What do you guys think of this SE Asia? The British and Dutch exhausted eachother fighting over eachother's outposts during the Revolutionary Wars, leaving the way open for a powerful Chinese merchant house to seize Java and subvert political power in Malaya, and the native sultans to assume control locally elsewhere, meanwhile the Vietnamese drive to the south has been slower than historically due to an increased presence against the Thai in Laos, leaving the Mekong delta still Khmer.

The Koh Kongsi will get events to expand their influence across Indonesia, both militarily and economically while fighting the Portuguese, Dutch and Spanish over the Moluccas and Borneo and the French and British over Sumatra.

How about giving them something like the Zulu bonus in vanilla? +20% attack and defence that gets removed once they westernize.

I would argue against administration because if it's a business, they would still need to evolve as a business to function better as a government. On the other hand, it could be that they are a very well-run merchant house without any inner faction squabbling and have those reforms at the start.

Our intelligence suggest the Red Army bolsters more than 450 infantry divisions and a handful of tanks, outnumbering us more than 2 to 1.
Operation barbarossa was launched on june 21st 1943; while the strength of the Red Airforce is impressive, their ground forces are disorganized and ill equipped.

Chief of the army de Gaulle suggest we temporarily create a static line so that our men on the front can enjoy the nice summer weather, and hopefully give the soviets some time to reinforce and redeploy.

Slavery was institutionalized, buying slaves is expensive, much easier to make your own people into slaves

>Serfdom is the status of many peasants under feudalism, specifically relating to manorialism. It was a condition of bondage, which developed primarily during the High Middle Ages in Europe and lasted in some countries until the mid-19th century.

>Serfs who occupied a plot of land were required to work for the lord of the manor who owned that land, and in return were entitled to protection, justice and the right to exploit certain fields within the manor to maintain their own subsistence. Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also his mines, forests and roads. The manor formed the basic unit of feudal society, and the lord of the manor and his serfs were bound legally, economically, and socially. Serfs formed the lowest social class of feudal society.

Christianity kinda forbade it, and European slavery only started again in the 16th and 17th Centuries, when people started justifying it by coming up with racial theories. Medieval Europe didn't really need slaves; lords had their serfs, and in the cities, paid workers did most of the work.
The Muslims, however, did trade in slaves; Berber pirates (the Barbary States) plundered Mediterranean coastal towns every once in a while (though later their raids extended to Iceland, the Netherlands, and even the USA), and some Jewish traders (the Radhanites, look them up, interesting stuff) took up the old trade routes of the Romans and occasionally traded slaves as well.

Setting up Japan, Osaka is a Portuguese colony, Edo is Dutch, everything east of Oda is Shinto and friendly with the Dutch while everything in the west is Catholic and friendly with the Portuguese. The Catholics have the initial advantage of extra reforms but the Portuguese and Dutch will pass along certain technologies as they research them to their sphere of influence and the Dutch obviously have better research than the Portuguese. Everyone gets a CB on everyone else to unify Japan and once they have it all they can reform as one of two Japanese tags, Christian or Shinto.

How's that sound? And do any Japan experts/weaboos have big problems with these borders?

>>
The Rhineland event chain is about 50% done, however I won't put in the buffing Prussia stuff until a later update. I'll probably have the new version out by tomorrow or Tuesday

A few other things to expect:

>Your cores on Quebec get removed once you retake it; they only appear there initially to give you the CBs needed to take the place.

>If you want to federalize your pan-french Empire, you'll have to wait until 1880-1920. The lower your militancy is, the sooner you can do it (So if you have incredibly low militancy you can do it by 1880 or so, but if your country self-identifies as a rebel movement and then you'll have to wait a few more decades)

>Fixed a few bugs, such as the "claim Catalonia" decision never going away

>Removed the claim Piedmont decision, conquer it yourself if you want it

>Removed the bug allowing you to form Italy as France

>Changed it so that you must take the (new) "embrace pan-french nationalism" decision before you can go for Quebec or the Swiss-French

Also, since someone in an earlier update wanted a way to partition France:
http://strawpoll.me/7135715
http://strawpoll.me/7135715
http://strawpoll.me/7135715

The gist of it would be that, as Nazi Germany, if you own the Sudetenland and Austria proper, you can use a decision to get a conquest cb on France for 100 infamy. If you succeed, you then get a second decision to release Vichy France out of the south (basically the old Occitia tag).

Edo wasn't an important city until the Shogunate made it important. In fact, it was a fishing village. If Japan was colonized during the Sengoku period, the colonial government would set up shop in Kyoto.

Ezo was slightly colonized, I should probably have them just have Hakodate, if anything though less central authority would probably mean more Japanese up there with people escaping the civil wars and the local lords doing whatever the fuck they want with no oversight.

As for the colonies, it's mainly to represent trading interests and to give them a base to get involved and help out their friends. Edo as mentioned was unimportant so it fits as a Dutch base, I picked Osaka since it's an important commercial centre and there'd be no one to really stop the Portuguese, but I could make it Nagasaki.

Good location, close to their allies, far from their rivals. There's really not many important cities in that part of Japan until the shogunate made Tokyo Tokyo though as far as I know, the commercial centres were all around Kyoto-Osaka. It's possible it could have grown into an important commercial centre out of the fishing village it was because of Dutch patronage and security too.

I'll leave it up to you guys though, which ports should I give the Dutch (in the northeast) and the Portuguese (in the southwest)?
