Makassar is "peacefully" reintegrated...

ao20.jpg


And another Chinese counter-attack

Sometimes I succeed.

Nice events there. I hope you will take those COTs in Al Kharam and Transkei, they don't belong to Europeans. Darn Makassar revolting, I hate it when I forget to crush a rebellion and it revolts. Your conversions do generally seem to have progressed well though. Spain can be a real pain to try to get accept a peace deal. If you get it over 50% that often makes them accept.
 
Are those the Dutch in Transkei?

And why is Korea still not unified?

Because Spain is in the place ? :D


:eek:o Spain, now that it has purple, shares the colour with Ayutthaya(sp?). After i took the south from Korea itself, the remainder got DoW'd y DaiViet and allies, including Ayutthaya...

it happened in 1524. Look here
 
Yeah, North Korea belonged to Ayutthaya. I remember that! But why is Spain purple?

I chenged their colour so it would be clearer who owned what in the Americas
 
Perhaps you should just take some colonies from Spain and turn them in to Han settlements around the world!

BTW, I of course expect of you at least the complete annexation of Spain before the game ends :p.

A worthy goal methinks. It will serve those surly Iberian colour-plaigerists right!
 
So very close to the start of a Chinese European empire. So very close.

I hope a few more battles and i'll be able to get military access... it should not be more than a year, if nothing goes bad.

woo a trip around the world! austria sure seems...big..

Just need to cross the Pacific. But with a 101 ships fleet led by an explorer, i take no atrition, so its quite easy.

I just might make a late-game all-front offensive.

You mean THIS is NOT an Empire???

The Chinese Navy is unbeatable! Now push for total victory! We must remove the purple menace!

Hehe, power lies in numbers. Or as Wiki players would say, my China is leaning towards a Jomian attitude :D
 
You empire is huge, I was just talking about the European part of the empire, which is about to start hopefully. :)
 
BtW, are you going to let the Manchu take over or are you going to tough it out as the Ming?
 
Tough it out, I say!
