In this video titled EU4 1.31 Bengal Guide - The Richest Nation in India? I make an EU4 Guide for Bengal for Europa Universalis 4 1.31 Leviathan. With EU4 1.31 Leviathan releasing the meta and the starting moves for many nations on the map has changed, so of course new and up to date guides are needed. This EU4 Bengal starting moves guide or EU4 Bengal starting moves tutorial will ensure that you get a great start for yourself playing as the Indian nation of Bengal. This guide covers the opening moves, diplomacy, estates, alliances, subjects, missions, national ideas and more! Bengal is one of the best nations for uniting India, having a massive trade empire that is extremely wealthy, having a massive army, navy, forming Delhi, forming Hindustan and even forming Nepal! After watching this EU4 Bengal guide you will ensure a great start for yourself, and you will have an easy and fun campaign. Bengal has one unique achievement and it's called Bengal Tiger.

Do Venice
Other Indian nations? They’re all very underrated!
Do Delhi
Might I suggest Granada into Andalusia?
Kongo has a new mission tree can’t wait until you get to the K nations in your A-Z series.
Really enjoy a Bengal game. The country has a good mission tree, good ideas, and is the most powerful in its local group with easy expansion to the east and south. Gotta watch out for the vassal swarm of Orissa but its a really solid nation to play and can be a bundle of fun depending on what you want to do.
Well said!
Orissa is generally my first target lol, hire a merc stack(or two) and full annex them and you fully inherit their vassals. Incredible economy plus great land to play tall as well as play wide makes Bengal kinda incredible. But I'm probably biased because I'm Bengali 💀
I would like option to form Bangladesh.
I just like their flags.
@@whoisjoe5610 I thought you were from Georgia!
My life was a lie!
I need rethink everything now!
@@whoisjoe5610 This is exactly the right strategy for dealing with them. It's kind of like the Ottos, if you can hit them in the early game you can make it easier to deal with them before they get too big. Same can be said for Jaunpur, especially. its the biggest rival in the area. Greetings to you from Florida my Bengali friend
Ah Bengal, the nation that's always such a pain to fight.
Every now and then you play a nation I remember from some of my favorite old playthroughs. Then I realize things like estates or missions are new since then and I want to do it all again.
Go for it!
@@TheRedHawk I think Bengal was my first game learning about Estates and how they worked, and trying to figure out how to assign land and stuff. This game has changed so much over time.
Bengal do be my fav Indian nation to play
One of mine as well!
Thanks for playing my Homeland
As a Bengali, I loved it! I loved it even more because it's from you and people rarely care about Bengal. 😍
I appreciate the support!
Have you ever seen a Bengal tiger irl? Bengal has one of the best flags in the game imo. The starting position looks really interesting too
@@Chironex_Fleckeri I have. But the Bengal Tiger here refers to Sher Shah Suri, not a Bengal Tiger. Although Sher Shah ruled for just 5 years, he is considered one of the greatest rulers of India in history. 😁
@@Chironex_Fleckeri the flag ingame was not used for the sultanate but actually for the mughal bengal subah because the bengal sultanate has an extremely similar flag to austria
One of the most fun nations in the game. Incredible trade opportunities, plenty to do - that mission tree is old yet still excellent. Perfect country for intermediate playes ready for a game outside Europe. Another solid guide!
The hell des age have to do with missions?!? Ffs people keep repeating old missions when at least old missions are better than no missions. I mean countries like brandenburg have no been changed since they got their custom mission tree years ago yet nobody whines about them being “old missions”
@@nekogaming5300 because older missions tend to be weaker because of power creep, still better than no missions but it's noticeable.
Emperor and Levithan both added massive power creep in their missions with permaclaims and vassal/pu CBs on half the world.
