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.

Alliances –

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.
