Religion

[valdstein]

what about religion? will be this BI feature preserved in your MOD? I´m not Japanese history expert but I have some knowledge of religious turmoil during and mainly by the end of this period

[Kagemusha]

We are trying to incorporate the european arrival and the christianity in the game.So basic religions will be Buddhism and christianity,also becouse of the Bi zoroastrim(spelling!?) there will be Shintoism. That allows some chances on troops and tech tree. :original:

Europeans? when do Europe come into Japan?

[valdstein]

1542 is date of Portuguese arrival to Kyushu

[fallingstar]

Dutch people were also the people who arrived in Japan.

[Kagemusha]

Yep. European traders,was what i meant.

[valdstein]

Dutch people were also the people who arrived in Japan.

but Dutch came only to trade, Portuguese (and of course Spanish) also to spread the true faith

this is from wiki:

On August 15th, 1549, Francisco Xavier (a Catholic Saint), Cosme de Tores (a Jesuit priest), and Father John Fernandez arrived in Kagoshima from Spain with hopes to bring Christianity and Catholicism to Japan. On September 29th, Xavier visited Shimazu Takahisa, the daimyo of Kagoshima, asking for permission to build the first Catholic mission in Japan. The daimyo agreed in hopes of producing a trade relationship with Europe. During his stay in Japan, Xavier ordered all missionaries to study the Japanese language and an early form of Romaji was developed as a result. He also succeeded in baptizing and fully converting 100 people to Catholicism - a surprising feat, seeing that he spoke very little Japanese.

So if we had control of some special city in 1542 you would get a special trade route to europe? Would anyone support this idea in the mod? Just a thought.

I think that it should be possible to add for some provincies extra trade comodities (textiles, tobacco, spice etc..) after the arrival of European traders - e.g. Nagasaki was major trade center and there should be found some others minor trade centers. Daimyos which will turn into christian should have some economical advantages which will recompense some disadvatages - revolts, lower morale...just sugestions

And/Or there should a special building Portuguese/Dutch Trading Post which will add some trade income and wil give christian conversion bonus.

All this talk of Dutch and Portugese traders sure brings back a lot of memories. (sigh)

[Gogoas]

Shogun total war...I think i'll go play it right now...

[Atterdag]

Had the Dutch ''converted'' to be lutheranians at the time they arrived in Japan?

[Kinjiss]

a good historical fiction on this is Shogun by James Clavell, I strongly recomend it, it is one of the best books i have read.

Note: the names and things of that sort were changed, or use an older way of speeling it.

I agree with valdestein's and fallingstars's ideas. I think those feature will bring more strategies in this wonderful Mod
