lets drop a few personal reflections on all the comments:
- its not going to be EU3 with japan setting. its a game about characters and dynasties
- character interaction in ancient japan are very different from anything in europe/CK2 (I mean its a period where people would actually cut open their own bellies to make a point to their master)
- japanese history is very unique and interesting. my personal favorite.
- we've been wanting to make a sengoku game for a long time. I think the combination of having worked out some CK2 tech and being easier to pitch because people are interested in the period due to Shogun 2 made it happen now, but thats just my guess. Although comparing Sengoku to Shogun 2 is like comparing Empire: Total War to EU3
- I'd keep the hentai stuff off this thread because someone will probably delete it. also tentacle monsters werent invented yet in the 1400s
 
oh, podcat i so envy you :) working on sengoku game... how cool it would be...

Well, poor podcat doesn't work on it.

Also I assume that having just done all the historical research for DW didn't hurt the decision either?

No, but it doesn't really help that much either. The scope is so different and really specific and detailed compared to a small part of EUIII. So it was back to the books. :)
