Khmer: Khmer is no doubt the least-rewarding, most difficult of any of the SE nation starts. Also, going Confucian as Dai Viet is quite contrary to the 4th column of missions, which focuses on conquest and culture conversion, when as a Confucian it may be more beneficiary to have an early Dharmic harmonization.ģ. What I find most repulsive about playing Dai Viet is how little it emphasizes conquest in SE Asia, instead giving subjugation CB's when Dai Viet was a country with centralized rule. The rewards for later missions are also unimpressive, with some giving things like institution spread, which is quite useless in this area. Dai Viet: Although Dai Viet is a potential power-player in the region, their beginning missions, which focus on preventing a future disaster (The Northern and Southern Dynasties), are lackluster (minus the one that gives 100 admin power), requiring massive changes in the country for little, non-permanent benefits. In the two Majapahit runs I have done, I have found that making many vassals and not directly conquering any land is best converting to Islam also helps economically and with conquered Sunni lands.Ģ. While I think the disaster and missions required to end it are quite arbitrary, what keeps Majapahit from being lower than Dai Viet is the potential reward from their missions, which are quite amazing. By the end of the disaster and taking the missions required to end it, one may find themselves far behind in terms of technology. Majapahit: Majapahit is one of the countries that starts in a disaster. Both Palembang and Brunei do not suffer from disasters/potential disasters.ģ. Once the early conquests are complete, one can recreate the Srivijaya empire, and easily convert to Shafi'i Islam for another merchant for your huge fleet of barques. This provided naval supremacy allows a quick conquest of Sumatra (off-island allies cannot reach your enemies). This allows Palembang the financial ability to complete many of its beginning missions, which focus on creating a strong, privateering navy. Palembang's ability to raid gives a player about ~300 ducats in the first few months and later, up to 600 ducats per raid around SE Asia. Palembang: Palembang is super unique as one of the few nations that can become a pirate republic not only that, but new events at the beginning of the game ensure that you will have a strong leader. In addition to the easy vassals, colonization bonuses are also provided, making Brunei the easiest "Pacifist" run in Southeast Asia.ģ. Although they are OPMs, they also have the centers of trade in the Philippines node, giving high economic payback. 2 of Brunei's beginning missions simply require improving relations with Sulu & Maynila, giving them as vassals immediately. Brunei: Brunei is another nation that has missions with easy, high rewards that lead to completion of later missions.
Simply fulfilling the mission's provided rewards allows an Ayutthaya player to snowball into having 4 massive vassals, and this, combined with the concentrate development option on vassals, a huge development capital.Ģ. All of its beginning missions are easily obtainable and offer great rewards, such as a subjugation CB on Khmer, Malacca, and Lan Na, as well as 50 government reform progress. First off, Ayutthaya doesn't begin the game in disaster, like Majapahit or Khmer, and requires no arbitrary preparations to prevent a disaster, such as Dai Viet. Ayutthaya: Ayutthaya by far is the best mission tree given, and provided with the best starting position due to the other major regional powers' trees. I'm interested in hearing others' opinions on this too and why they are what they are best.ġ. I wanted to make my input on the top 3 mission trees and the bottom 3 mission trees. These trees are either very good, or extremely bad. I'm not including, say, the Philippine or Sulawesi countries in this, as they have scant trees which would definitely rank low. With the release of Leviathan, the new mission trees seem very polarizing, at least to me.
