![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ghmf2AZ.jpg) You wasted a lot of admin points and time coring a lot of that land and getting a second vassal. Also once you conquer Haasa and Hejaz you will no longer get a coring reduction in Africa because Arabia isn't blocked off from your capital. You might still be able to do a WC though, what idea groups have you taken so far? | ||

I have trebizond blocking the mountains but dont get the reduced cost for it also taken humanist(obv) and quantity atm. ive came to notice the quality of your troops isnt the problem so id rather have more so i can chain war constantly tbh could i do that with Aq Qonyulu too? It doesnt have to be syria right, plus they are a lot easier to force vassal imo oh i didnt actually core most of that, i had AQ as a vassal blocking that off and diplo annexed them. i admit this is my first time doing this wall off thing ALSO, is there a way to block europe? would i need to vassal Wallachia and snake them around to block everything off? | ||

You can't get reduced coring cost in the Caucasus region because its considered part of Europe. Look in the region mapmode and only take the land south of the Europe-Asia border. In order to get that reduced cost in Europe you have to move your capital back to Asia. It has to be isolated in order to move it to another continent so you need to release nations (cant be vassals I think?) and then have it blocked off completely from the European region. Humanist + quantity works, especially if you cba to micromanage attrition, but offensive works better for a WC attempt because it will give you a policy that reduces unrest and separatism, not to mention the siege ability is a godsend. Also did you core Greece when you conquered Byzantium or did you give it to a vassal and diploannex? That can speed up your first national idea by a lot. | ||

I actually think thats the best play bc that shit is like 700 admin to core | ||

This is in 1545. Every country in India except Vijayanagar is 100% occupied, just waiting on OE. Asia stayed pretty much blob free except for Ming thankfully; in my last attempt all of Asia basically got swallowed by a Mewar-Bahmanis-Jaunpur-Oirat-Ming superblobcluster. The Commonwealth has a PU over France though RIP Europe. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/YCiPb4b.jpg) | ||

You can also leave QQ in Grane and whatever province is on the iranian side of hormuz as whatever nation they were so that you get arabia when you annex syria too. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0lHPYib.png) Sunni, of course. I actually don't know how people do this as Orthodox, it makes the early game so horrific. Our allies are Livonians (lol) and Hungary (20% cav combat tradition is so ridiculously good) | ||

Well, tax income importance also got buffed a fair bit in importance in recent patches so that's another knock on Orthodox, but being able to manually lower autonomy with max PA is pretty good. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/w0gKybR.png) this is a crazy good start, its pretty much a world domination in the bag. Muscovy, Poland, and Denmark all hate each other, and have fought two incredibly costly wars for fairly little gain Culture shifting to Ruthenian to get the easier free westernization is pretty stupid, but it beats invading the HRE for Wien/Prague. Also, new feature where you can call in protectorates to overseas wars is really powerful. Use your protectorates to help you protectorate bigger countries, and within a few wars you have 100k+ troops to fight your overseas wars. | ||
