Pretty sure if you just capitulate the other Japan without rushing Tokyo you get to keep most of the fleet and all the islands, much easier than annexing Manchuria.

[@trevorburgoyne]

fun fact, if you actually wait to take tokyo until you’ve conquered almost the rest of japan in the civil war, then the moment you take tokyo the other side will capitulate before the event fires to transfer stuff over to manchuria. makes the civil war much less devastating

The Japanese foucs tree is among my favorites, lol. Really only the historical path - but not actually playing historical. I dont mind this tree though. The civil war sucks. But tbh, with the navy Japan starts with the game isnt challenging. So blowing half of it up and loosing the best admirals adds a nice challge.

when you take tokyo quickly it gives your puppet half your navy the islands and korea, if you do it slowly they dont get half your navy the islands or korea so its actually better to do ti slower
