  • Each agent type has a unique Quest
  • Each Faction’s agent has a unique Quest
  • Quests start 1 turn after recruiting an agent
  • Once a Quest is started by an agent, it has to be finished by the same agent
  • If your agent is killed during a Quest then you fail
  • Gain special rewards for completing a Quest chain





Boss Type Game-play
  • A Boss fight will take place when trying to capture a major faction’s stronghold
  • Major faction strongholds are indicated with an interpunct ·Stronghold·
  • A supporting army will spawn containing the Legendary unit attached to that stronghold
  • The supporting army gets stronger as the faction that owns it gets stronger
  • You will not be able to save your game or night attack
  • Kyoto will spawn an army full of Legendary units you have not defeated
  • If you capture all 12 strongholds first then Kyoto will not spawn additional units

13 Legendary Units
  • Legendary units will always garrison their stronghold
  • Recruit a Legendary unit by capturing it’s stronghold & meeting the tech requirement
  • You can only recruit each specific legendary once per game
  • The AI can also only get them one time with the same rules as the player
  • Legendary units are super expensive to maintain, you won’t be able to keep them all
  • I recommend trying them out in custom battle before you start a campaign

  • S class: Mikawa Boom Ninja, The Rising Sun(Kyoto)
  • A class: Izu Mortar Team, Tosa Yumi Champions, Kai Swift Cavalry
  • B class: Echizen Fabled Ronin, Aki Ruthless Raiders(GIF below), Iga Dread Ninja
  • C class: Iwate Ferocious No-Dachi, Echigo Endurance Monks, Bungo Wheellocks
  • D class: Owari Unwavering Yari, Satsuma Veteran Samurai


Scripted Seasonal Effects
  • Effects change every 3 turns
  • Since this is scripted, there is no pop-up every season
  • You can see the seasonal effects in the Clan Summary window
  • The AI also receives the same effects

  • Spring: +1 Happiness Faction-wide, +1 Growth Faction-wide, -10% Construction costs
  • Summer: No artillery movement penalty, -10% Recruitment costs, +4 morale in battle
  • Autumn: +10% Farm income, +10% Ammo in battle, +10% Trade resources
  • Winter: Major movement reduction in battle & in campaign, -20 Accuracy in battle

Faction Specific Influence
  • Each faction has their own influence
  • One province can be influenced by many factions at once
  • Major factions get special buildings that spread their influence
  • Generals, geisha & monks can help the spread of your influence


Power Level
  • Power level increases as you expand
  • Each province you capture adds to your power level
  • The higher level castles in your provinces add to your power level
  • As your power level increases, so does the upkeep for your armies & navies


Economy, Food & Trade
  • Multiple buildings added for player to balance food, money & defense
  • Building construction times increase as the game goes on
  • Power level dictates unit upkeep
  • Scripted inflation at 3%/year for recruiting units & building buildings
  • General recruitment costs will increase as you recruit more generals
  • Create a General to govern each province, no more upstart penalty past 2
  • Generals are capped depending on how many provinces you own
  • There are 5 levels of Governor that your General can earn, increasing rewards

Other Notable Changes
  • Agents require tech upgrades to make affordable
  • Removed ship spam for almost every faction except Chosokabe & Mori
  • The AI is more aggressive and less predictable
  • You only make money on resources if you’re actively trading them
  • Morale is much harder to break
  • Increased morale trait & retainer stats to match overall morale adjustments
  • Hammer & Anvil or killing a general has a much bigger impact to morale

Not sure what you're asking.

fourstrider  [author] 24 Sep @ 7:16am 
That's by design. I like pretty colors.
JOHN_WARNO 24 Sep @ 1:18am 
for some reason certain effects like flames smoke from bombs and arrows are green or purple
Isha 22 Sep @ 11:43am 
Yes, with the game in french for example ​​there is many missing texts, thank you for your fast reply
fourstrider  [author] 22 Sep @ 8:39am 
It should still work but you wouldn't have any text in most parts of the game.
Isha 22 Sep @ 7:15am 
Hello, the game need to be in english for work properly ?
fourstrider  [author] 17 Sep @ 11:03am 
Steam is the best way, you can send me a friend's request. I think I tied it into the all tiers of the castle get you +1 general recruitment so it will count as +1 per province owned. I can't look right now to know for sure.

Well thank you for the information. I will give it a try sometime. Currently I have been creating mods for MoSS and my time is already quite limited.

Do you know how you made it so the number of generals one can have expands with the size of their faction? I would love to be able to implement that. Just made a mod that unlocks general recruitment with longer recruitment times and the cap at 10, but I would love a dynamic cap like that. (Imagine it is tied to building chains?)

Also, would it be possible to chat with you on steam messenger or discord? So as not to clutter up the comments section...
