Role of Ronin in Sengoku?

[Captain Gars]

There will be ronins for hire, and the amount of them will increase over time as more and more landed characters lose their holdings. Before becoming a ronin, a landless character will (for a time) be able to "wander around" looking for new land.

 

[Captain Gars]

is there a claim system in this game? or is it "might is right" that determines who holds what?

Might is right. Once you siege down a province it's yours.

 

[Birken]

But you can play as a ronin if you has been defeated?

If you have an army, you can play on for a while and possibly gain land to keep on playing.

 

[Birken]

Hmmm.... sort of a GiE-type mechanic?

What now?

Government in exile

Government in exile... only other example of a playable landless entity I can think of.

But, we have no government, and you can't go abroad...
