Also included are various other related tables and lists. These results have happened without Ming having low mandate, as Ming is just barely starting to feel the negative effects.This is a list of islands of Scotland, the mainland of which is part of the island of Great Britain. I’ve lost 75K, and Russia lost another 40K. In the first two years the Ming has managed to lose half a million men between combat and attrition. I expected them to go hard into Russia to try to peace them out first, but instead they’ve sent their troops everywhere. Their entire battleplan baffles me since the AI typically focuses hard in one area. Ming also sends two armies north into Russia. This lack of focus means I’m able to shift my armies between the 3 theaters, overwhelming the enemy wherever they go to. Their attacks are split evenly between the north (in Tibet), the center (in Burma), and in the south (in the Malay peninsula). Ming’s coffers are absurdly deep so this continues for quite a while. They merc up heavily and continue on like nothing happened. Ming runs out of manpower in the first year of fighting, but this doesn’t slow their attacks. You don’t want to get pushed back too far because you’ll start getting war exhaustion yourself and things can become unwinnable if Ming occupies half your country. The purpose of the forts is to give you an edge in the first few critical years. All of my border forts will give me a +2 or +1 to rolls, which will give me a nice edge. You can see my fort setup in the picture below. Finally, know that Ming will try to attack you in the weakest link so it can be worth it to build further into your country if it means you can put a fort in a place that gives you an edge in combat. Also note they will automatically get access to their tributaries’ land, so fortify those borders as well. Don’t just fortify your border with Ming, fortify everywhere they can potentially get to through land military access. This might not be possible if you’re in Mongolia, but you should have options everwhere else. Put them in areas where you’ll get a combat advantage (like mountains, hills, and forests). Finally, a blockade prevents them from sneaking troops around and hurts their prosperity which, in turn, hurts their mandate.įifth, fortify your borders with forts. Second, the war with Ming will be long, so building up war exhaustion from the very beginning is helpful, especially since it’s wise to be on the defensive for the first few years.
First, Ming’s navy is relatively weak and it has no allies, making a blockade relatively cheap and micromanagement free. But for a war with Ming I’ve found it definitely is for a couple of reasons. Normally, investing in a strong navy isn’t worth it. I’m not sure the exact amount you need, but 100-150 light ships is approximately enough. Light ships excel at locking down ports, and China has a lot of development on its coasts. Next, you’ll want to build lots of light ships to do actual blockading. Building double the amount of warships Ming has should be enough (you might need more if you’re going the galley route though). If you can afford it, you should build heavy ships however, China’s coastline counts as an inland sea so galleys can be a cheap alternative if you’re strapped for cash. First, you’ll want to be able to overpower their navy. In this game they have a mere 14 heavy ships along with a handful of light ships and galleys. Ming is always ridiculously powerful on land, but I’ve found its naval power to be lacking. I’ll have to make a more organized video on how to defeat them at some point because there’s a pretty consistent formula.įirst, build a strong navy. I’ve warred against Mandate of Heaven Ming enough that I’ve started to notice several patterns.
