>Chinese Have you perchance considered actively participating in the ceasing of all your bodily functions through means such as (but not limited to) pressing the trigger on a loaded shotgun aimed directly between your eyes?
>Joachim Murat is the only one who looks even remotely historical Why?
No, let's ask the more important question >Glorifying the French Revolution >China WHY? The French Revolution was (even according to Marx himself) the epitome of a bourgeois revolution. They're were all about the free market and replacing the aristocracy of birth with an aristocracy of wealth. Why the hell would a communist country glorify it?
Also >1796 >Marie-Antoinette >Lafayette Marie-Antoinette was executed three years ago and Lafayette had become a non-factor, having implodes his political career by siding with the royals to such an extent he actually ordered shooting into Parisian crowds. Why are they still around? Why not have the game take place in 1789 if you want to keep them around? Or 1792 at latest?
I'm an uncult swine when we refer to this chinkgame,but there may be a possibility that the games starts in the 1780 and it progresses all the way into 1810s? >China >Communist They were,now they've adapted

>Pauline Bonaparte >more gender-bent 2D historical figures Hmmm - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Bonaparte - аctually, she is the real sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, but unlike our history in the game world, she became a soldier, not a lady
It still doesn't undermine that we need more gender-bent 2D historical characters though >Napoleon had 12 brothers this surprised me but then i remember that people back in the day died quickly
Your butthurt is more off-topic than Manwha, Manhua and related media are. Moot mentioned they're fine, though I believe the rules page should be updated in regards to manwha and manhua (in the same way it explicitly excludes visual novels and western comics from the board's contents, but allows for live action discussion in as far as it relates to a manga/anime IP).

>It still doesn't undermine that we need more gender-bent 2D historical characters though But why? In the history there are plenty of female warriors who left their mark on the chronicles and legends, not to mention celebrities like Joan of Arc... With a competent approach to writing the plot, if you are not a shit from the UFO-Table, and the need to turn men into women you should not arise...

The hell is this thread doing on Yea Forums? Do you posted on the wrong board or something? I don't even understand what are you trying to say with your broken english. What with your inferiority complex toward japan?

It's just another chink shill farm employee that the mods are protecting.

how many arrogant young mistresses were courting death in that game?

after reading an assload of Chinese novels I can say for certain that Chinese fucking hate communism more than capitalist countries (they just can't say it out loud)

I'm not familiar much with French history but who were the real bad guys? The royalist or the revolutionaries?

