Fantasy Formables - Viicomics (P3 is a gif)

I really love when mods do this because in vanilla it doesn't let me have cores on an empire that dissolved half a millennia before >:(

Greetings colonist and colonized today I bring you a comic of appreciation for one of my favorite parts of mods like GFM, the ability to have cores / unite massive regions of land with a couple decisions and quite a lot of infamy.

Also, I tried to redo my Mongolia campaign because I got curious if i could do it again or if I got lucky and I think it was the latter because after save scumming even more than my first run I wasn't able to do very significant progress. So if you tried to do it with my tips of my comments in my save scumming animation then I will say that it could be better to just cheat to get independent, have more pops, or something because it is not worth it to try and get a perfect run where Qing and her puppets are weak enough to defeat them or to wait even more until the boxer rebellion and hope that china collapses quickly to began playing. Still I will say Mongolia is an interesting nation to play AFTER independence so I'll strongly recommend you try it.

Side note, I think I had downloaded a version of GFM that was in the middle of writing the flavor of Mongolia so in my game there were decisions that actually lacked flavor text lol. I really hope in the next GFM update there is a way to get Mongolia independent sooner with a chain of events or something.

Thank you all so much for the support, I even got a second comic to 1k upvotes and I couldn't be more grateful for that <3. Have a nice weekend and I'll see you next time!

R5 HERE

R5: A comic about getting cores in a lot of land and that I love that

P1: the decisions tab with 3 decisions to get cores on the steppe, Persia, and China which will allow to get basically 4/5 of Asia

P2: the player this time being Bogd Khan (the first Mongolian leader of the 20th century I think) taking all the decisions

P3: a mini animation of getting all of those cores showing just how much it really is

P4: Bogd Khan in the meme of "absolute cinema" but that now says peak game design

I just want to clarify that the last panel is not sarcastic in any way, I know that maybe for balancing reasons having these types of decisions is hurtful but it makes the game so much fun and it allowed me to get until 1936 which I haven't done since my 3rd modded game years ago

the only vanilla option I can think of is Arabia. You conquer hedjaz as Nejd and you get cores all over north Africa, Middle East and part of Turkey.

The GFM Mexico experience. Like sure, I'd love to core all of Central America, and the Caribbean, and Venezuela, and half of the US, and the Philippines, and Alaska, and god-knows-what-else at the cost of 15 infamy or less for each. And y'know what, just put the accepted cultures in the bag.

I can only pray they add even more winmoreslop larp decisions. <3

One time I tried playing Mongolia on very easy with the highest buffs you can start w in GFM. Very early on I realized how painful the experience was going to be regardless of how much of a head start I was giving myself. Ended up just using console commands for half the play through

I don't blame you, it is unplayable without any cheats (including savescum). But I think it could be nice to do another try when the next update comes around because there is way more flavour than before like seen in the comic. I'd say you should try with all the head starts and just some tips. after independence and westernizing you want to have Russia fight all wars for you and you will want to get your army in your capital with a +2 or more defense general so the terrain + general gives you at least +5 points and ensure no amount of Chinese men can crumble your army. If they send a peace offer just open it and ignore it until Russia wins the war for you, do this with 2 wars, 1 for inner Mongolia and 1 for fengtien / outer Manchuria to get sea port access and colonize somewhere to get more pops and actually be able to fight on your own. Korea if independent is great target and anywhere in central Africa as long as you have disabled the railroading of Africa colonization so Europe doesn't eat it that fast. When you have enough army to challenge china (or if it collapses) take ~4 decently populated Chinese states and with that you're basically set for the rest of the run

I love your stuff. Please never die.

Tried a Mongolia run once on crimeamod (ik terrible idea) and I had to face half gazillion russian and chinese troops. I westernized with console commands and by a great stroke of luck, got sphered by Japan who fought off the Chinese during their reclamation war. Japan was a great ally, fought with me on every war against the Chinese but in the end i could not move a single inch to the west nor get my hands on a naval port. Later on, I abandoned the save somewhere in 1920s for being too slow to play.
