Coalitions really don't declare anymore, even when they definitely should. By the time they declare, they have such a huge amount of troops that most battles don't reach the threshold for giving actual warscore from battles. Best thing I found to do is to set up forts in a way that once the AI sieges the first fort it funnels into one spot and then to breach walls, rush that fort back and sit on it with the entire army for a month or two to make them scared of engaging and then win a huge battle by correctly reinforcing. Now you have a large chunk of enemies trapped between your forts and can beat them up for a while and then stackwipe them, that's enough to get ticking warscore. It's relatively easy to do by the way, let's take the AI sieging Anatolia here. What you do is you feed 1k stacks into the siege of Trebizond to give them progress and defend the southern forts, once Trebizond falls they will funnel into Ankara, now you need to manage to siege Trebizond and then beat their trapped armies. The same thing is doable everywhere, you just have to make it so that you choose which of your forts gets sieged. When playing in Greece/Anatolia you might also simply want to invest in a really good navy and leave a free path to the Aegean islands and turn them into a holiday resort for enemy armies where they can hang out until the war is over. Zlewikk is a great player for beating the coalition in fair combat, I just prefer not to fight fairly when outnumbered.
Thanks! At one point I decided to do what you mentioned and killed roughly 400k troops this way in the balkans/greece. In this case that strategy wouldnt be enough as they had such a huge amount of troops they could open multiple frontlines as once
congratulations on the achievement. i am awestruck as to how your armies were so godly and untouchable. please make a guide on how to make armies this godly. it cant be from professionalism because you were slackening recruits, it cant be from generals because the enemy also had 3 star generals, and it cant be from tech because you only had a slight advantage and your ruler had bad stats. it can't be from using terrain because a lot of the time you were the attacker, and it cant be just from the janissary units because later you had to use mercs. i must learn this god power

It's tricky wording, but it does say "be in a winning coalition war", not "be winning a coalition war". They should have worded it "be losing a coalition war". Don't feel bad, even the translators got confused: the French description unambiguously says to be winning...
You should try the achievment Veritas Vincit (the one where Hussite is the official religion of HRE and you're the emperor as Bohemia). It was so frustrating for me to do this one, and couldn't find any guides. I finally managed to do it the on the 2nd run, but still it is not clear to me in what are the exact conditions on how to make it the official religion. The descriptions are very misleading. Anyway I noticed that the new protestant emperor is a OPM, and then he chooses that option, but I feel like it is very RNG. After it become the official religion, I just waited for the emperor to name new electors, and then I eliminated all eligle canditates until they had no choice but me (mind you I had like -400 opinion :), because Austria demands lands when you conquer inside the empire) Anyway in case you try it prepare for the worst (maybe a few rr), and good luck.
Hello Zlewikk. Could you try "Eat your greens" I started to try it when domination was released and I still cant perform it. Even ttm was easier than that so I want to see how you do it. Thank you
@ZlewikkTV Oh thank you, I checked it. You cant reform siam anymore but I understand that instead of trying to only get grasslands I just have to be a normal horse person.
I did "This is fine" as England. It was very easy as I could get the AE on the Irish minors, delete my armies to make the coalition declare war on me and keep everyone out with my fleet.
I did This Is Fine when it was easy and not bugged. Play England, take the British Isles and get everyone in a coalition. Defend with navy and wipe armies trying to land.
@@ZlewikkTV Here's how I did it: got into a coalition war, got to 31%, lowered stab, got -10 unrest. Didn't trigger. Got to 40% then 50% WS, didn't trigger, got 25% for war goal, still noting. Deleted my armies and let them get 30% with occupation and got it. 1.37
@@ZlewikkTVPerhaps the warscore condition is checked on January 1st? I got this achi by deleting armies and going afk, but it also didn't trigger at 30%, I had to wait for a few more months.
I was also very frustrated by fulfilling the requirements and not having the achievement. So I just let my country die and it worked. Honestly, this bug is here because I’m pretty sure they don’t test their game before releasing an update (hello defender of the faith).
I don’t play MP and I understand the MP meta is to reinforce gradually and not overstack. But in my experience this is not actually the best way to fight in SP. True, it is impressive that Zlewikk is almost able to win 50k vs 300k in a battle, but when you look at losses he is taking huge manpower losses. In SP when you are outnumbered like this it seems to me the strategy is to deathstack and go for stackwipes, fight every small isolated stack, wait for the war to drag on, and just generally avoid big battles. The AI has this behavior where if they see they are losing a battle badly, they will not reinforce, and you will be able to stackwipe. With the reinforcing battles strategy, the AI doesn’t think it’s too outnumbered so it will send everything into the battle. This is why in this sort of situation I would just deathstack, fight and wipe small stacks, try to scare big stacks off of forts before sieges finish, and wait for “length of war” to tick down
The thing is that you should do both: focus on catching small stacks while reinforcing correctly where possible and avoid at all cost big battles with a lot of troops. This war is just a very bad example for 'The AI has this behavior where if they see they are losing a battle badly' because they always had a few hundred thousand man around any battle (~1M in total) so even if I was using a 200k death stack, that would be much worse than reinforcing correcrly. It's because they would always have a feeling they have enough troops to reinforce (when I started losing on purpose that's how I started playing and was losing badly) while your reserves simply use way too much morale while being there and if you death stack, a big chunk of these will never (!!) get into battlefield as they will flee before their moment comes and even if they manage to get info battle, they morale will be so abysmall they will flee very fast I'll have to ask you to trust me on this one as I fought dozens (if not over a hundred) of coalition wars , especially for Saving Your Ruined campaign series :p there are just different types of coalition wars where different strategies will work. Over here we'd also have to add being sieged down in two/three frontlines at once so we couldn't just leave one frontline empty while deathstacking on another
