"The Dominion" Specific Changenotes(for version 15)
Here is a visual tour of the newly created "emergent" faction, "The Dominion" and their island chain, Toi Shima.

-Setup an “emergent” faction that hinges upon the health of Tengu. Upon Tengu’s death, “The Dominion” will land and begin it’s invasion of the landmass.
Created new capital, towns, and settlements. Utilized the Gosoku Armor as this “emergent” factions’ samurai armor.
They start with a foothold on a small chain of islands and then begin to slowly, but surely take over the entire UC with worldstates
”The Dominion” will land on the Eastern coast, in the biome of None, east of Howler Maze.
After the UC begins to fall, “The Dominion”will begin to invade and take over old UC cities, with higher intensity.
The reason “The Dominion” are there is to plunder the trade money lost with the UC collapsing. They are originally one of the UC's far off trading partners[The UC trades slaves for wealth]
They are more warlike, more organized, and very much pro-slavery like the UC, with multiple rank colors for their armor.

-Allied the Dominion to the Slave Traders, so they can buy and sell slaves from them...

-Their leader is "Shogun Kazuhiro”and their nobles “Daimyo” Their version of Samurai are referred to as “Bushi

-gokenin (housemen), the lowest and vassals of a feudal lord.
goshi (rustic warrior), they could farm their land but could not have the two swords of the full samurai rank.
hatamoto (bannermen), the highest rank. Only these warriors were expected to die to protect their lord's interests.
(Noted and used)

-Created metal arch bridges connecting all the big islands, with the bridges as a  building that has a replacement before the Dominion get there

-Crab Raiders are their natural enemy
^Gave Crab Raiders spawns in Howler's Maze, if Tengu is no longer alive

-Created medium and light variants of the Gusoku Armor, for the lower tiered soldiers of “The Dominion” to utilize.

-Added in created Daimyo into the Dominion's town overrides.
^Had their local homeless spawns and roaming bar squads be conditioned on the health of their local Daimyo only. Setup their local spawns to be conditioned on the health of their local leader.(for example, gave the Dominion more spawns in the
Great Desert, conditioned upon the local Daimyos being alive and corresponding enemy leaders being ded(whichever enemy leaders have to be dead for that Daimyo to take power in a town override)

-Set the faction setting properly for "The Dominion"(specifically their campaigns, law system, residents, bar squads, trade culture)

-Created a "slave caravan" the Dominion

-Set the appropriate stats for the new variants of the Gusoku Armor

-Set the stats of all “The Dominion” characters, appropriately

-Setup their weapon spawns to be built around the use of sabres, specifically “Foreign Sabres”
^Possible manufacturer name, Dominion Foundry(Amakuni)[Said to have created sword-making, as we know it. He was commissioned by his Emperor to make blades for the entire army.]
Dominion Blademaster(Muramasa)[Rumored to have been taught by the greatest blademaster himself, Masamune, his blades know almost no equal. Some say the blades harness sinister feelings from it's wielder, even going as far as blaming this for all the nobles that have fallen victim to the blades' edge. Regardless, the Shogun took note and had Muramasa arm his vassals and their men.
Shogun's Forge(Sadamune)[Said to be of blood relation to the great Masamune, possibly even his own son, Sadamune's skill is rumored to be rivaled by none but his master, and possible father, Masamune.]
Masamune(top rank, almost cross)
^Set their katanas and katana weapons to the secondary slot, with Sabres as their primary only

-Created an “Eyegore” analogue for “The Dominion,” names Jiroji…

-Gave The Dominion town overrides for Brink and Bark...

-Created Dominion pacifier at World's End

-Created a gamestart for "The Dominion" basically mirroring the Order of Chitrin game start, except centered on killing Tengu

-Set faction dialogue for "The Dominion" especially their officers, as well...
^Wrote dialogue for their Daimyo and Shogun too(These are done)

Love this, but wish all this content wasn't gate locked behind Tengu dying.

@br,

Don't look into how the Order of Chitrin is triggered to begin their "crusade" on the landmass then...

Both "The Dominion" and the "Order of Chitrin" are late-end game factions, btw...

You could start a game with a cheat 100 stats character. With the cheat char you swiftly kill tengu and bugm , recruit someone u wanna play with going forward, then remove the cheat char from the party - import with dead npc`s intact :)

There you go, brain bringing solutions to the table... you love to see it lol. That could work tho, tbh, for users wanting to experience the new factions right out of the gate.
