Nationalist Chinese power struggle

[CompositeGNR]

Was just wondering how do i win the Chinese power struggle as nationalist China?

I'd really like to know the answer to this, too. If it's just a matter of delaying the inevitable, I'm pretty miffed.

Kill them. Thats really the only way.

Either do the inner stability focus and get CB on the warlords (or they get turned into vassals) or wait for them to claim leadership and then destroy them in the war (You do have some maluses, but the Warlords are pathetically weak most of the time)

Tried it two times without succeed. I had the feeling, that the support decisions from the warlords are faster and you can't get back the support in a long run even against a lonely warlord. Best way to deal with them is to subjugate them per focus (after they have choosed their direction, so they can't randomly break free if they take opposition) and annex the other ones, which don't want do be a puppet. Problem solved.

You don't need to. Just go down focus interior and conquer/subject all the warlords and Mao. That will help you more in the long run.

If you want to do it just coz u like it. Basically it is like an election where you gain support in regions by completing decisions and once you have more support than the current ruler, you become China.

Communist China joined the Comintern in my current game (the AI is really alliance-join-happy these days) so conquering communist China isn't a real option as of yet; not until the Soviet Union and Germany go to war. Also, aren't we supposed to be in a joint government?

In my first attempt, I did this and the United Front still formed. But when during my second attempt, it didn't form and only Shaaxi and I were left to defend against Japan. So is there a way to form the United Front while focusing on the interior?

Also I noticed my stability decreasing every so often during the power struggle. What's causing the stability decrease - the warlords gaining support?

I feel like integrating the warlords and the "Foreign Threats" path shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

I personally rush straight for that focus and you really should win those wars quickly and smoothly. If you did focus interior but didn't declare war on them, you might be forced to join United front with communist China through Xian Incident (IRC, it is in the warlord focus tree the path that supports communist china)

Your stability might fall since the focus you choose reduce the support for Kuoming Tang.

So you make a beeline to Integrate the warlords at game start? Because I like to start with the 3rd research slot.

Which focus reduces support for the KMT?
