Sengoku Jidai, Japanese interactive History

Sengoku Jidai

https://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3986/mainfi1.jpg

The date is 1560. Since Onin War Japan has been in turmoil. Almost hundred years of internal strife between various Daimyos has left the country in ruins. The weak Ashikaga shogunate has no power over the warring factions and has themselves fallen on the role of puppets for various lords pursuing the power on the central Japan. With the arrival of European traders in 1543. The new gunpowder weapons are changing the image of the traditional Samurai warfare and any worthy Daimyo have been trying to secure these new weapons as much as possible.

Few stronger clans have been able to raise their lands and status, but anything is possible,when a single battle can mean victory or death for any of the contenders for power.
In the Southern Island of Kuyshu. Shimazu Takahisa has been able to secure the provinces of Satsuma and Osumi and is now on the lookout for expansion towards the Northern parts of the island.
In the Northern Kuyshu. Otomo clan lead by Otomo Sorin,has strong position. Their domain includes the provinces of Bungo,Buzen and Chikuzen. It seems its only matter of time when Otomo and Shimazu will clash against eachother in order to find out the true owner of Kuyshu island. But currently Otomo has other enemies to worry about.
After destroying his former masters,the Ouchi Clan in 1555. Mori Motonari,the leader of Mori clan has become master of the Western part of Honshu,the main island of Japan. Mori clan now holds the provinces of Aki,Suo, Nagato and Iwami. His forces have also attacked Kuyshy,endangering the Otomo domain,which have caused war between the two powers.
To the East of the Mori,lies the other power house of Western Japan, mighty Amako clan,lead by Amako Haruhisa. From their capital Gassan Toda, Amako holds the provinces of Izumo, Bingo and Hoki. Two decades a go Haruhisa tryed to annihilate the Mori, but while the odds were 3 to 1 on his favour,the war wasnt succesfull, but there is no doubt that his goal is still clear in his head.
To the South of the lands of Amako and Mori, is another island of Japan, Shikoku.There on the Southern Tosa province, Chosokabe Kunichika has worked long and hard to gain control of the province. While he has been able to consolidate his domain, other factors have gained him a giant of a clan as his neighbour.
Miyoshi clan led by Miyoshi Chokei has effectively crushed their former masters the Hosokawa and while they are based on Shikoku, currently their vast lands conclude large parts of the central Japan and also the Capital Kyoto is under their rule,while the Ashikaga Shogun, Yoshiteru is mere puppet of Miyoshi and their Matsunaga allies. Currently Miyoshi domain includes the provinces of Sanuki and Awa in Shikoku island, the small island of Awaji between the Honshu and Shikoku and Izumi,Settsu and Yamashiro on the main island.
West from Capital,Clan Asai rule the province of Omi. Their leader Hisamasa rules from his capital Odani the turbulent province. The Asai are allied to the Asakura Clan which is their Northern neighbour. Asakura Yoshikage rules the province of Echizen and has committed lot of his efforts on defeating the Ikko Ikki rebels that rule the neighbouring Kaga province.
South of Asai and their allies Asakura. A young ambitious Daimio has united the various branches of his family and has taken control over Owari province. This man is called Oda Nobunaga. Some say that there is a great future for the young Daimyo,but his neighbour Imagawa Clan has other thoughts.
Imagawa Yoshimoto has been dreaming of conquering of Kyoto for a long time. Now he has gathered his men of provinces that are under Imagawa authority and is preparing to fullfill his dream. The provinces of Suruga, Totomi and Mikawa have provided him lots of men,but the stubborn Oda stand between his dreams of conquests and reality. To the North of Imagawa lives another Daimyo with dreams of conquering Japan.
Takeda Shingen has relentlesly campaigned against almost all of his neighbours to largen the Takeda domain. With provinces of Kai and most of Shinano.He is a force to be reckoned with.
To the North Of Takeda Domain is the Clan Uesugi. Relentless enemies of Takeda,lead by Uesugi Kenshin. Kenshin holds the title of Kanto Kanrei and is determined to to take all Kanto under Uesugi power. The current Uesugi domain is largely Echigo and parts of Shinano and Kozuke. In Kozuke the other Clan determined to take the province is the large Hojo clan. The leader of Hojo ,Ujiasy has fought all his life against all directions. In result of that the Hojo domain is the strongest on the Kanto plain. Their provinces are Izu, Sagami, Musashi and the Southern part of Kozuke. They are surrounded by hostile clans,but so far it has been the Hojo taking the lands of their enemies. While Imagawa,Takeda and Uesugi are threatening Hojo from West and North. There are more enemies in the East.Including Satomi and Satake clans.
Satomi clan,lead by Satomi Yoshitaka own the Awai province on the Southern tip of Boso peninsula. They have warred Hojo for decades,trying to stop the advances of Hojo,both on sea and land.
To the North of Satomi on the Eastern coast of Honshu, Satake holds the province of Hitachi. Their leader Satake Yoshiaki has taken Hitachi with multiple wars against multiple opponents. While Hojo is a imminent danger to Satake,there are more threats coming from the North. These threats include Date clan.
Date Harumune owns parts of the large Northern province of Mutsu. He has worked hard to raise the status of his clan that fell deep during the civil war inside the clan not so long a go. With good use of force and diplomacy,the Date has chances to become the rulers of Northern Japan. But without those virtues a destruction in the hands of multiple enemies is very much possible.

