or also Koichirou in engine terms. I haven't looked closely at the other Japanese leaders yet, but will see if I find any other inconsistencies."Tatibana Koitirou"
This Japanese general should be romanized as Tachibana Koichirō from 立花小一郎. I also noticed that Andō Teibi's ō is romanized as a simple o, so either it should be Koichiro (same sound as in Andō or also Koichirou in engine terms. I haven't looked closely at the other Japanese leaders yet, but will see if I find any other inconsistencies.

Owl, not trying to disagree with you at all but, in 1914 that was how his name was written in Romanjii. I do not know if the Philippes want his name accurate for the time period, or more comfortable to modern Romanjii sensibilities.
As a Chinese speaker i have had worse troubles; for a large portion of my life China was more or less closed to the world so i was still writing romanized Chinese from the early period 1910 ish as opposed to Pinyin! I blame part of that on boardgames. (What do you mean it's not Soochow?!? And where is the city of Canton?)

Even today there isn't really a standard in that sense that if you look inside and outside Japan, you might end up with quite different transcriptions (Hepburn, Nihon-shiki...). It's just that the current usage in the files is not uniform, this also goes for the long o sound, which is either o (probably due to engine limitations) or ou in the names in the game. So I'd unify that to one specific system. Imho, the using Hepburn would make more sense, for example if people wanted to google the leaders to find out more about them.
Did you check the Chinese names? Did everything seem in order? I assume that the old transcription system you used was the one still championed by the RoC until quite recently?
@Soochow: Qīngdǎo is also Tsingtau in the game, though I assume that is because that was the official German name for it during the time.
