I ' m the 8 th great power . Haixi is my vassal . I ' ve rivaled Japan . Ming and Japan have both rivaled me . Ming has a shit ton of claims all over my territory seriously , if they declare war on me I ' m fucked . My force limit is about 33 , which I ' m using to the fullest . I ' ve also added Manchu as accepted after I took the screenshots . I got renaissance pretty early , at around 1480 s ' I believe . In terms of expansion besides colonization , I was planning on first diploannex haixi , and afterwards go for Mongolia and Japan through Ainu . I ' m colonizing the last province in taiwan , however my budget is really bad , plus I ' m already on a Loan . What should I do ? Update Ming destroyed me , conquered pretty much all of korea including a big chunk of manchuria . I ' ve moved my capital to the philippines in hopes of exiling .
