Sigh, really? So, none of these countries have spies? Observing how the army, that wields new technology & units, of a obviously expansionist nation, works? It's one thing not to know about Japan, they just showed up, w/ tech 300+ years ahead of anyone else. Parpaldia though? Like, you didn't already know arrows don't work on Earth Dragons and they can breath fire? They have mortors and charging into a set riflemen line is a good way to just die?
