Complains about Samurai

[feivel]

AHAHAHH this is redicilous. To say someone has to be a perfect speller to be Shogun is dumb. If you have that requirement, someone who is a perfect speller and knows nothing about being a Shogun or fuedal japan will be chosen as Shogun over someone who isnt the best speller, but knows what he is doing. Furthermore, in fuedal japan the Shogun was the supreme power but the Emperor still had political power and sway over the population. The people thought the emperor was chosen by g-d or some supreme heavenly force, therefore even thought the emperor was effectively locked in his palace and being constantly watched by the Shogun's spies... he still had some influence. And regardless, this is only a game. It isnt unthinkable to have a Shogun and an Emperor who both have power. Its like having a King and a Prime Minister, or a Prime Minister and a president.
In fact there can be a Shogun, Emperor, and Kanpaku (civil dictator.) The Shogun is the supreme force and a military commander, the Emperor is royalty and does royal things, and the Kanpaku deals more directly with the people. In fact in fact (yes i said it twice on purpose so :P) I personally think the best way to go is to also have a senate. The Shogun can give limited power to the senate, and have absolute veto power over the Senate. That way if he WISHES to have a vote he can, but if he deems something necessary regardless of whether or not the senate agrees he can still do it. MMMMK!
