A couple questions.
How are leader deaths handled? Do we decide when we want our monarchs do to, or do they just at random? That said, what about assassinations? It's widely believed that the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor were assassinated, but how will that work in-game? Will that still happen, or can that be avoided (or hastened) if certain conditions are in place?
The next question is if the European Powers do supply the Beiyang Army, I would get an Equipment bonus, right? That said, how many of you actually did put something like that in your war order as per Yuan Shikai's request?
