EU4 1.31 Bengal Guide - The Richest Nation in India?

Watching these videos a year later is interesting to see whats different from later updates

Started my bengal game with an estate mission to take 1 of 5 Provences from jaunpur getting claims on them all. It was a Good start

Bengal -> Nepal -> Telugu culture shift = OP

Good video. There is an important aspect of Bengal stacking Taxation increase from Ideas that operate on a percentile. This makes Mosques particularly relevant as an initial base economic structure that yields considerable wealth without competition.

No, the richest nation in India is me after stealing all their land and money as the Mughals

Thanks for playing my Homeland

Bengal is very powerful! I recently had a run where I completed Bengal mission tree, then formed Delhi, then completed their mission tree, formed Hindustan and completed their mission tree as well! It was a great experience, Indian region is one of the most interesting to play in.

I literally died when he called koch , 'kok'.

Being a Bengali myself good to see someone playing as Bengal

nice guide! Bengal is my favorite nation and I usually attack Orissa on day 1 and full annex them, which gets me all his vassals as well. Out of 18 games I played with Bengal (single and multiplayer), Arakan allied Ayuthaya every single time, so I dont think theres a high likelihood for these 2 to not ally at the start.
Also, Bengal can easily form Nepal (finish the mission tree first tho). Also, if you want to flip Hindu, finish the one mission that has a piety requirement because that requirement doesnt change and it becomes impossible for you to achieve and you wont get some pretty nice bonuses.

In my Bengal game I went for complete supremacy of the Rajputs. I gave them all my land I could spare and made the super buff

The one thing I will say is that Hindu formable is wayyy better than Sunni formable. I think flipping Hindu late to form it then flipping back is best, Hindustan ideas just don't compare

What about religious ideas? Won't it help a lot to have 75% AE for all not Sunni nations around you?

There is a common myth that the 15 % Art. Damage from Backrow mean a flat Damage increase of 30 %. This is wrong, 15 % Damage means 15 % Damage.

Control over Monetary Policy? Why?

The Bengal tiger achievement has to be the easiest Indian achievement besides the two families, because once the ball gets rolling you don't care about ae.

Third time you release guide the day after I play nation XD

The way you pronounce Jains is extremely funny to me, great guide!

বেশ ভালো লাগলো তোমার গাইডটি দেখে

Bengal with sikh religion - bad or not?

I was reading earlier about mysore sultan resistance of British colonialism so i decided to look this nation on eu4 and it has op ideas an overlooked gem

Could swapping Buddhist be worth it as Bengal with all them amazing monuments for that religion in the region?

Tall bengal is fun. High valued farmlands for days.

I just played one game with bengal to do the bengal tiger achievement and fml it is broken, great trade node, great expansion routes, close to many monuments, many weak nations to vassalize and some mid-size to bully and expand into. Just broken.

your pronunciations crack me up. Its "Janes" not "Jah-yanes"

Could you do a Orissa guide??

Dude, As a Benghal I had 30 income in 1465 and 60 income in 1490. So you are definitelly doing something wrong and I wouldn't call it a good guide as it appears to be not that rich...
Also found a bit of controversy so the RedHawk doesn't actually know what he is doing:
At the beginning of the video:
- I'm not using debase currency and sunni religion ability to lower corruption, because we are rich and have enough money;
Few years later after war with Bahmani:
- Well I have few loans but who cares ?

Another great starting move as Bengal is declaring war on Orissa on the 11th to full annex them and take all of their subjects

Great guide, Red! Always enjoy playing as Bengal. How do you feel about converting Bengal, as to exploit the nearby GPs?

You should do custom nation guides on what is the best ideas, locations and features of the nation; and to add to it, the best ways to complete the custom nation achievements

Fezzan guide pls

Do you recommend trade companying the burma region considering how much govcap is needed to own India?

Stab up! for prosperity!

I love your guides I used them to play as vijayanager and now I have a global empire a booming economy and a army of 100k men I earn 70 ducats per month

please show us how do you look like sweetheart

I prefer to full annex Orissa at the start, and steal their subjects... got some trouble going eastward , they were allied to some big allies , then Ming rivalled me... bad move for them , but the first war was .. intense

You can always form Hindustan, convert to Sikh, and with Religious Ideas, Deus Vult everyone.

Where are you from? My guesses are Turkey because of your accent, or maybe India because of the unusual way you pronounced Koch lol. I think you mentioned before that you enjoyed playing in India too.

Please make a QQ guide. They're a very interesting nation and have a kind of difficult start with the rebel situation

You should do a guide on one of the Japanese daiymo

Nice guide as usually, buuuuut would you consider making one for Granada?

Take a shot every time he says of course

Laughs from Calcutta, Bengal.

I'd like to see a guide to Korea.

something I'd like to see if its not too hard is what the end goal looks like at the end of ur game but that may be much

Vijay is richer, but Bengal gets rich faster i guess? Its like Netherlands vs France. France is Richer but netherlands dominates until 1630.

Can you do the hre vassal strat for A 2 Z Burgundie?

Jaunpour was Sunni which you could have atacked but didn’t

Can we have a Q and A? Or can we know where you are from? I can't guess where the accent is from and its making me angry
