- EU4 Najd is one of the hardest starts in EU4, but we're slowly crawling towards the ultimate goal - the EU4 Achievement Jihad. We need to own 500 sunni provinces but we're running out of time - do you reckon we'll pull it off?

ONE SESSION REMAINING! TIME IS RUNNING OUT! WEDNESDAY 24/01 AT 19:30 GMT FOR THE CONCLUSION!!
Should have waited an hour to start the stream lol
Wednesday Stream clashing with Speed5 is an L.
Canon stack getting wiped by a different nations rebels randomly popping up is truly an eu4 moment
Laith 'We don't need to upgrade our forts near the Ottomans, that threat is over'
The Ottoman AI took that personal
I hate saying this, but your hair actually starts looking good.
Gay
Very Gay
Real and Gay
It's always looked good!
IT'S HAPPENING
Laith’s struggles with this inspired me to do it myself. I managed it by 1685, without properly fighting the Ottomans. I basically just took expansion ideas as my third idea group, colonised all of Indonesia and the Philippines, took a lot of central and Southern Africa (couldn’t push into Kilwa because they allied the Ottomans and were guaranteed by Spain), and also took loads of India and Persia. Wasn’t too bad in the end. I also managed to get the Sworn Fealty achievement which was more annoying than I expected.
Sowrn fealty isn't that bad, once you upgrade enough monuments tribal unity no longer ticks down. It's only annoying since it prevents you from reforming your government and you are stuck with being a tribe for neaely all the campaign...
@@mxpo8989 that was the problem, by the time you’re ready to form Arabia, your tribal allegiance is ticking down at -0.25 per month because of development. The Pyramid monument in Cairo slows that down somewhat, but the way I had to do it was win tons of battles against an annoyingly large Delhi, humiliate them then form Arabia that same month. Then afterwards I took the mission to change my government type to Monarchy, because if you do that before you get the achievement it locks it off.
@@laptar pyramids + al-azhar + last government reform would have stabilised you at 0. Same trick to keep tribal unity as a horde
I just decided against going for sworn fealty in my recent run. I planned on getting it initially but it looked like a massive slog by the time I got there so I just reformed into a caliphate and continued on my way lol.
Someone plays a long campaign outside of Europe and suddenly Austria owns half of it, Two Sicilies not only exists but wages a crusade for the Holy Land with support of its senior partner France and Tlemcen made it to the 1600s for some reason.
in my own Najd run this patch, Bohemia owned half of Europe and not only did Two Sicilies form, they formed and united all of Italy outside the provinces I needed for the missions and the caliphate! before forming Italy they had also conquered practically the entire Maghreb region while allied to France . . . that was a pain
England was also partitioned between France and Scotland by the 1600s
@@yeen4204 Wow, I don't think I've ever seen the AI form Italy
as someone who plays all games to 1821: I move my cannon stacks separately from my other troops, but join them up for battles. it helps so much with attrition.
Honestly I love the fact you’re keeping in the multiple restarts, it’s hilarious. Keep up the amazing work, you’ll be at 1 million one day even though you deserve it now
This is the most true to the EU4 experience video I’ve ever seen
Pretty sure Ethiopia took the last mamluk province, which you then took from them when you took Egypt
This. To be more precise 22:19 is the answer to 37:49
Watching Laith do this entire “own 500 provinces” achievement without taking diplo ideas hurts
Thanks again, you inspired me to start this as my 3rd campaign ever. 1600s and a whole lotta fun
Also you can transfer multiple states to a vassal if you shift click the provinces first
BRO, U GOTTA MANUALLY FIRE BOTH ADVISORS AND THEN REHIRE THEM FOR RADICAL REFORMS +200 ADMIN AND +200 DIPLO
There's no need to do that really unless you specifically want to keep those characters (say beacuse they're a discounted price).
@@DylanSargesson Oh yeah, for sure. I was just referring to 9:19 in the video when he chose the +200 admin instead of the +200 admin & +200 diplo option. He seemed like he wanted to keep the Trade Efficiency guy, so he didn't wanna choose the +400 mana option.
I love that you refer to the doggo as “some people!”
Please continue this. Of course I am happy to watch you fail, but I would be even happier to see you succeed.
37:36 You left OPM Mamluks so I assume Ethiopia annexed them. And then you ate most of Ethiopia
Watching this after the stream, which I joined a bit later (was still good 😄).
