    What's a republican campaign? Like domination?

    You don't get any political agents when going republican - don't fully understand why but it adds further to the difficulty. You can build the political buildings (secret societies in this case) but no agents...

    That's probably the way to go. I launched my realm divide without drydocks or even frigates, let alone a Warrior/Ocean.

    Nope, it's the choice you get when you get to realm divide -either support the shogun/emperor or break with the past and go a-historic with a republic of Japan. Presumably with your Daimyo as not-so-elected president or just a straight people's dictator.

    Bummer... No ninjas, either, I suppose... How about foreign agents and sabotage?

    You only loose political agents.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Shinobi are trained in Traditional Dojo, so as long as you have them it's all good. Just no rebellion-provoking propagandists. (Republics have their own propaganda building tree but no agents)

    Ouch! The realm divide is a pain!

    I didn't think I'd miss the propaganda agents as much - but they are really handy for making newly conquered provinces become economically productive quickly; and I had to stop taxing most of my lands while my new propaganda buildings slowly built up pro-Republic sympathies. I should really have budgeted more for the Secret Society buildings - I didn't realise I'd need so many!

    I've put mine on pause because it's so tedious and I'm sure I'll run out of time. Took too long to tech up and selected domination. It's still a worthy goal if none of your allies survive and you'll be at war with everyone anyway.

    Mine clanks on - I am pretty much defensive and am not sure how to break out of that. I think I should be able to push out soon, but I really really really mis-timed that realm divide, and spent too long fighting off waves and waves of alliegance-switching jerk neighbours! As the Nagaoka, even before divide, the Edo stabbed me; then just when I thought I could relax a bit, the Odawara stabbed me. I ended up huge! With all that land and some heroic battles I triggered divide far too fast! Next time I think I beeline for Musashi, Sagami, and Kazusa and work from there!

    Is there any way to relocate your capital? Echigo ends up really far away from where I want to end up!
