As a general word of advice: The Mamluks are in a great position to form Rum, which has the (excellent) Ottoman government reform, great ideas, a great mission tree, and Jannisaries. You need to shift to Turkish culture first, however. Which means that you can't upgrade your government to an Empire until you do so, because then you can't become Turkish anymore.

I have been playing Europe 4 for a long time and when I first started playing I was glad that the Mamluks have some kind of mechanics with the Circassians.

There were 2 Mamluk dynasties in Egypt. Mamluk literally means “mostly Kipchak Turks that were enslaved by Abbasid Caliphs to be used as soldiers”.

something you slightly screwed up in the peace deal, when you're in a reconquest CB, take land, use the "return cores" interface, otherwise the warscore cost discount won't apply and the ottomans won't lose their cores on the lost greek land.

Actually, its worth to build workshops in low trade value goods if they give you .20 ducats plus since you can pay them off very fast, delete them late game, and replace them whit soldiers' households giving you profit and extra building slot late game

Red Hawk has Florence in his top 3? Based.

You probably know by now what to expect from me ;) Although I gotta admit, with the last Dev Diary it feels kind of wrong to ask for a TO Baltic Crusader guide considering how much more awesome it will be to do that as a Holy Horde with the next expansion :( Keep up the great content!

In my last Mamluks game I went bankrupt after a little "rebell-accident" causing high autonomy, changing to Judaism and after that a lot of rebells. But it was a nice play through.

one quick note.if you plan on no cb’ing byzantium and buying stability after it would make more sense to buy one stability at the very start to get its benefits for the 2 years before declaring and it’s the same cost as being on negative stability so the cost is the same and you get the benefits of being on one stability

One thing that I like from the mamluks is that you won't get a stab hit when your ruler dies Not only that you can easily get high army tradition by constanly make your ruler a general and pick the next ruler with circasian origin which give you 10% army tradition if I'm not mistaken 🤔

@aliofhwice3502

2 жыл бұрын

The Mamluks pseudo-election system encourages you to mix it up by switching between circasian and most popular culture (usually Egyptian) by giving specific buttons, like free gold and manpower. The Army tradition is OK, but a very short term thing if you're gonna goto war soon.

I have an idea for your Circassia A to Z, form the Mamluks as them

Kilwa guide would be amaizing

Spain and the Timurids were crazy in my last Mamluks idea.

A to Z idea for the Mamluks eventually. SInce the Nile is so important for any egyptian civilization, how about conquer at least on province of each of the most important rivers in the world. Yellow, Amazon, Yangtze, Mississippi, Rhine, Danube, Mekong, Ganges, maybe the Niger too. To make it even more thematic maybe you can only expand in a line like a river lol.

One of your most cursed titles

dear red hawk did yuo know, you should choose the province that costs the most in a peace deal as the war goal, as it makes it cheaper

Hope the Mamluks receive a fulfilling mission tree and flavour in the next update. For example, the player should be able to choose between three paths through missions and events: a Mamluk path (and receive buffs to the Mamluk government and abilities), an Egyptian path (more like a regular monarchy but with some buffs and maybe the ability to westernize, also Egypt needs to be improved as a formable like they did with Scandinavia) or a Caliphate path (maybe linked to Arabia as a formable, but with something similar to the Holy Horde).

Seems like a very fun nation to play

Would you recommend forming Egypt and/or Arabia as the Mamluks, and why?

Georgia has nice cores to reconquest

Can you imagine if throughout history rulers just made vassals and more vassals and integrated their old ones and went "We're declaring war on the Ottomans to reconquer the rightful land of Syria!"

@sorsocksfake

2 жыл бұрын

Quite easy to imagine as such things did happen (though often it would involve the ruler fleeing the initial conquest, and the host restoring his lands in exchange for his allegiance). Happens to this day in a sense (e.g. Russia kept the pro-Russian former president of Ukraine around, I think the West accepted the Persian Shah, and so forth). Of course historically the lines would typically be more blurred. It might be more accurate if vassal loyalty scaled everything: there's a big difference whether you have 100% loyalty or 51% loyalty.

More quality content from my favorite EU4 KZreadr. Thanks Mr. Red Hawk!

As the Mamluks you have the decision options to form Arabia at admin 10 and Egypt at admin 20. I would have liked to hear your thoughts on that, good idea or not? (I've only played the Mamluks once, formed Arabia and then forming Egypt was not an option anymore...)
