    If they want to go more realism heavy I think they should do something about the Indonesian man power, unlike for instance India the Indonesians didn't really fight as much in the Dutch armies, and do something about the naval invasions, ideally that you need superiority for a period not just a tick, with the possibility to react.

      Yeah, the colony is barely industrialized and the populace is generally either apathetic (in case of the rural villagers because lack of care from above) or distrustful (in case of the educated urbanists because of the crackdown after the failed 1926 Rebellion) towards the administration.
      In turn, the heavy penalty to Recruitable Population Factor would entice the player to think more about their political decisions and its consequences, especially if it's manpower-related.

    First of all: i love your work. Much like yourself i am someone who has attempted to grow a channel on the side, all while working, having family, etc. and I can only imagine the time commitment required to run a channel and provide content of this quality. I honestly can admit i never would have understood the game like i do now if it weren't for your videos amd tutorials when i picked the game up 2 months ago so mad props to you my friend.
    But i have a project Im considering starting but im not proficient enough with the game itself to make a quality video.
    Im wanting to recreate as accurately as humanly possible USA 's involvement in WW2. Im talking about accurate ship names, generals/admirals, advisors, and army and fleet compositions. Essentially follow the real world timeline and make a video from the perspective of pure history.
    I know that would be quite an undertaking but ive already done all the research necessary for it. I just need help from somebody with a far greater understanding of the mechanics of the game.
    If you know any content creators who might be interested in something of that nature, or have any suggestions or can point me in the right direction it would truly be helpful!

Third time the charm, the naval invasion did not even launch and it is 40, more than half the convoy ship is gone to maintain troops on HOL supplied.