provinces/ ownership after Autumn 1563

The name in list means the official owner of the province. A clan will be named as the owner of a province untill its completely conquered. Occupation of parts of province will not effect the owner in this list,only total conquering.

Rules

There will be four seasons per year. Each chapter represents a season. After each chapter i will give options for each Clan for the next chapter. The diplomacy between players will last for one week. After a week the players will submit their answers.
A player can pm other players with their diplomatic offers,with nonplayable Clans pm me. Players can also demand submission to Vassal for other clans or submit themselves if the other player accepts via diplomacy. This means that when submitting the player continues playing the game with limited options under the rule of the player they have submitted to. Also when a player conquers another human players clans last areas,he has the choice to make him vassal or exterminate his clan. If he makes the other player his vassal.The player that has turned into vassal continues playing the game as vassal of the other player with limited options. Decided by the victor,they can continue serving as generals for example fighting campaigns semi independently. If the players Clan is exterminated by the Conquer,he will drop out of the game. Also the loosing player can decide to commit Seppuku, which will result in him dropping out of the game after he has lost all his lands.
When player conquers the whole territory of nonplayable clan he has basicly the same options.To include the Clan in his retainers as vassal or destroy it and give the lands to new lord of his choosing. Vassals can revolt, but as they are only semi independent there is always high risk of getting cought. If the players reach a deal in diplomacy they should make a public announcement about it.If the deal is secret one,all you need to do is for other of the deal makers to pm me about it,so i can take the deal in account. During the second week i will write the new chapter and post it in the end of that week or following weekend. The first playable factions are:

Economy

Each player has the knowledge of the maximum amount of troops he can raise. This is also the indicator of their wealth. Basicly one man= one koku (amount of rise to feed a man for a year). I have thought long and hard about how to solve this and this is how the economy will play out.

For example if you can raise maximum of 20000 men for your army, that means you can alternatively build for the amount of 20000 koku. As Japan is feudal society, the amount of trade is very limited and most income comes from taxing the agriculture.Here are prizes for buildings you can build:

Church/Temple 1000 koku (helps keeping the province happy,converting to other religion).

Teppo factory 10000 Koku (starts construction of your own teppos, first about 100 per season,later cannons etc. and increases its production.)

Castle upgrade 5000 koku (makes you stand sieges longer and betters the training of your men)

The castle sizes are from smallest to largest:

simple
small
medium
large
huge

Simple castle can hold out about 1 year of siege if well supplied, small about 1 and one quarter of year, medium one and half of year, large one and three quarters of a year and huge about two years of siege.

ship for your fleet 100 koku( each ship can carry 100 men.) Annual upkeep for each ship you have is 20 koku.

Each building takes an year to finish,you can build up to 10 ships per season on your coastal provinces.

