Daiteikoku

Daiteikoku is the third game in a series of conquest-based simulation games (SLGs) preceded by Daiakuji and Daibanchou, published by AliceSoft.

About
Daiteikoku, literally translating as "big empire", is set as a space-themed epic novel and parody reminiscent of World War II. Players follow the colorful and extensive cast of characters---many of whom are inspired by figures in world history (in a style similar to a certain popular anime)---as they enact the major events which defined the WWII period, alongside a slew of anime-style tropes, hijinks, and amorous interactions with the game's main protagonist.

As a full-fledged eroge, Daiteikoku features several erotic encounters between the protagonist, Tougou Tsuyoshi, and the game's female cast.

Latest Information
The latest content update for Daiteikoku is 1.02, which adds several new features enabling the player to scout enemy forces before invasions, to reconstruct buildings, to begin games with fish ships, to perform emergency repairs, and to create custom admirals. Also included in the game's post-release content are new events and ships.

Incidentally, the fan-driven Daiteikoku English Translation Project was established on June 23, 2011, and had reached 35% completion as of March 10, 2012, which remains the most progressed translation to date. Over the years, a number of translators have attempted to revive the project, but with no published results. The latest fan translation effort was announced on September 2, 2015, three months after English games publisher MangaGamer announced a new partnership with Daiteikoku's original publisher, AliceSoft. Soon after, this lastest effort was cancelled, the result of a post to Fuwanovel by one of MangaGamer's official translators, Arunaru, in which they stated an official localization was possible at some point.

Story Synopsis


Long before the universe united, its many planets were inhabited by small human factions. Nations were established, yet navigation to other regions in the universe—essentially making contact with others—was impossible. Such travels at the time would have required hundreds of years.

However, The Empire of Aeris soon discovered strange bodies scattered throughout the universe. Upon further research, they learned these, hence called "warp gates," enable one to instantly move from one location to another. This advancement allowed many regions, previously isolated from each other, to begin making contact—thus beginning the Age of Discovery.

Over time, major powers were established through conquests, destructions, and submissions. The current universe is the very result of this.

It is now 939 A.D, and conflicts continue. At the summit is The Empire of Aeris, the world's largest nation, still at large due to their warp gate technology. They vow to unite the universe and restore peace to the world. In contrast, The Empire of Japan—the world's oldest nation—is nearly ruined after prolonged wars with The Empire of Chun. But, unable to bear the death of the previous minister and numerous veteran admirals, the Empress (Mikado) takes drastic measures. She appoints Tougou Tsuyoshi, a renowned, unorthodox admiral, in charge of the nation's navy, which must be rebuilt from practically scratch. Mikado has an eye for potential men, and she believes Tougou Tsuyoshi has what it takes to protect The Empire of Japan.
