Also, question:
How detailed will you be in looking up ongoing historical issues at the point that the game starts?
the Qing Empire was at the height of the Taiping rebellion in 1861. Do I need to resolve that, or will you not be looking at that stuff?
I am also interested in this question.
Japan was just at the very beginnings of the fall of the Tokugawa regime. Can I begin the destruction of the Tokugawa regime right from the beginning or do I need to wait some time before doing it? (The reformation into the Imperial system again occurred in 1868, instead of 1861, but the stage was already well set in 1861 for the people to want a change. So I don't know how much backlash, would actually be expected.)
