Shogunate Disbanded

[Fronzel]

Just to see what would happen, I started a DW game as Japan; that is, effective OPM Kyoto-only Japan.

I could essentially do nothing but I just left the game running at max speed. Eventually Ming got into a colonial war with one of the daimyos and overran the entire country. A this point I started getting an event called "Shogunate Disbanded" once a second.

I couldn't find any information about it anywhere, even in the event file for Japan. Does anyone know anything about it?

They broke the shogunate again in 5.1 and it doesn't disband properly most of the time. This is apparently fixed in the 5.2 beta.

Yeah Japan is so messed up in 5.1 it isn't even funny. No extenal power can effectively disband the shogunate - this makes the conquest of Japan painful and time consuming at best, impossible at worst.

Afaik you aren't supposed to play Japan directly. Pick one of the daimyos!

One player managed to kill the shogunate off with rebels and an invasion from the outside so every province aligned itself with the emperor.

Yeah, I know. I was just messing around.

Japan was broken from the start in DW. They didn't break it with a patch.

the only japanese feature that works properly in DW is the picture of the samurai on the loading screen.

And they have nice flags.