@@habibihabibi7115 yes alot of mission trees are worse or better but thats for an extremely good reason…countries like saxony or latvia or hell even ming SHOULDN’T HAVE A STRONG TREE
@@habibihabibi7115 countries in the hre did however as many of them actually accomplished shit, extremely few did that in EUROPE, in africa unless you count the Mediterranean african nations or morocco then there are next to no real nations outside of songhai,ethiopia and mali at this point. In asia there were much much more actual nations so obviously they got buffed and unless you extend the game by about 50 years then there are not even many real north american nations. Tribe’s such s the cherokee did jack shit their entire history and migrated but that doesn’t mean they actually did anything with the territory, they didn’t have a functioning government or even a formable army until the colonists whereas nations such as the apache and comanche SHOULD have a mission tree as both have had an undeniable place in history even during that period. people like to pretend like every nation in the world did something that deserves a mission tree but the idea of that is beyond laughable. The game is called europa universalis as this was the golden age of european nations…not the african nations that stayed a millenium in the past and rarely formed actual governments that helped the people…yeah sorry to tell you but most nations didn’t do anything anywhere near signifigant and most if not all mission trees at this point make as much sense as they need to
@@nekogaming5300 Its a game dude. Not a history lesson. The real question to ask with mission trees is if they are fun or not.
I played as Bengal and I was able to be the strongest power in no time at all. I also got Nepal as a march so it was super easy to dominate Asia.
did a bengal game where i got 3/5 of india by 1488 (more than 600 dev) more than 42 ducats income and 50k troops
Being a Bengali myself good to see someone playing as Bengal
Definitely the best for tall gameplay 😎
My first comment from Zlewikk? Mom I made it :')
@@TheRedHawk
nice guide! Bengal is my favorite nation and I usually attack Orissa on day 1 and full annex them, which gets me all his vassals as well. Out of 18 games I played with Bengal (single and multiplayer), Arakan allied Ayuthaya every single time, so I dont think theres a high likelihood for these 2 to not ally at the start.
Also, Bengal can easily form Nepal (finish the mission tree first tho). Also, if you want to flip Hindu, finish the one mission that has a piety requirement because that requirement doesnt change and it becomes impossible for you to achieve and you wont get some pretty nice bonuses.
Bro i deeply respect the amount of content you are uploading. Rarely see this level on continuity on Yt!
Thank you I appreciate the support!
Great guide as always, I watched your guides since I started playing, at this point I don't even need a guide for most of the nation, but I wanted to see the Hospitaller next
Ah, hello fellow Habsburg!
LOL Your profile picture xD
@@Luis_Manuel_Suarez ?
When are we going to form Roman Empire with the nation of Prome? Imo this should be an achievement
How about I do that on A to Z?
@@TheRedHawk It would be amazing!!!
@@TheRedHawk Join the HRE as Prome
When is the "For the first age ability, you should take justified wars" mix coming?
After the strenghten noble priviledges mix
@@TheRedHawk Of course! 😂
Unless you can steal Norway. Then do that instead.
Dang, your uploads are literally perfect, love these vids! Keep it up! :)
Thanks I appreciate the kind words!
I'm from Bangladesh and this is my favourite on this side of asia
Thank you
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy the video!
@@TheRedHawk your pronunciation of Chittagong is really good
@@talhazubayurulislam9599 yeah but he says koch like coh
Watching these videos a year later is interesting to see whats different from later updates
Isa Khan in the thumbnail, you already know it gonna be good
For those who don't know after the Bengal Sultanate was defeated by Akbar, Isa Khan led a network of Bhuiyans (local chiefs in Bengal and Assam) into an insurgency against the Mughals for over 20 years, it was only after he finally died that the Mughals finished their process of annexing Bengal.
Bengal is very powerful! I recently had a run where I completed Bengal mission tree, then formed Delhi, then completed their mission tree, formed Hindustan and completed their mission tree as well! It was a great experience, Indian region is one of the most interesting to play in.
I literally died when he called koch , 'kok'.
love your vids dude have a nice day
I appreciate the support! Have a nice day as well!
I always wanted a Bengal guide! Thank you! Time to return to India.
Go for it!
Started my bengal game with an estate mission to take 1 of 5 Provences from jaunpur getting claims on them all. It was a Good start
I was reading earlier about mysore sultan resistance of British colonialism so i decided to look this nation on eu4 and it has op ideas an overlooked gem
Good video. There is an important aspect of Bengal stacking Taxation increase from Ideas that operate on a percentile. This makes Mosques particularly relevant as an initial base economic structure that yields considerable wealth without competition.
