Speaking of China, my one (...well... One of many) confusion with Vic2 is I have no idea how I'm supposed to interact with China like a proper imperialist. Conquering chunks of them is right out, as then you'd have a bunch of wrong culture, illiterate peasants mucking up your research. You cant sphere them, because then your economy explodes. So... What does one do?

Cantorsdust posted:Would have to be shockingly high. You could raise it high enough so that no one is within 75% of you, but they could still be a great power by having 3 times the average prestige. So unless you raise the average so high that no one else is 3 times above it (hard since there are probably over a hundred nations at game start given that China is rank 80), you'll still have some standouts. You could turn your closest rivals into vassals, possibly?

A Buttery Pastry posted:If you can't actually take part in a war, then you shouldn't get a say in the diplomatic play leading to war. I suppose you could unlock it by demanding access through another country, saying you will fight for your right to fight, but otherwise I'm not seeing why it should be a real possibility. Having a bunch of countries with little to no ability to participate in a war jumping in anyway is not something they should actively encourage. Well, if you're somehow a powerful, but landlocked nation, you can violate neutrality to get your troops to where they need to be.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I don't recall, have they mentioned anything about the mechanics encouraging conservatism among long-running industries? Like in this example, or how Britain kinda slept on its laurels and let other countries run away with new hi-tech industries, like German chemical engineering? I vaguely recall some sort of training bonus for pops? So pops that work at something for a long time may get small bonuses? But maybe that was one of the ideas we in the peanut gallery tossed out.

"Conquest should lead to new challenges to properly realize the fruits of war" is dramatically different than "The game should lie to you about your country, or at the very least provide unhelpful information to make you make bad decisions." By all accounts, Vic3 is at least planning on the first statement, but statement two doesn't fit the design goals of letting players make meaningful, interesting decisions.

I agree it's part of the script, but it seems possible that the script is 'give player (or ai) decision box to select general.' For instance, you could select your offensive genius to lead the charge and have an engineer following along to fortify things you take and generally take the defensive role for counterattacks.
