As a owner of this achievment i can confirm, this is suffering. Good luck. Small tip: Dont let people convert provinves to sunni in the late game or they will have recently converted debuff. I failed that achievement once like that.
I had that exact same problem - thankfully it was just like 5 provinces. So I released/vassilized what few remaining nations that weren't ibadi as small nations, granted them land in horrible bordergore to give them each one of the sunni provinces, released their vassalage & trucebroke (Shoutout diplomatic ideas) so that their only province was their capital and was sunni, and then force converted them in another peace deal. I was convinced I couldn't do it because of like 2 provinces in the horn of africa that had been recently converted, but life found a way thanks to extremely low cost of boosting stability
I remember when I thought that “eliminating all other schools of Islam” just meant annexing all other Muslim tags… and my crushing disappointment when I realized I’d have to fight Spain and Russia over two random provinces that they hadn’t converted
Yea and for that reason don't use the trade mechanic to convert provinces of other nations. I did that in South East Asia and they converted it back and then it has the buff for 30 years, and you can't do anything about it.
@@3komma141592653 A war of humiliation against a great rival power, I think that is the worst, knowing that they are not going to surrender quickly is horrible, especially against the Ottomans or France.
I thought myself, not his best campaign. Shouldn't have let the Ottos grow so big. That will be so painful to chop them down. Well at least you don't need to conquer the Balkan from them.
if the french have overseas colonies, that's probably where their army is. idk why but colonial majors love keeping like 75% of their army overseas. its why spain usually ends up being a paper tiger even when they have like 150k troops.
Yeah and it's really annoying that you can fully occupy iberia and stil only have like 50% warscore against spain. I can't think of a great way to remedy this in gameplay but I hope they solve it in EUV
I'm surprised how seldom you actually build a spy network and then complain about sieges. Just because you have cannons doesn't mean you should ignore extra progress chance from spies.
perhaps you could do a run where you try to become the most powerful Italy you can (if you do this. play in 1.6.2 if you want to have more missions that help with this. you must start as Milan (in any higher update you play as Florence because forming Tuscany has a bug that makes you not get the missions of Florence). you must form two sicilies (they will give 50 government reform progress. 1 permanent tolerance of the true faith, and a few other useful things) and sardinia_piedmont (the admin efficiency with goods produced is good. but you can also get missionary strength and an additional bonus depending of the religion of the nation). and (if you didn't start as Florence) Tuscany (they have quite a few things that will make you more powerful and help your economy, they also give free monarch points and free stability) before you form Italy) the reforms are yours to decide and the same goes for government type
This achievement means a lot to Laith. Not because he's Ibadi himself, but because of his own Third Way theology; the synthesis of Sunni Islam and Scientology. His hair is full of thetans. That's why it's so big.
You should check out the new Anbennar update coming out this Friday! Play as the Taychendi ruinborn (those guys in that heavily populated part of not South America)
I don’t get why you didn’t give mamluks back their cores? I know you didn’t declare request CB, but when you give back core via peace deal, as mamluks have cores it’s hardly any AE and also costs like 2/3% from peace deal?
@@iquabakaner you do get the war score reduction, look on the peace deal screen. Also the AE reduction applies to any cores being returned, so gets the AE reduced regardless of CB
I got unreasonably upset by Laith manually converting instead of using the propgate religion trade thingy. Then he got blocked by dhimi autonomy, and I felt vindicated that he was forced to use it. Then he proceeded to not use it anyway and leave it unconverted. Absolute legend. Edit: Please use return core instead of taking stuff directly in a reconquest war, it uses your province cost modifiers (adm ef etc.) instead of your subject's.
I did the achievement with Oman, still fairly hard. You should not have let the Ottomans grow so big. I used them to fight the Mamelucks and never gave them anything. And I waited to take their provinces of interest at the last possible war, and they broke up the relations, but they couldn't grow this big.
Idea: as Cilli, do "Don't be Cilli," but by forming Hawai'i. No colonization (if possible, if not then colonization at Indonesia). Why? Because it's silly. :)
Why why WHY isn’t Lathe taking the Malta Forts GP for reduced religious warscore cost? He’s the only state of his religion, it’s like getting diplomacy ideas without the slot!
I love how Genoa, a trading nation, casually made roman quality army in one game where Laith decided to fight them.

