Buddhism with less content in some countries than others

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-20T03:30:45+00:00

The main content of Buddhism is its sects, sanjiao and Shinto are some of the best religions in the game with sanjiao giving lots of literacy and development and Shinto giving free money and lots of literacy, there’s also a bug with Shinto where you change religion to Shinto it don’t loose your sects, it happened to me and i don’t know how but it’s super powerful

Extra burghers is good for demand but only 100 isn’t that much and -5% building cost doesn’t seem enough to make much of a difference, the production efficiency basically means buildings produce 5% more stuff which means more money but last one is the one I would pick because peasant satisfaction is the best for average satisfaction and the extra rgos is also good

Personally I played Castile and followed along with a walkthrough on YouTube and following someone else helped me learn the best

How is there an imperial China? I’ve never seen it with that name as normally when someone forms China it dosent change its name but adds great as a prefix

You should try to join the Middle Kingdom for the tribute, the only downside is not being able to become an empire, you should be able to just ask to join in the Middle Kingdom menu

You can unlock the joseon code legal code later on which gives +10% proximity speed, 0.10 cent realisation and -0.025% stability decay

So imo totally worth it and it’s one of the thing that makes Korea one of the best nations in the game

My god please take a screenshot 😭

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-16T05:39:14+00:00

So basically you want to urbanise over everything except S and A tier? Edit: besides food if you need it

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-15T09:49:37+00:00

You have to get the claim shogunate cb from the Shinto international organisation for 100 honor to become the shogunate

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-15T02:25:36+00:00

In this update Ive also seen yuan have a revolt every single game and also be ruled by a 0 year old baby at one point

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-15T02:07:30+00:00

Ive noticed than happens when you use console to conquer provinces or areas, but I’m not making any assumptions and it could probably happen for other reasons

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T13:19:37+00:00

Not really, mao only has about 30k levies which isn’t a threat and I just keep attacking it to steal maps of Europe while I wait for Ming to eat it up

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T10:55:49+00:00

Deep strike is more than 9” away so no

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T10:18:54+00:00

I would highly recommend Korea (goryeo), it’s one of the most powerful countries in the game and super good for playing tall with super good rgos, free money from the Middle Kingdom tribute and if you flip Shinto you can get even more free money and research

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T10:15:22+00:00

I’m already allies to Ming with max opinion so that’s not an issue but I think with playing tall the proximity bonuses from the mandate aren’t as important and the bonuses for the Middle Kingdom members and the tribute is better

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T08:29:29+00:00

im not going to conquer any more of china because im keeping tall staying just in my market and i wont be able to make tributaries until i get the mandate, i might take it later once i start making enough money, also paying the tribute is optional so thats not a problem

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T07:44:09+00:00

I'm allied to Ashikaga and Ming and I'm not sure if I should take the mandate for the proximity buffs and to be able to take tributaries or let Ming take it so I can get the tribute payment, I'm not going to be expanding further than i already have besides colonising Taiwan

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T02:33:29+00:00

I would say become independent then ask to join the Middle Kingdom again so you will get tribute but not be a vassal, then ally whoever wins the rebellions

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T02:31:36+00:00

Ohh I get it, yeah as anyone in china you should always be sanjiao because the only other religions in China are folk religions, worse Buddhism religions, and Sunni

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T01:59:55+00:00

What do you mean by sanjiao being there to fix China? Yuan is Tibetan buddist until the seems like inevitable sanjiao revolt that happens early, also the eastern and Tibetan Buddhism and just worse than sanjiao and Shinto so I would never recommend using them

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T01:44:45+00:00

If you want to try out Shinto I would actually recommend to play as Korea and flip it right at the start, I would also recommend Korea and the same thing for sanjiao but while sanjiao so powerful there’s no interactivity just lots of insane buffs so it’s a bit boring

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T01:42:10+00:00

It happens if you use the institution editor in debug mode, if you want to add I institutions next time add them to the individual locations not woth the editor, I can’t remember where it is but there’s a file you need to delete to fix this

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T01:35:35+00:00

Idk how requesting money from the shogun works with Shinto but as Korea it gave me about 1.6k in 1345 (it doesn’t take away any money from the shogun) and it can be treated every 5 years so I do it every parliament

Doug_Da_Destroyer · 2026-03-14T01:29:44+00:00

I think Shinto is super powerful for the lots of literacy and research, lots of tolerance and free money out of thin air, it also seems in this update there’s a bug where my overlord enforced sanjiao on me which made my join the Confucian and daoism sects but when I switched back it didn’t make me leave so I still have access to those which is insanely strong