>broken english I would be happy to write in my own language, but the local Anglo immediately begin to squeal...
>inferiority complex toward japan? What are you talking about? I just tried to say that I would read with interest and pleasure a manga / short story in the style of "Youjo Senki" about the adventures of a young female officer during the time of the French Empire.
And the game "Banner of the Maiden" is simply given as an example (at the same time revealed some of the racists)
I'll give you a quick rundown though. >1783 >America's independence is officially recognized by Britain in the Treaty of Paris >Britain and France are both on the verge of bankrupcy >Britain recovers >France does not because its entire taxation system is rotten to the core
>1789 >The king calls together the Three Estates (it's equivalent of parliament.... sort of) to discuss tax reforms >Big deal considering they haven't been called to convene since Louis XIV went full absolutism a bit under a century ago >The Three Estates are the First Estate (Clergy), Second Estate (Nobles) and Third Estate (Commoners, including wealthy commoners like lawyers, clerks, bankers and merchants) >The First and Second Estate (representing about 10% of the population combined) want to vote per estate (allowing them to overrule the commons, kind of like how in Britain the House of Lords can overrule the House of Commons), the Third Estate wants to vote per head (which would give them an overwhelming numerical advantage) >King sides with the First and Second Estates, some representatives from the Third Estate leave and swear that they will not rest until France has a constitution (Tennis Coart Oath) >They get angry, storm the Bastille, arm themselves with the weapon stored there and tell the king to sign a constitution or else
>1791 >Constitution is signed: the king is effectively President-for-Life, the legislative Assembly counterbalances him, the privileges of the nobility and clergy are legally abolished >The Duke of Brunswick (one of the biggest bois among the German states) threatens that he will invade France (with his allies) unless they abolish the constitution >The Assembly wants to raise a National Guard and tax the clergy's temporal possessions (which doesn't mean churches and convents, it means entire villages and farms they possessed) in order to create a force to fight the Duke of Brunswick >The King veto's everything
>1792 >It's clear that France is fucked >The Assembly tries to draft an alternative 1793 constitution that will limit the power of the king, allowing the Assembly to raise an army and reform tax law behind his back >Meanwhile something called the "armoire de fer" is discovered, an iron chest containing the king's correspondence with outside powers (including the Austrian archduke, his father-in-law) >Not much later the king has escaped from his court and is later on spotted near Varennes, on the South-Eastern border of France (and therefore the fastest route to Austria) >The king is arrested, found guilty of treason and executed as "the citizen Louis Capet" alongside his wife. His children are held in custody (the son dies of tuberculosis, the daughter would be extradited to Austria in 1795)
>1793 >Oh shit Brunswick AND Austria AND England AND the Netherlands and like half of Europe is attacking France all at the same time >To make things worse exciled members of the royal family have (with English and Austrian support) raised royalist armies in Western France, Toulon (south) and some other parts of the country >State of Emergency is declared, constitution temporarily suspended, Robespierre put in charge of everything >Ha ha ha! Time for the guillotine! >Admittedly the Committee for Public Safety played fast and loose with burden of proof but... y'know.. the whole country being on the verge of collapse and all >Fear and paranoia but at least the country isn't collapsing
>1794 >Two big military victories, Valmy and Fleurus, mean the threat of a German invasion are -for the foreseeable future- quenched >This leads to Robespierre being ousted and executed, which leads to the "Thermidorian Reaction" (where more moderate politicians take over) >Meanwhile Napoleon is kicking booty in Italy as part of a counter-offensive against the Coalition
>1799 >Holy shit this war is expensive and exhausting >Nobody likes constantly being at war for almost a decade >The Republican government can't agree on ANYTHING, leading to a total deadlock that makes them incapable of solving anything >Napoleon, having become incredibly popular with his brilliant military victories, just walks in and says "I run this shit now" (not even kidding) >This "soft coup" makes Napoleon Dictator For Life (gee, where have I heard that title before???) >Arranges peace in 1801/1802, everybody loves him and the Revolution is saved... or is it?
>1803/1804 >The coalition declares war again, because fuck peace and fuck Napoleon >Napoleon crowns himself emperor through referendum (meaning he's kind of a king, but at the same time rejects the "divine right" doctrine. This is important, as it means he (begrudgingly) is acceptable to royalists and republicans alike) [Napoleonic Wars, you know the drill]
>1815 >The Bourbons return, but on the condition that they accept the "Charter of 1814" >The Charter is basically a constitution that guarantees all the Revolutionary laws, constitutions and Napoleon's meritocratic administrative bodies and codes >However the Charter is considered a "gift" from the king, a "gift" that can be repealed at any given moment
>1830 >King Charles X tries repealing the Charter >It... doesn't go well >He has to flee the country, is replaced by Louis-Philippe from a cadet branch
>1848 >Louis-Philippe tries more or less the same >HAHA TIME FOR FRENCH REVOLUTION PART 2 >He also has to flee the country >Louis-Napoleon (Napoleon's nephew and legal successor, considering Napoleon's son died young and childless) is elected president >Four years later he's declared emperor, again through referendum (Napoleon III) >Everything is... pretty sweet. There's universal suffrage, great degree of liberal reform et cetera
>1871 >Pr*ssia happens >Napoleon III forced to abdicate >Republic
>Two world wars >One world cup >Present day That's the past 200 or so years of French history in a nutshell.
So who's the "bad guy" here? I'll leave that to you. Louis XVI ruined everything, he should've just seen that the writing's on the wall and accepted what power he had rather than selling out the country Robespierre is a convenient "this is your country on democracy" scapegoat. While the Terror was horrible, I honestly believe it was the best way to keep the republic from rolling over and all liberal reforms from being reversed, just to have everything return to absolutism Napoleon was a dirty opportunist, but then again he was so brilliant that it's understandable so many people genuinely believed eh was the only one who could save the country. He did push through some bretty gud reforms though so I can forgive him. Napoleon III was mediocre. Could've been better, could've been worse
