On top on that, you have your tributaries who will give you loads of monarch points, manpower or ducats. You have the army size, the economy and no real enemies till mid game. I think Ming makes for a really easy beginner nation. It will help you massively late game and make expansion easier.
You should aim to get the max absolutism using court and country disaster when the age of absolutism starts. If you plan on playing more as a colonizer, you can substitute the first mil group with expansion.
I usually go quality, then offensive, then defensive. Quality- After this I go for military techs.īy this time, you will start fighting the European powers and you will find that you might have numbers, but your army quality is lacking. Colonize Alaska, Taiwan, Australia in that order. So if you try a little hard and pay close attention, you can do a world conquest fairly easily. The only nations that were not my tributary were France, Austria and Great Britain. You can play Ming very casually and still manage to own more than half of the world between you and your tributaries.
Ottomans might be the best nation to do world conquest, but I think Ming is actually the easiest one for beginners. I was planning on a step-by-step guide on how to world conquest playing Ming.
