The Restoration of Sukhothai Chapter Twenty-Nine – Spreading Buddha
1 Dec – Lesser Namaqualand with Livestock!
5 Dec – Conversion by Makassar – next is Palopo
2 April, 1585 – We pass a colonial extension in Parliament for some additional colonists and growth. I send these colonists to Xhosa, which is up the coast from Graaff-Reinet, it’s in the same state as the others, but it’s a gamble. 3 dev in the mountains, with 7000 natives, but it also has a decent chance at Gems, Gold, etc.
1 May – Expansion Idea #3 – Settler Growth improves by +20.
1 June – We claim another province n Ava
1 Aug – We embrace Colonialism! This institution means our cost for tech drops
Let me show you how:
The base cost of DIP TECH 12 is 600 dip power. Now? It’s just 448, but it was almost double that.
I spend it – Our naval morale increases by 0.40
Next? #13 is also normally 600, but it dropped to 462. I take it and I can upgrade to Brigs.
I am only 3 years away from tech 14, which gives me Trade Stations.
MIL TECH 14 – We can build better forts, and have improved cavalry
19 Sept – I have finished off the natives in Xhosa
16 Oct – Palopo converts and next is Brunei herself
1 Mar, 1586 – Our military adviser passes. I hire a Army Reformer
2 April – Another claim in Borneo comes our way
1 May –
Swellendam – Gems here, 7 dev, Steppes, I order a workshop here, they send us 0.56, Thai and Buddhist.
I send these colonists to Sumba – in a state I’ve developed, already cleared of natives, and waiting for us
1 June –
Graaff-Reinet – Steppes, 6 dev, livestock, I order a Farm Estate here, Thai/Buddhist, 0.33 made here monthly for our cause
1 Aug – Rebellion in Brunei
12 Aug – No longer
17 Aug –
We declare war on Ava. Both of my adjacent forces move to their capital and their fort
29 Aug – We defeat their army in their capital
9 Sept – Their fort fell and I push into their ally’s land
8 Oct – I defeat their force in Mong Kawng
22 Dec – I capture Mong Kawng’s capital
25 Dec – We capture the capital of Ava
08 Feb, 1587 – We have captured every province, and routed every army for both Ava and Mong Kawng
11 Feb – Mong Kawng become my vassal and are out of the war.
We can annex Ava off the board. I do so
Kale – Ivory, next to us and Bengal (the name changed from Kalemyo), 7 dev, Jungle, Chin culture, Theravada, temple and workshop, with a 0.13 heading to us
Tabayin – where my army is in the center, Cotton and grasslands, 9 dev, Burmese and Theravada Buddhists, sending us 0.05.
Mong Yang, Copper mines, Jungle, 9 dev, fort, Workshop, Theravada, Shan culture, 0.14 made right now
All three are next to Bengal
