I send my merchants to the Filipino Center of Trade and Malacca. I also have range to Canton, the Moluccas, and Siam.


I send spies to begin to work on a spy network next door in Maguindanao.


I send my fleet to protect trade in the Philippines.

I offer a Royal Marriage (RM) to Tondo, a northern three-province Hindu power.


I move off pause.


14 Nov – We enter into the alliance and the Royal Marriage offer was accepted.

12 Dec - I send a RM offer to Maynila.

Alliances –

Sulu and Brunei and Cebu

Cebu and Tondo

Us and Madyas

Madyas and Kutai next to Brunei on Borneo


Maguindanao and Ternate

Maynila and Tondo


16 Dec – We get a RM offer from Makassar, and I accept. We now have a new queen, Cinta.

14 Jan, 1445 – I send relations improvement to Kutai as a potential alliance partner later

1 Feb – With my upgraded taxes, trade, I am now getting enough for an advisor. I pick up a level one advisor who helps my admin investment. I am getting around 1.01 gold monthly from trade, and that’s a big investment opportunity for me.

I sent my merchant to Canton from Malacca and am steering trade to the lucrative Philippines. I get more money steering trade to my guy there than I do fighting over scraps out there.

Even after hiring my advisor I am making around 0.98 gold/month.


1 May – I convert my leader to a general, assign him to my army, and begin drilling to improve them.

18 Sept – Maguindanao fabricated claims on my territory.


6 oct – I recall my diplomat from Maguindanao and order a fabrication on their capital province. I now have a claim on Lanao

19 Oct – Cebu fabricated a claim on us.

I order my guy into Cebu to work on building up a local spy network there


Nov 12 – Our ruler has unfortunately gained the “Babbling Buffoon” trait.


Nov 25 – We enter into a RM with Kutai