I had the same thing happen to me, took like 20 attempts not including near instant restarts thise achievement is fucked.

I recon that for this achievement you must go insane with the malta and mecca monuments + diplo ideas for 60% province warscore cost
Yea and for that reason don't use the trade mechanic to convert provinces of other nations. I did that in South East Asia and they converted it back and then it has the buff for 30 years, and you can't do anything about it.
I think my favorite moment when Laith plays EU4 is when he forgets to look at the causus belli.
Happened to everyone of us at least once, even worse when you declare a trade war or something and you can't even take land. 😅

Laith pulling out the calculator to fix Frances national debt was not what I expected from this video.
Laith is simultaneously very good at EU4, and really bad at EU4. Frankly it's impressive

4:52 Well, at least you didn't pick humiliation :P Cause that would be... humiliating.
Laith why did you shoot that ceo in new york
That's Luigi, not Laith, easy mistake though! It's why Laith has grown out his hair.
Like all gamers he as an alibi, since he never left the basement of his moms house for weeks.
also did u see some burning bins in new york? that our boys signiture move
not as much suffering as your hairline (love your vids btw Laith )
HER HAIRLINE IS DIVINE DON'T YOU DARE

Building a spy network into a puppet means if they release the puppet last second all progress is void. Maybe thats why, it happened to me.

classic henry glennon hair comment
France be like "I'm a lover not a fighter"

"Hold up! The French....! Are running away"
Most authentic French AI gameplay.

You don't get the warscore cost and the AE bonus if you don't use the reconquest CB.
@@LordGoopington had no need for it

Loving a longer series. Looking forward to see how it goes from here
I know everyone loves joking about the hair getting longer, but it does genuinely look fantastic!

101k French troops arriving like the Rohirim did for Gondor 😂
29:39 Laith talking to himself in the mirror
You look like the UHC CEO shooter (love you tho)
Love the videos man, keep up the good work :D
Famous words from british longbowmen : 7:25
This campaign is so fun... to watch
It's always nice to see Lithuania doing its own thing rather than getting sucked into poland

yes convert save to vic 3 and play the save
New video Idea: Revive Ba‘athism IRL, Ironmode achievments on
"sure"
*hits decline*
It seems Shia is almost wiped out
Forcemarches like 100000 men across the entire North African coast rather than build a navy.
Commenting for my boy 🎉❤ also pls give us part 5
Based on this, Third Way by Oman seems a better option.
Or Pate, culture shift to form Somalia
I was considering trying this myself after the first vid, maybe not now
anexing the african vasals and going southeast
IBADI MUST PREVAIL
Idea: as Cilli, do "Don't be Cilli," but by forming Hawai'i. No colonization (if possible, if not then colonization at Indonesia). Why? Because it's silly. :)
Gotta love that achievement 🙃
It's a lot easier and probably more fun to do it as Oman and culture shift into Persia or Mughals.
you should go through all the imperator achievements
Candar tall gameplay in Anatolia + colonies and satellite states when ⁉️
If you have the economy just use full back line cannon stack only. Much less micro
I am enjoying this series
Why why WHY isn’t Lathe taking the Malta Forts GP for reduced religious warscore cost? He’s the only state of his religion, it’s like getting diplomacy ideas without the slot!
I'll be honest didn't think you'd pull it off but it looks like you're past the hardest part
mega campaign next?
You better take Oman next video.
Why did you build no gallies in the Mediterranean
mamlukes keep causing problems because they are mad you didn't do reconquest /s
Maybe you should do something more chill after this, like surfing. Surfing USA.
Malta monument
14:09 nooooooo don't kill yaoi pleaaaaaaseeeeee
As which nation did Laith start?
Mzab.
mzab
Convert save to vic 3 do it now even if no one else watches it I will buy 50k bots
give us more pls
