Cavalry 2.0

Today we embark on a theory crafting campaign of Eu4 where we stack Cavalry Combat Ability, so that you can get the best cavalry Eu4 has to offer.

Catch me on Twitch where I play Eu4 MP:

enjoy!

Fun fact: after testing further, unlike other modifiers that dis-appear right away, Boyars actually need a day to pack up their bags and go home: so technically you can achieve that combat ability for all of one day, which means very technically you can use that for the highest technically possible CA, but no in practice they do leave after the flip, sorry about that.

And then, the winged hussars arrived.

with the mughal diwan you gain also some bonuses from cultural assimatlation :
+20% Cavalry flanking ability from Evenki
+10% Cavalry combat ability from Levantine

and most importantly −15% Cavalry cost from tatar

Significant problem with the Pomeranian mission for the cav combat ability, you can only get it if you are married to poland, allied to poland, poland is your subject, or poland has 120 opinion of you.

So you will need to form Pomerania before forming poland. So you will either need to keep Poland as a subject before forming Pomerania, or you will need to keep them friendly while you conquer pomerania.

The Subject route is probably easier.

There is also 10% cca that you can get as a general trait

You should do average monarch lifespan next, it would be cool to see how old your king can get.

I just did a Zaporizhia run and it's so broken.. With the free manpower that you dont even need you can run all your monuments while obligerating your enemies. Lots of fun

[rogofos]

"cavalry combat ability" stopped sounding like real words

[kaiserbusiness]

Didn't know about this side of Machiavelli, he's an eu4 enjoyer too?

I discovered your channel by chance, new sub. I like your way of narrating and your editing is quite good. With these small but interesting and fun videos I got the mood to play EU4 again after abandoning it for a while, so I'll try new strategies, RP or something like that. It's great to see that the community remains active, even though sometimes it seems a little forgotten, greetings from Chile, good man! :D

[taravanopstal]

so proud that you updated your subscriber count at the start of the video when asking for the like <3
I also really like the updated visuals of the counter!

[adrodelgado]

well at this point you deserve a new sub

If lemoncake ever takes over the world there will be mass rebellions over his upload schedule

At this point any enemy army will immediatly melt upon setting sight on such godly cavalry

[steveminero]

You can push it further if on your way to form mughals form timurids which actually once in their mission tree you can take horde ideas) and conquering both ottomans and mamluks give you 10% permanent, also mughals integration mechanics give you another 10% if you have russia conquered, you can also become emperor of china and get the standard flags for another permanent 10%

[beefyblom]

This is basically the opposite of the "making shock damage optional" video



Vid 2 of requesting maximum war exhaustion reduction rate and/or maximum manpower recovery rate

[zacharykrastowicz]

I think you can get a little higher through Teutons to Poland because Teutonic order has a mission for +15% permanently, and gets to keep the boyars - landed army.

The route you went ends up at 150% permanently since you dont get to keep boyars, where with Teutons You could get up to 165% (you trade Sich Rada bonus for the Boyars landed army bonus but also get a mission).

The rest of the rout is correct though - you need all the rest of those modifiers. You'd have to snake to Teutonic order from Great Horde for horde ideas (or you can get them from holy horde?)

[KFP_Prophet]

You can also get a gov reform that turns your generals into rulers, name a general "something timurid", get him in power, flip to a sunni monarchy and form timurids for the timurid missions.

Hello, great video as always, yet I believe upon forming Rajoutana and/or Mughlas the Cossack estate would disappear, no?
