Beware that some of these areas own a few several states, so it will take longer to conquer this region, its best to go for this in the early game. These areas are not as valuable as Indonesia, however other GPs wont intervene if you go to war in these areas in the early/mid game. You could also take the larger islands, like Sumatra and Java, however Burgundy has holdings in Java, so if you want pretty borders, avoid taking Java.Īnother area to expand into is the south east regions, like Vietnam and Khmer. Taking Malacca and Brunei are always a good option, Lanfang is a civilised nation, so its better to ally them than annex them, they can provide a decent bit of support in the area. Make sure you have decent naval tech when attacking this area, as Scandinavia may intervene, if they do, you can easily blockade their holdings and siege them down for easy ticking warscore.

This should boost your economy and give you enough money to last until the gold runs out.Īlternatively you can opt to research and high taxes, make sure to keep at least 2 stacks of 30K troops on the home island to put down any uprisings, as high taxes will upset the population. Taking the the southern coast of Qinggiu (OTL California - LA area) or the Yunnan state of the Heavenly Kingdom as these areas spawn a large amount of gold producing provinces or have a very profitable gold province. Once you've reclaimed Korea, you most likely won't be in the best spot economy-wise, try to build at least 10 transport ships for a 30K troop stack, this way you can conquer new lands. Encouraging immigration to the four states of Korea may alleviate this somewhat. Once you win the war, you’ll get cores on all of Korea while Korean won’t be an accepted pop and thus administrstion will always be low, their resources are still a massive boost to kick starting your industry. Delete the first two starting armies and start making some new one armies on mainland Japan. Peace out Korea to annex them and keep your 30K army there to stop any potential rebels. You'll want to save your infamy for better areas anyway, as the infamy reduction might not last for much longer. Once you've wiped out all of Korea's armies and you can continue fighting the Qing, but they'll have more armies than you and will be able to defend themselves reasonably well on sheer numbers alone. You don't need to mobilise to win this war, if you do, you won't have enough transports to take the armies across the sea anyway. As you fight the Koreans, build another army of about 30K troops and some transports to take them over to Korea. Start from the south and move north, but keep the capital sieged and make sure to blockage the Sakhalin in the north, as the Qing can cross over into mainland Japan from there. You'll have a few armies in Korea during this fight, keep them close to each other and stack-wipe the Korean armies. 3 Expansion into Indonesia and South-East AsiaĪs Japan, you start the game at war with Korea and Qing.
