All Under Heaven
4 Custom Nations to make playing in East Asia more interesting

Playing in East Asia in
>EU4
tends to be rather simplistic and boring. This is silly, given that the era included a golden age for the Chinese, the pseudo unification of Japan, and most importantly: pirates.

1/4
--------
The Wokou

China historically suffered from devastating raids at the hands of the Wokou Pirates during the EU4 time period, yet none of this is effectively modeled, and there is no real way for the Chinese to stamp out (or for the Japanese to support) piracy in the South China Sea.

The Wokou are a pirate republic that represent the motley band of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sailors that raided the coast. Their ideas focus around taking capitves & booty, with the end game focus of demanding tribute from vassal states.

As a shinto nation, they can't raid Japan, but in general they will make life much harder for Korean and Chinese rulers seeking peace in the Middle Kingdom.

2/4
----
The Haizei

The Japanese didn't have a monopoly on piracy in the South China Sea. Chinese pirates, such as Ching Shih (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ching_Shih) ravaged the coast for centuries.

Unlike the Wokou, who at least respect their fellow Japanese, the Haizei raid all nations with zeal. The Haizei have a late game colonist in their ideas to represent the attempts of Chinese pirates to colonize the Philippines in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Overall, play the Wokou if you want pure pirate shenanigans, whereas the Haizei have the potential to expand beyond a band of raiders.

>>150349358

3/4
------
Chinese traders ventured to Malaysia and Indonesia for centuries before the EU4 period, seeking wealth and prestige.

The Lanfong Republic represents these merchants, and provides a psuedo-Venetian experience for players who want to rule through trade in the East rather than conquest.

For an expansionist middle kingdom or a avaricious Haizei brotherhood, they provide an attractive target for vassalization, as their ideas provide a very powerful economic base.

4/4
------
Lastly, as more of a fantasy option, the republic of Zhenghai exists for those who want a different take on a South African experience.

Zheng He led the Chinese treasure fleet on a great number of voyages of discovery and trade. Several of these expeditions ranged as far as eastern Africa. Had the Chinese fleet attempted to cross the cape of good hope, a storm might have forced them ashore.

Zhenghai represents the colony that such a stranded Chinese fleet might found, and provides a colonial african experience as an Eastern culture.

The empire modifier to vassalage was a big mistake. Countries should be able to encroach on imperial territory via diplomacy, maybe with an option for the emperor to get a casus belli for non-members holding vassals in the HRE

>STILL fragmented after "unification" in the 19th century because Austria is left out

>Gets BTFO in WW1 and loses these colonies forever, even loses ethnic German land back in Europe although most Germans didn't move west after it
>Manages to annex what is left of Austria but gets BTFO again in WW2 and loses even more ethnic German land, this time forever with absolutely no chance of recovering it as Germans are forced out of the eastern territories throughout the 20th century, now there's no Germans east of the Oder
>Recently got themselves in a demographic hell by inviting millions of non-Western migrants who don't assimilate into their country (which is still not unified as Austria exists), can't do shit about it because of post-WW2 liberal guilt

So remind me, what's to like about these pathetic faggots? Seriously, nothing gets as bad. The UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Japan... no one. Germans are a total fucking joke who can't get anything done right but yet they're still liked here unironically, no matter how many grobgermanium memes are posted, this remains as a fact.

I don't know if they'll ever fix it, but vassalage should be a long-term process that can potentially be rushed but be potentially damaging to your country

What if you could annex entire civilized countries in one single war in games such as Vic or EU, like in HoI?

I always thought it was pretty dumb that you had to wait through truces every time you want to take a new region from the same country you had dominated entirely several times already. If said nation is seriously getting dominated hard every time with little effort, this scenario would pretty much make no sense whatsoever.

So you probably should be allowed to annex entire medium/small countries in one war, but suffer of a much higher infamy penalty than if you conquered these regions in separate wars.

Obviously, you would need to occupy the immense majority of their territory with a 100% warscore, otherwise it makes no sense.

Basically, it would be like a much more severe and demanding dismantle nation CB that puts you far over the infamy limit the moment you go for it, depending on the size of the country you want to annex.

