Raul: I thought I'd send you my move first. Giving you a chance to protest
or move after me in case some force majure has prevented you from moving.
Please let me know if it is OK to forward the turn to the others or do so
yourself if you choose to move after me.
With more then 48 hours passed. I've moved with China. I do hope Raul is OK.
A very active turn that saw multiple collapses of the Chinese government in
response to some nasty events.
The AI had been busy politically annexing most of the vassals I'd previously
released with the result that I was becoming quite hated again. I found
myself at war (along with Portugal) against the Navaho and their ally Chimú
with the Indian warriors killing, raping and plundering undefended colonies
in Northern California.
January 1, 1610 : Pirate Fleet sighted in Coast of Java!"
January 1, 1610 : Our stability dropped.
Needed war taxes to allow me to build enough troops in North America. Those
damn apaches were on a rampage.
January 1, 1610 : The people of Manchu declared independence from China."
January 1, 1610 : Manchu are now our vassals."
Lots of rebellions in Manchu. This seemed a good way to deal with them.
Also, from 1530 onwards the non-existence of Manchuria triggers emperor
commits suicide event that means +20 revolt risk for 300 months. This is why
I won't ally myself with Manchu. I really can't afford the risk of the AI
annexing them.
January 3, 1610 : England declared war upon Navaho.
January 3, 1610 : Chimú joined the war on the same side as Navaho in their
war
January 5, 1610 : Ukraine entered a Military Alliance with Russia.
I'm a bit surprised Band didn't make that alliance on his own during his
turn. But hey, good thing the AI did I guess.
January 5, 1610 : Ukraine joined the war on the same side as Russia in their
war against Poland."
January 6, 1610 : Aden became Vassals of Mameluks."
January 7, 1610 : We won a battle against Chimú in Central Pacific Ocean.

Inca Empire."
January 20, 1610 : Our stability dropped.
They were really out competing me.
February 1, 1610 : Our navy in Cape Canaveral has been completely
annihilated!" February 1, 1610 : Our navy in Cam Rah Bay has been completely
annihilated!"
There where lots of this happening. Deleted the rest, as their demise
remains a state secret.
March 1, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Zacatecas and Inca Empire lost
a merchant."
March 1, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Zacatecas and Inca Empire lost
a merchant."
March 1, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Shanghai and Inca Empire lost
a merchant."
March 1, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Zacatecas and Inca Empire lost
a merchant."
See, trade embargo really do work.
March 1, 1610 : We acquired a monopoly in Shanghai."
March 2, 1610 : We lost a merchant in Shanghai and currently have 5
merchants left there."
Well, most of the time anyway.
May 15, 1610 : Louis XIII rose to the throne in France."
Congratulation. I understand he's pretty good.

Taking advantage of a quiet spell to decentralise some more.
July 21, 1610 : Vladislav I Vasa rose to the throne in Russia.
Elephant dispatched as coronation gift.
August 1, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Zacatecas and Inca Empire
lost a merchant.
August 17, 1610 : We have competed for trade in Zacatecas and Inca Empire
lost a merchant.
Got a lot of those. The embargo really did make it easier to get rid of
those Inca traders. How about somebody getting rid of the incars. Period?
October 5, 1610 : Mecklenburg accepted peace with France on the following
terms : Mecklenburg pays 104$ in
My ambassador attends victory parade.

China."
October 10, 1610 : Hyderabad are now our vassals.
Let them deal with their own rebels I always say.
October 12, 1610 : Russia now has a trade agreement with Portugal.
Seems to me the Russian AI is more diplomatically active then Band is.
November 1, 1610 : The government of Hyderabad has fallen.
Well that is what happens when I let the incompetent locals try to deal with
their own rebels. Let that be a lessen to other provincial governors. Still
as long as the new government keeps paying taxes to me who cares?
December 1, 1610 : Natives destroyed our settlement in Niteroi!
Siberian bastards!
December 11, 1610 : We went with We are too weak to crush the rebels in The
Manchu Rebellion.
December 11, 1610 : Our stability dropped."

well.

January 16, 1611 : We converted the heretics and heathens in Atlixco to the
one true faith."
January 29, 1611 : We converted the heretics and heathens in Tampico to the
one true faith
Cool. I had a lot of successful conversions this turn.
February 6, 1611 : We lost a battle against Navaho in San Bernardino.
In all fairness I won the bulk of the battles but I was just so surprised it
was even possible for me to lose I thought I'd mention this one.
February 7, 1611 : Bavaria entered a Royal Marriage with Portugal.
More elephants dispatched. This time a wedding gift.

Is that a name?
April 1, 1611 : The freedom loving rebels in Baja have left the yokes of
Aragon to join our realm.
Now THAT was fun!! Even if we are only talking about a trading post with
teen merchants I was very flatted.

By by Navaho. We won't be hearing any more from them in the future. Annexed.

April 1, 1612 : Our current government of China have fallen.
With there being little I could do I simply increased game speed and watched

After some mouths the rebel risk eased and I got busy restoring order.
February 14, 1614 : Nippon went with Persecute the Christians in Tokugawa's

Hey, it is a trade centre.
March 21, 1614 : Russia declared war upon Nogai."
