![]() ![]() Now Aragonese and Sicilian will be the two promoted cultures. Once the provinces are Catalan, that should be about 59% of your development, and you can switch Catalan to your primary culture. You want to do this right away, because you can only culture shift to a culture that is at least 50% of your development, and if you wait until you make the Turkish provinces full cores you will not be able to easily push Catalan above the 50% threshold. Aragonese starts out with only 16% of your development, compare to 43% for Catalan. I'd suggest you immediately culture shift the three Aragonese provinces to Catalan. Unfortunately, both promoted culture slots are already taken up, and you don't want to demote Sicilian or Catalan since that increases unrest and you lose the manpower and income bonuses that come with promoted culture. That by itself will reduce unrest, and make it easier to convert the provinces to Catholic. One way to mitigate this is to make Turkish an accepted culture. You will start out expanding into Anatolia, and with Turkish being an non-accepted culture and the religion not being Catholic there will be a lot of unrest. When you start the game, you have two promoted cultures, Catalan and Sicilian, along with your primary culture Aragonese. The bigger you get, the more bishops you will have, which means more Papal Influence over time and more goodies. Even when you do get rebellions, those cheaper mercenaries make them easy to handle without running low on manpower.īeing Catholic also means access to the Holy See, which can be used for all sorts of goodies like extra stability, tax income, or diplomatic reputation. There's also a stability cost reduction and extra autonomy change, which means you will get fewer rebellions as you steamroll across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. That means that you can have Castile, Naples, and Byzantium as subjects.Īragonese ideas really emphasize trade and naval force limit (which can be used to protect trade and boost naval tradition). When the Iberian wedding event fires, the human player always leads the PU. With Aragon's powerful navy and the Ottomans' irrational propensity to commit 100% of their forces to fighting Albania, you can easily wreck the Ottomans early on and pick up centers of trade. I picked Aragon because it has several advantages: Once you have Biga, Hudavendigar, Kocaeli, and have vassalized Byzantium, you're off to a good start. At least you'll know within the first 5 or 10 years of the game whether you can execute that strategy. The Ottomans may not attack Albania first, or they may attack Albania too soon, or Venice might attack Albania before the Ottomans do. You can find more details on my guide here. The first few years will be identical to the opening moves for getting the Consulate of the Sea Achievement. If you'd like to watch a video before reading more, I explain some of the concepts here: It's easy to get the entire Iberian Peninsula and wreck the Ottomans early on, and you can get several other rare achievements along the way. I'm going to make the case that the easiest way to form Rome will be to start as Aragon. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section, and I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion. To form the Roman Empire, you need to be either the Christian or Pagan religion group, and own specific regions and provinces (more details on this can be found on the EU4 wiki site [It's not easy to fill out the requirements, and you'll have to walk a fine line managing your economy, overextension, aggressive expansion, armies, and diplomacy. To get Mare Nostrum, you need to own the entire coastline of the Mediterranean and Black Sea, and form the Roman Empire. I normally like to keep guides concise, but there's so much to cover for getting a more difficult achievement like this.
