A quick change to some decisions/ events and also some bug fixes.
- Shangren Institute is now enacted by Catgirldom, NOT the Shang themselves. Previously, this may have prevented the China unification event from firing for some players since the AI doesn't always do a good job of saving money. After doing the Institute decision, the "Shang requests Huangdi" event will fire in about two years or so.
- Less requirements for forming Tenchi
- Turkic/ Tibetan assimilation events now work correctly
- Assimilation events now properly work for Tenchi
- Increased assimilation time for Han provinces before uniting China
- Decision to annex Mongolia after forming Tenchi if they're in your sphere
- Forming Tenchi gives less infamy
This update will work with saves from 1.00.
Have not had much time to play this update (barely past 1840) but so far its been phenomenal so far. I might have more recommendations but my first one is that old japan should be de-cored after finishing off the rebellion (how its de-cored is up to you).
Until then I look forward to future updates.
Thank you, I did mean to add a remove core event but I decided I wanted to give some options on what to do with the Old Japanese which would affect the event, instead of making a basic removal event like with Genroku, so I didn't get it out in this update. It'll be in the next one for sure. I also meant to add something for obtaining Sakhalin/ the Kurils but had to postpone it as well, so as a heads-up that hasn't been added yet.
OK a long time later and I found the time to (mostly) finish that game which was up until almost 1900 where I finally conquered china and discovered the "Tenchi" decision which was wild to put it mildly (not done the world conquest as of now).
Have not gone further but so far it was pretty good. China was kind of weak after taking Manchuria and basically took hit after hit with no chance of recovery (not that it was easy occupying all that land in the first place and not to mention Chinese rebellions were always looming.) Oh and I conquered Vietnam and Chinese armies decided to go there and attrition to death (I may or may not have completely forgotten to defend Vietnam/conquered it.)
The only problem I found was that the jiayuguan region (1488) of the Gansu region is not cored when the claim the coring china event occurs which meant I had to do two wars since I could not use a "restore order" war goal which meant I had to truce break which added militancy (did I mention the Chinese rebellions? At least it did not end up being a 1 million strong rebellion for once).
In terms of continuation ideas I think you should also maybe consider some sort of "manifest destiny" but eastwards into the Americas into California and other American/Mexican territory as that could be very interesting.
Overall great experience.
My only other concern would be what would have happened if the Taiping heavenly kingdom won as for this game it did not happen and I imagine it could mess up a event chain (or might not! I can test if you want)
Hey, very late reply because I've stopped working on this mod (for now) as I've joined a modding team for EU4 and am working on my own game also, but I thought I'd reply since I just saw this and I might as well give some info to anyone who happens to download this in the future!
Firstly thanks for playing it through, it's nice to see someone get all the way through the content :D and yeah conquering the world is kinda a final bonus for anyone wanting to undertake the challenge, it's kinda tedious though as you'll be powerful enough to take on about anyone after conquering china but it takes a long time to get the AI to accept that peace offer (ESPECIALLY russia).
In my playthrough the rebellions weren't too bad but I may tweak it at some point to not give as much militancy. The jiayuguan region lacking a core was on purpose - I wanted to make taking China take more than 1 war to do since I thought just doing 1 would be too easy, as the Qing would be quite weak by that point, meaning you can wait or truce break.
I did account for the Heavenly Kingdom (I think), I never tested a playthrough where they won but in the actual code I'm pretty sure I accounted for that anywhere it mattered.
Maybe at some point I'll make some more content or at least some additional little changes to this mod, for example I planned to make it so that every culture in game will assimilate to some version of catgirl culture (right now only Turkic, Tibetan, Mongolian, Russian, Manchu, Korean, and Chinese (/ southern chinese and vietnamese) will actually convert.
