This is the correct answer.
Perhaps, but you get to write your own history from this point on. keep in mind that some of the advice you will get here will be quite good. Other times it will be terrible. Or you might get very good advice that is difficult and complicated to carry out.
I repeat: Please include turn 3 stats at the top of your turn 4 orders.

You did, thanks.I did.
Note to all: if you plan on any voyages of exploration, please let me know how many ships you are sending. Thanks.

OOC: Did explorations IRL ever send more than a handful of ships?
@Birdjaguar Is Nepal or Tibet going to be represented in any form? Theoretically speaking if I were to dispatch an army across the Himalayas to invade China like my illustrious ancestor Muhammad bin Thaglaq did would those fellows get in the way?

Hail Divine Emperor!
OOC: Out of curiosity, how was Muhammad bin Thaglaq in anyway illustrious?

Dispatch an army ACROSS the himalaya? Are you attacking (We all know what)? Cuz then you told us all your plan with a question that should have been PMed.
It takes a special sort of person to invade Persia, China, and Gujarat simultaneously, managing to lose all three armies, while also forcibly moving the capital and all its citizens over 700 miles away to a distant city and then moving all of them back essentially depopulating the capital entirely, but not before trying to convert the currency from gold and silver to copper draining the treasury and wrecking the economy, all before finally resulting in the destruction and mass revolt of your empire.
That sort of fellow only comes about once a century. Maybe illustrious isn't the best word, but he's certainly one of the more intresting and colorful Sultan's of Delhi. He did certainly have some quasi-modern idea's like a rudimentary form of progressive taxation, where peasants would pay according to their means and success of the harvest. And to some degree he was genuinely concerned about the welfare of his people though he was sadly prone to half-baked ideas, (rather like Mao now that I think of it). In some ways he was a man ahead of his times. A NESer I suspect.
Yes I've decided to do it in honor of Muhammad bin Thuglaq.
Think this through man....think this through....
Of course you can send an army across the Himalayas. I would expect they would encounter every kind of difficulty before any of them reached China. Map your route carefully for me.
BTW, Muhammad bin Thaglaq does sound quite interesting.

Hasn't he been dead ~100 years?

I have my orders written. Right now, I'm trying to make good stories for those orders...

Devious orders are easly, story inside the orders are much harder: you have to balance everything AND yet provide an 'image' of success.
I'll add some for Asia.
