Tried playing with several different Indian factions. Unless I play as one of the bigger ones I get fucked within 20 years.

India as Delhi or Deccan is quite fun, as Delhi you only need one more core to form Hindustan, so if you get a mission for that it won't be that interesting, but otherwise there will be a lot of issues with the rest of India allying against you, and Deccan got the constant pain in the ass that is Viyajanagar.

[Overdriven]

Yeah Viyajanagar is the major pain. Pretty much no matter what I do as one of the smaller factions I'll inevitably get taken over by them and attacked by their inevitable chain of allies. The problem with Delhi is they have a lot of rivals on all sides though I have yet to give them a go.

I've played Viyajanagar and they're pretty fun.

I took over entire India as Delhi, your only chance is to ally Deccan and support them in their wars, not to little, 'cause then Viyajanagar becomes a superpower and you're doomed, not to much, 'cause then Deccan becomes a superpower and annexes Gujisomething, gotta pay tribute to Timurids, annex Bihar instantly, never allow Chagatai to take actual Delhi, and kick Rajputana whenever they're down. At least that was my tactic, I still only barely kept Deccan alive and if I hadn't gotten the last core and formed Hindustan I'd have been fucked.

BTW: Wanna do a multiplayer game in India some time? People mostly prefer Europe and the Middle East.

What. Vj's hard? Since when? They are completely OP when compared to almost anyone else in India. That manpower/force limits...

Hence why playing against them is like fighting the blue blob, except it's in India.

I have been watching videos of EU4 recently and the game looks so amazing. It is going to be awesome. I can't wait until it is released.
Here is some interesting previews from a guy who was invited to Stockholm by the devs to attend  a promotional event and he had the occasion to play the game for a few hours.

[bagge]

Felt like playing Russia since I havn't done so for a long long time

Anyway, Shema is emperor now. Endless manpower and 321 limit. GF

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

Chubanids started with 4 cored provs out of 20 or so, wrong religion in half the provs, wrong culture in all the provs, and a modifier that gives 10+ revolt risk everywhere.
Still lasted like 150 years were as the the real Chubanids died 1 year after game start <3

[bagge]

Yeah you did awesome as Chubanids... but since you didn't draw me that picture I had to invade you
