Forgot to post it earlier but part 1 is here in case you're wondering how I got France in a PU, got the entire Lowland coast, and still have British missions: ruclips.net/video/4rNJBcNlH0A/видео.html
I recently played a game myself and the east India company only gets the benefits of colonial nations which is quite underwhelming. Although, you do get quite a lot of bonuses if you make them a crown colony compared to just having it as your own territorial cores. One trick to use is to fight a massive war as your first war in India, fight multiple wars if possible if your cores are across multiple nations. All the provinces in India that you own, your core or not, will be immediately cored by east India company so you can take unlimited over extension in your initial war and all of it will be cored for free.
@@Aekries If you conquer England, but never core any of it, and then take the "conquer ireland" mission, you can release Ireland, who will have cores on the entire island, even if you never cored anything. I didn't realize that also applied to the EIC. Good to know
@@Tarkusarkusar Yeah I think it could make it more worthwhile, But Permanent claims on all of India for yourself over a subject is so much better + GB gets really good goods produced, Trade protectorates give you 2% each, - and for me tonnes of Australian and Native American OPMs would accept it, as well as shorter term some Indies OPMs but they slowly left because they ally people you typically want to conquer. Combine with tonnes of furnaces and the Goods produced bonus you get flat from missions is nowhere near what you'd get from just owning it.
@@Tarkusarkusar I think the strategy is to take the centers of trade for yourself, tc them and give the rest to the company for the goods produced bonus. This will give them about 60% goods produces which makes your filthy rich if you can get most of that to the channel Edit after testing, The 60% goods produces is cutting is really short you can get close to 100% good produced without them having done any investments and you also get the merchants.
One way to get a foothold in India is to threaten war for one of these cores, this means you don't need to perform a naval landing to get in. Also, the EIC gives a second merchant once it has enough provinces and it has huge goods produced modifiers which increases the trade sent back to the English Channel
Appreciate the time you spent editing this together, along with the quasi-narrative style. Adding comment for the algo, and also to say that, yeah, EIC is for roleplaying only. Of course, if you have GovCap issues, turning India into a CN may be worth it ... but even more worth it to not even bother! Trade companies ALL the way, I say.
Trade protectorates from Australian and American indigenous tags are really strong for getting free good produced. I would like to see more of these EU4 guides. I also find the Australian indigenous tags are lots of fun because Alcheringa is a strong religion and they tend to have some really strong and rare national idea sets.
The advantage of EIC is you do not have to core, overextend, govern, or even get coalitions if you transfer provinces to EIC for peacing out, also in wars you have 1 less front to worry about exhaustian etc, its a really good trade (plus theres a few trade secrets im not going to mention) its really good for MP
@@DarthFhenix55 perma claims not cores, it works the same whether you have claims or eic has claims, also EIC gets cores on whatever you have annexed before you click the mission to if you can handle being 300% overextended you can attack 3 hindu nations and annex 100% then click the mission and EIC gets them as cores
You can still hold land in India with East India company, so you can get more merchants and probably more trade value, plus they end up fielding quite a big army. So-so on worth since you could always feed and annex other nations and it doesnt let you core provinces bordering them, something i found out the hard way and had to snake to bidar state for a merchant, albiet once youve started the cores in the area you want it doesnt matter. With claiming states w Espo ideas it's not too bad, but it is probably better to take it yourself which is unfortunate.
1:24 Couldn't you just return cores diplomatically? Creation favors with the Pope is quite easy since you normally have a big power difference and they constantly ask you favors.
I don't blame you man. It's hard to go through all the different cultures and languages of different nations you play in your playthroughs and you do an amazing job at acing most of them. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work
you don't want to spawn gold in trade company provinces you lose most of it from high autonomy its best to do high trade power goods stacked with your high trade steering and efficiency you'll make far more than any gold even if you did state it.
for production benefits, yes you are supposed to only trade company trade centers. though it is just simpler for many people in many cases to just click the button to trade company all, and i guess it also negates the religious disunity penalty.
basically just laziness. Although it's optimal to only trade company the trade centers, I'd have to spend time doing that and... well whatever, basically. I'm so OP that little things like that don't matter too much.
How are you supposed to conquer india as litterally any other european nation? You have a mission tree that gives you free access into india. No other european faction does
I don't even know where in the video he shows his crownland, but in 100 years you can max it out, even if you do the opener with the mana privileges and give one estate land rights. In 110 years you can give the other two estates land rights as well and still reach the cap. It's not hard.

