Very sad that you chose to keep goose shit green as the colour of the biggest country on Earth at start. It deserves a beautiful colour (plus it's still to similar to Delhi's and Khmer's colour and it's not immediately obvious at first glance who their numerous vassals belong to)
On the bright side it probably quickly falls apart

Why not first change the colour to white, and then tweak the map shaders to make it look good?
Because if we don't do the changes so that it looks good first, it would result in it looking bad, and we do not want that. Keep in mind that there's people actively testing the game, we do not want to cause issues for them either.

If the image is correctly interpreted, the actual pronunciation of「bǎo-dí」(宝坻) in the illustration should be 「bǎo-chí」or「bǎo-dǐ」. The character "坻" originates from Classic of Poetry(《诗经 蒹葭》), where the original line reads: "溯游从之,宛在水中坻" . The character "坻" means "a higher ground in water." At that time, its pronunciation was「chí」. The modern pronunciation「dǐ」is allegedly inherited from an oral mispronunciation by Emperor Qianlong(乾隆) of the Qing Dynasty during an inspection tour.

And Wú qīng(武清)should be Wǔ qīng in Northern Mandarin(官话)

It seems China will continue to be underrepresented in eu5 like it was in eu4 lol

Why do Korea, France, Britain Castile etc have 5x more location density than China?

So white currently really looks that much worse than swamp green?

Clearly they should rename the game to China Universalis

Can we change vegetation? The plains of Hebei and Zhongyuan have always been important agricultural regions in ancient Chinese history, although the economy of North China suffered severe decline during the Yuan Dynasty, possibly leaving large areas of wasteland, it would be too unhistorical if they couldn't be redeveloped back into farmland.

He always tries to angle that the devs are racist or something for "focusing only in Europe" when its just not true.

Game called Europa Universalis btw.

Are the modifiers for population capacity for Subtropical still less than Mediterranean? I'm concerned that with Europe being the most location dense region and having the most population dense climates (Indefensibly so, in my opinion) what should be high density subtropical locations like China and India are going to struggle to match the sort of population capacities they should get vs Europe, especially in the late game.

I realize you're not going to match the location density of Europe here, but you can change the modifiers to approximate a much higher density and alleviate the problem. Has that been adjusted?

Religion:

What minorities are we not seeing on this map? I assume the greyish colour on the East Coast is Wuism, but are there other minorities under the threshold to be shown? I assume there are Manicheans?

If you do still have Wuism separate, the approach to it vs muesok is really confusing. Shouldn't we either see neither of these on the map, or both? It's strange to have such radically different approaches for such a similar religious setup.

(Also, please change Eastern Buddhism to Mahayana - or literally any better name.)

Personal preference, but I’d prefer if the southern Chinese cultures with their own language would have their culture be named after their language’s pronunciation rather than base it after Mandarin, same with their languages names if possible.

Also, I feel that for the locational dialects, it can be broken down more, like for the Min with the Hokkien and Teochew being quite different and not mutually intelligible to each other.

It's not 5x though
The density of locations:

Britain 315k km ²,267 locations (8.5 locations/10000 km ²)

France 550k km ²,450 locations (8.2 locations/10000 km ²)

Japan 375k km ²,400 locations (10.7 locations/10000 km ²)

Korea 220k km ²,144 locations (6.5 locations/10000 km ²)

China 4m km ²,1800 locations (4.5 locations/10000 km ²)

India 3.5m km ²,1200 locations (3.4 locations/10000 km ²)
