is it actually possible to annex parts of china as japan? I cant remember correctly but once they go western you arent allowed to take chunks of them, only ports

>>16099481

Yes, you can ask for colonies bigger than ports once you have land bordering China. That's in HFM with Anon's submod at least.

>>16099503

what about the rest of GPs, can they also do it if they have lands bordering china?

>>16099601

>>16099583

>>16099503

>>16099481

I've read cb_types.txt for normal HFM and:

>if a state has less than 600,000 pops total you can always take it

>for coastal regions you need naval directionism (naval logistics for Japan) and machine guns (not required for Japan), you can't have any non-colonial provinces bordering the region you want to take (not ANY provinces for Japan - this is probably to activate the second set of requirements and make taking regions after you make treaty ports into states more difficult)

>for any other regions, you can never take ones with more than 2,000,000 pops; you need machine guns, military logistics, integral rail system (steel railroad for Japan) and the region NEEDS to border a non-colonial province with a railroad in it

So in several ways, requirements actually get more steep if you have a treaty port bordering the region, but once you meet them you can take them as non-colonial states (they merge with the state containing the treaty port and the whole becomes non-colonial) so it's a trade-off.

t. retard who takes everything at face value

Neither Hitler or Stalin had any good intentions towards each other. The Molotov-Rippentrop pact was not an act of permanent friendship.

>>16111319

To be honest NAP would have been fine if Germans had bothered to tell the Nips that it was ruse instead of real. That failure of communication was pretty much the worst mistake Nazi leadership did since without access to Vladivostok would have lost majority of the lend-leased supplies which prevented it from collapsing. It's also debatable whether or not Roosevelt's administration could have succeeded in provoking attack from Nips or convincing the public of the necessity to defend commies.

>t. retard

Japanese would surely be thrilled to attack USSR when they were already at war with China for two fucking years, it it only weren't for Molotov-Ribbentrop.

>>16111123

>>16111369

Discussing northern road by the time Japanese were already at war with China is pointless, as they never would have actually gone through with it even had Khalinin Gol ended favourably. Japanese main concern was the lack of resources, and the war with China steadily ate through their reserves. Even had they decided to adopt a defense policy in the south and simply switched to defense, instead focusing on the north, it wouldn't have helped them – while there are plenty of resources in Siberia, the bulk of them was still untapped and the infrastructure was often non-existent – it would take years just to trasport the mining equipment there from Japan, start mining operations, and build the roads and railways necessary to actually transport these resources somehwhere useful, all the while fighting back chinks from the south and russians from the west, not to mention the partisan activity over the massive fucking territory that is Siberia – it would be a logistical nightmare and Japan would run out of resources all the sooner, without accomplishing its goals. Perhaps if the Japanese attacked USSR in 1941 (rather than suggested 1939) in conjunction with Barbarossa, they could hope for a quick victory in Siberia as USSR would focus its units west, but even then it wouldn't actually help them with finishing the job in China, and more importantly, in 1941 the war in China was already taking significantly longer than expected and Japanese resources were stretching thin (which led to the desperate attack on USA in attempt to gain resources from Dutch Indies, Phillipines, and other western colonies). In reality, Japan lost its chance to go with the northern road plan in 1937, when it went to war with China. Had they waited for Hitler to start Barbarossa (as I doubt Japan could actually beat USSR in a 1 on 1 fight, even if we take the purges into account), they could have gained Siberia and taken on China later, but of course, nobody could have known such things would happen back in 1937 – Hitler didn't even Anschluss Austria back then and didn't seem like the head of a superpower, and worse yet, Germany seemed to be interested in cooperating with China rather than Japan due to the Sino-German cooperation.

Got the changelog lad?

ive been tied up with university since november more or less.

>>16112806

V1.44D:
•	New flags for Fascist and Monarchy Tibet. 
•	Gave china several montane farmland terrain provinces in Yunnan and Guizhou

•	Reworked the Aridoamerica alliance and vassalization decisions.
•	The player can now choose whether to accept or reject a GP building the Panama/Suez canal on their clay.
•	Fixed Austin still being a port.
•	Added a decision for Texas/Rio Grande to claim Texas/Rio Grande if either nation doesn’t exist.
•	Added 4 new sea provinces: St. Lawrence River, Lower Don, Lower Volga and Danube Delta.
•	Added a portage/canal-type province to the Welland Canal which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Eire.

