Started as Orissa, didn't realise that I'd have Garjat as a vassal so I'm off to a rather powerful start. Quite a few small nations to pick on for expansion. I get a mission to conquer the kingdom to our south, free claims on a whole nation? Sign me up.

My first move is actually to disband the half my navy, I don't need heavy ships and galleys right now so I'll save the money and use the funds to push my army over the force limits. With a larger army and the help of my vassal the war is over quickly. Once I've built myself up and asserted dominance in the immediate area I'm going to focus on technology and to a lesser extent province development.







Bengal and their Muslim allies are always strong, so I'll have to look out for them.

Edit: Since Orissa's national ideas are largely economical in focus I've taken Quality as my first idea set.
