Ran no Jidai

Ran-no-Jidai is a mod for Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion that focuses on the civil war that engulfed feudal Japan following the Onin War and the weakening of the Ashikaga Shogunate. The project has been running for a long time and has appeared on various modding communtities under a string of different names and with a number of different contributors, although the current leader of the project, Kagemusha has been a part of the Shogun Mod-Team, which is working on the mod, since an earlier incarnation.

The main objectives of the mod are to harnesses the RTW engine to create a modification which accurately depicts what was one of the most reknowned and longest running civil-conflicts in history, re-create the unique atmosphere and gameplay that made Shogun Total War such a success amongst gamers and to provide an alternative flavour of game to fans of the Total War series.

Despite the fact that this project has been running for over two-years and has experienced a number of significant hick-ups, the current team are making good progress and are confident that it won't be too long until the mod is finished and released.
