long shot I know, but does anyone know of a for sure working mod to delay realm divide with the larger map? Expanded diplomacy no longer seems to work, and I am not sure if the ones I do have are working as after taking only a couple of castles I seem to jump to "prominent" prestige already.

Curious how this interacts with Realm Divide with the map being so much bigger. Am I going to enter Realm divide holding the same total number of provinces, therefore only controlling like 5% of the map instead of 35%, and get absolutely quashed by the rest of Japan? Or is there something else at play?

Could you create a historical campaign with the shogun and his vassals (Europa Universalis 4 style)?
In vanilla, the shogun doesn't have a single vassal ._.

add Ming and Korea to the campaign!!!!

i have a little problem: As Shimazu i conquered Osumi province, but when i click on its regional capital then game crashes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Possible candidates for new clans could be Saito and Ryuzoji

can you please make a version with only 4 turns per season ; i was playing as the hattori and my daymio died but my son was 5 years old so i would have to wait 96 turns minimum (9 years)

Much apreciated if you do end up making it, Thanks!

This mod does work, you have to activate only one mod that modifies essential files at time or unite all the mods you need to use in a single .pack with rpfm (Rusted PackFiles Manager).
I will explain better, if you have mods that add units is very likely that they will make the game crush, because all the mods, with the new update, are being downloaded from steam in a legacy mode, which change the names of the tab in the package, like they were vanilla ones, so in short terms, let's say you have a mod like Unique Factions, all the tabs under this mod were renominated with the initial being UF_ , like UF_unit_stat_land and so on, but now when they are downloaded through steam in a legacy way they lose the UF_ at the beggining of the table name causing the game to crush because it reads it as the only one tab for the entire game, losing all the data of all other units etc. so that leads to an immediate crush of the game.

And that is true for every single mod out here on the steam workshop which wasn't updated after the last update of CA. So if you have a very comprehensive mods that modifies entire tables of the base game, like this one, the game will run smoothly, but if you have other mods like the mods that add units and they were not updated for a long time then the game is very likely to crush.
So to solve this you can unite yourself all the mods that modifies such essential tables in one single package and rename every single tabs you add adding something like, for example I'm taking as before Unique Factions mod, UF_ in front of each table added from that mod, and so on for every mods you choose to add, you have to do this only in the db section, which is the database and the most important part of the game and the mods.

It may sound difficult but really is not and is very fast, even with no notion of how rpfm works you can do this by watching some tutorials in about 1 hour, so is not long and not difficult, if you know a rpfm works is even faster, the gold rule when doing this sort of thing create a backup of the file you are modifying so if you make a mistake you can always start over again.

doesnt work anymore

ANy chance to make this work with Darthmod? :)

crash :(

Hello dear author, I was wondering if it would be too hard to make a version of this for Master of Strategy?

It still uses an older expanded Japan version with less clans and less regions. I am a novice in editing tables for mods, I tried to copy relevant data from this mod and replace the data in MoSS mod with this data, but of course without really knowing what I am doing - I crashed.

Was wondering if you could give me some pointers, maybe make a version compatible with MoSS if we're lucky?

Hope your health improves man. Would you want someone else to take over the mod here? You have a few cool ideas of things you want to do.

no

can i use it in FOTS?

man can beat oda nobunaga but not cancer

Sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. I hope you're staying as well as you can in those circumstances.

I really appreciate this mod and the update it brings to Expanded Japan. I especially enjoy the factions. If you decide to update the mod later, a quick note - Ashina's bonus for bows doesn't seem to apply. The experience for spears is working fine. Although I see that you're keen to go with a different faction for them, anyway!

Does it support the multiplay? (I believe the old one didn't....)

@Wiid That's terrible, I hope you'll get well or at least better

@Wiid I hope your health improves and you get better!

@Kagarino Kirie I'm currently dealing with brain cancer so thats not gonna happen sadly

will this mod get update soon? I really like this mod

Can you change the skin of the castle like the one's in FOTS? Thanks

could u please add a playable faction that is around the top left of the south east island? thank you

Thanks for the response earlier, so maybe I'm dumb but I can't seem to find anything to do with increasing the points needed to trigger realm divide but it definitely feels like it takes longer.Does your mod increase the points for realm divide to trigger? If so where do i find that under db in pack file manager?

it just does it automatically

Wiid how did you apply seasons after changing the turns per year or did it just adjust automatically?

sorry I would not know how to fix that

Love the mod but I'm having an issue with my seasons and want to fix it with either MMS or pack file manager. Specifically I want to change what season a month has. I'm not sure if its your mod though but any help would be awesome!

is it compatible with Darthmod?

One question: there is a really cool campaign flag mod (for armies, settlements...), one of that from the 10th anniversary mods, but the thing is, that was created for vanilla, so the new factions have no flags (they are total white). And my question is that can you make them compatible or write me how can i do it? Its really not that important but i would be thankful. (And sorry for my english if its not good)

@Vyrkonik well that is strange ahahaha that's why I prefer this mod instead of all other expanded and endless mods, this is much more cleaned and stable compared to the others.

I did try the endless Japan 5.0 but one problem that came up was I couldn't recruit the metsuke or ninja but the ai could.

@alexscrima tyvm

@Vyrkonik the mod is named expanded_and_updated.pack in the mod list

@Wild what is the name of the file in the mod list?

@Wild actually they work well all togheter, you have cleaned the mod so much that now I can run itwithout any issue along many more mod. 3/4 of my mod list is only related to textures and map uograde, and it is not something that would conflict with your mod, what I'm saying is that someway when playing with Shimazu you get continuosly in the winter season trought all the campaign and I don't know why, like I said I will try another clan and tell if the problem is still there even with other clans.

alexscrima you have so much stuff I couldnt even begin to tell where the conflict is.

@Daniellm I didn't edited any of the startpos, I didn't touch them at all, should I load this one as the latest of the mods? That's mine load order if want to know

This mod is neat, but im not agreeing with how massive the castle garrisons become, a level 3 fort is able to deploy almost 12 garrison units. Thats a little excessive isnt it? An invasion force even came and landed, tried to take one of my "undefended" forts and failed, that may sound neat since i was the defender, but still, doesnt seem very fair especially since garrison units are free, are immune to agent actions, and they replenish instantly.

Is there a way to change this back to a more vanilla-ish number?

Its strange how July and Mid summer are autumnal.

what happent with realm device ? control 60 province and no realm device

yamana clan icon in sengoku campaign is white for some reason

Big thanks, this mod is perfect imo

depending on what you need edited in startpos i MIGHT be able to help. but that's a big maybe
