Being a new EU4 player, I learned something about trade power and vassalization.

How much more money are you making now that you've moved the capital to Hangzhou? I might do the same in my Ming AAR if it provides a big enough boost.

The answer for you is 12. Earlier the better as it adds up. Hangzhou is just better located.

On that note, episode 4!

Episode 4: oh man, that manpower event couldn't have come at a better time.

EDIT: Have you considered trying to offer Manchu gold for peace? You're rolling in ducats anyway, might as well put it to use. Also, I've found that in the early years of Ming you need to outnumber your enemies at least 2:1 to have a reasonably good chance at attaining victory in battle.

FYI, the shaded troops are mercenaries so you actually deleted a bunch of your own troops rather than mercenaries in Episode 4...

I think these are good reasons why I get nervous when people comment on my videos saying I make a good source of advice for the game <_< I will put it here that I am really just learning and Shenryyr or Arumba are way better if you want to learn how to excel at these games.

That being said, here is the mega disasterous episode 6
