Part XIII. Facing tough challenges.
"If you cut a face lengthwise, urinate on it, and trample it with straw sandals, it is said that the skin will come off. This was heard by the priest Gyojaku when he was in Kyoto. It is information to be treasured."
The events of the first decade of the 18th century are ominous indeed. Revolts in Kuala Lumpur (the first of their kind anywhere for over a century), the failed attempts to initially recapture it, the unexpected death of the emperor in 1704 and of a virulent plague in 1707 cause much consternation across the empire. In 1709, regardless of these omens, the Japanese Empire declares war on their Mongol neighbours. Immediately the armies are sent northwards across Irrawday and via an amphibious assault on the Ganges (Fig. 46). During this war the Persians take advantage of the inoccupation of Cambodia and send a small group of families to settle in the desolate region.
The war in the north goes, initially, very well as during mid-1710 both Ganges and Howrah fall. The occupation of Patna and Allahbad soon follow and although the army is utterly annihilated shortly afterwards (Fig. 47) the Japanese are able to secure Irrawady by treaty (Fig. 48) before the Mughals can recapture the ganges and horah provinces. It is a close run thing and the Japanese are lucky to enforce such a treaty on the mughals. Troubling news was reported a few years later with unopposed russian expansion into Siberia (Fig. 49) and with the rebellion of New Spain in Central America.

Too bad it doesn't look like you'll be able to fight your way into a major European war or two at this rate. I'd like to see how a pagan country with a human at the reins fared versus the European majors.
The opening was really funny (hrm, like bizarre humour), you should write a plot driven story Languish, I am convinced that it would be a great story.
However this is also great writing and game playing, nice update.

Shock. Horror. I am alive.
I had some transitional times between laptops and during this time EU1 had to be uninstalled. I decided during this time to remove the Nippon savegame because i was having no fun at all at that stage in the game. I had met my match, was unable to explore (or do anything about it when i could), and was thus exhausting all opportunitys.
I probably could have made myself a colonial power (by editing the files) but i decided at the start of the game that i didnt want to. Perhaps if i had i would have finished this game.
