If we don't have one of them, we get 0 research points for conquest.ДЄnd we don't. There are 4 army reforms (the first four) that boost the 'Research points bonus when conquering' by 25% each. More on that later) in one war, risking acquiring 22 infamy in the war justification process. Targets locked.ДЄs you can see, for the time being we can annex any sufficiently small uncivilized country (n.b.: Japan and Siam are not sufficiently small. Most other states around here China doesn't have to spend any effort to conquer. Japan requires boats, though, which makes targeting them less fun, and they will have a large uncivilized army, so I'd recommend against it your first time through as China. Looking at the list, you can see that (around our neck of the woods), and ignoring our substates, Japan, Panjab, and Korea are the top targets. The higher their population the more research points we get. This is going to be our roadmap to Westernization. If we took longer to Westernize, we'd see Great Powers setting up missions in our country that would aid in Westernization.Д«ut, in Heart of Darkness, uncivilized countries also get research points for conquering other countries. So just researching your way to Westernization is not a viable strategy. What China can do is bank research points and use them for extremely expensive 'reforms.'Дў) This reform costs almost 7000 research points.ДЈ) We make just over 1.5 research points per day. This means, inter alia, that China cannot research traditional technologies now. We're going to do our best to keep education at max, military spending at at least 50%, and administration as high as we can afford, with all taxes maxed out through our westernizing years.ДЄs noted, China is an uncivilized nation. There's not a lot we can play with here on the budget screen as China.

Otherwise, you end up with just one stray brigade on Taiwan and an army on the mainland mising a unit. By the time we're done, we will have turned literally every single good from AI automated into 'Buy 2000.' While a bit annoying, and not strictly speaking required, it does mean that you can queue up an army build and not spend 10 days starting each unit as the AI slowly buys required goods.ДЄnother note, based on the existence of Taiwan, is that I suggest always recruiting all the brigades out of Taibei and Tainan before trying to actually assemble your units, to both better defend Taiwan and to keep your main armies regular. We'll want to transition into regular infantry ASAP.ДЄccordingly, we're going to need lots of wool. So we'll be building a fair amount of irregulars unfortunately, as an uncivilized nation, we're locked into only irregulars and cavalry until we get some reforms (which will unlock infantry but not hussars are dragoons). Also note that our military rank is #1 in the world, surpassing even the UK. Note that we start with 52 brigades built and can built to 209. I'll be pulling these back into the main Chinese state as soon as possible.Д¬hina is also rather good at building its own armies.

This is a bad idea, as the substates are good (extremely good) at building their own armies and don't need our help. I've labeled them all here, Xinjiang (far west), Mongolia (north), Manchuria (northeast), Qinghai (center), Yunnan (southwest), and Guangxi (southeast).ДЄs a consequence, China starts off with troops stationed throughout its substates.

They will always fight in your wars, for better or for worse, and never have to be called in. Those are our various substates, which are essentially satellites plus. Note the different colors under the CHINESE EMPIRE display.

Hi guys, welcome to a walkthrough of how to Westernize as China in Victoria II, Hearts of Darkness.ДЎ) I'm going to do this about as fast as is possible Дў) I will never hit the infamy limit (or, with one exception, even risk hitting the infamy limit) andДЈ) I will skip over items Kersch thoroughly covered in his Brazil playthrough, which was most of them. My goal was actually to push Kersch from China (which I've done before) to play Persia (which I've failed at doing before), but the EU4 point is also pretty big.
