simpervy: there are dialogue when the emperor ask Ali for an especial favor and he gives 50 gold ingots to make the ottoman empire growth and growth. This is a free event, you dont needed anything to payback. To be sure if you dont got a king mission, go to palace, enter if you got an unacoplished mission, you should see some dialogue about it like "we arent still allied with X number of ports. You will give up?"

Madie: in more of characters (Joao for sure, but i dont remember about others), you need to advance the plot to have japan in the map. For Joao, until the missionary doesnt start to ask you at every stop about Sipangu, you cant find it (Sipangu=Japan). To trigger this, i think that you need to be told at some tavern or at Lisboa after saving your father´s head... to truth, i dont remember but i can help you to advance the plot if you get stucked.
