IIRC you can't, there's an event to kill him.

I'll try to avoid this if possible.

Edit: Also why you shouldn't let me play Poland.




You can always mod it to make his survival feasible.
>Implying I can into modding

If I could I would have given East Frisia it's proper flag and proper national ideas based around being pirates and fighting 25 of the HRE princes at once... and winning. Including Austria. As one small county.

I think Japan would definitely be interesting as a choice.

Can EU4 be still modded through a notepad?

No idea. I'd have to ask the Paradox forums.

Three for Japan already. There's also an achievement for uniting Japan. Unless Sweden, Portugal, or England get their act together we'll be doing a SHAMEFRUL DISPRAY

I presume that, once Japan is united, you can go on from there to try to conquer everything else....

As you can see, Oda is not available at the start.

Meanwhile, I'll retry my EU2 Nippon campaign because I overwrote the save file by accident with China save file. I reached 1680 and owned Primorsk and Alaska already, and had whole Japan christianized. But now that I know what I should expect, I can do it even better on my second try.

Having looked at the things required for unification along with a test game I ran over the last 3 hours, I feel rather confident I could in time unify Japan - though it'd be far far easier to start as the Shogunate.

Nah, the Shogun seems way too simple, you gotta start as a Daimyo :P

Right. I'm going to have to strategize, as my test game showed what happens when you get roughly half of Japan, and it isn't pretty.

I'm just going to say that strategy is for pussies, as after a few false starts, I just managed to seriously fucking kick some ass.


The writeup will be sooner or later.

Judging by the majority vote, probably Japan. Can't say for sure of course, but it's probably Japan.
