I've played the hardest difficulty once, and it was ok difficulty apart from the piss easy endgame in Ran route, ogres were a joke as was Shimazu. It's really not THAT hard - ok, you occasionally lose a battle, but it's not like that'll hurt you long term. Just have to use tactics that make the number deficit unimportant - shield spells, attacks that kill a % of all enemy troops, etc. You only need 1 set of excellent characters that can win any battle, and then you can slowly take over the map even if you lose a significant amount of your defensive battles.
If I'd use all the bonus points I got from that playthrough (130 or so iirc), there's no way it'd be still challenging anymore if I used all that when it felt kinda just right with the 20? points I had from my 1st playthrough.

But it would be nice to play it on hardest and go on a route which would have a satisfying endgame.

Because I am learning how to play now, any tips guys? I am having some serious problems with bringing stability to sectors. Like I sometimes put four admirals in the sector it it doesn't rise much (stability is a big deal - without it provinces do not produce any resources).

Normal admirals raise stability very little (It takes 8 turns for them to go to 100% stability from 0). For certain routes, you need to plan your admiral movement accordingly - some admirals can raise the peace level two or three times faster. Yamamoto has the "peacekeeper" skill, for example. Always have an admiral in a unstable province and try to move your peacekeeper/idol admirals so that you make the most of their ability.

The next update will show you one way to live with the low income in early game, in case you missed it.


I have a problem bros. I conquered Malay Tiger province some time ago. I've put there both Yamamoto (peacekeeper) and Hanitora (idol). I've been waiting for 5 turns and the public order did not improve in the slightest. WTF is going on?

Yeah, the main problem is the battle permits. With them you only need to fight 1 battle to conquer territories, all other offensive battles and all defensive battles can be beaten by having a single unit with permits. On the one hand it screws up balance completely, on the other hand fighting all of those battles would be an incredibly slow grind. Alicesoft adding them was a great idea, without it I would never be able to stand multiple playthroughs (esp on higher difficulties), but there needed to be some better way to balance them.

You sure you don't have Higuchi or the Nordic Princess there? They have special skills which negate public order improvement.

:facepalm:

Another problem - how does one conquer Hawaii? Jesus Christ I tried everything but because I don't have carriers I get steamrolled there. I defeat the main flaet no problem but the one with carriers is simply an overkill.

Edit: Scratch that, I somehow managed. Goddamn that one battle was simply epic (in the original meaning of the word). The downside is, now I have to deal with HIM!

Insert clever insult here
Well, I hate that I can only have 30 Commanders and I also hate if I can't recruit them all during one playthrough, but that's just me. I'm annoyed that IE/GB games only allow you 6 persons in the party too... :?

Most people who take Hawaii early in the game do so by abusing Tougou's random invincibility.

Except the first time isn't random, it's guranteed so they don't use him in battle until then.

But yeah, it's one of the more fortified location in the game and doing it with low tech is an accomplishment

Update 6: Scandinavian Leather
In which the might of Japan grows, Ragnarök draws closer and a furry is revealed.

Turn 5. Event in Japan... again.

Imperial Navy Headquarters―

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Minister Tougou. Did you know that a large monster appeared near Japan yesterday?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Ah... Well, it's almost the season when they start waking up from their hibernation... It's a bit early this year though.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Exactly. Thats why we should perform the "Divine Wind Ceremony" right away.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] I understand. I'll arrange the ceremony then.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] I hope it doesn't bother you...​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Heh, I'd say it's far more exhausting for Mikado, she has to do this year after year...​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Right... Naturally, as a minister you will have to attend that ceremony.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Hahaha, I know.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Then let's go...​

The next day.​

Onboard the bridge of Tougou's flagship, the Nagato―

dai_145.jpg


mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Hello, Tougou. I'm ready to depart.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] We'll be leaving then, Mikado. I hope you enjoy your stay and our exquisite onboard meals.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Fufufu...yes.​

And so they set course towards the monster. The annual ceremony was to be held according to tradition, onboard the Navy's flagship.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Akiyama, are you ok? Your hands are trembling...​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Well, um... it's just, this is the first time I've meet Empress Mikado...​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Ah, you're being nervous?​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Of course... to us Japanese, Mikado is like a living goddess.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Calm down. Mikado is a very easygoing person. You two will get along well.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] I just don't want to be impolite.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] What's wrong, Tougou? Is something the matter?​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Hahaha, Akiyama and I were just talking about how cute you are, Mikado-chan.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] E-eh, really? Do you think I'm cute?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Of course. And Akiyama does too.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] W-what? WHAT?​