For example if you can draft 15000 men in maximum, you can start building teppo factory during spring, but after that you only have resources left to maintain army of 5000 untill its completed after an year.

Portuguese and other European traders.

European traders arrive each Spring to Kuyshu. From there they move to Honshu and Shikoku during summer. They carry muskets and cannons as their merchandise,but not enough for all Japan, so depending on the Western Daimyos, the Eatern lords might not get any. Here are the prizes of their products.

musket 10 koku

cannon 500 koku

Wellcome aboard m8!:2thumbsup: Then Uesugi it is.:smash:

MORI!!!

Plz? :sweatdrop:

This looks very interesting - and now I have an excuse to finally learn more about Japanese history ~:). However, I'm worried that my current knowledge of the period (close to none at all :shrug:) will make me unable to participate that well. If I have time to read about the basics of Japanese history of this period in the coming few days before this interactive really starts up, I'd not mind controlling one of the easier factions, unfortunately due to my still lacking knowledge of the period I have still no idea which faction that would be ~:)

I'm very interested. As for a clan, I think i'd like to play Shimazu. However, I might be open to change factions later.

Adding shlin28 as Mori and Derfasciti as Shimazu. I will start writing pm´s to you two gentlemen:bow:

I will pm you additional information about your clan and its neighbours.The warfare during the time of this game is not that different from pike and musket warfare. So pick a clan and find out. Basicly more lands the clan has on the start.Stronger it is.So just read the epilogue carefully and pick one.:smash:

Edit: Updated the rules section a bit.

Official Announcement from Ashikaga Shogunate

Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru has named Miyoshi Chokei as Kanrei (deputy Shogun) and calls for all Shugos of provinces to submit to the authority of Miyoshi Kanrei under Ashikaga Shogun!

(OOC: All playable clans should give out official statements if they will submit under the authority of the Miyoshi or not. Basically this means that those Clans who will submit, will announce that Miyoshi Clan that holds the capital currently is the ruler of Japan. If you want to communicate privately with the Ashikaga Shogun.pm me.)

It would be an Honor to lead the Chosokabe to victory.https://img257.imageshack.us/img257/3904/01jo1.gif

Clan Date has agreed to clan Uesugi's alliance proposal with much enthusiasm!
-Date Termune, Daiymo of clan Date

Darkrankar old friend you can go this through with Chosokabe.You will get extra points for taking the challence.(im drunk)

(Clans,please comment.Will Miyoshi be the ruler of Japan? Declare war or submit to their rule.Or show your lame excuses for supporting Miyoshi or not.Please show your comments.)

We the Uesugi will recognize the Miyoshi as Shoguns, so long as they may be able to claim the title.

Clan Oda doesn't give its support to a Miyoshi rulership.

-Oda Nobunaga

The Date feel that the Miyoshi must... prove their leadership in order to gain our support.

Is it too late to join as Satomi?

The Mori Clan submits to the Miyoshi Shoguns, however should they harm or threaten other clans without good reason, they will not be able to count on us.

Added darkragnar as Chosokabe and greaterkhaan as Satomi. Last Clan available is Satake.:yes:

The Satomi clan feels there is no reason to offer its support to the Miyoshi Shogun. Therefore, we will not.

Clan Shimazu, while offering no ill-will to the Ashikaga's declares that they cannot and will not swear loyalty to such a foreign body. The clan comes first.

The Mori proudly announces our alliance with the Urakami

ah isn't there an Intelligence brief(PM?) that details all intelligence ? like who's my neighbor, whats my strength how many Koku i make or how many Samurai retainers i have ?

or do i have to search all this my self ?

sorry being a noob but im new to these kinds of games.
i just wanted to know before i made an decsion on Miyoshi San.

Takeda thinks these isles need peace, and therefore we offer our support to shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, if he is willing to bring peace and accept the local authority of each clan in their home territories. May he rule our isles wisely and fairly, and put and end to the chaos!

I think Kage was supposed to PM you with the details you need. Perhaps he hasn't gotten around to it just yet.

IMAGAWA supports the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru in his struggle for peace and honor!

