Cmon. This is where Hideaki is at the "Toyotomi" side...
Maybe just really, REALLY ramped up the conversion penalties if they switch alignments or the 'more" than usual penalties if they allied with a clan of differing alignment.
(Its clickable by the way....An S2 overhaul mod.)
Seriously. Click it. Its the only overhaul mod that's overhauling enough to bring out NEW clans

More building art to look at. Added encampment, katana and stable lines in v2.

Small progress report: I am currently working on properly implementing the new clans. This seems a pretty lengthy process, as I have to deal with over 2000 relationships. Fortunately, most relationships are neutral.
On top of this, I have made sure I have access to the territories for my playable clan set. I have created 6 of the 9 starting faction leaders. Once I do that, I suppose I'll show them off a bit.
I also gave some thought as to how I would present the first wave of my work. The first version of the mod will be defined as v0.5/an open beta. The idea is to make it clear to everyone that the mod does not yet have the features I want to be considered a v1.0 or onwards. I already have a good idea of what I'll be including in v0.5 and what I have planned but will be waiting until v1.0 to add.
The mod data is really starting to look coherent, and I have to say the campaign is already begetting a pretty refreshing feel. Quite exciting, I'd say .

I updated the main menu image on my first post to cover robin's and my UI compromise, on top of what looks to be a bleak sekigahara due to the christmas update. They will probably revert it, and if that's the case my original frontend set will kick in.
Ah well, sekigahara at christmas time .

I have also revised my description in the first post, now that the modification has clearly taken much of its shape.

Quick screenshot. This one depicts a more historically appropriate Tokugawa Ieyasu, or 'Tokugawa Ieyasu v2.0' if you will. I have a few more tweaks I would like to apply to him, but its much to my liking. Let me know what you think.

Let's see what else I need to do for v0.5....
-Three or so more daimyo to build,
-Minor clan faction colourings (already have their colour schemes written down, so its just dumping that into relevant tables),
-Junctioning new buildings to tech tree and implementing the new farm chain country-wide,
-Polishing off the major factions' scripting,
-Junctioning revisioned vanilla unit roster to new building chains,
-Finish up the custom unit component,
-Complete faction relationship definitions,
-Polish the political alignment system.
I'd say there are a few other things, too.
Two major parts of v1.0 will include:
-unit variety for the major clans, which will see the clan crest applied to a soldiers' headwear and armour as seen in historical depictions, as well as rendering each major clan definitively unique,
-a huge building project, which will be a key part in bringing the campaign closer to my vision.
There are also other things I intend for v1.0, but best not spoil it all .
One thing I want everyone to bear in mind with v0.5 is that it does not come close to what I intend a final version to be. One point, for example, is the units. I am adding a unit pack on top of revisioned vanilla units for v0.5, yet in v1.0 that will be subject to a huge overhaul (and perhaps again and again in future versions until it appeases me). I am a bit concerned that, despite the first version bearing a significantly wide scope, people will take one look and think it isn't worth their time, thereby crippling their interest in the final version. So, I'm taking a shot here and figuring people would respect frequent build-ups of the campaign, rather than sitting around for what could be months without any cool sekigahara-ness .
By the way, these three may not be as glamorous as Ieyasu or Tadakatsu, but are you guys interested in some more faction leaders?

I started with having Naomasa using two shades of red on the underlying clothes and base armour, and a black for the armour knots (and a few other bits). I then tried to make him more relative to an osprey depiction, but I didn't like the look of him as it felt like the whole 'red devil' idea was being crippled. Then comes my third and current take, where his underlying clothes are black and the armour knots are gold (loosely influenced by the aforementioned osprey depiction). Sorry about the gloomy weather . Here he is:

Wow that is really impressive! Good work!
Yeah can't wait on release
That Red devil armor sure leaves...impression...to their foes...
Ah, i hope with this political alignment system, geishas have shirabyoshi's abilities as political lobbyist and seductress, rather than super-assassins
But you know...
Finished junctioning units to buildings.
For v0.5, I have made a single roster for every clan, as I don't want to create faction-specific units for v0.5 only to completely rework them when I start work on v1.0. The campaign has taken this long to get to v0.5 due to the depth of planning rather than modding itself, so v1.0 won't take as long to develop.
The rosters themselves can be described in three parts. Firstly, the standard vanilla units are present, with the recruitability of vanilla ronin and wako units. Secondly, all sengoku jidai dlc units are available to any single faction. They are not accessible if you do not have the dlc. Thirdly, I'll also be putting together a nice unit pack. At the moment I have 12 unit concepts, but this may change.
Essentially the philosophy is more units and more frequent availability.
To top off this post, have a little gander at Osaka. I have repurposed the campaign Kyoto fort for Osaka and Odawara (the bases for the Toyotomi and Tokugawa respectively) whilst downgrading the Kyoto fort (all part of my 'Kyoto is Somewhat Insignificant' idea). Oh, and yes, that is the Toyotomi banner.
