First time playing in China. What am I trying to achieve?
Long time Ck2 and Ck3 player, but first time playing in china with dlc after a long break from the game. I started in Tang with a local leader which obviously fell apart quick. I reunited China under me just about within a generation. Since then I seem stuck in a pretty unfulfilling loop. I inherit, put down an inevitable rebellion, spend loads of money on grand projects to spread culture and religion whilst stomping annoying black turban rebels. I die, cycle repeats. Any expansion is cripplingly slow as no cassus belli. Diplomacy generally is pretty limited. I don't always need to be map painting but even playing tall in Europe involved a lot of diplomacy, religious conflict and fighting to get my dynasty on other thrones. Am I missing something?
