Well to start off I am very eager on finally getting the achivement "The three mountains", and well :excl: SPOILER :excl: its not this AAR. However i gave it some thought and would like to present my progress so far. Bear in mind that I still am playing this campaign and everything can happen.
I also want to apologise for not having enough screen shots. I simply wasnt aware surviving as Ryukyu is possible
Lets start by showing u mine small island a couple of years down the road...
I was quite impressed with my progress taking into account some extreme situations I encountered on the way:
1. 100% of my heirs with skills 5/4/5 or comparable died in the early game and I was stuck with either 1/0/0 or 0/0/1 ...
2. I got a lot of negative stability events ( DAMN U COMETS! )
3. Japan attacked me in less then 20 years
4. When i finally could westernize Portugal decided to wage war on poor Ryukyu...
...and then the tides turned!
This resulted in somewhat strange war, where Portugal could not attack me and i managed to intercept their ships on the way to glorious Ryukyu... giving me a possibility of earning more then 300 ducats
I felt that I could not finish the challenge at this point, nonetheless I want to see what is possible with this little island.
I attacked Indian provinces, subjugating most of them (thank god for the last update with cores not disappearing), and slowly made my way into china. I vassalized most of the little countries and when i felt strong I went for the Ming. There is still only one problem in otherwise perfect plan...and it goes by the name of muscovy. My current situation is as follows:
The plan is to take provinces to the left up to Ottomans and maybe...just maybe claim their throne ( I tried 3 times already with no luck ). Destroy the Ming completely, annex both vassals in China and wage war on Muscovy. I feel i might be able to reach Europe by 1800.
If anyone has a good idea what to do now...I welcome you to comment
