    The more you demand the more likely they are to give up since they're going to lose a lot once they capitulate. But if you demand full anexation they'll be really unlikely to give up since they'll no longer exist if they back down.
    Edit: This game is actually less complicated than Victoria 2 given that actually getting resources was pretty much magic.
    Edit 2: you'll be able to add wargoals next patch during the diplomatic play stage, it's called a reverse sway(you ask for a demand for you to join) which will make foreign excursions much more enjoyable and worth it.

      nothing magic about getting resources in vic 2 tho
      you have resource it gets sold to the nation its in
      then sphere
      then global market first to first gp then second and down the line to the last nation
      thats about as bare bones as you can make a trade system

      This is why pre-ordering games needs to be discouraged. Not only do you not know what you're paying for, games developers now genuinely have the line of thinking that they'll release the unfinished game first then fix it later after it's been released. Not always the Devs fault sometimes the studio forces a sudden release date but still the laziness is unreal.

      games back then were expensive as f* and you had to get your information by a single page in a magazin you had to buy in order to be even made aware of the game
      The industry nowadays releases a lot of buggy messes. and? Noone forces anybody to buy it. They openly state that there are bugs. Everybody, including incredible helpful channels like the one you run aswell. They are saving us and them a ton of money by letting us do the bug hunting. Everybody can decide by themself if they hop the train, or simply wait another 3 years.
      i have rather this than waiting twice as long and then paying the tripple amount of money because certain Companies cant risk not making a profit with a Game.
      Imperator2 could have been a company crippling moneygrave. But after giving it to us early they realized that we are not interested in the idea, stopped development after refining it to be playable and moved on without wasting further recources

    Fine Art is in high demand among obscenely wealthy pops and also tends to be very profitable so that's why Capitalists build Art Academies. Keep in mind automated investment pool construction prioritizes profit plus some attention to infrastructure.
    Also there is still this weird dichotomy with the civil war where it's either the revolution will be too powerful to beat or the movement won't be radical enough to actually start the war (at least 100 radicalism is needed to start a war)

    A problem i run into was lack of recources. At a certain point while playing the US i annexed every oil producing tile. My economy started to grew solely driven by inflation as there was no feasable way for me to lower prices. At the same time every other nation on earth simply died economicly as noone could compete with the prices my factories were offering for the existing recources .Same with Wood. Playing as China you have no chance but fighting wood wars in order to even survive.
    With my last China i reached a GDP of 4,6 Billions. After that it simply became a chore as i was only fighting wars in order to satisfy my need for paper. Oil and Coal were again a problem but one i eased somewhat by building 10k Hydroelectric powerplants instead of any other type.