Found the base mechanics to be fine, my only complaints are how fucking retarded ally AI can be. You can attack the enemy with you ally on the same tile and they will just sit there as your unit wittles away. Not to mention drawing offensive lines is clunky as hell. Also a huge pain to do naval invasions, don't remember how they where in HOI3.

Don't think anything's wrong with 2.8.3, I just never found hotfixes past 2.8.1 for a pirated version whenever I grabbed 2.8, so I played on that version with mods. HIP worked despite being for 2.8.3 as well, so CK2+ is probably fine.

Around 80% of the US-lend-lease arrived through the port in Vladivostok, significantly smaller portion through port in Murmansk and other routes. Look it up and you quickly see why Germany failing to communicate with Japan properly was major fuck up since despite their limited capabilities for assistance taking or at least blockading Vladivostok would have been relatively easy for Imperial Japan.

>>16111586

You are correct in saying that lack of resources drove Japan to attack Western colonies & US as per Nanshin-ron, but you forget that the key factor behind the attack was the US trade embargo which was only implemented after Japan took control of French Indochina. While Japan's position via resources was bad, until US stopped the oil trade there was no pressing need to invade colonies. If Germans had played the diplomacy game better & had Japan attack USSR during Barbarossa it can be argued that it would have been able to hang on depending on how its trade partners such as US & Dutch in control of Indonesian oil would have reacted. Given the hostility of the US leadership against Japan over the perceived rivalry over Pacific I would give Japan 40% odds of retaining their resource trade. Even in the fucked up case they would have likely managed to hang on since war with USSR would not have required the costly naval operations to the extent that Pacific War against US did. Take note that USSR would have been in no position to send troops to Asian front beyond the forces already stationed there. With Japan being able to at least deny US aid from arriving via Far East Asia despite the flaws of their ground forces Germany would have collapsed USSR pretty damn quickly.

While the US embargo was devastating to Japan oil reserves, they were rapidly running out of other resources as well. They hadn't expected the war in China to take this long. Even had they retained the trade channels open (which is dubious given Roosevelt's stance), it wouldn't have solved their problems, only alleviated them. That is besides the point, however, as we are talking 1941 – a time when Japan is fully invested all over China and in dire need of resources. They couldn't just go and attack USSR, not without basically abandoning their gains in China (which wouldn't go well with the public, or anyone, really.) While USSR did move most of its forces west, it only did so after learning that Japan would not attack them - they would have kept their troops there and Japan would need to actually fend them off from invading Manchuria, else Japan would lose all of the mainland, meaning Japan definitely would need to move its forces out of China. All the while low on resources and running out of time fast. It was simply a scenario they couldn't win – perhaps it would lead to Germany to winning the war against USSR, but it would sure as shit lose the war for Japan, and there's no way Germany would go all around the world to fight Japan's wars for it. That's why Japan didn't go through with the northern road and instead chose a desperate plan that, however, did hold a small possibility of success – acquire resources from colonies with which to prolong its fighting capabilities in China, which they would hopefully manage to wrap up quickly. That, however, did not happen and while the acquisition of colonies did alleviate the resource pains considerably, it also put further requirements on Japanese manpower as more fronts opened (In Burma, for example). Japan likely hoped that Hitler would kill USSR on his own (and it did look that way at the end of 1941) and then mop up brits and negotiate peace with USA. And, honestly, it's not even that bad a plan and it likely would have worked, had USSR not managed to unexpectedly push germans back. In the end, Japan lost WW2 because of exactly two wrong assessments:

1. They would be able to defeat china by 1941

2. Hitler would defeat USSR without Japanese help

>>16116517

>>>/leftypol/

Kill yourself.

