19 May – Malacca is annexed by Pasai


Hmmmm


Is it wrong to peacefully annex a Hindu nation and then immediately convert them to Catholicism and change their culture to ours? Ah well. I send Missionaries to Madura and Blambangan. I also got a couple of ships and 5k troops we are updating.

Now, have I allowed this dynasty to veer off course into the Indies overly much and not worrying about stuff like Africa? I mean, I get colonially, but I am spending badboy fighting Tidore and Ternate. Is that really what I want to keep doing?

Alright, no more wars abroad why I still have Africa to deal with. I have the nations north, the Horn,and all of that. Knock this crap off.

Portugal is now threatened by us, and allies with Castile. So I ally with them. I’ll slowly lose the Austrian tether.

I’ve been missing wars here, like a battle between Kilwa and Mombasa I could have helped with.

26 Aug – Royal Marriage with Portugal

29 Aug – I grant Portugal military access

1 Sept – New Tech

Naval 20 – costs 613, Naval Professionalism, better trade range and efficiency

So let’s take about advances a bit. Here’s what we are making:

5/12/6

We have Dip as my national focus for when I needed ot pump it up for Printing Press. So I move my national focus to Admin like normal, and we are at…

8/9/6

Now let’s math that – We get 12x8 (96)x9(108)andx6(72) annually. So I needed roughly 3 years to get enough DIP to get that level 20. Now we’ll need around 6. The next is 649. We are in a good place for tech moving forward.