Because Akiyama was acting as if he hadn't said it, the situation became more awkward for him.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] You... you don't think I'm cute?​

Mikado started to look a bit disappointed.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Ah, n-no! You are very cute and a lovely lady, Mikado!​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Thank you, Akiyama. That makes me very happy!​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] N-no problem...​

Akiyama smiled, his face turned red like a tomato.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Akiyama... congratulations! You managed to compliment a woman...​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Stop grinning like that, you devil!​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Hahaha, let me fix you a candlelight dinner to celebrate this tonight.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Candlelight dinner?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Oh, it's just a bad joke. I wanted to tease him a bit.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] Oh my... This is really not the time for jokes. Please just get us to our destination so we can perform the ceremony.​

Head Maid Maru, who takes care of Mikado's wellbeing, spoke with a very strict voice.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] ...Fine. Lets get moving then.​

dai_146.jpg


tougou.jpg
[Tougou] I heard that it's as large as a planet. I can't wait to actually see it...​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Minister Tougou!​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Sounds like it's showtime... Let's head to the observation room and get this ceremony over with.​

dai_147.jpg


Even larger than Tougou's ego. As if to ridicule the tiny humans gazing at it...​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] This is the space monster Fugaku... it's even bigger than I had imagined it. Yes... if it attacked our flagship, the Nagato, we wouldn't stand a chance.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] ...I guess. Its like a huge, organic battleship.​

[???] ...The ceremony of the Divine Wind shall begin!​

Everyone was in complete awe, when the echo of a calm voice broke the long silence.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] That voice...?​

As everyone turned around they froze. Because what they saw was...​

dai_148.jpg


mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Yes, Shibagami-sama.​

Shibagami... The god of legend who had supported the Japanese Empire since the day it was founded.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] ...Here we go.​

She looks beautiful――​

dai_149.jpg


Mikado began to dance in the starlight.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] 「Ho...ly...Wi...nd...!」​

In the starlight, she looked like an angel. She seemed like an entirely different person. One would assume Mikado had a twin sister.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] 「I offer this prayer...to calm you, sea of stars.」​

Simply beautiful――​

Mikado's dance accelerates with the Shinto music. She danced like a shrine maiden.​

shibagami.jpg
[Shibagami] 「...protect Japan from all evil with your divine wind.」​

(sound of energy rising)​

Mikado's body is engulfed in white light as Shibagami recites the holy words.​

dai_150.jpg


A giant black hole tore open the fabric of space and obstructed Fugaku's path.​

This power was ancient, it was the power of the Old Gods. It reflected itself in Japan's royal bloodline.​

RAAAAAAAAAWR...

The large space monster Fugaku turned around, struggling to escape the black hole. Thus the threat left the Japanese star system.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] ...How did you like it, Tougou? Could you see my dance during
the ceremony?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Oh, I did. You danced very gracefully.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Fufu... I'm glad that you liked it―​

Tougou thought that the way Mikado danced was pretty erotic, but he didnt say it out loud.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Mikado?​

Mikado suddenly fainted and landed in his arms.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] AHHHHHH!​

When the head maid saw Mikado resting there she misunderstood the situation and screamed.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] D-don't touch our innocent Empress. A-and take your filthy hands off her behind!​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] ...are my hands that filthy?​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] They must be, because they seem to be attracted to the more dirty corners of the body.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] ...what the heck are you doing?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Err... Mikado fainted and I caught her.​

shibagami.jpg
[Shibagami] You must be the new Navy Minister.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] That I am. Can you help me out here?​

shibagami.jpg
[Shibagami] Yes... I would be glad to give a pathetic mortal a hand.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] A pathetic mortal, Shibagami-sama?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Hah. He truly is a god through and through. Nice to meet you.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] My gosh. I'd heard stories that Shibagami would appear to civilians dressed in military apparel...​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Hahaha, that is right. And he would grant them wishes too. Quite a generous deity.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] It's a good thing that he is on our side...​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Shall I ask him for a wish then?​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] Come on... Be a little more serious here, and pay him a bit more respect.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Whoa, check out his tail!​

dai_152.jpg



The Chun Empire, Chongqing―

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] Ah... another surrender! Our 20th fleet has surrendered!​

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Comm Officer] The 18th transport group deserted! They ran away from the enemy!​

One report after another reached the Emperor. Reports of his forces surrendering to Japan or deserting.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] ...​

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Comm Officer] We've received a message from Japan, they're offering to let us surrender. How should we respond?​

BANG! BANG! BANG!

