How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, March 19th:
1279 – A Mongolian victory at the Battle of Yamen ends the Song dynasty in China.

1920 – The United States Senate rejects the Treaty of Versailles for the second time (the first time was on November 19, 1919).

1) Which states should I conquer in order to westernize as Shogunate Japan? Blobbing into somewhere like Vietnam seems gamey.
2) How much of Manchuria should I annex directly?
What's the soonest you can reasonably hope to westernize as Imperial Japan in HPM?
>>135689525
All of it. Get naval logistics/ whatever tech you need and fully unite both countries.
>>135689754
late 40s or early 50s
>>135690642
Have you ever actually done it in the '40s? Because that sounds like bullshit.
>>135690774
Nope, I was mainly guessing.
I usually do it it '55 or the 60s, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone managed it earlier.
>>135690642
I think I've done it in late 40s before but I don't remember the dates by head. You can do it pretty fast if you conquer shit.
In the Stellaris previews Tutorials are given by a robot.
We know that AI revolts are an end game threat, if any empire delves too deep into AI techs.
When the revolt happens, I want Tut-Bot to be the one to declare war on me. It is only fair that the one that saw all of my bungling diplomacy and development is the one to tell me that meat/fungibags are shit.

1848 was the earliest I've done it, you start almost done and the Japanese substates constantly get handed RP and bonuses for free. Shogunate takes a little longer.
Does anybody know if its possible as the Danubian Federation to later accept any cultures that reject the proposal to form the Federation?

Not really, considering democracies can't genocide, he'd have to flip dictatorship.
Plus there's be no point as he couldn't get cores there anyway. The dynamic coring event is shit, it's 2 infamy a province and takes about 50 years to fire, for each province.

Looks like French commitment to Russia won out, even though the French are allied with the Ottomans in the Crimean war they're clearly at war with the Ottomans.

It's funny you mention that because I had thought it was the reverse in reality.

Why is Benin so horribly misrepresented in paradox games?

Benin was one of the most powerful, high-tech and crime free cities in the world, obviously in beautiful Africa.
>>135699616
Algerians and Tunisians are nearly white passing, Moroccans just a shade darker.
And then the three countries have somewhat large oppressed black minorities. But who cares about them, they're not oppressed by white people, so it doesn't count.

Hey, /gsg/
I hope some of you still play Darkest Hour. I'm the guy that posts the peace without victory mod games if you saw them, you should pick it up, the start date is in 1920. Lots of alternate history wanking and flavor that DH enables - although it's still not fully fleshed out in the way some mods are, the last update was on the 9th, and there's already a lot here.
-Habsburgs can reclaim and reform their pre-war empire and ally with Nazi Germany (I know the Habsburgs hated the Nazis, but just role with it and have fun)
-Action Francaise can win elections in 1924, creating a new French monarchy
Right now I'm a Greece that won the post-war conflict with the T*rk, allied with the Little Entente that just got rocked by a resurgent Habsburg empireI just dragged the Allies into the fight.

That Prussia is positively Epic my friend.
So I redid Taiwan in HPM, reshaped provinces and added in one, as well as adding in Asian Minor Animist pops to represent the Taiwanese aboriginals. Now the Chinese are clustered along the western coastal plains and the mountainous interior is severely less populated.
The pop numbers are a rough estimate based on estimates of there being between 100 and 200 thousand aboriginals on the island at the time, and the 1930 census showing that they made up around 4% of the population.

Also there's another bug I got in this game. My cores in Austria got occupied by North Italian patriots but the cores reverted to me anyway. I think someone else had similar issue a few days ago.

Fusione perfetta. The decision removes the cores and adds south italian as accepted, but it doesn't reduce militancy.
I will take a look at the patriot rebels stuff. THey are largely NNM and had some problems with wrong scopes before.
