It is a journal entry. They can just take certain Chinese states whenever they are at war with someone.

26:35 War Reps used to be a war goal that you could obtain by occupying any state the enemy nation owned. This lead to a borderline exploit of farming great powers for war reps by invading some random colony in the arse-crack of Africa, so PDX changed it so that you have to occupy an INCORPORATED State to count as occupying the wargoal for war reps. Unless Russia has a special journal entry for incorporating Primorye will take 20 years, so you'd have to occupy something else for the wargoal. You can check a state to see if it's incorporated in that state's overview.

[@idontlikerome2744]

Man i got to check the dev diaries every once and a while

[@ianmoore2351]

23:49 In the last patch, part of the Great Game mechanics involved changing the way that Russia's Manchuria events work, instead of getting claims on Outer Manchuria, there are separate choices they can make to a struggling China (or Manchuria in this case) simply give them the state. They have one of each of the two parts that Outer Manchuria was split into, but I've only ever seen AI Russia go for Primorye.

[@planespottermerijn]

Really weird though that that can happen with Manchuria being under someone else's control, without any notice to the player

[@masterofgreymog5751]

War Reparations was only assigned as a war goal because you took too long to choose one - you've got to pick a war goal during the opening phase, otherwise it adds war reps by default.

[@blockchiken]

25:50 @TobyYellsAtThings you just need to occupy any Incorporated State for War Reps and Humiliation, this was changed in an early 1.7 patch because its too easy to just land a tiny colony to humiliate britain or france

[@TobyYellsAtThings]

That makes sense, you know I really should just read the patch notes lol

[@mcmann7149]

As a fellow Japan enjoyer, I will say you probably got the best start as Japan with the Jingoist leader. I would say that it makes the first reforms that I typically do such as professional army or dedicated police force a lot easier. They remove power from the Shogunate and the distribution of power to the other various interest groups makes it faster to get the Shogunate out of power.

I didn't hear great things about the game when it came out but I suppose they fixed them because it looks super fun

[@TobyYellsAtThings]

In my full honest opinion, it only now feels like a full game after the 1.7 update. This is the state i wish it was in when it launched. I have a lot of hope for it going forward though.

[@antorseax9492]

​@@smurfskii7884 Some of the hate was (still is, to a small extent - LordLambert) because people didn't like that the game was just reskinned Victoria 2.

[@tomskanaal]

To get war reps, you need to occupy an incorporated state. Russia has many unincorporated states in the east, which is why you did not have 100% war goals occupied even though you did occupy a couple of Russian (unincorporated) states.

[@Ladiesman-iw9gc]

when is start off on land taxation i just wait until egalitarianism is unlocked so you can go straight to proportional since more igs support the change from land

[@chaoticflorius]

Me: Wants to edit Also me: Guess I learn how to play VIC3 Japan (great video btw XD)

[@yere7851]

27:00 the game sets war reps as the primary war goal if you don't select a war goal during the opening moves and for war reps you don't need to take capital you just need to occupy an incorporated state

[@fcpolitimisoara]

I have 340 hours in the game, finished almost all very hard achievements and yet this was still interesting and educational, good job! Btw, if you want to know what happened in Manchuria with that state, look up "The Ruler of the East" and "The Treaty of Aigun" in the Russian journal entries, the only way to realistically avoid losing it is to own it yourself basically.

[@silence5014]

that will just give them claim not annex it immeditly

Tried it myself and it didn't work at all. - The military shipyard and construction sectors finish far later than the video shows - Britain does not attack that soon, it only attacked during 1839-1840. - Before you can even get a naval base, Britain will have probably finished the war by now. - China moves its units to try and stop your naval attack while Britain is attacking.
