I can only imagine how strong this would be with 2 or 3 tribes at the same time. The only thing holding you back at that point would be that you can only declare once a month.

For those of you who want to send this exploit into the stratosphere, I've played (and lost, which shows how bad I am) a game as Solon where I went colonial. It turn out that the New Zealand tribes are also valid targets for the "Force Migration" CB, and since they tend to stick around for a while, the list of valid targets goes from six to at least thirteen. While you won't get such a raw throughput of monarch power (which is part of the reason I screwed up, along with taking Exploration first, since I wouldn't take a -5 stab hit) the fact that there's up to thirteen targets for this means that you really don't have to cycle as hard. In a theoretically perfect 15 year cycle, you could end up with *3900* monarch points which is a little over seven a month. Granted, I doubt that it would play _that_ nicely, since it seems like the Siberian tribes eventually reform and I don't spend enough time down under to see how breaking the fort hugbox of kiwiland causes issues, but if anyone competent wants to do anything with that info they're more than welcome to -until they really break the game and Paradox pulls a "no fun allowed" card.-
Actually I mentioned that the Pacific Tribes also have that in my Video but they are so far off from any interesting Regions that I thought Siberia is way more interesting
@@thestudentYTI decided to switch gears and actually play as one of the New Zealand tribes instead. I think that the power scaling, despite starting a tech level behind, is much better because on top of having access to the Force Migration CB they also have: - Access to estates, so you can have your cake with monarch power estate privileges and eat it too. - Decent stab cost modifiers tied to ideas. I'm not a fan of truce breaking, but the Iwi System ideas include a -20% stab cost. It's not -33%, but it's still available. - The Pacific Naval Policy allows for 50% colonial range and recruitment of explorers and conquistadors. It means that you can skip Exploration and go straight into Expansion if you want to go hardcore colonial, which you should, since Australia is a gold mine for gold mines. You can easily eat up or tributary all the Australian tribes depending on your goals. - Way faster start. You're on an equal playing field and you share an island with six potential targets with three to the north of you right next door. Once you get a decent power spike from one or two Show Strengths, you can break your early alliances on the island and beat down way more countries, way faster, with less downtime. - No negative institution spread modifier and better land to develop. New Zealand is not perfect for development either, but seeing as Solon mostly has Arctic weather along with forests and mountains, it's way easier to dev up, though "The Beginning of Fire" event can really ruin your states. - A lot more practical to flip religions from Animist as opposed to Tengri. Tengri is great for a lot of things, but none of the Siberian tribes really have anything going for them in regards to cav boni. You can culture flip to Altaic and become Yuan, but you can easily do the same as any of the NZ tribes. - Better mission tree. It's not by a lot, and the mission that gives you the "Polynesian Kingdom" reform is a trap for this strategy, but there's a lot of free monarch points in that tree that anyone can grab. - Easier time building and keeping alliances. Indonesia and India aren't too far off, and with plenty of tags to choose from, you'll have at least one ally that will keep other nations off your back. Solon only has Korea or Japan to choose from, and they will eventually break up with you once you are big enough since there aren't too many valid targets in the area. The downsides, of course, are that you don't have the ability to immediately snowball into Asia and trucebreaking is a lot more dicey since you're annoying people way closer to you. But you can colonize America way easier and you get to keep the land directly too, so you don't have to fiddle around with CNs. You can also flip to one of the American religions (I went Inti because you're usually too big to do Nahuatl or Mayan without nation ruining yourself.) and get a little power spike there too. That one guy suggesting getting Naval ideas would actually work there too, since you have to island hop enough to where having a navy that punches above its weight makes sense defending against the inevitable Big Three. I think from a purely power standpoint, Solon has a lot of potential if you can get the balance right. But for average Joes like me, New Zealand offers a way safer alternative that has room to grow. You could even do the whole "keep one alive and repeatedly kill them" strategy and it would probably be quicker simply because of the travel time involved in Siberia between provinces.
