As a big fan of CK2 , Sengoku seems as quite interesting game , what i'd like to know is there any mod or mods , that add to it ? Or will it be to shallow compared to CK2+ and other CK mods.

It will be shallow compared to CK2 because it doesn't have the support or fan base that CK2 has. However, it is an excellent game in its current form and there are mods for it. I believe you can get it on sale right now so this should be a good buy for you!
It will be very shallow compared to CK2. I'm still very disappointed with this purchase.

Whilst it does not have the same depth as CK2 I would still highely recommend Senguko. CK2 leans more towards dynasty politics where as Senguko is all about out smarting your rival clans militarily. Its great fun and I find Im always on edge with Senguko, I secure my weakpoints through territory gain or marriage alliances but I never feel completley safe.
The map is far more dynamic also. With the focus on warfare you see the A.I clans constantly shifting in strength. You cant help but take notice of the other clans success and hope they screw up. I play the game on x1 speed just to enjoy getting engrossed in the games world. I struggle to do that with CK2 as the world is much more static.
I do hope that a mod or even a DLC comes out that offers more 'events' to bring more story to the characters and their relationships. Other than that I feel its a brilliant game.
There is an excellent mod in the works called MIH which brings much more to the game. There is substantial content in it already. With its current build you will need to edit a character file and delete 3 conflicting characters from it otherwise it crashes when you try to choose different start dates. Its very easy to do. PM me if you have trouble with it.
Overall, I strongly feel Senguko is a really fun game. If you know how to play CK2 then you can jump straight in and enjoy it. For anyone who hasnt played CK2 or Senguko and is wondering which to go for I'd recommend Senguko as its easier to learn and sets you up to better understand CK2's mechanics.
And whilst Im at it, I recommed watching a fantastic film called Ran to get you in the Samurai mood and if your paticulaly interested I found these documentories which are excellent for understanding the period your playing in. In order... Way of the Samurai, The Will of the Shogun, The Return of the Barbarians

Why are you disappointed? Did you come in expecting something else or did you just not enjoy it?
