My main actions for this big period of time - building army, techs development, BB reducing and i wait for attack of France. Army - 70 + 83 thousands. Infantry is used for rebels in america, cavalry is placed in Europe. 73 000 are situated in Guyenne, 36 - in Romagna.. Unfortunately non-europeans countries never can hire mercenaries. Techs are 14 (be built in 1-2 months)/2/2/2. France has 17th land tech, Spain and England - 15, Portugal - 16. We almost reached french army in fire stage even. Stability costs 338 ducats... Several english colonies are taken in war, i try to block all paths for new colonies.. Several spanish colonies are taken via natives.
All these time i try to build a lot of 3-5 level colonies, so they will achieve city status to the time of BB wars, so Chimu will get maximum manpower. I let some colonies to grow by 200-300 colonists by it`s natural way to save colonists. Also 1st level fortress are build in new cities, higher - not. I don`t need to waste money on fortresses - i can beat europeans without them, while number of rebels depends on fortress size.

Fast war with France. I take Artois, Brabant, Limousin, Berri, preparing to cut France on pieces (this damn AI receives 50% peace on my condition only, when i have +99%). Almost achieved 16th land tech. Reputation - very bad. Army - 71 + 92 thousands. I don`t build artillery coz it`s maintenance is too much expensive in 1.05 due the bug... Taking almost all french arctic colonies. Sending colonists to Reunion and Jacarta. Also Quatar is taken from France, easilty killed by neighbors lately.

Gascoigne is taken from England. Army - 130 + 112 thousands Army maintenance on 50% - 7.9 ducats per month. Tech investments are changed : 25% in land and trade, 50% - in infra. Stability costs 475. Alliance with Spain is over, we don`t create new one. Last preparation to first cycle of BB wars.

First war with Spain. Closer to the end they offer 20-24 provinces (mostly colonies and TP
). Finally Spain is left in whole America with 2 cities in South America, 3 - Carribean region + CoT in Sierra-Madre. Roussillon, Gerona and Cantabria becomes mine also. Got much annoyed by taking good fortress at poor provinces with a lot of attrition. Artillery was used for sieging, some assaulting were succesful... Reputation - extremly bad. Holland appeared from Saxony - very bad news. Army 92 + 114 thousands. Maintenance on 100% - 13.0 ducats per month. Stability costs 607. We are preparing for destroying the France state - there is CC until august 1619. Navy - 13 warships + 10 galleys... Also the note i`ve never built bailiffs by myself for whole game.

So, Chimu became completely bad guys and crossed BB limit line. We were so hated to get 18 wars at next month. Nobody calls for allies against other, each one wants to declare war by itself, huh.
The reason of such behavior was Chimu six years war with France, that was finished as total disaster for France (Chimu flag over Paris looked great). I couldn`t get 100% in war because of french africans cities, and they didn`t agree to give me more than 50% (their offers were total bullshit - a lot of bad provinces, colonies and TP). So i started stabhitting and could punish AI on Very hard level: Chimu made goverment failing for France, yikes ! French europeans provinces left: Paris and Cevennes.
Army 79 + 108 thousands. Maintenance on 50% - 5.5 ducats per month. Stability costs - 808 (due to domestic setting it is reduced 4x times to original ! ). Current manpower is hardly enough for current needs to rebuild army - so what i need land domestic setting for - extra income from trade and extra colonists won`t compensate me weak army and it`s losses.
So, Chimu state turned to era of BB wars in 1625 year. Well, maybe it was too late, but i was not much sure i can survive first 20 years after crossing BB line without losing provinces... At the same time major mistake of whole campaign was made - i should invase China to use it`s rebels with minimum of BB.
Techs:
Land - almost 17
Navy - 2 (30% of next done)
Trade - 2 (30% of next done)
Infra - 3 (just done)