And don't tell me that shit never happened historically.

Man, started CK2 the other day.

Oh, trust me, it is

It's very likely that Paradox's main dev team will work on DLC for HoI4 and Stellaris for two years maximum, and by then they will have a new game to propose

Victoria II is too old, and Paradox will inevitably want to revisit it

And what's with the "LOL DEMOCRACY MEANS UR CIVILIZED AND WESTERN MEME"?

Total shitholes like Russia, Austria, Ottomen, Serbia, Greece etc. were all ABSOLUTE FUCKING MONARCHIES in 1836. Most of Latin America has presidential dictatorships which are about the same. They had slavery or serfdom going on, little industrial production or technology. China were Japan are the same or even more tolerant, yet they're supposed to be inferior? How is any of that "civilized"?

At the very least they should be the same, but it's ridiculous to assume that China is less civilized/industrialized than shitholes like Haiti, Paraguay or Russia.

Reddit told me i could find the HPM author here. I have a question for him.

How come Communists can genocide people or have jingoism when they believe in equality and peace? Could you change this? Also can you add an event where you gradually turn stateless as a communist nation? Can you add more types of leftism as ideologies too?

Also can you remove civilization levels? The concept is extremely racist and outdated.

Thanks.

I'm going to hell for this. I am honestly a bad person desu.
For reals though, I expected the French to intervene but they're not. They're a strong GP at peace, and they don't seem to understand that their favorite kohai is getting rekt right now with this one simple trick and basically, they are fucking stupid.
Also America is sailing past on their way to force Japan back into their sphere, while Manchuria told me to fuck off when the Russians asked for Vladivastok (I didn't even know the AI would do that). The Kowloon incident probably won't ever fire, which is too bad because it would have activated a cheat for +0.5 RP which I put in a few days ago. Basically this game is going really oddly.

>>150369595

If you're getting desperate, you can try out fake Borderless mode (aka Windowed at your native resolution) which is normally used to get around hard crashes on poorly designed games that lock your commands

This should allow you to ALT+TAB freely, although you obviously won't be able to scroll around with your mouse anymore

I remember pavlos, does that make me old?

>>150372336
It did, bear in mind none of the "countries" in CK2 are actual countries/nations or even states. It's all just privately owned land. Chucklefuck II von habsburg could and did really feasibly own 3 different, disconnected counties, one would be his home and the others would be properties he got income from. It just really doesn't work for megacampaigns unless you put a lot of effort into simulating the end of feudalism and the rise of the centralized state, which no one ever does.

>>150372336
A ton of shit about CK2 is unrealistic. Marriages that would rarely happen in the medieval world happen all the time in CK2 and this leads to the world getting majorly fucked. There is no late game mechanics so the world never feels like it advances past the 1000's

Really the only thing realistic about that game is the feudal system and the way levies work.

Hello HPM.
If Qing reclaims Macau early in the game (pretty easy desu after Portugal got wrecked by rebels a lot), the "Sino-Qing Treaty of Friendship and Commerce" eventually shows up in the decisions.
Will you add "not = QNG" and "not = TPG" to the potential in order to keep this silly situation from happening? I couldn't ever take the decision, but it still doesn't belong.

>>150373497
That's about the proper amount. I've heard people having slightly more infantry than artillery (keep your cannons in the back longer) but it should be about half artillery.

>>150374042
>>150374415
omg cobra u got him gud XD omg im fuckin laughing IRL omg XD

>>150375287
i'm assuming the slight majority of infantry can be surrogated with cavalry?

How the h*ck are you meant to do anything in EU4 as an Incan country that's not Cusco?
Even revolts are impossible to put down because your troops suck ass and everywhere is mountain so unless you have Cusco's Skanderbeg tier starting general you lose every fight you try to start.

>>150375814
Usually, by the late game, you'll only have a trinket number of cavalry (unless you're Poland, in which case bloody winged hussars). The extra infantry can just be a backup group of mercs.

Earlier in the game, well. It depends on when, really, because you eventually reach the point where cavalry just isn't worth it.
