Sorry,dudes.I have extremely busy for real issues right now,so delay to replay.

@ Te. Kenzo
Well,I thought too.It would be real.However if so,playng as vassal daimyos would be boring,like Indian minors of British satellite or Ionia island.

@ tanathos
Yes.The Bakufu can't became Japan.Personally I like the Tokugawa Bakufu than Modern Imperial Japan so I decided that the Bakufu still have some regime after win the civil war.
It's rather deteminated.If the Bakufu was controlled by the player,it would be too easy to playing.

@Sjiveru
Modern perfectures were based by Tokugawa daimyo's domains.Although these names were almost changed.
If you help me,you are welcome.

Hey Yoshino, no problem

I eventually figured out the mod wasn't meant to be played from their perspective if you wanted SOME kind of challenge.

Having now played up to the 1870 as another Daymo ( I forget the name, but the one with the black sun as a flag(also I stopped in 1870 because of the number of ships built in POPdemand mod makes it impossible to rule the seas)), I have a few more comments :

- When the civil war events fire (aka joining the Court faction, the first victory against edo, the second victory against the northern forces, the establishement of the Repulic of Ezo) the tag of Japan seems to change after every event (and they can happen quite quickly), so that if your forget to reload you can have some messed up relations with the newly acquired satellites.

- When you become Japan and have united the island, would it be possible to have a decision to gain cores on the northern Halshenwai (I probably messed that name up) islands that are usually contested by Russia?

- When you're a single Daymo, there isn't much to do as you eventually inherit half of Japan through event. Therefore conquering is pointless (on top of Daymo's not attacking each other at all, but I guess that's more of a problem with the game AI). Do you have any plans to make the early years more interesting? (I'm not sure what could be done).

- Last but not least, if a player DOES decide to plays as the Tokuwaga Bakufu, could it be possible to have a decision to cement the unification of Japan? Also, if the Bakufu did indeed become a united country, wouldn't they call themselves something other than Tokuwaga Bakufu? I'm not well versed enough in Japan history to have any more idea than that on the possible outcomes.

Any way, "Arigatō gozaimasu" for your work, it's already made Japan a lot more interesting to play (on top of giving us a way to get rid of the Samurai model before the 1890

)

-edit-
Also, as Japan/Bakufu becomes more nationalistic, I'd love for a prussian like decision to get some appropriate tech bonuses. I usually go for "The Merchant Marine" academia, but I'm not certain if Commerce and Navy is what really symbolized Japan of the late 19th century.

So is this mod still progressing... ?

Well,right now I have some real issues of personal life(By the way,it's not related on the earthquake and tsunami).
So,I don't have enough time to developing this mod.sadly...

I'm sorry it's not a perfect mod I intended,but even so,I'm proud of making this loving tiny mod.
And thank you for playing my mod.
I'll make another new mods or games someday!(when my life become calm down a bit