>>16116486

Maybe defeat the Republic of China, but defeat the walrords and communists, they already had some manpower restraints in the chinese front before the Russian invasion of Manchuria thanks to the need of garrison of invaded pacific islands and western colonies (this happened after the sanctions imposed thanks to the bloody saturday scandal), also problems whit their military maritime focus, the usage of armour would have been of great help in mainland china, but still all the inland supply lines after when the japanese took Nankin and were fighing in the mainland were treatened by partisan activity, the second sino-japanese war was a mess.

warlords and commies didn't have much in the way of military. Commies mostly involved themselves with partisans, warlords mostly moved their troops under Nat. China command.

>>16116486

I agree with you about Japan being in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"-situation in 1941. However I believe you overestimate the USSR's capabilities while underselling Nips a tad. Were the Nips in position for large-scale invasion of Far East Russia? Obviously not. But I would argue that they had enough to hold on until Nazis would wreck the Soviets while taking easier coastal targets likely Vladivostok or at least preventing foreign aid from going through it.

You are right in saying that Germans would not have been willing or able to help much even with USSR defeated, but at that point US & Allied leaderships would have been forced to reconsider their stances. Do remember that Chinese would have faced their own difficulties the further they pushed Japanese back while reducing the strain on Nip logistics. Japan's entry into war would have likely forced them to cede ground back to Chinese initially, but they would have still been able to hold on to the coastal regions where most of China's industry was located aside from those that were hastily evacuated to Chongqing. Nips certainly could not win against Chinamen, but they could certainly stalemate them. In that situation I would see eventual uneasy ceasefire and China split between United Front and Japanese. Both of those would be unstable as fuck with republicans, communists, warlords and god knows what else on one side while Japanese portion of China would have been equally fucked with Manchurian experiment & puppet Chinese government having their strings pulled by competing Japanese factions inside the mess that was Great East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.

tl;dr: there's no guarantee that Japan deciding to adapt the Hokushinron instead of Nanshinron would have been force option like you insist, though given Imperial Japan's ability to shoot themselves in the foot I understand your doubts

>>16111319

Absolutely incorrect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantokuen

>>16116486

Dude. You need to stop thinking of the war in China as a traditional "War against China". It was not so. It was communist chinese agitating Japanese forces on the fringes of their sphere of control. The Japanese were not at war against China, which is why it "took longer than expected". The Japanese never wanted to invade China but were forced to keep Chinese agitation at bay while they frantically tried several options for peace. The problem was there was no central authority who could sign something like a peace treaty because China was in the middle of a civil war and the commies would not stop their shit after they forced the nationalist Chinese into a "unified front" against "Japanese aggression" and rape propaganda was very useful for this.

It was always referred to as "problems in China" or something along those lines, not "the war against China" and only later did it become known as The 2nd Japan-Sino War.

What Japan wanted most throughout WWII was peace, same as Hitler, but due to the unique position of the Tennou as a representation of the spirit of Japan rather than a sovereign ruler meant the factionalized military junta, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister could never see eye to eye on how to achieve peace, drawing things out further. Politics were a mess in Japan at the time, which is the primary reason for them losing a war they never wanted. The 2-26 incident and the Kodoha were trying to remedy the situation before it began so they could Hokushin-ron in peace, but Japan never got in control of it's political situation.

>>16116930

>But I would argue that they had enough to hold on until Nazis would wreck the Soviets while taking easier coastal targets likely Vladivostok or at least preventing foreign aid from going through it.

Probably so, but at the cost of needing to divert large amounts of resources and manpower to the northern front, with no resource acquisition in sight. It's not that they couldn't take Valdivostok – they certainly could, even with increased soviet presence – but it wouldn't get them the resources they so desperately needed, while taking resources from the Chinese theatre, where they were already suffering shortages. It's not that the Japanse didn't recognise their strategic opportunities and capabilities, it's that defeating USSR was a much lower priority when compared to defeating China. Imagine for a moment that Japanese never went through with Pearl Harbour and instead got Vladivostok – it wouldn't solve their resource issues one bit and it'd just get taken by China as it pushed the out-of-resources Japan out of the mainland. Hitler winning the war against USSR and taking out allies only became relevant to the Japanese AFTER they seized the colonies which would resolve their resource issues.

