People talk about Austria-H and Italy as outdated areas, but what of the American Civil War and their tags. The masses yearn for a ACW update, with the leaders having the depth and character-writing of the recent updates of the Chinarreich.

The German Empire will ALSO be renamed in the rework, as part of a concentrated branding measure. Out of the old!

What if Civ 7's ideas of "history in layers", instead of Civ-Switching, had done a more elaborate, spruced-up version of Civ:Rev's rudimentary idea of "each age, you get another incremental bonus" instead?

Probably with more uniques, some of which are for the latter ages, like in 5's VP mod has things like Korea has the Chaebol UB for the Info. Age, Greece has a replacement for the Commando unit, Egypt with the Mamluk UU for the Medieval age, and Arabia has a Light Tank replacement.

Tl;dr if you don't want to look at the google translated sources.

During Zhang Zuolin's rule over Manchuria, he Zhang Xueliang's teacher and a quite powerful military figure under the Fengtian. Despite all that praise, he was still gathering Qing Loyalists under the guise of a poetry club, and he let the Japanese enter Jilin city because he thought they would restore it, and wrote to Puyi to come to Manchuria to fufill the 'plan of revival', to 'restore the Qing and save the people', for the Japanese were aware of Your Majesty's 'high virtue and great benevolence"!

He became a high-ranking figure, a governor of Jilin province and minister of finance, and was demoted to a meaningless rank because his vision of "actually wanting the Qing to be restored" was incompatible with the goals of the Japanese.

He's a 'treacherous', scheming man with a burning, genuine Loyalist ambition, despite indulging in every vice of warlordism, including drinking, gambling, and whoring. If there is a Qing Dynasty path in a future KR rework, even if it's one where it's gone from the map, Xi Qia definitely should be in the forefront of it, he definitely fits the "interesting, obscure leader" part for a LARPy Qing path without giving too many feats to the Manchild, or doing a vanilla thing where he summons 70000 loyalists from the nether.

Hell, now that I think about it, Xi Qia could act with the Germans the same way he did with the Japanese OTL, and hell, they kinda already did restore the Qing per lore, which was exactly what he wanted.
