A bit of history in China: In the few years after the Qing Dynasty falls, Republic of China adopted universal suffrage, but apprarently didn't work well. The industry base was still very weak, plus an unstable central government and a divided country. The election didn't manage to sustain for long. Local warlords only built their own railway systems, which is basically what you see in the game.

[@maxchioa7822]

"didn't work well" aka the elected temporary president forced a rigged election, then proceeded to crown himself emperor.

[@hongyuzhu235]

@@maxchioa7822 right. and at that time most Chinese people had no idea about election, the hereditary monarchy has lasted thousand years after all. This is a background reason why our first president thought being an emperor might be a good idea.

15:27 You shouldn't garrison the coast line, but you _can_ garrison *only* the ports! That way, the Japanese _do_ land, but they cannot get supply, and become pretty easy to take out. (you *do* need to keep an eye on it, and have enough defenses to not-lose any of the ports tho)

[@buddermonger2000]

Since no step back they tend to land land with a half army and they land next to the port as well (also somehow seem to not suffer from fucking supply mechanics) so if you guard only the ports you lose

[@ertrick3693]

An issue with using garrison orders in any capacity is if there are any enemy units in the states you give defense orders for, a good chunk of the units on the order will move away from their ports to fight those enemies. Meaning every time a naval invasion happens, divisions will get pulled off the ports that aren't getting attacked to fight off the enemy invasions, which could leave openings. The defense AI does do a *decent* job of pushing invasions back to the sea, but it's always better to micro and not rely on garrison orders. It's best to let them pull off multiple naval invasions and hold some land (not too much, though, you don't want to give them a solid foothold) because they'll stretch themselves incredibly thin that way and their armies will be even easier to crush than if you didn't let them take ports.

[@stonedtowel]

This is how I managed to get the Allies down 3mil. I love getting rid of their best troops and equipment before doing any naval invading myself. Personally I just set specific orders with C instead of V cheesing the coast line as my A.I tends to show more A then I when I have defend orders on.

Do NOT garrison the coastline, only the harbours with 2 divisions each. Let them land, contain them and roflstomp them when they run out of supplies.

[@chengzhou8711]

That’s a really good strategy

[@andreikovacs3476]

I advise the opposite: Garrison the coastline and micro so that only the ports hold, that they take the empty land. It's better than not garrisoning because if you are focusing on the north, they won't interrupt you as easily and have you to divert forces needlessly. Also they don't do damage to your buildings and disrupt your industry.

[@crowbarviking3890]

Also, you can cheese the supply system as china even more. There are a lot of rivers and they count as railroads. strategically placing supply hubs at riverbanks can save you a lot of railway building. AND rivers can not be logistic-bombed themselves. Though granted, unless you do some bad moves this will not be necessary. Still, using rivers as railways is an overlooked feature.

If you play in china again I believe I have found a way to exploit the AI. The Japanese AI seems to be hard coded to do two things: launch a massive naval invasion at the beginning of the war, and redirect troops to that naval invasion if it seems to be going well. However, Japan doesn't have that many divisions early game. That means that if you give up northern china at the Marco polo bridge incident, Japan will not have enough troops to both man the boarder and launch a naval invasion, but they do it anyway. At this point you can have more than enough army's to cover the front and I have been able to push Japan out insanely fast bc there is like one troop per tile. Sometimes they even pull troops out of the north to reinforce a naval invasion which makes it even easier. Just give them the land. They don't have the divisions to defend it. I've done this twice as normal china and it works really well but idk if it works as other China's

"Three Mas in the Northwest") is pronounced "see-bay san ma". The "Beard Man" at 1:56 is Zhang Lan (张澜), a member of the Chinese Democratic League. Chiang Kai-Shek (蒋介石, Jiang Jieshi in Mandarin) is mostly correct. "Chiang" is either Cantonese or Taiwanese Standard, I forgot. For Mandarin, it's "[jee keep it short]ang jee[eh] sh[ir, more emphasis on i]". Gaah, Chinese pronunciation is so hard to explain! At roughly 10:50, Yunnan (云南, lit: "south of the clouds"), is mostly correct. At 13:18 - Sinkiang (新疆, lit: "new boundary", aka "East Turkestan" or "Uyghurstan") is pronounced "seen jiang" in Mandarin. Let the world know I tried.

Yes not garrisoning your coastline can be beneficial to destroy Japanese units. However you get the same effect by allowing them to solely land on provinces without a port and guarding your ports. The AI doesn’t just naval invade ports, it invaded around them as well. In my play through I garrisoned each port and had two reserve armies to crush the Japanese when they landed around the port. Allowing them to take a port is simply asking them to bring more troops in. By the time I invaded Japan they had less than 18 divisions. So to anyone who thinks letting them take a port is ok, it’s not. You risk more by doing that, you risk a hell of a lot less by letting them land on other provinces. You gain the same advantage both ways.
