2:00 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the amount of mandate you get from each individual tributary scales up with how much total development said tributary has, and this is why you don't make OPM tributaries as Ming.

I rarely play in the China region, but some time ago i started as a jurchen tribe into Qing. The amount of tributaries i got from picking the exploriation ideea (for the coloniser) is astounding. By the time i unified China for the achievement, i had around 70 tributaries. Ofc, if i cared, i could have gone for more, but it got boring.

Sorry Laith, they patched out Minghals. Not sure if it works, but I just looked over the Wiki and it SEEMS like you can form Aotearoa as Ming, but I don't know if that works. Might be a fun playthough tho ;P

[@JaddarJexiszuir]

I think there's an option to disable end-game tags, but it turns off achievements

[@goksir5845]

Minghals is still possible, but it's slightly more roundabout! Basically, conquer Kyrgyzstan or anywhere else with the appropriate mughal cultures as well as Delhi, pick exploration ideas, expel Kyrgyz people to Australia, then hand all your provinces to your colonial subject except your capital and releaseplay as them. This is not possible in the americas since none of the provinces directly connect to the old world by seatile border, but australia has direct seatile connections all the way up to china through the phillipines, sulawesi and papua.

[@pileofcheese5017]

diplo annex (DA) cost is also modified by admin eff (AEf), and all power costs (APC). Which means you can get another 10% if you get yourself to 100 inno, and another 10% from a golden age. The APC modifier is multiplicative with DA cost modifiers tho, so you get cost*(0.5 from DA)*(0.8 from APC) = 40% of cost, and not just cost*(0.3 from DA + APC) = 30% of cost. AEf is multiplicitive with that, again, so at 50% AEf, you cut those costs in half, again.

I had one good Ming game, before they updated tributary states. I used the Force Tributary CB as a way to take a bunch of land, I recreated the modern borders of China, colonized Taiwan, Australia, Indonesia, California, and Cascadia, and spent decades purposefully destabilizing Japan. It takes a lot of work to make Ming fun.

[@hashtagrex]

yknow laith, in my manchu playthrough i went with the "just outgrow the coalition" strategy...it ended up with a coalition that had over 4 million troops and 2 million reserve manpower as it was *the entire world* in a coalition including the biggest ottomans I've ever seen in my life and when I say entire world, I mean every nation that knew of my existence, minus some HRE OPMs and Britain (who was threatened for whatever reason and wanted to ally).

Going expansion first and letting the disaster fire and keep choosing the “get 10 mandate and a rebel army” option. Get tributaries in the spice islands and Africa by getting neighbours through colonies and just fight weak people on land? Was this changed in a new patch?

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Mandate from tributaries is determined by development, not number of countries. So it's better to have one large one that isn't likely to get conquered because it got called into a war alongside a non-tributary ally.

[@kgapaneseschoolgirlb]

Can’t wait for the second part!

[@kabobawsome]

So I've noticed a much faster editing style where you are cutting out even the slightest second dead of air. For constructive criticism, it makes the video feel really jumpy, way too fast paced, and really hard to keep track of. There were parts of the video I had to go back and rewatch at x0.9 speed to try and understand what's going on. Obviously, dead air is generally bad, but cutting out even the moderate natural breaks between words is just way way too zealous.
