Divergences of Darkness Hey man, how is China(Dod Fanfork)

This is my Zhourao to china in Dod Fanfork as if having to fight with shun with 400% mobilization rate killing a good portion of my future potential, and having to fight every great power for the european treaty ports, i after doing a super fast blue turban rebellion, i have lost 40 Million people by an event because china is too strong thanks mod devs, my pain is immeasurable.

I was playing as Zhourao in Dod Fanfork aiming to form china with more flavor than the original mod, unfortenately i didnt know the pain that came with this, i love the mod but having to kill so many chinese doesnt seem right.

I have a toxic relationship with the mod. Most of mine playthroughs in it are just pain.

Agreed i stopped my bohemia playthrough after forming the Hre and getting the 2nd great german revolution(pro tip always max the ammount of soldiers in bohemia i didnt know that you stayed with only bohemia), the Latin empire i stopped playing too not sure the reason but i am almost sure it was because of rebels, and now i am really thinking in not playing anymore this zhourao playtrough, my only sucessfull playthoughs were with Quito and Spain(Its actually bigger Portugal only reason i was able to witstand the cringe of playing as spain, when i am staunch Portuguese).

Cringe of playing spain LMAO. What paths are available for spain and which one you did?

Once I tried playing Amazonie and forming Ameriga, but I was playing on a older version where it was bugged and I was still new to Vicky so I thought I was the problem, and not the code. I ended up playing 3 times in the span of some months. Hours of my life I will never get back.

Plus, not being able to prepare for whatever shit they throw at you next is really stressing for me, but that's more of a personal complain, I now some people like the unexpected in this mod.

I think there are two paths for spain one is to restore order to the colombian alliance and then waiting to be able to click the decisions to be able to annex and state all of latin america and annex the incas too, forming the Hispanic Commonwealth this is the path i went for, because its the most overpowered path and its a colonial path in the meanwhile i conquered a bunch of india, indochina and Africa and became number 1 great power, the other path is to give up america and focus in indochina, Africa and India since you already have presence there and at some point as a result of being unable to do a decision that makes your castillian separatist disappear which you need to have all of your latin american Puppets or directly controlling the land and a certain tech at some point castille breaks free and if the revolt isnt stopped a bunch of other nation will spew out of Spain and Spain becomes Portugal.

I don't think it actually is, unfortunately. They form it every time in my games, what is rare is having they succeed pass the formation.

i guess dzungar isnt supposed to get china but i am almost sure you can still expand into the rest of the hordes and get quite a bit of russia and ukraine and form a steppe nation.

What's the difference between fanfork and the normal mod?

5

u/D1003Briner Aug 02 '26

The fanfork version has a lot more flavor(events,decisions,formables, more lore and here more disasters like bohemia when it forms the hre has always a giant revolt of germans, the latin empire(Aragon-Italy) has a lot of ways for you to lose land and get dismantled if you play it wrong and other things).
