Well, I am planning to make a mapgame where Song China industrialises in the 14th century due to the acquisition of the Northern Jin dynasty, bringing it closer to coal deposits that it lacked during its "proto-industrialisation" (during which modern institutions were adopted and China emerged as the most advanced and wealthiest economy, though the Mongol invasions got rid of these advancements). Could anyone think of a POD where this could happen?
