Ran-no-Jidai is a mod for Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion that focuses on the civil war that engulfed feudal Japan following the Onin War and the weakening of the Ashikaga Shogunate. The project has been running for a long time and has appeared on various modding communities under a string of different names and with a number of different contributors, although the current leader of the project, Kagemusha has been a part of the Shogun Mod-Team, which is working on the mod, since an earlier incarnation. The main objectives of the mod are to harness the RTW engine to create a modification which accurately depicts what was one of the most renowned and longest running civil-conflicts in history, re-create the unique atmosphere and gameplay that made Shogun Total War such a success amongst gamers and to provide an alternative flavor of game to fans of the Total War series.