This could be useful to get idea groups early, like you could get full exploration and expansion way before youre meant to have them, i know this is better with admin ideas (stability cost modifier) but itd still be good for that
You ninjaed me, because I went to check on the wiki if you can take Naval as a Siberian Tribe. Does it still count as “primitive” once you reform? And imho it could well be useful since it increases by 45 mil mana per truce break…
Imagine some solon troops conquering 75 times one city, just to show the muscles in the end and leave. I can imagine the faces of Chauvheveny people being like " damn, again that guys who just show how strong they are. Thats boring."
I used to do this as Arawak back in the day. I would migrate to Hispaniola and leave my armies in South America. I would then show strength against all the natives until the Europeans showed up
I knew about this exploit for a year. But i thought it was possible only in New Zealand. You can do it almost from the start and u have 3-4 nation u can fight at same time. But it was pretty useless since new Zealand is very far away from everyone.
That was the main strength I had when I played in NZ. Europeans would declare wars of imperialism on me all the time, but it took so much time and attrition for them to reach me that I easily won every war... eventually. But yeah, still a pretty slow game and my meteoric rise only really came after imperialism. Might have been an interesting mega campaign though as I held pretty much all the regions that get immigration buffs in Vic2.
Oh lord this is probably even more effective than the new world migrate cooldown strat with the old migration mechanics, where you used to sit on -3 stab and migrate every 90 days for 50-50-50 pts. Of course that got overhauled by the native update
I'm curious if this would also work (the show strength against migratory native) for australian natives to make the area *slightly* more enjoyable to play. You could easily trap quite a few of them, though you would be stuck in Australia.
But then you'd have Naval Ideas... You could become Portuguese Culture though for -80% reduction... that would be probably still more efficient than naval Ideas XD
@@thestudentYT I remember a campaign as Palawa where I used an exploration exploit to reach Siberia while remaining a native tribe, only to discover Force Migration worked this way. I even tried to convert to Evenk culture while forming Algiers to steal Solon's national ideas (warscore cost and years of separatism are pretty solid modifiers). However, I didn't think to take it as far as you did, truce breaking repeatedly for maximum output. A big part of that was simply that being a native tribe meant I couldn't take Naval ideas without reforming into a different government. Between the stab cost, the AE, and the war exhaustion, I was paranoid that something like this just wouldn't be worth it. Even acknowledging that, in principle, I still could have gotten -33% stability cost from the Hereditary Rule reform, and maybe more from starting as a different Aboriginal or Maori tribe...
This would be absolutely cracked, even in multiplayer, if you just hunkered down and fell behind in institutions, saved up ten thousand monarch points, then embraced institutions and teched way up
Doubt it. If you're way over cap, taking one tech will put you at whatever the updated cap is (IE 2000 --> 1400 monarch points even if you take a 30 cost tech). Thus you'd at most achieve one tech really far ahead of years, at the cost of spending a lot of time behind. For abusing development it is more attractive, although you'd have to first get your hands on enough land worth developing. Keep in mind that conventional expansion even as a relatively small nation can easily be well over 1000 development by 1550ish. In some cases more than double that, and as hordes more still. For something to be "overpowered", I'd expect to see something comparable to "stable True Heir of Timur all held directly" (which is possible), not ~800 development post 1560. There are costs not mentioned in the video that are very impactful, such as forced army positioning to do the assaults + kill rebels, avoiding taking + coring land (due to stab cost increase) etc. This is a way to make terrible nations significantly better, not a way to produce something approaching "overpowered" results :).
@@somearthling Lambda did it years ago, but also with a several decade margin and starting as one of the weak options for forming Mughals, so you wouldn't need to play at ~world record levels to do it by 1550!
Solon isn't as weak as you might think also because you can do this Show Strenght War regulary on your Siberian Neighbor every 15 years, that's an additional 0.55 Mana in each category
Man, imagine being ahead of tech all the time. Would just do it every 20 years and have best tech for rest of game and every province would be 30 dev. Governing cap would be only problem
"In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, or use elements of a game system in a manner not intended by the game's designers, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it." Of course this is an exploit.
Everything I used was fully intended... and I even pay a Price for the Mana I am getting, stability loss, Warexhaustion gain and AE impact... if that is an Exploit then every Trucebrake is
@@thestudentYT I´d wager, if you post this to the developers and ask, if over 100 Mana per month was in any way considered a possibility, the odds of them saying yes are slim to none.
