Didn't have time to do a geology post earlier so here it is! Japan was a part of mainland Asia to the northeast of Korea until about 15 million years ago. There's a subduction zone under Japan-a place where an oceanic tectonic plate subducts (moves under) another plate (which can be either continental or oceanic). Subduction zones have the largest earthquakes Earth experiences (M9+) and also explosive volcanoes, both of which are evident in Japan. For complicated reasons that I won't go into, the subduction zone caused Japan to start pulling apart from the rest of Asia, causing the Sea of Japan to form to its west. Because of said subduction zone, Japan has many volcanoes, including famous ones such as Fuji, Unzen and Sakurajima. Unzen was the volcano that caused the deaths of famous French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft. Sakurajima is one of Japan's most active volcanoes, and it was its own island until an eruption in iirc 1912 created a lava flow that connected it to the mainland. Sakurajima also sits on the edge of a major caldera called Aira. There's a bunch of other cool geology stuff about Japan but I'm tired and can't be bothered going into it right now. If you have any geology questions (particularly on volcanoes or earthquakes) feel free to ask me :)
I'm gonna sound like a scripted comment but Imma be honest: wasn't really sold on another Japan playthrough with Domination until this. Full isolationist tall Japan seems like it'd be really fun. Great video
I love that they moved dev cost to lv4 isolationism. I no longer need to keep a cheat sheet to know which options to click and can just spam isolationist options.
I still think I like Oda's ideas better. At the end of the day, I'm a conquering boi and Oda's military ideas are just too juicy. God like generals leading space marine troops. Not getting -10% dev cost does hurt when Japan has missions that want you to dev up a lot but we can stack those modifiers elsewhere. Tokugawa's ideas are still a step below I think, especially with them having several that are underwhelming, like the spy construction bonus one.
The fact you cannot complete old daimyo/Japanese missions now is completely broken and a clear oversight by PDX. Something as simple as removing the requirement to Japan from the missions would already allow such.
Really liked the video. I think Japan benefits a lot from getting plenty of idea sets to choose between depending on your playstyle (I'm an Oda fan). Also, nice model! It has a great vibe for PDX games.
Man I still have a lot to learn to get better at this game. I started a Japan run today, I was able to unite Japan in roughly the same amount of time as you but I had to WRECK my country to do it. By the time I hit the unite button I had 120% OE, negative stability, maxed out loans, and like 25 corruption from debasing currency. I had 0 manpower and my army was depleted, I had rebels popping up everywhere, I was making negative money (due to having to have mercenaries). The peasant's war became a foregone conclusion, it was going to happen no matter what I did and I was way behind on admin tech and a tech behind on mil tech. I did manage to pull out of the death spiral and my Japan is on it's way to recovering My army is replenished and manpower is starting to stockpile, I have no unrest for the moment, I'm making positive ducats and have gotten rid of all my loans. My stab is positive again and the peasant's war is over. But I still have 1000+ ADM worth of coring to do and then I have to catch up on my admin tech. It's probably going to be 1500 or even later before I'm truly on solid footing again.
thanks! I think colonial Japan has many drawbacks which make it a weaker pick (especially when you can develop colonialism) but I wouldn't be opposed to picking it as a 4th or 5th group to enter indonesia with
That's because IRL they got a nasty random event called Communism that caused all of their provinces to revert to 3 dev and gave them insane economy and monarch power debuffs so they can't ever build back up.
From what I've seen it looks like they've made most of the major nations much stronger. I've watched videos on France, Spain, Ottomans, Japan, Ming and they're all very strong now. I don't think Japan is too OP given how some of the other nations are now.
lol you almost beat my record of 1460 (nightmarish of course) but big respect, got early access to Dom as well and just started my Japan run. I'd recommend national focusing on admin since that is the most critical for Japan and if affordable get admin advisor.
@@sergiusko4327 depends on the run like any Eu4 run. I also try to find opportunities for minor daimyo to annex other minor to help reduce my job for me. Like letting someone else take Mino before I do since most just dismantle the fort. Samurai in the new update also make the job quicker now
An FYI after playing Tokugawa myself - the Edo Jidai mission counts "average autonomy above minimum", not autonomy. Which means that a territory with 90% autonomy counts as 0%. Feel free to eat Ming ASAP, just don't make states.
Nifty changes, I"ll have to remind myself to check out Japan after a game as England. I think the one thing that's been keeping me from playing a tall Japan is how most of their trade goods are garbage.
funnily did better in the current patch with never expanding until 1570, had more dev on the homeislands, like 900, went expansion quantity offensive eco for as much army force limit as possible to match the numbers of irl Japan but ming collapsed on its own soo kinda ruined the epic invasion of korea and i wasnt able to get close to irl ship count (those numbers were crazy bro). Also vtuber strat not working?
Going to do a Date run with this strategy. Obviously you're starved for admin early so an aristocratic opener makes sense. After that, however, would it be worth the tradeoff to first take innovative (over divine ideas) then infrastructure only as the third group? You get 'reduce expand administration cost' and that 10 percent dev cost reduction a bit later, but save mana long term on teching up/maxing Innovativeness for - 10 percent all power costs.
18:36 Man, this idea group will be a great boost to Prussia since you struggle with governments capacity because of the Prussian Government, if you stack development cost decrease you can create the RL Army whit an state.
Can you use this strategy while going for the Kirishitan Realm modifier? I never fully understood how the isolationism events work with the Catholic events.
i don't really like the vtuber thing but as always the content is still great, you gotta put more work into losing subs for the rome speedform if that's your plan lmao
yea game is not very obvious about it, but mercenaries have their own manpower pool which they use to replenish their troops. so early game is all about mercenaries. using them to siege forts etc...
How do you know what provinces to dev and how many points to dev into each thing? Idk if my question makes sense but choosing which provinces to dev and how much dev to manually put in each one confuses me
prioritize lower dev provinces, they're cheaper. for institutions, dev capital or good modifier provinces (cloth, farmlands) I'm aiming for 1/10/10 in each province to increase building efficiency (same cost for a workshop/barracks, but more output)
@@Quarbit Man, jokes aside holy shit thank you for replying to my stuff. Proper Japan experience, can't wait to get Domination to try the new Ottoman tree myself (Turkish bias), tho it'd be based if they included stuff like the Tulip Period around mid game for the Ottomans, it'd be fun to try balance the rule of the Sultan and the İttihat ve Terakki (Committee of Union and Progress) during late to mid game as the economy goes down the toilet or something, dunno maybe it's not in the DLC and im just Otto-nerding out. Regardless, thanks for replying man.
Thank you for doing this it was very entertaining. Seems like the new DLC will break the game until a balanced patch is available.

And at the rate you were upgrading everything, it looks like Japan won't need Admiral Perry to open Japan up to the modern world because Japan is going to be the most modern nation on the planet. While the exploits are fun, I'm a bit disappointed to see the EU series being turned into CIV 6 where everyone can 'into space' within the first 3 decades.
