1 Dec – Cores are all done:

North Konkan – The Marathi Sunni people here are north and up the coast from Chaul, and are under religious zeal for another 10 years. The tropical hills here are at 10 development and 4 taxbase, with folks making cloth. 13.3 unrest, 36.6 auto, they make 0.33 gold, and 250 manpower, 4.9 trade power. It’s south of Surat, and inland are Pune (Bah) and Baglana (now Malwa)


Surat – With 21 development, including 8 taxes, this Gujarati Sikh province is a tropical grasslands. Silk is made and sold here in this Center of Trade. It features a Temple, Marketplace, and Workshop, and it has 9.1 unrest, 46.6 auto, and makes 1.26 gold for us monthly, wit 303 manpower and 46.8 trade. Its north of North Konkan, south of Baroda, and iinland is Baglana


Baroda – We saved the Hindu folk here, as the Gujarati folk here are tropical grasslands as well, with 14 development, 6 tax, and a workshop and temple here. I order a marketplace here as well, because this place also sells and makes silk. 0.99 gold, despite its 6.9% unrest, 46.6 autonomy, and 201 manpower, 6.6 trade power. Baroda is exposed a bit, so I have my army here. Next to it is the capital of Gujarat, and two Malwa provinces Baglana and Rewakantha.


The Gujarat provinces are very wealthy. I intend to move into here when I can’t hit Bahmanis. Our treaty with them is good through 1558.
