Meissner Porcelain

[Aeru]

I did the achievement run for meissner Porcelain - controlling all chinaware provinces. I started out to take on Bohemia with the help of Austria. Directed myself towards the dutch provinces and becoming Catholic HRE-Emperor. Burgundien Successsion didn't fire for me, so I took over the dutch provinces by force with the help of the French, my permanent allies. 3'd idea group Expansian (no colonisation an no discovery i decided and went for influence and humanism first). Meanwhile the Protestantism came - I changed Religion and got into a Rebel Casus Belli with Portugal (quite reliably their morrocon provinces will rebel) and took over their islands colonial land and islands (madeira, azores, cape verde, Brazilian colonies and all African colonies). Madeira and Azores in coring range - and after coring those the following islands were corable and i expanded on brazil to get the extra merch - continuing to colonize the entire Ivory coast.

When Cape Coast became visible (remember i only had expanision idea), Cape was colonized by spane... so france helped me to get against spane and take over their african province and some pagagonions to get a second colonial nation. In the meantime a got an female heir, and lost the Emperor's Crown... she came in a regency and lived up to her 70ies...... so when the the religious league triggered i wasnt eligible to get to the throne and i decided to focus chinese expansion since i controlled enough of Europe to provide money and ppl for my troops.

After that i worked my way through east africa with the Expansian CB and took all important centers of trade - when india was in sight bahamis had total control... and i decided to go for indonisia and china directly where ming was just about to fall apart. From there on it was a piece of cake - except admin points were permanantly low since i cored everything.... so i hang by 4 or 5 levels behind...

Sadly russia was also colonizing the philippines and had a chinaware province, but since they were week and broken down by the hordes, it was an easy claim.

Here the result screenshots:

By the way, I controlled all the porcelain by myself, because i didn't want to trust in Protectorates to break off, just when conquering the last porcelain provinces. Only one province was occupied by a Protecorate which I got in the 16. hundreds (Shun).

Beating asians is easy once you have the homefront secure. And no europeans have the bloody chinaware too.

There´s still time to do plenty of stuff, congrats

Fleet size is huge, you went any navy idea?

I went: influence, humanism, expansion and no points left to oput in the other idea groups, i think expansion has some fleet buff? dont remember... but all the center of trades are +2 fleet size and most asian provinces had docks built
