I'm playing Victoria II as Japan, I'm currently modernizing every teach at the moment, how should I proceed with invading China? Is there a way to shatter their empire so I can annex Korea?

Modernize army, attack vital locations, block ports, beware of doomstacks... burn the summer palace?
Well I just let things played out and the Boxer rebellion happened, shattering the empire and allowing me to start taking things.
Also when 1900 rolled around I started spamming dreadnaughts. My score for capital ships is 3800, while the UK only 40.
I once built 20 dreadnoughts as Japan thinking my navy was oversized.
I declared war on china, next thing I know, 200 cruisers came to rape Japan.
I'm really only using these to artificially increase my military score so the UK will leave me alone as I try and swoop in to other countries to increase my economy.
France is p weak until late game.
There's constant fighting among the kingdoms, and it has autonomous vassals, so they always have shitty commanders.

I always play as Aquitaine and try to take over the Kingdom. Usually kinda easy to do if you get an Alliance with England, or one of the stronger nations. Sicily or the Byzantines before mid game are good allies.

The Byzantines are funny with the AI, seeing how they either do extremely well, or get demolished.
Nothing in between.

Doesn't that usually come down to whether or not they hold off against the Seljuk invasions or not in the start?

It depends.
Sometimes they can lose the eastern territories and still come back really well. I find that it comes down more to if the Islamic kingdoms lose the first crusade, since it shatters their empires.

And if Georgia constantly wages war and isn't taken out, it distracts them a bunch.

That would have to be quite the achievement considering how they're sandwiched between ERE, three flavors of Mongols, at least two Muslim empires and at least one Russian princedom.
So I'm making a mod for EU3, called Amplio Mundi.
It adds more nations, events, decisions and while I'm not done yet, I would like to know if some people are interested?

It's mostly more nations now, and I've added localisation for some words, like Emperor becomes Empereur. I also have added 'Military Order' as a new government type, and is called 'Knightly Order' for Christians, 'Jihadists' for Muslims. And some other things, like the 'Form Greece' decision, and I've renamed Scandinavia to Kalmar Union. I can revert that for releases, if needed.

There's Vinland. And if you're in the Scandinavian culture group when you discover it, you get cores on Vinland's starting position, and inherit it. Although I have to program that in, Vinland's already in.

Make Lithuania independent from Poland at the beggining. Rename the Poland into Lithuanian - Poland commonwealth.
Jesus, this game is so inaccurate in eastern region.

Wait, if Lithuania is independant, why would it be renamed into the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth?

The union of Lublin since 1569
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Lublin[/url]
And it made Polish - Lithuanian commonwealth
Before then Grand Duchy of Lithuania was independent
Could you add in the Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden? ([URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands[/URL])
I always found that just having "the Netherlands" is a bit lacking. Perhaps rename "The Netherlands" as "The Seven Provinces" to make the distinction clearer between the two.
If there'd be some way to change the name depending on how much territory the country holds, that'd be awesome as well. "The X united provinces" instead of just "The Netherlands", capping at 17 or so.

Ohh, you mean rename the country of Poland to "Poland-Lithuanian commonwealth" once Poland absorbs Lithuania.

Yes
Also not absorbed, unified.

Yeah yeah, I was confused because your wording in that other post made it seem like having Poland-Lithuania next to Lithuania.

Sounds a lot like something that'd happen in a Paradox game.
I love it when the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate go to war with each other and basically destroy their doomstacks
So. The Ilkhanates sacked Mecca, then converted to Islam three days later.
Fucking laughing man.

Ilkhanate leader probably witnessed something he thought was the act of Allah taking revenge quickly converted.
...
Why am I trying to make logical sense of a Paradox game?

Whenever I play Hearts of Iron 3 I spend like 30 minutes reorganizing HQ's and their positions just so they look nicer. :v:
Tried Sicily in CK2+. Crusades fail, Fatimids retaliate and invade me, no one helps.
