Minor Tribe to Yazidi Great Power – Kurdistan EU5 Challenge

By 44 Comments1 Min Read



Goal: Starting as the minor tribe of Bohtan, form Kurdistan, become a theocracy, and spread Kurdish culture and the Yazidi faith as much as possible.

Rules:
Kurdish must remain our only accepted culture for the entire game (we can tolerate other cultures, but not accept them). We must also keep Kurdish as our common, court, and liturgical language.
No allies allowed at any point.

Game is played on Normal/Ironman, no mods. If you like this content, feel free to like and subscribe and support me on Patreon ( or as a YouTube Member. Thanks for watching!

    I know you most likely abandoned EU4 (as any other youtube creator), but in case you want some kind of unique challenge – try to play mostly staying as a regional power (without mindless blobbing in every direction) and using subsidies, gifts, condotierri, support rebels (and DoW with "enforce rebel demands" peace option, which is capped at 50%WS, means if you support byzantine separatists in Ottoman empire, you liberate far more than 100% WS worth of provinces for just 50% WS), like this shadow puppeteer. My elevator pitch skills suck, but you get the idea

    Every modern Paradox game be like: complex intricate mechanics that the AI is too retarded to use, late-game lag, random crashes, bugginess and shitty overcomplicated UI.

    You could also just wait for the first 2 wars to end, while you are at it create a tribal confederation and invite the sutayyid’s vassals and the other vassals and then start the war of independence, with that method you can get independence before the time you could get to monarch reform.

    Note that:
    Inviting sutayyid vassals to the confederation will prevent them from joining the war against you, and they wont be able to help you.

    But if you invite the other vassals that arent sutayyid’s (the ones more to the south) they will join the war and help you greatly

    I love the idea that Kurdistan in this timeline, despite being the 10th most powerful country, being at the crossroads of the world, and being COVERED in railroads, barely has any knowledge of Western Europe.

    I never thought I'd say these words, but god do I miss the Ottomans. I have around 100 hours so far and I'm yet to see them become any more than a regional power.

    There needs to be something to make players want to continue a run because what I see is either restart a run from devastating defeat or they win almost every single battle and make some pretty much just impervious I want to change that to having history where you can continue fighting for your state so people are not tempted to save scum that's a really hard habit to break.

    Great video! You are one of the few content creators that actually play this game to the end date. As someone with a Mac and unable to play eu5 I appreciate it so much 😄

    Excellent run, Rooo! I was very happy to see another edited video, so thanks for that.

    I did laugh when a few minutes in it seemed to be going well, and then I saw the chapter was called "First Attempt" and only had a couple more minutes left. 😆

    Really hoping they manage to solve the worst of the jank soon. It's such a good game underneath.

    If you are interested I made a mod to fix this

    It gives a debuff to assimilation when your primary culture is less than 30% of your total pops
    I've played with it and it totally fixes Mongols assimilating everyone
