What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

So GOT season 4 just ended and i'm so dissapointed by kingdom new arc. i thought this is the last year Ryofuji live maybe the author will make the ultimate political arc between the king and his chancellor. but it just battle after battle, so boring....

So i want something like Varys vs Little finger in GOT, i want secret plot, i want assasination, betrayal after betrayal, smart character, greedy character, pragmatis character, mystery, all that awesome shit.

You guys have any suggestion confused

well, plots with political intrigue (I can't guarantee they're anything like GOT, though)

Historie
Heureka if my memory's not mistaken
Shoukoku no Altair
Song of the Long March
Gunka no Balzer - military/politics
Bokura no Kiseki
Liar Game

these are the ones I'd recommend the most, but check out "Strategic minds" tag: http://https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?page=1& category=Strategic+Minds

Strategic Battles: http://https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Stra tegic+Battles

Politics Involving Royalty: http://https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Pol itics+involving+Royalty

Also, if you don't mind BL (or just skip the sex scenes), Feng Yu Jiu Tian (Novel) has an amazing plot (I'm not particularly fond of yaoi, I just enjoy a good story and this one definitely has one of the most interesting plots)

Maybe Tower of God.
Seconding Gunka no Baltzar and Song of the Long March.

For English webcomics, check out Erfworld. It can be confusing because some parts are in comic form, some are in text form, but it has great writing. Start here:

(it changes artists later on so the art improves too)

Another English webcomic: Girl Genius.

Red River - secret plot, assassination, betrayal, smart character, pragmatic character, mystery; I hope you'll like it.

Drops of Dreams, The Golden Birdcage is similar, minus the war hero female lead.