বেশ ভালো লাগলো তোমার গাইডটি দেখে
Another great starting move as Bengal is declaring war on Orissa on the 11th to full annex them and take all of their subjects
Great guide, Red! Always enjoy playing as Bengal. How do you feel about converting Bengal, as to exploit the nearby GPs?
Vijay is richer, but Bengal gets rich faster i guess? Its like Netherlands vs France. France is Richer but netherlands dominates until 1630.
I love your guides I used them to play as vijayanager and now I have a global empire a booming economy and a army of 100k men I earn 70 ducats per month
Please make a QQ guide. They're a very interesting nation and have a kind of difficult start with the rebel situation
something I'd like to see if its not too hard is what the end goal looks like at the end of ur game but that may be much
I thought you finally made it to B, my condolences
Lmao, soon… soon…
Could you do a Orissa guide??
Third time you release guide the day after I play nation XD
The 10:10 comment that "there's no point in collecting in your home trade node" feels wildly incorrect. Collecting in your home node gives a 10% trade efficiency bonus. Past the first few merchants, the additional trade value you'll pull in to your network by steering 2 or 3 nodes upstream in a node you don't have much control in is probably not going to result in anywhere near as much income as an additional 10% of your main node value.
Oh hell ya Im near the end of a Begal run right now where I wanted to control every province on the Pacific. Second goal control Ohio and found the city "Bengal Cincinnati"
Tall bengal is fun. High valued farmlands for days.
Nice guide as usually, buuuuut would you consider making one for Granada?
I will!
@@TheRedHawk Very cool, I can't wait! Thanks 😊
"If you're not that confident in your abilities..." man I felt that
Lmao
I thought about doing a border core coastal Zoroastrian Gujarat, do they have a mission tree and can Zoroastrianism use the Deus Vult CB?
You were pretty close to Bengal in a-z
Yeah I’ll get to it in a couple of months
@@TheRedHawk still great content tho, I always enjoy your videos
Can you do the hre vassal strat for A 2 Z Burgundie?
In my Bengal game I went for complete supremacy of the Rajputs. I gave them all my land I could spare and made the super buff
Stab up! for prosperity!
I just played one game with bengal to do the bengal tiger achievement and fml it is broken, great trade node, great expansion routes, close to many monuments, many weak nations to vassalize and some mid-size to bully and expand into. Just broken.
The way you pronounce Jains is extremely funny to me, great guide!
I prefer to full annex Orissa at the start, and steal their subjects... got some trouble going eastward , they were allied to some big allies , then Ming rivalled me... bad move for them , but the first war was .. intense
Take a shot every time he says of course
Where are you from? My guesses are Turkey because of your accent, or maybe India because of the unusual way you pronounced Koch lol. I think you mentioned before that you enjoyed playing in India too.
You should do a guide on one of the Japanese daiymo
I have one for Oda!
Bengal is also an amazing Tall playing nation... but forming Hindustan also allows this.
It definitely is good, but it's much better for blobbing
Do you recommend trade companying the burma region considering how much govcap is needed to own India?
Yeah you definitely could
I'd like to see a guide to Korea.
Will do!
Laughs from Calcutta, Bengal.

nice
There's a technique where you can defeat Orissa easily. I got it from ludis video. At 1444 at like the 23rd of December, station your troops at Nadia, the province before the border province of Orissa. Then move your troops to the border province. By Jan 1st 1445, declare your reconquest and rush for the mothballed fort. You have already won the war. I'm not sure of the exact details but you can go watch his video.
Control over monetary policy?? I think it only have use in cases when you take a lot of loans for tough wars.
most of the video u say u can do this u can do that i want to see u doing this or that.
You should do custom nation guides on what is the best ideas, locations and features of the nation; and to add to it, the best ways to complete the custom nation achievements
The Bengal tiger achievement has to be the easiest Indian achievement besides the two families, because once the ball gets rolling you don't care about ae.
Could swapping Buddhist be worth it as Bengal with all them amazing monuments for that religion in the region?
Yes.. Bengal even after mughal rule has few buddhist sites! I belong from this side.. Bengali Buddhist!
