders. | ||
