Just finished a war with Ming and got them down to 0 Manpower and took Canton and some other shit.

I'm not really interested in China but the countries that I am interested in (Nogai, Yarkand, Chagatai and Buryatai) are all protected by China so it's going to be back-to-back wars and although I don't want China, I'm going to take it all non stop while they're at 0 manpower.

Is there any way I can get them to stop being retarded and remove these tributaries? The alternative is that their country will be annihilated.

If you have Rights of Man then you can disinherit his ass for a penalty, but it's worth it to get rid of a 0/0/0 heir. Or alternatively make him into a military leader and just fight natives and everyone, pray he dies in combat.

Prestige is at a premium at the start of a Spain game. You need it for that first war against the Moroccans.

>>183314319

Can't you disinherit after the war is over, then?

I haven't actually played a Castille game, but what makes the prestige hit so painful?

I think you need to give up 50 prestige to disinherit. For that first war with Morocco (if that's what you're going for) you need every battle to go perfectly in terrain that usually doesn't favour you. You're probably also going to be racing against the Portuguese to occupy stuff. The first 50 years with Trastamaras is rough but it picks up fast as soon as Bestburgs get on the throne.

Not even counting in possible Burgundian inheritance, Iberian Wedding or Portugal PU - once you're past Trastamaras it's easy.

iirc your first heir is the 0 guy you could disinherit him after the first war but that depends on who Granada is allied to.

>>183315745

At that point it's just what's more important to you, the bonuses from prestige or much more Mana from a new heir that isn't literal shit.

Even with the 0/0/0 I was up to date on military tech (the only thing worth bothering about that early) and maybe one idea or so behind France. Compared to a potential defeat or stack wipe in the Atlas Mountains (or even worse, losing ground to Portugal) I view the Prestige as more important.

1) Increasing mil/con for having non-state religion in non-colonial (with modifiers based on current religious policy and state relgion)
2) Decreasing con for having state religion and moralist party.
3) Events for pogroms and religious violence in states with non-homogeneous religion (which the player can suppress or give tacit accord)
4) Party relgious policy should have impact beyond pops voting and chance of conversion: Moralism should increase education efficiency in countries with low literacy, but lower adm eff.
Secularism should give adm. eff.
Atheism should increase education efficiency in countries with high literacy after the darwinism invention
5) More interaction with missionaries to uncivilized countries.

Pretty much. You have a decision to get your cores directly owned by the British, IIRC the requirements are:

>neighbouring province has 7 or more average militancy

You'll go from 300k to over 8m pops, which means you'll jump to 25k RPs once you get this decision. The UK will have a CB on you but all you have to do is westernize and they lose their CB.

Emir Egid Hasanwâyhid officially took power in June 1836 following the untimely death of his father, who had been gutted by a concubine. It was an open secret that Emir Ferhad had harbored dangerous thoughts about separating from the Persian Shah, so the message was clear to Egid – he would considerably more help and discretion in order to achieve his ambitions. With this in mind, his first act as Emir was first to attach his Kurdish warriors to the “Southern Army” in Tabriz as a show of loyalty to the Shah, and his second was to send an envoy to the unofficial Russian ambassadors in Transcaucasia in order to set up a relationship with the Tsar.

On October of 1838, the envoys in Transcaucasia finally sent home the news that the Emir was waiting for – the Tsar had approved very slight and discrete aid to Mukriyan. Mostly it was just a few crates of weapons smuggled periodically, but for now that was enough to secure the Emir’s vision of modernization. What’s more, the vital link to St. Petersburg had been made.
All the while, the Emir had been using his warrior’s attachment to the Southern Army in order to befriend the man in charge, Hajj Mirza. It was clear from the discontented cries of his inner circle at the thought of modernizing that a violent reaction was inevitable, and he was keen on gaining the support of the Shah’s armies when it came to that.

Late in the September of 1840 the Emir received two envoys bearing incredibly good news one after the other. Firstly, the Tsar had taken note of Mukriyan’s efforts as well as the opportunity to spread his influence that it represented and wished to initiate a proper relationship. Secondly, one of the greatest obstacles to Kurdish freedom – the Ottoman Empire – found itself embroiled in a war with its largest dependency. Regardless of the outcome, it was sure to weaken the Turkish giant to the west.

News from the Levant spoke of considerable Egyptian gains, so the Emir was in quite a good mood when receiving a delegation from a far off, relatively unimportant European nation. Speaking through a series of translators going from Swedish to Turkish to Persian to Kurdish, the man introduced himself as Sten Egnell and placed himself at the service of the Emir. The king of Sweden, he had explained, had recently developed an infatuation with the exotic Kurds and their culture and wished to set up a military mission to help “the noble Kurds in their quest for civilization”. After a short conversation with the Russian envoy – who was himself incredibly amused – the Emir lavishly welcomed the Europeans into his service.

