What about sphering Japan? AI loves that but won´t japanese artisans screw my economy a bit? It´s so easy to have high prestige as US that you usually can always buy what you want anyway.

I use PDM, where you can sphere Japan by decision, and I've never had that cause economic problem. But PDM does revise the economy significantly, and Japan is split up into substates, so that may not be a good indicator of what it's like in vanilla.
(Also, my earlier post about the US Civil War applies to PDM! I thought this was in the PDM quick questions thread.

What determines the order of who gets asked first to support a potential crisis? I'm the number one great power but I haven't been invited to back a side yet, I only get involved once somebody else picks up the cause.
I don't know that there's a set formula, but it probably depends on some combination of:
1. Overall score of the GP.
2. Proximity of the GP to the crisis area.
3. Friendship with the crisis country (if applicable).
4. You can't be involved in a war at the time of the crisis.
In my game, crisis started when I was at war, so I couldn't initially participate. Now that the war has ended, I can join the crisis. Will I get a prestige penalty if I don't join now?
No, you won't, as far as I'm aware. But you miss out on the potential benefits of being on the winning side, of course.
Thanks for reply, if I want to participate, is it wise to wait for Crisis powers to make their offers to me?
Usually not, unless you want to fight a war, or you're the last undecided GP.
Hi everyone. Have just bought HOD and started playing as Japan. I quickly noticed the naval supply issue. Can someone briefly explain how it works? I builded 5 extra clipper transport and noticed skull icon next to fleet. Where to see the supply limit of my nation? Sorry for noobish question and thanks for any feedback.
For every naval base on same continent or with land connection with capital (not sure) you get naval supply points. Each ship uses different amount of them, clipper 1, steamer 2, Man'o'war 2, commerce raider 3, battleship 30 etc. This limits fleets' sizes.
OK, that's what I thought. But now- where can I see the limit of naval points for my navy? Maybe I'm blind but can't find it.
I thought that this is the ship support limit, not the limit of ships that can be build. I'm even more confused now as I didn't exceed the limit and still had loses. As shown on the picture below. Correct me if I'm wrong but does it mean that if I don't have enough clipper convoy goods in national stockpile then my ship will suffer loses?
Finally got the Civil War, however made the mistake of being eager and outlawing slavery - didn´t know the Emancipation decision automatically did that... And ended up with the Slavery Debate flag still on. Will have to edit save game, darn...
The anchor is the ship supply limit. So a ironclad will eat 16 of these points, not just one.I thought that this is the ship support limit, not the limit of ships that can be build.

You're losses have a different reason, though:
3.02 added general naval attrition, if you refuse to supply your ships with at least 30% of their needs - I guess you try to buy enough clippers, but they're not availbale, and therefor you suffer attrition.
That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks a lot. Will be back with more questions propably
Why is the US has cores on Alaska? I am playing a Russia game at the moment, and I refuse to sell Alaska. Now the USA wouldn't want to ally with me because I have her cores. It think it is too biased against Russia.
The most outrageous thing just happened to me.
So I was Russia, had some unspent DP point, sent an alliance invitation to Austria-Hungary.
Before I knew it, AH initiated a Great War (AH + Netherland vs ENG, GER, SPA) for Moravia.
Thinking that I will probably assume leadership, I accepted AH's invitation to war. Alas, I wasn't chosen as war leader. Nevermind.
KUK and NET quickly got overran by GER and ENG, while I managed to kill off Royal Navy and NET's navy, and leisurely occupying Eastern GER.
Eventually KUK was left with 10 brigades, while I did all the heavy lifting. I watched in terror as KUK and NET kept adding one war goal after another into the list. So much so that I eventually had to occupy the UK to peace out.
Since I wasn't the war leader, I didn't add any war goal of my own. But what make me so indignant was that, I find that I don't even receive war indemnity after the war ended.
Which lead to my questions:
1) This random war leadership thing is seriously faulty. Can anyone help me understand how it is determined again?
2) How is it even possible that the GW capitulation war goal is not enforced but only KUK's own war goal?
