Update cumming OVER YOUR FACE. I've already hit the rock bottom administration penalties, so really my main barriers are money and infamy. Ming hates me and has reconquest on me, so if i don't attack them on my terms they're going to attack me on their terms.
For some reason Korea will not accept vassalisation, even though they are fully occupied. Instead i just snatch some provinces off them.
The Korean provinces automatically get autonomy due to their urban status. this reduces revolt risk but makes the province almost worthless to me. When the revolts die down a bit i should be able to repeal this autonomy and integrate the filthy heathen gooks. For some reason they are persecuted even though the Mongols had a history of tolerance towards other religions due to their general lack of interest about foreign faiths.
Look at that WE. Ouch. WE is a lot more troublesome in MM as it increases the cost of troops as well as the ordinary general penalties.
Our administration is fucked, the only thing keeping us afloat is our 8 admin regent. When Chingis takes the throne everything is going to go to shit.
The Oirats raid our shit. I decide to stay quiet for now, as their raiding party fails miserably. This will mean war though. The skull of their Khan will make a good groin guard.
Ming insults us. The filthy fucking chinks. By the Codex's will they will get their damned comeuppance. Not now though, not now.
Chingis ascends to the throne. The gooks insist on revolting, so, they must be crushed utterly. Palace of bones, crown of eyes, etc etc.
The revolts are all over the Khanate, so i have to split up my force to crush them all before they do any significant damage.
The administration goes to shit. I'm at 0 minting but inflation is still going up due to this. This is really fucking me up the ass. I'm losing probably 60% of all the value of my provinces to my shitty administration.
The rebels are smacked about a bit. For some reason most of the pics i took here didn't show up.
They take a province but it defects back after i crush the pretender army. They even have the gall to ask for peace. Peace! I'll have their balls on a kebab stick.
Meanwhile, the Khan is doing what he does best.
A look at the new heir.
Goddamn, look at those motherfisting stats. This dude is going to be our Genghis Khan. This is some serious
Now that Chingis has taken the throne and quashed all opposition to his rule, i promptly declare war on the Oirats. They are allied with Korea so this is an opportunity to bypass the truce and vassalise them.
I send some troops over. The Oirats didn't get the tribal gathering event so this should be a pushover followed by some dull, bloody sieges. Meanwhile, my top strategists and generals are busy.....reforming the navy?
I batter their troops around a bit without too many casualties and lay siege, but their army refuses to rout and i take huge casualties from attrition.
Gooooo Mongols! Fuck those niggers up!
I quickly besiege and take their last provinces. As i have enough warscore to vassalise them, i have the option to fully annex them. They are Mongolian and have the same religion as me, so annexing them is purely beneficial. Makes the map prettier as well.
Because they are culturally and religiously identical to me, the coring process begins very quickly. They should be fully integrated into the Khanate in about a decade or so.
Meanwhile, in Gookland...
We get some converts.
A sortie tries to break the siege....
They lose and are routed.
Eventually, after several long and boring sieges, they are completely occupied. I could annex them but that 20 infamy doesn't look pretty. I opt to vassalise them instead.
The Khanate on the 27th of March, 1449:
At the moment, the juiciest target is Ming, the Eastern flank is secure, and to the west there are only more nomads, albeit moderately wealthy nomads, but still shitty. What do, Codex?
