Okita is shit tier.
Saito Hajime is more deserving of a game.

That's can be Soji Okita. In the anime he is an effeminate bishounen.

Just imagine

an RTS where the entire campaign is the pillaging and burning of the homes of the traitorous southerners.

Then, modders would create alternate history campaigns of Sherman razing other southern states to the ground, as he should have.

>>376869827
Saito being a super tall Japanese guy besides Okita being a presumably average young adult I imagine made an intimidating team.

>>376871107
As much as I like Sherman, he gets a bit of a overinflated reputation since the southerners didn't want to admit post war that standard operating procedure when dealing with him was to light all the cotton on fire and run away as fast as they could.
They had this silly notion that the war was about cotton and not about the destruction of the aristocracy by taking away their slave labor.

>>376871139
They were actually the same age, and I don't think he was really that tall. Okita is just younger in popular depictions because he died.

I find the Protestant Reformation super interesting. Imagine a Phoenix Wright, mixed with strategy game, where you alternate between theological debates, balancing political relationships with various states within the HRE, managing your home church, and releasing tracts about certain topics at just the right time. So many factions. Anabaptists, Lutherans, Calvinists, Muntzer, Catholics, etc.

I'm just picturing this big flashy debate between Zwingli and Luther, Butzer as judge, over the nature of the Eucharist. Marburg Colloquoy basically. You have to defend transubstantiation, pulling upon specific scriptures. Then, after failing, releasing a tract bashing Zwingli not so subtly, and then tweaking your translation of the bible to support it, before strongly enforcing transubstantiation in Wittenberg.

>>376884169

Honestly, most actually interesting historical figures would be blessed to never appear in a video game. The probable politicizing and projection of modern values onto the past by ignorant game writers would never allow a studio to do them justice.

Japanese or Euros might be able to do it correctly, actually, but I have no faith in American developers.

He was a better general than a leader. However, he wasn't necessarily a bad President. A lesser President wouldn't have been able to steer the ship through the turbulent 1780's and 1790's.

The Whisky Rebellion could've been avoided, but that wasn't Washington's fault. It was the fault of the Articles of Confederation making the nation so weak to begin with. We had to build up some steam, and that's exactly what Washington did.

The Germans couldn't beat them though. Try as they might, they never reached Paris (that one gun that had a range so long they had to use the earth's rotation in firing calculations aside). You could say the Brits helped but really most British help came from naval power and supply lines because Britain never had a particularly big land army, their strength was having the most powerful navy in the world.

And America didn't show up until 1917.
