About leaders.NIP
I checked the Japanese leaders file and found some odd points for me in it; then I'd like to amend them as below. In addition, I removed and added a few leaders so as not to get off balance in this suggestion.
Some of their remarks includes reasons for modification, in particular about their dates. Also, they have already been sorted by startdate.
Modification points:
- I set all of their locations according to the history.
- I removed Tokugawa Iemitsu (id_097809) and Tokugawa Yoshimune (id_097810) in 16-17th centuries because they had never taken part in any actual battle. Instead, I diverted their IDs to new leaders in 16-17th centuries; Toyotomi Hideyoshi and
Shimazu Yoshihiro, a daimyo who achieved distinction in a war against Korea.
- Also I added
Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who was the head of Rojus or Elders (the prime minister, r.1632-1662) and crushed the
Shimabara Rebellion, as a general in the middle 17th century.
- Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu became monarchs later but I set their rank to 1 because of their startdates.
- I adjusted most of their skill values to seem reasonably based on contemporary leaders in other countries and their actual achievements. As a result, almost all of them have now 2-4 values.
(Also, don't you think there're too many generals having 5-6 values in recent AGCEEP? I'm worried that they can easily spoil the game. Of course I know they are separate issues...)

In addition, I think we need to treat most of autonomous local feudal lords as rebels if we regard NIP as legitimate regimes in the game. Then, it seems a bit strange that these lords like Uesugi and Takeda, who historically conflicted each other, can become generals belonging to the same side with no condition as current AGCEEP does.
Maybe we can add some events in which we choose whether we take them in our side. Anyway, it will be discussed continuously as a future issue related to some ahistorical path.
EDIT: I fixed Shimazu Yoshihiro's startdate from 1566 to 1577 because 1566 was his elder brother, Yoshihisa's inheritance year. I confused them. Also I exchanged his ID with Hideyoshi's one following their startdates.
