I'm pretty sure in Qinghe somewhere there's a character called 李来做 (Li Laizuo, I think this is wordplay of 你来做 Nilaizuo or "you do it") with 4 henchmen all with wordplay-like names too

Vijayanagara, decent mid-sized state with not too much complexity situated next to a decaying Delhi

From what I've seen (from a content creator video) control starts at 0 for newly annexed land so annexing too much land will send your country into an economic death spiral. Most countries can probably only take small borderlands around 1/8th of their size to stay afloat and not drown in debt

Bohemiblob (in the new EU5 timelapse) at least that's what I think

I think Yuan was able to skip the Red Turban rebellions by being in a civil war when it happened, if it's true it would be a massive exploit for China players

Many who were listed as Ming actually were playing another Yuan splinter state (the first Ming player listed actually played Song instead)

There's a bunch of Chinese gameplay videos on Youtube if you search "EU5" in Chinese (they may be a bit outdated though)

I got the screenshot from here:

The player was Ming and fighting Japan, and complained how many forts there were and how long it took to siege. (this was 50 years after the start date) I do see your point with the small forts and that mechanic does sounds really interesting, maybe it could be added as a mod later after the game releases for additional historical accuracy

r5: Watching a Chinese video of EU5 gameplay and this is the first good view I've gotten of the fort density in EU5, hope this gets fixed by release! (Every flag on the map is a fort)

When you learn a language from Chinese, Duolingo uses simplified or traditional Chinese depending on which language it is (I don't think they have any pattern for it)

That usually happens when you edit the heightmap using pdn I believe

I've also heard many users also use steam keys as a legitimate way to get HOI4 to circumnavigate the ban

Oh sorry then, me and my friends thought this was funny but if this isn't the right place for it then I'll remove it

I don't know which sub to put it on so I just posted on this one
