I for once would rather not focus on having a massive uniform army that always ends up happening.

I... don't understand?

I'm just saying that i think Japan isn't the best place. We can be smaller in other areas too. The Tarim Basin, near D, would lead to a smaller population focused around city-states, likely with a high trade focus.

You mean until we get tired of getting overran by the large armies from Nomads and hire and then train a massive army because SV hates losing.

And the Tian Shan Mountains are chopped liver, eh? XD

More seriously, I can understand that. But it's not necessarily going to work that way. Plus, I think that the Ganges Delta is a really good location.

I mean I like to start somewhere like the Nile yes, but SV will determine to go anti slavery and focus on drowning everyone with population numbers, ever single time.
Which if the Op is being truthful about this.

There is a reason the game information encourages critical thinking. Voting purely on preference can be detrimental to your survival.

Just curious (not that I disagree) why do you see being anti-slavery and building a huge population as leading to ripping ourselves apart. I'm kinda confused on your reasoning. Not disagreeing with you, but mind elaborating?

Guys, picking Japan means being stuck isolated until you have oceanworthy boats. And Japan is kind of shitty for agriculture and minerals. Pick the floodplains of China, India or the Middle East instead. India if you want isolation and boat due to the long coastlines, and mountains capping it.
China if you want war, because of the long steppe border.

Also theres no problem with Matriarchial due to our gender imbalance, we have a scenario of many men competing for the attentions of a small number of women, which puts the power in a twist.

Large populations without good communications tend to be unstable, and most large empires start ripping when they get large populace, now Slavery is of course not an answer for this problem, but it tends to concentrate the power struggles to elites rather then different nations effectively forming inside us and deciding that they don't like each other (in group Vs out group sucks).

Good SV's love of boats over roads will be helpful when/if we choose that then.

Not to be rude, but you seem to be basing your entire argument on a Batman Gambit and a number of assumptions about how this game will work.

Now, not all of those assumptions are unfounded, but basing everything on those seems counterintuitive to me.

Why is it so terrible if we choose, say, India? Besides a large population space, and the mentioned assumptions?
