	Goal	Key
	With a fleet at our disposal, we just need now to have a presence along all the coast to control its wealth. We need to conquer any that may hinder us.
	Raiders and slavers have troubled Ruthenia for centuries. We must put a stop to these barbarous activities by subjugating the Crimean Tatars.
	The richest and most fertile lands in India, and therefore the most appealing target for conquest, is the Doab. The great cities of Delhi, Jaunpur, and Lahore must be ours!
	Our brethren are suffering at the hands of foreign oppressors. We are honor-bound to liberate them.
	The sight of something so grand as the Great Lakes is impressive enough to justify any kind of conquest over them. However, controlling the lakes also means controlling its water: transportation, fishing, the main source of life shall be ours.
	Centuries ago the Highlands were dotted with Irish religious settlements. They should enjoy Irish patronage once again.
	If we are to survive while surrounded by enemies, the first step we should take is controlling the Horn. Only by doing that can we establish a powerful enough base from which to expand further later.
	The treasure that awaits in the mountains of Peru makes all the bloodshed seem worthwhile. We should press on and claim further glory for our nation.
	With the conquest of our nation, we have secured a powerful foothold on the British Isles. The road to eradicating the English threat is now open to us.
	The Margraviate of Brandenburg is one of the more militarily competent states in North Germany. Their armies were steeled from their wars with the Slavic tribes in the early days of the Holy Roman Empire.\nAlthough these days are long gone, the forces of Brandenburg are still formidable. We should conquer their lands and integrate their military into our own.
	Having subjugated the northern nations, uncolonized land is now ours to take.
	With great success we have ruled over the land and the waters. Our ancestors shall gaze proudly into our villages and behold their unquestionable prosperity. It is our duty to spread this accomplishment through all our region.
	Potential rivals exist at the southern borders of our great our nation. The Kingdom of Kaffa may be a fellow Coptic nation, but their kings have no interest in sharing their gold with our rightful our ruler. The Kingdom of Ennarea is a sad excuse for a state and might only end up as a reinforcement of the eastern, Fetishist barbarians.\nWe should conquer the southern kingdoms and consolidate the Ethiopian region.
	Having subjugated the southern nations, uncolonized land is now ours to take.
	Timbuktu is the heart of culture and trade in West Africa, and attracts merchants, scholars, ulema and foreigners alike. It is in our best interest to have control over this meaningful city.
	It is time to begin the conquest of West Africa. Timbuktu is a wealthy city that sits upon the crossroads of trade between the region and the rest of the world; we must possess it.
	Eastern Hungary needs to be put under direct Austrian rule. This will allow us to protect the Christian people of the region from the risk of Turkish offensives.
	Our efforts to drive back the crusader Franks have led us to capture yet more Balkan lands from the house of war. We now have a border with the Prince of Transylvania and it must acknowledge our overlordship for the security of the house of submission.
	Hungarian generals and kings have held sway over the fate of Romania for too long. We must show them that we will not accept any interference in our affairs by adding the Voivodeship of Transylvania to our realm.
	Our spies are informing us that the rulers of Trebizond are scheming with their western allies to form a coalition against our empire. We must strike first and have them share the same fate as the rest of the Greeks.
	The coastal cities of Tripolitania have for decades now provided safe heavens to the pirates that raid our shipping. Our admirals propose that we establish direct Ottoman rule in the region to prevent these attacks.
	Tunis is more than a simple pirate port. It is the capital of a rival naval power with ties to the dreaded Turks, and must be destroyed before they can become a greater threat.
	Tunis is more than a simple pirate port. It is the capital of a rival naval power with ties to the dreaded Turks, and must be destroyed before they can become a greater threat.
	Tunis and Tripoli are the last remaining major ports in the Maghreb that we do not control. These too must become part of our domain.
	Tunis is haven for Barbary Pirates that constantly harass our merchants. If we were to take the port of Tunis and the surrounding coast for ourselves, we would not only weaken the pirates but also establish Genoa as a trade power in North Africa.
	Should Tunisia fall into Christian hands, our rule over North Africa might be challenged. Local populations under heavy pressure from Christians seeking to control the west Mediterranean will welcome our armies as saviors and protectors.
	The cities of Tuscany have long tempted the Dukes of Milan with their opulence. If we can incorporate them into our state, we will be well on our way toward our goal of establishing a powerful state in northern Italy.
	Once the rival of Muscovy, Tver has become increasingly irrelevant to Russian affairs. The city is ripe for the taking, for they surely cannot muster the force to defend themselves.
	Ulster sits precariously between the English and the Scots. The Irish people there would be safer under our protection.
	Sana'a is truly an ancient city. The estates associated with this historic location must be returned to us.
	The Dai Viet invaders must not only be driven back, but subjugated under our rule to ensure that they never pose a threat to Champa again.
	Visayas is the name of the central part of our archipelago. We must secure our power upon its nations before entering uncolonized land.
	The Welsh people once resisted English rule. Through cowardice and disunity they were subjugated. We will not repeat their mistakes.
	The Prince of Wallachia rules relatively poor land that the Sultan has no interest in ruling himself. However they do border our lands and it would be unwise to allow them to remain independent of us.
	The kingdom of Wanka guards the valleys between us and the rest of the northern Andes. As the Wankas have flatly rejected any offers to join our kingdom peacefully we must use military force to secure this strategically important location.
	With the fall of Mali our biggest rival has ceased to exist. All of the Niger, Sahel and Guinea is free for the taking, and the Maghreb can be contested without having to worry about attacks from our home region.
	Westphalia is the center of the textile production in western Gernamy. It would be wise to conquer this region and expand the textile infrastructure for both improving our army's uniforms and expanding our treasury.
	Xinan is a region which will serve as the path into the bordering regions to the South and West of our grand domain. Despite its rocky terrain, Xinan is home to large numbers of our people, all yearning to be led by a powerful emperor once again.
	The Northern Swahili coast is covered in wealthy trading cities where Indian and Persian merchants come to buy gold and Ivory in exchange for their own cloth and manufactured products. These trader cities are, however, quite precariously situated for someone controlling the open seas. Let us conquer these lands and put them firmly under Portuguese control.

	In the hills between Gujarat and the Malwa plateau lies the ancient and seemingly impregnable fortress of Champaner. This fort must become ours so that it can become our first line of defense.
	In 1398 the Great Timur sacked and destroyed the city of Delhi for their worship of Idols. It is time to return there and finish the job, Delhi must be conquered and sacked.

	The Scandinavian kingdoms have been a thorn in the side of the our people for centuries. They are in direct competition with us over the dominance of the trade in the Baltic Sea and a threat to us should they gather powerful allies in Europe. We must strike first and push into Scandinavia by conquering the lands of the Finnish for ourselves.

	Poland is weak and Russia wishes to continue to dominate her, for us to accept this situation we must be compensated with Polish lands.
	The hordes of Manchuria lie split. They once pledged allegiance to us, but they have decided to abandon us. Let us conquer them and bring them back to the Mongol Empire.
