I wish they would make some sort of war conclusion report. Detailing the casualty, MVP knight, important dates, occupied regions, hostages and other details in a reviewable UI.
If you rush middle east with elephants and wipe the floor with everybody... give enough time and they start heavily focusing on spearmen. Atleast for my game. Nowedays (not sure after which update) spearmen counter elephants as well, not just regular cavalry. In your case however, the knight effectiveness just made your knights into space marines anyway so... gg!
Thanks! I dont think it would change much, the stats on the elephants get as buffed as the knights. I fought some armies full of the local bowmen that counter elephants (paiks I think) and they got obliterated by the elephants.
@@sarsante I started with army full of light cavalry and light footmen in India. All my neighbours armies consist of pikes and heavy infantry so they get easily slaughtered with very cheap army. That is early game though. In later game they will start adding more variety to their armies.

We appreciate the video but it will be more educational if there will be a voice over on the things happening. If not a voice over, just a text on the video at the least. Overall, a good job on helping us discover tactics that would make combats easier. Thank you.
Yeah I know, but I uploaded it as some sort of meme/broken thing but people got interested. I no longer have the footage to record voice over it. Video quality would be really terrible if I download the video encoded by yt and reupload it.
This is amazing, did you make swords and armour and hand them out and also choose bellicose culture plus only the strong, I think quarrelsome also adds prowess? Warlike courtier perks etc. Late medieval unlocks knighthood so you also add the formidable banneret and things like that. Getting 50+ prowess knights in late game after making everyone geniuses/herculean/giants is certainly doable. And fun. Did you choose the elephants to make the army as small as possible so the vid would be that much more amazing? I wonder if pure armoured footmen wouldn't be better since you can upgrade every county to contain barracks to give silly bonuses
@@sarsante oh I see, adding as many knights as possible is key then. I guess court banners and artifacts would also have to be maximised to push that even further. Such a cool idea. I'll be trying it next play through.
It's not against me, it's against Syria but as a muslim I offered to join. I started in 867 as duke (cant recall the name of) southern India, it shows my capital when I raise the troops Not ironman but you can reproduce it in ironman, there's no mods to add or improve champions, artifacts, anything like that.
19/19 holdings. Make as many personal holdings a Duchy holding as possible. Build the Heavy Cavalry and Knight Effectiveness buildings. Then build as many Elephantry buildings as possible in forest holdings. Then build buildings that increase Knight Effectiveness. Easy peasy OP army.
he most likely started as a muslim tamil (druvidian heritage) in maduraj, best county in the game in my opinion. You can speedrun 100% development there
How do you get a domain limit of 19? Highest I've been able to reliably achieve is 12-14 with genius characters in the stewardship education with stewardship wifes.
genius and genius wife, special building in tanajavur or something like that gives stewardship per devotion, all cultural techs that give domain unlocked plus artifacts.
How do you get that many knights and how do you get such high effectiveness is it something you can only get in India or does it work everywhere in the world?
@@OKGknife not mods, read the description. 1 maxed out elephantry building adds 16% knight effectiveness (kn) and 4 knights I've 18 of those buildings. then you've duchy buildings for more kn, only the strong, artifacts, your marshall dont call it mods something just because you dont understand.
you need elephantry buildings, they're the key here. each one of them add 16% effectiveness and 4 knights. so it might be possible to do it outside India, Im not sure which cultures can have that innovation.

I don't recall, more likely 867. Maybe I replied to somebody else im the comments when the run was fresh in my mind but it has been way to long to remember.
Wow, you are unstoppable, haha, for real! How to get the elephants if you are not Persian or anything like that? Without mods. Let's say, you are from England or Spain but you want elephants. It's possible? Is it possible with the cultures?
You can try to get your heir educated by someone from a culture that has access to elephantry and select to change culture. But the elephantry can only be built in jungle areas, so I guess outside India you can try Africa.
While it is cool to see the knight effectiveness i will doubt any true legitimacy of run as debug is shown to be active when they hover over provinces(you can see values and province IDs)
I was playing without debug until I got bored, I just kept playing the run to record this. Also debug or not has nothing to do with the amount of knights or their effectiveness, give it a try.
@@sarsante Excellent, thank you for the information. So I will soon revisit the bottom of the Indian penisula, as they have the highest development and one country has 6-7 slots for buildings.

they gotta fix how the AI upgrades their buildings and how they handle knight effectiveness

You're talking about how impressive the military is, but Jesus that economy. How?

My man just created mumakils and went to the middle east and destroyed everything.
Swell
Does this work with horses??
No, the elephantry building is responsible for adding knights and knight effectiveness
your gold, prestige, piety, and renown are similar to an immortal character, how many generations did it take you to get that much
Im not sure about how many generations but it was an 867 start.
24M million gold?
Not altogether surprising when you have 106 of them.
How tf you have 19 holdings slot
@@gazztears2140 this was recorded idk 2 years ago before the stewardship nerf
The game should have a Unit Cap (12 Elephants max) and a Knight Effectiveness limit (200% for instance)