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Comm Officer] Argh...​

Emperor Shuu shot his communications officer.​

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] AHHHH!​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Shut up!​

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] ...​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Cowardice is a horrible crime. All traitors will be killed. Fight until the bitter end!​

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] B-but...​


The Chun Empire, 12th fleet――

chun_red.jpg
[Blue Soldier] This doesn't look good... What shall we do now?​

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Soldier] There's no point in dying here! We have to surrender...​

chun_red.jpg
[Blue Soldier] ...​

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Soldier] Isn't that right?​

chun_red.jpg
[Blue Soldier] ...looks like we have no other choice.​

chun_blue.jpg
[Blue Soldier] Yes!​

A surrender would save the 12th fleet.​

Hoping to save her crew's life, the commander reached for the communicator, but then―​


The Chun Empire, Chongqing――

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] ...the 12th fleet vanished from our radar. Oh god, it looks like our own ships opened fire on them...​

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] Eh...​

The communications officer turned pale. Emperor Shuu pushed her aside to look at the screen for himself.​

chun_red.jpg
[Red Comm Officer] Ah...​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Good. They were trying to desert. I gave the order to shoot all deserters!​

His own fleet was more afraid of him than of the Japanese Navy by now.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Any traitor will be killed. I'm serious! Fight or die!​


dai_154.jpg


So fight we will. As you can see, three battlegroups. Two of them we must defeat, one is just a bonus that could be ignored. Naturally, we'll kill them all.

I did two major re-organizations. I removed the recently joined traitor Admiral's Laser Cruiser and gave it to Rinfa, and swapped one Laser Cruiser from Yamamoto with one of Matsuri's Destroyers.

dai_155.jpg


Tougou will solo Shuu's flagship by himshelf, just because.

dai_156.jpg


Rinfa will take the pandas by herself (since they are not communist pandas)

dai_157.jpg


The rest of the admirals will face the toughest adversary... Prosper himself on the battleship Prosperous!

Combat starts...

dai_158.jpg


Rinfa wipes one of the panda ships, takes a whole lot of damage but is still combat capable for round 2.

dai_159.jpg


This is why I upgraded Matsuri for this fight. We have to wipe the weaker fleet out before they get a chance to return fire.

Unfortunately this means that we do not have enough firepower to destroy Tranny-Prosper's battleship in time...

dai_160.jpg


Matsuri runs out of luck and is wiped out in one shot.

dai_161.jpg


Yamamoto fires his rockets and Raizo finishes Prosperous off with a round of his cannons.

dai_162.jpg


Tougou blasts at Shuu's flagshipship...

The Chun Empire, Shuu's flagship―

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Fufufu, this will shock the Japanese. This asteroid here will be the largest battleship the universe has seen.​

chun_blue.jpg
[Operator] ...but my Emperor, all we really did was attach our cruiser to this asteroid...​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Huh? Did you say something?​

chun_blue.jpg
[Operator] N-no, I didn't...​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] My battleship will hit them as hard as an asteroid. Hahaha!​

dai_163.jpg


...and gets hit back, but Nagato is built sturdy.

dai_164.jpg


Technically, we've already won. But I want to get the bonus for the pandas.

Next round isn't as exciting. Rinfa and Tougou wipe their foes without any further damage.

dai_058.jpg


Good job, Rikori-chan. Maybe I'll character clear you this time around!

dai_059.jpg


dai_165.jpg


Everyone but Raizo and Rinfa level up. Matsuri's fleet got wiped, Rinfa is pretty badly battered and Tougou took a hit as well. But on the other hand, Chun empire is finished.


Chun Empire, Chongqing――

KAーーーBOOM!

