Shokuho is hardly the first mod to adapt TaleWorlds’ Mount & Blade<\/a> series to a new era of history. Mount & Blade: Warband’s<\/a> startling array of total conversions practically let you command armies anywhere and, indeed, anywhen <\/em>in the world. Yet not only is Shokuho a total conversion for the slightly less well-served Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord<\/a>, but it is also one of the most comprehensive, transposing TaleWorlds’ historical RPG to feudal Japan in impressive depth and detail.<\/p>\n

Shokuho’s samurai action begins in 1568, the year Oda Nobunaga marched on Kyoto and sparked two centuries of civil war and political intrigue. As in vanilla Bannerlord, the mod lets you carve a path through the period in all manner of ways, such as building up your own army, or joining the forces of a local lord to rise up the ranks.<\/p>\n

Yet while Shokuho is built upon Bannerlord’s foundations, this is no simple reskin. Shokuho boasts a completely new map that, according to the creators, is “five times as big as vanilla [Bannerlord], with 56 towns and 181 castles,” all of which are based on settlements, clans, and kingdoms from the era.<\/p>\n
