Lo mates, Ive been tracking the works of this mod with interest for the past few weeks or so, but I was wondering if the Suigun (the Pirates of the Setonaikai) would be implemented in the game.

The Setonai Ocean has been a major trade routes between Yamato and Kyushu and Asia for centuries. Even before the foundings of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Suiguns of Iyo sheltered the Heike and helped to end the Heike dynasty by allying with the Genji.

After the extinction of the Kamakura Shogunate, during the conflicts of the Nanbokucho, the Suiguns (with knowledge gained on the complicated currents and geography of the Setonaikai) became more active and formed the mainstray of the Southern Dyansty's military strength. After the Yamato Court was reunited, the Suiguns continued to be a major power, ignoring the strength of the Muromachi Shogunate.

Now make no mistake, these were not the Wako that pillaged Korea and China. The wako were active in mainland Asia. The Kaiguns were independant organizations, speciallizing rather in escorting merchants, acting as guides, and of course finding lone ships and taking over them.