[Seraglio Guard] Take coverー!​

chun_red.jpg
[Slave Girl] F-fall back...​

The servants inside the Seraglio were panicking.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Y-you useless women! Take up arms and defend me!​

SLASH!​

chun_red.jpg
[Slave Girl] Kiyaaaaaah!​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Haaa...haaa...!​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Don't dare to run! Fight! Defend your emperor! Fight to the deathーー!​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Haa... Haa... Haa...​

Emperor Shuu was covered with blood and breathing roughly while holding his sword and his gun. In front of him were the corpses of his slaves.​

The women from the Seraglio, he killed them all. Not one of them was spared.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Haa... They are mine. I'd rather kill them than give them to the filthy Japanese...!​

He dropped his sword onto the floor and pulled out a lighter from his pocket. Then he set the curtain ablaze with it.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] Hahahaha...​

The fire spread with incredible speed.​

shuu.jpg
[Empero Shuu] AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!​

He laughed like a madman as flames consumed him.​


The Imperial Palace, Conference Hall―

dai_167.jpg


haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] The Chun Empire is defeated! Minister Tougou has led our troops to victory. Emperor Shuu of Chun went missing. We suspect that he died in battle.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Really... that means the war with Chun finally comes to an end.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] Yes.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Please make sure the prisoners are treated well. Enough people already died during this war.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] Will do. We also assigned Himatarou Funayama to take care of the occupied territory. It is not going to be easy for him to restore order... However, if someone can convince the people of our ideal it's him.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] That's true. I hope they will get along with us.​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] Ha...of course.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Could you do me a favor and take a letter to Funayama-san?​

haru.jpg
[Head Maid Haru] Yes, sure.​

Haru handed Mikado a brush and paper.​

mikado_white.jpg
[Mikado] Thank you. I shall write then. "Dear sir..."​

dai_168.jpg


events_phase.jpg


New events are available.

dai_169.jpg


LOOT: GET!

Planet Chongqing, Emperor Shuu's former residence――

chun_red.jpg
[Housemaid] Lalalala♪ I'm a happy housemaid~♪ Cleaning the debris~♪​

chun_red.jpg
[Housemaid] Blood and corpses have to go~♪ Everything needs to shine~♪ Cleaning is my life~♪ Sweep and sweep and sweep~♪ Dust and dust and dust~♪​

chun_red.jpg
[Housemaid] ...huh? This is...​

SWOOOSH!​

chun_red.jpg
[Housemaid] Huh... A secret door opened when I cleaned this button. I wonder...​

chun_red.jpg
[Housemaid] Haa... Haaaa.. HAAAAA~~~!​


Japanese Navy Headquarters―

A hidden stash of treasure was discovered in Shuu's mansion.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Huh...so he had savings, eh.​

Tougou was amazed when Akiyama told him that they also found a yacht there.​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] What should we do about that ship?​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] What does Mikado say?​

akiyama.jpg
[Akiyama] She told me to leave it to you.​

tougou.jpg
[Tougou] Hm. Send it to our navy then. A hint of luxury can't hurt.​

enemys_phase.jpg


dai_171.jpg


3rd Reich isn't sitting idle either, it seems like...

The Scandinavian Star System―

07:24 Space Standard Time. A large fleet is approaching the small system which is ruled by the Nordic Union.​

doku_gloomy.jpg
[Adjutant] Admiral, we are within range now. The enemy fleet is now on our radar.​

rommel.jpg
[Rommel] How large is that fleet?​

doku_gloomy.jpg
[Adjutant] About twice as large as ours. T-that's...​

rommel.jpg
[Rommel] What's wrong? Is the enemy moving to intercept?​

doku_gloomy.jpg
[Adjutant] No, but there is a large number of Aeris ships within the Nordic Union fleet. That's strange...​

rommel.jpg
[Rommel] Heh, they've finally made a move. Just as our leader predicted... All fleets, prepare for blitzkrieg. Let's teach those noble knights and those savages how it's done.​

doku_gloomy.jpg
[Adjutant] Affirmative. All fleets, prepare for blitzkrieg.​


The Aeris Flagship, the Bridge――

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Fuh... The enemy hasn't moved yet.​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Sir, we're receiving a transmission from the Nordic Union flagship.​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Hm? Patch it through.​

viking.jpg
[Viking] Uh, greetings, leader of the Aeris tribe!​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Just admiral is fine. How can I help you?​

