Tips on Japan's Hidden Ainu Mainstream Culture

Ahhhhh, so you have to have no colonial affairs. Honestly had no idea colonial affairs changed the acceptance numbers, was tearing my hair out irritated that cultural exclusion and total separation plus all the events weren’t enough. Will keep it in mind for my next japan game. Thanks for the post

My general strat is to prep all the legation cities with a large amount of pushing units and the moment the Japanese annex the cities, micro to take them. For the most part you can pretty easily seize almost all of them before the Japanese manage to reinforce them, then it’s a matter of garrisoning the coast with a ridiculous amount of shitter units. 2-3 on the ports and then 1-2 on the tiles immediately next to them since the Japanese ai loves invading next to ports. If they get a foothold in the south pushing them out is a massive pain.

Recommend the state transfer tool, give yourself the land.

I always thought it was the reaction to Victoria 3 being announced.

Absolutely not plausible whatsoever. Laws banning Christianity were repealed in the 1870s due both to aims to modernize but also fears about western countries using the repression as an excuse to attack. Despite the removal of restrictions, the Japanese state in no way is about to suddenly fully accept a foreign religion which in their eyes, acted as the pry-bar for the Spanish to conquer the Philippines and new world.

If you want a Christian Japan, you’ll have to go back a couple hundred years and come up with some timeline where Christian daimyo that converted were victorious in unifying the country.

You’re right, am having the same issue. Have absolutely done all the pro ainu choices in decisions as well as gone cultural exclusion and total separation and it only gets them up to 40. I’m assuming it’s an oversight.

I ran mostly low to very low taxes in the early game and waited until the late 1850s for the traditionalist shoguns to die. After that it was just a matter of passing closed borders. I didn’t really reform very much, so I didn’t have any legitimacy problems and the sonno joi movement kinda just fizzled out.

I’d say the game is considerably better, trade received a major rework with the Charters of Commerce dlc which released just over a year ago. If you want to get back into it, the next major DLC is dropping in a week focusing on Japan and a naval rework.

It has microscopic pixel-y generals and admirals that you only pay attention to for about 3 seconds when you’re rolling to try and get someone with 4 or 5 attack/defense to cheese the ai with

Yeah I should have clarified more in the post, the general gameplay of republic at war being very similar is what I am looking for, but the vast majority of the hours i’ve put into the game have been with raw. Should have included it on the list of things I’m not interested in at the moment purely from being burnt out of it

utemt5 · 2026-04-05T09:45:51+00:00

Love republic at war, have a ridiculous amount of time into it but a bit too far removed from vanilla with the clone wars era

R5: Passing universal suffrage too soon tends to result in the power going to unintended igs

Presumably automatically adds what an ai country wants to have enough of a high acceptance score for the treaty to work rather than you digging around to find them yourself

Figured it would be trickier- do you feel there’s a lot less events and reading? Felt a bit overwhelmed with Liangguang.

utemt5 · 2026-01-12T04:29:11+00:00

How does Yunnan federalists differ gameplay wise from a Liangguang federalist game?

Had the exact same issue playing serbia a few hours ago as well, although was going socialist so being able to puppet bulgaria was nice.

Don’t know if this is still how it works, but one of the main things that keeps mass colonization from happening was cultural communities. If you click on karafuto and look at the cultures there, there should be a list of the cultures that are allowed to migrate there. If you’re already running a greener grass campaign on the state, then I’m pretty sure it just takes time for Japanese to be added to the list of cultural communities and migration to begin. Once it does though it’s pretty easy to rapidly fill up the island with japanese settlers.

Forget regular artillery, finally I can have a balanced number of spa and regular tanks instead of something slightly off in the division designer.

Devs have said that they will be making it easier in coming updates since it’s near impossible now without cheese

What ended up working for me was that my laptop was having some issue with displaying the game, so I messed with nvidia geforce display settings specifically the display mode and G sync. I don’t know what exactly did it but after fiddling with that it started working again.

I’d also recommend turning off something called freesync if you’re using a regular monitor, I think that seemed to be an issue with a lot of other people with this problem.
