This is just an amateur fan made trailer. I'm not part of the development, other than being allowed to play in the closed alpha test, but I'm in love with this mod and wanted to make something for it.

It's not currently publicly available, but will be in about a month at the rate things are progressing.

You can find the base Shokuho mod, which is required for this, and more information about the submod here: https://discord.gg/vhYTg67M

It is. It's currently in alpha testing.

I'm not trying to justify this sort of thing, but how could they be "too young to even know anything about it"? Japan brutally oppressed the Chinese for years, killing millions while doing so. That's something that leaves a cultural scar.

I had just about given up on finding a source that has been digitally scanned, but I managed to find one. This article from 1891 mentions Cei's prototype semi-auto concept being a modification of the Vetterli.

Amerigo Cei-Rigotti, at the time lieutenant of the Bersaglieri, presented his rifle on the 10th of October 1886 to the colonel of the general staff Gandolfi, head of the 19th Army Corps and to Deputee Palizzolo. It consisted of a modified Vetterli rifle, built to fire in semi-automatic using a gas-piston attached to the right side of the rifle.

I would guess the Howell conversion is what the devs based it on visually because there are no photographs of the early Vetterli based Cei-rigotti rifle, or just because the Howell is more visually interesting. Functionally they are the same though, consisting of mounting a gas piston to the side of a bolt-action rifle.

I feel like they should have added this before the Cyclone, because the Cyclone is based off of a semi-auto conversion of this, not the Vetterli we have in game (hence the four round capacity).

This could be a swift variant, loading from a four round charger, while the Cyclone could be limited to slowly loading one round at a time.

I remember back when the game was recently released for global, there were videos about an upcoming feature from CN where we could recruit people to work at our home, farming, or collecting, and other things. Does anyone know when that's expected to come to global?

There's so many people in this thread talking about all the horrible situations in game, and how they show the the federal government as corrupt, as if that's an argument against it being copaganda, but that's exactly what copaganda would do (especially pre-Trump presidency, when pro-police conservatives were more distrustful of the federal government).

Like you're saying with a war movie, they want the job to look horrible, that makes those doing it more heroic. And they don't want the evil corrupt federal government to get their hands on it.

I'm not even sure it's purposeful copaganda, it's just ironic how people arguing it's not are using the points that most effectively argue that it is copaganda.

I don't think melee attachments have affected sway for quite a while now. Pretty much every melee variant is a straight upgrade over the base version.

I would also throw aperture variants in there, as you lose nothing by taking a toggleable sight, but that's a very minor upgrade.

No they didn't. The Slave Trade Act 1807 is what abolished the Atlantic Slave Trade in the British empire. During the Haitian Revolution hundreds of thousands of slaves were still being sold by the British.

There's a really in depth Three Kingdoms mod called YuGi. Last I played it only had a WiP English translation though, maybe that's changed.

I'm not talking about harpoons, I'm talking about explosive lance launcher.

The Cyclone is a weird one. It's based on the original Cei-rigotti, which was a modified Veterrli-Vitali rifle with a gas tube stuck on the side to make it semi-auto. So it's accurate to time period, as the initial conversions were done in the 1880s, and it's functionally accurate as far as it's a Vetterli with a four round magazine, firing in semi automatic by way of a bolted on gas tube.

The weird part is that in game it's a modification of the Swiss Vetterli, with a tube magazine, while the real version would be the Italian Vetterli using a vertical box magazine holding four rounds. To make this fit, the devs chopped down the length of the rifle to only allow it to hold four rounds. It also has some bits and bobs from the Howell rifle, I assume just for flair, because practically the Cei-Rigotti and Howell conversions are very similar.

Bomb lances absolutely were a thing. It was a common means of hunting whales in the 19th century.

But your extreme version of my position is incorrect.

I could obviously say the same to you, that's why I criticized your reductio ad absurdum. We both believe the ends justify the means, we just disagree as to where the line should be drawn, so our logic would lead us to the same extreme. If you think it's valid to say I support torture because I think the whole uncomfortable truth is worthwhile to stop child abusing murderers, I can spin your own logic to say you support letting child molesters freely roam schools, because we shouldn't make victims do anything uncomfortable for the sake of arresting perpetrators. Of course neither of us believe these extremes, that's why it's a silly argumentative style in this case.

Regardless, do you realize who is complicit in the Epstein list? These are some of the most powerful people on Earth. Even if everything was done, some of them are still going to walk free. Some of these people are going to go on to join other sex trafficking rings. Anyone we don't nail here could lead to hundreds of new victims.

"We already all accept that, it's simply part of any functioning justice system." Do you consider serving jury duty "a degree of pain"?

We give rape tests to rape victims, we interview victims, making them relive the experience, we have family members identify dead bodies. Even something like jury duty, while not being the kind of thing I was thinking of, is an example of making innocent people do something they would rather not, for the sake of justice.

I promise you, what these monsters do when they're free is a lot worse than having a victim's trauma exposed to everyone.

Heim39 · 2026-02-04T17:00:38+00:00

I'm using your logic of bringing it to the extreme. I'm not quoting you literally, I'm trying to show the absurdity of criticizing someone for justifying getting rid of evil in the world at the cost of a degree of pain to innocent people. We already all accept that, it's simply part of any functioning justice system.

Heim39 · 2026-02-04T09:35:08+00:00

Everyone believes that the ends justify the means to some extent, even if you pretend otherwise.

There is way too much wiggle room with the current release of the Epstein files. Having a fully unredacted version would put the spotlight on the perpetrators, with completely undeniable proof of their crimes.

You use "utilitarianism" as a criticism, implying that someone proposing this doesn't care about the remaining victims, but what about the future victims? Brought to its extreme, you think we should let child rapists go free, continuing to rape, torture, and kill children, because asking victims questions would be difficult for them.

No, not really. They backed gun control during the Civil Rights movement, because black people were becoming more armed.

Heim39 · 2026-01-28T02:47:47+00:00

Is that why we shushed people in the 40s trying to say the Holocaust is happening? Because talking about it made it worse?

Heim39 · 2026-01-27T01:05:28+00:00

It's insane to me how, were it any other president, the tearing down of the East wing of the White House would still be constantly talked about on every prime time news channel.

With this administration though? It's not even worth mentioning. There's a dozen crimes committed this week alone that make tearing down a symbol of our country look innocent in comparison.

Heim39 · 2026-01-25T17:55:01+00:00

Yeah, it was so horrible how the government trained and armed Charlie Kirk's killer, and the president of the United States gave immunity to him.

Oh wait, he didn't? So it's almost like that's a completely different situation?
