What will become of shogun now hostiles gone. i cannot lead on my own with such skilled moders working on it. I need someone with experience to step up and take the lead becuase it would be a shame for this mod to be lost.

[Hostile]

I should stop short when I say I won't mod anymore, so don't worry I will get you your gaming assets and work on this mod. But at my pace and as a side project.

Actually having not to worry about T3A, I may actually enjoy just this one little project.

[{EoW}Tmistro]

Well that is a relief and im very glad to hear it

[Athena]

Question, for cameos, do you all think I should use the units in action or choose from ancient japanese artwork to display the units cameo?

For sturctures, it would make sense to model use the models, but I was thinking it might be interesting if I can find enough support images for ancient jap artwork.

I like the idea of ancient japanese artwork, are you thinking old-style watercolors of battles? Do you have any examples, or enough basic art to do each unit?

It appears the word daimyo may best be suited as the name of the citadel. Care to construct a Daimyo anyone?

An interesting historical timeline. http://www.wsu.edu:8...AN/TIMELINE.HTM

[Rockon12]

I always thought a daimyo was a guy who taught samurai...could be wrong though.

[|MeMw|KingDuku]

I always thought a daimyo was a guy who taught samurai...could be wrong though.

im pretty sure it is

[Hostile]

It appears the word means many things from a place of command, a school of the arts, and the one who teaches such. Fits to me...

Daimyo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimyo

Daimyo 大名
Literally meaning "big name". In the Tokugawa period, the Daimyo were all the samurai whose revenues were superior to 10,000 koku of rice (or about 50,000 bushels or 1,510,000 liters - one koku of rice is enough to feed one person for one year).

Daimyo had domains with retainers (samurai) onto which they had considerable power. The few hundreds Daimyo domains of the Tokugawa age were reorganized into prefectures in the late 1800's by the Meiji administration.

daimyo, again:
The daimyo were the leaders behind the samurai and the best samurai. The daimyo also gave help in controlling Japan from the early twelfth century until the 1800’s and the end of the samurai. These leaders commanded loyalty among the samurai, partly because most of the daimyo were samurai once themselves. After the samurai had established a place in Japan, the settling into society began in many ways.

[Hostile]

Still fits the name of the citadel/fortress to me for Shogun. "big name" who sits in "big fortress" collecting "big rice".

[Boy_suicide]

Er, if they had 1,510,000 liters worth of rice or above, where do they keep it?
You forgot to say, mustering "big armies". They were the big guys.

[Gumby22don]

what do you mean, "where do they keep it?" -

Remember, it costs big rice, to big population, to keep "big name" in big building.

have a great day