I mean modifier stacking is also intended... you annex a 2000 dev Personal Union in a few months for only 200 diplo points if you stack annexation modifers... and that is way more broken than this strategy (Same also goes for vanilla dev cost stacking)
You can exploit this further: -never build any diplomatic relations to anyone else, so they never learn about your capital and form coalitions. -keep the remaining 3 siberian tribes alive and have 3 armies attacking the 3 nations.
One of the HRE CB's (I think claim electorate) has show strenngth as well. I wonder if this can similarly be exploited? The AE would certainly be terrible.
That's pretty insane. With 2 armies and 2 tribes left you could do it, roughly, once per month instead. And with naval ideas you could do the barrage for free. So that'd be 90/100/100 mana generation per month as long as AE allows. Of course as you conquer into Japan, Ming etc, you'd also solve the AE problem and get more&better deving opportunities. Make Japan your home base and trade company China perhaps? Sidenote: Chavchuveny's state motto is "it's that time of the month..."
@@varus4827 After you make a truce you have to wait 1 full month (and an additional day) before you can send them another diplomat, so the garisson is always at least 100, usually more like 200 because you need to walk there as well, which takes around 20 days according to the video
I have a question about parliament, if you get something from parliament that has no expiration date before it's gone (for example a missionary or colonist) do you still keep them if you decide to remove parliament?
What if you used the merc-influence policy to create opm client states, released them, and used all of those former client states to print mana? I haven't tested this, but they get your government right?
@@thestudentYT Interesting, I'd never played around too much with client states before so I decided to test what it actually meant by choosing government. It's just a choice between monarchy and republic. It's really weird to be able to create monarchies and republics as a tribe. Here I was hoping that you could choose a bit more about them. I hope PDX gives client states a bit more love, because they feel so outdated as a mechanic in the modern game tbh.
And I thought before that Solon is the worst nation to play as a Siberian Council because it's too big to migrate. So I was wrong. (Playing as an OPM, I migrated to find some gold, showed strength on unlucky tribes, developed institutions and stopped being an OPM and a Tribe).
As crazy as it sounds this is great if you pair it with Naval ideas because it gives minus 100% Naval barrage cost you would get an extra 50 military points every time you do it
I dealt with it by taking the right Tier 4 Reform, by taking Admin Ideas and by building Courthouses. And yes, the Siberian Native Council works with every culture and every religion... you just have to start with it and you have to keep it the entire time... otherwise it will be lost for the rest of the campaign
@@thestudentYT worth it for this strat tho i think haha. BTW, could you do some sort of video on the thalassocracy reform and trade protectorates? They haven't really been touched on since they were added to the game despite seeming a bit OP if you stack a lot of them
@@thestudentYT would it be worth it to take the idea group to help with mana generation overall but then towards the end of your declaring you remove it for a preffered idea group? you might be able to squeeze out a bit more mil mana overall depending on how much you end up saving from it
Well, see, this is not an exploit. You are using a game mechanic as intended. It's broken and cheesy af... But you play as the devs intended the player to. Of course, I think they assumed you would have annexed that tag by this point, by whatever. Good find!
This is no Problem with AE already (and you could also leave two of these nations in Siberia alive)... and Manchuria has at least SOME usefull expansion option in early Game... so I am pretty sure that Solon is still WAYYY better than Ngati-Toa
And it is easy to understand why this is a exploit. From where exactly come these 100 mana point each ? The loser should transfer it to you right ? So you tap into the ability to run into negative mana points. He gives you mana he do not have.
This is clearly a exploit. Its a game flaw you exploit. The game has no memory that you already proved being superior to this tribe. And there is only the truce timer you circumvent with a truce break. The fact you can do this over and over is certainly not intended.
Answer: No, it's not. Even super optimaly, you are getting at most 50 points per month. Which is cool, but not really worth it past the early game. Maybe if you are trying to do some tall thing.
