My The first Toungoo Empire, achievement ranked VH on wiki, but I suppose should be lower.
This was my 2nd attempt. First was lost by not being able to annex on time a vassal. AE penalty and forced vassalisation penalty make it hard to reach +190 relation.
And later I realised that the same dynasty gives +15 relation. So the second attempt I placed relative on Pegu's throne, so I was able to annex on time.
Conguests started late, I took Prone ca. 1470, 1474 I added 4 Avan provinces. Later it steamrolled.
My preferable ally LanXiang did very weak, Bengal completely collapsed early to orissa, koch, tripura, arakan. Luckily I managed to befriend everyone's favourite "I will marry and ally everyone" nation and Jaunpur really helped a lot in the most important war against Arakan+Orissa+Ayuttayah+LanNa.
Conquest finished 1492, from 1489-1497 annexing Pegu.
What next? Taungu ideas scream for WC, but I am not sure if I want another one
But the color and missions are so nice....
Oh..
Ming lost first war against Oirat with the event, but did not collapse
and later did reconquest. So ming after Manchu can still do well
