Our Samurai Warlords Team is constantly working on improving the mod.
We also play regularly Multiplayer as well as single player.

Our interest is still very high, not only in the depiction of the Sengoku period but mainly in improving the gameplay. The campaign we've in the beta_7 version is regarded as very challenging and the Multiplayer stats and graphics try to make the best out of the M:TW/VI engine. Most players are more than satisfied.
Neither Rome, nor the upcoming M2:TW will change that because of the flaws of the engines. (Considering M2:TW we can only speculate of course but it seems that speeds and combat modifiers which are in MTW will not all make it into M2:TW)

Our latest experiment is to import the original Shogun texture tiles. It works nicely in campaign mode and provides excellent maps, combined with the original Japanes models.
In MP we're still suffering some problems with those textures but we'll eventually fix that, too.