>Do remember that Chinese would have faced their own difficulties the further they pushed Japanese back while reducing the strain on Nip logistics.

It would reduce the strain on transportation, but that would be of little solace to the Japanese when they would have nothing left to transport. Again, Japan went through the whole war in China by burning through the resource reserves they amassed during peacetime – after they ran out, that would be it. Japan couldn't continue the war effort, no matter how good its strategic position would be. The solution to this problem were supposed to be the colonies, but to get those, Japan would need to declare war on Allies, and that requires the southern road, not the northern road.

utilise terrain (mountains especially) for defense and encircle for offense. For proper encircling tactics, you need to go fast, meaning you should have some motorised brigades tactically placed to do the encircling or even utilise airborne assaults (those need a lot of tech and IC to unlock and build, though, so they're more of a luxury option). If you plan to play defensive (for example wait for someone else to beat the asshole attacking you), you generally do not want to waste time with land fortifications as they take forever to build, cost a lot, and only become wothwhile on level 5 and higher. Only exception would be if there's a particular bottleneck they could be used in or if you have no manpower with which to build troops – then the forts would be viable.

In case you are attacking USSR with Germany, you absolutely must go fast and and encircle as much as possible, defense be damned. Soviets are using ALL of their IC to shit out infantry divisions, have basically infinite manpower, and you WILL get overwhelmed if you allow the war to go on for too long. If you're invading China with Japan, you can use a more relaxed pace and just gradually take province by province – chink troops are too shit to actually counterattack as long as you put about 9 INF in a province and they have very low IC, meaning you should out-produce them. A good tactic is to grab all of their IC and laugh as they're left unable to produce any supplies. Just make sure you don't run out of resources.

>>16132639

What if I am France and the enemy on my doorstep is superior in manpower while not having Soviet-tier basic infantry?

Air combat in general is a massive waste of time and you can just ignore it entirely. Besides, allied air units from Britain will probably hold off the Luftwaffe on their own.

Damn, I actually never tried playing as France. From my experience, though, the moment France loses Lille, it all goes downhill from there, so try holding that at all costs.

I'm deeply saddened that despite the well deserved hate for paradox no one decided to laugh at the layers upon of layers of fat on the often dancing lead developer of eu4. Truly, the barbarians have taken over.

Either that was removed in D&T or it's specific to the Ming.

I started out during the Yuan rebellion. Not very challenging as there are several rebel states, but it means that the map will always look different once the Yuan are out of the picture. Then it's just the classic EU3 game of allying with B to take down A, then with C to take down B until you're the only dynasty left. It's a lot more fun than starting as unified China.

I could have stopped after I colonized America, but in D&T unified Japan is more or less as strong as China. After a first unconclusive victory, I built a large fleet for the specific purpose of defeating the Japs. The screenshots are after the second war, where I destroyed their entire fleet (the AI is still stupid) and took their overseas possession. 30 years later and they've already gotten a hundred ships. Also, I made them convert to the Chinese religion just to fuck with them.

You seem like a miserable cunt tbh mate.

Japan let the US convoy through their waters for no reason? or was it because the shipping was done by the soviets? i mean it just seems ridiculous to me, even without communication with germany japan shouldn't let an enemy nation do whatever they want in their territorial waters.

What the fuck japan?

>>16137982

I've actually never played Vicky. Still think CK2 is shit.

It's on hold, I'm taking a break due to wagecuck and exhaustion from modding the game for 1yr+ nonstop.

>i can only assume they didn't want to anger the soviets, but still, seems bizarre to me.

yes, that was it. they were already fighting a long war in china at the time, and didn't want to involve themselves in another huge land conflict. in addition, shipping to vladivostok was handled entirely by soviets and didn't include equipment or ammunition, it was just food and other non-military goods so japan couldn't have interfered with it on the basis that shipping weapons through their waters violated their neutrality.

Skirmishes along the Soviet-Japanese border made it clear that the Soviet army quality was way above Japan and they'd absolutely crush Japan. Which is exactly what happened when the Soviet army did actually invade.