Otowa doesn't support th Ashikaga right now, as several things are to be solved first. Then we might change our minds.

Hojo supports the new shogun may he bring peace and stability to the land.

Asai proclaims support for the Shogun. We hope the Shogun can bring stability to the region and unite the clans.

Your trust will not be abused and the peace will be restored.

OOC: I am still reading all the info. On 4th, when all of my exams are over, I will be able to make a more serious and detailed statement. At the same time I am ready to read any proposals you have.

May I Take Satake?

Wellcome Tiberius of the Drake.:2thumbsup: My moving between apartments have turned into a nightmare,but tomorrow evening i should have time to get us all up to date,so we can start the game with full steam. Sorry for keeping some of you waiting.:bow:

No problem kimosabe https://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5633/11pq3.gif

Chapter 1.Spring 1560.

Answers for this chapter will effect untill Summer 1560.

Many things have happened during the early months of 1560. Maybe the most important issue was that Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru named Miyoshi Chokei as Kanrei. The various Clans had different opinions on the Miyoshi Kanrei. While some gave their full support,others denied it outright and there were even rumours about that the declaration of the Ashikaga Shogun was forced by the Miyoshi Clan who have Kyoto under their control.
In the Kuyshu, Shimazu Clan announced alliance with the Mori Clan of Western Honshu. There have been rumours that this treaty was somehow aimed against the Otomo Clan,but the peace announcement between Mori and Otomo didnt support that assumption. Maybe in the future the reasons for this alliance will be revealed. Shimazu Clan didnt swear loyalty to the appointing of Miyoshi Chokei as Kanrei. The Kanrei appointment effected also the neighbours of Shimazu, causing war between Ito and Sagara. The respectfull leaders of the two clans met in february to talk about their mutual intrests and possible defensive cooperation between these clans. But nevertheles after long evening of Sake and tight negotiations,the two Daimyos got into serios argument about the Shoguns announcement. While Ito clans leader Yoshisuke supported the Miyoshi Kanrei. Sagara Yoshiaki refused to give any support to Miyoshi´s cause.The heated argument led to the fact that now Sagara and Ito have mobilized their forces and are ready to wage war any day now.
In the Northern Kyushu Otomo Sorin didnt accept the authority of Miyoshi Chokei. Now that Otomo´s war with Mori is over,there are speculations where Otomo might target their intrest´s next. On the Ryozoji domain in the North Western part of Kyushu,nothing notable happened except that the Clan calmlu declared that they will not accept anyones authority over them currently. This leaves Kuyshu island definately out from the authority of the Ashikaga Shogun and his Miyoshi Kanrei, except the Ito who went even to war about the affair.

On the Western Honshu, Mori has been active on the diplomatic side of affairs. After they announced peace with Otomo and alliance with Shimazu, another announcement was made. Alliance witht the Urakami was made,leaving Amako between the two powers. Mori also declared their support on the new Miyoshi Kanrei. The Amako clan has been silent and also it didnt take any standing on the Ashikaga announcement. Matsuda Clan didnt support Miyoshi Kanrei.As former friends of now perished Hosokawa they are still hostile towards the usurpers of power as they put it. Urakami didnt comment the appointment of the Kanrei at all,while their alliance with Mori could show signs of support. Yamana Clan declared strongly that they feel that Shogun was forced to name Miyoshi Chokei as Kanrei and they wouldnt want to have anything to do with the appointment,which they saw as Miyoshi puppeteering of Shogun. Akamatsu wouldnt give any comments on the announcement.

On the Kinai, Hatano rejected also the appointment of the new Kanrei. As neighbours of Miyoshi, this could mean war. At the province of Wakasa the local Takeda clan(not Legios clan) supported the Miyoshi Kanrei. The Southern Neighbours of Miyoshi the Suzuki that rule Kii province wouldnt comment and sayed that they would be looking carefully how the situation would unfold. The two enemies of Miyoshi from Kwatchi and Yamato Hatakeyma and Tsutsui refused the appointment and declared that their goal would be to free the capital from Miyoshi as soon as possible. The war in Yamato was in stand still during the winter months as the weather made it impossible to accomplish anything significant. Iga Monto didnt say anything on the issue about the Kanrei.

