maybe you should start conquering toward Ming? ;)
Please?

First I will reach France. Then I'll go to Ming.

Edited: If I defeat Muscowy, then my first objective will be completed. :D

9. Last Stronghold of Russians

To subjugate last russian principality, we attacked Muscowy in the christian year 1478.

After routing last Russian army, we captured Moscow, thus ending last resistance. Long live our Khagan!

Our next goal is destroying eastern Europe, a barrier between us and western Europe. In the christian year 1479 we have done our first step.

Soon after Polotsk became our vassal.

Lithuania weakened as Ukraine declared indepedence.

Next we declared war against Poland and their allies.

First victim is Lithuania and we captured Smolensk.

Second victim Poland agreed to end vassalization of Pommerania.

10. Second objective began! (1484-1494)

---UPDATING---

Now Russians united under our banner, it's time for Eastern Europeans. First one is of course our former ally Ukraine.

Grabbing lands from Ukraine is necessary for our future expansion.

As the Lithuanians defeated we took from them gold (ducats). Every nomads liked gold. :D

3312604489_42ed73a3f0_o.jpg

After our truce expired, we again declared war against Ukraine and Lithuania.

3313435722_95fdc34819_o.jpg

Received two bad news. 1-st: We have seen first time pirates. 2-nd: Austria becomes stronger.

3312610119_5063037fa7_o.jpg

Ukraine joins our elite vassal nations' group.

3313440464_85c83b7124_o.jpg

Our future enemy France has been excommunicated.

3313443408_f5d981ba3f_o.jpg

Lithuania closer to become our vassal.

3312617453_cc306ba197_o.jpg

In order to defend our next vassal, we declared war upon Poland.

11. No Khagan lives forever.

In christian year 1495, our Khagan died in the battle against Poland. The Polish army was so powerful, so after the battle we left our fallen brothers in Trakai.

3315288283_6a6f8b8a13_o.jpg

Finally our first lost war is now over.

3315293101_cf1ac70336_o.jpg

But we're still powerful enough to subjugate Lithuanians!

3315294793_fbe4dce884_o.jpg

And this is achieved in 1497.

3315296251_58979dede0_o.jpg

More nice to hear news.

3315297653_4ce38ba860_o.jpg

However our Khagan destined to live short life. Long live Khagan Mahmud I!

Yep. Currently I'm fighting with England and having hard time. Our 10000 vs 10000 their total win. Our 10000 vs 5000 moderate loss and our win. One thing I noticed is their morale is 50% more than ours.

Edited: Do I have to annex Ukraine? And why?

I think about Ukraine there are pros and cons to vassalisation.
Pro is that they can be a buffer to potentially strong European nations, as strong as you mentioned, and if most are poor provinces, there's no reason to want them straight away.
 
Well that's certainly good to have Lithuania broken and subjugated. Now to move onto the next enemy. How are the revolts going from the change of khagan? Also can we get a post of the political map of the region?

Yeah, I was also expecting a map here to see your empire.
