How to beat Sirhind as Delhi every time

1. While paused move your army to Panipat
2. Go to estates and give the last province to the Rajputs
3. Recruit 2 rajput units
4. Recruit a rajput general
5. Build two cavalry and two infantry
6. Ally Sindh and Mewat. Sindh for the unit count (and making the enemy walk really far away) and Mewat as they'll immediately run into combat when the war starts in later steps
7. Get all your units into one army stack in Panipat. Their army should be in Samana, their second army will spawn in Sirhind
8. Ally anyone else you want, it doesn't matter if you go over ally limit as you can always break later. I allied Kangra and Nagaur just for the extra men
9. When the event kicks off pause the game and rush your stack into the 6k army that spawns in Sirhind, the other army never reinforced every time I tried this and I wiped their army with my Rajput general who should be a 2 star general
10. Rush for the provinces on the border of Multan, if they declare war on Sirhind they can't get anything if you hold those provinces
11. With your allies proceed to beating Sirhind's face in, if Multan declares and they like you then they might give you one of your cores back (they gave me Doaba after the occupied Lahore and Doaba)
12. Take all their provinces in the peace deal if you can, if you can't then leave one province in the middle of your country surrounded and take it in a quick second war.

That should work, worked every time for me. Only issues would be not rushing those Multan cores quick enough or not getting a good rajput general somehow. If so restart and it should work the second time. (Unless RNG REALLY hates you)

If wanting to play as "Delhi", I personally rather just use Sirhind and fight Delhi.

You get a much better ruler and a great starting general(use him sparingly if you can and dont have him as a commander AT ALL during peace time)

Not only do you already start with more starting troops but you also get 6 additional free starting troops when the event triggers for you to wage war which usually happens pretty quickly and in most cases will trigger before Delhi gets an ally, and those troops will bring you right to your force limit saving you 60 ducats to use for other things.

You get Less AE at the start for wiping out Delhi then you would as Delhi wiping out Sirhind allowing you to gain more land from other nearby forces sooner rather then later.

Then as soon as you do wipe them out, you can easily reform and become Delhi youself instantly

You also inherit their other vassal if you dont take their land as well,

So in the end you still end up as Delhi but your a much better Delhi with more starting money since you didnt need to recruit any troops, which also nets you more leftover manpower in the end, have less AE with other forces after that first war allowing for faster early conquest, and a Better ruler who has 3 great starting traits.

Yes but this post was about how to beat Sirhind as Delhi rather than which one is better to play as. The reason I posted it was people were talking about the Emperor of Hindustan achievement:

"Emperor of Hindustan
Starting as Delhi, Restore their Empire's borders."

And were saying that they couldn't beat Sirhind, as you need to *start* as Delhi. So I decided to post my way of beat Sirhind that had worked for me every time so far

that is so much more complicated than it needs to be, this is how I do it.

I have done it everysingle time I tried to play Delhi and it is a simple 1 step. ally Chagatai and you are golden.

I have done this 5 times so far, worked every time

Or Bengal (get royal marriage day 1 and then alliance 1 month later)

Plus Bengal can help you anytime you wish without needing favors against Jaunpur by offering them land

Write your own post helping people who are struggling then :D I saw people posting online that they couldn't do it so I gave them a step by step guide on how to do it.