At the Island of Shikoku The retainers of the Ichijo clan rebelled.Currently there is civil war going on on their domain. The Kono clan watches the situation carefully as do Chosokabe. These clans stand on the Kanrei issue is not clear. Miyoshi Chokei himself havent done any new political moves since the appointment. It seems he is concentrating on the ongoing wars and consolidating his power over his domain.

Asai Clan supported its neighbour Miyoshi as Kanrei,while their allies Asakura and Saito didnt comment on the issue. Kaga Monto from Kaga province supported Miyoshi,but the situation in the province with the effects of the war with Asakura made the comments very light. Hatakeyama of Noto refused the Miyoshi in support of their Kwatchi province relatives. Shiina and Jinbo clans of Etchu were too deep in their war to give out any announcements over the issue. Anekagoji of Hida didnt make any statement on the issue.

Kitabatake and Oda outright refused the new Kanrei. It seems that Oda has more worries then the Miyoshi Kanrei as the Alliance between Hojo,Takeda and Imagawa seems stronger then ever.All three supported the Miyoshi on the Kanrei issue. Also another long war ended,when Uesugi and Takeda made a peace and by that separating the control of Shinano province between the two.

Uesugi declared support to Miyoshi Kanrei. They also announced an alliance with the Ashina and Date. Also the ongoing war in Etchu may have caught their attention. Ashina rejected the Miyoshi as did Date. Hatakeyama of Southern Dewa joined them on the issue while otherwise the war between Ashina and Hatakeyama continued. Mogami didnt comment in any way. There was no word from the most Northern clans on the issue.

On the East, Utsinomiya and Yuki didnt support Miyshi Kanrei.The standings of Satake and Satomi are unknown currently. As the Winter is turning into Spring,there are many intresting developments going on and many clans need to plan well what to do when the spring comes and the war season starts.

Options of the clans for the Spring

The options are here just to give out direction what to do.If you have plans that are not issued by the options tell me about your plans on your answering pm.From this day onward you have week for diplomacy and answering your options for the next chapter. Try to include all your diplomacy towards the nonplayable factions on a single pm so my pm box wont get too full,too quickly.:yes:


Shimazu

Kagemusha-San!
Great chapter, and a big one. :bow:

Could you please explain what exactly having a certain faction as a vassal does though?

Nice opening to what I believe will be a great interactive! :smash:

I think that depends on the arrangement with your "protector" :stwshame:

Yes, if you're a vassal of Takeda, you get all the saké you can drink for free :barrel:

Great chapter, Kagemusha-san! Very interesting and a good kick-off to this IH!
Takeda, send some sake as a sample and the Date may consider~:cheers:

May I take Yuki?

Great start Kagemusha. Now are we going to post are actions in this thread or in a new one?


EDIT:Nvm

(OOC:This is abit delayed and im srry about double post.)

The Satake clan does not see a fit reason why to support the new deputy shogun and therfore will not submit.

Very good Kage, very good.

Declaration of Kanrei

We would like to announce that the new religion called Christianity is incompatible with the traditions and customs of our lands! I ask the Daimyo, loyal to their Shogun and Emperor, to preserve the traditions of our country!

( Declare your attitude to the new religion! )

Miyoshi Chokei,
Kanrei, Defender of our true religion
P.S. OOC: Great, Kage!!!!!!!

I am glad to see that the Kansei is respecting and defending our old and time-tested traditions.

Imagawa Yoshimoto

The tradition and customs of Japan will never become old, my friend.

OOC: Great chapter!

IC: The people of Mori proudly announces that their mighty Daimyo, had recieve the title of Mori Motonari the Peaceful Diplomat! People of Mori rejoice!

On a more serious note, the Clan Mori supports the Shogunate on the orders to suppress Christanity, the old ways shall prevail!

From Takeda

Takeda is curious - what is this thing called Christianity? Can you eat it? Can you drink it? Or is it a new type of weapon?
