I still don't see the point, that's pretty imbalanced if players and ONLY players can cripple their enemies and giving this tool to the AI is like asking for disaster. I don't know, in Gekokujo, with Great Lord Satake and alike, lordship feels more like profession, carried by people of certain clan/family or even their representatives rather than single person, so their "immortality" feels more natural than in native.

It´s not like the player can capture 3 or 4 lords and kill the lot of them. Well, he can, but his own faction would turn against him along with all the others, every lord would be against him. That means no income outside selling stuff, having to sneak to get inside a town or castle, being hunted like a rabid dog by everybody in Japan, no quests... I´d say it´s pretty balanced that way.Do not look here said:
I'm not adding this feature in 3.0 but the way I was going to try it was to have the lord's appearance, stats, and personality rerolled somehow (is appearance even possible? i haven't checked) and have them return after a month or so as the successor of the previous lord. other lords would be made to sometimes execute their prisoners or force them to commit seppuku (except for you, of course)
there wouldn't have been much difference to the way it is now, basically, except for the wait. it would have been mostly for immersion -- the sengoku samurai would be made out to be more bloodthirsty than the calradian aristocracy

You could do it for you too. Basically, if you are beaten in a battle then certain parameter checks are run, in terms of your honour level, the other lord's honour level, your relationship, your RtR, your renown, etc. The higher any of those, the lower the chance you are 'executed'. If you are, you take a minor hit to stats (and with experience adjusted accordingly so you get the chance to earn them back), money, renown, RtR. If you choose to surrender in the pre-battle talks, then there's no chance you'll be executed, so if you're facing a dishonourable lord who hates you then that's a viable option. Something along those lines? Maybe something about faction relations e.g. the other faction takes a big hit with your faction and there's a much lower chance that they will peace out if they are 'avenging' you.
It's not something for 3.0, maybe not even for 3.1, but instead of having the player be an unexplained exception, you could actually work the player into the feature and use it to enhance strategic considerations.

You should add the sound and smoke mod from with fire and sword.
That doesn't work with warband.

Could you still just use the sounds and effects themselves? they use the same format I assume

When I asked about the micro factions, I literally meant, what are the micro factions?
an Ainu alliance?
Company of European mercenaries?
Ninjas/Shinobis?
Different groups of Ronin?
Anachronistic Yakuza?
Also, I don't think I was answered when I asked if Phlpp ever considered expanding Gekokujo to Okinawa and Korea basically turning the mod into an Imjin mod.

i already added new gun sounds and better gunsmoke, but i didn't use fire and sword's. i'm not sure i'd be allowed to, if i wanted to do it.MileHighGuy said:
anyway, progress on microfactions is as follows:
75% or so of the functionality is in. you can visit the forts, their garrisons refresh, you use cheats to conquer or suppress them, suppressed forts return after 10+ days, and so on. you just can't properly besiege them, there are no walkers, you can't talk to the NPCs, and you can't recruit or produce, but adding those parts are easy (adding everything is easy, but once again there's a difference between difficulty and tediousness)
half the fort scenes are mostly done. the only scenes i haven't started on yet are the ainu villages -- that ought to be relatively simple. if i'm feeling lazy i'll just grab a nord village from native and swap the huts
it's april and i'd intended to release mid-january. this is nuts, i want this done already
microfactions are a misnomer, since they aren't actually factions. they are independent settlements (which i call forts) scattered throughout the map. they don't interact with the regular factions, except through bandit partiesKadoken said:
they generate bandit parties kind of like hideouts, but are permanent. you can raid them and suppress them so they stop generating bandits temporarily, or you can conquer them like a castle. they're kind of halfway between a castle and a hideout, and that's why i call them forts. their garrisons are smaller (40% of a castle's, and a castle's garrison is 40% of a town's). if you own one, you gain a modest income from them. you can also recruit special types of troops for free -or- you can produce trade goods. you can only conquer a small number of forts based on your leadership skill
they're supposed to be a mid-game hook that bridges the gap between hunting bandits/doing quests and being a proper vassal/going to war. right now, as far as forts go, there are 2 temples, 2 minor samurai castles, and 2 ainu villages. i might add 2 pirate fortresses, but probably not (the pirate troop types are awful and don't fit unless i create new sets of armor, which i am definitely not gonna do).
and no, this is not going to be an imjin war mod

Thank you for the update.
Even if you have overshot your intended release date, what speaks volumes is that the interest has not wavered a bit since January. So, thanks and I am for some copy/paste (swap huts from native scene) because you more than earned some smart work (lazy is such a hard word, I heard a story about woodcutters before WW2 in Germany and they had a saying "rather be lazy and smart and make the job with less effort, than dumb and a workhorse").
What do you think, do you want to make a break after you release it to recharge your batteries? Or is working on the mod your "taking a break"?

I believe you can, just need to ask their permission. Yifeng_konjac did it for 16th century

Maybe I didn't understand you because my bad english
but，this is the part of the message
I know I am dragging up an old post, but isn't this the permission from With Fire and Sword that was needed? it was Snow Bird that made wfas wasn't it? Because im pretty sure they did.
yes，the first email send to my friend Zhudi，so I only have the second email.
but this is the first email，I copy it.
Hello,
my name is Alexander Souslov, I'm a producer of Snowbird Game Studios, the developer of WFAS. As far as you distribute you mod for free, you have no problem using our content. So please do not be confused with these comments at the forum - definitely you can use models from Warband or WFAS or any other game.
By the way, we now lucking for a chance to release our next game - Caribbean! - in China. May you please tell us, is there any market in China for box version for PC-games? Or a piracy is an absolute power?
Regards,
Alexander
