Apparently Harar Jugol is a city in Ethiopia that served as a major east-west/west-east trading hub for Europe-Africa-India land trade routes in the 16th century, so I guess that the Institution Spread monument there is supposed to represent the flow of knowledge along that route and the convergence of different cultures traders there. It was also a major hub for regional culture during that time, but would end up declining due to a combination of pressure from raiding tribes and a major famine.
"You have to ally Bahmanis to have a possibility of winning" Laith be like: Pathetic Also Mysore looks like a tiger that tries to eat Bengal, pretty fitting. 😄
Every single time I play vijayanagar, Bahmanis got truly a truly uncanny ability to replenish their losses during a war. Sure, I can outnumber them as far as standing army is concerned but they can genuinely field their army again and again 4 times over or something. It is a winnable war with a lot of maneuvering and stupidity on their part. But at least one of those times, I swear it was worse than fighting the ottomans in early game...
35:22 It one of my favorite regions too. I played as Gujurat converted to Zoroastrian and grew a bit. Then I realized I missed so much flavor. So I restarted the campain. And it was pretty fun.
The achievement “Abu Bakr II’s Ambition” is a fun one, a challenging start with the disaster that you start with as the Mali, but it also has its roots in a unique part of African history. BTW playing as an west African colonial nation is quite painful for Europe since you have ability to early deny them expansion to the East Indies and so
So for the ones who arent suicidal and want to fight bahmanis and vij on their own. You can ally bahmanis if you get them over 100 relations, at which point they are no longer hostile. Or you can ally orissa and gujarat, gobble up as man of your tiny neighbours and then attack. You have to hope they coordinate a bit though. India is full of releasables so influence isnt a bad pick, as vassals will give you more force limit
I had a great run recently going for the For Odin! achievement, as my return to the game after about a year. I started in the Moluccas, with a favourable Random New World. Managed to get Scotland as a subject after they had been reduced to a single province existing only in the New World, and that was my springboard into Europe to get the chiev by about 1750. Very satisfying.
Thanks for the reminder that i didn't have that achievement ! Vija wanted to ally not long after the start, forced them into a war agaisnt Bahamis, make him lose some land and ally every rival of Baha after, easy conquest after !
Done this easily several times. You need RNG on your side though. Ally Andhara every time, so you are not the obvious first target of Vijan. Take out the small nations around you and improve relations with Bahmains meanwhile. When you have taken out a few minors, make Vijan your rival, scornfully insult them and you should be able to make Bahmains your ally. From there the game is easy 🙂
I'm far from home at the Holiday right now trying to beat the original Metroid with only the Morph ball and 1 missile pack. This challenge is nearly as frustrat- fun as you playing a Fire Emblem game. Day 150, please play.
When it comes to EU4 warfare, I unfortunately see too many people failing to take advantage of building military and economic buildings and ideas to help deal with fighting wars, crushing rebellions, anti-corruption, and loan/debt payments.
Since Bahmanis are ruled by Persian cultured people, and they get a good mission called Persian Administration later on in their mission tree, whenever I play them I conquer Damman, flip Zoroastrian, and move into Persia to form Zoroastrian Persia
I think you should continue with Mysore and make it classic Laith "conquer everything" walkthrough. Timurids looks not so strong, and of course you need to strike first towards mortal enemy of every minor indian nation - Mamluks!
Achievement runs are very fun. I think you should do the Jihad one if you don't have it but you have to do it while nasheed plays in the background non stop!
*smiles menacingly* Do Norwegian Wood bro :) Fr tho no idea why the achievements requiring you to basically do a 90% of a World Conquest are even still a thing.
coul you do a play through as the pirate republic of salé? it is releasable from morocco through an event after a few years (i think granada needs to be annexed by castille and your privateers need 5% trade power in sevilla) cant find anything about it on this site

My brother in christ, you def could've allied Bahmanis by improving a bit but bring the madlad you are, you solo'd Vij 🤣 But please, for the love of your own sanity (and mine), always take the 3 mana estate privileges if you suffer with mana generation. Getting adm 5 would've def made rest of your run easier, which ig goes against your motto so w/e 😆 Edit: Bring back the face cam or there will be revolts!
Day 7 of asking (I do not remember if this was the seventh day, since I took a well deserved mutiple month break. I forgot that I even did this for the longest time. I think the last time I did this might have been the "Novgorod in the new world" video, but who knows. UA-cam should really add a way to view all your comments.)
He hired free company, which when it spawned was at 0 morale and had its army stats in front of the manpower army which was still at full. Fun fact: you can use this mechanic to 'hide' generals so that your opponent(only works on players) only sees the general-less army and has to hover over to see the other army that has a general.
Those video openings of his turn me off so much I live the video and only watch later after skipping the introduction. please stop giving spoilers in the beginning and calling it a introduction.
Just so you know, "Bahmanis" is the plural of "Bahmani." You pronounce the last syllable a bit off, like "niss" instead of "nees." This triggers my austrism.

That's my very first difficult achievement I've ever earned. That was years ago but I had so much fun with that playthrough :)
This was my second. My first was Rozwi Empire
Love the playthrough. Right now I am doing Mewat->Delhi->Hindustan.

Lowkey, Bahmanis had a bit of a pyrrhic victory in that VJ war if I'm being honest
Oh my, I never could’ve saw laith making an achievement run 😄
I f you want to go for more acheivments the ZOROAUSTRIAN one is pretty fun and also really rare
Definitely would love more achievement hunting videos for both EU4 and CK3.
one of my first truly difficult runs. Remember it fondly
I'm one of the 0.7%. This campaign broke me. I didn't touch EU4 for several years after.
That vijayanagar war was based as hell, that bahmanis war was fucking awful though

This is a really fun video, definitely do more achievement runs. Would’ve loved to see your face in future achievement runs!!!
Laith looking like he coming out of the 70s with the killer soundtrack. Big fan of it.

100% down for more achievement hunting videos
How about "For Odin" as an achievement run. Where you start as a Norse custom nation and conquer scandinavia and british isles and convert it to Norse
That was a wild start.
At the end Mysore looks like an eagle biting Bengal
You should play the padyanas, a like 5000 year dynasty on its last legsbin eu4
The random time traveler in Adal watching his alarm go off (It's time to tell people about america)
You should do all the "universal achievements" so that the achievements tab looks nice and clean every time you do an achievement
Laith, I think the Timeline (timelapse) button will ignore Terra Incognita if you want to show us the world real quick.

Oh yes, definitely do more achievement runs!
I’d love to see an African Power run, I just finished one and it was a shit tonne of fun, tho it does get a bit grindy at the end
