Army period will be COASTAL ASIA AND AMERICAS, 1400 AD ONWARD. Allies only from below lists. If i have missed an obvious one, please email me or whatsapp on 07710 363466. Same goes for North American Lists that are no longer available in V3, ask and I may grant....

NB Update on feedback the Ming Chinese ally option on one list stipulates it must actually use the list from Yuan, rather than Ming. This still counts as Ming ally for army selection purpose.
