Japan is weird.

[highsis]

1. Japan annexes Hokkaidō(northern Island) way too fast. Historically it didn't happen until 19th century when Bafuku force were evicted from Japan mainland. Ainu is an instant snack for Japan.

I didn't like Portugese or Spanish Japan not one bit, but this too is a bit..... strange.



2. Japan unifies way too quickly. It doesn't even seem to be Shogun or Daimyo who does it. The emperor diplo-annexes daimyos, and he finished unification in my game at 1500; took them 50 years to unify Japan.



3. Ainu is not revealed to Asian nations. What gives?





p.s. AOW is the greatest DLC/expansion ever released by Paradox. Even better than Heart of Darkness of Vic 2.

Japan unifies very quickly, because AoW broke Japan (it was also broken between CoP and WoN), as shogun can use subject's casus belli against every daimyo, but it isn't the main problem, main problem is that now when they declare war it is 1-3 daimyos v.s shogun and other daimyos, after they annex their first target, they can't be stopped (at least AI can't).

I think the shogun-daimyo need a rework, but for now it appears to be bugged so can't be sure whether the effect (such as unification around 1500s, way too fast) is WAD or not...

Well to be honest given that they have piss poor tech, they have to have a chance somehow in growing in pace. So I suspect thats why it can be done quickly.

Haven't played over there should I try? Any pointers?

Probably something to do with the idea of having a single Chinese group, featuring a single map of known provinces, all the way from Siberia to Indonesia, and from Tibet to Japan.
