Yes, there are a few mods that tone down the realm divide event to not be a complete diplomacy breaker. Like i said, most of Japan will still declare war, but in this way any vassals or (very) good relation allies you've made will have a better chance of sticking with you.

What mod is this? I'd really love from some stronger alliances to last more than half way through the game =p

On a sidenote, I read those AARs of yours, they are pretty interesting and inspiring reads =)

Many of the major mods now incorporate changes to the RD event by default. I know Darthmod completely changes it for example.

The standard, standalone RD mod can be found here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=436082 - which changes the RD to be a small relations hit (-55 relations) that slowly goes away as time goes by. Mods like this wont prevent clans from declaring war, but they are more than enough to ensure vassals/allies will stay on your side, provided your relations are high enough.

Its always nice to hear people enjoyed them. Shogun 2 is the first TW game in a very long time to inspire some fun narratives for me. If you let yourself get immersed into the atmosphere of the game, it can really shock you in how deeply you're trying to keep certain generals alive, or wary of certain enemies. As an example, my recent Hojo campaign featured a number of heroes who rose to prominence against the Oda clan. When i went to war with the Takeda, many of those heroes died. By the time Realm divide hit, most of my greatest heroes might've been gone, but a new generation was taking their place as the fighting became heavier.

I'm thinking about doing another AAR leading up to the next expansion. Should be fun provided inspiration hits
