I think Sengoku was sort of the stab at that.  It didn't sell well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Oh that's what I mean though. Both Sengoku and Rome (and in fact even the original CK) were sort of failed attempts at doing character driven political/strategy games. It'd be cool if they could revisit them using what they have learned in process of making CK2.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I think that problem with Sengoku was that it's setting didn't sell.

Maybe but Shogun Total War did.

Shogun had battles, and was one of the best strategy games in years.

Tactical, sure. Not strategy

I think the strategy game was also pretty great.  It was just a wonderful game.

Started a game as Boulogne in 867 and quit after less than a year. Turns out your counties are de jure part of Flanders and he immediately DOWed me. His 2500 men against my (with mercenaries) 1800. :lol:

Maternal favoritism.



Tribal holding is restricted one holding per county (except for one Temple holding). Prestige is more important currency than money for tribes (i.e. prestige is used to construct buildings). Vassals don't provide direct troops or money (except tributes).

Playing the rajas is kind of fun. Messed up and became an untouchable and the Hindus don't like me much.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Which one? Shogun: TW2 certainly was a beauty.

Never even heard of Sengoku. So I bought it and it's fun. Needs a lot more events though :(
