The only nations that were not my tributary were France, Austria and Great Britain. In my last play through, I was purposely playing very passive and I still manage to take all of Asia, Indonesia, East Europe, Arabia and Africa. You can play Ming very casually and still manage to own more than half of the world between you and your tributaries. Ottomans might be the best nation to do world conquest, but I think Ming is actually the easiest one for beginners. Ming starts in isolation as THE biggest nation in the world, number one great power and you are going to remain there for rest of the game even if you don’t play super aggressive. Half way through my last Ming game I realized that Ming really doesn’t need a play by play rule book.
I was planning on a step-by-step guide on how to world conquest playing Ming.