viking.jpg
[Viking] Uh...how should I put this... Will we really be ok? I heard the 3rd Reich has mighty warriors capable of overpowering fleets twice their size. And that they have warships that move faster than meteorites. I'm grateful that you came to our aid, but the warrior in my chest tells me it won't be easy.​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] I understand your concerns, but there is no need to worry. Potatoland lost due to their last generation defense fleet. Our fleet is state of the art. And regarding their speed... They will need fast engines in order to make their escape.​

viking.jpg
[Viking] I see, that relieves me! Fearless and proud, I would have expected no less from the great Empire of Aeris!​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] ...Can we end this transmission, now that we have discussed this? We have to make preparations.​

viking.jpg
[Viking] Ah, sorry for my doubts. I'll treat you to a horn filled with our best mead after this battle is won.​

*click* ...​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Gah... those filthy savages... Looking at them makes me sick. Hopefully this war will be over soon, so I can leave this damn backwater Star System.​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Admiral, we have detected an unidentified fleet heading our way. It may be the 3rd Reich.​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Right, take a defensive formation and keep a close eye on them.​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Aye, aye sir! The hostile fleet is accelerating and is closing in on us. ... W-what is this? Such...​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] What's wrong? You look shocked.​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Their ships are moving too fast... Our sensors can't be right! They have doubled their speed and yet they are still accelerating...​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Kuh...all ships, prepare for battle! Engage the hostile fleet!​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] It's too late for that! They have already breached our formation! We're completely surrounded! They're attacking from all sides!​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] W-what!?​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Incoming enemy fire!​

dai_174.jpg


aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Uwaaaaahh!​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] We received a direct hit!​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Return fire! Return fire! Show them that the Royal Navy is a force to be reckoned with!​

However, even with a combined effort both Aeris and the Nordic Union didn't stand a chance. The constant assault by Rommel's high-speed warships, which took turns while reloading between their raids, prevented any counterstrike.​

BLAM!

KABLAM!

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] What a complete disaster... They are a formidable foe...​

aeris_operator.jpg
[Operator] Admiral! Our allied fleet is sustaining heavy damage! 3 of our ships...no, make that 4 have been rendered unable to move! The enemy is without casualties!​

aeris_admiral.jpg
[Aeris Admiral] Tch... Send this message to the HQ: 「This was a battle we couldn't win, a foe we couldn't run from, like a rabbit hunted by a fox... The 3rd Reich...no, Retia Adolf  has certainly unleashed calamity upon the entire universe. We have to stop them at all costs...before it's too late.」​

The battle ended in less than a day. The fleet suffered tremendous losses and surrendered...​

dai_175.jpg


The Scandinavian Star System was now under complete control by Rommel's fleet.​

The Viking Princess of the Nordic Union had made her escape from planet Fjord. Her current whereabouts are unknown.​

dai_176.jpg


A few days after the 3rd Reichs victory, the former capital of the Nordic Union is visited by Adolf and Goebbels.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] F-fjord is c-c-cold! S-so our conquest is complete, huh?​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] What's the matter, mein Führer? You don't seem that excited, is something on your mind?​

retia.jpg
[Retia] No, it's just that... Potatoland was Dokutsu territory that we reclaimed. This here is different...​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] It marks the first step on our long and rocky road to complete universal conquest. Mein Führer, we still have the hardest battles ahead of us.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] I know, things are going to get serious. We have won 2 battles so far, both with magnificent results. And yet, those idiots refuse to give us any credit for that. They don't even know how to employ efficient tactics. All they know is how to outnumber their opponent.​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] Looks like they will have plenty of opportunities to learn from us.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Yes. Speaking of which... It's time to begin preparations for our invasion of O'France.​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] O'France? In that case, the Maginot Line could get into our way... It's an impregnable fortification. No fleet could ever pass through it...​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Huhuhu...impregnable you say?​

Retia let out a fearless laugh, while she brushed her hair to the side.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Those who claim that the Maginot Line is impregnable haven't seen our U-Boat prototypes in action.​

[Goebbels] You are full of surprises, Retia. Since you already laid out a plan for the upcoming battle, you should have some free time now, no?​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Uh, don't smirk like that. I have a bad feeling about this...​

Goebbels snapped her fingers and just a moment later a car stopped in front of them. Retia frowned.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Kyaaaaaaa!​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] Here we go! C'mon, c'mon!​

