The Han Chinese elite have squashed the Taiping Rebellion.
We are hopefull the new Hunan Army will take active control of the now defunct Qing dynasty.

Under the command of our new eminent scholar-generals we intend on restoring order to our region, and welcome all who share in our common goals.

We are no stranger to Western ideals and welcome meetings with our Asian brothers.

Sincerely,
David E Watson -Radical Social Reformist

Hey there Imperial Folks!

It's with great pleasure that I announce the arrival of Dave Watson to the game. He has been an observer for the last several turns, and has now been good enough to offer to step in to helm the Chinese position. I'm extremely happy to have him in the game with the rest of you fine blood-thirsty cut-throats. =)

We'll reboot Fall 1864 - orders are unlocked and may be changed. Dave has not told me that we can go ahead without some time to diplome, so we will reset the Fall 1864 deadline for Wednesday, September 26th (11:59 PM GMT). I know this has been quite a delay but I thank you all for hanging in there.

I have attached the Summer 1864 map, as well as the Spring and Summer 1864 adjudications. Please keep in mind that the map can also always be found at:

Cheers folks. Welcome Dave. And Game On!
