That is what is so charming about Lettow: he revels in his eccentricity.

Jesus.

I don't think Jesus was a girl... Not even with a bottle of booze

He is in Lettow's alternative world where all the major world religious figures are young virginal maidens.

I shouldn't have googled ... :lol:

White uniform, pipe, Tu-4s? I'm sure this must be Churchill.

Now I know the British Empire was hardly Democratic but it seems a little far to call Churchill a dictator.

Um, no.  That's quite enough of that.  I'm not sure which is more disturbing, Stalin depicted as young girl, or that the picture is set so you are looking up hisr/her(?) skirt.  There must be a whole generation of really sexually confused men in Japan.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I will never be able to sear the image of Pol Pot's cameltoe out of my head.

Now that's a quote.

It's just weird on every level.  It's weird that a racist Neoconfederate loves it.  It's weird that he's posting it on this forum.  It's weird that the Japanese made a game like this.  And it's really, really weird that in a game about the most storied period in Japanese history-the Sengoku Jidai-they make all the characters look Caucasian.

Perhaps even weirder is that from all reports it's apparently a good game - despite the dubious sexual shenanigans.

I was going to play as Crete which was known as a muslim pirate haven in the 9th century. However, because of how they re-did tech, I have access to no ships. :hmm:

edit: also unlike the Christians, there are no merc groups I can use with ships...

How big is your realm and how fast are you expanding?

Various sizes :P

And once factions start popping up I generally stop expanding (unless I can get by with just mercs and my retinue).  Getting into a war is pretty risky since if you suffer a big loss you can pretty much count on a faction war.  The worst is when you have Gavelkind succession, your brothers are going to get most of your dad's fiefs and you can expect a big war coming sooner rather than later and losing it means you go from King to Count.
Expand or die in my opinion. That way you have duchies for your heir to create for prestige upon your death, and to give to nobles who will be loyal vassals.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Don't tell the Japanese that, they'll usually disagree vehemently.

Yeah, and they disagree that what they did Nanjing was bad.
