Description
"Now that all within the seas are under my rule, our people are rich and our imperial capital has achieved an unprecendented prosperity. As no man has lived passed a hundred years in our history, how could I restrain my conquests only on this land?"
- Toyotomi Hideyoshi

As Toyotomi Hideyoshi strengthened his grip on dominance over Japan, he commenced the construction of Osaka Castle in 1583. The splendorous castle was built with all kinds of luxuries, and it was said to have a tea house built of pure gold. Nonetheless, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, the Toyotomi clan declined and Tokugawa Ieyasu invaded Osaka Castle. Though the Toyotomi clan rallied daimyos still loyal to the Toyotomi clan and recruited ronins (lordless samurais), the defenders were eventually overwhelmed by the Tokugawa forces, resulting in the demise of the Toyotomi clan and the unification of Japan under the Tokugawa regime. Tokugawa Hidetada, the successor of Tokugawa Ieyasu, reconstructed Osaka Castle. The rebuilt Osaka Castle have withstood many destructions and undergone many restorations, and now stands as the most prominent landmark and tourist attraction of Osaka.

this mod should come out sooner. It's pretty weak for the era and often skipped over by even ai because of how weak it is.

This is incredibly cool and seems well balanced. I'm very excited to try it. Thank you.

I have not seen this or any wonder behaves like this. Could be an in-game glitch. Have you tried other wonders that behave like this? I suppose you could also try save and reload the game to see if the graphical glitch disappears.

Was buiding the Osaka Castle and and had a flood that flooded the building hex. The next turn I used a great person to finish building the castle. The great person completed the castle and I received the 5 Ronin. But the Castle figure does not show up on the map although the hex description states the Castle is there on the hex (just can't see it). Any idea why the Castle building does not show up on the map although the hex description says it is there?

This is going too long. If the previous comment did not explain my decision clear enough, then I will cut it short:
I am not going to make changes until Mercenary Game Mode comes out. Spare me the lecture.

Obviously I can't comment on a game mode that hasn't released yet, which might change things, but I also personally just don't find it that interesting strategically if the whole build up until the wonder is exactly the same as a vanilla Musketeer build, and the payoff is just a slightly different Musketeer.
Shevvek 20 Oct, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
If the design intent is for Ronin to compete with Musketeers, then you should consider the feedback from earlier comments regarding why Musketeers will be significantly stronger. In order to give the player a reason to build this wonder, it needs to provide some sort of competitive advantage and difference in build order/strategy compared to simply going Musketeers. It isn't enough for the unit itself to be on par, because building the wonder has a significant lag time.

I need this wonder to be unlocked at Renaissance, by technology or civic (so if a Renaissance civic fits, I might change it).

If you insist to know the reasons, then here are the spoilers:

1. Mercenary Game Mode.
- Ronin are designed to fight on par with firearms mercenary units (and musketeers). Unlocking Osaka Castle too early would be problematic.

2. Japanese castles wonder
- I intend to make more Japanese castles from the Sengoku period (approx. 1467 - 1590), and my plan was to unlock them at the same tech or civic.

I hope this could explain my decision clear enough.
