Bakumatsu Mod

[Yoshino]

OVERVIEW

I made the Bakumatsu(meaning of the latest shogunate period) mod in Vicky2.The mod aimed at improve Japan to more historical atmosphere.
I added Tokugawa Bakufu(Shogunate) and 30 Daimyo(Feudal lord)s.Now Japan is divided into The Bakufu and many Han(domain) of Daimyos.



I will add more historical events of this period.
This is my first mod.

[Yoshino]

A few screenshot.



East of Japan.



West of Japan.



The Boshin War break out! choice which faction you participate(or declare independence!).



After the Bakufu surrendered,Ouu Etsu Doumei (The northern alliance) has still fought.



The republic of Ezo.the first republic of Japanese history,and the Last enemy of the campaign of unification Japan.

[Elifrim]

Looks like some good work dude, just a small question, how is Westernisation handled?

[Yoshino]

Hi Elifrim,Westernization would be handled as result of event chains.
After Japan unification event(maybe it's similar of the American civil war event.The pro-court army vs the Bakufu army) fired,new Japan will be civilized(westernized).
But if playing as the Bakufu,alternative way would be added.

[Yoshino]

v0.11 is out!

- added provinces for Ainu mosir to Ootomari,Shumshu and Etorofu.
- adjusted population of Choshu,Tosa,Aizu,Hikone and Utonomiya.
- changed faction's names to more suitable.

[Tanzhang (譚張)]

Question: could you create a "lite" version with just the Tokugawa Shogunate and a SatCho "CSA" faction? also, could you also create a westernisation decision for the Tokugawa? (Japan westernising just because they defeated the SatCho factions is unrealistic)

[Yoshino]

Ver0.12 is now out!

- added new goverment type 'Shogun' and 'Daimyo'(effect are same as absolute monarchy.just a historical flavor).
- added the dicision for the USA to "Send the Perry squadron to Japan' and the receive event of the Bakufu and all Daimyos to "Kurobune appear'.
- removed Japan and Ezo core from all provinces(prevent allowing independence by player).
- Strengthened Choshu.
- corrected reactionary faction's name.
- changed Nagano's RGO from fish to coal.

At Tanzhang
I think before the Boshin war event fired,all Daimyos should decide which faction(Pro-Court or Pro-Bakufu) they participate(annexed).
Afterthat,two factions begin to the war.
Maybe when Edo was occupied,the Bakufu surrender event would be happen.
So,you are right.The Boshin war event would be rather a 'lite' event.
(I don't have any expelience with Vicky2 event scripting,so a difficult event could't be made by me).
As for the Bakufu westernization event,yes.I think it would be a bit longer way than the Meiji restolation event.

EDIT: Only the player Daimyo could declare a neutral.Because some player might be prefer to still playing as a Daimyo than become a part of Japan.

[Arturius]

Hi Yoshino, great Mod! Have you got a map where I can see the division of Japan (Tokugawa period). I need this for my own ambitions as modder. It would help me a lot. Thx.

Edit: Could I make use of your flags? (It is all for a HoI2-Mod)

[Yoshino]

Sorry, Articles.I don't know any site which contain Tokugawa-period map for English.
Although,I find a good site for it.

If you have a hard time with old-Japanese map,feel free to ask me via PM.

[Yoshino]

I added the Boshin war events(a test version).
After 1850 year(The Perry fleet arrived),The decision "Overthrow of the Bakufu" is available.it's requires prestige is above 20.After that,the Boshin War event fired(also,after 1867 year,automatically fired) and all Daimyos choice a participating side.
(If decision was fired by an AI Daimyo,Player Daimyo also choices,but additionally can choice a neutral).

By the way,Does anyone who know how to an event command that make a military unit(such as make a Infantry at Edo)?
After inherit all Daimyos,their army disappear.It's annoyed.

[minefield]

Looks very promising!

Are you going to import the symbols of the prefectures as flags? Wikipedia

[Yoshino]

Thanks you.
I think these symbols of the prefectures are not suitable for Vicky2 period because of most of these are made after WW2.

[minefield]

Thanks you.
I think these symbols of the prefectures are not suitable for Vicky2 period because of most of these are made after WW2.

Did americans influence the choice of the symbols? I thought about using them for democracy or republic...

[Woody Man]

This looks great! Japan is often overlooked in it's complexity in EU games.

If you'd like, and I have some spare time, I can help clean up the English for you

[Yoshino]

@minefield
That's good idea.I'll add these flags as a republic(a bit modify).but sadly,right now I don't have enough spare time for make flags of republican daimyos.Maybe in further update.

@Woody Man
Thanks a lot! I've always struggled for translate into English.
If you make clean up the description of decisions and/or events(both in localisation folder),send me via PM or this thread.Those'll be includeded on next update.

[podcat]

this is really cool. do you have any problems with external countries trying to take advantage and grab parts of japan now that its split up?
