But then I read on facebook saying no, so what the deal?

 

[Darkrenown]

You cannot.

 

[Joel M Bridge]

Damn, could be done in patch or exapanstion?

My guess is that if you lose all of your lands then the game is over. I don´t think there will be a patch or expansion to change that and I think there should not be. The only honorable thing left for a daimyo who have lost his lands is to commit seppuku.

I agree on this. Harakiri would be the only viable option for a daimyo of the Sengoku Jidai-era to reclaim the honor he had lost with the conquest of his land.

Also, necessarily, a patch wouldn't exactly change the fact that you can't play as ronin samurai - patches are generally meant for patching the game's bugs and, sometimes, glitches (hence "patch" ).

You cannot.

Why it changed?

(I am not questioning, just curious)

I don't remember but I think it ended up being one of those "wouldn't-this-be-cool?"-friday-beer-ideas that never got beyond a post-it because of lack of time or some technical issue.

So it was not a conscient design choice and we can still hope for it in the future?

No I don't think it was because anyone disliked the idea. As I said it was most likely a technical issue that would have taken too much time to solve.

We could get lucky and it would mod it in one day.

This isn't the kind of thing a mod can do.

Kandletaadu, sounds clunky and not very useful. I mean, the AI can already play as a ronin i believe and if the human player has seriously fallen that far then i doubt that their half destroyed, 1 province army without military access anywhere is going to be able to reverse that. Its too little too late.

Having said that it might be able to do things in another way and start a player off as a 'ronin' by using your technique (or something similar). Then with some heavy event scripting (and some diplomacy to direct it) it might be possible to represent their travel through Japan and an event chain with the possibility to align with another daimyo and be given land from them, or to take your own in a war with a small spawning army. But then again, you could just not bother and play the game normally as a single province faction.

I don´t think it´s clunky, nor pointless. In my opinion, this would be a brilliant way to dribble a gameplay limitation. And it would be totally epic to rise back from ronin status to Shogun.

That would wet dream, or even better, start as ronin, and throught in game scripet and choice, on how you gather your masterless band to being with.

that means they'll need to add in new mechanisim to fit in for ronin characters and players. And knowing how close the release date is, the best bet is to hope and ask for it in case PI plans an expansion.

That's way too early to discuss now since the original isn't even out yet, so let's just see how Sengoku does first.

Still nice to dream, it would be interest way to create your own persona, ever play conquest 1086, one best character generator, and fair interest GS game as well.