In mid-1842 the Egyptians declared victory over the Ottomans despite the (completely nominal) aid of the British, something which emboldened the Kurdish people to open revolt. Badr Khan attempted to unite the various Kurdish emirates into a single struggle, and to do so he personally came to the court of Emir Edig. While he was welcomed lavishly, the Emir was clear that he had no interest in the uprising. “To do so,” one of his advisors later recalled, “would set the project of Kurdish independence back decades.” Badr Khan stormed out of the palace shortly after, with only an assurance that any Kurdish forces would be granted free passage through Mukriyan.

After a seven month campaign, the emirs that followed Badr Khan had been crushed by Persia and the Ottomans and what autonomy the Kurdish regions had held on to was revoked. In order to assure the Shah of Mukriyan’s continued loyalty to Persia, the Emir personally traveled to the royal court and prostrated himself before the Shah. After a mix of being admonished for the actions of his fellow Kurds, giving reassurances to the Shah, and being generally humiliated, the Shah affirmed his place as a loyal servant and dismissed him. Egid did not return to Mahabad particularly happy, but his rule had been secured for now.

The Emir’s first expansive reform started in early September of 1843. Having finally stocked up a large enough arsenal of Russian weapons and having secured the cooperation of a number of Swedish officers, he set out to train his now predominately Azeri forces in European warfare. The first resistance came as soon as he proclaimed the reform, with a particularly hot blooded general, Hawrê Gulan, famously leaping to his feet before the court and exclaiming that the Emir planned to give the fate of the Kurds over to the westerners and their corrupting influences. He was arrested on the spot, which quieted the numerous others who clearly agreed with him in the court. The Emir was well aware of the slowly moving crisis ahead of him and once again decided to visit his troops attached to the southern army. There he personally gained the support of General Mirza in the event of a coup in Mahabad.

August 1850 marked the first reactionary attempted coup in Mukriyan. A month before the Emir had begun laying out plans to expand and centralize state ownership of land in order to apply western advances in agriculture and mining. While local groups would be compensated, and in many cases the tribes that claimed the land had no legal right to it anyway, the backlash was considerable on all levels. A small group of generals sympathetic to the views of Hawrê Gulan organized tribal leaders and attempted to storm the palace. Luckily the personal retinue of the Emir was able to turn the assault into a siege, and shortly after General Mirza made good on his promise and crushed the tribal forces.

>>183334526

The period between 1850 and 1855 were exhausting for Emir Egid, as he had to constantly balance keeping his discontented court from boiling into yet another coup while at the same time pushing forward his reforms. The Swedish military officers were quite effective at their work, especially after Swedish-Kurdish translators had been trained, drastically cutting down the number of times an order was scrambled before the troops could understand it; however, their presence annoyed both the nobles who traditionally enjoyed the positions that the Swedes now took up as well as the more faithful Muslims in the court who looked down upon worshipers of Christ being provided such hospitality. Finally in mid-1855 some good news reached the Emir – it was now estimated that one in ten of his subjects were effectively literate, vindicating the resources and time he had put into supporting teachers, intellectuals, and service-focused Imams.

September 6, 1857 was a momentous day for the Emir’s ambitions of independence, as an official Russian delegation and military mission made an ostentatious entrance into Mahabad. Within a day the Emir announced a decree alongside the Russian representative giving Russia prefatory rights to Mukriyani markets as well as allowing free movement of Russian troops in the region. The Russian delegation was at first quite annoyed at the presence of Swedish military officers, but soon were pacified by the thought that the Swedes were happily doing their work for them, allowing the Russians to simply enjoy the luxury of the Emir’s court.

The Academy of Mahabad was finally opened in September of 1858. Having been a project a decade in the making, the Emir had managed to construct the initial campus, source several (mostly Swedish and Russian) foreign intellectuals to staff it, and procure a small fortune in western literature for the Egid Library – the largest building on the grounds. When his intention for it to be a center of learning in the style of western universities focused largely on adapting European advances was announced to the court, a handful of generals sympathetic to Hawrê Gulan immediately left the court. In the following months the university gradually filled up, despite a boycott on the behalf of many powerful nobles and tribal leaders, as less significant families saw the opportunity to ingratiate themselves to the Emir. In a speech to the opening class of the university, the Emir declared the institution a vital step in the future of their nation, but declined to say which nation that was precisely.

After months of hosting a small group of Russian industrialists, the Emir was finally able to get them to commit to investing in a textile factory in Khvoy, only a handful of miles from the Russian border. The Emir himself would keep 51 shares of the company at all times, and the Russians would split the rest between themselves. His hope was that the fine cotton grown in the province would result in a profitable venture which would set the stage for greater industrialization of Mukriyan. The local tribes were still incensed at the land centralization efforts of the previous decade (with factory being built upon land they previously farmed), and the construction only served to fan their discontent.

The remaining Swedish officers in Mahabad had grown quite close to the Emir over the twenty years that they had been there, and it was not rare at all for them to share meals with him to the dismay of the Court Imam. An advisor to the Emir later wrote that one of their wives was vocally critical of the tradition of slavery in Persia and ceaselessly implored the Emir to consider whether Allah would have truly wanted men to enslave one another. In 1863 the idea of emancipation began to gain some traction among the more western-minded of the court, and certainly the graduates of the Academy of Mahabad who were slowly filling the emirate’s administration agreed. In the words of his advisor, “In part ceasing an opportunity to do right in the name of Allah, and in part to escape Anna’s incessant pleas, the Emir officially abolished the trade of slaves in his domain.”