I really like how you add on a role-play aspect to justify your game choices. Really enjoyable!

Oh wow so kinda like the Ireland strategy for England then, probably a bit harder but with high dev lands 100% worth.
@@comb-t what is ireland strategy for england

Your narration is great. Makes the video so enjoyable.
Really nice video man. I like to story telling thats not too quick but also not dragged out. Keep up the good work!
this was soo good, really want to see the rest of the series though!
A very fun video and I’m also in love with the Hades soundtrack as background
i was enjoying watching this Video, its more a Video or RP video then a guide but is amazing!!! enjoyed every second of it.
Very unique and creative approach to EU4 gameplay. Keep it up bro

Doesn't the missions gave cores to you tho?

I really loved this. Subbed and now eagerly awaiting the next part.
Loved this sort of video. Can we get a follow up, really enjoyed following this and part 1 so far
Just a thought here... maybe having the EIC around and giving them more land could have helped with the overextension woes...
1:24 Couldn't you just return cores diplomatically? Creation favors with the Pope is quite easy since you normally have a big power difference and they constantly ask you favors.
Love the story telling
Searched for "accidentally built a jeep", became one of the first 32k viewers instead
"Azaad" is "Free", "Freedom" is "Azaadi"
Yes you're right, that's my bad. My Hindi is very rudimentary lol. Thank you for the correction
I don't blame you man. It's hard to go through all the different cultures and languages of different nations you play in your playthroughs and you do an amazing job at acing most of them. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work
What I like to do is turn OPM natives into trade protectorates and convert them to Anglican, easy tier V faith and none of the rrsposibilities

I would've kept Naples as a OPM in Avellino that way I'm sure no other vultures like Venice or the Pope would eat them
wait how do do you have gold in south africa? is that a mod? or does the new DLC give the ability to change trade goods? I'm so confused right now lol
i think its randomized
The DLC gives England the ability to choose trade goods of colonies if you go the British path. He says as much when he shows South Africa.
Please tell me the new capgain is for the ottos i would love to see you roleplay as them
This happened in real life also
Will India win the rebellion!?!?
Also has 100k manpower, 4k ducats, and 3 stability. But seriously good content keep it up!
Awesome
Why are you trade companying all of India aren’t you supposed to just trade company trade centers

basically just laziness. Although it's optimal to only trade company the trade centers, I'd have to spend time doing that and... well whatever, basically. I'm so OP that little things like that don't matter too much.
don't add everything into your TC, add just trading provinces as you don't get the good's produced modifier in provinces in TC.
Add just one province per state region
Damn and I thought my England run was good! I abandoned Europe but dominate the new world and India
How are you supposed to conquer india as litterally any other european nation? You have a mission tree that gives you free access into india. No other european faction does
Why did you not form Great Britain?
That use of Provence is bespoke
Please I need more gameplay of roleplay eu4. Maybe as Portugal.
No pro players ever have that many crown lands especially in the age of reformation
I don't even know where in the video he shows his crownland, but in 100 years you can max it out, even if you do the opener with the mana privileges and give one estate land rights. In 110 years you can give the other two estates land rights as well and still reach the cap. It's not hard.
Vijaya what
13:17 As a turk I dislike the video even tho i liked the video, because you did in the game what England was no able to do in real life in 1915
why don't you like the east india copmany? when you use it you don't need to worry about government capacity, overextension or admin points
You are ignorant of colonialism
crybaby
Glory to Europe
