    Default RAN no Jidai



    Hello all ,About the Project called Ran no Jidai , Times of Chaos is quite some time that we are working on this .... here is a brief description of the mod.....

    1
    It is a full conversion from BI expansion game based in the time of the Feudal Japan , named Sengoku Jidai ....

    2
    There will not be hoards of units , I am more for few but good than many but repetitive or similar , also this would just confuse players on my opinion...but every unit is highly detailed and historically precise , if you are expert of Japanese warfare , you will be able to recognize every single type of armour or equipment piece ...

    3
    Multiplayer oriented , this means that the multiplayer will be one of the main aspects and gameplay balance will be particularly taken care of ...

    4
    Historicity , all units will be remade in historical way , of which u will be always able to find the sources used and documentated , mainly information taken from osprey books , the several books about uniforms and reconstructions of Japanese era , with the help from several experts on the period...

    5
    New map ,made by BDH will span from northern Japan to the southern island with an incredible level of detail based on real topographical maps ....

    6
    some other scripting will be present ,like four seasons or respawining armies etc...

    The Name is inspired about the purpouse of rewriting history in a time of turmoil for the Japan .....

    7
    New Animations made to depict at the best the Japanese style of fighting ....

    the list of factions is ...

    Kyushu:

    Shimazu
    Otomo


    Shikoku:

    Chosokabe
    Miyoshi

    Honshu:

    Ouchi
    Mori
    Amako
    Urakami
    Hosokawa
    Ashikaga(Senate)
    Asakura
    Oda
    Imagawa
    Takeda
    Hojo
    Satomi
    Asai
    Uesugi
    Mogami
    Date

    rebels(other Daimyos)

    total of 20 factions +rebels
    So there will be big easy Clans and some little clans, very hard to play.


    here is a fine example of the splendid works that are created by Tomte of Doom wich is also our main advisor for historical armour reconstructions ....




    And Finally now some Screenshots of the Game .....





























    We have to also thank the huge work made by Kagemusha in the not as visible but eextremely important work on the text files without wich nothing would be showed here ...her an example of his work....that allowed New videos to be part of the events that will happen during the campaign ....





    Here instead you can admire the splendid map made by BDH that with the help of Wild bill is being adapted to the Sengoku era mod ....you can notice the high precision in the reproduction of the actual Japanese territory ....






    And new Strategical units too of course ...

    Will the mainland have any faction or just be empty territory like northern France on the MTW:VI map?

    Yep...I know several of the ol vets that are very much looking forward to this masterpiece...keep up the great work team!

    I am one of those that loved the old more compact maps like VI and probably won't even fire up RTW again until this is ready, just wish I had any skill sets to help it along, but it looks like the team has it covered.

    One thing I've noticed is that this team has some great dedication...a lot of mods and modders have slowed down or stopped with recent developments but it looks like if anything the great Ran team is doing more and of course Prometheus seems to have the energy of at least 2 or 3 normal modders.

    1) awe no mainland. it would be fun to be able to invade Korea and China, but oh well. still a great mod.

    2)when the map is done can someone release a screen of it so we can see where the Rebels and clans start out?

    Atterdag.You will get your edit button,when you are full member,which should happen soon. About the Most Northern parts of Honshu,those had to be cut out becouse of the land mass water ratio CTD.We had too much water on the map compared to land before the cut.
