Can I Survive as a Tribe on Very Hard? [EU4]

There should be an achievement called Serf's Up where you have to fully state Hawai'i as Dithmarschen

Someday i played as the Mohicans in normal (No cheats), i was so underdeveloped y technology that i needed like 13k soldiers to kill 5k european soldiers, i survived till 1750 then i stopped playing, it was so nasty that i could say that i am not playing in America again

You can drop tribal dev when they all get to 0.5, so you can make sure to maximize your tribal dev growth. It will still take the full point, so tribal dev will show as -0.5, but the soft cap (which is stupidly low) becomes a non issue and you can maximize TD growth speed.

Keep in mind that if you ever decide to try this nation or another native again, the 'Sunset Invasion' mission now gives you the High American tech group

You always gotta dec on the European colonies, the overlord will always dec if they have colonies in the region

Good effort and good vid. Maybe taking the 13 colony land could've fended off UK but France was getting you either way

I raise you Victorian Three as the most boring achievement

Wow... I can't say I've seen someone try and do an ultra relaxed Very Hard game as a native... Unsurprisingly turned out exactly as you'd expect.

My experience with No Trail of Tears (admittedly not on very hard and before the native rework) was that the best course of action was usually to full-annex newly released colonial nations. That erases all their cores, and their (former) overlords tend not to want you dead until they have some land nearby, at which point placating them becomes impossible. Note that they will immediately set about making new colonies in most cases, so this may need to be repeated. Also important to stockpile some mana as well as money before the 'westernization' so you can grab some techs on the cheap with your new institutions.

Ive been thinking on running natives for a while now, but it looks so different from any other gameplay in EU4 its kind of daunting to me.
Any advice on how to do things (in general, I might start up with Iroquois or some other achievement related tribe)

Playing natives is so boring I even fell asleep watching this video

Soo... natives are a complete mess.

Nothing new there.

Should have sold that province to France, to cause tension between England and France!

It is pretty tough as Natives. Luckily in my game, Portugal colonize Florida. I quickly annex the colonies for ending disaster

As someone with 17k hours I would never subject myself to such torment. This is foolishness

Active Post-Leviathan Native Player here - for the most fun play as one of the Muskogean culture tribes (Creek preferably since they can form the Creek nation which is generally better than a standard unified federation) Satapo and Etowah are the most enjoyable imo

Get unified warbands as soon as possible and chain war with your massive federation (since Muskogean is a HUGE culture group) up the east coast

While a good chunk of this stuff is RNG dependent i've had some runs where I own more than half of the U.S before the colonizers arrive. Stuff can snowball like crazy if you know what you're doing

Saw the ending coming from the start 🤣

This is the one game most people have once and then never again

I sent you my disaster save to your email, please see if you can help! 🫵😔

It took me 2 weeks to do this achievement. It was very boring

I think you picked the only tribe with unique missions but I’m not totally sure. I’d be happy I reformed into monarchy, rather than a republic.

Epidemics should be a very common occurrence in the game; basically if you dev up too much more the tech/institution the odds of a plague happening, which should lower dev.

After all, cities couldn't maintain their own population until modern sanitation practices were developed, in the Victorian Age

It’s pretty bad when ENGLAND AND FRANCE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING….

Video 2 of asking for very hard on xorme ai dynamic. Good luck 👍

Australia-Hungary is the most boring achievement with no doubt. You basically sit doing nothing for over a hundred years waiting to being able to leave Australia and then hopping your way over to Europe where youll most likely either fight an op Ottomans or op Austria.

The hardest part of it is to get all institutions

Repelling Europeans as the incas or aztec/mayans are not that hard since sure with a big negative modifier for development you can spawn institutions without needing to reform, however NA natives are a different breed by not being able to do it until you actually reform from a european nation, i never got into them mostly due ro rhis reason but also since wandering teibes ain't my type

Well at least there is still some challenge left in the game.

As a mountain North Carolina man, this video calls to me

sometimes you just gotta join the warband and take it to the white man

An AI fed leader can't actually integrate human players. I think the federation would just be disbanded?

The funny thing to me is how the natives are always going to be one of the most alt historical things in any EU4 game but most people will never notice. The natives were CONSTANTLY on the move and only ended up "staying" where they are these days because of European intervention (and force, lots of genocidal force) so you could have tribes from the Southwest in the Carolinas, east coast tribes in Oregon and California and most people, even Americans, couldn't tell you shit.

Ngl this video has wanted me to at least try the natives. Bought the dlc never to actually try them out