@BobbiusRossius Bro, the the WR is 1474... at the current point you get CCR modifiers from every corner and with this you have literally INFINITE Mana, a pre 1600 WC is doable as any nation nowdays
you could say that about literally anything. why play any game or give yourself any challenge when you could just cheat? its easier anyway right? the reason to do this is to push the limits of exploiting the game without using dev or cheat tools.
@@afridge8608 idk what we are talking about here... if you want to play roleplay or chill eu4 then you can do that... but then why would you desperatly try to criticize an unknown crazy strategy that works without cheats and try to tell me that somehow it would not be worth it to use...

I mean it's still an oversight for sure because free mana go brrr, but yeah! Actually not an exploit in my opinion. Devs just didn't do the math.
That's pretty insane. With 2 armies and 2 tribes left you could do it, roughly, once per month instead. And with naval ideas you could do the barrage for free. So that'd be 90/100/100 mana generation per month as long as AE allows. Of course as you conquer into Japan, Ming etc, you'd also solve the AE problem and get more&better deving opportunities. Make Japan your home base and trade company China perhaps?
Sidenote: Chavchuveny's state motto is "it's that time of the month..."
Can you build ships? If I remember correctly, you can take maritime ideas for -100% naval barrage cost.
You are not a native! So yes
You should try speedrunning to max tech with this method.
At some Point you'll not be able to save enough Points to take the Tech but... infinite dev would be possible
@@thestudentYTinfinite dev isn’t quite right. A lot though.
I think you can do it without the assaulting if you time it right
yes... but then it takes 6 months instead of 2... and you'll have less Mana in the end
@thestudentYT why 6? When the fort has less than 100 guys it falls instantly
@@varus4827 After you make a truce you have to wait 1 full month (and an additional day) before you can send them another diplomat, so the garisson is always at least 100, usually more like 200 because you need to walk there as well, which takes around 20 days according to the video
@alexanderkloss3491 using 2 armies you could ignore the 20 day walk but with the 1 month wait it probably isn't going to work
@@varus4827 I was fast enough with one army already so that the limit was literally the One Month diplomat restriction... so no need for more armies
i would argue that playing as a siberian tribe is an exploit, paradox clearly doesn't think you should be playing them
I have a question about parliament, if you get something from parliament that has no expiration date before it's gone (for example a missionary or colonist) do you still keep them if you decide to remove parliament?
Very glad they're going to get rid of modifier stacking in eu5
this will make the game completely different. this will be interesting
What if you used the merc-influence policy to create opm client states, released them, and used all of those former client states to print mana? I haven't tested this, but they get your government right?
Released countries cannot be that Siberian Reform... so they can't be migratory... so you cannot get that CB on them
@@thestudentYT Interesting, I'd never played around too much with client states before so I decided to test what it actually meant by choosing government. It's just a choice between monarchy and republic. It's really weird to be able to create monarchies and republics as a tribe. Here I was hoping that you could choose a bit more about them. I hope PDX gives client states a bit more love, because they feel so outdated as a mechanic in the modern game tbh.
Can you make max eff extreme tall japan video? ❤
crazy
And I thought before that Solon is the worst nation to play as a Siberian Council because it's too big to migrate. So I was wrong.
(Playing as an OPM, I migrated to find some gold, showed strength on unlucky tribes, developed institutions and stopped being an OPM and a Tribe).
As crazy as it sounds this is great if you pair it with Naval ideas because it gives minus 100% Naval barrage cost you would get an extra 50 military points every time you do it
imo it wouldn't be worth the idea slot
How would you deal with the government capacity? And would you still be siberian council if you changed religion?
I dealt with it by taking the right Tier 4 Reform, by taking Admin Ideas and by building Courthouses.
And yes, the Siberian Native Council works with every culture and every religion... you just have to start with it and you have to keep it the entire time... otherwise it will be lost for the rest of the campaign
taking naval ideas can let you barrage for free, so the entire cycle costs only 10 adm
But then you have Naval ideas...
