Great progress so far! Even if it is rather 'inventive'!
Thanks for your kind words also.
Honestly, every time I think I've got a solid game plan and know what I'm doing, I discover a little bit in the game that prevents me from doing it, as if paradox knew what I would try to do. Things aren't so much inventive as the are "made up on the fly"
Crazy, mad, insane! I'll show you all!
Glad to have you
Ryukyu is the only Japanese nation not involved in the Shogunate system as far as I'm aware. There is no way to become a shogunate unless through some miracle you can become one through rebels or revolutionary war. But by becoming Japan you would no longer be eligible for the achievement.
This is quite the AAR. Following
Cheers!
Thanks. No idea how far away that "the end" is. It certainly won't be in 3 days like the last time.
Honestly, Ming falling apart was a massive blow to me. As Ryukyu, you don't want Ming losing any territory to anyone for as long as you trade through their node.
And I adore that name. If I could roll back the clock I would make The Iron Mountains this AAR name. Perhaps a kind passing Moderator could do such a favour.
If only the real Ryukyu got this many followers

You may be a prophet. From what I've seen Spain are having exactly those problems.
On with the game! I continue to give my pagan friends some territories to grow for me. Cherokee finish off three of them and I take them back, before giving them 2 new ones to foster. Interestingly, the colonies still grew under my occupation without me paying for them. This may come in handy for future colonial wars.
I marched and sailed around Spain's lands to see how they are doing. Frighteningly well is the answer but they are also periodically waging wars of reconquest on France and getting well and truly nailed for it despite strong allies. I never thought I'd be cheering on the BBB but I'm hoping they can keep Spain in check for me. I also finish bringing the Mayans into the fold. It seems that you can demand all of their land AND more so long as you have a discount on your reasons to go to war, which thankfully I have because, hey, what else are those DIP points going to be spent on?
A quick look at the map just to get things in perspective.
Immediate goals are to seal off all areas for European colonies and to gain strength. Overextension is going to be a killer but I really need to get conquering.
It's 1530. There are 290 years left with which to conquer...about 1700 provinces?