Before Retia could react, Goebbels opened the door and pushed her into the car.​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Goebbels! Let me go, let me go! I have an important act for my Fjord promotion tour tonight!​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] That's right, Retia. And for that you are coming with me. We're going to take lots of new pictures for that promotion... Sexy ones♪​

Goebbels presented a swimsuit with frills, a sailor uniform and a camisole to Retia. But that wasn't all of it. Next was a whole set of multicolored and bizarre costumes.​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] Ah, those are so cute♪ We'll call the photo collection... 『Fantasy Girl Retia in Scandinavia』 Brilliant! And so moe! Everyone will adore you for this!​

retia.jpg
[Retia] ...Actually, now that I think of it we'll need more than just U-Boats. I need to revise our strategy...​

goebbels.jpg
[Goebbels] Hey, Retia! It's time for the photo session, I'm so excited! Let's go!​

retia.jpg
[Retia] Why don't you listen to meeeeeeeeeeeeee?!​

In the end Retia's photo session in Scandinavia dragged on for over a week...​

The Kingdom of O'France, the Royal Palace―

[Defense Minister Vichy] Oui, your Majesty.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] U-uh-uhm... G-good, m-magnifique!​

Louis LXXX, the monarch of the Kingdom of O'France looked pleased.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] S-s-shall we move out then?​

potato.jpg
[Defense Minister Vichy] Oui.​

Louis LXXX staggered towards the door, only his walking cane kept him from falling. Defense Minister Vichy ran to his aid and lent him his support.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] M-merde... I-It's no g-good...​

potato.jpg
[Defense Minister Vichy] Oui...​

O'France defeated Dokutsu during the First Space War by a hair's breadth. However, Dokutsu has disregarded the treaties and now threatens the former victor.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] R-really b-bad... ...it's no good a-at all...​

potato.jpg
[Defense Minister Vichy] Huh?​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] W-war...i-is no good... W-w-we have been p-pacifist... ...s-since we began to r-rule. No...n-n-no...​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] NO MORE WAR! ...

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] ...ugh... *cough* *cough*...​

Louis LXXX's yell dislocated his jaw.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] Ugh...uuuhhhhhhggh!​

He somehow managed to relocate his jaw, using his thin, bony fingers.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] Haaa...​

Louis LXXX resumed their conversation.​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] I s-said... no more w-war. N-no more f-fighting... T-t-the p-p-p-p-p... T-the p-pen is mightier... ...t-than the s-s-sword. R-remember a-all the m-misery during t-the f-First Space War... P-peace is g-good...​

potato.jpg
[Defense Minister Vichy] Sacre bleu ! Your Majesty, we need an army to defend ourse―​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] N-n-no m-more s-soldiers! ...w-weapons b-bring m-misery! *cough* ... W-we...c-can't support w-war, Vichy...!​

potato.jpg
[Defense Minister Vichy] Oui...​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] D-don't be a f-fool... W-we d-don't need another w-war...​

louis.jpg
[Louis LXXX] D-Dokutsu l-lost the last w-war and won't d-dare to attack! If we s-show them t-that w-war isn't n-necessary t-they'll lay d-down their weapons t-too...​

Louis LXXX continued to explain his philosophy of peace as both of them walked down the corridor.​

Looks like stories of the widely renown French courage have reached Japan as well.

And thus ends turn 5.

:bravo:

Took me a few restarts before I reached your level of efficiency with the conquest of Shu. And I think I know where you are going to get the money for further conquest from.

Where's a guillotine when you need one ?

And the Defense Minister's actually called Vichy. That can't be good...

There's no chance this LP will reach completion. We are at the start of the campaign, and there's hella lot out there. It would be a hard LP without translating half of the stuff. As it is - it's impossible.

BTW, I really wish a game like that, but "serious" one appeared someday. There's quite a lot of storyfagy material, decent C&C, and neat gameplay. As it is, it's merely a hentai flick with a few neat ideas thrown together. I wonder what strategy in space games were Alice Soft's inspiration for this title.

I've already transcribed and translated turns 6 and 7. But, yeah. The final 10-15 turns will be teh horror, presuming we even get there. About 1000 edited lines per update (2000-3000 unedited).

You should help in translating this Goddamn game and not waste time LP-ing it.
