Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

I should read Iso's app now.

Also Hugs, you haven't posted IC in almost a year. Go post, you had plenty of time.

If it can't, I'll probably drown myself in skim milk.

@Raddum

Don't drown yourself in lies.

Being the Bad Guy

There is no good or bad. Only moral relativity.

Fallout: Equestria - of RP and Bellyrubs

Just to let you know, I'm currently working on a new character.

And by that, I mean I've made four characters and scrapped them all and have only now found what I truly want.

@Raddum

Pray it be something that can be used.

Oh cool.

Now to schedule a post for this, I guess. Also Colonial needs some love. Folk betrayed me on this.

Although with Blue Coal China may have decided to industrialise, although their conservative ways as Dinh mentioned may have stilll gotten in the way. It is up to googs.

@duck55223

Well Cixi did perform some form of western industrialization in the early 60's on Cixi's orders after the Second Opium War. But it probably wasn't near aggressive enough at the start, and given the date difference it probably wouldn't amount to much.

What really sank them was their refusal to update the military. They attempted to do so, but Cixi got pissed off when the British ships they bought came to China with a British crew and still under British command. When negotiations on them turned sour they sent them back to England.

Oh yes, my mistake.

Actually a question for duck, since the Blue Coal appeared in all of Asia quite a lot. What meant Japan was able to steal so much land??? China alone would surely out muscle any production Japan has. And each country would industrialise rapidly and militarise rapidly with their own strong sauce of blue coal.

@gowia

The thing with China in the mid-late 19th century was that they had become ass backwards in a lot of areas. They didn't progress in the same way as the rest of Europe and by the time of the late Qing they were pretty stuck in their conservative ways. They tried to make some efforts but it was ultimately rather lost and rather late. The Empire had lost several wars aimed at forcing China to open up several key ports they wanted to keep closed, which was a humiliation to the Manchu court in Peking. So in the non-fictional world they had a strained concept of the West when the European powers and Japan were carving up their Empire for their sphere of influences.

Hell, at this time many Chinese units would still be using crossbows they're that far behind, never mind using modern rifles or muskets. They may have had the most effective bureaucracy and most advancement, but that was all well in the past. Folks like Cixi were the final nail in the coffin in a China strained with humiliation from several wars over ports and already carved up by outside interference. Sun Yet-Sen probably isn't a factor yet though, so they got that going for them.

And believe me, China being destroyed by the tiny island nation that is Japan took the rest of the world by shock too.



Though that was 1890.

Any political commentators in China might say the Mandate of Heaven was on its way out for the Aisin-Gioro clan. Then promptly get their heads lobbed off.

Anonymously confess your Spam crush.

imo Anon is pretty hot.

We should all crush on Anon.

Iso - I'll speak my mind on your app tomorrow or something when I'm not feeling lazy.

Jed/Cheesy - I got some issues from Hugs over your app so I took them and met with Googer on the issue. I would have met with Vilage but he wasn't on. But the three of us concluded that you're still rather persistent on pushing the tech boundaries more than need be. Poland is a semi-glorified arms dealer, not a military think tank. You also forgot to mention or bring up that Poland is pretty much using Armenia as their market testing ground for their guns and similar equipment, which is something that needs to be said because it's honestly pretty major.

But beyond admitting to national troubles during the Great War (that I can tell anyways, and hope you implied) you do skirt around and don't mention the issue of any unrestful bodies from Ukraine or Czechoslovakia being members of this Polish-lead political union. The only area this comes up is Polish military presences, which isn't a way to enforce security and we're afraid you're going to game around the issue of Czech and Ukrainian nationalism with the cheap "Military Presence" card and expect them to be stable and subservient members to Polish hegemony.
