[@tigrosabertooth4757]

3:13 that's debatable. I've found that switching to iron frame buildings from the start gives a significant boost to your construction, paying not too much. AND makes a deficite of tools on the market, giving a private construction sector bigger chances for investing into tooling workshops instead of whaling stations/rice farms/etc, which is very nice for us.

@@ValkyrieSirenaif you don’t play with private construction then you waste a lot more money on construction

i think he is talking about when you change it at the start in the settings you do still get private investment but you can chose what to build which makes it more efficient also the private construction bug is still a thing which makes turning on private construction in settings even worse@@cadenibz

25:50 you actually DO have a bonus from adopting shinto! It changes ideology of your religious interest group, which is quite of impact. Change not necessarily good, but quite of impact.

[@martenkahr3365]

The other thing it does, which may or may not be what you want, is nuke the power of the Devout interest group. Only people of your primary religion will ever support the Devout IG, so all pops that previously supported the Devout but were still Mahayana after clicking the button will recalculate their IG support. The biggest impact is that Mahayana Clergymen shift to supporting Rural Folk (and to a lesser extent, Landowners), as well as Intelligentsia if they're working in Urban Centers, Govt Admin or Art Colleges. For this reason, it might be a decent idea to keep around the Clergy-only production methods around, because Clerks tend to have less political clout than Clergymen and will support Petite Bourgeoisie more than they will the Intelligentsia. Another reason I just now discovered is that Clergymen have better baseline Education Access than Clerks, so they will grow their pop's Literacy rate faster than Clerk pops.

Definitely recommend changing capital on turn 0 to Kanto. It means you can keep 20 inf in Kanto and you only get a temporary debuff for bureaucracy and authority which in the early game hurts much less than keeping 20inf.

switching to shinto changes the clergy bonus more authority then normal and another bonus, it also makes clergy pro monarchism

Changing to Shinto now DOES offer some benefits. It changes the effects of the Devout Interest Group when happy/mad to increase authority by 15-30% when powerful, instead of -50% radicals from stardard of living decreases from the buddhists.

I suggest splitting the army in two before the civil war so you can conquer the north and south simultaneously and reduce the war duration.

[@LudietHistoria]

[@MrCalls1]

3:52 Min-Max boost, I find cotton is almost never a good investment. Meat can be consumed infinitely, and can keep Livestock ranches profitable, until the fabric price reaches -75%. Whereas cotton plantations are of equal population efficiency iirc, they never create enough to really deflate the cost of inputs, and as a bonus livestock helps boost SoL for pops by giving more varies and cheaper food, especially a cheaper form of luxury food (although, I’d be willing to hear arguments about its impact on grocery manufacturing profitability) In short. Build livestock, not cotton.

[@unfairlive2]

also have to look at the opportunity cost of building the resource. Both a Ranch and a Plantation cost 200 construction. So they are equal there. For 200 construction a cotton plantation gives you 40 fabric, a Ranch will give you 15 (Sheep ranches) Of course, you can gie your Livestock ranches tools, which you want to do anyways, but then they do consume 5 tools +10 wheat to create 36 fabric. Now wheat used to be a total non factor before this patch, but it is actually somewhat relevent now that every single farm in the game has been nerfed, so there's less of a wheat flood going on. So overall I'd say that if your goal is to get fabric, cotton farms are not a bad idea, they only eat 4900 laour, which as Japan you have plenty off. And yeah their wages wont be fantastic, but too be fair, the lionshare of the wages for your ranch workers will also be very low. (The ranches do have some better profession pops but their total is like 900 out of 4900 so I'd not value them as a significant improvement over cotton fields) Also you don't necesserily want your people to consume meat, as you want to get them onto Groceries eventually, and your initial Groceries will probably be fed by fish canning not meat canning. And it's easier to get them from grain to groceries than from meat to groceries. It's admitedly rather niché and I don't think you'll be that much better or worse off eitehr way, but something to consider if you're transitioning into an eco.

Ludi i have a doubt about universities,building more of them will increase research speed?If so,is there a cap?

[@LudietHistoria]

yes, the cap is shown if you hover over your innovation, the main thing that influences the cap is your literacy, so more educated population = more innovation = faster research!

[@athosribeiro6705]

ludi, i hope you get well soon of your ligma sickness.

[@nasseq]

I'm not sure if activating labour saving PMs (harvesting tools) are optimal in early game. It increases demand in tools, when tools are already in short supply for the mines industries, and one of the early game goals for every nation is de-peasanting the population, and its better to have them as labourers than peasants who empower the aristocrats/landowners. Interesting usage of filtering troops by state to have only the capital troops for civil war xD

[@xXScythianUAXx]

devs should rework destruction of buildings and especially barracks so you couldn't do it while you have low legitimacy and it must have a negative effect on legitimacy...

Kind of crazy that the Emperor is Buddhist, considering that the Emperor in Japan is supposed to be the high priest of the Shinto religion... like he is literally considered a direct descendent of the gods worshipped under the Shinto religion.

Hah, looks like a big oversight on the Paradox side: you shouldn't be able to just cheese revolutions like this. It makes the whole reform way too easy.

[@Nasai1]

You don't need a port in Sakhalin btw

[@Nasai1]

Also when I play Japan I tend not to build any farms early... problem is they don't do anything for your unemployment because it takes away arable land, you're just taking away subsistence jobs and adding the same amount of jobs back as farming jobs. As your minimum expected standard of living increases you will have massive turmoil due to unemployment later on or you will need to spend a LOT on welfare subsidies. So it's better to just make the chemical plants because that's actually adding jobs. I also try to skip agrarianism and go right for interventionism, this can be made easier if you have a protectionist leader of the Shogunate or some other interest group before pissing them off too much. Generally speaking forming imperial Japan doesn't have much initial payoff, it's only when you are able to complete the restorations that it becomes worth it. Kicking out the Shogun as early as possible doesn't help you get those restorations done any time sooner. It can even be worthwhile to actually fight that first civil war properly instead of cheesing it if for no other reason than it keeps your unemployment low lol. Last I played was in 1.5 though so idk if Japan's excess population is still as difficult to handle as it was.

26:05 I agree. I wish there was some bonus or some aspect to having different religions. The oppression aspect doesn't seem that bad with different religions. I like playing the Catholic nations, being Catholic, yet there is no incentive nor bonus to converting places or avoiding uprisings. One would presume trying to convert a local deeply moslem culture to one with Catholic as the main religion would draw up more uprisings and challenge.
