I played so many hours on there. There was a mod that added all the historic provinces and factions so there were something like 120 territories on the map, I made a coalition of at least a dozen factions with the goal of eradicating Christianity from Japan and uniting everyone. There was another mod that made diplomacy better so the coalitions would actual last. And one other that made each turn one month instead of one season, much more immersive with all these. So much better than vanilla even though I enjoyed vanilla a lot too. Glad to hear I haven’t missed out not playing the new ones.
