Victoria 3 Patch Fixes Bug Where the Iwakura Mission Could Force the Emperor to Abdicate
A recent patch for the grand strategy game Victoria 3 addressed a bug in which the Iwakura Mission event chain could trigger the immediate abdication of the Emperor of Japan — an unintended 'over-modernization' outcome. The fix was part of a broader set of corrections to Japan-related content in the game. The patch also introduced a historical 'what-if' scenario where, if the Shogunate defeats the Meiji Restoration forces, Western-style clothing is not adopted.
