Chronicles of Heroes: Water Margin

I keep wondering: what if Liangshan had Zhu Gui go overseas to strike it rich? What if the Water Margin's deadweight Du Qian cleared and farmed tens of millions of acres, so they never had to worry about food or money? What if they could build tiger crouching cannons light enough for two men to carry? Would that change how all the heroes and outlaws thought about war? What about when they had cannons cast in red? How would they view warfare then? What would happen if the young men under Shi Jin were like Spartacus? Would it set off a chain reaction? Would Song Jiang fail to achieve his dream of surrendering to the imperial court and die halfway there, consumed by frustration? Heh heh!
