This is an upload from my first attempt at putting out content. I did it in live broadcast mode, and my bit rate isn't great, so there is some fuzzyness and small artifacts on the screen now and then. Since then, I've boosted the audio and started recording my desktop and then uploading. The quality has increased and I hope you'll stick with me!

Dickie sent me, and you're right its very nice of him to introduce us to new content creators. A couple of things, Japan's undeveloped shipbuilding industry mean it takes longer to build ships so, for example, while Britain might build a new battleship in 24 months you're probably looking at more like 36. Secondly, I'd strongly advise you to put research in machinery development to high for that sweet sweet coal fired turbine technology. Japan bought a class of destroyer from Britain in 1900 that had two torpedo tubes and could do 30 knots which played havoc with the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Don't forget you can get foreign nations to build ships for you if you want something bigger than what you can build yourself. Even a single British built battleship of, say, 15,000 tons armed with 13" guns and capable of 19 knots will completely turn the tide against China. Unless you get it torpedoed...ask me how i know! LOL

lol I worry so much about investing big into an early battleship, just to lose it. I had no idea my undeveloped shipbuilding came with that sort of cost, that is something to keep in mind for sure as I get further into the timeline and things take longer and longer to build. :(

i have come across from RvT wargames, and I am looking forward to watching your content.

Thank you so much! RvT is so generous to use his voice to promote smaller channels, I hope you'll stay with me. This first video has some artifacts/fuzzyness due to being a live stream instead of an upload. I've corrected that starting in episode 2. Around episode 3 or 4, I also boosted my audio volume, my apologies for any issues with this episode.
