18:32 Ming is literally the best colonizer 1. You have the monument which rises colonization speed super close by and are rich enough to upgrade it early game - funfact the monument is level 1 and it's bonus applies WHILE you are colonizing it already 2. Even with I colonist your economy can EASILY support 3-4 colonies 3. You can cheese the colonize taiwan mission to get settler increase early on very easily and the earlier you get it the stronger it is
Its worth maximising harmony before you harmonise a religion as it speeds it up significantly. Therefore you also lose less harmony and it takes less years. If you also get the great project in korea as well as humanist ideas you can really speed things up.
Hi Ludi, first off: I love your videos. EU4-Videos are one thing, making people laugh while at it - that's another. I went for my first ever Ming game after several thousands of hours of gameplay, several weeks ago. Went for trying to rush reforms and harmonization, and getting the Kow-Tow on the side. Contrary to your strategy, I went for dropping Korea and Dai Viet right off, so I could get their Great Projects early on. Korea's on its own is just amazing, and Dai Viet is one of the two Harmony projects. Getting any Great Projects up to Tier 3 as Ming, with their money and manpower is relatively easy. Additionally, I went for Humanist Ideas as first (demanding Admin Points and putting National Focus on Admin as well), for: the additional Religious Unity required for gathering Harmony, the actually .25 Harmony, as well as the 25% Harmonizing speed. I took Exploration as second, leaving enough time for exploit...exploring the rest of the world. By the time my Harmony was around 95ish, I could start with more than 70% Harmonizing speed (going up to 75% at 100 Harmony), whilst still getting .25 Harmony surplus going up to 100 Harmony slowly. Every single Religion can be Harmonized in under 20 years from the start, making it super easy - allowing pulling in all the bonuses from the other religions super fast, without losing the 100 Harmony bonuses. Have you considered this as a tactic for Ming? What's your take on it? KR Wouter
i usually switch all the tributary to demand admin mana from them and the small tributary i demand manpower, its not much but you can get some free mana out of it
I was publishing my saves even before man, literally been doing so for 1 year and a half now. All accusations were bs and unfounded but yeah people love joining hate trains sadly
ming is pretty op once you can get charter companies, just buy a province from some Tunis or something and then you can tributary then cause now you border them. very fun with the tribs to vassals too
Feel like the tributary system needs a revamp. It's good for raising meritocracy but for actual gains like mana and cash it's a bit crap since the gains are really small unless you can get many tributaries
Ming after acquiring reality stone(finishing the last mandate reform) be like: Convert tributary to "vassal" Ming after destroying the Manchus* Ming: You have my respect Manchu, when I'm done vassalizing the world...half of it would be still free from my rule
I just did another MIng, game, and actually if you make your leader a general before the event, you may get some good pips, and I also use him, just have to move the king around so he doesnt get into fights
I love your videos and I like that you are wholesome and positive. I wish assign armies to fight rebellions would have an auto fill button where it would reach out and cover the maximum provinces it is connected to. Because I would love that. Please make more videos
The great things is that the turn-tributary-into-vassal thing is not linked to Ming, but the emperor of China, so if you as a non-Ming nation, become emperor of China, you can do the same thing.
but it's faster to do it as Ming because you start off with 60 mandate , you can do it with other nation like oriat or Japan but it's going to take quite lot of time before you can pass all the reforms.
On my try with Ming i avoided conquering provinces by giving them up to countries i took it after making them my tributaries, it is kind fun to plan most efficient way of progress you can between forcing tributaries and using diplomacy.I hadn't try exploration and it sounds like best choice now.
Actually, if you let the king be captured. The interregnum is 2 2 2 which is even better than 110. The new ruler usually is something over 333. Although Oirats seems to get stronger. But to me, a good player should manage to kill Oirats easily.
Ludi, we watch these videos because you're awesome and fun to watch and we love the tips and tricks and strategies. 99.9% of us don't care if you're playing Ironman or not. Ignore the trolls and just be your awesome self
I would kind of like a mod that makes the Ming really difficult, like a "save the crumbling empire campaign". (For example the Ming Emperor will be locked as a general and his army will be moved by AI. And lots of new disasters and negative events.)
Holy shit. You can level up advisors!?! Omg every time i watch these videos, i just feel like a big ole dumb dumb from all the mechanics i had no awareness whatsoever of.
Yo bro the Kow Tow achievement is one from each religious GROUP so you can get it super ez by rushing colonies near Kilwa then conquering your way up to Ethiopia as they're part of the Christian group, boom done. ^^
Ludi do Croatia, please. I am trying wc for quite some time and can't pull it off. Interesting nation with solid ideas and colour. Sandwiched between Europe, Ottomans and Orthodox.

Yeah good point

ming is pretty op once you can get charter companies, just buy a province from some Tunis or something and then you can tributary then cause now you border them. very fun with the tribs to vassals too

Keep on the hard work ludi

Home, I am back!

Ming after acquiring reality stone(finishing the last mandate reform) be like:
Convert tributary to "vassal"
Ming after destroying the Manchus*
Ming:
You have my respect Manchu, when I'm done vassalizing the world...half of it would be still free from my rule
Thank you, Ludi! Keep doing what you doing, bro! You are absolutely fantastic 1506-year KHAAAAAN!!! =)
Cool map of Romania on the background!
Nice! Also i would like to see your comments on last dev diary, about rebalance changes!
I don't remember Oirat's murdering Sam and Frodo once they left the Shire.
I've had it with these gritty reboots
Subscribed because I hadn't been sure your videos were legit, and you convinced me.
Love ya Ludi ❤️. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for watching bro
Ludi, maybe some vlog? Some romanian interesting places nearby your home town regional food etc. I would like to watch something like that!
Great video Ludi, How is romania btw? Hope you're doing good
My wallet bitch Where IS?!???
Love the content. Love your style. Keep doing great work Ludi!

I'd love to see a second part
the best Ludi video so far

I see what you did there Ludi. 11:04
Thank you Ludi.
Thank for continuing to provide quality content and brightening my day, even from Romania.
"he"s got some pretty good siege pips" LOL
great vid cant wait for part two
I always use the vassals transfer to take Mongolia as a direct vassal
3:34 is very sussy :)
This camera is like "Ludi after 5 years in Romania" 🤣

Would be great to know how many EU players actually have played as Ming. I don't think that so many.
Let's poll first I have
I have. It's not my favorite nation in the area but it was definitely interesting exploring their mechanics.
