China, it seems, prior to my latest batch of wars... has alread swallowed up Dai Viet and allied with Ayutthaya. This will prove no use to them in my next installment which will be uploaded later tonight. From there on, without any colonial dynamism, and probably limited to either eradicating european influence in the region, conquering the indian subcontinent or perhaps even a combination of the two… things may either be very boring or rather dramatic. Let's hope for the latter

A big objective would be to annex Persia.
Haven't taken a look at your AAR's before now, Languish, and I must say I really like your style! Those figures are masterful, its tempting to copy that technique, but I'll probably manage to behave myself. I'll follow this one as it's just recently started.

Thanks for the compliments Ulyanov... they are very gratefully appreciated and as for the style... i wanted to do something "unique" whilst allowing me to play games quickly and thus keep the personal enjoyment going at the same time.
Thanks for dropping by

Nothing is to big for the great Nippon Empire
Part IX. The Dawn of a New Empire.
"Until one reaches the age of forty it is better to put off wisdom and discrimination and excel in vitality. According to the person and the rank, though a person has passed the age of forty, if he has no vitality, he will get no response from others."
In February 1623 the final war against China is undertaken. The gradual erosion of chinese territory, and indeed prestige, was almost complete. Tokugawa Iemitsu led the main thrust of the attack into Chinese Indo-China (Fig. 29) quickly capturing Hanoi (1623), Tang Noah (1624) before spending the next two years finishing off the conquest of that region. During 1624 beijing once again fell and the emperor, Hsi Tsung Chu Yü-chiao, brutally executed. The was followed by the closure of Japan, and all its chinese holdings, to the incresingly frequent european visitors to the region.
The last major battle, after the fall of the remaining north chinese holdings, was fought on the island of Hainan. A large 46,000 strong Chinese Imperial army awaited the determined and ever advancing Japanese forces in the region. It was however a futile gesture and not a single man was to leave the island alive. The province was to fall shortly afterwards. In mid 1629 the last chinese province of Fukien falls and the ancient empire that was china is annexed to the glory of the empire of Japan. Despite the annexation of their former masters the ayutthaya warlords begin their rampage through northern indochina. Despite numerical superiority they met with Japanese forces in Hanoi where they are comprehensively beaten. In fear for their own lands they quickly settle for peace. The new empire of Japan is indeed a rising one.

After China i feel pretty confident however my troops have honestly never faced truly powerful [european] competition yet.
Whoa, what the heck happened to that province in the middle of what used to be Ayutthaya? did you reduce the population that much?

That was done by China in there wars with Dai Viet... and ayutthaya, in their incursions in 1629, must have pushed them over the edge...
I have no colonists to "clean it up" unfortunately.
I think they conquered the vietnamese in one big war that i completely missed. I was probably building up for the next war with china at that time...
Heh, I would've had more faith in the Nipponese Intelligience Services than that! How can you expect to conquer an enemy if you don't know what areas are within their borders!

When you are busy, as i am sure you are familiar with, constructing armies with over 50,000 troops a piece watching what's happening elsewhere has a nasty habit of going away...

Nice writing and playing Languish
Thanks!
I have played a few more installments, and if I hadnt developed Land:11, it would have been extremely boring. I am however very glad I didnt give myself colonial dynamism. There are quite a few nations who don’t have it, and rightly so. Nippon is one of these
i still wonder how you'll fair against Spain and the Dutch.
Kinda unfair for you to conquer the far east, only to be embarrased by a 5k Spanish Army.

We so far (two installments away) i have discovered most of their holdings in south east asia [and thus there capitals]... but have not yet come into conflict.
I too worry about the eventual outcome of such a battle...