I really disagree with the control over monetary policy. +5% all power cost is huge. +5% tech and idea cost, dev cost, leader cost and literally everything else but just the +5% dev and tech cost is enough for me to pass
Also important to note, when playing indian muslim nations, very good to give "primacy"+ 1 mil mana perk to the rajputs/secondary estate instead, so you have 1 more slot for good privileges of the nobles/amirs/mansabdars, like x in officer corps (cheaper generals and lower decay of tradition), strong duchies (+2 relations, -10% liberty desire), maybe even the +100 gov cap land privilege if gov cap is hurting.
What about an England Guide next time?
I’ll do England soon!
Control over Monetary Policy? Why?
hey from my home country
Hey hey!
Didn't you say you're from India though?
@@talhazubayurulislam9599 yes i'm from india
@@frankhoney3228 ah
Hello neighbour!
@@talhazubayurulislam9599 hello
In my opinion clearly the least powerful of the "big 4" of India.
But Bengali Howitzers are such an enticing meme.
Yeah it definitely starts as 4/4 but Bengal can become 1/4 the fastest
@@TheRedHawk Nope. Bahmanis and Jaunpur (though good luck getting the RNG) have extremely explosive starts that Bengal just can't compete with.
@@marcustulliuscicero5443 Bahamanis actually has a pretty slow start. Not sure about Jaunpur though.
Bengal can crush its only peer in 1444 by 1 v 1ing Orissa with the core it starts with. finishing its first mission. after that it is surrounded by weak and easy targets for endless back to back wars with free claims. Bahamians has to fight Vijanagar and that fight is tough and takes a long time.
I acctually don't know why this vid doesn't start with the Orissa war. ally Adahara rival Orissa Declare war and you swipe away the only hindu other than Vijanagar that could ever stop you. and you don't need to fight Vijanagar for a while
also not sure why he went with the +25 percent religous unity when you can simply cancel out hindu religous unity penalties all together and never have to convert anything.
@@scorpioneldar You attack Malwa on Dec 11 together with Mewar and partition them (restart until Estates give claims on Gondwana). Mewar gets two provinces, you take the rest including their capital. Which then gives you Malwa's vassals for free.
The next few years are either spent recovering from the Malwa war or going for a quick war on Gujarat, depending on how hard the war was and if Gujarat has any strong allies (mainly Jaunpur and/or the Timurids). Telingana should also be integrated to get claims on Andhra. Also build a fort in Pune to secure your western flank for the time being - Vijayanagar just loves walking through there.
Your next war then is a conquest war against Andhra. White peace Vijayanagar, vassalize Andhra. If you are very lucky Orissa will declare on Andhra will you are at war, meaning once you vassalize you can crush them together with Vijayanagar.
The next war against Vija is a reconquest war, together with Andhra you have plenty of cores to take back. Taking Vijayanagar isn't a bad idea as well as it unlocks a pretty significant chunk of claims. You can then either use those claims to attack Mysore and Madurai or take provinces out of Vijayanagar to take provinces to release Mysore and Madurai from.
While you are quickly dismantling Vija, you should also annex ... was it Kalpi? The Sunni vassal of Malwa (which you force-convert so Shia as soon as convenient for AoRef splendor), which then gives you a direct connection to Central Doab, aka the best state in India. Take it and disembowel Jaunpur.
Give me a sec and I'll upload a timelapse from a Bahmanis game I did a while back.
Jaunpur actually does something similar, but against Delhi. Which is actually better than Bahmanis' opener but from my experience less reliable to get by Dec 11.
And regarding his religious estate rights, you'll always convert as a Hindu Muslim for Splendor in the Age of Reformation. And Bengal in particular has a decent chunk of its mission tree locked behind converting their home provinces.
@@marcustulliuscicero5443 personally I think being able to ignore the entire religious conversion system all game long is worth more than the splendor in age of reformation especially as you don’t have to pay the exorbitant costs that come from low religious unity either and it isn’t hard to get 3 of the reformation requirements ticked off with a humanist strategy. (You don’t need more than that for golden age and only a handful of the splendor bonuses in that age actually work for you if your not converting.)
