Here are the files for another custom nation, this time Imperial China.
I'm assuming a Meiji-like restoration and rejuvenation in China, with Britain holding onto Hong Kong but none of the other treaty ports are taken (well, Macao - but that's not in the game).
China begins very weak - comparable to Japan in budget and dock size but having a friendship with Germany. But China's economy will be on the fast-track to growth and its naval budgets will grow more rapidly after 1906. In my last game, by 1914 I was ahead of France, Russia and Japan, and able to fight the US successfully.
Home areas are Northern Asia and Southern Asia and the principal building area is Northern China.
Unzip the file and put the China, ChinaShipNames and ChinaWarInfo files in the NWS/Rule the Waves/Data directory. The China flag goes in the Flags folder. It's my take on a Chinese Naval Ensign; the gold flag was too hard to see against the tan-colored land so I added a red stripe on the tail for visibility.
My sincere apologies for the ship names - I do not speak Chinese and did the best I could. Battleships are named for people and mountains, battlecruisers for dragons, armored cruisers for provinces, light cruisers for cities, destroyers for mythological creatures. The MS/AMC "Zhuli" is - I think - something like assistant or auxiliary. Since there are several 'accepted' ways to spell Chinese names (Peking/Peiping/Beijing) using the English alphabet, I'm sure there are various ways to spell all of these - and I was not able to be consistent. If anyone knows better, please let me know.
Most of the WarInfo missions are derived from the Japanese with changes to reflect that Russia, Germany and Great Britain no longer have ports on the Yellow Sea. The Japanese missions are adapted from the Britain-v-Japan file.
Please let me know if you find errors or ways this can be improved. All comments welcome.
