Forming Manchu, turns all the Jurchen provinces into Manchu culture? Or only the owned Jurchen provinces?
Is there anyway to maintain the Mandate without being a Celestial Empire in 1.29? I don't think so?
Form Persia after claiming Mandate of Heaven. Other government changing formations are banned but they missed it I guess. It is not an endgame tag so you can form some other thing after this too.
I tested with Mughals, Rum, Prussia and Persia. For first 3 formation decision doesn't appear sadly. I think I find a way to do it with Japan but while it is technically possible, it is not really doable in a game.
Interesting. Tibet should still be completely fine.
I wonder how the interaction works between gov change and mandate, too (as in, are you able to queue 'reform into a republic' into celestial empire?). Should be something to explore here.

I would assume they are blocked alsoi but didn't test it myself. I am tempted to keep Celestial Empire for 10% CCR from meritocracy interactions in a potential run with mandate. Tengri, yellow shamanism and syncretic Mahayana (or Hindu) still will make everyone to reach max heathen tolerance, so I am ok with lack of legitimacy bonuses. Meritocracy looks hard to keep it if you are poor though.
There is also still Zaporozhie who can just up and leave the stressful life of the celestial emperorship for the freedom of the steppes whenever. That one isn't even defeating a check like tibet, it just doesn't have one at all. I had tested Tibet yesterday and can confirm that one still works.
I think theoretically, mechanically, you might be able to get rid of it by reducing yourself to an opm in the hre and getting the emperor to offer you free city status but I'm not sure. That obviously isn't a serious consideration anyway.

So, I feel too lazy to test and hope that someone already knows the answer.
Do I gain same amount of mandate from single tributary with X development compared to Y amount of tributary with total X development?

In my current Qing game Russia with 761 dev gives +0.1 mandate, while 12 smaller tributary with a total of 742 gives +0.08 mandate.
It's close so I would say that statement is correct.
Just started a game as Oirat, went and got Feudalism, so now I have 210 dev and Mongolia has 115.
Am I correct in thinking the Unguarded Nomadic Frontier will be ticking for Ming with the new changes in 1.29?

Yes, but you don't need unguarded frontier with Oirat. Go beat the army which Ming Emperor leads. It will give you 20% morale and 25% siege ability during your current monarch's reign. Then siege Beijing. This will trigger and event that plunges Ming's mandate and automatically sieges 1/3 of Ming. It is literally trivial to beat them with Oirat now.
Cheers. I didn't realise the effects of that event were so severe. Do Ming always lead an army with their Emperor now?
I am not sure. Emperor surely leads an army at the start of the game, but I don't know what happens later. Just have an army with full combat width and engage them. Don't bother with feudalism because you can embrace it from the land and money you get from Ming. Be sure to demand Beijing so they could never recover. Not controling Beijing will give them a permanent mandate hit now.
What is the trick for making this strategy work? In 1444 Oirat has a meager force limit of 23 regiments. Although steppe troops have an advantage in flat terrain and Oirat's starting ruler is an outstanding general this only gets you so far--he can beat a Ming army of equal size but Ming stacks from the neighbouring provinces come over and beat me. I find myself getting overwhelmed when declaring war asap, right after recruiting more cavalry from the tribes estate. I was able to snipe the Ming emperor in battle and siege down Beijing, but the end result was only +4 warscore because Ming had carpet sieged me and Mongolia's provinces.
A cavalry heavy army with full combat width is enough. Retreat your army a little bit and engage lone Ming stacks on flat terrain. After you get that absurd combat buff from engaging Emperor. Beat its stacks a bit more for war score from battles and then siege Beijing. You will be able to make an almost 100% piece deal. Then Ming just dies.
23 is enough to beat Ming. The thing is you need to win the battle before he can reinforce. If you think you can't beat it on time don't fight that battle. Look at the timing when a multi stack leaves and aim for the slowest stack. Always before you fight consolidate your units. 2units at half strength fight worse than 1 unit at full strength.
