Try to crush them with military might, and when that inevitably fails because they don't fight by the regularly-accepted protocol, pay them 100$ to go away.

Empire of Pratihara circa 10th May 1211 AD (Political Map)
Religious map of the World

From the Jungles of Burma to the mountains of Iran, to the Gates of Jerusalem and to the Steps of the Apostolic Palace the banners of the Indian Empire fly high. I have broken up the Abbasid Caliphate after near two centuries of war and the support of the armies of China, i have marched into the heart of Roman Territory and humbled the western religions and stand at the precipice of a new series of campaigns against the great European Empires.

Image


Started in 867 AD, planning on playing all the way till the end to get the Persistent Survivor achievement (867-1453) and also try my hand at getting some of the lifestyle achievements, and if possible try and get the Empire of britannia from the Norse and get the achievement for the British Raj.

Also i need to kill the Hashashin because thye assassinated my last character and he was a fucking good one (mostly)

I will admit, this campaign got really easily after taking most of india because you make so much fucking money as an indian its silly.

40K tends to be more about the battles than the grand strategy though.

The only context you need is that the Steccashi government is made up of fools, frauds, charlatans, and cowards who thought my ally was easy pickings during a losing war. We, the Saeu, aka Militaristic Xenophile Space Shrimp, will liberate the Steccashi people soon.

I finally broke my promise to myself and bought Stellaris. I vowed not to get it because I wasn't entirely sure I was interested, but it was 75% off on Steam and I couldn't resist on getting it to perhaps play on a rainy day just like I've said about dozens of other games I have on steam.

Anyt ips for how to put Merchant Republics past the Suez in CK2? Thinking about trying something like that to exploit the Silk Road even better than usual. Unfortunately the only tribas/nomads in that area are Ibadi tribes south of the Abbasid, the Horse Lords north of Persia, and Bon pagans in Tibet. So, any ideas?
