This looks awesome. First thing that comes to mind, i want to do a machinema of the last samurai like i did with rorke's drift.
I remember watching your Rorke's Drift video when I'd first heard about that mod and wanting to create a similar video XD
YES! I love the Empire of Japan, well at least before they went all fascist and genocidal but that's beside the point.
They are pretty awesome, especially the very first years of the Empire. The mod's time period means that Imperial Japan is set a couple of years after the Boshin War, but while a few rebellions were rising and falling in the main Imperial provinces (exciting stuff!).
I think they should have expanded on a different faction
and I didn't say the mod was dead...
You could have been a lot less rude about it, Parrot has been working on this stuff for the last 3 months more or less. And keep in mind there is another faction reveal to go too.
Let's not get our knickers in a twist. I'm acutally currious as to what you were expecting us to expand on? Microfactions and 20th Century? Those factions were very hard to use in events because of the unfair advantages that they posed over the three "main" factions. Us replacing them with Imperial Japan and the other faction (that we'll release a bit later) means that events can once again make proper use of all five of the factions. And not to mention the fantastic new sceneing opportunities that Japan offers
