The Day of Thunder

Meeting the three proto-European civilizations require either passing through every other nascent civilization or developing ships capable of long distance sailing on the open ocean. And all the associated tech to do so.

Which would technically benefit the Lion navy...

Which kinda proves it does not make sense What are you talking about? One of the genre defining works of steampunk ( The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling) has clockwork super computers and steampowered racecars. The precursors of the genre include stuff like space-travel ( Fro...

Incidentally curiously searching for steam powered motorcycle did end with me finding this:

Steampunk is pretty much anything just with more brass and a boiler. The genre has steampowered airships that have the force projection of modern supercarriers, putting a tiny boiler or just a pressurized vessel on a penny-farthing is well with in the realm of possibility.

Makime returns the bow with a nod, "Good luck with your endeavors Ryoshun-san. ----------------------------- https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png Ayano bowed deeper then her mother, "May the strength of Bishamon protect you and Daikoku's blessing bring fortune to your endeavors." She retrieved the cup an...

"No, once everything is finished here, I intend to return back to Shiro Makime." The daimyo responded. "And from there to Lord Akodo to return Akodo Kenji's swords and tell him of the events at the village." ---------------------------------------- https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png "Thank you for all ...

I agree with the other sentiments. Take care of your health first and then worry about game stuff, when you are good and ready to.

I am under the impression the Three Rivers Alliance is more an economic/trade association whose limited military component is basically just to protect the said trade and the rivers. With the retirement of Makime in the next decade or so, Ayano will probably shift the Makime family more toward trade...

"Yes," Makime nodded, feeling a sort of weariness return. "We have to get all this mess cleaned up, hunt down what remains of the enemy, and likely prepare to move the villagers away from here." ------------------------------- https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png "Such things are already underway Mo...La...

Both of mine are in infrastructure. One Empire wide and the other localized in the Lion

A lot of Makime's personality starts with Ayano. She was a bit more lax in Dawn 1. Going back I checked her age and wondered what would happen if a 19-20 year old was suddenly put in charge of a bunch of people who were her elders. Her only real qualifications being she had a sort of natural talent ...

Thanks for letting me have the chance to play Makime again. And especially for indulging in my desire to have a little sappy mother-daughter reconciliation.

"I believe I will live the Spirits to others." Makime took a sip of her tea, "I have had my fill of such things." -------------------- https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png Ayano, who was preparing to offer Nao more tea, blinked and looked at her mother with confusion. Rare indeed was a problem Makime was...

I think I have one more thread in me if anyone wants to poke Makime and/or Ayano

"I can leave some of my guard here until your clan mates arrive." Makime replied. "The Emperor is likely to want this place cordoned and sealed off. It would be the wise course until we know if any of Jigoku's minions still linger." ------------------------- https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png Ayano smi...

The fourth member of out Triumvirate! Or something.

The other 'cold' daimyo, curious what Otaku though of being pulled into an impromptu war council

https://i.imgur.com/7oij9Od.png Ayano spoke first this time, "I do not believe many would take the opposite view on battle. Given the recent events. It seems the time to rebuild and count the losses." -------------------------- Makime crossed her arms and looked at the map, "I doubt anyone would ha...

Matsu! The imposing will of iron and Mistress of Anti-Demonfuckery among the daimyo!

If Makime and Otaku were the ice of the group, you and Anjing were definitely the fire.

Makime! With her you could feel the lion. I really enjoyed her scenes and her approach. It made for a really strong contrast with many of the other characters. If she’d had an army that village would have been on lock within the day. Do you think the events in the village which change her approach ...
