Unify China

[EmperorBatman999]

Hello everyone,

I would like to propose an idea to allow for the unification of China. I'm assuming that it is going to be divided like last time between the Warlords with a Communist region held by Mao's bunch and then the holdings of the actual Chinese Kuomintang government.

Anyway, as far as I am aware, none of the Warlords can claim the mantle of Nationalist China after they conquer the rest of China, which means that you need to go on with your clique name even after you eliminated everyone else and should be the ruler of China. Communist China gets cores on all of China, but that situation is somewhat different.

So this is why I am proposing in Hearts of Iron IV to have a tag-switch feature (like what people have been suggesting for Austria-Hungary) that would allow one of the warlords (ComChi excluded) to get a "Unite China" decision when there are no other Chinese states left. This would either happen if all the other Chinese were conquered and the leader would take on the banner of China as the last ruler left, or if he united the country by taking all of China, including defeating the Kuomintang government. The name and flag would change to that of China or Nationalist China.

It would also mean that the victorious warlord should get cores on all territories that belonged to Nationalist China. If tag switching is not possible, then perhaps the game should at least grant cores for all Chinese territory to the victorious country.

Good ideas here. +1 for you, friend

I'd also be interested in restoring the Chinese Dynastic system... It's never too late

There is no tag switch feature like that. People hoped there would be a way to create Austria-Hungary, but the devs confirmed you can't.

And China normally unites anyway, under the KMT, as part of the United Front. Watch Daniel attack China as Japan in the WWW about six weeks ago.

I'm pretty sure China unites with the second united front event, except for PRC, Sinkiang, and Tibet.

I plan on uniting China under the imperial Japanese flag.

This is also assuming that the player decides to play as somebody like Xibei, Gungxi, or Yunnan and manages to unify the country, so I'm guessing that the player may have an option not to join the United Front.

If tag switching is not possible, then I'm assuming changing the name and flag isn't either (although can't flags change based on faction?). If those are the case, then just being able to get cores on all of China would have to suffice then.
