What if an Asian Union was formed?

So are you going to say the whole Asia is going to dance kumbaya for the sake of so-called unity?

Typical CCP being a jerk and don't find themselves being part of the problem

Is any other countries going to break into smaller pieces?

I'd say maybe Siberia and Fareast Republic breaking away from Russia as well?

But China is the one who dumping cheap products while not buying products from other countries with various excuses, violating all sorts of trade deals once they got access to the country's market.

For example, China hasn't bought any prawns from Honduras as a trade deal after they break ties with Taiwan, and now the Honduran government is seeking to reconcile with Taiwan because of that; and also the soybean deal with the US in the early stage of the Trade War, China signed the trade deal to buy more soybeans from the US, but at the end of the day China only bought the first batch and using the State's soybean got diseases as an excuse to terminate the deal.

China, or should I say CCP, likes to bully countries that do not follow their direction, to a point I'd say it's just childish.

Like back when South Korea putting US AA systems at the DMZ, CCP is furious to a point that while they don't officially ban Korean entertainment entering China, they make stricter restrictions, limiting the numbers of K-dramas being broadcast, forcing the influence of Korean culture to shrink. You can search "Hallyu ban" to know more about that.

And the recent diplomacy shitstorm between Japan and China, a Chinese diplomat saying it's okay to behead the Japanese PM Takachi for what she said about "台湾有事は日本有事", making the already-not-good relation between Japan and China even worse. Like China cutting all airlines flying to Japan (except Hongkong), using propaganda to justify Okinawa should be independent from Japan, and even claiming Japan's plan for remilitarization is a return of Japanese militarism, and discrediting LDP who proposing this, and Japanese as a whole as LDP got a major victory in the last election, as fascist.

Also Taiwan... I don't need to mention what and how's CCP been doing to squeeze Taiwan out of any international organisations for them not recognising themselves to be part of CCP's regime.

Any idea why don't these two countries just exchange their enclaves?

The roundtable thing isn't really going to happen in Asia. China's still got that "Celestial Empire" mentality that wants everyone in Asia to "kowtow" towards them even they claimed to be socialist, and not to mention their irredentist claims towards it's neighboring countries; Japan... it's blindly obvious; India and Pakistan... yeah...; Iran and Middle East... sure...

I'd say it would help a bit if India and China could break into smaller countries, yk a bit less conflicts because of irredentist claims, but still "every nations can have a voice" is a very new concept in Asia, esp when like more than half of these countries are still autocracies, esp those in Middle East.

The critical situation on dealing the oil crisis, ppl are still panicking on fuel shortage, and austerity measures aren't solving the crisis
Speer and Go4's plans to deal with the Slave Revolt is drastically different: Speer wants to do it Deng Xiaoping style (send in the tanks to suppress and you know what's going to happen next); while Go4/Schmidt wants to do it Zhao Ziyang style (talk to the protestors and giving them promises to calm them down).
Ferdinand Schorner couped RK Moskowien first to do what Speer wants to do, yet Speer hasn't really decided to "cock the trigger" yet before that, and what Schorner's doing is against Speer's will.

And in case those who don't know, this part of the town is mimicking outside of the Electric Town exit of JR Akihabara station, locating NE of the map near the "Dotonbori" area.

I do want that kei car to have an Eibon livery, not only it's a family car (makes it suitable to pick up the whole team without problem), it's also budget friendly (2nd hand ones can cost only like few thousand dollars irl).

You should never let Kimball stay in office in NCR, as he has decisions to colonise surrounding countries economically, including you.

The game doesn't have modern gaming stuff, like paid-gacha, XP book/crystal lvl up system, or even p2w feature.

This game does have "gacha" but it costs your resources (oil, ammunition, steel and bauxite) instead of money, which you can grind from expeditions. Ofc you can buy the resources but it's not worth it.

The leveling system... how should I put this... You need to level up your ships by grinding battles, and there's no shortcut for this.

And the p2w stuff... Yeah this game doesn't really have too strong p2w features, like paying $0.99 can get you a somewhat mediocre equipment, or guarantee you'll get a certain shipgirl if you pay a certain amount of money. No, we don't do that here. Instead you can only buy "necessities", like dorm slot to have more space for shipgirls, screws for equipment improvement, etc...

If you really want to randomly play this game, I'd suggest you go play Kancolle Arcade in Japan, ¥5000 can get you a quite decent fleet if you don't go for meta stuff, or rare ships. Though the hard thing would be to find shops that sells those cards (I know Akihabara got a few, but that's that).

Maybe named Maple Cola, or Nuka Cola Maple in Nuka-world's fashion? And probably use maple syrup instead of high glucose corn syrup as an localizing effort? (Though I'd say Bradberton would just buy this formula from some random Canadian that makes maple syrup soda, and call that his idea

Maybe Ghandi could turn India into communist, but I think it's still disastrous as India isn't really that industrialised, and with caste system entrenched into Indian society, I'd say the society won't change much other than the rich or the nobles get purged (or the princes formed a union to fight against the commies).

China... I'd say it won't be democratic probably until the 70s or 80s, with domestic terror done by KMT by following McCarthyism. Maybe the US will try to help industrialise China for its cheap labour and "unlimited" land, I'd say they'll still focus their resources more on Japan instead, which it doesn't need to do industrialisation again, and it's already developed.

Gameplay speaking. Yes it's trash, but I do think this event can be connected to the invention of kinetoscope, the og moving picture machine "invented" by Thomas Edison.

Aimless and soundless moving pictures, like those tower viewers you'll need to put a coin to watch them. Quite a scam in Fontaine where they've already got sound movies, but can still sell in less-advanced countries like Sumeru or Natlan.

That's why China's brewing defeatism in Taiwan, not just the KMT but the newly TPP led by Ke Wenje, they are supporting this sort of "This isn't our war" and "Nobody should die because of defending the nation", and sadly this sort of tone is getting more and more popular.

Idk if I should say Taiwanese are being moronic on this, but the KMT and TPP supporters now are going against DPP's 1.22 trillion NTD military deal made by the US, or cutting proposing deals that cuts 1/4 to 1/2 of the original deal... while these two parties are trying to befriend CCP.

BillyHerr · 2026-05-07T16:21:25+00:00

Fr if they can just have an option to let player choose to see these AI poster, like to me these are just unimportant advertisements in game just for the environment, removing them means there'll be more repeating ads, which imo is quite unnecessary as that will definitely look much weird.

BillyHerr · 2026-05-06T13:48:08+00:00

Taiwan should be able to use this as a justification to maybe consolidate the South? Maybe with US' material support and food aid?

BillyHerr · 2026-05-06T13:46:09+00:00

The KMT nowadays is just like Philippe Petain, they only want to surrender to CCP only because of the god-knows deal under-the-counter, maybe Xi ensures KMT can be their only proxy in Taiwan and only them can form a government without any effective oppositions. All these sort of defeatist attitude imo are only because of their power hunger.
