I love stuff like his. Wonder how it was used.

I didn't made those, they were found on chinese, korean and japanese forums. I use the japanese characters for Nobunaga's Ambition : Sphere of Influence.

Looking at Cai Yan, for example, ...

An Article on the Balloon Furor Over Chinese Spy Balloon Leads to a Diplomatic Crisis — New York Times Something—some things—about this are pretty curious to me. It's kind of hilarious for the stigma of an unidentified flying object being identified as a “weather balloon” to now be an object that lo...

This is the full version of the Yoda-like line as it appears in the original Brewitt-Taylor translation: [...] I’m curious what Moss Roberts wrote, and how you would translate it? If memory serves, there are a range of rather Yoda-like—ha, apt—statements like this in the traditional C.H. Brewitt Ta...
