July 23, 1477 - New Land is Claimed in Sabah. 2000 extra people move in, manpower and tax value of the province both increase. Excellent.

January 1, 1478 - We have a new monarch, Raden Patah Senapati. He took over after out Monarh abdicated in his old age. Raden is good at diplomacy, excellent at war, and adequte administratively. I can only hope that Raden will stick around for a while.

February 28, 1478 - Bandung expands. More colonists sent.

December 21, 1478 - We lose a battle versus the rebels in Riau.

December 23, 1478 - Bengal declares war on Orissa. Vijaynagar and Jodhpur join forces with Orissa. Vijaynagar is adjacent to Pondicherry's Trading Post. Tibet, China, and Champa each dishonor our alliance. I feel comfortable doing likewise.