Having no manpower while fighting nations like France and the Ottomans is definitely hard, but you manage it somehow as always. You can do this achievement, I believe in you. 😉
that Austria is a monster
love the fact Laith lost his navy and then immediately France lands troops where his navy originally was... lmao
I love the fact that you are still missing the achievement for playing till the end of the campaign xD
I can definitely say Laith has done way harder things than I did, but I think I did Jihad pre-1650 before king of kings even by just reforming into a horde and doing horde things.
I think that one reason it took laith so long is because he had horrible rng in the beginning
"Why would I attack the Ottomans when there are easier targets"
To stop them from attacking you, Laith.
Laith you know there is a new EU4 feature to mass give land in war? Shift + left click provinces and they will group together and you can change occupation without having to go into 500 seperate windows. just thought you should know
At that stage in the game, you need sets of stacks travelling separately and fighting together. The annoying part is how much more attentive you need to be.
Holy shit I thought he wouldve given up by now
You can do it man! we believe!
Of course the real question is: why was Yas still alive after all that time?
In the meantime you can try make an achievement with that 1000 dev in sand provinves in Arabia!
the mission tree helps with this a lot too, the second Islamic golden age lets you use your golden age both for early expansion and later for dev cost once you finish the tree!
@yeen4204 yuup thanks to that bonuses i deved up that 1000 dev after being done with the Jihad one
I can only imagine the pain💀
Laith as far as I am concerned, if you have low level forts near a border with your rival/enemy, then they will be encouraged to attack you over and over again 😅
Yay! More Najd!
Babe wake up new Najd video dropped
You should move this save game into Vic3
Day 186 of asking for an Oranje Free State Playthrough of Vicky 3...It's surprising how long it's been now in retrospect.
The hair haters don’t know about the loose curly long hair. W Laith rizz
No cannons in the backrow?! 😮
*BUT* was that really more painfull than being toyed with by *Lotharingia?*
At 48:08 I was wondering, can you put the manpower into the great project to get it done faster so that way you don't waste it with the event? I never tried it so I'm curious if it's working that way
I believe in you laith :)
lol army reform is one of the best events in game and in my anbennar game as dwarves i took the navy one because i needed the diplo points
Laith reduced the mams to a opm. then Ethiopia took them out then laith took the province
I really like your hair this video
dunno if youve ever seen this happen, but im playing hisn kaffa and i noticed that semien had taken out all of ethiopia and nubian area... so i allied them
next minute they were ethiopia again.. so now im allied to a jewish ethiopia... i dont think semien has ever done anything but get eaten in 4000 hours of
me playing this game
I still cannot believe that Laigh, as a THEOCRACY did not pick Divine Ideas, it made me cringe so hard...
Why does Yas still exist?
37:36 They got eaten by Ethiopia at 22:18
The AI is never not this level of aggressive to me when I play so it feels super weird to hear you say this is unusual behaviour hahaha
Laith dressed as a benedictine friar?
Why did you not fire your advisors when the mana event happened then rehire after?
‘Hahaha omg this is so dumb I am not having fun lolllllll I never want to play this game again xD right guys???’ - every Laith video ever
when U dont listen to the video
Unfortunately, after watching this video, I wish I have an Arabian heritage in my next life.
I hate how fort-crazy the AI is. It makes sense but the gameplay is so much more tedious, it makes me want to stack siege ability
Laith is trying to get 500 provinces but didn't get diplo or admin lol
Did i miss something or doesn't forming arabia prevents the achievement anymore?
it does not. I got the achievement in this patch as The Caliphate / Arabia
@@yeen4204 ah, thanks!
Maybe it easier in earlier patches. 🤔 think I did this 2 years ago
I have to balance out this comment section before things go too far - Laith your hair is looking silly as always
i thought you couldnt form arabia and had to stay as nejd for the achievement, or was that changed?
I got the achievement in this patch as Arabia / The Caliphate. can confirm you just need to start as Najd
I am very sad I ran out of Chanel member money
I claim that video is halal
Ethiopia took the last Mamluk province and then you took it from Ethiopia
Rematch Tiwi again please xD
4 speed pls
Laith states he doesnt need up upgrade his forts cos the ottomans are easy now.. then they declare war and take his weak forts easy... hmmm
Halal gameplay