Not a big fan of strategy’s that rely on restarting especially ones that focus on restarting for estate missions. But I do indeed see how that might accelerate bahamanis. It is actually a very neat strat even if I probably would never have the patience to pull it off. My first war as them is usually to the south and I just follow the tree with them. Even before missions existed I would always take on the southern Hindu state first. I prefer to fight a big battle with my near peer rivals first and then after breaking them overrun the rest rather than chipping away at small fry to bulk up.
Fezzan guide pls
PLEASE DO MILAN NEXT I BEG YOU
Funny you say this because Milan is actually next lmao
What about religious ideas? Won't it help a lot to have 75% AE for all not Sunni nations around you?
Can we have a Q and A? Or can we know where you are from? I can't guess where the accent is from and its making me angry
No Q&As sorry, but you can catch me live on Twitch and ask whatever you want!
I assume somehere in eastern europe. But i am also very curious were he is from haha
Can you make guide Burma
Thank for the likes
Notification squiuuuaaaddddd
Gang gang!
Less go
Declare reconquest war on Orissa at 1444 12 11 and just full annex Orissa. All of her vassels will be yours then.
you'd get 4 1 province vassals taking up your diplo slots for 10+ years.. why would you want that?
@@Codan3 those are ae-free vassals and great for feeding. diplo slots are not a problem w/ strong duchy privilege
@@velzebute4129 they're not AE free when you want to full annex a country even the reconquest cb
@@Codan3 I was talking about those 4 vassals
@@velzebute4129 the vassals sure, but you're paying major AE for full annexing Orissa
Bengal with sikh religion - bad or not?
Jaunpour was Sunni which you could have atacked but didn’t
Bengal -> Nepal -> Telugu culture shift = OP
There is a common myth that the 15 % Art. Damage from Backrow mean a flat Damage increase of 30 %. This is wrong, 15 % Damage means 15 % Damage.
i would no cb delhi at the start
How about no cb Byz?
@@TheRedHawk The reason i no cb them is because to make delhi a vassal and kill sinhind to help me deal with janpuar, i don't rival janpuar at the start and improve relation with it that allow my troop to walk through at war, Usually delhi will ally sind as delhi so it is a easy war when sinhind break away that become defender at the sinhind war, but that would block the path to center india for 15-20 year. before1480+
It is about 200 development vassal delhi
Support comment.
The one thing I will say is that Hindu formable is wayyy better than Sunni formable. I think flipping Hindu late to form it then flipping back is best, Hindustan ideas just don't compare
Pajeet
First!
Yep!
There's like 0 incentive/reason to flip to hindu besides maybe trying to reroll your islamic holy school/denomination. Not only do you lose 100 prestige total, meaning your troops will have very low morale along with the other problems, but you'll also be unable to complete a part of your mission tree, and you're losing out on the legalism bonuses( more manpower,tax, tech cost), along with the ability to claim defender of faith for the war exhaustion reduction and other bonuses once you become bigger and stronger.
Indian sultanate government form is also one of the better forms of government, it has the 15 year taxation policies, which allow you more flexibility, along with some brahmin privileges it gives you all the tolerance and religious unity you'll need for almost all game, and it's secretly better than an Iqta because it actually allows queen regencies and you'll never have your good heir arbitrarily removed from the succession if your king dies before they're 15 (which only happens with iqtas and horde governments afaik). It doesn't however allow parliament or estates general (some few people actually like parliament, and estates general is very useful sometimes).
your pronunciations crack me up. Its "Janes" not "Jah-yanes"
Inspirated by cheweshot? 😂
He's playing Bengal on Twitch right? Not inspired however, just a coincidence, shout out to Chewy though!
Dude, As a Benghal I had 30 income in 1465 and 60 income in 1490. So you are definitelly doing something wrong and I wouldn't call it a good guide as it appears to be not that rich...
Also found a bit of controversy so the RedHawk doesn't actually know what he is doing:
At the beginning of the video:
- I'm not using debase currency and sunni religion ability to lower corruption, because we are rich and have enough money;
Few years later after war with Bahmani:
- Well I have few loans but who cares ?
No, the richest nation in India is me after stealing all their land and money as the Mughals