@@thestudentYT worth it for this strat tho i think haha. BTW, could you do some sort of video on the thalassocracy reform and trade protectorates? They haven't really been touched on since they were added to the game despite seeming a bit OP if you stack a lot of them
I was the one that brought them back to public with a crazy strategy in a video already several months ago
@@thestudentYT would it be worth it to take the idea group to help with mana generation overall but then towards the end of your declaring you remove it for a preffered idea group? you might be able to squeeze out a bit more mil mana overall depending on how much you end up saving from it
@@tree4104 you'll only need around 28 cycles to make your mil mana back, and beyond 50 cycles you're better off taking naval and deleting.
show strength shouldn’t do anything if the enemy is at -999 mana
The enemy doesn't lose any Mana from that... it creates Mana out of nothing anyways
How did you find all of that?
Well, see, this is not an exploit.
You are using a game mechanic as intended.
It's broken and cheesy af... But you play as the devs intended the player to.
Of course, I think they assumed you would have annexed that tag by this point, by whatever. Good find!
Its works on ngati-toa, four year. Its better, because nobody knows about them and its really zero ae. And they can beat two countries with this cb
This is no Problem with AE already (and you could also leave two of these nations in Siberia alive)... and Manchuria has at least SOME usefull expansion option in early Game... so I am pretty sure that Solon is still WAYYY better than Ngati-Toa
And it is easy to understand why this is a exploit. From where exactly come these 100 mana point each ? The loser should transfer it to you right ? So you tap into the ability to run into negative mana points. He gives you mana he do not have.
This is clearly a exploit. Its a game flaw you exploit. The game has no memory that you already proved being superior to this tribe. And there is only the truce timer you circumvent with a truce break. The fact you can do this over and over is certainly not intended.
Music is way too loud and distracting.
Please mix it quieter.
pretty cheap way to keep your army tradion up if you dont want to blob to hard.
If that is the OP thing that you took from this video then I am honestly worried XD
@@thestudentYT obviously not but its basically +6 or 12 Army tradition per year for nothign
@@oKnuTo Yes it is a nice side effect
Cool, but it is an exploit tbf
You're on the wrong channel if you're worked up about exploits.
@@EbonySaints No it does not bothering me at all, what did actually caused me to comment is the fact this video title says "No exploits"
Why doesnt your AE go up though?
Because it was super far away, a heathen Religion, my own Religion, and a different Culture group...
@thestudentYT So what matters is the distance of your capital?
@@rami8896 The distance towards the attacked nation of course
But question is : is it worth ? Or you lag behind too much and not blob the world enough
Trust me... with this you can get a WC One Culture before 1600 if you want to
Answer: No, it's not.
Even super optimaly, you are getting at most 50 points per month. Which is cool, but not really worth it past the early game. Maybe if you are trying to do some tall thing.
@BobbiusRossius Bro, the the WR is 1474... at the current point you get CCR modifiers from every corner and with this you have literally INFINITE Mana, a pre 1600 WC is doable as any nation nowdays
If you give me 20 bucks then I'll do a pre 1600 WC starting as Solon
@BobbiusRossius You can form other nations and get other ideas... just nothing that changes you into a Monarchy
eu3 had chinese cheese , now siberian cheese?
You took their lunch money sooo much. Poor Siberian natives.
this looks strong, but not fun.
also how is that not an exploit? 😭
Just using fully intended Game Mechanics in a Creative way :)
@@thestudentYT it's certainly creative! I don't think pdx ever considered this scenario when forming these mechanics
STOP! He’s already dead! 😖
Lol
If u want free mana it s easier to use cheats😂
This is super easy... and you can get any achievements and you could do it in MP
you could say that about literally anything. why play any game or give yourself any challenge when you could just cheat? its easier anyway right? the reason to do this is to push the limits of exploiting the game without using dev or cheat tools.
@thestudentYT why do achievements matter if you exploit this hard. Why also ruin a lobby
@@afridge8608 idk what we are talking about here... if you want to play roleplay or chill eu4 then you can do that... but then why would you desperatly try to criticize an unknown crazy strategy that works without cheats and try to tell me that somehow it would not be worth it to use... I don't get what you want to tell me with this comment honestly xD
Gotta agree. Idk why people think using exploits is somehow more justified than using cheats.
