Sweboy - In HttT a country can add neighbours to its sphere of influence by spending prestige. I can't remember if size also matters.
gabor - Well, your AAR was definitely an inspiration to get Minister Mute a chatty wife
JDMS - I don't think an AI Japan would be of great help against Ming either.

Johan11 - So you didn't like his wife being Chate?
Habballa - Thanks and welcome! As Malurous points out, the mod I'm using is Strannik's Hand-Drawn Map. I should indicate it in the first post.
thrashing mad - Thanks and welcome! We can only hope. I'm absolutely certain this Mali won't do as well as yours

EUROO7 - Give the AI some credit - at least one should survive...
King_Richard_XI - Thanks and welcome! On we go!
