especially with the new update, it seems completely impossible. I’ve tried the macao strategy, but now portugal wants me to cede the entire fucking state of guangdong! yeah i banned opium but now i have to get that whole fucking state back! is there another way?
I tried and just got railed by england. Those debuffs are brutal, i don’t now if they are new in this patch. I think my infantry were 6/6 against englands 24/32. My solution was to not ban opium, which didn’t feel great. I’m not good at gaming the combat at all though. I mostly just fight things straight up.
