Wait, this was a joke thread?


On a serious note, does a unified Japan stand a chance against Ming?

If Ming is a player, then no.

Historically, Japan couldn't fight Ming, but Japan should be too far away to be fabricated claims on, and Ming should join war only if Japan wars Korea not when Korea wars Japan (If Korea is Ming's ally).

This seems to be working with the AI in a historical way. In all of my games in the region, Ming almost always ally defensively (i.e. gain that 'defensive' attitude towards their allies). Which means, they never seem to help their allies invade someone, but will agree to defend them in case they are attacked.

Also the case just a few minutes ago in my tall Dai Viet game.

Here's a picture of me and my Masamume Katana

I've practiced with it for 3 years, it can certainly cut through steel beams.

Only after you've applied jet fuel to the blade though, right?
To be honest, I found this whole post rather cringy, even though it's an joke, but to each his own, I guess.


On a serious note, does a unified Japan stand a chance against Ming?

Yeah, definitely. In my current game, it took about 100 years of colonizing the Philippines and the Moluccas, and doing other stuff on the side, but I eventually became strong enough to repeatedly crush Qing (who in turn had previously destroyed Ming). It's important to get Exploration and Quest for the New World very early, so that you can colonize a lot of the islands in South-East Asia, and get a large navy to protect yourself from invasions.

Troll thread is the only explanation after all Japan already has the highest discipline modifier in the game in their traditions of +10 percent discipline.
While that is true, The pope can also get +10 discipline, 5 from ambitions and 5 from an event that lasts til 1821

If the OP is a troll post then I wish there were more trolls like him. I had a really good laugh reading his post and the replies he's been making. It's all in good humour. A sense of humour is something that is sorely missing on so many game forums, especially strategy games.

I can neither agree nor disagree with your post, OP but if I could do so, I'd like to give it a big thumbs up or like. Thanks for the laugh.

Why is there random Hebrew/Yiddish?
Also, I never understood why Americans pick a new name when learning a language.
If someone could explain the reasoning, that would be great.

There isn't actually one, it's just a joke. There are people who are so absoluely enamored with Japanese culture that they basically attempt to convert themselves into a Japanese person (and vice versa I understand), and when people make posts like this they're making fun of those people. The Yiddish is just to further emphasize the fact that this is a joke and possibly the fact that the kinds of people that this makes fun of are usually incredibly misinformed/uneducated/stupid and make claims or assertations that are wildly untrue.

Ni hao, mi hermano (that's japanese for hello, my brother).

I believe der (the) changes you proposed are a bit mild, perhaps if they were all doubled they could properly extrapolate (japanese for exemplify) true superiority of Zeppen.

Guten giorno (good day).

But really, I'm just glad that for once, this patch hasn't broken japan right out the gate.

Well this is a troll thread but if I say something as Asian..

Isn't Japan have twice more dev and provinces than Korea now? At 16c, Japan had twice more grain produce and troops than Korea, it seems that Japan isn't underpowered now. With their militaristic national idea and religion, Japan is very powerful nation now. Also, it is the only Asian nation which can convert to Christian.

The only two things needed for Japan is Tsushima province and realistic shogun system especially no-family-change of Tenno.
