Siam: Total War

[LadyAnn]

Some historical dates concerning the the Vietnamese side:
Le Dynasty 1428 (end of Ming occupation of Vietnam) to 1788 (Qing invasion of Vietnam).
Siam-Viet conflict of 1780 (naval battle on the Mekong).
Nguyen Tay-Son Dynasty 1788 to 1802.
Nguyen Dynasty 1802-1945.

The distinction is important if you consider Siam-Viet relation. During the Le Dynasty, Viet expanded South and ended the Kingdom of Champa, bringing Viet closer to Siam. Siam-Viet relation was mostly through extending each influence over Laos. The later part of Le Dynasty had Civil War between many factions.

While technically under Le Dynasty, the Siam-Viet conflict over Cambodia was fought by Nguyen Tay-Son faction. Siam (lead by King P'ya Taksin) backed the founder of Nguyen Dynasty (Nguyen Anh, head of the Nguyen Faction) fought with Tay Son (lead by Nguyen Hue) in 1780. A revolt in 1782 ended P'ya Taksin and Nguyen Tay-Son faction was busy fighting other factions and the Qing army, so both sides were not able to escalate the conflict further.

During the first part of the Nguyen Dynasty (from 1802 to 1858), Viet consolidated their gains over Cambodia: the Lower Cambodia became Viet provinces, the upper Cambodia became a Viet protectorate.

Itll be handled like an in-game event, with a message for all factions and the British and Qing Chinese going to war with one another. The AI will then proceed to carry out the actions and events in the war as historically accurate as possible. The majority of it will be naval battles, the British iron clads against the Chinese Junks. If you play as the Chinese or the British then you can take steps to avoid the war. This goes in with the concept that you steer your faction however you want, and the AI will go along a set path unless you interfere.

I like the idea a lot but I have to be picky & say that the title ain't
that catchy, I think it maybe should be changed, but good luck on
mod anyway, I still haven't been able to get the equipment to mod..
