What would China have purchased from Britain? The wide variety of things Britain bought from China shows how utterly superior every aspect of...
Touche, I was insufficiently nuanced in my comment. Cheers!
The perspectives I'm familiar with say the Chinese actions were due to opium becoming a social problem. A traditionally low volume of trade...
Yeah, but French kings and nobility ruled England since 1066. Random tidbit, that is 96.8% unrelated, or maybe it kinda is: the shorthand taught...
You are solidly covering 1/2 of my biggest concern here - why a Chinese villain. OK, cool. The other part is still a concern though - why a white...
20 million dead 80% of them civilians. Takes a while for people to forget that.
I can certainly see that. It would be an interesting way to come up with stories if I ran out of ideas. Find interesting pictures, figure out how...

No worries. I'll probably buy it and experiment.
Even being able to draw, using Wonderdraw is more efficient, and I can create my own assets if I want to make the maps more unique. There are...
Checking that out and I must say I'm horrified. What about the romance of meticulously drawing countless tiny inverted v-shaped mountains with...
I hope I'm not violating any taboos against necromancy here, please don't burn me at the stake! I feel compelled to correct an error above. Lines...
Yeah, generally not productive. But an interesting exercise to see how differently an event could be described.
