  • 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

Boss Type Game-play
  • A Boss fight will take place when trying to capture a major faction’s stronghold

  • 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

  • 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

  • D class: Owari Unwavering Yari, Satsuma Veteran Samurai


Scripted Seasonal Effects

  • 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

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.

Hello, the game need to be in english for work properly ?

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...
