Sunrise Invasion: A Fantasy Menace
When you bought the Sunset Invasion, did you feel that it was a bit lacking? Somehow, getting spit-roasted by the Aztecs and the Mongols just wasn't satisfying enough? Perhaps you needed every other parts occupied as well?
Be disappointed no more for I present you an expansion to the infamous Sunset Invasion, the "Sunrise Invasion". Following the story of the Aztec Invasion of Europe, the Aztecs clashed with the Incas back in the New World with the Mayans now seeking refuge in the Old World. The Incas seeing a strategic opening, launched an expedition of its own to the Old World. However, they did not anticipate the Japanese when they decided to do a two-pronged attack in both the occident and the orient. The world being bigger than they thought it was, the Incas were quickly devastated by the Japanese Samurai Army. Upon encountering this menace, the Japanese Emperor who previously only had ceremonial role, deposed the then Shogun of Japan and united the divided Chrysanthemum Throne and the various warring clans to chase the remnants of the Incas who have attempted to escape to the Indian Ocean. While across the Japanese Sea in mainland China, various powerful individuals bid their time and scheme to overthrow their Mongol Overlords while enviously coveting all things under heaven...

Compatibility
Because it is my intention to make this mod as compatible as possible (I'll even make it compatible with StarCraft! If I could...) as such there are minimal changes to the vanilla files. The only things changed are some of the graphics and coats of arms files. So long as a mod does not change these and not use the same ID ranges.
