Update 6: Chinese Glory, Japanese Downfall, Indian InferiorityThe Senate of the Chinese Republic have decided that we should punish the Japanese for their piracy!
First of all we gotta rebuild our military infrastructure that is, Barracks; Gunpowder (and later on, Mobile Warfare) makes them 'obsolete' and forcibly sells all standing Barracks for 40 coins.
Also we captured a leader of that uprising! 50 coins to our treasury, yay.
Oh hey they actually have 2 cities! Our galley just found this one by accident, I moved it south instead west. We will need extra musketeers and catapults it seems.
I forgot that Aztecs have Lighthouse! No wonder their trireme got so far on its own.
PS: It sailed away, was later seen passing by Hangchow's shores, and then disappeared without a trace.Maaan I just noticed the amount of Corruption that Hangchow has! This place is den of criminals, but we will fix it.
...and the Senate just signed peace treaty with the Japanese behind my back when I refused to see their emissary! CURSE YOU SENATE! *angry fistshake*
Oh really?
You wish, Japanese pirates! Our forces are occupying your precious rice paddies and mines!
TRY ME.
Pffffffft, as if Japanese had
anything to say about being honorable!
However! The Senate have relented its peacemaking ways and didn't implode our Republic once we broke the treaty. Phew, crisis averted.
It seems that Japanese had a whole lot of gold in Kyoto! Our musketeers captured the city after the catapult mauled a Legion stationed in the Japanese capital. Now onto Osaka.
And like that, the Japanese are gone. 2 out of 7 Civilizations
* of this world are gone.
I've disbanded the catapults and with all this cash, was able to rush some city improvements across our empire.
I also did this:
It's about time we paid our neighbours the Indians a diplomatic visit, don't you agree? I will try to establish embassy with them to spy on their units, cities and research. I also decided to launch some Caravans; the trade with Indians could boost our income a bit!
And this is what happens when you don't scout around your borders every so often! But as long as Indians aren't hostile, I'm content with that city just sitting there-
They expelled my diplomat! The bastards.
Aw yiss.
Awww yissss.
Our diplomat snuck into Lahore and established embassy with Indians and they... they
suck. Look at it! Despotism, in 40BC! They have 6 cities; Bombay and Delhi which we knew about earlier, plus Lahore here, and 3 others.
Gandhi is also at war with the Vikings, which worries me. Vikings start all the way in Europe, even past Greeks. They must have a considerable empire and/or amount of riders to wage war with Gandhi.
Look at me throne room! All this marble and furs <3
And our caravan makes it to Delhi undisturbed. 102 coins is quite a hefty amount, really.
It won't be a bad place to end this very successful update and continuation of the story of Chinese Republic; let's top it with a map! Had to unzoom a little bit to get all our cities in it:
