In other words there should be Civil War in Kusari. Kishiro and Samura are rivals and I don't believe they both would support KNF in the same time. I still wonder however who Hogosha would join in such scenario: Republic or the Exiles... Heck, in old days (as I remember and played just a few weeks then had hiatus back two years ago), it seemed that Hogosha was silently dealing with Kishiro on behalf of Samura.
What is after introducing the great Kusari Civil War? The hell, we have now THREE if not four (GC) forces whose have different view onto the future leadership in Kusari: The Shogunate (Dragons), The Empire (Exiles) and of course The Republic (nowadays Kusari and KNF). Another reason for that would be scenario, if Republic of Kusari was to join the Gallia. I would even think out of the forced alliance between Blood Dragons and Kusari Exiles because of that reason. You know, "enemy of my enemy is my friend." And Dragons aren't enemies to the BAF either, I mean, because they have little to zero chance of meeting.
In addition, getting back to Hogosha, I believe that Hogosha would be really unhappy about one thing with Gallia as new ally of KNF/RoK: Gallic Junkers.
Possible alliances during the Kusari Civil War that might happen: Alliance of Gallia:
- Kingdom of Gallia
- Kusari Naval Fleet
- Kishiro
- Samura (officially)
- Hogosha (officially)
