Vicky2 1.2 with mod VRRP 1.11
China - normal
Purpose: To test if there are still late-game lags if Britain doesn't blow up by grabbing half of China.
Solution: Play as China and fend off any invaders.
Result: Game lagged like sh*t since 1915 -> fail.
China is way more difficult to play than I was prepared for. I had to start over 5 times before I got it right. My key to success: Become civilized ASAP by cautiously expanding for prestige and territory. Research relevant tech and from then on it's a cake walk.
The moment I got civilized, China became a GP ranked 7. From there it was a steep way to the top (finished 3rd). However, no other nation posed a threat ever again. On the contrary, after snatching my neighbours up and SoI'ing others, more and more GPs asked for an alliance.
Even though I reduced military spending to 6%, my soldier POPs still increased in size to over 20 mio.