They way to get the most out of a world in eu4, is to have your capitol in europe(or non colonial region australia), so you can have all trade companies, and colonial subjects.
Then have several colonial subjects spawn out of australia.
First you create one, you snake it into asian mainland, and let it get as many areas it can make into states.
Then you annex another country that creates a colonial subject there, and you snake that colonial subject into eurasia/africa.


Since you get more out of tariffs than you can get out of territorial cores.

Youre going to want a strong gp ally to fuck up the euros in africa right now. Influence portugal and spain when youre a gp then take their colonies when nobody can intervene. You need to get french territories asap and focus on getting colonial points otherwise you could lose out on early competition in places like djibouti. I'd say take as much of the french colonies as possible. Focus on nigeria for unciv blobbing to get massive poos for an army. You're euro pops are too small to stand up to a real gp otherwise. Britain can easily be beaten as can the netherlands but focus on them when they get tied up in china or india.

That doesn't make sense. Qing are Manchu, yes? So why would they retreat to an island full of people that hate Manchu instead of to Manchuria which is bigger, full of their own and richer in resources?

Finally in 1866 the Emir’s wide-reaching reforms had brought Mukriyan into the civilized world. With the official opening of the Kurdish Rail Company – funded in part by a mix of Swedish and Russian investors – few could deny that the emirate had developed to a European standard, even if it was still thirty years behind. The administration of the state was filled with graduates of the Academy of Mahabad, a second university was on its way to being opened in Khvoy, and even nobles who had opposed westernization were realizing that there was no returning to the way things were. A few days after the opening, however, an envoy from the Shah arrived at the court summoning the Emir to Tehran. It was clear that a confrontation was inevitable, and Egid immediately sent for the Russian representative. The defining moment of the Kurdish people was nigh.

>>183342953
For now, just independence and Kurdistan's cores. I might take slightly more, but if so only places with a Kurdish, Armenian, or Assyrian minority.

>>183344239
Qing aren't Manchu. They pretended to be Manchu but got assimilated pretty well into the Chinese imperial system.

No, the elite were ethnically Manchu but the administration was sinicized to the point that running away to Manchuria where there were no Han institutions to rely on would have caused a complete collapse of the court.

The Shah’s messenger was sent back with a formal declaration of independence. A meeting with the Russian representative soon developed into the Shah hurriedly taking the rail north into Transcaucasia, to personally secure the help of the governor. After much discussion, the Emir managed to convince the governor that Russian interests would be endangered if he didn’t act, and Egid rushed back to Mahabad with the 5th Army behind him. Barely a day later the Southern Army, now headed by Abdolazim Farhani, marched on Mahabad. Abdolazim had expected a few thousand fortified tribemen and got twenty-seven thousand Russians and fifteen thousand Kurdish soldiers. A few brief moments of tension fell over the field, but Abdolazim had the sense to send an envoy. With the Russians as mediators (and implicit enforcers), the emirate of Mukriyan was granted independence with a nominal alliance linking the two states. The Emir declared August 22nd a day of feasting and celebration for the Kurdish and Azeri peoples. The Russian Empire officially extended an alliance to Mukriyan shortly after.

Fuck, I forgot I need Nationalism and Imperialism to form Kurdistan, so the Persia war will have to wait a bit.

Don't forget to take naval tefh and build ports in Africa or you won't be able to dund colonies. Also spend your unspent diplo points on improving relations with other colonisers so they'll be less inclined to rape you.

If you have to take somewhere take Zanzibar and Somalia, to cut the western powers off from East Africa and give you somewhere to build ports.

The years following independence were difficult ones for the Emir, and everyone in the administration. Mukriyan had mostly administered itself even as part of Persia, so much of the infrastructure was already in place. The problem then came from the feeling of uncertainty that now pervaded the entire population from the highest nobles to the recently freed slaves who largely worked as tenant farmers or in the few factories that had opened in the emirate. Many of the more rebellious elements had already been purged or pacified, but now that there was no longer a Persian army nearby to relieve Mahabad the rule of the Emir wasn’t so untouchable. In response the Emir announced a series of reforms to shape the path of the new Kurdish state. First he set the foundations of a state schooling system which would offer education to all of his subjects (especially increasing the opportunities of those in tribal areas which were at this point deeply distrustful of the Emir), and secondly he took the advice of a Russian advisor and allowed the nobility to vote for the government. Slowly the mood of uncertainty and discontent began to melt away into a feeling of hope for the Kurdish people.

Updated the Israel Minimod to the latest HPM and added 2 new locations. Both Cyrenaica and Angola had scientific expeditions and reports published by the Jewish Territorial Organization, which almost succeeded in establishing a Jewish state in Angola but got cucked by WW1.
