Breaking 1.35 Korea Before Domination Even Releases (I'm Sorry Paradox)

Get the Domination expansion here!: www.nexus.gg/q...
Okay technically I could've gotten -235% dev cost in the capital by the end but I decided not to do things I didn't have to. Anyway, Korea in 1.35 Domination is absolutely busted lol

OKAY TECHNICALLY THE THUMBNAIL IS A LIE. I could've actually gotten it to -240% instead of just -190% I'm sorry :(

[@Donerci_Pikacu_Usta]

Like -190% is not much… Oh god. No problem btw bc you sucessfully demonstrated how broke this Korea is.

[@l0lLorenzol0l]

Paradox figured out that letting the youtubers have a preview copy and asking for them to report back how broken it is is not only cheaper but way more efficient at bugfixing and playtesting, especially after Dharma.

[@xpaganda]

Also think about the hype. More sales for them.

[@zanderaw]

They won't fix it lol. Their model is to break the game every update, get people to buy it to play the new broken features, and then fix it later. Remember this dude is being paid for this, don't be a sucker

[@alaynakoman9420]

It just launched and the game won't even run for me, so if that was their plan... it didn't work 😕

The Koreans did the exact opposite thing and radically criticized Qing instead, prompting them to invade them twice. But the Koreans still said, "Fuck you, Qing. We never acknowledged Mongolia either." and started thinking that they were the last mandate holders. Absolute chads.

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

One cool idea I wish they looked into for the Empire of China would have been that if you're an Asian country that isn't a Horde and you take the Mandate, then take most of the provinces in China, you could fully switch over to being a Chinese dynasty with a new unique dynastic name, and make your old country a very loyal Vassal/Tributary to reflect your royal family prioritizing their more prestigious title. You could also get some kind of special bonus depending on which country, so a Southeast Asian would get bonuses to developing Jungles while Korea would get bonuses to Stability and Advisors and Japan would get Manpower or something like that.

[@IronTiger22]

That sounds cool, I just wonder how hard it’s be to implement, since I’m planning to work on a mod* I might try to add it *if I get around to it

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

@@IronTiger22 Considering the new mechanics related to England and the Angevins in 1.35 I imagine it would be doable.

[@ellidominusser1138]

this could work for hordes too. Like the mongolian Yuan Dynasty in china barely 2 centuries before start date.

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

@@ellidominusser1138 Well the reason I said everyone other than a Horde is because Hordes already have Yuan and Qing that they can form. Technically, even if you conquer China as Crimea or AQ, you'd be a Mongol successor to some degree and therefore reestablishing the "Yuan Dynasty" makes sense.

[@lucashampton6269]

I decided to give Korea a try after watching this. My starting king lived into his 80s, and literally a week before he passed, I got that event where you can kick your heir out for another one. The replacement one was 6/5/5. Then he had a talented and ambitious daughter who lived into her 70s. Over the course of those monarchs, the development was INSANE. I would say that tall Korea can snowball and become stupid powerful. But, it wasn't so much a snowball as a spontaneous combustion of raw power.

[@RollingCalf]

That event can happen anytime after age 40..I get it whenever I disinherit an heir whenever I'm old

Dang bro the focus system looks pretty nutty, especially stacking Expansion focus with Quality/Quantity ideas

[@brxnni]

i wish more countries had focuses like this, not necessarily inward/outward but maybe economic/military

[@efulmer8675]

That is sort of the idea with Reformed's religious focus system but it's very flat and doesn't give very good bonuses, which is why it's suggested to stay Catholic if you start Catholic or go with Protestant. The only bonus Reformed gives that Protestant doesn't is morale of navies and even then, Reformed only gives +5%.

[@afridge8608]

One tiny little min/max thing I would have done is setting my attitude to hostile with every neighbour, land and sea, after embracing the renaissance to keep your advantage over them for just a little bit longer.

I am not sure about protecting from pirates atm but if it is a sea trade node instead of coast (on or close to land) trade ships are needed versus galleys can be used on coast nodes. Noticed this in a mod funny enough but wasn't sure if it was in the base game.

[@Caesar--]

Something funny about the expansion focus is that since it modifies BASE cost of developing, all of your dev modifiers actually reduce it by more as well due to being %s of base cost. So a 10% reduction is now 5.5 not 5, and so on. This means expansion really isnt that painful for deving at all lol.

[@Quarbit]

[@Times_Ticking]

Paradox has always had a thing about Ming. They lasted to 1644. But heck, a well-timed Trade War is enough to cause them to collapse. A bit ridiculous that a nation is coded to explode in almost every game. There aren't any European nations coded to simply explode when sneezed on. Imagine that. Maybe the Ottomans (now). They are Euros, right? :)

[@yichizhng]

@@tropicalfruit4571 Yeah I saw Laith's video, looked like a lot of work. I guess it's free real estate for Jianzhou/Japan/Korea/Dai Viet/Oirat now unless they tone it down.

[@chriswhinery925]

Yeah I've started a few games in Asia now and Ming explodes very quickly every time so far. Whatever is going on with the mandate the AI cannot deal with it at all, I'm in the 1460's right now and they're already starting to implode.
