Lan Na looks better as a target than an ally, but I'm in a fairly weak position, so I can't be too choosy. Meanwhile while sieges were going on slowly I managed to get royal marriages and alliances with Lan Na and Ayutthaya. Pegu allied with Lan Xang and joined the war but didn't really do anything else about it. So day one I took the mission to conquer one of Lan Xang's provinces, rivaled Lan Xang and Champa (my only choices in the whole world), declared war on Lan Xang, and sent some diplomats to improve relations with Ayutthaya. I don't start as the weakest country in the region, but many others like Bengal, Shan, and Ayutthaya are quite a bit stronger.

The entire region lives in shadow of Ming, who fortunately can't rival any of us, but unfortunately hate us all since we're Buddhists and they're Confucians.

The goal of campaign is to conquer South-East Asia, I'm not sure how far into Indonesia, India, and China my idea of "South-East Asia" will extend. I have full intention of using mid-game modding if I run into any major balance problems I wasn't aware before. Post 1 - Originally published on Google+ on 23:44:46 UTCĪnd so a new campaign begins.
