Politics for the country that is

Thank you, I will, XD apparently creating a focus tree is a huge hassle so it may take longer than expected, I have the political parts of it set up though

@TimberWolf024

Good luck with it, keep me informed about it.

Hey, I thought I'd let you know since you asked; I am working on something, I'm getting the focus tree set up for the first nation then I'm planning on posting it and continue development of it (I'm planning to add multiple countries)

Okay that's good, like I said I'm new to modding so I don't know all of the commands yet (the things you'd put in the .txt file that is) - I appreciate the help I'm sure these questions have been annoying lol

@TimberWolf024

Certain things will collide, but if you copy one and edit it a bit you could use it.

I assume you can't use another oob (for another country) as the base

@TimberWolf024

It's in history/units, something called "oob". It seems complicated but simple in reality, though it's boring and monotonous to do.

How did you get the units placed? I can't figure it out XD

I will message you, i'm considering a mod that simply adds in the Qing (just to be clear it won't be a copy of yours just China re-designed it'll still have the base game focus tree)

@TimberWolf024

You can't prevent the collapse, the mod would lose its purpose.
I have seen that video already, those things shown in the video were used for the mod. Anyway, if you have some progress with your first mod message me, I'm curious.

@Kvasz I'm sure you have seen this however just in case you haven't, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XulAELfxPDc
I think you're mod is pretty decent and they'll only get better

Alright, I'll do that, I appreciate the advice :) - I'm hoping to work myself up to total conversion mods

@TimberWolf024

This mod was made in around 20 hours and I'm a beginner modder myself. If you wish to start creating mods check out the Iron Workshop on Youtube (pretty much everyone recommends him because he's truly the best), start with smaller mods (I would say even this mod is too big for a first mod) and slowly start doing more complex things, always experiment with new things. Good luck with it!

@Kvasz I'm curious; How hard was it to make this mod? I'd like to start making mods for this game myself

Well of course I didn't mean now, this mod is new, you're welcome

@TimberWolf024

I have some plans for the mod already and thus it won't be in the next update but I'll think about it, thanks for the idea.

Could you make a mod that adds in the Ming or Han dynasties?

you need a gay nazi focus for when Ernst Rohm coups that hitler guy

@Lemmon99

Thanks for the ideas, I'll get the first two into the mod but the third one is unlikely, I'll probably add more content to the current ones in the future but no more contenders. The update will come on Monday/Tuesday based on how much time I'll have.

Ok so Chinese history and culture isnt my strongpoint however I have a couple of ideas off the top of my head-
Firstly, it'd be cool if you had the Mukden Incident where Japan invaded Manchuria. Maybe do this through Japan sending an ultimatum like how the Marco Polo Bridge Incident is in vanilla.
Secondly, I thought of maybe having a focus where you exchange Hong Kong and/or Guangzhouwan with Britain and/or France for either a guarantee or lend leases to help reconquer China.
Oh and also itd be super cool to see more warlords like the ones that are on the Beautiful States Mod, just to help fill up the map.
Hope some of these help but yea, defo keeping my eye on this mod :))

@Lemmon99

Thanks for the feedback! If you have some suggestions I would gladly read them. I had to postpone the next update but it should come out next week, check it out once it's updated.

Yo this is actually really cool, can't wait til its all polished and filled out

@Kvasz That's awesome. I hope you win :)

@Apecage

I have quite some plans, just this mod was made for a modding competition and it's still not over so I can't update it past the deadline (April 26th). Once it's done, I'll tag you so you can check it out. Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely deal with the research issue (probably 3 starting research slots for each Chinese country, +1 in economy tree, +1 when you unify China). I also thought of adding a plus research tree with one-time research buffs, we'll see.

@Kvasz

Thanks for the quick reply. You're totally right, I forgot about that, I should've chosen one of the other countries if I wanted to become Communist or Fascist.

I know this mod is still new and it's a work-in-progress but I just wanted to say that I believe there should be one or two extra research slots in the focus trees as once the unification war is done and you've annexed japan, you will have a huge industry but only three research slots, which makes the industry feel kind of useless as you can only produce rifles and artillery for many years until you have researched more conventional weaponry.

I would suggest to either give the country research slots or to nerf its industry with some kind of spirit and then give said country research slots and remove its limits on industry once unified.

I really enjoyed the mod so far, so great job on that.

@Apecage

I realized that I forgot to publish the version where you can get rid fully of The Qing Collapse debuff, also I forgot to implement switching back to the Qing Empire as Beijing. I'll fix these issues when I upload the version with Tibetan content, I'll do it in 1-2 days. Also about the fascist and communist advisors: if you wish to play as a fascist you can choose Xibei San Ma, for communists you have East Turkestan and Communist China. Might add these advisors later but I don't plan to do it yet. Thanks for the feedback!

Also, there's no way to change back to "Qing Empire". You stay as "Free City of Beijing" until the end of the game and there are no fascist demagogues or communist revolutionaries.

How do I get rid of the "The Qing Collapse" National Spirit? I went down the normal path, killed the anarchists, stayed as Qing, defended against Japan when they did Marco Polo, killed all the small fake chinas and now I'm training troops to go for the "knock out japan focus". I somehow managed to win against Japans invasion (I think I got really lucky cause I wiped out about 20-30 units when they naval invaded me) and kicked them out of korea/manchu so they white peaced out.

@Dougulas

Yeah I thought so, it was more for the other people who wanted to write it curiously why they aren't bigger. Thanks for reminding me to write that down!

ikr i was just joking

@Dougulas

There were gameplay reasons why China doesn't have Sakhalin, Macau, Hong Kong and other smaller bits, mainly I didn't want to nerf Japan too much, also certain territories have important meaning outside of the Chinese theatre (like Hong Kong as a British naval base).

But yes, China could've been bigger, but I think this one is probably enough.

china but absolute chad

next step: north and south sakhalin, hongkong, macao, ryukyu islands, mandalay and arunal-pradesh are also chinese



♥♥♥♥ yeah
