1 question about the stats, If Fujian lost a city why do they still have 5 Industries? (Also i believe the captured city isnt' counted toward Jiangsu's stats...)
cus i dont do the changes on the stats until the war is over. if you capture a city you can count on that income, as they wont have it.
The cities that are under siege are not completely surrounded, other than that in cordoba because the army is surrounding it and the fleet is blocading them. As of the other cities they still have a link to the other places since they arent completely surrounded.
The loud sound of laughter could be heard far outside the room, the Emperor and his generals where being told the accounts of Japanese Ninja spies and other Japanese Agents witnessing the warfare in Fujian, they were deeply amused by what they saw as incompetence of the Chinese warriors, in the court it was generally though that “if instead of breeding all day long the Chinese would spend time training they could make decent warriors, for barbarians”, however no one doubted that the worst samurai could kill a dozen of Chinese warriors by himself, a Kengo would likely be able to destroy divisions single handedly and a Kensai would likely be able to destroy armies with minimal efforts and forge an empire, but why would any Japanese want to rule over those barbarians.
The discussion then turned on the state of Japanese colonies, the Hokkaido settlement was quite successful, the local barbarians proved no real danger and were considered pure enough to be Assimilated as Japanese peasants, on the Philippines trading posts where established and some trade was beginning to be held, however the trading post were merely an excuse to give Japanese agents a good base from where to begin investigating the area and evaluating its value for colonization. The evaluation produced mixed results, the area was considered good enough for extensive agriculture, industrial potential was also considered decent, commercially it was very viable as the exotic Agricultural and Industrial products would fetch amazing prices when traded. The negative part of the evaluation were the natives, deeply unsophisticated, aggressive and generally unfit for assimilation, they would have to be disposed of. It was decided that they would have to be exterminated through labor, they would be worked to death while preparing the land for Japanese colonization.
