The Restoration of Sukhothai Chapter Fourteen – The Elephant Joins
1 Feb – I claim another province in Lan Xang on our border
We are now the trade leader in Tropical Wood.
Our power behind the throne passes. Another rises to help after her – her young 15 year old nephew. Like the rest of the family, they will not be known to history.
6 Apr – We kill the rebels.
7 May – We retake Panuranga.
2 Mar, 1505 – My rivals that aren’t Bengal are no longer valid, so I choose Vijayanagar
21 June – I send a Missioanry to Hue.
1 Oct – Rebellion in Tay Nguyen
22 Oct – Put down
1 April 1506 – I claim another holding in Lan Xang on the border.
1 Nov – Rebellion in Hue.
22 Nov - Ended
1 Feb, 1507 – I order a Farming Manufactory in Kratie
1 April – Our Admin advisor passes. I head to my estates. I ask for a level 3 Theologian who will increase my ADM by 3 monthly as well as drop my rebellion stuff. It’s half off the cost and upkeep too. I ca only do this if our support is high enough, and only once every 40 years.
22 May – All of my holdings are now cored and been incorporated officially into Sukhothai.
1 June – The local Buddhists in Hue have realized they were following the wrong path, and are now Theravada, I send these to Tay Nguyen
I promote the Cham culture to an accepted one
2 Mar, 1508 – A new monastery is being dedicated and I gain 10 karma after spending a little cash to make nice
19 Aug – Tay Nguyen converts! They understand the bliss of Great Buddha
We send these Missionaries to Panduranga
1 Sept – Malacca keeps marching on the island from Pasai and won another war there.
1 Feb, 1509 – Workshop for Chaiyaphun
15 Mar – I claim another holding of Lan Xang’s.
1 Jan, 1510 – I order a Workshop in Prey Nokor
6 April – We announce the A1nnexation of Ayutthaya into our great realm!
This will take around 6 years, require a diplomat the entire time, and drain some DIP monarch power each month
27 June – We convert Paduranga to the Buddhist Way. Next? Indrapura
10 July – Champa joins our nation as a vassal!
I get a Mission filled that I have subjects, and our dip annexation cost is cut massively. Good timing. It’s almost like I timed them to fire off together. (I did)
1 Aug – I get an event and I choose to lose prestige for Karma
1 Feb, 1511 – Lan Xang is badly losing a war.
11 Feb – Our ruler passes
Our new ruler is Leuthai III, an even 4/4/4 ruler with the Zealous trait
We renew vows with Ayutthaya, Champa, Pegu and Taungu
Champa again provides our new Queen,
1 Sept – Our military advisor passes and we hire a new Grand Captain.
1 Dec – Mong Mai defeats Lan Xang, takes some of their provinces north of us, releases Dai Viet, and drops them to just two holdings.
1 March, 1512 – Indrapura converts! Next? Kratie
Oh, and we’ve finished one task of the Age of Reformation
Let’s do another. I reach out to our vassal, Champa, and they agree to change their faith to Buddhist. I spend 40 prestige to make nice with them
That’ll give me two tasks.
That has two benefits.
1. It will speed up our achievements of Age only abilities
2. If I get three in an Age, I can declare a Golden Age that lasts 50 years
1 Dec, 1512
Are you ready?
Admin Tech 10 –
I can get another group of ideas!
I choose Exploration. I have saved up some DIP.
We take Quest for the New World. I order my fleet to berth from protecting trade
I then take Colonial Ventures. We now have colonists
We also unlocked a Sukhothai idea –
Father Governs Children – We get -1 national unrest
I recruit an Explorer and hand them a fleet of 6 Early Carracks. I’ll send them first into the Indies
1 Jan, 1513 - I chose Native Extermination policy.
25 June – First exploration is finished. I’ll keep it up.
19 July – Kratie converts! Next is Chiang Taeng and that’s our last one that hasn’t seen the light of Buddha.
1 Sept – I order a Farm Estate in Kukarinor Surin
29 Oct – Another expedition heads out
7 Jan, 1515 –
A busy day!
We finish integration and the Elephant has wisely chosen to join us. You can see that we are going to be granting a request and gaining stuff there, as well as a Mission completed to build a grand navy.
