EU4 Najd can be one of the hardest starts in EU4. We can get the EU4 Jihad achievement and that's what we're trying to do today... but there's a problem. Perhaps I should have consulted an EU4 guide or EU4 tutorial for this one because I almost go bankrupt as well as having the worst RNG possible and I'm pretty sure the AI was cheating. Regardless, if you want to see more of this campaign, make sure to like this video and subscribe for more EU4 Laith!

Like the video if you think I should power through the agony and try to get the achievement. But also I'd be okay with extinguishing this dumpster fire of a concept. Suffering is inevitable with it.

reminds me of a hoi4 game I played 2 years ago. My friends played Germany and Hungary. I played Ethiopia (UMC Submod, back when it was several mods). It was absolutely agonising. When I could finally invade the British, they fucking reinforce meme'd me on almost every fucking tile, I was drunk and ended up crying. My friends have screenshots of my mental breakdown as we all had webcams on. Honestly, still the best night of my life.

@SereglothIV 8 месяцев назад

This video kinda reminds me of my last Anbennar campaign. I was playing as one of the Sun Elves and there's a scripted religious incident where other Sun Elf countries can send investigators to you. During the investigation, there's an event that makes you go to 1v1 war against the country that sent them or lose 10 legitimacy. The whole thing is pretty early in the campaign, so you're not able to fight everyone left and right yet. Losing 10 legitimacy doesn't sound that bad, but the thing is, this event can happen as many times as it wants. One year into the incident, I went from 100 to 30 legitimacy and was so angry that it just doesn't stop. But in the end it was the most fun campaign I had in Anbennar so far.

@Brakiros 8 месяцев назад

I'd just be consoling that shit I let a few bad events happen but if they spam themselves I just override the bullshit rng

@hirocheeto7795 8 месяцев назад

@@Brakiros Part of the gimmick of the Sun Elves (and a lot of nations in Anbennar) is that things are *supposed* to be bad for a bit. That's the flavor, is taking an awful position and a degraded empire and putting it back together. Many of the missions focus around that. If you just use the console to alleviate the flavor of the nation, then there's no real point in playing that nation. Might as well just play Wex or Lorent instead.

@CandleLover69 8 месяцев назад

No achievement in eu4 has vexed me more than jihad. I have done a wc run as Orissa, hisn kayfa, and even ghazimukh (didn’t finish). There is something unbelievably cursed about Najd and I don’t know what it is. On my best attempt, I conquered most of the mountains in the Middle East, but the old ottoman siege ability blew my threw eight mountain forts. I couldn’t even win attritional battles on rampart mountain forts. One of the only games I have ever rage quit tbh.
