The mighty Vijayanagar Empire lasted less than a peach schnapps on a summer day... Hopefully the French will be also defeated by the new Ming cannons.
Slightly late comment but was that Harry and Astarte doing a Kiss tribute??? It sounded a bit like it.

Whoopsie! At least Harry will have ample opportunity to try his 'special matches' again - or not: I guess the French are coming to you, rather than you having a go at France proper. And burning down their colonial holdings in Korea or India just isn't the same.
Nice job of Harry reverting to form. It was inevitable, but he still surprises with the sheer amount of auto-destruct moves he has in his arsenal.
Oh dear.
In truth I think if Harry had attempted to improve relations with France this decleration of war would likely have simply come about earlier! Hopefully Ming's cannon can do the trick. Hopefully too Shaowu continues to provide the bangs. If worst comes to worst I suppose the QM can be sent forth and carry out some of her dance moves, that will likely rather dissuade the French from invading.
You certainly did a number on Vijayanagar this time.
So, the QM is in charge of the University? Sounds like a hilarious concept, hopefully we'll hear more about that at some point.
Does anyone get the feeling France may have bitten off more than it can chew here? I have the feeling that no-one in Paris has any concept of the size of the war they've just started. Either that, or the French AI is trying for a WC.
Maybe the QM should go to France on a university exchange... She'd cause a riot in Paris!
[H – yeah, very useful, but look can you go and smooch the Brits, flash a bit of leg, you know the sort of thing]
Quality. What does it matter if they're genuine? As long as people like them. If it has 'pure 9th Century by the way' written on them in barely-settled crayon, that's good enough for me.
Poor old Harry. I think he should demand a pay rise, if only to see what the QM's reaction would be.

Fixed it for you.
Wow, looking at the warscreen, Vijayanagar really is in horrible shape. That was a worryingly full French transport fleet though...
LOL'd at the etiquette class part!
Excellent stuff, wonderfully amusing as ever.
A very good strategy to keep Britain at bay. If the QM flashed any leg near me I'd certainly run for the hills!
Although it has to be said that not only is her university proving hugely useful, her peakrakens have foiled the French navy at every turn and she seems to be advising Shaowu well, embarassing episodes as court aside. Whilst in comparison the usually assured Astarte is most certainly struggling. Kudos to the QM, I certainly didn't think I'd ever read of her saving the nation rather than imperilling it!
More general competency from the Queen Mother? I'm afraid now, very afraid - this just goes against the natural order of things and I don't know how to react to that.
So far, the tussle with France seems to be going okay. You're holding off their inadequate fleets and no troops have made it to your territories yet. Keep it up and they're bound to tire of this war sooner or later, right? Just a matter of getting some war score, sink some of their ships for war exhaustion... Surely they'll accept a White Peace sooner or later?
I'm at page 6 and I must say that the AAR is great! It also looks like China is a bit better balanced in DW than in other EUIII versions because of the faction mechanics.
