Gekokujo is a mod for Mount and Blade Warband set in the Sengoku period of Japan. The name is a term often translated as "the low-ranked taking over from the high" and was chosen because it was a running theme during that era: Oda Nobunaga descended from a clan of deputies to the nominal governor of their province, but the Oda usurped them and toppled their neighbors; Toyotomi Hideyoshi began his career as a cook and sandal bearer and ended up the ruler of Japan; Tokugawa Ieyasu was an upstart who probably fabricated a claim of descent from the Minamoto clan--the only ones allowed to be granted the title of Shogun. As a player of Gekokujo, you will start from nothing and attempt to gain control of the entire country, making the title fitting.
Installation Instructions: 1. Install Gekokujo 3.0 (if you haven't already) 2. Install the contents of the patch over Gekokujo 3.0 (this is the only step if you already have 3.0) The patch is 41mb. If it is smaller than that, the download was corrupted and you should try a different mirror.
Is this the same version that was uploaded to Taleworlds forum long ago or are there some changes?
It's the same version. I posted an announcement that hasn't been authorized by the admins here yet, but should also be in Nexus and Steam Workshop about how I stopped working on it but that there had been a 3.1 beta all along
Yes, I know about the beta. You said that you would finish this version for perfection's sake and then post it here so I hoped this was it.
implement battle continuation please
also how to trigger the hidden quest?
oops not battle continuation, i mean endless reinforcement waves
Will you eventually continue work on it or is it done forever?
Hello, I want to report as a big fan of this saga, that the Mod to version 3.1 contains a Bugg the enemy patrols take you all your army say attack, how we surrender! . Solve it as soon as possible to return to war with my samurai :)
Changelog?
what is new?
The newest article has a link to the changelog in this taleworlds thread: Forums.taleworlds.com
(in the spoiler)
Sounds great! It's funny, because I recently got back to the game that I had started a while back and then the update is released just a few days later.
Thank you sir for this wonderful mod
It is my most played mod, and the 3.1 version is fantastic and an inspiration for beginner modders like me.
Cheers
as usually on drugs
@marty4286. You mentioned a secret quest hidden somewhere, and that this quest is incomplete will it stay that way or will it be finished, and also its a big world mind telling us a general area as to where we can search for this mission.
今後も期待しています。From japan.
私も. :) 私はハンガリー人ですが、私 は 日本 の 戦国 時代 を 大好きです。

beautifull and stable :) , one thing to repair ....can you make AI more smart ? Archers dont like swap weapons , any swordsman can kill them easy
Time to mug people... .3. (even though that isn't my style)
For some reason the sashimonos arent on any soldiers exept for me.
How do you break down gates?!
kick them using naked foot
so i dont understand what the instructions, for download. when it says to "Install the contents of the patch over Gekokujo 3.0" what does that mean. im new to the modding community and i couldnt find a video on youtube to explain it.
Might be a little bit late but you just have to overwrite the old scripts.
